Chapter 10

I closed my eyes when I plugged in my earphones. We are finally going home. Ciro and his cousins went home earlier because of studies while us, Santiago stayed for a bit longer due to the waste that we left there.

After the incident, Kuya Tristan said sorry to me even if he didn't do anything. Kuya Tristan, Hazel and Nicole went home earlier too because of Kuya Tristan's schedule.

"Billie Eilish songs are heaven." Yuri yawned.

I let my eyes closed and the tiredness creeps my body. My shoulders and legs are totally hurt due to the swimming. My knees are hurt too because of shattered glasses yesterday.

I opened my phone and starts to browse on Instagram. Tomorrow is the first day of school, lucky us we have the same section.

"I'm excited for tomorrow!" Carylle giggled.

"You should give the best first impression." Kuya Mikko winked.

"Stop flirting in that school Yuri, hold your ass out. You need to study." Kzarina told Yuri.

"It's hard to study what you don't want." Yuri sighed.

I know deep inside him, he didn't want to be a doctor. I'm pissed at our family law, why do we need to become something we don't want for ourselves.

Isn't it lovely?~

All alone~

Hand me to glass my mind of stone~

Tear me to pieces, skin to bones~

Hello welcome home~

The last thing I knew was I'm sleeping in Yuri's shoulders and I fell asleep.

"Hey, Selena wake up. We are here."

I opened my eyes and saw Yuri saying something at me. I rubbed my eyes and looked around. We are at the mall.

"Why are we here?" I asked.

"Tomorrow is our first day. Need to but things for school duh." Carylle said.

I was out of my mind, I didn't know that tomorrow is our first day, gosh! Luckily I have my credit card with me to pay what I needed.

I fix myself before going out of the van. Yuri wore his favorite cap and smiled at me. I wonder who's he's escaping. Carylle grabbed my hand and dragged me to the National Bookstore. There's a lot of people in here, maybe they are going to buy stuffs too.

I went to the notebook section and starts to pick notebooks. They are all good but the notebooks with black color and simple text caught my attention. I love simple things, I don't like the one with bright colors or the one with expensive sheets. I just want everything simple.

"Watch this ballpen." Yuri shouted at me.

I walked towards him and saw some black, blue and red ballpens that is light for our hands and also a good ballpen. It cost 2 dollars, I'm going to buy some.

I put 10 notebooks, 7 ballpens, and 7 highlighters in my cart. I saw a little girl looking at the ballpen I bought.

"Mom, I want that too. It's beautiful." The little girl giggled.

"But it's expensive, mommy can't afford that." Her mother frowned.

I kneeled and looked at the little girl, her mother was shocked but I just smiled.

"Get some ballpens, go ahead." I said.

The little girl giggled and run towards the ballpen section, she's so cute.

"I'm sorry about my daughter, I'm going to pay that." The mother said.

"No mam, I insist. I'm going to pay for it, your daughter is so cute." I giggled.

"Thank you so much, I don't have much money to pay you but if ever you need someone to talk to I'm here for you." The mother smiled.

"I'm Rebeca Georgina." She smiled.

"I'm Selena Portia." I smiled back.

I saw the little girl walk towards us. She is holding only one ballpen and gave it to her mother.

"Why you only get one?" I asked.

"Because I know mommy's money is not enough. I'm happy with only one or nothing at all." The little girl smiled.

I get 6 more ballpens and gave it to her mother. I gave her mother 20 dollars.

"This is too much." Rebeca said giving me my money.

"That is even little compared to this girl good heart." I smiled.

"What are you going to say to Ate Selena?" Her mother said.

"Thank you so much Ate." The little girl smiled.

"You're always welcome baby." I smiled.

Yuri walked towards me when Rebeca walked away. He smiled and patted my head.

"You're so pure hearted." He smiled.

"And you're a big asshole." I laughed.

We finished buying stuffs that's why we went to Greenwich to eat. We love Greenwich so much.

"Don't bring lunch tomorrow, mom will cook for us." I smiled.

