"Sh*t! Mikhs!"

Ate Colet immediately ran to me and pulled me back by hugging my waist after I punched this shameless guy in front of me.

Natumba sya after ko syang sapakin sa panga. And I was about to punch him again when Ate Colet stopped me. He's holding his jaw while sitting on the floor.

Ate Jovi left already after nyang sabihin na we have a visitor. She knew what will happen next so she decided to leave agad.

I'll just talk to her later.

"You! Ang kapal ng mukha mo to show yourself in here!?" I angrily shouted at him. "I had warned you already not to show yourself in front of me because I will not hesitate to kill you, you bastard!

I'm sure he forced to get himself in here. Ate Jovi knows I forbid him to come and enter in this house.

I tried to get out of Ate Colet but she just tighten his arms on me.

"Mikhs, stop. Remember may mga kasama tayo dito." Bulong nya sa tenga ko. "Kumalma ka."

And that's when I realize that the other girls are still here. I turned my head to look at them and they all look shocked of what I did.

Kahit sino naman magugulat dahil sa ginawa ko. Tsk! Stupid move, Mikhs.

I shut my eyes and took a deep breath to calm my self down.

"Leave." I said firmly and glared at him. "Leave before I changed my mind. Alis!!"

Nagmamadali naman syang bumangon mula sa pagkakaupo nya at tumakbo paalis. Sinundan ko lang sya ng tingin hanggang sa mawala na sya ng tuluyan sa paningin ko.

Dun lang ako binitawan ni Ate Colet since alam nyang wala naman akong balak na sundan ang tarantadong lalaking yun.

I closed my eyes and paulit-ulit akong huminga ng malalim para kumalma ako ng tuluyan.

"Uh, if you don't mind me asking... s-sino yung guy na dumating?" I heard ate Aiah asked.

"Ah, hehe. W-Wala yun. Wag nyo na lang pansinin." Sagot ni Ate Colet bago ako tinapik sa balikat kaya napamulat ako at tumingin sa kanya. "Tara na. May lalaruin pa tayo."

Tumango lang ako at sabay na kaming bumalik sa pwesto namin kasama nung girls. Medyo awkward pa yung atmosphere pero binasag din naman kaagad ni Staks.

"Okay, balik tayo sinasabi ko kaninang game na lalaruin natin. But I changed my mind na. Instead na three pairs ang maglalaro, two pairs na lang———but! May but, ah! But, each pair has three members. It will be, Team Papi versus Team Kikay. Sheena and Ate Gwenny cannot join us, alam nyo naman kung bakit. So, Ate Gwenny, ikaw na lang magplay ng music, okay?" Stacey said and Gwen just nodded at her.

She handed us a 1 whole piece of manila paper and instructed us to open it and put it on the floor.

Parang walang nangyari, ah? Hmm.

"I don't know if familiar kayo sa game na 'to, but I will still explain it para magets ng lahat. Okay, listen to the instruction, ah. Okay, as you can see, parehong 1 whole sheet of manila paper ang gagamitin natin. Ang gagawin natin is, nasa labas tayo lahat ng paper———like this." Pinakita nya yung gagwin sa amin at sinunod naman namin. "Ayan. Ang gagawin natin is, iikot-ikot tayo sa paper habang sumasayaw. Magpi-play si Ate Gwenny ng song and then kapag ini-stop nya yung music, each group will step on the paper. Dapat walang paang makakaapak sa floor kasi automatic talo."
