Agatha
I had just finished my performance. I was supposed to perform tomorrow, but I changed it today because I have a meeting tomorrow night.
Too bad hindi duty si kiddo ngayon, I was planning to tease her. Now I understand why she keeps teasing me. It was satisfying. I'm becoming addicted to her full attention. It satisfies my desire. Yesterday, I had fun watching her draw me. Actually, it was the first time I had ever flirted with someone younger than me.
Pagkalabas ko ng room nakasalubong ko si Gio. "Bakla may papakilala ako sayo." Hinila niya yung kasama niyang babae sa gilid niya.
"Remember her? Yung bagong VIP." Tinignan ko ang face nung sinasabi niyang VIP, inaalala ko kung nakita ko na ba siya. The faces that leave me with no lasting impression are not ones I can remember.
"I'm sorry but no." Sinamaan ko ng tingin si Gio ng matapos niya akong hampasin sa braso.
"Siya yung sa piece of paper." Pinanlakihan niya ako ng mata.
"Oh, I remember now." Not her though, it's because of kiddo. Since that day, she has started annoying me.
"I'm Kate." Nilahad ni Kate ang right hand niya.
"Ag-" She cut me off.
"Agatha, yes I know you." Pasimpleng sinipa ako ni Gio para lang kamayan si Kate, walang nagawa na inabot ko ito.
"I have to go." Gio is setting me up, I'm sure of it.
"Let's have a drink, girl." Makakatikim talaga 'tong bestfriend ko, hindi makuha sa tingin.
"Nah, maybe next time? I'll go ahead." Hindi ko na hinintay ang sagot nila at diretso na akong naglakad papunta sa exit.
"Hatid na kita sa car mo." Napalingon ako ng biglang sulpot ni Kate sa tabi ko.
"No, thank you. I can handle it on my own."
Nang makarating sa kotse, hinahanap ko ang susi sa bag ko. Napahinto ako nang maramdaman ko na may tao sa likod ko. Nilingon ko 'to, "Kate?" I didn't realize she was following me until I got to my car.
"I'm just making sure na safe ka." I simply smiled at her before getting into my car. I had started the car and was about to leave when she knocked on the window.
"Yes?"
"You have a flat tire." Sabi niya habang nakatingin sa likod. Bumaba ako para tignan and yeah she's right.
"I can drop you off."
"No, thanks. Magta-taxi na lang siguro ako or I'll call Gio." Kinuha ko sa loob ng car yung cellphone ko at tinawagan si Gio. Nakailang ring na pero hindi pa rin nito sinasagot, baklang yun!
"C'mon I insist." Tatanggi pa lang ako nang biglaan niyang kunin ang bag ko at nauna nang maglakad. Hindi ako nakapag-react agad.
"Hey!" Ni-lock ko ang car at sumunod kay Kate. Why does someone like her exist? I hate her guts, it is so annoying.
Kahit anong tawag ko sa kaniya hindi niya ako nililingon hanggang makasakay siya sa isang red car, kaya I have no choice kung hindi sumunod na rin. I sighed, before opening the door.
"Ano address mo?" Inabot niya sa'kin ang cellphone niya. Kinuha ko 'to para ilagay ang address ko.
I didn't care to listen to her as she kept talking. Masiyado siyang madaldal, nakakaubos ng energy. I'm not interested in her life, we're not even friends.
"Halos kararating ko lang dito sa pinas. That explains why I don't have many friends here."
"Yeah?" Lumingon 'to sakin saglit at nakatingin na tumango.
