Since we met

"All: Acute lymphoblastic leukemia, Ami: Acute myocardial infarction or simply as heart attack-- "Putangina ang bobo mo naman cedrick!!!!! nasa likod yung kalaban!!!!" I sighed to myself as i was interrupted to my readings, i calmed myself before going back to my memorization. "B-All: B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia, Fsh: follicle stimulating hormone, a blood test for follicle stimulating hormone which is used to evaluate fertility in wo-- "Ayan! tangina bakit kayo nagdedate dyan? Gago, cod 'to hindi omegle mga bobo!" i furrowed my brows once again because of my irritation, this asshole! everytime nalang talaga na nagrereview ako laging sumasapaw yang bunganga nya. Isa pa 'tong sila kuya eh! alam na marami akong readings! I stood up, para kumatok sa kabilang kwarto which is kwarto nila kuya kung saan nanggagaling ang mga pambubulabog, i knocked the door twice before my kuya yael opened the door for me, "Yes baby girl?" he said when he saw me with his nakakabwisit na smile. I greeted my teeth before i step forward. "Can you just please lower your voice? It keeps me bugging! May mga readings ako o baka naman ako pa ang kailangan mag adjust? just tell me kasi hindi ako makapag aral ng maayos!" they kept silence before i heard james's voice! ugh, that jerk! what a nerve. "Galit ka nanaman miss, eto na tatapusin ko na, namiss mo naman ata agad ako" he teased. Yuck as if! "in your f*****g dream asshole!" i said before leaving the room. "Ahhhhhh! Bwisit ka james bakit ba kasi andito ka lagi!" I shouted enough for them to hear that. I Calmed myself once again before trying to focus on my readings. After that, luckily hindi naman na sila nagingay pa at nakapag concentrate na 'ko sa ginagawa ko. Around 8PM ng marinig ko ang tawag ni mommy para magdinner na, i closed my book and remove my specs. "Ugh just 1minute" i said to myself before lying down on my bed, it was exhausting! "Hey" it was my older brother, kuya cedric. "Hey" i answered, "Dinner's ready" he said before entering my room. "Yea, im going up na" i said before standing up and fixing my hair. "You still look pretty even though i know you're kinda stress" he chuckled while looking at me, "Not maybe because you guys are keeps bothering me, especially that guy! he's so irritating" i said. "As if di ka pa nasanay kay james haha, tara na wag ka magaalala umuwi na si james at may biglaang training" kuya cedric said, before leaving my room. After i ate dinner, bumalik na rin agad ako sa kwarto ko para ituloy ang memorization ko. Nakakapagod maging nursing student pero i need to endured it since i choose this course. I was in the middle of my readings when my phone buzz. I open my phone to check what's with the notification. James Pineda share a story "Exhausted, but still determined" qouted It was a photo of him wearing a white plain tshirt and a pair of sports shorts, he's like sweating but i'm not gonna deny to myself that's he still looks good-- wtf? go back to your senses aime! I was about to go back with my memorization when my phone suddenly beeps. James Pineda: heart pa nga haha xd I blinked twice before checking out of what he's talking about and, f**k! na heart ko nga! wait? when did i do that? i don't remember anything that i reacted on his story. Aime Vargas: Hey, wag kang feeling. It was an accident i don't even remember na nagreact ako sa story mo. James Pineda: Wag ka nang magalit misis ko eto na pauwi na, mwa Aime Vargas: what the f**k!??? feeler ka gago! Padabog kong hinagis ang phone ko sa kama, napaka hangin! I fixed myself before trying to focus on my readings. Past 2am ng makaramdam ako ng antok, so i decided na ituloy nalang bukas ang ginagawa ko. i closed my book and put it on my study table before i jumped on my bed. I woke up around 9am dahil sa ingay nanaman sa kabilang kwarto, ugh! eto ang mahirap sa