One More Chance by Jaycelle Rodriguez

Chapter 2: Spoiled Brat Samantha

~~What is this I'm feelin' I just can't explain. When you're near, I'm just not the same. I tried to hide it, tried not to show it, it's crazy, how could it be? I've fallen for you. Finally, my heart gave in. And I'm fallin' in love, I finally know how it feels, so this is love~~~

-Toni Gonzaga-

Four years ago...a 17-year-old Samantha...

Samantha's POV:

"Ouch!"

I screamed, caressing my forehead. Then a crumpled paper landed in front of me. I don't have to ask who did that stupid thing as there is only one person who always does such a thing to annoy me. My older brother, Dale.

Frowning, I slowly turned my chair only to see him lying on my bed, grinning with his legs crossed against each other.

"Dale! What the hell are you doing here?"

"Shhh... hey, sis, why do you always forget that this is also my house?" He changed his position. He faced me, resting his head on the palm of his hand while his elbow supported its weight.

"Excuse me, I don't forget that this is also your house, but let me just remind you that this is my freaking room! Argh! Get out of here right now!"

I always thank God for having strengthened my lungs every time I have to yell at my brother, yet, I also ask him, why of all my father's sperm cells, He let this one fertilized my mother's egg cells? Why did He give me the most annoying brother instead of a loving and caring sister?

But no matter how I tried to search the answer, the more He makes my brother the more irritating--- annoying---exasperating---infuriating---aghh! Whatever you may call it!

"What if I don't?"

"Then I'll call Dad to kick you out of here!" I huffed. In my own opinion, Dad loves me more than he loves my brother.

"Go, ahead. I won't stop you. When he gets here, I'll tell him what I saw on your computer."

"Huh!" My eyes widened in shock and I looked back at my computer screen. That's it. The handsome face of Dale's best friend---Luke is still smiling on the screen. I turned it off immediately and glanced back at my laughing brother. Take note, in an annoying way.

"So what are you waiting for? Why don't you call Dad or even Mom so I could tell them---" but he didn't get the chance to finish what he was saying as my notepad fell on his face.

See? My things knew how to fly when I get annoyed.

"Dale Sebastian Soriano! Don't you know how to respect someone's privacy? You're so annoying!"

But he just laughed even more.

My chest goes up and down but I remained seated. I'm really trying to calm my nerves not to kill my own brother. How I wish sometimes for the ground to open up and swallow him. I don't care if it includes my bed, I'll just ask Dad to buy me a new one.

"Samantha, Samantha, Samantha. Tsk.tsk.tsk... when are you going to wake up and stop dreaming about my best friend? Oh, no, I forgot you're awake. Stop daydreaming about Luke, because let me tell you, he already has a girlfriend. And even if he doesn't have one, he will certainly never notice you."

'Ouch.' My heart screams inside.

"He will never look at you. Tss! He doesn't even like you, I mean, you're not his type."
