Game Play

Chapter 1

"Game na Eam. TRUTH or DARE" pangungulit sakin ni Tres na ngiting ngiti pa ang labi.

Ewan ko ba bakit ako sumali sa kalokohang ito. I raised my brows and looked at them. I actually don't want to play this nonsense game but they still insisted and included me in the game. Since there's still a lot of time before our next class and to be honest I don't also have a choice but to join them.

"Dare" Tinatamad na sambit ko. Napairap na lang ako sa pare parehas nilang expression. Sabay sabay pa nga silang napatingin sa akin dahil sa sagot ko. Ang OA naman nila. What do we expect? They couldn't even command me to do things for them so this is an opportunity for them to do so.

"Dare daw oh tif" wika ni Kiel na nakatingin kay tiffany. Mukang may masama na naman silang binabalak. It was like they are thinking about the same dare. They are also smiling playfully at me. I gazed at them but they only laughed. What the fuck. If only I was not scared of being alone in this fucking school then I would not befriend them, Kidding aside. Well, it's been almost 3 years tho and among all those people around me, they're kinda fit to be my friends. They are funny, cute, and trusted. Their personality is something that awes me and how they can tolerate my attitude. 

"okay..."  Tiff said while exchanging sight with kiel. They grinned like an evil.

"Tell tyler that you like him" di na ako nagulat na sabay sabay pa silang nagsabi nun. Napairap nalang ako at napabuga sa hangin. I think they really planned out this truth or dare thing. For the whole 3 years, they only hear me say bad things about Tyler and how I am so irritated by him. Thank God next school year, defense paper and internship nalang kami kunting time ko nalang makikita pagmumukha niya. I'm very annoyed by his presence. He is so boastful and bossy. Fuck him. He is the reason why I'm being provoked by my family. Smart ass my face. He's definitely scheming that's why he's always getting straight A's. Another reason is their family's company is competing with our sales that's why my dad hates me because even in school we were being outsmarted by them or, maybe dad just hated me. Whatever. I'm so used to it.

I looked at them and rolled my eyes. Why him. Bakit di nalang si dylan. They know whether I like dylan or not. I think I told them and I always compliment Dylan and why he's friends with Tyler. Well he's attractive and kind that's why I have a slight crush on him but he doesn't know. I'm planning to have a confession but not really a confession but to only compliment him directly.

"Do it eam, The that eam we know doesn't have a word back out on her dictionary" Tres said and playfully played with her hair, she even smirked.

"Fine!" Tumayo ako tsaka nag buntong hininga. It will not be a big deal since dare will always be a dare. Tumalikod ako sa kanila at nagsimulang naglakad papalapit sa table nila dylan. I don't know why I'm so nervous. It is because dylan is looking at me? or is it because this will be the very first confrontation between me and Tyler and it has to be this way. It will be the first time I'll be talking to/approaching him first after three years. Well except from debates in class and irritating situations where we are exchanging different perspectives.

Nung nasa tapat na ako ng table nila nagtataka nila akong tinignan ng mga kaibigan niya. I'm not a fckn coward but I really can't do this. Tumalikod ako at magsisimula na sanang maglakad palayo sa kanila nang bigla akong tawagin ni Dylan. Oh my dylan, what a sweet voice you have.

"Eam, may sasabihin ka ba?" He asked. Napapikit ako ng mariin tsaka kinagat ang gilid ng labi ko bago ako umikot ulit paharap sa kanila.

"Hi!" I wave my hand at them. I slowly put it down when I realized how awkward it is. I composed myself and then stand confidently in front of them.
