Bloodlust

Chapter 1

     Life gives so many options for you to choose. Every option given to you, can bring you different result and to different path. It was all a matter of ABCD's, just like all the multiple choice test you have taken in you entire life. Choose the right one, then your off to go. Choose the wrong one, then take all the consequences to either accept your failure or find a way to erase it and correct your own mistake.

    You can't take letter D because simply it was the most selfish option to grab. You can have the "All of the above" or "None of the above" track, but truth to be told, we are not allowed to take or leave all from behind. It will just give you more responsibility and pain in the ass. There will be only one option that must be taken. Only. One.

     When I was still a kid, choices gave me so much happiness coz I still don't know any of consequences that I might face. I'll just choose the best one without even thinking of any regret on my own decision. Yeah, fck that innocence. It can bring you no harm or danger.

     Little did I know that having too many options can be this frustrating. Gosh, I really don't know what to choose. My parents gave me so much options on what to do and where to go after I graduated from my former highschool.

     "Saan ka na pupulutin niyan?" Tulad na lang ngayon, naguguluhan na ako kung saan ako magpapatuloy ng pag-aaral. Sa dinami-dami ng napag-aaplyan ko, wala pang lumalabas na resulta. Kahit ni-iisa. So I've come up with a decision to grab the first school to send me a confirmation for my enrollment.

     "Beats me, I don't have any idea." kunot-noo kong sagot. Eenie meanie? Nope, it won't do.

     "Why don't you consider handling your family's company? Tutal hindi mo naman na kailangang pag-aralan yun since you're already trained to take over it anyway." Suhestiyon niya.

     "Naah, I want to pursue my own dream Hailey." pagtanggi ko sa pinsan ko.

     "Eh yun naman pala eh, maghintay ka na lang resulta ng mga applications mo sa mga Arts School."

     "No choice though." pagsuko ko.

     "Kaysa tumunganga ka dito sa kwarto mo, samahan mo na lang ako sa mall. Gusto kong mag-arcade, libre ko. Nanalo ako sa pustahan namin ni Nate, so I asked for a unlimited load for my timezone card." pagmamayabang niya. Nate is my bestfriend anyway.

     "Okay then. Tell me, ano na namang kabobohan ang ginawa niyong dalawa?" Pang-iintriga ko sa kanya. Bigla naman siyang humagalpak sa tawa.

     "Pagsabihan mo yang gago na yun, wag na wag niya na akong hamunin sa mga dare niya. He dared me if I can make a commotion at the mall, so I did. I pretended to be pregnant with his own baby tapos pinagsisigaw ko na ayaw niya akong panagutan." She said while patting her stomach.

     "What the hell." Tangi kong naisambit.

     "Kung nakita mo lang yung reaction niya, it was priceless dude." So that explains why Nate was being teased by his friends.

     It must be very funny since his plan to win that dare backfired to him. And oh, Hailey by the way lost her sanity since her birth. Kapag pinagsama mo ang dalawang yan, mapagkakamalan mong sinukuan na ng mental institute sa panggagamot.

     "So what happened next?" Urging her to continue her babbling. The bitch suddenly blushed. Fishy.

     "Aa-ah, ayun talo siya. Oo, tapos wala na." Nauuta-utal niyang bulong.

     "Sigurado ka? Wala na talaga?"

     "Wala na nga! Nagwalk-out lang siya, tapos I apologized for the commotion I did. Saka ko inamin sa mga nanunuod ng joke lang yun. Duh, as if I'm going to have sexual intercourse with your bestfriend!" She whined.
