Andrea
I fixed myself when night came. Andrew said that we're going to have dinner with Shan's family.
I seem to be the only one they invited together with Andrew. I don't even know why Andrei and Andrello weren't invited.
~ Arcardia Mansion ~
"Sir Andrew and his sister are here." the maid said while standing at the front door of the dining area.
She opened the door for us so we entered inside. We were invited here to the mansion of the Arcardia family for dinner.
Al is really crazy. It looks like he's looking for a fight.
"Andrea what?" Andrew also seemed annoyed because of his sister's behavior.
Andrea looked at him angrily.
"Why the hell am I here? I'm not part of this family." Sh asked annoyed.
"Al likes to stare at Andrea. He seems to know exactly how to pick up a fight with Andrea." Tristan whispered shakily.
He's beside me. It looks like my sister and I had a bad idea.
"They invited you." Andrew replied.
"Tss."
She averted her gaze and moved it back to Al who was still staring at him. a glare is deadly, Al might be dead right now because Andrea is glaring at him.
"I'm sorry." Andrew apologizes to the Chairman.
"It's okay." Chairman said. He looked at Andrea before asking her a question. "What's your name?" Chairman asked.
"He just call me by my name a second ago, don't you heard it? Are you deaf?" Its whisper that we all heard.
"Andrea!" Andrew shouted.
Now I'm sure, he's really mad now. There was a tense build in the dining area. That's the first time I hear him shout. Gosh! He's scary.
"That's my name." She said.
"Stop." Kuya Andrew warns her.
Andrea finally stopped. She just turned his gaze to the food in front of her and stared at it.
Oh my goodness! I don't know that inviting her over will be a disaster. That was intense!
Andrea
I went to the Chairman and his wife in the office. I know what I did earlier was wrong. I'm just not in the mood and I'm even more annoyed that Alistair doesn't want to take his eyes off me.
"Miss Andrea is here." The maid said then opened the door for me.
I saw the couple standing in front of the glass window and observing the beauty of the city from their office. They both looked at me and stared at me for awhile before the chairman speak.
"Sit down." Chairman said.
I bowed slightly to pay him a respect before declining his offer.
"No, thanks. I won't be here for long." I refused then walked closer to them.
"Why are you here?" Madame Arcardia asked me. The Chairman's wife.
"I just wanted to apologize for what I did earlier. I'm sorry." I said while bowing my head so that they could see the sincerity in me.
They both smiled at me when I looked up.
"It's okay." Chairman said. "Sit down first." he added.
I no longer refused and just sat on the couch in front of the Chairman's wife.
"I noticed you don't like my grandson Alistair." She said.
"You're right. I don't like him."
"Why?"
I also don't know why my blood is boiling when I see that man.
"Because your grandson is so arrogant." I reason.
They laughed at my answer. I noticed that this family likes to laugh for no apparent reason.
"Let me apologize on his behalf, hija. Don't worry, we'll tell him to stop being arrogant. He's really arrogant since before. A lot of people complain about it." She says.
Alexa
We are all in the living room now. It's late but we're all still here. Andrea leave already earlier. She look so tired and sleepless.
After we had dinner she left immediately. We didn't stopped her. We just let her go because she really seems so tired.
"You shouldn't have ordered your sister to apologize to us, Andrew." Grandma said.
"Pardon? Who are you talking about?" Kuya Andrew asked.
See? Even Andrew did not know.
"Your sister." The Chairman replied. "She went to our office earlier. She apologized to us."
"I didn't order her. I thought she left earlier." Andrew said.
"He also went to our room earlier." Mom said.
They were surprised when Andrew said he had not ordered it.
"She's a nice girl, I think." Tita Almira said.
Andrea also went to say sorry to them earlier.
"What's nice about her?" Alistair asked.
He is always against it when it comes to Andrea.
"She has a rude personality." Sandra added.
She's Alistair's sister.
"But she knows how to say sorry when she knows that she's wrong on what she did." Dad said.
