Chapter 16

Taegan

Ingay. Sobrang ingay ang sumalubong sa amin dito sa hindi ko alam kung pang ilang bar na ba 'to.

One thing I like about Pakan is marami ang nag-oopen ng bar dito.

Even maliit lang ang munisipyo na 'to. It's thanks to the lovely beach marami rin ang dumadayo dito.

"Taegan! Shot pa!" It was Alexa who handed me another drink. I'm tipsy. Plus the strobe lights are blinding me.

Maraming nagsasayawan sa dance floor. It's summer, kaya maraming tao. Even though it's not summer, marami pa din ang tourists na bumibisita dito sa amin.

I chugged down the drink. Fuck! Hindi ko alam kung pang ilang inom ko na 'to. I am having fun.

No problem, no Leah, no nothing. I'm having the best night of my life. Nandito si Daniel, kumpleto kami eh.

"Sayaw tayo!" Aya ni Dan sa amin kaya nagsitayuan na kami at nag punta sa dance floor. We're completely lost in the sound of music and the fun we're having.

Hindi din kami umabot ng isang oras. Last na bar na pinuntahan namin is ChillBack.

Oo nakapag drive pa din kami. Mataas tolerance eh. Dito na din last stop namin. Here's a tip. If you're out drinking hard, sober up before you go home or sleep or even sleep sideways. Iwas disgrasya lang.

Kaya heto kami ngayon, not drinking hard drinks. We settled into beer.

Chill lang ang ambiance at ang music.

"What do we have here?" Napalingon kaming lahat sa nagsalita. Automatic na nag landing ang mata ko kay Kendall. It's her crush.

"DJ Lou." Tumayo pa talaga siya para batiin ang babae. Natatawa lang kami.

We've never seen Kendall this anxious. Talaga bang crush niya lang 'to or tinamaan talaga ng lintek itong si Kendall?

One way to find out.

"May kasama ka DJ Lou?" I asked.

She smiled at me. "Just Lou is fine. But to answer your question, wala akong kasama."

"Oh lone fox." Kendall said. Pinaupo namin siya. We're just observing them.

"Fox? Hindi ba't wolf ang dapat?"

"No, fox is fine. Cause you look beautiful tonight. You're always beautiful, it's just that tonight it's ten times more."

Nagpipigil kami ng tawa nila Alexa. Dan just shook his head.

Woah! Kendall just flirted with the young DJ.

Natawa lang si DJ Lou sa sinabi ni Kendall, napailing, but she kinda look like ginusto niya ang compliment.

We let them be.

"I can't believe that Kendall is actually flirting." Sabi ni Devon.

"Hanap ka din." Sabi ko.

Devon only smirked and her eyes wander around inside the bar. Medyo hindi marami ang tao dito sa ChillBack.

Mostly kasi umiinom lang dito is 'yung gustong mag chill lang talaga.

"Nah, there's no girl here that interests me." Sagot nito at uminom.

"Si Sheira dude. Total she's clearly your type." Tukso ni Alexa. Natawa ako sa reaksiyon ni Devon. She just made a disgusted face.

"Type? Saan banda?! Nahihibang ka ba ha Alexa?! She's too noisy. Sakit sa ulo ang babaeng 'yun. Inaaway niya ako palagi. Kapag naging kami, ha! Baka world war kami palagi."
