It feels like yesterday. I can still feel the hugged of my grade 6 classmates saying farewell to each other. Making promises that should not be broken if we really treat each other like brothers and sisters. And that promised is to forever be remember even though we have our different paths now.
Now I'm in my junior year. I'm a little bit scared and nervous. Scared because I'm afraid for the bully's. I'm not scared to be bully but I'm scared for the things that I might do to them. And I'm nervous because I will meet new people, new teacher, and new surroundings. It's really hard to always adjust. If only we have permanent address. But I'm just a kid following orders from my parents. Where ever they go we will go along with my older brother and younger sister. Our parents was hiding something from us. We don't know what it was but we can feel it. Everytime we ask why we will go to another place to live they will always said that we should follow them, they know what's best for us. My older brother will explain to me that I'm too young to understand it for now. That I should focus only on my study. And that will made me calm.
We now settle down in a private villa where average people in the town live. As we unpacked our stuff in our new house. I feel tired and bored so I walked outside to get some fresh air. The cloudy day give me comfort for my loneliness in this lonely road. The silence makes me relax. It feels like cloud nine. I only hear the wind and the bird singing. As I close my eyes, open my arms and feel the wind, someone dragged me.
"Hey! what's with you. Why are you in the middle of the road?" He angrily said.
I was shocked and was mesmerized by his looks. He has kissable lips, pointed nose, long eyelashes, blue eyes and glowing skin. He's taller than me and he is so handsome.
"Hey are you alright?!" He said while waving his hand in my face.
Then I realized I was making myself a fool. I was lost in my thoughts. I was so mesmerized by him that I forgot to answer his question. Oh my gosh! Why the hell did I do this. I thought.
"Yeah, thank you." I said while still looking in his eyes. It was so beautiful that I forgot again to control myself from looking into it.
"Okay. See you around neighbor." He said while smiling and then leave.
As he leave, I followed him by watching his broad back. He is still handsome even though I'm facing his back. I think his 16 years old the same age with my older brother. Oh my heart! He's my neighbor. Thank God. Something to be inspired of. I was smiling all the time as I walked home.

I got home and saw Mom arranging her plants in the garden. Well, my mom loves nature. She's also a plant Tita. And I adopt that attitude of her.
"Hi Mom." I said as I approached her.
"Hi Baby. Who open the gate for you?" She asked me and looked at me.
"The guard Mom." I replied.
"Oh, your Dad already hired a guard." She replied and continue spraying water to her potted plants.
"Yeah Mom." I replied as I about to go inside the house.
"How was it roaming around Baby?" She asked.
I stopped as she asked that question. Then I remembered the guy who I encountered in the road. I faced Mom and I can feel that I'm blushing. Then she looked at me. It's too late for me to turn back. So I maintained to be relax. But my face was still blushing.
"Wait, what happen to your face? Why are you blushing?" She asked and stopped what she's doing.
"Ah... It's nothing Mom. I think it's because of the sun." I lied as I don't want Mom to tease me. I know her. If I will share what happen a while ago, I'm going to be the topic of the day, tomorrow, until they get tired of it.
"You are not a good lier Rose." She said.
"It's true Mom." I defended.
"Oh Really? So where is the sun? Look at the sky. It's cloudy today." She said as she look up then look at me and was about to laugh.
"I don't know Mom. Maybe she's hiding from you" I continued to lie even though I know I'm busted.
"You are really funny baby. Alright I won't asked you anymore. Go inside and continue unpacking your things. Okay?" She replied while fixing my hair.
"Okay Mom." I replied as I run into my room. I was so shy that I can't face my family because I was still blushing. And my Mom makes me blush more.
"Sis? Are you alright? Why are you locking your room?" Lily askedwhile attempting to open the door.
"I'm fine Lily. I just want to rest for awhile. I will take a nap." I replied as lay down in my bed.
"Okay. If you need anything just text me." She replied and left.
"Sure. Thanks." I replied and hugged my pillow.
I look up at my ceiling and reminisce what happen today. What a day. I just want to walked to get some fresh air and relax for awhile and then this happen. I did not expect this. Why would I meet a handsome guy like him. I can't forget his face. Those long eyelashes, blue eyes, pointed nose, kissable lips, and glowing skin. Is this a crush at first sight? I think it is. Erase. Erase. Erase. Why can't I forget him? I'm too young for this. What if I fall in love with him. Then he dump me because the feeling is not mutual. Aaaah! I'm overthinking. What should I do. Calm down Rose. Calm down. Concentrate and relax. I should think for a plan to get rid of this feeling. Take a deep breath.
Inhale.
Exhale.
Okay. I'm ready.
