Chapter 11
"Alys, wake up."
I pulled the sheets over my head and rolled on the bed. I looked at my imaginary clock. 7 am pa lang naman! Why is Dane waking me up?!
He kept on calling my name and so I gave up.
I sat down on my bed and glared at him. "You just woke me up in such an ungodly hour, Dane. Ano'ng meron?" I said with lace of annoyance. I brushed my hair with my hand and watched my brother shook his head. "What?" I asked him.
He shrugged. "Nothing. You look weird yesternight, by the way. Good thing Mom didn't see you. You look stupid drunk."
Aish! Oo nga pala. We partied 'til dawn ni Tofer. God, nakita pa ako ni Dane umuwi ng ganoon ang itsura ko! Ano'ng klase akong kapatid? Sobrang bad influence ko sa kapatid kong walang ibang ginawa kung hindi ang mag aral. Tsk.
"Sorry..." I whispered.
"It's nothing. Anyway, Mom said take care because we'll be gone for awhile."
"Huh?"
Dane stood up and picked a strawberry from my night stand. Pinapalagyan ko kasi ng frozen strawberry yung table tuwing umaga. Bakit ba, ganyan ako magbreakfast. "We'll go to a resort in Alegria, I don't know. Yun. Pinapasabi lang nila Mom kasi hindi na sila makakauwi dito."
I pouted. "Iiwanan mo ako, Baby Dane?"
He nodded. "You don't need me, anyway. You need Drake. You look stupid, Alys."
And there, he walked out on me.
I need Drake? Huh! I survived for years without him. What difference does it make ngayon na wala siya? And besides, alin ba ang hindi makuha ng mga tao? Ikakasal na siya, for Christ's sake! Mahirap bang intindihin yun?!
I decided to take a nap since Dane disturbed my slumber.

"This is what you call beer, okay?"
Tumango na lang ako at kinuha ko yung beer na inaabot sa akin ni Jane. Grabe! Kahit mas bata sa akin si Jane, ang dami niyang alam. Isa kasi siya sa mga nauna kong naging friends dito sa Paris at pinakilala niya ako dito sa tinatawag niyang night life.
Inabot ko yung beer at sinubukang inumin. "Ugh!" naisuka ko yung beer. Yuck! Ano ba naman ang lasa nito! Kadiri.
Narinig kong tumatawa si Jane at Faye sa akin. "Hahaha! Such a baby, Zyril. Can't handle a beer?" inis nila sa akin.
Tsk. Mga babaeng 'to!
"I don't like the taste of this one. Give me another drink."
Nagshrug si Faye tapos sumigaw siya. Ang ingay naman kasi dito sa club! Wala na akong marinig. Puro sumasayaw yung mga tao, actually, hindi na nga sila sumasayaw, e. Dry humping na ang ginagawa nila. Hmmm. Hindi na ako naninibago. Dito naman kasi, kahit saan ako lumingon, may nagkikiss. Wala lang, nasanay na ako.
"Three rounds of tequila on my tab!" sigaw niya sa bartender. After a minute, may dumating na tray ng tequila ba yun sa table namin.
Binigyan kami ni Faye ng tig iisang shot ng tequila at lemon. "To girls!"
O_______O
Ang sakit sa lalamunan!
Tinignan ko sina Faye at Jane na kinuha muna yung lemon tapos ininom yung tequila tapos yung salt. B-itch talaga 'tong dalawa na 'to! Hindi man lang ako sinabihan na ganun pala dapat!
"Another round?" sabi ni Faye tapos itinaas niya ang kilay niya.
Kumuha naman si Jane ng shot at itinaas. "To boys, may they be forever damned!"
