Chapter 35
"Miss Alys, your mom is asking you to come down.."
I stood up from my bed. Why did mommy make me get off?
As I walked, I was nervous. Mommy's face was so serious.. and daddy's too!! Come on! Daddy's serious face is only sometimes. What did I do wrong? T^T
"M-mommy?"
"Sit."
*gulp*
I sat on the sofa.
What did I do??
"What do you want to happen, Alys?" tanong ni mommy.
"What?"
Mommy seemed to be holding back her irritation, so daddy grabbed her by the shoulder, "Calm down, babe. I'll be the one talking about this."
Mommy left and went to the kitchen. Maybe I'll get a drink. Mommy's high blood pressure, huh!!
"Daddy?"
Daddy sighed too. WHAT DID I DO WRONG TO MAKE THEM Sigh??
Daddy walked over to the grand piano and then took out an envelope.
"Yes, for that?"
"Notification letter from St. Claire's. You didn't pass.."
"I know.." I told Daddy. Why would I lie? I half expected that I wouldn't pass. I barely answered anything on the exam..
"What are we going to do now? I almost begged your mom last night because she almost reserved your ticket."
ARE YOU SERIOUSLY MOMMY??
"W-You're sending me to Nana?"
"Because, Alys. Look, we just let you go even though your grades were terrible since you were in high school because you said you wanted to go to regular school. You were better off when you were home schooled. But because you wanted school, your mom and I let you go. All we wanted was good grades. You've already exhausted your mom's patience.."
I couldn't help it, my tears were already flowing, "Daddy.. please don't send me to the States.."
"Talk to your mommy," said daddy. Huhuhu. How am I going to talk to mommy?? "Scare her, tell her you're going to run away."
"Tell him you'll take me with you so we can go to Dane's States, then tell him to leave you alone here. Just scare him, he'll agree."
"Really??"
"Yes, quickly. Tell Dane to go home. Huh?"
"Say say!"
That's why I love daddy so much!!
I went to the kitchen because mom was still there.
*gulp*
"Mommy.."
Mommy just looked at me but I felt like running away.
Why is she looking at me like that??
"I-I'll just enroll in Brent.."
"No. I already filed your application in NYU."
"Mommy!!"
"Don't mommy me, Alys! I told you a million times before that i'll ship you to the States once you failed your entrance exam in SCA."
"It's difficult, isn't it.."
"It's not hard. Aya passed."
Did Aya pass??
Nagsalita si mom, "see? You're the only one who failed, Alys. You disappoint me so much."
"S-sorry po.."
I told mommy. I really tried to study. What can I do, my brain is only capable of that? I know mommy and dad are smart, do I know why I'm so slow? Is this my choice? Did they think it would be fun to be told off by a noob?
No, no!
Mom sighed and then hugged me when she saw that I was crying.
"I-i'm sorry, Alys. It's just that.. i have so many dreams for you. Don't let me down.."
"S-sorry, mommy.."
"Stop saying sorry and prove me wrong. You're your dad's daughter, Alys. Do you know that your dad is so smart that he's just stupid when it comes to love? Look, he fell for Liana."
"Mommy... Aunt Liana doesn't do anything to you."
"Whatever. My point is, follow your dad's footsteps. I know you're brillant, Alys. Show us."
"Well, mommy.. What am I going to do at NYU? The course I want isn't there.."
"Why? I thought you like Advertising?"
I shook my head.
"What do you want, then?"
"Baking. Please, please, mommy. I'm just at Brent. Just one semester. If my grades aren't good, you'll send me to NYU for LBC. Please, mommy? This one chance.
Please?"
"Fine. One semester."
I hugged mommy.
"Mommy, you're the best!"
"Better than Liana?"
"The best-est of them all. I love you!!"
-Yes-
"Hey, come down here, son-in-law is here!!"
KL is here again. He just got here yesterday, is he here again today?