Dad's right. He has a point. If it was me, I will be ashamed when I realize the mistakes I have made. I no longer have a courage to face the people I have done wrong.
I salute to her braveness. That is braveness for me.
"She's beautiful." Alimir said out of a blue.
We all look at him after he said that.
He's Alistair's little brother.
"I like her." He added.
"You're still a kid." Alex said.
"She can be my sister." Alimir said.
"How?" Blake asked. He looked at Alistair.
"Court her, Alistair."
We all look at Alistair when his brother tells him that.
"Nah, Never." Al said.
"Why?" His mom asked.
"She's beautiful. You like beautiful girls." Sandra added.
"She's beautiful, you're right. But I don't like her. She's not my type." Al answered.
"That's the reason why me and your mom is now a lover." Tito Jason said with a teasing tone of voice.
"Tss. It's you and mom. Not us."
Tita turned to her youngest son Mir.
"Don't worry baby, she'll be your sister, not now but soon." Tita said.
"Dreaming is free mom." Al said.
Hayys! He don't even pretend to make her mother feel great.
"Isn't there a saying bro that ' THE MORE YOU HATE, THE MORE YOU LOVE. '" Tristan said.
He's teasing Alistair.
"So does it also mean that the more you love the more you hate?" Al replied with a sarcastic voice.
He's philosopher, joke. He really have a rebuttals for anything. Why don't he just shut his mouth up even just once and listen to us?
He's really going to lose to us.
"There's nothing like that bro." Tristan said.
"Tss."
We talked about Andrea.
Andrew told us everything Andrea didn't want and wanted. She hates it when someone is watching her every move. That's why she is always mad at Al because Al is always staring at him.
"She doesn't like noisy and crowded places so she's always in his room or in a library." Andrew said.
Andrea Days and weeks passed. Raia, Lexa and I became closer to each other. I can tell them about myself even if they don't ask me. I can say that having a friend is fun too. "Okay class, you have a new classmate." Our adviser said. There is a transferee? A man entered our room. He is not yet in uniform. He sure- Wait, what is this prick doing here? "Introduce yourself." Mr. Chavez commanded. He nodded to our teacher before facing us. "I'm Jake Amilton. Your new classmate." he introduces himself to us. "Sir." He call our adviser. "Yes?" ~ Sir Chavez. "Can I move my seat?" he asked. And where does he plan to move his seat 'Don't tell me ... "Where?" He looked at me then smiled from ear to ear. "Oh, I want to move my seat next to Andrea Smith." This prick... I stood up to refuse
Alistair "Don't invite her. She hates parties and loud places. She won't be able to handle the noise there." Alistair said. His birthday is coming up next week. There will be a party, of course. He's a son of the owner of one of the biggest company in the world. His part will be different from the other rich kid. There are two venues for his party. One in a bar, one in a hotel. They will held a party at the hotel for the people invited by his parents. And he will held a party at the bar for his friends and for people he invited. Isn't it fascinating? "Are you worried about him, bro?" Tristan asked while grinning. "Nah. Why would I be worried about that freak?" "You're referring to yourself, right?" I sarcastically said. "Nah, I'm referring to you." "Oh, I thought you're referring to yourself. Because between us, you're the freak and not me." "Okay, that's enough." Raia rebukes us.
