[b]Chapter 23[/b]
[u][i]Paige’s POV[/i][/u]
*yawn* Ano ba ung ingay na iyon? Bumaba ako sa hagdanan at Dani? Bakit siya umiiyak?
“Hey Dani! Why are you crying?” tinanong ko habang yinayakap siya.
“Dani! Let’s go!” Tumingin ako sa likod ko, aixt si Denver.
“Bakit nakalabas bags niyo? At bakit nakaporma kayong parang aalis?” sabi ko na naiiyak na
Den just call me stupid but don’t leave me. I don’t want to be alone.
“Were going to Dad’s my twin is there and maybe your sister will arrive any minute now. I guess 2 months is over.” He said like he don’t care, emotionless! He is acting like...like before! I just hugged Dani and kissed him in the forehead.
“Be good and figure out what’s making your brother a crack pot. Okay?” I said while patting his head. “I’ll miss you Dani!”
“I’ll miss you too Paige.” He said then ran to his brother’s side. I was on the door when Kara arrived. Argh! I want to tore her apart! Wait! She stop at Denver smiling while Denver was angry? They left then Kara approached me.
“Hey Paige! Seems like you’re left alone.” Duh?! Isn’t it obvious? Or you’re just rubbing it?
“Kara umalis ka na!” I shouted at her.
“Knock-knock girl, no understand a thing you just said!” Oh yea. Spanish and English only for her. Who cares? I just shut the door right on her pretty face, I mean that literally. I saw her leaving and her nose is red. That was the best thing I did to her. Naiwan nanaman ako! Oh men! I hate the word ‘ALONE’ I called my sister, para tanungin kung ano na?!
[quote]”Syd!?”
“Why so angry?”
“I’m alone here!”
“Why? Where Den-Den go?”
“Will you stop asking and stop eating whatever you’re eating?!”
“Sorry, can’t help the delicious scent of lasagna and you know it is my fave-“
“Syd! We are not talking about food!”
“Fine, fine, you are so harsh!”
“So when are you coming home?”
“I’m in Germany!”
“Germany?!”
“yea, my friends dragged me here.”
“So I’m really alone?”
“How about mom and dad’s?”
“It’s in north and my school is very far away plus they will make me use skirts!”
“How about Uncle Jorge just a 1-hour trip and you could use the bus.”
“Now that is an idea I could use!”[/quote]
I put down the phone. Maybe I’ll go tomorrow. Uncle Jorge will do anything for me. I’m spoiled whenit comes to him
Pumunta muna ako sa park wwalang magawa eh
“If your day starts bad it couldn’t be worse, right?” I said to myself while eating ice cream...then the rain just fell.
“I spoke too soon” Haixt, nice timing rain! Very nice timing! Well since basa na ako naglaro nalang ako sa ulan. Since malakas naman resistensya ko, walang problema na magkakasakit ako.
“Ang mature na si Paige, naglalaro din pala sa ulan.” I looked up where the voice is coming from...
“Keith!” I said then run to the tree house where he is.
“Oh! Dahan-dahan sa pag-akyat.”
“Opo.” Nang nakaakyat na ako ‘wow!’ Yun lang ang lumabas sa bunganga ko! Ang nakasabit sa ceiling different kinds of toy planes tapos paint niya parang splat lang pero ang ganda ng combination of colors and of course his artworks was in one side of the wall, talk about an artist’s tree house.
“Bakit? Pangit ba?” tanong niya na nakasimangot.
“Pangit? Are you crazy? Pinakamagandang tree house na nakita ko in my entire life!”
“Whoa
flattered ata ako.”
“You should be.”
“Bakit naman?
” loko-loko talaga ‘to.
“Hayaan mo na sa tingin ko naman hindi ka na maflaflatter sa compliment ko kasi maraming mas professional na nagcocompliment sa iyo.” sabi ko na parang nagtatampo.
“Aixt nagtatampo ung favourite girl ko? Syempre loko lang un. Wala akong pake sa mga professionals na nagcocompliment sa akin ang importante compliment mo.” Grabe nakisakay si Keith.
“Nanbola pa ang loko-loko.” nagtinginan lang kami tapos nagtawanan. First time kong makakwentuhan si Keith ng ganito. An tagal na naming nag-uusap almost a hour na ata tapos may bigla siyang tinanong.
“So you are alone?” he said in a serious tone. His expression was like I knew this would happen but I don’t bother that expression.
“Yea. I’m alone.” I answered simply.
“Do you know why he left?”
“No. I don’t, do you?”
“He has a big reason to leave an extremely beautiful and extraordinary girl like you.”
sa totoo lang namula ako doon pero tinawa ko nalang.
“You really have the way with girls.” he just smiled at me and ask me if I want to head home since the rain already ceased. Of course ‘OO’ ang sagot! Ayun tawanan pa rin sa kalasada habang naglalakad and oh! nakapalit nap ala ako ng damit kasi si Keith may cousin na girl pero at note this I’m the second girl in that tree house. I mean what is with her cousin that is not present with his other cousins? Ah nevermind. I got to admit gentleman siya. No doubt na marami ang may gusto sa kanya. Package deal si Keith- guwapo/gentleman/talented/funny- o? san ka pa? Ai, nandito na pala kami. He waved goodbye at pumasok na kami sa kanya-kanya naming bahay.
I lay down my bed. There is something I can’t remember about Uncle Jorge and it is bothering me so much...
[b][i]I can’t remember Uncle Jorge’s surname...[/i][/b]
