The Campus Queen Bee That Used To Be Us

Chapter 6

Someone enjoyed the kiss

♕

I just followed Leanne. Unlike on a regular day, kakaiba ang vibe ng mansion nila ngayon. It felt so scary—I don't know.

We entered her dim room and went straight to her walk-in closet. I just stood here, digging up some clothes in the darkness. It seems like she doesn't have any plans to turn on the lights. Thankfully, the moon gives us enough light coming from this big window, or else we would be screaming in pitch black.

Humarap na siya sa'kin nang may mahanap na siyang damit. It's a black crop top, a black jacket, pink baggy pants, and black heels.

Natigilan ako. "Oh, I can't wear those."

She rolled her eyes. "Fuck, I forgot you're not THAT confident to wear this kind of fit."

What does she mean by that? Ugh. "Yeah..."

"Just try it! There's no harm in first times!" Mas lalo niyang inilapit ang mga hawak.

Well, that's right and convincing. Napabuntong hininga ako na tinanggap na ito.

"Yey! It would look so good on you!" Napalakpak pa siya sa tuwa. She then grabbed my wrist again to lead me into her bathroom.

Pumasok na ako at binuksan ang ilaw rito. Kahit ang banyo niya ay maluwag. Parang kasing luwag na ito ng kwarto, and I'm not even exaggerating. Amoy na amoy sa paligid ang isang fresh lavender scent.

Binilisan ko ang pagbihis. Kinakabahan ako. Baka biigla nalang buksan ni Leanne ang pinto. No, no, no what! Daha-dahan kong iminulat ang aking mga mata nang makaharap na sa salamin. Napangiti ako. It looks good on me, kahit papaano. I don't like how my tummy looks, but it's not that bad. I think.

I gently opened the door na. Leanne's presence appeared immediately. She seems bored, or whatever. Natagalan ba ako?

"Bagay ba?" I hesitantly asked.

Her face lit up, and then she just started going crazy. Like, the loudest and most unhinged one I've ever witnessed. "Oh, wow, I mean, bagay naman. Ang ganda!"

"Really? Ba't ka natawa?"

"Oh, wala lang. It's just that—it's my first time seeing you in this! Nothing else!" She assured me.

Tumango ako. "Uh, saan ko pala ilalagay 'yung mga damit ko?" Ipinakita ko ito ang kanina ko pa hawak.

"Iwan mo nalang d'yan, papatapon ko nalang! That is a disaster!" Bago pa man siya matapos ay naglakad nalang siya bigla sa direksyon ng veranda.

I went back to the bathroom, placing my clothes properly somewhere nice. I found Leanne's figure outside the veranda. Getting closer to her, I noticed she's just standing beside the railing and seems to be drinking something. It's alcohol.

Ang lamig dito. Tinabihan ko laang siya na malayo ang tingin sa kung saan. May kataasan at tago ng puno kaya kahit kita ang pool area ay hindi pa rin mapapansin kung sa baba titingnan. Lalo na ngayon at gabi.

"God, I can't believe I'm already nineteen. Time does fly so fast." She then handed me another bottle of that alcohol.

"Oh, I don't drink," I waved my hand.

"Yeah, and I'm still a virgin."

I frowned. "What do you mean?"

Natawa siya at nilingon ako. "Oh, I thought we were telling lies."

Oh, that explained it. Wala na akong nnagawa at hinawakan na ang bote. I don't know what kind of drink this is—it's pink and glossy, though. It's true, I never drank my whole life. I guess, there's always a first time.