Andrea I just finished taking a bath. I feel so good and refreshed after the shower. I dressed myself before coming down to have my dinner. I just wear my usual thing. An oversized shirt and a pajama. This is how I dressed when I'm just in our house. I don't need to wear a dress or a gown or any fancy clothes if I'm just going to stay at my room. Why would I? tch. "Come here and eat." Mama said. She's preparing the food at the table. I was right on time when I went down. Our dinner is ready. I sat down next to my youngest brother. "What's for dinner?" I asked. "What do you see?" My youngest brother imitated my answer to him the other day. "Tss." We have already started eating dinner after my mom served the food. As usual, me and my brothers, we teased each other while we're eating. That's our usual thing every time that we're together. That's our bonding. E
Alexa I don't really know what to do with those two. Both of them doesn't want to lose at each other. "It looks like the two will never get along." Tristan said. He's losing hope with those two. "It seems so." I agree. I can't cheer them up because I'm also losing hope that those two will still get along. "Every day can't end without those two arguing." Raia said. "I don't know what to do anymore. Maybe next time they'll hurt each other physically." I said. That is not vague to happen. I think Andrea hits Alistair's ego. "I hope a miracle come. I wish that they will get along soon." Raia said. I hope so too. We're now getting ready for our P.E. class. Basketball is our P.E. Our teacher separated us from boys. Girls vs girls and boys vs. boys. We can't play this ball game against boys because they are good at this game.
Andrea A few days have passed since the accident happened. And because of that incident I can no longer participate with the P.E. subject. They didn't let me to join because they thought it might happen again. This is Jake's fault. If he didn't tell my parents about what happened, they won't forbid me to join our P.E. class. I was in a hurry to leave the house because I was late again. Thanks to my alarm clock that didn't ring. They also didn't wake me up so the ending, I woke up late. Damn, I'm late again! ~ School ~ "I told you, Smith. I won't accept you if you're late again, so leave." - our math subject teacher Ms. Velasco. I had no choice but to leave. I took a walk inside the school because I had nothing else to do. Why of all days that I would be late is in Ms. Velasco's subject? This is so frustrating! I felt hungry so I thought of going to the cafeteria fi
Andrea Lexa left first as well as Jake and Asher. I first went to the teacher's office to ask for a quiz. They said that they had a quiz earlier, I don't want to miss it so I asked our subject teacher if I can get one but she said no. When I arrived at the parking lot I immediately got on my motor and started it. But I felt something wrong as I started my motor. I stopped to see what I was feeling wrong. I saw both tires flat. "Who the hell did this?" I asked myself. Damn! Why am I having a bad luck today? I rummaged in the pocket of my skirt to get my phone but I didn't get anything. I looked at my bag to see if I had put it there but nothing. I was so unlucky today. I was planning to call them brother to ask for help but I haven't brought my cellphone. I just took my motorbike and started walking. As I was walking and taking my motorbike with me someone suddenly hold me at my
Raia "Don't continue with your plan." I said I'm talking to Blake. "Don't worry, babe. There's nothing to lose if we try." He said. "Do you know that they'll probably fight more because of that?" He thought about what I said. That’s what I worry about when the plan goes ahead. Knowing Andrea. Maybe she'll get mad at us. Oh, I have a gut feeling that their plan will fail. "Don't do your plan. Don't go ahead with ypur plan." I said convincing him. "We already call Al and Andrea. There's no backing up." Blake said. Oh crap! I hope my gut feeling is wrong. I don't want Andrea to get mad at us. She's kind but she's scary when she's mad. Tristan and Alexa came together. We're here at the control room where we can watch what's going on. The hotel is owned by Blake's family so we can do what we want here. You are right. We're going to lock them up i
Alexa I wonder what's going on there. We are here at Andrew's house waiting for the right time to let them go. We're all in silence no one speaks to us and everyone is bent over. We don't know what's going on in that room. We don’t know if our plan was successful because we didn’t put a hidden camera in the room for their privacy. "Hello everybody!" Jake greeted us as he entered. "Oh Jake." ~ Andrew. He approached us and sat down on a couch. He looked at us one by one and seemed to be looking for something or someone, I guess. "Where's temper tantrum?" I'm right he's looking for something. Oh not something but someone. "Incarcerated" Andrei answered. Jake was surprised by Andrei's answer. "Incarcerated? What do you mean incarcerated?" He asked confusedly. "Alistair and Andeng were locked together in a hotel room." ~ Andrello
Andrea"Oh, Moonlight. Kamusta?" Bati ni Ash."Ayus naman." Sagot ko.We do a fist bump and hug each other afterwards. Ganito kami magbatian, eh.Siya ang nakaisip ng kalokohan na 'to. Cool daw sabi niya eh alam ko namang tyansing lang siya, tss."Napadalaw ka yata?""Bakit kasi hindi ka pumasok?" Asar na tanong ko.Hindi sana ako pupunta dito sa bahay nila kung pumasok lang siya."Si Blaine kasi. Aalis sila mamaya kasama ang lolo at lola niya. Pupunta daw ng States kaya sinusulit namin ang araw hanggang tanghali." Sagot niya.Aalis din sila Blaine. Sana naman ay hindi ko kasabay sa eroplano 'yon. Baka magkaaway pa kami dahil nagpunta 'ko dito. Ayaw mag eskandalo sa loob ng eroplano."Bakit ka nga napadaan?" Tanong niya pa."Magpapaalam sana ako. Aalis na din kami mamaya,

Natatawang aniya."Pa'no ba?" Tanong ko.Naglakagay kasi kami ng icing sa cake na binake niya.

