Cleaning
Wednesday 4:56 PM

"Thank you manong" Sabi ko at tumakbo at kumatok.

Bumukas yung pintuan at si Diego ang pinakita.

"Oh Lex bakit ka nandito?"

I pushed past him and ran to my room I heard his footsteps behind me.

"Uy ano meron sayo?" Tanong niya ang I scratched my head.

"I may have a date."

He laughed hard, "Weh?! Who?! Si Topp ba?!"

I stopped and glared at him, and he shrugs. He doesn't know I like him so eh.

"No, besides he has a girlfriend. The guy I am going on a date with is Trevor, you obviously don't know-"

"Trevor Garcia?!"

I turned around surprised, "Kilala mo siya?!"

He laughs and walked closer to me, "Wow, ang lucky mo! He is a pretty nice, but I know for a fact na di mo siya magugustuhan."

"Huh baket naman?"

"He is a nice guy, but I have a feeling he is not your type."

Bumaba na ulit siya and I stood there thinking of what my brother just said. Well kung di ko siya type, we will probably just be friends besides. First time palang namin magmemeet.

I shrugged off the statement my brother said and continued looking for the 'perfect' dress.

---

I gave him a chance. Turns out tama kapatid ko. Di ko nga type, gwapo siya, gentleman, mabait. Pero parang may hinahanap ako eh na di ko alam kung ano.

"Sorry Trevor." Sabi ko and he just smiled and nodded.

"It's ok we tried and we both know it didn't work out"

Awkward silence.

"Kita-kits nalang sa school?" Tanong ko at tumayo siya ng tuwid at ngumiti.

"Yeah probably"

Yes. Si Trevor ay nasa school ko din, except higher batch siya, so di niya ako halos kilala or nakikita. Tinanong ko siya kung kilala niya kapatid ko and he simply said yes. Apparently dati magbarkada sila and not so long humiwalay na si Diego sa barkada at sumama kina Jack.

Well anyway, wala naman hard feelings kanina sa date we both know na di siya gumana. Don't get me wrong di naman inend yung date agad, after a few conversations sinabi ko na di gumagana and he agreed. We continued the date but it is more of a getting to know a new friend.

I watch him as he drove off, I immediately changed to my pajamas. But suddenly my phone buzzes. Tiningnan ko at galing kay Ma'am Julia. I opened it.

It says:
Hi Alexa! Ask ko lang asaan ka? Kasi mag papatulong sana kami ni manang sayo sa paglinis ng kusiba eh. Pero kung busy ka, ok lang :)

I don't want to go pero inisip ko doble sweldo so...why not? I changed my clothes and left again. Di na ako magpaalam kay Diego, mukhang tulog na eh. I left the house.

I arrived at the Crossford's house and knocked on the door.

"Manang! Si Alexa po ito."

Bunukas yung pintuan at nakacleaning attire na si Manang. Taray.

"Ay buti naman dumating ka, likha likha."

Binaba ko gamit ko sa sofa at tinali yung buhok ko para maging ponytail.
Pagpasok ko ng kusina ang gulo at madumi. To be honest first time ko lang maglilinis ng kusina, but when I was a young girl pinapanood ko yung mom ko maglinis pag wala ako magawa. I tried to help her pero lagi niya ako binabawalan so ngayon wala akong experience.

"Oh iha ilabas mo muna lahat ng gamit dun sa drawer na yun at punasan mo yung loob ng drawer."

"Ah sige po."

I grabbed a chair at tumuntong ako, at binukad yung drawer at dahan dahan nilabas isa't isa. Hanggang matira yung nasa dulo na di ko makuha kuha dahil sa height ko. Bwisit. I reached for it and failed many times. I almost got it!

Then....I fell.

I screamed and closed my eyes, and suddenly napansin ko parang ang tagal ko naman umimpact sa lapag, sky diving ba ito?

I opened my eyes and saw another pair of orbs looking straight at me...smirking.

It is Topp.

We stared at each other, his smirk faded and turned into a thinking face.

"Ayie naman!"

Sabay kami tumingin kay Manang who is grinning and we looked at each other and both our eyes widened cause he was still carrying me, but then he dropped me.

"Aray! Uso magbaba ng tao ng dahan-dahan!"

"Be careful next time." Sabi niya st naglakad palabas and I made funny faces while he was facing his back.