"Bee!!" he said as I came down the stairs and he was holding an envelope in his hand.
"What is that?"
"Admission letter to SCA. Where is yours??"
Hehehe. This is just one time. Let's fool KL.
"Huh? I didn't receive anything."
"WHAT? Now it's time to distribute the letters. Maybe it's just late."
"Nothing, Kent. You know I didn't pass."
He sat down and you thought he had lost. KL is really so OA sometimes!
"What's that, Bee? I'm not ready for a long distance relationship!"
I shot back, "This is OA! SCA and Brent are almost touching. What if I'm choking you??"
"Of course I want us to go to the same school!"
Let's test how much this little land loves me.
"Well, aren't you from Brent?"
"Yes, Bee. I've been thinking about that too."
"Seriously??"
He nodded, "Yes, of course. I'm just thinking of tactics on how I'll say goodbye to my parents. They might have a heart attack if they find out I'm not in SCA."
Aya, why are you so mean? You've been trying to trip Kent for a while now.
"Uhmm, Kent?"
"Hmm?"
I stepped back then picked up the envelope that was on the coffee table and showed it to him.
"What is this?" he said then opened it, "You're welcome, Bee!!"
"I know, I was just kidding you earlier," I said and then got ready to run because he was going to chase me!!
"You're so mean!! You played with my feelings!!" then he chased me because I ran.
"You're so gullible!!"
We chased each other. I left the house because we might break something. We were in the garden. Huhu. I'm tired!!
"Bee, don't run!" Kent said as he chased after me.
"I don't want to! You're chasing me!!"
"Don't run! I'll hug you!!"
"Bee, can I hug you?"
>////<
"WHY ARE YOU STILL ASKING??"
Kent scratched his head, "Well, maybe you'll push me away. You still have violent tendencies."
"This is Lesheng. He's hugging me. He knows a lot!"
He hugged me and then whispered, "It's good that we're not in an LDR. I can't live a day without you by my side."
I shot back, "Another line you're trying too hard for, Kent. I'll break you!!"
-Eydee-
Drake was currently fixing something when he heard a buzz. He approached the monitor and saw his dad on the screen. *0*
He opened the door very bored, "what?"
Uncle Steve came in and caught his eye at Drake's unit. He hadn't seen Drake for two weeks. Of course, it's also fashionable to miss your son!
"That's why your credit card bills are so big," said Uncle Steve when he saw Drake's stuff. It's all high end!
"Shh" Drake said What did his daddy need from him? It's impossible for him to go there just to say that he paid a lot on the credit card, right?
Uncle Steve sat on Drake's cushioned pillow.
"Why are you here?"
Uncle Steve pulled out two envelopes, "choose one."
Drake rolled his eyes and then pointed to the one on the left.
Uncle Steve opened it and said, "Your brother."
Drake took Katrina's ultrasound.
"Two months pregnant si Katrina."
Drake just shrugged,"congrats."
"One last time, Drake. Are you sure I'm the father?"
He looked at Steve carefully.
"Listen for the last time, dad. I am not the father. If she has any other affair, i don't have any idea and i honestly don't care anymore."
You're a Tito Steve.
"Thanks, son."
"Tss."
"Oh, by the way, here's your admission letter to St. Claire's Academy."
Uncle Steve gave Drake the letter, "since your mom's will states that once you go to college you will have access to your trust fund, we will go to the family lawyer next week for discussions and finality."
Drake just shrugged. He didn't care about his trust fund. As long as he could eat and study, he was fine.
"But I hope even if you have money, you don't leave me."
"You're so gay."
"Son... I'm sorry. I miss your grumpiness at home."
"Tss."
"Can I sleep over here?"
Drake shook his head.
"Why?? I bought it with my own money!!"
"I'll pay you back."
"Just a joke!! Go ahead, sleep tight."
"You're creening me out"
"Okay, son. I really missed you, I promise!"
Nag roll eyes si Drake, "Alys will stop by later. You can't sleep here."
