Pagbalik ko ng kwarto ay doon lang lahat nag sink-in sa'kin lahat ng sinabi saakin ni Alias.

He explained it to me. Everything that he noticed. Nung una ay naguguluhan ako pero parang lahat ng sinasabi niya ay nagkakapareho sa nararamdaman ko.

FLASH BACK

"One of your friend is a traitor." Panimula niya.

Mabilis akong nakapag react doon. Nanlaki ang mata ko at bahagyang napasandal sa kinauupuan ko ngayon. I can feel my hand shaking.

It's either I'm mad or I'm nervous. However, I can't name it. But I'm betting on the nervous one.

"Alias, how can you be so sure? What action she did just so you can call her a traitor?" Mahinhin kong tanong dahil ayokong ma-misunderstood niya ang pakay ko.

I need to hear his side.

He placed both of his hand on the top of the table and looked down on it. Hindi ko rin tuloy maiwasang mapatingin doon.

Inangat ko ulit ang mata ko. He was staring at me.

"Remember when we drink with all of your friends and cousins?" He asked.

Yung araw na nagkabati kaming lahat, that's the day when i apologized to them.

"Yes, why?"

He heave an another sigh.

"Faris, hunter, Alexander and me got drunk that night." He said while staring at me deeply.

"Out of us, you knew that our tolerance in alcohol is...high." Pahina ng pahinang sabi niya.

Hindi ako umimik at nanatiling nakatitig lang sakanya. Of course I noticed that pero isinawalang bahala ko na lang.

But he's right. Naniniwala rin ako na sa lahat ng kasama namin noong gabing 'yon ay silang apat ang may pinaka matataas na tolerance sa alak.

"I know that we drank uncountable drinks but... don't you think that it's so odd?" Dagdag niya pa.

This idiot.

Napahilot ako sa sentido ko at napabuntong hininga.

Syempre napansin ko 'yon pero kagaya ng sabi ko, isinawalang bahala ko dahil sobrang rami rin ng inilatag namin doon na mga alak.

"Zi," he called me. Mas itinuon ko ang tingin ko sakanya.

"We tasted some chemicals there."

Parang may kung anong bumalot sa buong katawan ko nang marinig iyon.

Faris, Hunter, Alias and Alexander has the most high tolerance in alcohol but aside from that, they also have a high sharp taste. Meaning, they can taste anything.

"We?" This time ay ako naman ang nagtanong.

He nodded and but his lower lip.

"Four of us talked," his face is serious.

"We found out that we are all the same and I bet that all of boys passed out on that night too,"

My lips parted a little bit.

"Tj...Thayler...and Trev. I'm sure, they passed out that night."

They did...

Hindi ko magawang makapagsalita dahil sa kung anong nararamdaman ko. I was lost, scared, confused and furious. I don't know what should I feel, nalilito ako.
