"I want to yell, become hulk and fucking throw you both." I groaned as I looked at my now soaked clothes.

"Ayan, mag-skip ka pa ng classes. Nadamay ka tuloy!" Ambs laughed in sync with Raven who was beside her.

Here's what happened, they heard three girls bullying their one blockmate while I was sleeping inside the cubicle. By the time I woke up, I heard screams along with someone pounding on the toilet's locked main door. Man, the pounding stopped so I stepped out of the cubicle to look at my reflection whilst ignoring the girls. But when I was about to turn the faucet on, the door was kicked open. Yeah, their door was pretty old.

Kicking the door open made me back up as the door flew towards the bucket where the mop gets dipped in. So, that's how I ended up like this.

"Do I have to pretend to be your mother?" I sighed, while changing my clothes inside the cubicle.

"Oo! Bawal na nga kasi si Tina, kilala na nila boses!" Ambs said.

I groaned, "Your parents had successfully bribed them back then so why not for the second time around?"

"Hehe, sabi ni Mama last na daw 'yon o matutulog raw ako sa bubong." Ambs replied, making Raven laugh.

Honestly, they're not bad people. Most of the people they scare are men, bullies and such. Ambs is actually really sweet, just bored. While Raven.. I guess just hates men? I actually don't know the exact reason but Raven's father left her and her mother three years ago. While we met two years ago.

"Buy me a drink later," I looked at them, fixing my fitted crop top before Raven looked at me with wide eyes.

"Gago?!" she yelled in disbelief.

I nodded as Ambs just threw her hands up in defeat, "Oo na."

Tina just sighed, knowing that I won't allow the two to back out from buying my drink since they caused my clothes to get soaked with dirty water.

In the night, we ended up in a quiet bar in BGC. We sat on a wooden stool, I was already getting tipsy, but not drunk. Just enough to convince people that I was. My eyes were wandering the bar before I heard a yell.

"Watch where the fuck you're going!" I heard from a voice, he had an accent so I turned to watch.

"Wow, ako pa mag-aadjust 'e ikaw 'tong paharang-harang sa daan?" said the other man.

I stared at them both, the first guy had a scary gaze, black hair, sharp jawline, fair skin and heart-shaped pink lips. He looks kind of Australian to me, not to mention the accent, too. Although he does look soft, his eyes gave him more of a scary look, most likely because of the one he's glaring at.

While the other had colored hair, he had dark blue hair, cat-like but dark eyes, slightly honey-skinned while his nose was so tall that a person could slide a coin on it. Once again, he does look soft but the guy in front of him is most probably someone he hates with a burning passion.

I tore my eyes away from their argument as I looked around before my eyes landed on a long and thick piece of wooden plank. I slightly smirked to myself.

I soon asked the bartender to hand me the wooden plank, "Sure po kayo? Mabigat po 'to—"

"Are you underestimating me? Just hand it to me," I sighed. Gladly, Ambs and the others were focused on the two that were arguing non-stop.

But as I got up, Ambs suddenly cursed out loud when she finally caught a glimpse of the other guy's face from the dark bar as white lights replaced the red ones. But I didn't budge, the two men's friends were just laughing at their argument while some were taking a video.

I took the wooden plank before throwing it up on my shoulder as I once again, pretended to be drunk. I let out a small sinister giggle before walking, as I rushed towards the two men arguing; I took my chance to swiftly swing the wooden plank,

Hitting the black-haired one first before the blue-haired, I could hear their friends' laughter grow louder and I swear I saw one of them recording what had just happened.

"Aray putcha!" The blue-haired one cursed out loud before Ambs rushed towards me, swiftly carrying me as she threw me onto her left shoulder—convinced I was drunk.

"Damn." I heard from one of the two men's friends, he had a really deep voice but I didn't get the chance to look at his face for that Ambs carried me away.

As we left the bar, Ambs threw me to the backseat of Tina's car before the three entered after me. Tina sat on the driver's seat while Ambs was beside her, Raven was just sitting beside my laying body with my legs draped above hers.

"Gago, Ambs, type ka ata ni Trevs?" Tina laughed before driving away, who's Trevs?

"Sino? Tropa ba 'yon nila ano?" Ambs looked at Tina with confusion.

Tina glanced at her before laughing, "Ang chismoso kasi ni bal sandali! Naging ka-tropa nila kuya Ace 'yon a few months bago nag kandaletse-letse sila kuya."

"Ah, okay. Pass, lods." Ambs said.

"Weh, mahal mo pa si ano 'no?" Raven joined in.

I knew who Raven was talking about so I dropped the drunk act before sitting uo as I crossed my arms, "Damn, still him?"

"Gago bakit buhay ka pa?!" Ambs exclaimed since she thought I was actually dead-drunk.

"I wasn't buying the drunk act." Tina laughed before Raven snapped her fingers as she clicked her tongue onto the top of her mouth.

"Sayang, plano ko pa namang itapon ka sa kanal." Raven heaved a sigh.

I looked at her as I flashed a middle finger before talking, "But yeah, I do think the Trevs guy interests in Ambs." I smirked a little.

"Gago, pati ba naman ikaw." Ambs massaged her forehead.

Tina chuckled before stopping in front of my condo, "By the time you wake up, viral ka na, Indie." She laughs.

Hm, will the two guys get mad at me for embarrassing them? If so, the wooden plank situation was a nice first encounter.
