He Loves Me [NH FanFiction AU] [EDITING]

Chapter 1

[edited]

* Persephone's POV *

I hate going to classes. I see school as another prison just like the house I live in with my mom. 

Another reason I hate school is that they disrupt my sleep.

Anyways, 'di naman talaga ako foreigner eh. Well, at least not with the way that I look. Parang taga rito lang ako, though my speaking skills of Tagalog still have this weird accent.

Ako nga pala si Persephone Mill and I'm already 18 years old and I just got back from California, I'm now staying at Manila. Basically, I'm new around the place so I have no friends, again.

Andito ako sa kwarto ko, I'm temporarily staying at mom's, kasi I still don't have any house that I own. She kept knocking at my door, pero wala akong kibo, ganun talaga ako madalas, pero sa umaga lang or bago matulog. 

Nang mairita na ako sa paulit-ulit na katok, tumayo na ako at pumunta sa pinto ko at binuksan ang pinto. I wasn't giving a damn for this kind of time in the morning; wala akong pake kung ano itsura ko alam kong haggard ako.

"Persephone! Go and fix yourself" My mom said in a loud, obnoxious voice.

"I don't want to" I blatantly told her.

"NO! you need to go to school, dapat 'di ka absent sa first day ng school mo" she retorted. 

Alam kong important ang school, but I just don't feel like doing anything today. Jet lagged pa rin ako so my body still have to adjust to whatever it needs to just so I wouldn't feel nauseous. "I'll meet you downstairs." 

I could hear her go downstairs and I took that initiative to lay down on my bed one last time before planning on how to fix myself.

Call me immature, but it's early in the morning.

Tapos pumunta ako sa whole body mirror ko at nakita ko ang sarili ko.

Di ko alam na may pugad na ako ng ibon sa mismong ulo ko, akala ko sa mga puno lang makikita yun. 

 "Jeez, ang baho ng hininga ko" sabi ko sa sarili ko at kumuha ng damit sa wardrobe ng high waisted jeans, white crop top, and a black leather jacket. 

I started showering and while I was taking a bath, I couldn't help but to pretend as though I was this celebrity and started singing different songs while waving at my pretend fans. 

"Sing! I'M FALLING ON CLOUD NINE, CRASHING FROM THE HEIGHTS—"

"SHUT UP AND COME DOWN QUICKLY!"

I'm already hating it here.

-

Natapos akong maligo and I'm currently drying my ombre colored hair. 

Biglang pumasok sa isipan kong plantsahin yung buhok ko for the day and went to fix my face with the make up bag that I brought with me from Cali. 

Yung bag ko na may 5 notebook lang at few pieces of pens. I took a look at my little cash stash hidden in the wooden floor and took a few money out. I didn't forgot to tuck my laptop in my bag, just in case that I might get tired of writing down notes I can just type it our or record what the professor would probably say.

When I was ready to leave, bumaba ako at nakita si mom na nagluluto pa lang ng breakfast. Nilagay nya ang niluto nyang egg and ham sa plato so I kissed her cheek as a thank you. 

"Morning mom" bati ko sa kanya, "morning pers, kumain ka na, para 'di ka na malate okay" sabi niya. I nodded and ate the food she cooked egg and ham. Pagkatapos kong kumain nag toothbrush ako and finished my look with the lipstick I had with me after I left my room. 

Nag sapatos ako ng black na ankle boots, at pumunta ng garage at kinuha ang car keys sa maliit na cabinet na pinagtataguan namin ng mga bagay na maliliit sa garahe. I threw my bag on the passenger seat as I entered the car on the other side of it.

"Persephone, darling!" narinig kong sumigaw si mom at napalingon ako "your phone," and gave my phone "you left it " sabi niya sabay kiss sa cheeks ko. "Thanks" sabi ko at nang tumingin ako sa relo ko nakita kong malapit na akong malate.

 "I'm about to be late, I have to go. Take care, okay?" sabi ko at kiniss ang cheeks niya at pumasok sa drivers seat and turned the ignition, I waved my hand as I rolled the window down while I backed out of the garage. 

"Bye be careful!" sabi niya nginitian ko na lang siya at nagsimulang mag drive papuntang school.