Uncle Steve's eyes twinkled, "Alys is coming here??"
Drake nodded.
"You, son, ha.. Even though you already have a trust fund, don't think about starting a family right away. Tsk. Andy's legacy says he'll castrate you if you go past second base!"
Drake's eyebrows rose, "you know Uncle Andy?"
"Of course, son! Of course, future in-laws should be known!"
"Tss."
"Okay, I'm leaving," said Uncle Steve, "by the way, your new car is in the parking garage. Thank you Alys, and the other day she was pestering me to buy you a car. She said she got tired of walking when you left. Tsk. Alys is so cute that I couldn't resist!"
Nag tsk si Drake, "Don't you look at her when she's being cute and all. It's only for me to see."
-Here-
"You passed too, Kei. Will you study here, please?"
I shook my head, "maybe this is the furthest we can go, Sheen. At least i expeienced how if feels to love and be loved."
"Are you really leaving?"
I nodded.
"I'll be back maybe after 5 years? I don't know. Let's end this today."
Sheen's on the verge of crying again. I hate this. Tsk.
"Don't cry because i'll be gleaving, smile because i'll be returning."
Sheen held my face and looked straight into my eyes, "babalik ka. Hihintayin kita. Let's seal it with a kiss," he said as he leant nearer. I closed my eyes because i know, this maybe the last time. I don't have a hold of what the future might bring me. I'll just enjoy the ride and see where it'll lead me..
"I'll come back, that's for sure. But if it happens that you fell for somebody else, don't hold back at my expense. Fall in love, Sheen. It's the prettiest thing in the world."
Sheen shook his head, "You're the only one I want."
I shrugged, "i don't know about that. I frankly see you falling for either Aya or Alys. I don't know, Sheen. Just.. don't feel responsible for me, alright? Enjoy."
-Eydee-
And just as it happened, Alys went to Drake.
Alys's face was so happy because she and her mom had already talked about going to Brent! Too bad she didn't use Andy's tactics. Bwahaha!
*entering 1131 code*
"Drake?"
Drake walked around. Drake's condo is also quite spacious so they can catch up.
He couldn't see Drake so he lay down on Drake's bed when he noticed Drake's admission letter.
"LDR? What is that.."
Alys was rolling around in Drake's bed when Drake arrived. He was test driving his new car courtesy of Tito Steve's money and Alys' persistence!
Drake is getting weird with Alys again because she's like a little girl rolling around in her bed.
"You're already there!" Alys said, sitting on the bed.
"Obviously."
Drake noticed that Alys was holding her admission letter.
"Did you fail?"
"That's a terrible question! Can't you just pass?"
"Alys and passing can't be used together in a sentence."
"Tss. You've been like this forever."
Nag shrug lang si Drake, "why are you here?"
"Nothing. Is it bad to hang out??"
"Yes. Especially when you're dirtying the place."
"OC!"
Drake ignored him and went to the kitchen and got alkaline water. Tss. Health buff! Hahaha!
"Drake.."
"What?"
"I'm going to study at Brent.."
"I know."
"Why do you know?"
"Because you're a noob."
"This is terrible. Not only did I not pass, I'm already a noob!"
Drake sat on the edge of his bed, "why? You're a noob."
"I know. Don't remind me, okay?? It's not fun to be told off by a fool all the time!"
"Fine, then you'll be my noob."
:D
off by a fool all the time!"
"Fine, then you'll be my noob."
Alys buffered a bit.
"Your noob?"
"My noob. Mine and mine alone."
Alys spoke, "tss. No effect. I'm not thrilled!"
Drake laughed at Alys' face.
"How about this?" Drake said then he approached Alys and touched her face, "I've been dying to kiss you."
Then he kissed Alys. OMGGGGGGGGG.
*First kiss effect with matching pag curl ng toes and butterflies in the stomach*
"Since i'm your last first kiss, i'll hold myself responsible for you."
