"ANO ka ba, this is Matte and waterproof, non-transferrable din so you don't need to worry about your shirt getting stains and—what kind of shirt is that even?"

I placed my earbuds as I watched Yuri put lipstick on Tange's lips. Gusto ko ang shade noon, perfect sa skin tone ni Tange, but what bothers me is that late na kami.

7PM ang usapan namin sa Bistro but here we are at 7:08 still deciding for Tange's outfit. Sa aming lahat si Tange ang pinakamabagal kumilos, that's why we call her Turtle.

Yuri and I can be as early as an hour before the said call time and she would show up an hour later. Andami niya kasing ginagawa sa bahay.

"Try to wear this."

Yuri tossed a white spaghetti strap top with a white cardigan na pinakuha niya sa isa sa mga maids nina Tange. She also accompanied it with a Phthalo-colored trouser, a pair of sneakers, and some accessories. Yuri also chose her bag which is cute for the occasion.

Tange is like the mother of the group but in cases like this, Yuri's the boss.

"Don't I look Horrible Yaa?" Tange asked me as she smiled awkwardly.

"Excuse me? Are you insulting my style?"

Nanlaki ang mata niya bago humarap kay Yuri. Her face's spells apology.

"Oh no Yaa, I didn't—

"Shut up Tange, I was just joking. You look fresh and—"

"Elegant," I said in conclusion as I checked her outfit. Tange looks Classy and also casual, and her bag? Very chic

"Yes, that's the word. Thank you, Cous."

Tange just smiled a little, when she finished making herself comfortable with her outfit. Yuri completed her look with light makeup.

Hinayaan lang naman ni Tange na nakalugay ang buhok niya, she looks very feminine. Yuri and I wore dresses too. As soon as Lucas knocked on the Avellino household, bumababa na kaming tatlo sa grand staircase.

The Avellinos are rich. Their Shipping Company Summer Salt contributes to their immense wealth. Our Family isn't in the same industry so they are kind of richer than us, although our family in general is a bit more influential than them.

"Do you really have to make me wait? Antagal n'yo."

"As if naman naghintay ka nang matagal, hindi ba natulog ka pa?"

"Whatever Yu."

The ride to Spade was a little fast. Ilang minutes lang, nagpapark na agad si Manong Sito ng sasakyan. We were welcomed by Chen sa labas ng Bistro. He confirmed to us na wala si Berry. Inagaw agad ni Lucas ang phone para pagalitan ang huli.

We listed our names in the notebook of the staff as part of their program for tonight.

Napakaingay ng paligid, inaaway ni Lucas si Berry. Chen and Xerxes are making Xhianne cry.

Yella, Yuri and Tange is discussing some things. As always si Yella ang bumabangka, her real name is Aerikka Yella Del Rios, she is Chen's girlfriend whom have eventually become our friend as well.

Napailing ako, antagal nagligawan ni Chen at Yella noon, but here they are now. Happy. I wonder too if I will be able to be that happy in my relationship like the both of them or if I can be brave enough to take the risk of losing Genesis.

Well, Chen risked his time and effort, and chances of meeting other girls in our entire duration in High School because he was so willing to court Yella. Ang hirap noon but maybe it's worth it.
