" I want you to be careful with these. Stay away from police dogs. If you're passing through checkpoints, advise me beforehand. Just try not to get in trouble, you'll be fine. "
I watch her pack the drugs and four bags of syringes, with each having 12 pieces. I still believe these drugs keep me sane. I have been in few episodes without it and I am convinced I get unhinged. I don't want to hurt Lorrie too.
She finally notices me staring blankly at her. Observing without absorbing really. I blink and diverted my gaze.
" The results are contradicting your statements. Your body is not failing like you claim. Though some of your features are modified. "
I gazed into the mirror and studied myself. I still look the same, overall. At least to someone who has seen me recently. What she's saying is, some of my features are modified, like the color of my eyes to be specific. I have the paler shade of brown this time, compared to my dark brown orbs before, they turned to a hazel one with coppery tint. It gets weirder the longer I stare at it. I feel like it ceases to be the meaningful one, like how the eyes are described in poetry and literature. Mine are fake, boring and downright nothing. They dont even feel authentic.
" I don't think it will cause me a big problem though. As long as it stays low key. "
Well as long as it don't change my whole face I guess I can still go on with the drugs right ?
" Of course. They won't notice a thing. "
she gladly replied.
My head always hurt every therapy so I'd like to stay a couple hours in the lab and get some sleep. Dahil nakapag pahinga na nga ako ng ilang oras ay ibinigay na nga ni Lorrie ang mga gamot sa akin.
I got out from bed and stretch a bit. Tiningnan ko ang oras at pasado ala siete na ng gabi. I came here eight in the morning.
" Zack told me to come with him to district 11. It's the birthday of those Valente twins. Zack said you'll probably be there too. "
Napalingon ako sa kanya habang inu unat pa rin ang mga braso ko. I really thought about that too. Prominent families are gonna be there. The Valentes are without a doubt, has an established name in metropolitan. Naisip ko na talaga nung una pa lang na hindi mga ordinaryong bisita ang naroroon. Well aside from MCSL people, which is mostly Lanercost anyway, Big names will be there too. And who knows what other social gathering this billionaire and his lover are attending. Sa totoo lang ay wala naman talaga akong dapat ikatakot sa kung sino man ang mga bisita roon. Pero maganda na rin na alam ko kung sino ang mga pwede kong makita sa araw na ito.
" Henderson told you that ? Actually I was not invited by neither of the twins. Tiana did. Well, I think it's a normal thing for them. I'm good friends with Alvior though. I can say I have a good friendship with the Valentes so maybe that's why Tiana invited me, and the whole team. I'm just going because I got invited. Why did you ask ? "
" I know you're close friends with that Valente girl, so I really think she would invite you and you'll be there. "
" Yea' I think I have to. It's hard to refuse such family right ? "
I slightly shook my head and smirk. I don't know about them, but to me, since I have been invited by Tiana, I think I should just go anyway. Ayaw kong isipin nanaman nila na masyado akong pa importante.
" Well, I have never been invited personally by the Valentes. It's my dad. In other occassions, Zack was the one invited and I was just there to accompany him. I barely know people from those big families but I am familiar with their faces. I tend to see few of them in events too. Actually, may isang beses na event na akong napuntahan with the Valentes being the host. It's a birthday party too, but with a Valente girl. Not your friend though. An older Valente girl. I'm with my family. Zack is there too. That was several years ago, six maybe. "
