RUE Fort Bonifacio
09:35 PM

It was a Saturday night, the most perfect time to booze and party. I called for an advance reservation because it's hard to get a table especially on Friday and Saturday nights. And my mouth was already watering when the bartender served the famous caramel beer in front of me.

"Where's your friends?" tanong ni Rosco na isang bartender dito sa RUE, magkakilala kami dahil batchmates kami noong high school. Ex-crush ko siya kasi sila pa rin ng long-time girlfriend niya.

"Busy. Savannah's prepping for the pageant, Harper is pursuing the mayor, and Diego... Diego is god knows where. They have their own lives and I have mine, here." my eyesight was getting a little bit blurry but I know I was still sober.

This is my fifth round of the caramel beer that has been my favorite drink out of all their beers and cocktails. Nasayang ang table na ipina-reserve ko dahil ako lang pala mag-isa tonight kaya rito nalang ako sa counter tumambay.

"Diego Graciano? The son of the governor?" may pinaghalong pagtataka at pagkamangha sa kanyang mga mata. Of course, he doesn't know I was friends with Diego because he hasn't seen me with him. Madalas na sina Harper at Savannah ang kasama ko kapag nagba-bar hopping, hindi kasi mahilig magbar si Diego kaya hindi sumasama.

"Yeah. We're friends. Do you know him?" tiningala ko siya at pilit na ibinubuka ang aking mga mata dahil bumibigat na ang aking mga talukap.

"Yes. I know him, though not personally. My sister knows him."

Lumaon ang aming usapan tungkol doon hanggang sa naalala ko nalang kung paano niya akong hinatid sa isang cab pauwi. I was able to go home but after that, it was all a blur.

Kinabukasan.

"Try coffee nang mabawasan 'yang hang over mo." suhestiyon ni Savannah habang abala siya sa pag-aadjust ng kanyang bra. Lumuluwa na kasi ang mga suso niya dahil maliit ang size ng bra na na-order niya sa Ever Bilena.

"Pwede ring fruit juice, effective daw 'yun." iyon naman ang suggestion ni Harper na mga bente minutos nang nagdi-daydream at parang siraulong ngumingiti nang mag-isa.

Nasa bleachers kami ngayon ng gymnasium. Manonood kami ng laro ni Diego dahil may practice game sila laban sa kabilang school. Although masakit pa rin ang ulo ko hanggang ngayon, ininda ko na lamang iyon hanggang sa matapos ang mga klase namin.

As we walked out of the school, Savannah was busy complaining to Ever Bilena's customer service about the wrong brassiere size they sent her. Harper is absorbed with the secret phone conversation he's having with the mayor. And Diego was silently walking with a ball on his hand.

We were like the F4 in our school, just diverse version because we have different sexual orientations. Pero kahit na ganoon ay nagsisilingunan ang lahat kapag nakahilera kaming naglalakad sa school.

Pag-uwi ko ay agad akong humilata sa kama habang marahang hinihilot ang aking ulo. At bilang stress reliever, I took out my phone and opened a dating application. I have never met anyone from here, hindi ko rin kasi hilig ang makipag-meet up dahil baka kung ano pang sakit ang makuha ko.

I have already swiped left a bunch of guys and girls. Mixed genders ang lumalabas sa aking feed dahil posible naman akong ma-attract sa parehong kasarian. After my twenty-fourth swipe left, napahinto ako nang makita ang profile ng isang gwapong lalaki. Hindi ako mahilig sa gwapo pero ibang klase ang kagwapuhan nito.

Dumapa ako sa kama at ini-stalk ang profile nito. Walang masyadong nakalagay sa kanyang bio ngunit may tatlo siyang litrato. Ang una, close up picture iyon at hindi man nakangiti ay mas lalo iyong naging attractive. Ang ikalawa, whole body picture niya na may hawak na surfing board ngunit natatakpan ng rayban shades ang kanyang mga mata. And the last picture was him naked.
