TNRS I: To The Bone (Ongoing)

Chapter 25: Friends

"I can't believe you guys left me!"Grey shouted, stomping his feet.

"You have your own ride, what are you even fussing about?" I said.

"I got my car to the mechanic kaya sasabay ako. But the second I turn around you guys we're nowhere to be found."

"Shut up, grey." Kalmadong sabi ni axel habang nagmamaneho.

"You didn't even return last night." Dagdag ko pa. Ni hindi ko nga siya nakita sa convention kahapon dahil wala siya sa assigned seat niya which is next to me and axel.

He's became a ghost kahapon, kahit sa hotel room namin ay hindi ko pa siya nakita though axel said he came over the room when I was asleep na. Honestly, I don't even know why I'm taking to him.

"Oh that?" From the front mirror I can see grey smirking and grinning like a fox.

"No. I don't wanna know." Umiling ako. Who knows whose bed he slept in and slept with last night.

"It's not what you think, okay? And by the way, why can't I even call either of you kagabi, huh?"

Natigilan ako. Hindi rin umimik si axel at nagpatuloy lang sa pagmamaneho. I gulped. I couldn't sleep well last night thinking about what happened and what almost could've happened between me and axel.

"Ooh." Grey whistled. "I see. You guys-"

"Calling either of us? You have my number?" I instantly tried to avert his attention.

"I have my ways." Grey winked at me from the mirror.

"You better delete it." I better not receive any texts or calls from him about useless things. Tumawa naman siya.

Umiling na lang ako at hindi na nakinig pa. We still have one day to go for the convention, let's not waste our energy over some of his nonsense.

Kinabukasan, the three of us got to the convention all together para sabay sabay na but since we got there very early, we decided to eat out muna.

"Come on, man. You two have been dating for like a year now, raizza could need a breather or two and I would gladly help-"

"Just shut up and eat your fucking food." Axel is pissed as it is and grey is poking more fun out of it.

"Look! That guy over there, kanina pa niyan tinitignan si raizza. Why don't you beat him up in the men's room later and I'll take rai to a boutique where it's safe." Grey suggested, as if he suggested a good idea. A good idea to cause him an eye or two from his friend.

I thought they'd be more well-mannered considering the fact they are both from a well known and rich family. Really, they're both utterly and annoyingly childish most of the time. I inwardly faced palmed myself. Mas maingay pa sila sa babae.

"Really, Ferrel. I think rai would be better off with me." He winked at me, almost causing me to choke on my food.

While axel was ignoring him, he continued to spew nonsense and useless things. Nahihilo na ako sa pinagsasabi niya. Kanina pa siya hindi tumitigil magsalita. How did the band put up with his mouth? And how did I even ended up with these two idiots?

When grey went to the bathroom after we had our breakfast at doon lang nagkaroon ng katahinikan. But ilang oras pa ang lumipas ay hindi pa siya bumabalik when axel looked in the men's room ay wala naman siya roon. So, axel and I decided to split up para hanapin si grey.

"See you later, sweetie."

I turned my head when I heard Grey's voice. And boy was I not surprised. We've been waiting for him to come back from the men's room after niyang magpaalam and it's been 30 mins since he left.
