What will you do if that someone will.....

"Maika! Come on down, breakfast is ready!"
I'm still half asleep when Dad called me.
"Your Aunty Sandy will come later!" pahabol pa niya.

I just woke up and bad thing already happened, Aunty Sandy is my 'step-mom' she was just the secretary of my Dad last year but since Mom died... I guess she become a part of our life.

I stood up and went to the bathroom to wash my face.
I hate seeing my face because it resembles My Dad. Ever since He and Aunt Sandy became together I hated Dad.

"Morning" bati ko sa nakangiting Dad ko na kumakain.
"Morning Princess, eat your breakfast na at I'll send you to school na"
'Di na ako sumagot doon, sa totoo lang ayaw ko na talagang pumasok pa, I just don't feel like it. "What time will she come?" I asked referring to Aunty Sandy.
"Oh she'll come by later evening, we'll have dinner so you must behave" he answered while looking at his phone.
"Please, no phone at the dining" I said, ayaw ko naman talaga ng nagpo-phone sa hapag, napaka-walang manners na nang gagawa noon.

After eating, I went to my room and to the bathroom to take a bath, after that I just put on my white polo shirt partnered with gray slacks, I also put on my blazer.
"Are you ready na?" Dad asked, muffled pa ang boses niya dahil nasa labas siya ng room ko.
"Yeah! Just wait a sec'!" I answered and took my bag out of the closet. Oo, nilalagay ko ang bag ko sa closet, I feel na may bubukas noon at may kuhanin kapag may pumasok sa kwarto ko, My privacy is still needed.

I got out of my room and went outside the house, there I saw Dad waiting inside... my car!
"What the hell!" I shouted.
"What?! I don't want to drive my car! At saka 'di naman kita masu-sundo mamayang uwian niyo" He answered.
I just pouted and went into the shotgun seat.
"Nga pala, na-plano mo na ba kung saan ka magka-college?" Dad asked while driving.
"4th year high school pa lang ako Dad. 'Wag ka masyadong atat" Sa totoo lang ayaw ko na talaga mag-aral, I mean what's the point?! I already have everything I need!
"Mas mabuti nang handa anak, marami nga d'yan na hindi makapag-college or makapag-aral man lang kasi wala silang pera"
Anong connect?!

"I know, Dad" I lied. "Ang kaso, blangko pa ang utak ko sa mga ganiyan"
"Gusto mo ba sa Ateneo, Princess?" He asked again, how many questions will he ask ba?!
"Maybe, if I'm to choose. I'll choose UST" I lied again. All I really want is to not go to college or school.

"I-If you're Mom is the one who ask you, will you still choose UST?" I was caught off guard at that one. I immediately look at him. He's still driving but I can see the pain in his eyes when he asked that.
"I don't know" This time it's the truth that I answered. I know na hindi magugustuhan ni Mom ang pagsisinungaling ko kay Dad so I just said that. 'Di ko rin naman talaga alam ang sagot.
Nabalot kami ng katahimikan sa loob ng kotse hanggang sa makarating kami sa school ko.
"I'll see you later" He said before giving me a kiss on my cheeks and giving my keys so that I can park my car.
"Likewise..." I answered.

Pumasok na ako sa room namin, kung sa bahay ay mala-prinsesa ako, dito sa school... hinde. Wala akong kaibigan sa school na 'to.
It's one of the reasons why I don't want to go to school, it sucks to be in here.

Pupunta na sana ako sa upuan ko nang bigla akong nadapa dahil may nangbunggo sa 'kin.
"Sorry! Sorry!" He said. I immediately stood up and look at him in the eyes. His eyes were dark and the longer I look at it the deeper I sink in.
"Okay ka lang ba?!" Nag-aalalang tanong niya.
"I'm fine" Nginitian ko lang siya at umupo na ako sa seat ko, nasa pinakalikuran ako dahil matangkad ako.
Napatingin pa ako sa kamay ko na may kaunting galos pero dinedma ko lang 'yon.
