It's the first week of December. Since we're done with our exams, I thought River and the others would set another house party for Rio Grande students. My expectation was far from what we actually did.

Nag-byahe kami papunta sa isang masukal na gubat. Our circle went on a camping, and it's my new discovery that Fortune Seven were also fond of embracing the nature.

"We're here!" said Oswald who led our way.

"Dito na tayo?" tanong ni Westley.

"Hindi ba delekado dito?" tanong ko habang nakatingin sa ilog na sampung metro ang layo sa amin.

"Oo nga, paano kung tumaas ng tubig habang tulog tayo?"tanong muli ni Westley.

"Stop overthinking," said Daven. "We've been doing this every year."

"Every year?" I asked.

"Huwag ka ng magtanong," sabi ni River na nakatayo sa aking likuran. "Let's start setting up our tent."

I felt quite offended by his tone, but I recalled that we're hiding the truth about our relationship, so acting cold to me in front of the others was reasonable.

"Boys, just look for some wood and do the bonfire," said Alex. "Kaming girls na ang bahala sa tent."

"Okay," said Oswald. "Let's go boys!"

Sumunod na ang mga lalaki sa kanya. After a moment, I realized that I was one of the boys, so I ran and followed them as well. Daven noticed me and stopped on his track.

"What are you doing here?" he asked, which made the other boys stopped from walking.

"Hmm? Tutulong na kumuha ng kahoy at gumawa ng bonfire," sagot ko.

Nagpalitan naman ng tingininan ang mga lalaki. I didn't know what they meant by exchanging glances, but it's quite offensive on my part.

"Ang sabi ni Alex, mga boys daw," bwelta ni Daven.

"Huy!" Oswald tapped him.

Daven blinked in realization, thinking that his statement was quite offensive. "Sorry. Ang ibig kong sabihin ay pwede ka namang maiwan kasama ang girls."

"Oo nga," dagdag naman ni Oswald. "Kami na ang bahala dito."

"Mukha bang hindi ko kayang gumawa ng mabibigat na trabaho dahil bakla ako?" tanong ko.

I tried not to appear offended, but my words clearly conveyed what I truly felt. The boys exchanged looks again, as if they were talking with their minds.

"Clay," called Westley. "Hindi naman siguro gano'n ang ibig nilang sabihin."

Harris sighed with a heavy sound, which caught everyone's attention. "You know what guys, you're making the situation more complicated. Bakit kasi hindi niyo na lang sabihin sa kanya?"
