When the Eagle Lost it's Way

Chapter 2: Frustrations

Alyssa

"Well that was intense" I said to Kiefer. We are now driving back to Katipunan.

We left Eastwood as soon as Mika and Alfred left the cinema.

He's been quiet since they left. And he's been holding this filthy jacket he picked up from the cinema's garbage can.

"Kief, I could always buy you a new jacket if you like"

Still, he's not answering me.

"By the way Kief, Tito Boy wants us to come together sa launch ng UAAP mag. He thinks fans would like that"

Then again, he's still all eyes on the road.

I feel terrible when he's like this. He is the most adorable and cheerful man I know. It hurts me seeing him as quiet as this.

"Mika and Alfred looks cute together. Do you think they're going out?"

And that's it. The car stopped. The engine stopped.

Kiefer looked at me.

"We're here"

I looked around. Nasa condo na pala ako.

I smiled brightly.

"I'll see you tomorrow Kief. Take care"

I'm smiling. But I'm hurting, Kief.

Mika

"TengEna niya friend. He is still the most pa-fall guy I've ever met! Akala mo he's so gwapo para maging pa-fall. Eh wala pa nga yun sa kalingkingan ni Dj!"

I drank another glass while ranting all my heartaches with my Lings.

They are all staring at me blankly. Including si Alfred. He insisted to come with me. Baka daw kasi magpakamatay ako.

Hello? Suicide? Masyado akong maganda para magpakamatay. Maraming iiyak no!

"Ano? Ako lang ba magsasalita dito? Helllllooooo guys. Earth to!"

I said as I drank another glass.

"Mika stop it. Ang dami mo ng nainom" Pigil ni Nice sa akin.

"Ano ba Nice! Don't stop me. Hindi pa ko lasing"

"Gaga. Hindi ka talaga malalasing. Kahit pa nakaubos ka na ng 3 liters ng Mogu mogu. Kaloka to. Hindi man lang nagshare! Kami kaya bumili niyan" Kim said. Binato ko siya ng empty bottle ng mogu mogu.

Eh bakit ba. Bawal ako maglasing. May training kaya bukas.

"Magsitahimik nga kayo ang gulo niyo. At ikaw naman kasi Mika. Anong pumasok sa utak mo at nakipagdouble date ka sa ex mo at sa bago niya?" Singhal ni Tin sa akin.

Tumingin ako kay Alfred and tinuro siya. He's busy with his phone tho. Probably stalking on Alyssa again.

"Ito kasi eh! Masyadong head over heels kay Alyssa. And you too Lings are at fault. Kung hindi niyo ko pinapunta sa Katips nothing would have happened"
