She's Kinda Hot (The Remake)

Familiar Face

KENJIE

Honestly, hindi naman kailangan ang presence namin ngayon dito sa korte para makakuha si King ng restraining order sa mother ng half-sister niya at temporary guardianship.

Si King na din naman nagsabi na mag-antay nalang kami ng balita sa gang house pero dahil bida-bida ang ate ko at for support daw kay King kaya maski ako nandito na din.

Palabas na sila King at Queen, sa lawak ng ngiti nila mukhang nakuha naman nila ang pakay nila dito.

"Did it go well? Nakakuha ba kayo ng restraining order? Guardianship?" Bungad ng ate ko, tumango naman si Queen as an answer

"We're good to go" sabi ni King sabay hudyat na pwede na kaming lumarga

I borrowed Ian's motorcycle since ayoko munang makisakay sa kotse ng ate ko. Opo, I love my peace so much and I shall protect it even though it means being alone.

Nakasunod lang kami sa BMW ni Queen at mukhang sa hospital ang tungo namin. Mukhang idi-discharge narin ngayon si Brianna.

Di na ako pumasok sa loob, silang tatlo nalang tutal wala naman akong gagawin dun. Ang papel ko lang ata dito is forgery, yup, inutusan po nila akong mang-peke ng papeles.

"Ken-ken" tawag ni King kaya ibinulsa ko muna cellphone ko at hinarap sila

Beside King is a girl, with an arm sling and some faded bruises on her face. She wears Earl's leather jacket and under is a grey t-shirt match with light denim pants and slippers.

*amused*

That's Brianna???

I'm assuming her to be younger than me! But no, mukhang ate ko pa ata.

I didn't expect her to look like one of King's play dates! Ohh wait, ahh now if you let me recall, she has long black hair, fair skin, slim body, a little mole on her nose and small face that is fairly beautiful enough for King's standard. Ahh siya yung napagkamalan naming babae ni King noon dun sa SM.

"That's Brianna?" I looked at each of their faces.

Queen is unfazed, King is nodding and my sister is looking confused.

"Yana, si Kenjie ang pinakabata sa barkada" pakilala sakin ni King

Tumango naman ako at tumingin lang.

"Nice to meet you po" she said 'po'

"I just turned 16" I instinctively replied

"Ay, sorry" she looked away

"I-it's okay, madalas akong napagkakamalan na mas matanda sa edad ko dahil sa height" I just said more than the amount of words that I should say

"Magka-edad lang naman sila Brianna at Yumi, okay lang na di na kayo maggamitan ng po at opo" sabi ni King

Later, at a restaurant where we decided to have lunch dito na nagpaliwanag si King.

"It's obvious already to everyone how my father doesn't treat me like his because I look different from the rest of our family. Mas kamukha pa nga nila si Brianna kesa sakin hahaha" he laughs but I know that there's an annoyance behind his words

Tahimik lang akong nakikinig habang kumakain ng fries.

*sipping coke*

"Sure kayong magkapatid kayo? I didn't mean to offend but the age gap is just too close" my sister asked while looking intensely at the siblings

Brianna was looking a little bit uncomfortable, medyo intimidated pa nga ata.

Parang ewan si ate Len-len, magkaibang matres nagdala dun sa magkapatid at kahit sabay pa silang ipanganak magkapatid parin.
