To What Cost

Foundation Day Pt. 3

Buong story po puro Foundation Day :) Jk.

4pm when the program ended and the gate opened for outsiders. Pwede na umuwi yung mga gusto na umuwi while those who want to stay can stay pero pwede pa naman bumalik mamaya. The bands would start at 6pm and assuming will end at 7 I think. It would be a party only us Highschool will enjoy...

Kaya etong kasabay ko bumaril is planning to bring alcohol!

Noah, Rie, and I are passing the time in Timezone.. the others are I think shopping but we're in the same building. We planned to meet up before 5:40 sa ground floor ng SM para sabay sabay na pumunta ng school.

Noah watched as Rie and I shoot the zombies' head while he ate.. yes-kumakain nanaman siya- ice cream. Paminsan minsan pa niya akong sinusubuan. That was originally mine! 

"Sia..." Noah called... with a tone I noticed. Like a disappointed sad tone.

"Mhhmm? Oh putanginamo." May biglang lumitaw na zombie sa harap ko!

"Naninigarilyo ka pa?" I froze.. I saw how Rie glanced at me before shooting the zombies. 

"Minsan." I resumed playing but my ears were waiting for Noah's sermon. He might've seen my pack or lighter or-

"Ano lasa?" Sabay kaming napatingin ni Rie sakanya. Rie only gave a glance. 

"Uhh.." I didn't know what to say! Noah was just looking at us innocently.. waiting for our answer.

"Wag mo na alamin." Rie said as she shot another zombie.. nalalamangan na tuloy ako!

I continued playing until namatay na 'ko. "Bakit mo naman natanong?" I asked as I threw the gun back at its place. Sumandal naman ako while I looked at him.

"Wala lang..nahuli ko lang si kuya naninigarilyo nung nakaraan. Curious lang ako." I nodded as I played with my lip. "Well ieexplain ko nalang sayo. Lasang usok." I smiled playfully. I waved at the few guys na kanina pang nanonood samin before wrapping my arm around Noah's shoulder as we left. "Alam mo, hindi siya masarap. Mapait pa nga siya.. it's just a chemical reaction kaya nakakaddict, parang alcohol, mapait, sobrang pait, pero we still drink kasi nakakaaddict.. ganon."

"Patikim." I raised a brow as I step away from him. I looked at him intently. Gulat din si Rie sa narinig.

"I do not like where this is going. Sa susunod niyan magtatanong ka na sakin saan ako nakakabili, pano ako nakakabili, tapos susunod makikita kita sa ospital uubo ubo kasi may lung cancer ka na."

"Gago mo Avamia."

"Advance ako mag-isip pare. Kung naninigarilyo yung kapatid mo, tas maninigarilyo ka pa, mauuna ka pa sakin. Wala kang pupuntahan, di ka tanggap ni San Pedro."

"Wag mo na subukan pre yun lang advice ko sayo." Rie said strictly. I gestured like Noah's dead dahil si Rie na ang nagsalita.

Noah shook his head. Determined to taste a freaking cigarette! Pano kami napunta rito!! This guy kasi is like a kid.. when he becomes curious, he would do anything para lang malaman yung sagot. If he became curious what the clouds taste like heck he might even jump out of a plane to taste it.. kaya sana wag siyang macurious kung ano lasa non.

And dahil kilala ko na siya.. the only answer is "Ok fine. Don tayo sa smoking area."

"Huy Si." Rie tried to stop us pero nahatak na 'ko ni Noah! She didn't have a choice kung hindi sumunod.

And heck pumunta nga talaga kami!

Rie also went outside to smoke.. No use hiding. Doon kami sa part na walang taong dumaraan para hindi kami mapagalitan. I also asked Rie to buy water kaya ngayon nakaready ako dahil alam kong mauubo siya.. It's bad enough na I'm doing this tapos tuturuan ko pa 'to?!
