The Jerk is a Ghost

"Oh, isn't it? That's why we didn't plan to take you guys along because you guys are just going to die. It came from you. Tsk." Ate Leia answered this when she passed in front of us before getting into the car.

"Just sleep or go swimming in the mansion! Shoo! Go away Brother, we're leaving. You'll die of envy." Issa said that's why I looked at him and he just raised an eyebrow at me before getting into the Van.

"Your brother has the bad attitude, right? It's yours." He told me so I just shook my head. "Will you be, okay?" The tone of his voice changed. If earlier it was sad because it couldn't be with him, now it's a concern.

I smiled at him. "Don't worry about me, Justin. I can do it. I can do it little by little. Next time I'm ready to introduce myself as one of the Monteclaros."

He got shocked from what he heard from me. Maybe he didn't expect it. Ygrette must have heard that's why she clung to my arm.

"Don't pressure yourself, Iya. If we are pressuring you, just tell us." I know this seriously.

"'Don't worry. I don't put pressure on myself. I am at my own pace, Ygrette. This is what I want. Nor will I ever deny to the world that I am a Monteclaro. I learn how to accept everything now so it won't hurt me anymore."

"I'm glad you transferred on your own. You've grown so much in just a little time, Iya. I am proud of you." Ygrette said again as she hugged him.

"We are proud of you. Hey, I feel like I want it too

then transfer to SFU." I know that Justin was just joking but I also know that he is hoping somehow because he wants us to be together in the same school again.

"Hey! Stop it! If we're going to transfer, it can't be at SFU! You know if-"

"You can do what you want. I don't own your decisions. If you want to move to SFU so we can be together again, I don't mind. I told you, I'm preparing myself for what will happen next ." I know with a smile on my lips.

It's true. Even I want them to be in the same school again. It's still different when I'm with them.

The two of them couldn't believe what I said, so until now they were both dumbfounded by me, that's why I laughed at their reaction. I guess they didn't expect what they heard from me today. We really never got a chance to talk about it when we were together. I feel that they avoid it so they don't open it.

"Hey Justin, stop talking to those two! We're leaving. It's a nuisance." Sister Leia and I were both surprised because she got out of the car to take Ygrette and I into the car.

"It's my fault again?" I even heard his complaint before getting into the car that's why I laughed.

"Finally can go to the mall!" Issa said enthusiastically as the car started.

"Don't tell me you can't even go to the Mall?" Sister Leia's tone of voice was mixed with surprise.

"Ate Ygrette and Ate Iya don't want to. They say there are so many people. Ate Jamie doesn't want to join us because she says she'll just babysit for sure." Jazziel still complained. "Like... We're 13 already! I mean, yeah maybe Jaz isn't but hey, she will turn 13 in a few months. We're not a kid anymore."

"13 is still a kid." Sister Jamie said indifferently while closing her eyes.

"It's not! We're first year in school."

"New curriculum right? There's no such thing as 'first year' anymore in high school." Ygrette's squealing further.

"At least we're not Elementary anymore!"

We were still fighting and teasing each other so we didn't even realize that we were at the entrance of the Mall so we went down.

"Thanks Manong Lands! You can also go around if you want to. We will just text you." Manong Lando just nodded at Ate Leia's words.

Since we haven't eaten our lunch yet, we decided to eat first. We entered a Japanese Resto because that's what we were craving right now. Sister Leia insisted to pay for our food since it's been a while since we bonded.

We didn't complain because it was free. Who complains and refuses free? Of course, it's not me.

After we ate and were still a little full, we decided to go to different clothing stores. We shopped for different clothes and pants. Since Ate Jamie, who is a model, was there, she mostly chose my clothes because she said I have no taste in choosing. I didn't do anything but let him. Fortunately, he chose good ones and not too revealing.

And since Ate Jamie is a model even though she is still studying in college, many people know her. Sometimes someone even approaches to take a picture.

"You're really different Jamie!" Sister Leia said and laughed.

"What are you, I'm just Leia." It turned back to him so he also laughed at what he said.

Out of all of us who are cousins, I think Ate Jamie is the most popular and has the loudest name. She was still in high school when an agency recruited her to be a model and she didn't turn it down. It wasn't long before he was recognized.

Other people were even surprised when they found out that he was also a Monteclaro. Ate Jamie's modeling name is only Margot, which is her first name. His name became more resonant in the audience because of being Monteclaro.

Somewhere we entered the store and they decided to go to the Jewelry store.

I was even more surprised when we entered to see Eunice. I was about to hide behind my cousins ​​when he suddenly turned towards us and saw me. I just took a deep breath.