"Tita Carolina is the best." Carylle giggled.

"Dad will going to pick you up. 6:30 in the morning, don't be late." Yuri said.

We finished our food and went to the van to go home. I was tired even if I just went shopping.

I waved bye at my cousins and opened the door of our house. I saw my parents eating popcorn and watching a movie.

"How's your shopping?" My father asked.

"Everything went fine, I shop a lot and I'm not so ready for school tomorrow." I sighed.

"You can do it sweetie, fix your things for tomorrow."

I nodded and walk towards my bedroom. Yes! The smell of my bedroom is life.

I was about to fix my school things when I saw the large box that the girl delivered yesterday. Ciro's gift for me. I get my scissors and starts to opened it.

The box is full of chocolates and letters. I wonder if this letters is his handwritten.

I picked the envelope with the "number 1" in it.

Hi,

It's me, your big brat. If ever you miss me I want you to read my letters every day. This is good for a year. I started to do this the first time I saw you. You whipped me so much. This is for today June 2, 2012. Happy 17th birthday baby girl. One year and you're at your legal age already. Can I marry you that time?

The letter ends there. I smiled when I saw the question, is that really serious?

I opened another letter, it's for today. June 3, 2012.

Hey, You miss me huh? Well don't cheat ok? You need to open the letter every day and not today only.

I'll be willing to be with you, to love you Even if it will not be a smooth sail But for you I will I'll be willing to face the doubts and challenges If it's you I'll end up with I'll be willing I closed the letter and took a picture of it. I edited it and post it on my Instagram story with a caption "we will have a smooth sail big brat."

I put my phone on my side table and put my school things on the floor. I get my bag and starts to put everything in there when my phone rang. I answered it when I saw that it's Ciro.

"Hey baby girl. You never texted me." He said looking pissed.

"I forgot." I laughed.

"But you didn't forget to post an Instagram story." He smirked.

I get my notebook and put it on the camera.

"Look at this, isn't it cute?" I giggled.

"Yes, but you're the cutest." He chuckled.

"Do some vlog while I'm reading books."

"But it will disturb you." I said.

"You make me calm." He said.

I started to hall the things that I bought. It was too many, if I'm Ciro I would be asleep by now.

"And here is the last thing. ID holder!" I said.

"Your ball-point pen cost too much, didn't it?" He laughed.

"Yeh, I'm broke." I joked.

"I'll send you money." He said seriously.

"What are you? A sugar daddy?" I laughed.

"Not sugar, just daddy." He laughed too.

We laughed and tease each other. I miss him, I miss being with him even if we just saw each other yesterday.

"What ya doing?" I asked.

"I'm reading books. I need to read all of them." He showed me his table.

It has a lot of papers and books. I wonder if he can sleep.

"It's messy, clean your stuffs." I said.

"Later, when I'm finished." He said.

"Do you eat the chocolate in there?" He said.

"Nah, it's too many." I protested.

"Because it's for a year baby girl." Ge laughed.

"If ever you're feeling down or sad, eat chocolate it helps." He said.

"They are going to melt here."

"I'll buy you a mini fridge when I got home."

"You are spoiling me too much." I said.

"Spoiling my baby is worth it." He shrugged his shoulders.

"I'm sleepy." I yawned.

"Let's sleep, I'll just fix this." He smiled.

I watched him fix his things, he's fast because of his big hands. He locked the doors and went to his room. Maybe Liam is already asleep.

He lay down in bed and turned on his lamp shade. I jumped on my bed and turned my lamp shade on too.

"Don't forget to pray before you sleep." I said.

"Yes, you too." He smiled.

"Goodnight, sleep tight." I said.

"Goodnight, sweet dreams. Goodluck to your first day. Don't look for handsome because I'm the most handsome person you'll ever meet." He laughed.

"I'm not going to find someone, I'm already contented with my big brat." I smiled.

"That's good. Let's sleep. I love you." He yawned.

"I love you too."
