Chapter 6
Actress
Agad akong binitawan no'ng lalaki at nagmamadaling umalis. Duwag naman pala.
"I just saved your life," he said and smirked.
"No..." I rolled my eyes at him and smiled. "You just saved my virginity."
His eyes widened like he was shocked with what I've said. Like he was taken aback.
Dahil ba sinabi kong virgin pa ako?!
"What? Do you think that because I always party and–"
"No. I would never judge you like that, Xu."
I bit my lips and slowly nodded. "Anyway, thanks."
"Come on... I'll buy you a drink," aniya.
Kaya naman naupo pa kami sa isang gilid. We sat beside each other on a couch. Medyo tahimik na sa bandang iyon ng bar.
"I know you're a good friend, Ocampo... And I just know you wouldn't do Cali like that. So, tell me. What's the catch?"
Napahinto ako sa pag-inom dahil doon. My hand literally froze.
How can someone so far off felt so safe and comfortable? How can someone so distant knew your heart?
Like nobody does?
Ilang segundo bago ako nakabawi at tuluyang ininom ang bacardi sa shot glass.
"Never thought you'd know me like that, Saavedra," sabi ko at nagsalin ulit ng isa pang shot. "For starters, I don't trust Claire and I just know that she had something to do with it."
"And?" Chance sounded so invested.
"Gelo and I, we're kinda befriending her... You know, to get something out of her mouth. I think it would be an enough evidence kung sakaling umamin siya sa amin. Unfortunately, nothing is slipping out and I hate it."
Tumango-tango siya at parang napapaisip din.
"I don't think she'll ever talk. Kailan ba umamin ang may kasalan?"
Sumandal ako sa couch. I just watched the strobing lights while holding a shot glass on my right hand.
"It's really hard."
"Yeah..." Sumandal na rin si Chance.
Agad akong napalingon sa kanya. He's really handsome. Iyong kapogian na alam mong sisirain buong pagkatao mo? Ganoon.
"I know you intently forged that signature in front of the professor," sabi ko habang nakatingin pa rin sa kanya.
Alam kong ginawa niya iyon para malipat sa lower class bilang punishment. At alam kong ginawa niya iyon para kay Cali.
Pogi tapos gagawin ang lahat para sa 'yo? Puta, mine! Mina-mine dapat 'yan, Cali!
But then again, how can I ever question Cali? It's freaking Jax on the other hand! The choices are really choicing! Sana all!
"Never thought you'd know me like that," aniya at inulit ang sinabi ko sa kanya kanina!
Naningkit ang mga mata ko roon.
"I just felt like Cali needed someone there... It's hard enough to be punished. It's even harder when you got no one while being punished."
I just nodded while the alcohol slowly crept through me.
It was another draining lunch time trying to be buddy-buddy with Claire! Ugh! Parang walang pinupuntahan ang ginagawa namin ni Gelo! Parang naiimpatso lang ako lagi! Buti na lang at kinailangan ko na ring mauna dahil may kailangan pa akong gawin sa major class ko. Sumunod din naman si Gelo sa 'kin.