( knock-knock )
"Who's that?" I asked.
"Rose? Are you alright?" He replied.
"Yes Dad." I replied and open the door.
"May I come in?" He asked.
I nod and smiled at Daddy.
"How was it? How was our new house?" He answered and sat on the couch near the door.
"It's beautiful than the last time Dad" I replied and sit on the floor near my bed to unpack my things from the box.
"Are you sure Baby? You can share what you feel. I will listen." He replied and was about to stand. But I stopped what I'm doing and sat beside him.
"Well, the truth Dad is I'm sad. I already bond to our maids, guards, and neighbors there. And specially to my friends and classmates. I'm missed them Dad. I'm tired of adjusting to new people and new environment. Can we settle down here? Please." I replied and hold Daddy's hands.
"I'm sorry Baby. I'm sorry if I can't tell you everything. Daddy has a reason why we are like this. And you are too young to understand. I will explain to you in the right time. Okay?" He replied while holding back my hands.
"Okay Daddy. But you didn't answer my question. Can we settle down here?" I asked.
"We will try. I can't promise. Do you trust Daddy?" He replied.
"I do Dad." I replied and hugged him. And he hugged me back.
"Thank you Baby. Now continue what you're doing" He replied.
"Okay Dad." I replied.
Then he left and I locked the door. As I am alone in this four corner room. I remembered that handsome guy I meet awhile ago and I remembered that I'm going to make a plan on how to get rid of what I feel for him. As I am planning, someone knocked the door.
( knock-knock )
"Who's that?" I asked.
"The most handsome man in the world." He answered.
Based on his answer I know who it is, my older brother. I run towards the door and asked him, "what's the magic word?"
"Nothing." He answered while laughing.
"You passed." I replied and opened the door smiling. "What's up Ben?"
"What's up with you? Lily said that she sense something is wrong with you." He replied and entered my room.
"Nothing's wrong with me. I'm totally fine. I'm just tired. " I replied while closing the door.
"Are you sure?" He asked while looking around my room.
"Yeah." I replied and sit on my bed.
"Okay. Mom said that we will have dinner after 2 hours." He replied and was about to go out.
"Okay." I replied while looking into him.
"I gotta go. I will still unpack my stuff." He replied and opened the door.
"Same here Bro." I replied and stand up to closed the door.
"See yah." He replied and left.
I locked the door again and I continue unpacking my things. Time past and I'm done arranging and making my room more like me with the help of our maids. I'm happy and satisfied with the result of my effort for my room. The sky blue color of my wall. The light pink curtain in my balcony. Those picture frames of mine who's edge was color white in my study table and wall. My small library near my study table at the right side of my bed. My bed with a combination of Light pink pillow and sky blue comforter. My cabinet full of my assorted stuffed toys, big and small at the front of my small library. My light pink couch with small sky blue pillow at the left side of my bed near the door. My musical instrument which are piano, violin and guitar in my small music room at the front of my bed. And star gazing lights in my sky blue ceiling.
( knock-knock )
"Who's that?" I asked.
"Lady Rose?" The maids replied.
"Yes?" I answered while taking selfie of my new room.
"Dinner is ready." The maids answered.
"Tell Mom I'm coming." I replied while still taking selfie.
"Yes Lady Rose." The maids replied and left.
"Thanks." I replied and post my selfie in my social media.

"Daddy tomorrow will be Sunday are we going to church?" Lily asked.
"Oh, I forgot tomorrow is Sunday. Yes we will go to church tomorrow." He replied and continue eating.
"Can we go to mall after church Dad?" Lily asked while pleading her hands.
"Yes my Princess." Daddy replied.
"Thank you Dad. I'm excited."
"You're welcome my Princess. Now, continue eating." He replied.
"I'm done Dad. Can I go to my room now?" Lily asked.
"Sure Princess. Sleep early, okay?" He replied.
"Yes Daddy, good night." Lily replied then kissed Dad in his cheeks. Daddy kissed Lily's forehead too.
"Where is mine Baby?" Mom asked.
"Later Mommy. You will go to my room, right?" She replied.
"Yes, but I want now. Can I? please." Mom replied.
"Later Mommy, I will give you a lot." She replied.
"How about us Lily? Where's our good night kiss?" Ben asked.
"Later I will go to your room with Mom. See you later." She replied and went to her room.
"Oh that kid. Spoiled by you Honey." Mommy said while touching Daddy's chin.
"Also you Honey." Dad replied while holding Mommy's hand.
"So cheesy here." I said teasing Mom and Dad.
"I'm done eating." Ben said.
"Me too." I said.
"Sit for awhile both of you." Daddy said.
"Okay Daddy." I replied.
