Chapter 6

Athalia's POV

"Fuck Fernan..." I growled, arching my back.

"Don't move senyora," he comanded.

"Damn.... fuck.... fuck..." I shouted, wincing in pain.

"Done!"

"Ah.... fuck you." I groaned.

"Welcome!" he beamed and I raised my middle finger at him.

I was puffing my cigarettes when Iraia, Anastasia, and Amaris suddenly approached the round table I am sitting.

"Woah! You got your lips and brows pierced?!" gulat na sabi ni Iraia habang nakatingin sa'kin.

Both Amaris and Anastasia leaned over the table narrowing their eyes as they stare at me.

Walang emosyon ko silang tinignan bago kalaunan ngumisi.

I took one last puff of cigarette before throwing it away.

"Bagay ba?" I asked them, crossing my arms over my chest and leaned back in the chair.

"Damn, you looked so hot Athalia!"

"Luluhuran kita beh,"

"Mommy....?" I laughed at their reaction.

"Grabe nagquiz kami kanina, muntik na ako malowest dahil surprise quiz!" reklamo ni Iraia.

"Sabi naman kasi sa'yo eh, always ka mag review. Para kapag may surprise quiz, hindi ka na boyka." paalala sa kanya ni Anastasia.

"Ihhhh, ayoko." sagot naman nito.

"May nakita ako dito sa tiktok oh. Sabi daw 'Don't date nonchalant guys, because they will silently ruin you.'" pagbasa ni Amaris na may halong pagpaparinig.

Halos natigilan kaming lahat at lumingon kay Iraia na kunwareng nagcecellphone.

Tinignan niya kami at kunwareng nagulat, sabay hawak pa sa invisible cleavage niya.

"Ako po? I'm listening to Blind by Sza." ngumiti siya ng matamis bago nag iwas ng tingin.

I heard Amaris sigh and Anastasia just shrugged.

"Uhm... Tiffany seems off lately." Amaris.

"Yeah, simula ng magpasukan hindi na siya nakikipag usap sa atin. May problema ba?" nagtatakang tanong ni Iraia.

"Grabe naman. These past few weeks lang pansin ko din." nag-aalalang saad ni Anastasia

"Maybe she's isolating herself? Personal problems?" depensa ni Anastasia.

"Personal eh halos nga ako tarayan kanina sa hallway! Naggreet lang ako pero nabingi siya at hindi ako pinansin!" Iraia scoffed.

"Paano kung namali ka lang ng tingin, Iraia? C'mon she's our friend." Anastasia still defended.

"Friend? Seryoso Asia? Idedefend mo pa 'yan?" iritadong sabi ni Iraia.

"Yes! Let's just wait for her to talk to us, malay mo she's struggling." Anastasia.

"Basta ako mali na pakiramdam ko sa kanya." Iraia murmured.

"Be neutral, Iraia. Let's hear her side. Besides she's still our friend, we made a promise to each other na walang iwanan, magkamatayan man." Amaris lectured Iraia in a motherly tone.

"Whatever, I could just kill her if she dare." bulong ko dahilan para lahat sila mapalingon sa'kin.

"Athalia! Ang pagpatay ay hindi palaging solusyon! Ito talaga, palaging pagpatay nalang!" Amaris glared at me.