AndreaBinabantayan ko si papa habang si mama ay naghahanap daw ng pagkakakitaan. Kailanman ay hindi ko naisip na aabot kami sa puntong 'to na maging si mama ay maghahanap ng trabaho.Masyado na kaming nagigipit. Hindi ko na alam kung pa'no pa kami aahon. Hindi ko na alam kung saan pa ako kukuha ng lakas ngayon.Halos wala na ngang pahinga si mama. Naaawa na ako sa kaniya. Wala akong magawa kung 'di ang maawa nalang.Bakit kasi ganito? Bakit kailangan na umabot sa ganito?Ano bang ginawa ko at pati pamilya ko dinamay nila? Laban ay laban. Bakit kapag natalo sila ay pamilya ko ang pinuntirya nila?"'Pa?" Napatayo ako sa kinauupuan ko dahil bigla nalang nag seizure si papa. "'Pa!""Nurse!" Pagtawag ko sa nurse."Anong nangyayari?" Tanong ng isang bantay."Tumawag kayo ng doctor! Bilis!" Utos ko.
ChanoHiling ni Queen na siya na ang lalaban sa lahat. Ewan nga lang namin kung ano ang nangyari at parang mainit ang ulo niya.Habang nag eensayo siya dito sa gym sa bahay nila Xander ay ang lakas ng pagkakatira niya sa lahat.Lahat ng suntok at sipa niya sa punching bag ay malalakas lahat. Parang may pinaghuhugutan siya ng galit."Ayus lang kaya si Queen?" Tanong ni Xander sa akin."Malay ko ba. May problema yata." Sagot ko.Alam naman namin na may problema talaga siya pero parang nadagdagan pa. Hindi naman kasi siya ganiyan, eh.Ano kayang nangyari sa kaniya at bigla siyang nagkaganiyan? May nangyari kaya kanina sa bahay ng mga Crimson o sa gymnasium?"Baka masira niya 'yung punching bag sa lakas ng pag atake niya." Bulong ni Xander sa akin kaya natawa ako."Kaya mo namang palitan 'yan at sa inyo naman
Andrea"'Ma, kamusta na si papa?" Tanong ko kay mama pagkabalik niya galing ospital.Hindi pa rin kasi nagigising si papa hanggang ngayon at nasa ICU pa rin. Sana nga ay magising na siya ngayon.Wala akong pake sa bills ng ospital ang kailangan ko ay magising si papa. Kahit na gaanong kalaki pa ang bayaran namin."Tulog pa rin, 'nak." Bakas ang lungkot sa boses ni mama habang sinasabi iyon.Hindi ko naman siya masisisi dahil asawa niya iyon. Mas matagal niyang kasama si papa kesa sa amin.Mas nahihirapan si mama kesa sa aming mga anak nila. Alam ko 'yon. Kaya wala akong magawa kung 'di ang yakapin nalang siya."Magiging okay din ang lahat, 'ma."Alam kong tinatatagan lang ni mama ang loob niya para sa amin. Gabi gabi kong naririnig si mama na nanalangin at umiiyak.Na trauma din siya sa nangyari sa kaniya
