HUES OF YOU
- Chapter 01 -
Mabilis kong ininom ang baso ng alak na iniabot sa'kin. I chug it all the way down as the people around me cheer. Itinaas ko ang baso nang maubos ko na at mas lalong lumakas ang sigaw sa paligid.
"Grabe talaga, Artemis!" Klowi laughed. Nakaharap sa'kin ang camera niya kaya nag-posing ako.
Nandito kami sa debut party ng isa naming kaklase. It's the after party kaya nag-iinuman ang lahat.
"Beh, dahan-dahan naman. May pasok pa tayo tom!" Inagaw ni Leyna ang bote ng black label na hawak ko.
"Hey that's mine! Wag mo aagawin ang hindi sayo!" Akusa ko bago hinablot pabalik ang bote.
Leyna burst out laughing. "Tangina, lasing na ba 'to?"
Klowi shook her head. "Mataas alcohol tolerance n'yan. Hayaan mo na, sis. Broken hearted si gaga e,"
Matalim ko siyang tiningnan. I suddenly remembered something. Then tears started to fall from my eyes.
"Hala umiiyak na si Art," Ang kanina pang tahimik lang na nakaupong si Selene ay nilapitan ako. Nanlaki ang mga mata nina Klowi at Leyna. They panicked when they saw me crying hysterically.
"I hate you!" I said to Klowi. Tinuro niya ang sarili, naguguluhan sa nangyayari. "I was drinking to forget pero naalala ko na naman si John because of you! How could he do that to me ha? Ang panget panget niya nga! How dare that asshole cheat on me with that micro bangs girl ha! Siya ba nag gupit ng bangs niya cuz it's honestly not pantay! Ang panget ng taste ni John! How dare that motherfucker!"
"Tangina, nagsisimula na naman siya," Leyna shook her head. "Tawagan ko na ba kapatid niyan?"
"Artemis, say hi!" Tinapat pa ni Klowi ang camera niya sa mukha ko. I reached for her hair and pulled it. "Ouch! I was just vlogging! Ang buhok ko naman e,"
"I hate you Klowi! And you too, Leyna! Ikaw ang nagreto sa'kin sa John na 'yun! It's entirely your fault!"
Leyna's eyes widened. "Luh, bakit nadamay ako?"
"Art, tahan na," Selene handed me her handkerchief.
I hugged Selene while crying. "Thank you, Sel. You're the most maaasahan friend ever. I love you so much!"
"Grabe paano naman kami?" pagdadrama ni Leyna. Inirapan ko lang siya. "Tawagan ko ba si Kuya Eros?"
Umiling ako. "Let's party pa! I love drinking! Alcohol is my best friend!"
"Mama mo," Leyna scoffed. "Umupo ka na muna at mag sober up. Oh eto," She handed me a bottle of pocari sweat.
"Hey, Artemis," Sabay-sabay kaming napatinggin sa lalaking lumapit sa table namin. Oh, I know him! He's a senior. "Para sayo," He handed me a paperbag. Then, I saw his eyes looking at my body.
Tsk. That look of lust.
I was wearing a red silk sleeveless top paired with black miniskirt. My hair's up in a high-ponytail, defining my face pretty well. People often told me that my face and body is a real catch. I think I'm blessed with huge breasts and hourglass figure. Sabi nila ang ganda raw ng katawan ko. It's a catch lalo na sa edad namin. I'm just 16!
"Thanks for this," I gave him a smile. He licked his lips.
Target locked. Alam ko na ang susunod niyang sasabihin. I'm sure hihingin na niya number ko.
"Can I get your number?"
Napangisi ko. I kew it. Galawan nila pare-pareho.
I gave him what he wanted then he left. Napailing-iling ang mga kaibigan ko.
