Drop the Ball [Completed]

Chapter 01

[Important note before reading:

This is a "cliché, boring, nonsense, fast-paced with flawed, red flag characters who keeps on making bad decisions in life" kind of story.

I write whenever I feel like it because it's my way of escaping from reality. I haven't re-read my stories after finishing it because I'm somewhat busy in life outside wattpad so you might encounter lots of grammatical, punctuation and typographical errors (I'll try to edit it if I got the chance so please bear with me.)

This book is free and no one is forcing you to read it. If ever you feel like it doesn't suit your standards then you're free to stop reading it without leaving harsh comments towards me, my characters and my stories.

We are all struggling in life so let's give each other a favor and mind our own business. Let's protect our peace of mind at all cost and stop stressing each other.

Thank you and I hope this story will give you comfort as I wanted it to be.]

Chapter 01

"Nice one! nandito na pala si Mary!" Sigaw ni Jere nang makita nya na papasok na ako sa bar.

Not the usual bar na kulob at madaming tao na nagsa-sayaw sa dance floor. This bar is serene, tahimik lang. Nakaupo lang iyong mga tao habang nakikinig sa banda na tumutugtog sa may stage.

"Goodevening." Bati ko tapos umupo sa tabi ni Levi, iyong drummer nila.

Ayoko tumabi kay Jere kasi nagvi-vape sya, ayoko sa amoy ng vape. I mean ... oo, amoy bubble gum iyong juice non pero ayoko padin. Hindi naman sa maarte pero nakaka-suffocate kaya ... ilang beses ko nang sinabi sa kanila na bad iyon kasi nakakasunog ng baga pero pasaway silang dalawa ni Yujin. They  always say na mas better daw iyon kaysa sa yosi pero I don't think so ... bahala sila dyan, matitigas ang ulo nila.

"Buti pumayag ka na mag-sub kay Bree, hindi na naman makaka-attend, e. Alam mo naman iyon, takas lang lagi sa mga magulang." Sabi pa ni Jere sakin.

Tumango lang ako sa kanya. Nag-text kasi sakin si Yujin kanina na kailangan nga daw nila ng sub-vocalist para sa performance nila tonight. Not just a simple text pero iyong text na nagpapa-awa kaya naman na-guilty ako. Need daw kasi talaga nila iyong gig na 'to kasi nasa ospital ang mother nya at kailangan nya nang pambili ng gamot. Mukhang loko-loko lang si Yujin pero sobrang mapag-mahal n'yang anak, isang bagay na naiinggit ako sa kanya kasi sobrang close talaga sila ng nanay nya. Hindi tulad ko ... I have a complete family but I always felt like I'm not belong.

Sabi nila ganoon daw talaga kapag middle child ka. Hindi  ka nila masyadong mabibigyan ng attention kasi naka-focus sila sa panganay at bunso. They will always thought that you're gonna be an independent human being and can take care of yourself alone pero kasi minsan parang sobra na. In many times feeling ko hindi talaga nila ako anak kasi parang wala lang iyong existence ko sa kanila.

Si Ate Audrey lang talaga ang kakampi ko, she's always the one who assured me na hindi naman ako ampon. Na sadyang busy lang sila Mama at Papa sa trabaho kaya ganoon. Noong una naiintindihan ko pa but not until I decided to take Journalism as my course at hindi Political Science. Mga lawyer kasi sila kaya they expected us to follow their footsteps, but not me. Hindi ako ... kasi feeling ko hindi naman ako para sa field na iyon.

I always wanted to be a Journalist, I don't know why ... siguro kasi I always see myself doing blogs. It's something I enjoyed doing. Hindi naman kasi ako pala-salita. Tahimik lang akong tao, mas gusto kong sinusulat iyong nararamdaman ko kaysa sinasabi ko. Ang weird diba? pero wala, e. That's me. I always wanted to write for a newspaper or for magazine, that's my dream job and knowing that I'm not the only one dreaming that kind of job ... sobrang saya ko. Meeting Kamila and Zivawn will always been the most precious moment to me, we share the same dreams that's why I cherish the two of them. Sana lang hindi kami maghiwa-hiwalay na tatlo.
