Two Less Lonely Strangers

Upside Down

Yna's POV

"morning my princess, how was your sleep?" I was shocked and almost drop the glass of water cause I didn't notice that my Dad was behind me.

"ahm.. It's good. "my short reply.

"hmm okay cool... Yna I don't wanna rush you on this but we have to talk about your schooling as early as now so you can start by next schoolyear." Dad paused and gave me a leaflet.

"I don't think I'm ready for some sort of schools but I can study at home like home school Dad. "

"No, I don't want you to be all alone every day, I mean I want you to go out and explore and meet friends outside and find your interests and experience something new." Dad insisted.

"I don't know Dad. " he saw me frowned.

"okay okay, I guess it's too early for this but please think about it okay." I just nodded and he kissed my forehead and about to go to work but before he walk out the door he stated..

"by the way, we've been invited to go to your Tita Angela's house in Davao this weekend, I bet you missed Stella. Love you Princess" he winked while smiling and finally leaved.

Haaay.. Ano ba yan. I don't know why do we need to go to Davao. It's not that I'm angry with them or whatever pero I'm a bit shy eh and awkward too you know be with my Dad's first family it feels like so uneasy to me. But I can't say no to my Dad, I mean after all they're his family and I'm his daughter so, I don't know what to say.

Lumipas ang halos isang linggo ng klase pero di pa din nagkikibuan sina Dominic at Darryl.

"Brow ano ba hindi pa din ba kayo mag-aayos ha? " saad ni John habang nakapagitna kina Dominic at Darryl. Kasalukuyan silang nakaupo sa gym habang nanonood ng volleyball.

"bahala nga kayo." tumayo si John tila napuno na sa dalawa niyang kaibigan at lumakad palayo. Wala pang isang minuto ay tumayo din si Darryl at dirediretsong lumabas ng Gym.

Tatayo na din sana si Dominic nang may biglang dumating..

"hey Dom! What's up? " tinig ng isang babaeng nakasuot ng uniform na pang volleyball .

"oh hi Kelly what are you doing here?" napahinto si Dominic at hinarap ang tumawag sa kanya.

"isn't it obvious? I am a volleyball player now" pumostura ang dalaga at ibinida ang suot na uniform.

"wow that's.. that's awesome I mean how'd you get here? " pagtataka ni Dominic bakit nga ba nasa school si Kelly at tila kasali sa volleyball team ng Campus.

"oh I thought Darryl mentioned that I just transferred here yesterday?" naguguluhang sambit ni Kelly.

"ahm.. " napailing lang si Dominic.

"hmm.. Well I guess we'll be schoolmates from now on." nakangiting saad ni Kelly at tumango naman si Dominic.

Ring... Ring...

Alex Calling...

"ahm Kelly, I'm sorry I ahm have to go. Goodluck sa game! " nagmadaling lumabas ng gym ang binata bago pa sagutin ang tumatawag sa phone niya.

"hey wassup dude?" bati ng nasa kabilang linya.

"I'm good Brow. When are you coming to Manila? " habang naglalakad si Dom.

"I don't know man, Paps is not allowing me to travel yet, sabi niya I have to prove him that I'm mabait na. He even cut my allowance so I don't have any funds to go there." narinig ni Dominic na malungkot ang kaibigan niya.
