Chapter 3

Asher's POV

She's the legitimate daughter and I'm the illegitimate son. Oo, anak ako sa labas. And that's because she was born.

When I was a child, I thought my life would be perfect. I thought my family would finally be complete. Pero lahat ng yun puro akala lang.

Our Dad met my mom first before her mom. I was born first. They we're just 17 that time when they found out that mom's pregnant. They agreed to marry each other when they turn 21. I was just... I don't know? Almost 3 years old back then. But I could still remember it. Well, not really everything. It wasn't that clear anymore but the pain that I felt that time remained. I wish it didn't but it felt like it was stuck in me.

A few days before their wedding day, we're all shock by my father's news. He got another girl pregnant. I was actually happy at first because he told me that I'll have a younger sister. I got so excited to meet her. I don't care if she'll just be my half-sister. All I know is I will take care of her and love her like my real sister.

But everything seemed to change after that day. The day before the wedding, my Dad said he can't marry my mother. I thought he was just joking at first but damn! He walked away leaving me and my mother crying.

After a few months we just heard that he's already married with his other girl.

But... After everything that happened, I can't even get mad at him or to Tita Sandra. I got angry at their daughter. She's the reason why my life's a mess right now. And I will never forgive her for that.

"Earth to Asher!" I almost fell in my seat because of that person who screamed near my ear.

"What the hell, Raven? Are you out of your mind?!" Halos mamula na ako sa inis dito pero siya tumawa lang. Great. Sinamaan ko na siya ng tingin at nang makita niya ako ay tumigil na rin siya sa pagtawa.

"Okay! Okay! Sorry na! It's just kanina ka pa nakatunganga dyan." Pagpapalusot niya pa. Sus alam ko naman na gusto lang akong kulitin nito.

"She's right. You're spacing out. Are you okay?" Castiel asked.

Oo nga. Ngayon ko lang narealize na nakadating na pala ako sa school. Kanina pa malalim yung iniisip ko na hindi ko namalayan na nandito na pala ako. Buti hindi ako naaksidente. That would be a pain in the ass. Student's license pa lang meron ako. I'm not even supposed to drive without adults' supervision pero pinilit ko si Dad.

Hindi ko na lang sinagot yung tanong niya at dumiretso sa upuan ko. This is really weird. Hindi ko man lang rin namalayan na nasa 4th floor na pala ako. Sa sobrang sanay na yung katawan ko sa everyday routine ko, hindi ko na namamalayan na kusa na itong gumagalaw kahit na malayo yung isip ko.

How I wish that could happen to the pain that I've been feeling. Na since sanay na ako, kusa na lang mawawala.

"Oh! Andyan na pala si Cass at si Levi eh!!" Raven said. Sabay sabay kaming napatingin sa pintuan at kitang-kitanamin kung paano mabilis na hinampas ni Cass yung bag niya kay Levi.

"Hi guys! I'll be back before our class start, okay? Hintayin ko lang si Yvette sa cafeteria. See you!" Then she walked out of the room.

"Tsk. Hindi man lang nagpaalam ng maayos. She's really close with that Yvette, isn't she?" Naiiling na sabi ni Levi. "Paano kapag gusto niyong maging parte ng grupo yung Yvette? Payag kayo?" Sabay tingin niya sa amin.

"First impression ko sa kanya, mukha naman siyang mabait. So why not? At isa pa, Cass thinks she's okay and I trust her so I guess it's fine with me." Nauna si Raven sumagot kaya sunod naman naming tinignan ang nasa tabi niya na si Castiel na medyo mapula yung pisngi. Anong nangyari dito?
