Chapter 3

"Kal! Kalani!" I can hear him from afar though I continue walking, never minding him.

When I got home, I rushed to my room and threw myself to the soft mattress. Tumulala lang ako sa kisame at inaalala ang mga naiisip kanina. I'm such a fool.

I shouldn't have let my feelings get to me, I already buried them in the ground. I just don't understand why does it have to resurface when I've already accepted that my feelings won't be reciprocated.

Hay, Kalani! Nababaliw ka na.

I stayed on my bed for 30 minutes before I decided to get ready for our cousins night out. It's been a while since I've been to a club and this is my opportunity to forget about my feelings for Alex, at least for a while.

I took a 20 minute shower and pumping myself up. I wore a black long sleeve turtleneck paired with a black pencil cut leather skirt, and I wore my black Dr. Martens boots. Nagbaon ako ng coat, in case na lamigin ako pauwi mamaya.

Before I go out, I open my laptop to check my emails and messages from school. While I was doing scrolling through some files, a notification popped up from my dummy account.

Spencer: Hey, I just got home. I'll do my homework, so I can't attend to you today.

Me (Astrid): It's okay, magcla-clubbing ako with my cousins tonight.

I was about to close my laptop when another message popped up. Hindi ko naituloy ang pagsara at binuksan muli ito para tingnan ang mensahe.

Spencer: Which club?

I immediately typed in.

Me (Astrid): Club Republic

Spencer: Alright, have fun.

Hindi na ako nag-reply at sinara na ang aking laptop. Nagpaalam ako sa aking mga magulang na pupunta ako ng club at doon na lang makitulog kina Kenneth, I need to drink until I die tonight.

My cousin Michael picked me up, then we went to fetch the others. We are complete tonight; Jazley, Kennet, Michael, Josh, Solene, and Me. We carpooled all the way to the club and right when we get there, nagtungo kami sa pina-reserve na VIP table ni Kenneth. Girls came flocking onto Kenneth, Michael, and Josh right after we ordered our drinks. Jazely the classic party girl, eventually went out to the dance floor to fish out some interesting men that she would dump after. Solene and I behaved ourselves until our drinks are served.

I chug a shot of tequila and eventually I felt my throat burn after that. We are starting to have fun and played multiple games, Jazely lost every bet, and we made her promise that she would treat all of us to a vacation in La Union. She complained, but didn't have a choice since she lost the game.

We were laughing about how Josh tripped while dancing with a girl on the dance floor when my phone suddenly ring. I feel lazy picking it up, so I just let it rang. I was feeling dizzy when Michael suggested that we should sober ourselves to a convenience store near the club.

We all agreed. Michael drove us since he's the only who's close to sober. Nang makarating kami, Michael ordered us hot chocolate. Jazley complained about sobering up too soon, si Solene namumulang tahimik lamang, habang si Josh at Kenneth nag-uusap at nag-iiyakan tungkol sa kanilang mga bigong love life. While there's me, still can't shake about what happened earlier afternoon with Alex.

In a few moments, I'll probably explode. If I'm sober, I can still hold myself together, but I'm not. Calm yourself Kalani!

"Kal, can you please tell Michael that he should fucking take me back to the club?" Jazley said, drunkenly.
