I was awakened when I felt someone shaking my bed as if they were remaking an earthquake scenario.
"aghhhh just five more minutes please Donny!" I whined at him.
"as much as I love you and want to give you your happy time with your bed, you need to get up or you'll be late for school" he said acting like a mother but surely not like my mom. I did not bother myself to listen to him, instead I just deep my head in my lovely pillow trying to get my sleep back. As I was near my sleep and happiness he said something that made me freeze.
"Jhozelyn Maye Sarmiento! get your butt up this instant and ready yourself for school before I get Ethan in here." he blackmailed.
"alright I’m up geez Donny no need to call him." I instantly replied while tossing my blanket aside to enable myself to stand up. The moment I entered my bathroom, I heard Donny's fading footsteps and laughter. Shaking my head with annoyance, I started to take a shower.
Donny or Brandon Carter is my best friend, his the only one I trust in this world beside my cousin Ethan and Uncle Evan. I love them both so much but when it is Monday morning and they are ruining my sleep I hate them. I mean while Donny is the irritating one and bubbly, Ethan is the short tempered one, he won't care if I want to get up he'll just simply barge in my room, pick me up and put me in the shower, seriously what a lovely cousin he is.
I am 17 years old now, two years since the tragedy I was in. I am also in senior high-school now and was home-schooled while I am attending counseling session with my psychiatrist . I currently live with my Uncle Evan and his son Ethan as they have adopted me. They are a lovable family, with them I learned to smile again.
For a whole year I become devastated with what happened to me and was diagnosed with PTSD and Depression. However with the help of Mrs. Beth, the psychiatrist who is helping me to recover from my trauma and pain, I was able to recover not fully but enough for me to continue living.
"hurry up Zel you've been in there for half an hour now!" shout Ethan from downstairs. Seriously that cousin of mine has no patience.
I got dress in a simple v-neck gray shirt and pants together with a white Sneakers while letting my long black hair to naturally fall on my back. I am not a girly girl but I am not also boyish just an average. After dressing up I grab my bag and got downstairs.
"good morning guys!" I greeted my uncle, Ethan and Donny who are already eating breakfast as I grab my own breakfast.
" finally! I thought you'll never finished." whine Ethan.
"you know what bro? you really need to learn the word patience" i said still munching on my food.
"and you need to learn to use your alarm clock, let's go!" he said grabbing his bag together with Donny.
We said are byes to my uncle, hop in the car and go in the road towards school, oh i forgot its the first day of school, in short it is my first day confronting other people.
Earlier I was irritated to the both of them who are in front of me. But now I am hyper-ventilating and the worse of it I think I'll have a panic attack.
I did not even realise we are already in school until Donny realise my situation and come in the back with Ethan, both looking worried.
"hey, zel you'll be alright breath okay just breath" says Donny trying to calm me down while Ethan came to my side and pull me in a hug, whenever I am having panic attacks it is only him who can calm me down.
"ssh ssh now zelly, calm down alright I am here, your Donny is here we won't leave your side okay we even requested to have the same class with you. come on zelly breath you'll be fine I swear." he said to me while hugging me and stroking my hair. With those action and his words I finally calmed down.
"you alright now?" Ethan asked looking at me with Donny behind him.
"yes I am fine sorry." I said looking down
"hey, its alright come on" he said pulling my chin up then grabbing me towards school.
And that's how we entered the school me in the middle of them while Donny has his arms around my shoulder.
Donny and Ethan are both popular in this school, I mean why won't they be? Donny has a tan and muscular body who is 6'1'' feet tall with brown eyes and messy hair while Ethan is 6'2'' feet tall, pale white skinned, toned body and a messy hair.
I know that they can protect me but honestly I don't want protection. Two years of weakness is enough for me. The two of them might be popular but they are not like those guys I watched on TVs, they don't bully or anything they don't even go with those cheerleaders and jocks who think they own the school. Donny is the bubbly type, he is fun, he loves to joke and he is talkative while Ethan is the serious type they will always treat you good but they are also someone you won't want to mess with cause they can get scary and I mean really scary, when they are mad.
As we walk inside I already see all the glare of girls and stares of the guys, they must be trying to figure out who I am and the hatred glares of the girls? well it must be from the envy or jealousy they feel as they saw me walk with the two hottest guys in their school. Of course, that will be aside from their other friend who I still don't know. I heard that he is known to be the hottest in the three of them- in short the hottest in our school, and to make it even worse, Donny's arm is in my shoulder.
What a great way to start my highschool after all my tragedy right?
