Wake Up Sleepy Head

It was Prom Night. We never got drunk or got lucky with our dates, so, we spent the rest of the night, clad in our formal attire, driving around the city. We had fun!!! Too much fun...

I went home the next morning, 6 AM to be exact. My mom was already awake and on her way to church. Since highschool pa ako nito, she had a rule na dapat di kami sikatan ng araw sa daan. I was proven guilty and sentenced to go directly to church. Di na ako nakipag-argue.

I sat at the back while she was out front. I was trying my best to keep my eyes open the whole time. Pero antok na antok na talaga ako. Then after taking communion, I went back to my seat, closed my eyes and bent over to pray.

The rustling of walis startled me. I looked up and saw the caretaker a few meters away from me.

The church was empty.

I slept through the last part of the service and nobody bothered to wake me up. Great…