pagkakaron ng mga kapatid na lalaki laging maingay at magulo dagdag pa ng tropa nila na kala mo dito na rin nakatira. I decided to fix myself before going to the dining area to take my breakfast. "Goodmorning, mommy" i said to my mom when i saw her in the kitchen making our breakfast, "Goodmorning baby, give me 5minutes to finish this one then we're ready to eat na" i just nodded, and sit on the dining table. "It's quite late for breakfast huh" i giggled when i realized that. "Yeah, Nasobrahan ata ako sa tulog" she answered, "No work for today mommy?" i suddenly asked when i noticed that she's not in a formal attire today. "Yes babe, i need to take some day off sometimes" she said as she put a bowl of fried rice in the table. I decided to help her to ready the table. "Aime honey, kulang ang plato. James is going to have a breakfast today with us" i furrowed my brows right away when i heard that assh*les 's name. "What? why?" i ask, my eye's followed mom as i noticed that she already got some plate for james. "Your tita isabel is on bussiness trip so i decided that maybe james can stay here for awhile, not until his mom's come home" she explained. "Why? He can't live alone? What a spoiled one" "I'm not spoiled, ayoko lang talaga ng magisa" i was a bit in shocked when i heard his voice, they're now on the dining. "As if i care" i just rolled my eyes before getting the juices in fridge. "So, you're graduating next year?" my mom asked james in the middle of our breakfast. "Yes tita. Tapos Board exam na" he answered. I am busy finishing my food, i can't stay with the same atmosphere with that guy. I just can't. When i finished my breakfast, i stand up to put my plate on the sink. "Im done, see you on lunch" i just cassually said before going up to my bedroom. It's now sunday at tapos na ang 1week vacation, bukas may pasok nanaman. I prepared my things for tommorrow's class, i checked if there's anything that i can possibly forget but luckily there's none. I jumped on my bed, and get my phone on the side table. I'm done with all my readings and school stuffs kaya confident akong magpetiks today. I scrolled down on my f*******: notification to get some update on my social media. James Pineda Updated his profile picture Casual photo lang, nakatalikod sya. It was a photo of him captured from behind. I remember where is this place, it's in bataan 2yrs ago. Ugh! Ayoko ng maalala yung mga oras na yun. To: Jessibabes <3 kairita! ugh. Jessi is my bestfriend, kahit naman siguro na introvert ako may right padin ako mag bestfriend. From: Jessibabes <3 Y? Andyan nanaman si mr. architect? To: Jessibabes <3 Uhm, wala nga eh! From: Jessibabes <3 Ohmygod! So you're feeling irritated kasi wala dyan si mr. architect na nakakainis? hahahaha omy! I stopped for like second when i read jessi's reply, f**k? why does it look like... somehow... true? From: Jessibabes <3 ops, may natigilan? totoo? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH To: Jessibabes <3 Hell no! mas maganda nga eh! Na hindi sya magpakita! Mas matatahimik buhay ko dito sa bahay. Totoo naman, mas okay na walang james na istorbo. Mas makakapagaral ako ng maayos. Walang maingay, walang magulo. It's now december. Naging mabilis lang ang takbo ng araw, wala namang bago na nangyayari, school bahay routine lang hindi naman kasi ako pala labas. I don't like party's and big crowds. Ibang iba sa dalawa kong kuya na daig pa ang celebrity dahil hindi nawawalan ng party na pupuntahan. "Aime, sama ka paskuhan tommorrow night ha!" Its jessi, kakatapos lang ng last class namin and we're good to go home, we're now walking in lover's lane. "Ah? I don't know, that's not my thing you know that" i said, while giving her a unassured smile. "Ehhh? dali na, explore yourself naman tih! Hindi puro school-bahay, at libro lang tumatakbo ang buhay mo, hindi ka naman babagsak agad pag nagenjoy