My head was pounding when I woke up and the first thing that came to my mind was, “What the hell happened last night?” I didn’t even dare to open my eyes but I felt like someone was watching me and fucking hell, someone really was! Before I even had the chance to stop myself, my hand connected with the cheek of Thomas Torres, which I kind of regretted because the poor guy probably had little to no reminder of what happened the night before.

One thing was for certain. Something happened between us and it was something that I don’t even want to remember. The deed will be buried forever in the depths of my drunken memories. It was all a blur anyway but the way my body felt sore every time I moved just makes me wonder about what really did happen. I just hope that we were both too drunk for him to notice the black and blue patches scattered around my skin.

I bit my lower lip at the thought. I was on my way home from the Torres’ residence. It was a good thing that both of his parents and his siblings weren’t home. Damn, that would have been absolutely awkward as hell. I glanced at the time on the taxi’s radio and sighed in relief. It was a Monday and my mom (step-mom) was definitely at work while my stepsister was at school. I really don’t want to deal with either of them. It’s also a relief that my class was still after lunch and I have some time to fix myself up and get rid of this hangover. I don’t think my professors will appreciate if I appear with a terrible hangover.

“You look like a mess!” Aly commented the moment I sat down beside her for our Theology class.

“Thanks for stating the obvious,” I groaned as I rested my head on my folded arms on top of my desk. “Wala pa sina Von?”

“Obvious naman na wala pa. Baka naman hindi na pumasok yung mga iyon. I heard they were passed out last night. Go hard naman kasi,” she chuckled. “What about you? How’s the hangover? You drank more than you normally do,”

I just shrugged and mumbled that I was fine but I’m just tired.

“So, did anything happen? I mean, Thomas offered to bring you home and you both were just all over each other,” Aly chuckled as she poked my side. “Something happened, ano? Don’t dare lie to me, Tina!”

I rolled my eyes. I had to stop myself from freezing on the spot just so she won’t notice anything. “What the hell, Aly? You know that I don’t sleep around. I can’t even remember being “all over” him,” I replied as smoothly as I could. I really don’t sleep around and it was a one-time thing. I guess I let my emotions step out of line last night just because I was having a really shitty week at home.

“If you say so,” she said but I can hear a teasing tone in her voice. “But seriously, it seemed to me that you two got along well last night,”

“Drop it,” I sighed. “Nothing happened. He was kind enough to take the cab with me just so he can make sure that I wouldn’t be brought somewhere else. Besides, it’s not like we’ll be seeing each other again or that often,”

“Okay, fine. But you have to admit that he’s nice,” she giggled. “Anyway. How’d your mom react when you came home late?”
