VODKA [GXG, INTERSEX] (BOOK 1)

Chapter 17

The Socialization Ball is coming up. Next week would be a short break, yes the whole week. That's why nasa mall kami right now naghahanap ng gagamitin namin para hindi na namin problemahin while having a short vacation.

"Sino escort mo sa ball?" I asked her.

"Wala, hindi naman mandatory, duh. Eh ikaw, did Vodka already ask you?"

"No, I don't even know if pupunta yun. Honestly, I'm not really looking forward to it," I admitted, my voice dropping to a low murmur. "Anyway, after this, let's visit Dusk. Hindi pa rin daw siya gumigising according to Tita Selene." I sighed.

Luna's face fell. "I missed Dusk na," she pouted, her eyes filled with worry.

Nandito na kami ngayon sa room ni Dusk, after namin makakuha ng mga gamit sa mall. Si Tita Selene naman umalis muna at pumunta sa company, sinama na rin niya si baby Vaughn.

Sleeping beauty pa rin si Dusk.

"Our graduation is around the corner, makakaabot pa ba si Dusk. Mukhang matatagalan ka pa sa pagpapanggap mo, Dawn, hangga't hindi pa nagigising si Dusk. Kinakaya mo pa ba si Vodka?"

Hindi na.

"Kaya pa, syempre ako pa ba."

"Speaking of graduation, diba ikaw ang papalit kay Tita Selene? Taray magiging CEO sa Morningstar Publishing Company in just a few months."

"How about you, after grad?" I asked her.

"Since walang board ang course natin, I'll undergo ProfEd." She replied, her face lighting up with excitement.

"Ohh, so you're going to teach English Language pala ha?" I asked with amusement.

"Yes, future terror teacher, inspiration ko si Ma'am Broque. Gagamit din ako ng tactics with pa 5-point Likert scale pa sa grading system. Magiging strikto sa lahat, gusto ko yung nanginginig din yung mga students pagkapasok ko palang." Tumawa siya ng parang villain.

"Hmm, hindi mo bagay maging terror, masyado kang mabait." I commented.

Luna's passion for teaching was admirable, but I couldn't imagine her as a stern, intimidating teacher.

She rolled her eyes, "Duh, kapag ako sinagad..." she trailed off, her voice dropping to a playful whisper.

"Hindi ka pa naman kasi nasasagad." I added.

We both paused at what I said, "Hoy! Tumahimik ka nga, pareho lang tayong virgin no. Or wait, am I wrong? Baka mamaya nasa mission mo na rin pala ang matira ni Vodka?"

"Ikaw ang tumahimik diyan, yang bibig mo ha! Nahahawa ka na talaga sa dalawa." I said, trying to deflect her teasing. I felt a wave of heat rise in my cheeks, but I tried to play it off casually.

"Pero, yung totoo? May nangyari na ba sa inyo ni Vodka?" She smirked at me.

I rolled my eyes at her, "I would never! Sira-ulo ka ba, Luna? Why would I have sex with my twin sister's ex, na ama ng aking pamangkin?"

"Ohh, ikama mo, I mean, ikalma mo. Ikalma mo, Dawn." Makakasabunot ata ako ngayon ng tao.

"Pag hindi talaga kita pinsan, Luna. Sinasabi ko sayo, kanina ka pang nakahiga na rin sa hospital bed." I crossed my arms.

"Geez, katakot ka naman. Oo na, heto na, tatahimik na po. Pero pahabol lang, hindi ka pa ba nahuhulog sa kanya?"

"I-"

Biglang may kumatok ng malakas sa pintuan, ako na ang nagbukas. Sina Jacinto and Apollo, may dalang mga balloons and stuffed animals.

"Nagbabardagulan ba kayong dalawa? Kanina pa kami katok ng katok pero yung boses niyong nagbabangayan ang naririnig namin." Jacinto said.