ka minsan" Pagrereklamo ni jessi, habang nakahawak sa braso ko. "Kasama mo naman boyfriend mo, gagawin mo pa akong thirdwheel" When i got home, i found out that i am the only person here. Probably mom, take overtime again and my brother's ofcourse, party. Not new. I go straight to our kitchen to drink some water and find some sweets, i don't know these past few days i feel so stressed. Hindi naman ako nag cracrams sa school, wala din akong hinahabol na schoolworks even my readings are fine. As soon as i enter my room, i jumped on my bed. "Ugh, what's happening to me?" i whispered. I opened one of the chocolate that i just got from our fridge. "Why do i feel so lonely? *Phone beeps James Pineda Shared a photo Excited for this year's paskuhan! See you thomasians! #FeelingtagaustekaghorL -qouted It was just a photo of last year's paskuhan. I've never been there, this year is my second year in uste, pero never akong umattend ng mga ganitong program maliban nalang pag school related talaga. It's been 3months since pumunta sya dito sa bahay. Hindi rin naman kami nagkikita sa labas kasi magkaiba kami ng school. Pero bakit ko ba sya iniisip? Why do i care? And it's impossible na mamiss ko sya, duh! over my dead body. Around 8Pm ng matapos akong magshower, i noticed also that my brother's are already here, "Sweetie we got you pizza, c'mon let's eat dinner" It's kuya cedric. Kuya Cedric and kuya Yael are basically twins. Mas matanda lang si kuya cedric ng 5minutes, at mahahalata mo naman kasi mas mature kumilos tong si kuya cedric unlike kuya yael na easy go lucky. Where now here in the living room, eating pizza. They're having a beer also but for me coke is fine. I don't drink, and i don't even want to try. They're watching a replay from last year's uaap basketball. "Di'ba dyan nadislocate yung ankle ni james?" kuya yael said, "Oo dyan nga ata yun" Kuya cedric answered, I remember that day na halos wala akong tulog dahil kailangan ko syang bantayan sa ospital all day long since tita isabel are not always around, bussiness meetings and all work stuffs. Sila kuya naman ojt last year and my mom are also busy with her works. So i have no choice. "Ohhhhhh" napangiwi sila kuya ng tumumba na si james, i felt a bit hurt also even though tapos na yun. "Sht, siguro grabe sakit nun" it's kuya yael with pa matching hawak pa sa dibdib nya as if naman. "Arte mo gago!" kuya cedric said, he throw a pillow to kuya yael. "Hey stop, matapon yang beer nyo sa carpet. Mom will get mad" pagsasaway ko sakanila. "Yes master" they both answered. we watched the whole game even though, james is out of the game because of the accident. When the game ended they switched the channel to action movie, wala naman akong hilig sa panonood kaya i don't mind kung saan nila ipalipat lipat ang channel. I suddenly remember about the paskuhan tommorrow night, "Hey" i said to catch my brother's attention. "yes babe?" It's kuya cedric, "Are you guys going to paskuhan tommorrow night?" i normally asked. "oo naman! we can't missed that, last year na namin ngayon bilang thomasian" it's kuya yael now. "Why aime? Do you want to go?" Kuya cedric asked me while his eyes are still busy watching the movie. "Jessi asked me to go but... She's with her boyfriend. Ayokong maging thirdwheel, so maybe wag nalang" I said before taking a bite on my pizza. "Why? you should go, if you want you guys go with us nalang, para di ka maop sa magjowa. Kasama namin si james so we got you" kuya yael said with matching wink, what the f**k. It's 11Pm, we're done eating pizza. Mom's probably going home late again tonight. I was just lying down on my bed facing the ceiling on my bedroom, thinking if i should go to paskuhan or not. f**k, bakit ko naman pinoproblema ngayon yang paskuhan na yan, It's not even that important. I just scrolled down on my f*******: timeline, patay oras lang pampaantok