Alistair"They're here." Blake said looking at the entrance of the gymnasium.Napangiti ako ng makita ang tinutukoy niya. Sila Andrea kasama sila Lexa at Raia."Hi, girsl!" Bati ng teammates ko sa kanila.Kumaway sila Raia at Lexa samantalang si Andrea naman ay ngumiti lang ng bahagya sa kanila."How are you feeling?" I asked."Ayus lang." She replied and smiled at me."Pwedeng akin nalang 'yung isa?" Pabirong sabi ng isa sa mga teammates ko habang nakatingin kay Andrea ng nakangiti.Mabilis kong inilagay si Andrea sa gilid ko saka siya sinamaan ng tingin."Who are you smiling at?" Tanong ko sa kaniya."Syota mo ba 'yan?""Yeah. So get off your from her if you don't want me to take it out from you.""Brutal mo, dre."Nagtawanan lang kami d
AndreaNakapagbayad na sila sa ginawa nila sa pamilya ko. Pero hindi pa rin nawawala ang galit sa puso ko.Hanggang ngayon kasi ay hindi pa nagigising ang papa ko. Comatose pa rin siya at walang kasiguraduhan kung mabubuhay pa siya.Walang kasiguraduhan kung magigising pa ba siya. Walang kasiguraduhan ang lahat.Maaga akong umalis ng bahay namin. Hindi na ako kumain at dumeretso ako sa ospital para bantayan si papa.Nakalabas na din sila mama ng ospital kahapon at pinagpahinga muna namin siya sa bahay.Pagdating ko sa ospital ay dumeretso agad ako sa ICU kung nasa'n si papa."'Pa, gising na. Haba na ng tulog mo, eh. Baka naman gusto mo ng gumising. Uso 'yon pa." Saad ko.

AndrelloDan Antonio. 'Yan ang pangalan ng g*gong sumira ng break ng sasakyan nila mama kaya naaksidente sila at namatay si lola.Sa t'wing naiisip ko si lola ay lalong umiinit ang dugo ko sa lalaking 'yon at nadagdagan ang galit ko.Sa isang warehouse daw naglalagi ang g*gong 'yon ngayon dahil napalayas siya sa bahay nila.Wala daw kasing ibang inatupag kung 'di ang maglakwatcha. Isang lumang warehouse na 'tong pinaglalagian niya. Kaunting panahon nalang siguro ay sira na 'to.As expected ay nandito siya ngayon at naninigarilyo. May alak din sa mesa niya pero walang baso. Tinutungga lang niya ang alak mula sa bote nito."Kamusta, kaibigan?" Saad niya ng mapansin ang presensya ko. "Ano ang maipaglilingkod ko sa iyo?"Tumungga muna siya ng alak at humithit ng sigarilyo bago tumayo at nakangising tumingin sa akin."Bibigyan

Mariing banta niya."Sino sa mga kapatid ko ang sasaktan mo?""'Yung bunso mong kapatid.""Ahh..." Kunwaring natatakot na sabi ko saka tumayo sa kina-uupuan ko."Hindi mo magagalaw 'yon dahil galit na galit din siya gaya ko. Wala kayong magagawa sa kaniya dahil mas magaling pa siya kesa sa inyo. At alam mo ba kung bakit hindi sumasagot ang mga co-leaders mo? Dahil ginagawa din niya kung ano ngayon ang ginagawa ko."Nanggigigil siyang tumingin sa 'kin. Matalim niya akong tinignan kaya sinamaan ko siya ng tingin."Dahil sa inyo, namatay ang lola ko. Dahil sa inyo, nanganib ang buhay ng mama at Tita ko. Dahil sa inyo, comatose ang papa ko. Dahil sa inyong mga g*go kayo
