1 - Dragged to Death

I took a deep breath.

I took another one.

And another one.

I opened my eyes only to see nine smiling idiots in front of me. I closed my eyes shut again.

"I'm giving you three minutes to drive me home," I said with gritted teeth.

"Chase, naman. Nandito na tayo," Kuya Charles said in his usual nanlalambing tone and that just made me disgusted.

"Kuya, I'm in my pajamas!" I motioned my hands from my head to toe and they all scanned the pink, strawberry designed pajama terno that I'm wearing.

"It's cute." Kuya Lio's comment made me ball my fists.

"Nandito na tayo, Chase." Kuya Sullivan walked towards me. "Just play with us."

I just sighed. If Kuya Sullivan thinks that this is okay, this might really be okay. Well, except for my attire. This will never be okay! I just hope I don't see any cute guy here.

"Aw!" I glared to the guy who pulled my hair.

"Mas sumusunod ka pa kay Sol kaysa sakin." Kuya pouted. Iww.

"It's not like I didn't grow up with him and Kuya Blade," I said.

Well, that's true. Kuya Sullivan is our cousin while Kuya Blade is Kuya Charles's bestfriend since elementary. I literally grew up seeing them almost everyday. Plus, Kuya Sullivan is the most responsible person I know.

"Don't worry, Chase." I turned to look at Kuya Seth as I felt his hand on top of my head. "Kelan ba tayo nagtagal sa escape room? Sisiw lang 'to."

"Tayo? Really? Kailan ako sumama sa inyo?"

"First time mo ba 'to?" Kuya Kyle asked and I just looked at him flatly. "Hindi naman required magbihis ng pang-SM para makapasok dito, Chase."

Tsk. Says the one who's screaming Gucci from head to toe.

"I didn't even get to brush my teeth!"

"Don't worry about that, lil sis." My brother was smiling from one big ear to another and I never liked that smile. "Tada! I brought your morning routine kit!"

I facepalmed. Just what did I do in my past life to be with these idiots in this life?

I sighed for the nth time and just grabbed my pouch from his hand. I searched for the comfort room and did my morning ritual.

I mentally groaned when I looked at myself in the mirror. Yes, I looked fresh after the skincare but heck! Fuck, pajamas.

"Done?" Kuya Dean was the first to notice me when I went back to their spot.

I nodded, still not smiling.

"You still look pretty, Chase," Kuya Chem said. I just pouted at him.

Then I felt an arm wrapping around my shoulder. "Syempre naman. Ako yata ang nagpalaki dito."

"You're not my dad." I removed Kuya Blade's arm and he just chuckled.

"Are you done?" Kuya Xion approached us. "Give me your things. Ila-lock ko na 'yong sasakyan."

I gave him my pouch and he went to the car with Kuya Chem.
