Mr. Mystic

Chapter 2

Cold as Ice

"Abby"

"Abby!"

"ABBY"

"ABBY!"

Nakaramdam ako ng malamig sa aking katawan. At parang dumadaloy ito pababa.

"MOTHER OF CHEESECAKES! BAKIT MO AKO BINUHUSAN NG TUBIG?!" Sigaw ko sa lalaking bumuhos ng tubig sa akin.

"Bumangon ka na. You should look at yourself. Pfft.. And one thing, baka ma-late pa ako dahil sa iyo. Pfft... Hahaha" Tawa niya.

"TRISTAN DE LA VEGA! Lagot ka sa akin mamaya!" Sigaw ko at dali-dali siyang lumabas at padabog na sinara ang pinto.

I lazily went to my bathroom looked myself at the mirror. Ugh. I look disgusting. Pano ba namang hindi, hindi lamang tubig ang binuhos niya, hinaluan din niya ng baking soda.

By the way, that guy earlier is Tristan De la Vega. Nope not my father. Cousin? Nope. Niece? Nope. Friend? Eww. Enemy? Maybe. Boyfriend? Definetely no. Nope not just my brother but also my TWIN.

Yup, you heard it right. He's my twin. And love him very much. Mind the sarcasm. *rolls eyes

His traits? Crazy but overprotective. Kahit naman lagi kaming hindi magkakasundo, we're still twins... Y'all already know what I mean. I don't wanna say it.

Lumabas na ako pagkatapos ko maghanda at bumaba na sa ibaba. Nasa stairs pa lamang ako ay naririnig ko na ang mga usap-usapan. You already met my brother. Perhaps, you should meet my parents?

I saw my parents talking habang si Tristan ay kumakain lamang at hindi kumikibo.

Inangat niya ang mukha niya at pagkakita niya sa akin, he just smirked. Curse that guy! Patay talaga siya sa akin mamaya!

Dahil sa ginawa niyang pag angat ng tingin ay napatingin rin sila mommy sa akin. They just smiled kaya nagpatuloy ako ng lakad at tumabi kat Tristan. Labag man sa aking kalooban ay wala akong magagawa. Hindi naman pwedeng tumabi ako sa kanila ni mommy, magtataka iyon dahil tatabi naman ako kay Tristan every breakfast.

"How are both of you these days?" Tanong ni mommy sa akin.

Most of the times, nasa business trip sila so they need to catch up... As parents.

"Masaya naman ang nagibg bakasyon namin sa Cebu. We went to a lot of different places" I answered

"That's good. You should learn to be independent" Dad said

"By the way, how are you and Ethan? Did you already answer him?" Mom asked. Good thing walang laman ang bibig ko, kundi I'm pretty sure I'll puke.

"Mom! Hindi siya nanliligaw. And besides, we're just bestfriends" Sagot ko.

Mom and dad just both laughed.

Mom really wanted me and Ethan to be together. I don't why pero lagi nyang pi-nush yun.

"We're just bestfriends. Tss" Tristan mocked. I gave him my deadliest glare and he just laughed.
