Sins of the Rebels (Lush Trans Series #1)

Kabanata 1

"Seven months lang naman kayo, Serena. I'm sure you'll forget him, he doesn't deserve a second chance from you kaya 'wag ko lang malalaman na nakipagbalikan ka sa kanya. You never know kung ano ang ginawa nila bago mo sila nahuli," Sabi ko habang nag-susuklay ng buhok. Napa-mura pa ako nang sumabit ito. Ang sakit sa anit! Shemay.

"Bobo ka! Bakit kasi brush ang gamit mo? Talagang mag-tangle ang hair mo niyan. Tanga ka talaga kahit kailan."

Ngumuso ako. Ang sakit mag-salita ng bitch na 'to, ha? Kung batohin ko kaya siya nitong brush na hawak ko ngayon para matauhan na siya na wala ng matinong lalaki sa panahon ngayon, kumpara noon? Gosh, bakit ba kasi hindi nalang muna siya makuntento sa single life? Ang saya kaya maging single! Walang problema, walang sakit sa ulo at walang iisipin!

Kakatapos ko lang maligo habang siya ay naka-higa sa kama ko at yakap-yakap ang malaking teddy bear na regalo niya sa akin last year. I just told her I wanted something big when she asked me what I wanted for a birthday gift and she gave me a human-sized teddy bear, which was funny but also sweet because she did not even bother wrapping the teddy bear. Basta nalang niya ibinigay sa akin sa XYLO. Oo, sa uptown kami nag-celebrate.

Syempre, ginastusan ako ng mga kaibigan ko at nagdagdag lang ako ng kaunti. Ayaw ko kasing gumastos at sila naman itong may gusto na i-celebrate ang birthday ko.

She tsked. Inirapan niya ako habang siya ay nangungulangot. "I know that, Reese. I should've seen this coming. He's from Ateneo and I genuinely think that he's different from the guys I had a relationship with before," Napa-iling nalang ako. Sa aming dalawa ay siya talaga ang mabilis ma-attached sa mga lalaking nagugustohan niya, sa mga nakaka-relasyon niya. I guess that's how endearing she is as a person.

Nginiwihan ko siya at tinuro ang tissue box na naka-patong sa bedside table ko, baka kung saan pa niya ipahid ang kulangot niya. Gross!

"You better stop being serious with these straight men, Serena. Did you two have sex already—"

"Hindi naman 'yan kasi maiiwasan, we're in a relationship, Reese... of course, we already did it..." She said in a small voice and couldn't look at me straight in the eye. Tsk!

Agad naman siyang naka-bawi at muli akong hinarap. Tinaasan niya ako ng kilay. "He's my boyfriend, Reese. And besides, it's only normal to have sex with your partner, samantalang 'yong iba kahit walang relasyon pero ginagawa 'yon." She arched her left brow at me.

"Don't tell me you didn't do it with the men you have dated with before—"

"I didn't do the deed yet, Serena. I only make out with them, that's it. Hindi pa ako kinantot, ano?" I said proudly and arrogantly. I smirked at her. She smirked too before rolling her eyes.

"Talaga? Wala pang nangyari sa inyo nung David na ex-boyfriend mo—"

Iritado na akong umungot at pinutol siya. "Wait? Bakit napunta na sa akin ang topic? My sex life has nothing to do with this! At oo, hindi pa namin ginawa ni David 'yon! Ang bata pa namin no'n!"

She snorted like a pig. "You were the one who opened up this topic, bitch. I was just saying. Gosh? I lost my virginity nga when I was sixteen."

"That's you, aga mo kasing lumandi."

She shrugged her shoulders. "Given, so just wait until you experience it with the man of your dreams, virgin bitch." She said sarcastically and insultingly. Nginiwihan ko siya.

Man of my dreams?

What the hell?

"Man of my dreams, my ass... that would never happen... sa dildo ko nalang siguro ibibigay ang virginity ko," I laughed like a witch.
