Last Waltz LEGACY # 7

Punished

You know the drill, flashbacks in italics.

--------------------------------------------

I fixed my student council arm band before going out of my room. My brothers, Ashton and Aidan are all waiting for me outside. Kuya Ash was already busy finishing my lunch box while Kuya Aidan gave me my bag.

"Hey Alex, kapag may nang away sayo, just tell us." Kuya Ai said. I rolled my eyes at tumalikod sa kanya para maisuot ang back pack ko.

"Subukan lang nilang saktan ka. Tangina, kakatayin ko sila." Banta naman ni Kuya Ash. Hinablot ko lamang ang lunchbox ko bago ako kumapit sa braso nilang dalawa at lumabas ng bahay. Kinuha ni Kuya Aidan ang payong ko bago ako inabutan ni Kuya Ash ng jacket. I groaned when I saw the wet pavement. Dapat kasi kanselado na lang ang klase. Hindi naman waterproof ang mga estudyante.

"I'll be fine." Anas ko. They both rolled their eyes kaya natawa ako. My brothers were, just like me, adopted. Home schooled talaga ako but I decided to have a normal life now that I am already at my Senior highschool. I've survived my grade 10 and now Grade 11 na ako. Plus, I am the secretary of the student council.

It was hard living the life of a daughter of a drug lord. Maybe that is also one of the reasons why I wanted to become a council. I feel like I could pay for my father's sins with public service.

Isa pa, alam kong baling araw ay hihiwalay kami ng mga kapatid ko sa ama naming si Phyton. I need to be a public servant so that I could gain connections, connections that would help me in freeing myself and my brothers from Phyton.

Nakasakay na ako sa kotse at papasok na si Kuya Ashton noong mauntog siya sa gilid ng pintuan.

"Ah punyeta, my nose. Ghad that door." Bwisit niyang sabi. Ngumisi si Kuya Aidan bago ginulo ang buhok ko.

"Take care kiddo. Ash, go straight to the headquarters after you drop Alex." Anas ni Kuya. Kuya Ash just flashed his middle finger before driving.

I waved once more to my Kuya when he dropped me infront of our school already. Mayabang lang siyang ngumisi bago pinaharurot ang sasakyan niya. Nanatili pa rin ako sa tapat ng gate habang pinapanood ko ang papalayong sasakyan niya.

Papasok na sana ako ng campus noong makita ko ang humaharurot na pulang convertible. My eyes widened when I saw that it was clearly running at 180 km/h, iilang mga estudyante na ang muntik nilang masagi dahil sa bilis.

I narrowed my eyes to see who was driving. There were two of them, one was already sleeping while the other one, has dyed blonde hair, chewing a gum while wearing a big blue headphones.

He swerved near a muddy puddle at tumalsik lahat ng putik sa akin dahil sa ginawa niya. I gasped so hard from shock, anger and frustration when I felt the cold mud on my uniform.
