AUGUST 8 - shirlengtearjerky's CYOA Series (1st Part)

Hi! Ito po ang first part ng Choose Your Own Adventure series ko. Meaning, you get to decided kung ano ang magiging flow ng story (thru voting). For the first wave, and featured pairing ay sina Andreau Cortez and Zade Pascual from my story, The Spaces In Between. Hindi niyo naman kailangang mabasa ang TSIB para maintindihan 'to. This is set in an alternate universe :)Basically, eto ang plot ng CYOA series na 'to: you're a celebrity who just broke up and i tweeted you a selfie with the caption "date me" as a joke but you thought i was serious?" au.

Attached sa post na 'to ang Tumblr link kung saan pwede kayong bumoto para sa susunod na mangyayari sa story :)

CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE 1: Of Drunk Tweets and Date Invitations

The only thing Andreau felt when he woke up was this hard and rough pounding inside his head, strategically hitting everything: his brain cells, his medulla oblongata, his skull.. his.. pretty much everything.

To say he has a massive headache was a complete understatement.

Andreau groaned, burying his face into the nearest pillow he could grab. Nang mapansin niyang throw pillow ito at hindi ang paborito niyang unan, he immediately threw it away, causing his head to hit the floor.

He slowly opened his eyes. Bumungad sa kanya ang kaunting ilaw na galing sa bintana, at napamura na lang siya.

What the fuck happened to him last night?

Oh, right. Graduation nga pala niya kahapon.

Natapos na rin ang apat na taon na puno ng puyat, pagod, pagmemorya ng kung anu-anong scientific names ng mga halaman at hayop at paglaklak ng ilang litrong Sting. As of last night, 8:02P<, kasama na si Andreau Cortez sa daan-daang unemployed sa Pilipinas. Kaso saglit lang ang contribution niya sa statistic na 'yon dahil in two months, magiging alipin na siya ng med school.

(Huli na lang lahat para pagsisisihan niya ang pagkua ng BS Biology noong college.)

Dahan-dahan siyang umupo at pinagmasdan ang paligid niya. Nasa sala pala siya ng condo nila. To be more specific, sa sahig ng condo nila. The awful taste of alcohol and saliva lingered inside his mouth. Doon lang niya naalala ang highlights the previous night.

He'd been drunk, and based on the pain he's feeling, he'd been really really drunk and had enjoyed every single moment of it.

(Isang semester niyang tiniis ang alcohol. Ayun, bumawi rin siya ng one semester worth of booze last night.)

Sigurado siya na dito sila nag-inom ng barkada niya kagabi, pero tumambad sa kanya ang sobrang linis na sala. He then concluded na baka ang Kuya Roldan niya ang naglinis ng lahat ng kalat kagabi. Expected na niya 'yon sa kuya niya, being their family's neat freak.

Grabbing his phone from the center table, mabagal na naglakad si Andreau papuntang kitchen para magtimpla ng kape. 1 PM na sa orasan nila, so ni-reheat na lang niya ang pizza sa ref for his lunch.

Binuksan niya ang wifi sa phone niya, completely ignoring the text messages he'd received yesterday. Puro congratulations! Lang naman ang laman non, ayaw niyang mag-aksaya ng oras at load para replyan silang lahat ng thank you.

As always, chineck niya muna ang Twitter niya at agad pumunta sa profile ni @SuperheroFeed for some news. Nabawasan na ang sakit ng ulo niya dahil sa amoy ng kape, pero unti-unti ring bumalik dahil sa sunud-sund na pagtunong ng cellphone niya. He almost threw his phone in frustration.