"What is it Dad?" Ben asked.
( Kring-kring-kring )
( Phone ringing )
"Honey can you explain to them. I will just answer this call." He said and walked out.
"Yes Hon, go on." Mom replied.
"The day after tomorrow will be your first day of class. Both of you will have the same school. I hoped you will be good there. So Ben do your duty as an older brother. Okay?"
"Yes Mom." Ben answered.
"Is that all Mommy?" I asked.
"Yes Baby." Mom replied.
"Can we go to our room now Mom?" Ben asked.
"Sure. Sleep early. We will be early tomorrow in the church." Mommy answered.
"Yes Mommy." I replied.
As I enter in my room, I feel the cold breeze and saw the open balcony. I forgot to close it. As I was about to close the glass door, I saw a man standing outside our house. When he notice that I'm looking into him he walked away and get inside his car and left. I just let it pass to think that it's not a big deal. Maybe he's waiting for someone, I thought. I closed the door to the balcony and do my diary for the day at my bed. After I wrote my diary, I watched korean drama.
( knock-knock )
"Who's that?" I asked.
"Baby, it's time to sleep." Mom answered as she open the door and comes near me.
"Okay Mommy." I replied and stand to kissed her good night. I kissed in her cheeks and she kissed me in my forehead.
"So sweet of you Baby." She said and saw the laptop was on. "Oh, so you're watching again korean drama."
"Yes Mommy." I replied.
"Tomorrow is another day. Enough watching, okay? Sleep now." She said then touched my cheeks and walked away.
"Yes Mom." I replied and closed the door. But I continued watching. Just one last episode, I thought. Time past and it's almost midnight. I forgot that I should be early tomorrow. I was so into K-Drama that I forgot the time. Then I prepare to sleep and set my alarm clock for tomorrow.
( Kring-kring-kring )
( Alarm clock tone )
I woke up with my alarm and it's still 6am. I'm still sleepy but I need to prepare for church. I turned off my alarm clock. Stand up and opened the curtain then open the glass door in my balcony. I saw the sunrise and feel the vibe of it. I close my eyes and breathe deep. Then I start to prepare. Today will be a long day, I thought.
( knock-knock )
"Lady Rose, your Mom asked if you are ready. Breakfast is serve." The maids said.
"Tell her just 5 minutes more and I will be ready." I replied and continue to fix my hair.
"Yes Lady Rose." The maids replied and left.
As I continue my side braid ponytail. Someone knocked and my guess was right, it's Lily. She open the door and said, "Hey Sis, come on. Let's eat."
"Alright. I'm done. Let's go." I replied and went out with her.
As we walked down the stairs, I remembered that I left my phone in my bed. I went back to get it and saw my brother walking towards me.
"Good morning Brother. Are you done?" I asked him.
"Yeah. I'm going down to eat breakfast. How about you?" He answered.
"Me too. I'm just getting my cellphone." I replied.
"Okay, see you there." He replied.
I get my cellphone and went downstairs.
"Good morning Mom, Dad." I greet them while kissing their cheeks.
"Good morning Baby." They both replied.
We had our breakfast and leave immediately.
The church was just 5 minutes away from our house. So we arrive early in the church. We went to the front chair for us to be near the priest.
"Mom, can I roam around?" I asked.
"Yes Baby. Just come back before the mass start." She replied.
"Yes Mom, thank you." I replied and roam around.
The church was well ventilated. It's so peaceful that no one would dare to shout. As I walked outside the church, I saw the gothic design of it. The architecture design was so beautiful.
"It's beautiful right."
I was shocked and turn around who's voice is it. To my shocked I step backward and out of balanced because of a stone. He pulled me. And now I'm an inch away from him. We face closer and I look at him without even blinking. He look into my eyes, those blue eyes are telling something. I was lost in his looks. I can feel his breath and mine to him.
"Aheem! Do you know each other?"
I was back to myself after hearing the question of my brother. And cursed him for breaking our moments. I stood next to him. And he look to the both of us.
"You both still don't answer my question. Do you know each other?"
"No." I answered.
"Yes." He answered.
We look to each other and both shocked by our answers.
"You both have different answers. Hmm, whom shall I believe?" Ben asked and smirked.
"Ofcourse mine. I'm your sister." I answered and side hugged my brother.
"I will not put myself in shame." He interrupted.
Based on his looks, I think his mad that I denied him. I feel sad about it. My conscience was telling me to tell the truth but I'm shy to admit it. I'm confused because I lied already.
"Excuse me but I gotta go. The mass will start." He said and left without looking back.
What have I done. He's so good to me. Why did I act like this. I should have said yes. Why did I said no. This is all my fault.
