Agad ring nawala ang tensyong namayani kani-kanina. Natigil rin ang bulungan at napawi rin ang gulat nila.

Tahimik ako sa buong oras hanggang natapos ang mini-auction at wala namang napag-iwanan at lahat ay nakuha. They explained and instructed about the benefits and what we'll gain about it. Gaya ng sinabi ko ay hati ang malilikom na pera para sa school at department. Ang pera sa department namin ay pang-popondo pala sa gagawing art gallery at arts studio habang ang malilikom ng school ay pandadagdag sa gagawing bagong sport gymnasium.

At sa parteng usapang magiging mentor namin ang mga makakabili lahat ng entry namin. Yahwi chose to take the painting and willing to help me in anyways.

After the auction, the council let us all to enjoy the evening until ten. They partied, danced and laughed with the night as it goes by. Habang ako ay nanatiling nakaupo at tahimik lang sa upuan at paminsan-minsang umiinom na rin ng juice. Yahwi's beside me too and he's silent. Parang sinasabayan lang ako.

"Don't drink too much," biglang aniya sa tabi kaya nabaling ang atensyon ko sa kanya.

"Huh?"

"I said, don't drink too much." He repeated as if irritated.

Ni hindi nga niya ako hinaharap. Hindi pa niya ako kinakausap kanina pa o kibuin man lang. I'm afraid to ask why so I didn't try to.

"Juice lang-"

"Don't you know that they added alcohol with the drinks?"

"H-Huh? Hindi..." Iling ko at napatitig sa hawak na pulang plastic na baso. Kaya pala medyo nakakaramdam ako ng kakaibang hilo at iba talaga ang lasa. "Bakit ba nila nilagyan?"

"Tss."

Napainom ako saka sumulyap sa kanya. Tuloy-tuloy kong nilagok iyon nang bumaling na siya sa wakas sa akin. I grinned and licked my lip.

"Hindi naman nakakalasing eh," kibit ko ng balikat saka hinarap siya. "Right?"

His stares became more frantic and stoic. I saw him protruded his jaw and looked away. He drank on his cup and was about to stand up when I held on his thigh and stopped him.

"Saan ka pupunta?"

"Gonna get food." Sagot niya saka minsang bumaba ang mata sa kamay kong nasa hita niya. I gripped, he stiffened.

"Hm, okay."

"You want something?"

"You...." I teased and saw his eyes stared menacingly. "I mean, you, what do you want?" I took back my words and surrenderingly put my hands up and smiled.

"You know what I want, Miyuki Dokyum..." He fired back.

"Ah, I know, Yahwi Alexander..." Salubong ko ng titig niya.

I saw him licked his lip and looked away again. Pasimpleng hinawakan niya ang kamay ko na nasa hita niya at akala ko kung tatanggalin niya ay hindi pala.

"You want marshmallows?"

"Yes please and a drink,"

Napailing siya at pinisil ang kamay kong hawak na niya. "I'll just buy you another drink,"

"Bakit pa? Okay naman iyong juice dito ah," giit ko.

"You're drunk,"

"What?" I chuckled and shook my head. "I'm not. Klarong-klaro pa ang daloy ng utak ko, 'no."
