“Kringgg.....kringg....”

Is that my alarm? Oh, god its already 5:30. I get up as soon as possible and went to the bathroom.
I washed my body, my face and i brushed my teeth. As I was going downstairs, there’s this tall
frame waiting for me in the stairs.

“Hey Reizel, let’s go down and get some breakfast before going to school” said a smiling Denver.
He’s a smart good looking guy. He’s my elder brother and he is sweet as everyone else. I love him
but we often quarrel.

“What’s with you? Why are you so smiley today?” I said.

“I got accepted at the school’s basketball team.” He said. I knew he was that good to get in and
have a scholarship ever since.

“That’s great!”

As soon as we reached the dining table, my mom, Lorna and dad, Jared were already waiting for
us.

“You two are so slow, you are going to be late for school.” Mom said.

“Im going to fetch them to school, love.” Dad said. These two are very sweet. I’m just so proud to
have them as my parents. Mom is very grumpy as always while my dad is very sweet just like my
brother.

After we ate, we rode the car all together and let daddy fetch us to our destinations.

As we get near to our school, I always get the feeling of scare, excitement and nervousness. As
soon as I got off the car, I was greeted by my friends. I already lost Denver. That guy really.

We were walking down the corridor and then we saw the group of mean girls. Oh I’m dead, what
a way to start my morning.

“Reizel! How are you?” with a smirk on her face. I hate this girl. Her name is Marie. She always
stresses me out. Im not scared of her but she always goes beyond the limits.
“What do you need?” I asked. “Nothing, just answers to the exam.” She said. “Learn it yourself.”
I backfired. “Oh you really are trying me.” She said as she grabbed my hair. “Ouch! Don’t touch
me! You need something from me I wont give it you, you’re so sick. Yuck!” As I said that, I
removed her hand and walk inside our room for the discussion.

“Reizel.” my teacher called me.

“Yes ms?” I answered.
“What happened between you and Marie?”
“She attacked me first, and she was asking me for the examination answers.”
“Did she really asked you that?”
“Yes.”
“Thank you for your honesty.”

Ms. Green really understands me really well. She’s my teacher-best friend here in school. Also
she’s my very best teacher here in our school, she teaches Science. I love science.

As soon as the bell rung, I got up to my seat and go as fast as I can to the canteen with my friends
along with Kuya and his friends. Having lunch with them is my daily routine. Most of the students
call our table “Jack of all trades”. Most of the students here are verified topnotcher and are athletes
of the school varsity.

You can say I just got here, I feel like i’m out of place but my big brother always let me know that
I am the same pace with them.

The lunch was tiring because of the laughter and gossips about something. After that we got back
to our classrooms. It our PE time, we were on the gym doing our thing like dancing, etc. It ended
as soon as the time went off. That was our last subject. Its time for me to go home. Yay!

I went to the basketball court to see my big brother. He really was a good basketball player. I didn’t
wait for him and I just went outside to see my dad waiting for me.

“Sweetie!” He greeted.
“Hey dad!” I kissed his cheek and hop inside the car.
“Where’s mom?” I asked. “Were going to come and get her now.”

“What about kuya?”

“I already gave him his transport allowance, I will not be able to fetch him later because I have
something to do.”
“Hmm okay... Can you drop me off at national bookstore? I have to buy something.”

We arrived at national bookstore. “I’ll be back before 7 at the house. Ill just text kuya, so we can
go home together.”

“Okay baby, take care!” He said.

I saw someone familiar, its Cqeana. What is she doing here? Could this day could get any better.
I hide anywhere where I could but she saw me and immediately go to me.

“Hey you little skunk.” She throws her bottle at me. How dare she? But I need to stay calm and
come to my senses. “I’m sorry.” I said, to not further address the situation.

“What are you doing here? Weren’t you allowed to go out?”

“I have something to buy for school.” I said as my palm sweat a lot. I hope she just let this all go
away.

“Hmm okay... Bye.. Hey, look i’m sorry. For everything that we have done to you, Me and Marie.
We really aren’t targeting you. We just wanted to get close to you because of your brother.”

Oh pathetic, then why are they bullying me? Many thoughts run through my mind but I decided to
shrug it off and said that I was okay and they should not be doing those things.

I bought the things I needed for tomorrow’s class like illustration board, cause we will be having
our spoken woken poetry in school and we will be doing some placards to let them know what we
wanted to convey.

I chatted my brother on messenger and waited for him in Starbucks. I usually order my go to
drink and just look outside the store and manage my thoughts. What will I be 1doing for college?
What will be my dinner for tonight? What will be my brother’s future? These things always
comes into my mind. I usually think of these things, they randomly come into my mind. When
these things comes randomly I always think that I have my brother, my dad and my mom to
always help me in deciding for such things.

Families are always there for you, even when you turn your back to them and what kind of
wrong doing you do to them, you will always go back to them and love them endlessly.

I zoomed out as soon as I saw my brother at the counter ordering his drink while waving at me,
saying “Let’s go home”. When we arrived home, we greeted our mom and dad and ask them
how well did their day go. That’s how my daily routine works.