narin. I suddenly saw a post from probably my brother's friends kasi naka tag sila and james. Alison Marquez: See you tom architect! Yael Gabriel Vargas: Yihaaa architect pa nga xd Jovi Domingo: Witwew, reunion na din ba ng feelings ituuuu??? Cedric Rafael Vargas: Hoy yael, Ang bantot ng utot mo gago!!! James Pineda: kalmahan nyo mga lodi ako lang 'to I furrowed my brows, biglang nagbago ang mood ko. Naiirita ako! Ugh, sino ba yang allison na yan? Her name sounds familliar! To: Jessibabes <3 Change of plan, i'm going. Don't reply, i'm going to sleep. After i sent a message to jessi, I shutdown my phone before i put it on my side table, i cover myself with my comforter before i closed my eyes. "How about this?" "or this?" "eh eto? okay lang kaya?" sunod sunod na tanong ko kay jessi, while showing her a different kinds of dresses in my hands, "Girl, paskuhan lang tayo pupunta. Casual attire lang sis! wag mo masyadong galingan" I sighed to myself before turning back my dresses to my closet, "I don't know what to wear?" i said before sitting next to jessi. "Don't pressure yourself too much, a simple shirt and shorts will do. Madadala na ng ganda mo yan hahaha" I pat her back before getting my phone to text my brother's na imeet kami sa may gazeebo mamaya. I stopped for a moment when i saw kuya yael's ig update. "The heart of the group, we missed you alison!" It was a group photo of them, alison and james are both in the middle, james' right hand is in alison's waist. I throw my phone because of my irritation. "Hey, what happened?" jessi asked, she looks confused because of what i did. "Nothing!" i said, before entering my bathroom. I decided to take a shower na ayoko din malate mamaya at baka sabihin pa ng friends nila kuya na masyado akong nagpapa vip. Around 7 Pm ng matapos ako sa pagaayos. I just wear a simple white tank top with a pair of denim shorts and partnered with my white balenciaga chunk shoes i'll finish my look with my small black shoulder bag. I let my long brown wavy hair down. Nag powder and liptint lang din ako. I texted jessi na i meet ako sa may coffee shop malapit sa uste. Bumaba na ako sa livingroom para magpaalam kay mommy, naabutan ko sya na nagssliced ng apple. "Look at my baby girl, you look gorgeous" salubong nya sakin ng mapansin akong papalapit sakanya. "Mommy, stop" I said before leaning on her to give her a kiss on cheeks, "I'm going na. I'll be with kuya's so don't worry, enjoy your day off iloveyou" i said before living the house. I waved my hands up para mapansin ni jessi kung nasaan ako. She's wearing a black loose shirt and bikers short and a pair of chunky shoes also. "Ohmygod! Twinning!" she said with excitement ng mapansing pareho nga halos kami ng suot, i just gave a small smile to jessi's boyfriend before leaving the coffee shop. As we reached the gazeebo nakita ko na agad sila kuya at si.. james. He's wearing a simple white shirt, a pair of shorts and sandals. Simple yet he still looks good-- what the f**k? the hell im thinking right now. "Ohhhhh-- long time no see aime, paganda tayo ng paganda. May mga manlili--" it's jovi, he suddenly stopped when kuya cedric cut him. "Titigilan mo kapatid ko o uuwi kang basag yang mukha mo" kuya cedric said, oh c'mon i know he's just joking. "Hi" it's james. Bigla akong nakaramdam ng init, my heart was also trembling with excitement and... nervous? ugh. Sht no! baka naninibago lang dahil ilang buwan din kaming di nagkita. "H-hello" i stutterred. Just act normal aime baka kung ano pa isipin nila kuya. "Hi aime" it's alison, bigla ko nanamang naramdaman yung pagkairita ko sakanya! "hello" i just casually said. Nag aya naman na sila jessi na pumunta na sa may stadium dahil baka mamaya mapunta pa kami sa likod. When we get there naguumpisa na ang mga banda sa pagtugtog, hindi pa ganun karami ang tao kaya napwesto pa kami sa may unahan.
