SIX.When I went inside the house, I smiled. I don’t know. But I
smiled.
I climbed the stairs and went to my bed. I lay there and thought about what happened. Then I smiled,
AGAIN. I stared at the ceiling, I tried to stay awake, but I couldn’t. I just felt that my eyes were getting heavy, and then I drifted to sleep.
XOXO
“Boogs.” *poke*
“Boogs… Boooogs…” *poke*
“BOOGER!!!”I opened my eyes.
“What?!!”My brother looked at me in an annoying way.
“It’s dinner time!
Faye’s here.” He stood up then grabbed my arm, and dragged me across the bed.
“GAAAAAAAAAH!!!”I stood up, then I fixed myself.
“Imma kill you!” I ran after him, but he was too fast for me. When we reached the bottom floor, my feet were aching. I saw Ate Faye holding two big plastic bags.
“Ate Faye!” I ran to her and hugged her. She kissed me on the forehead. I looked at her, and she smiled.
“Never ever ever break up with my brother, ‘mkay?”She laughed, and patted my head.
“Mkay.”She has been my big sister ever since
Kyle my brother introduced her,
Falliah Beatrice Alliano, to us. They were still in their sophomore years, but our parents allowed their relationship. Now they’re in their junior years, and I’m still close with her.
I looked at the plastic bag that she was holding. It was from KFC. It had a big bucket inside it, and the rest follows.
“Why did you order for takeout?” I looked at her curiously.
“Uhm… Ahh…” She had a hard time telling me the reason behind the bags. But I figured it out.
“They aren’t eating here, right?” I was used to this. My parents promise to be back by this time, or promise to be home, but they seldom fulfill them.
“I’m sorry Jeanne.” She hugged me, and pinched my cheeks.
“Anyway…” We started walking to the dining room. She gave the plastic bags to Krissa, then we sat down.
“Kyle told me you had a fever.”“It wasn’t really a fever.” I smiled.
“I just felt hot.”“Oh, so now you’re okay?” I nodded. She lifted her hand and placed it on my forehead.
“You aren’t even close to hot.” Then she laughed.
“Told you so.”
“Hey! You folks go first. I want to take a shower!” My brother shouted from upstairs.
“You retard!…” Yup, that’s where I got the word retard.
“…Why take a shower now?!
We’re hungry!” “That’s why you go first!” 
He has a point Ate Faye.
“No! We’ll wait for you! I have to ask Ate Faye something.” Then Ate Fayed eyed me suspiciously.
“Spill it.” I smiled.
“It’s not that serious. It’s just that… I know you’ve been involved in school plays, right?”“Yes. And?”“There’s this audition piece that I want you to help me with.” She smiled at me, then she let me tell her about the piece. I told her that it was a short piece, involving a
desperate girl, pleading her
‘love’ to not leave her. Why leave the girl, you might ask? Their relationship involved a third party with another girl. The real girlfriend of the guy.
I’m telling you,
IT’S HARD TO PULL THIS OFF!
“So… What do you think?” I grinned. Then she laughed.
“Wow Jeanne, that’s a hard role.”I rolled my eyes.
“I know.”“Well…” She tried to find the right words to say to me.
“Jeanne, have you ever been dumped?”Ouch.XOXO
I couldn’t really concentrate on eating. Ate Faye’s words echoed through my head.
“Uhh… No.” Yes. I lied. My relationship with Dennis was never legal. He was my first, as I was his. We were afraid to tell our parents about our relationship.
“Well, It’s hard, since… In Theatre, it’s easier if you’ve experienced a certain situation before performing it. So that you have a feel of the emotions that play around the role.” After eating half of my food, I excused myself to go to bed since I was already tired. They allowed me to go upstairs to rest. Kyle also needed to bring Ate Faye home.
I checked my cellphone before changing into my pj’s.

I closed my eyes and prayed to have a good night’s rest.
I’m having a big day tomorrow.XOXO
The bell rang, and Krissa went to get it. Obviously, it was Dom. He waved to the car outside, before stepping inside our house. I told Krissa that she could leave us, and we sat on the sofa. He had his script in his hand, cellphone in the other. We had the same unit, N 5610.
“Who were you waving to?”“The driver.” Oh.
“You aren’t allowed to commute?”“Nope.” He shook his head.
“Same here.” He smiled, then he put his CP on top of the table.
“Your house is so… Quiet.”“Haha. I get that comment a lot.” He smiled, again. He loves to smile, doesn’t he?
“Don’t you have any siblings?”“An older one, but he’s not here.”“Where are your parents?”I rolled my eyes, and crossed my legs.
“Meetings.”“I understand.” He scoffed and stood up.
“Let’s do this.”“O… kay.” I wasn’t really sure if I could pull this off.
“Did you practice?
” I nodded.
“Then let’s do this.”We stood infront of the mirror near the stairs. We had enough space, and he turned his back from me.
“Ready?”“Uhm-hm.”“Let’s roll.” 
I want to hit his head bad. Haha.
I inhaled, then exhaled. I faced him, while he had his back turned from me.
“Bryan… W-Why?” I tried to sound as sad as I possibly could. He turned his head to look at me.
He looked at me, he had this expression that I couldn’t explain. He looked a lot like…
Dennis.
“It’s… I-It’s never going to work.” I was about to smile, but I forced myself to look teary eyed.
I hugged him from behind. I never knew that tears fell from my eyes.
“I love you Bryan!”“Ana, stop it.” He held my hands.
“I can’t… I-I can’t do t-this anymore!”I tightened my grasp.
“Leave her! L-Leave her for me!” His grasp also tightened.
“You love me, d-do-n’t you?!”“I, I…” He shook his head in confusion.
“You love me, DON’T YOU?!” This time, I was really crying.
“I, ah-I, I…” He let go of me.
“I don’t.” Then he walked away.
After a short while, we both broke into laughter. I tried to wipe my tears, but it was flowing, since I also cried while laughing.

Haha.
Dom came close to me, then he wiped my tears using his fingers while laughing.
He pinched my cheeks…
“C’mon… I’m buying you ice cream.” 
kamusta naman? 
hehehehehe. XD
