Maddie's POV

"Oh? Bakit parang zombie yan?" I heard Marge's voice. The couch moved, someone sat at the other end of it and put my legs on their lap.

"I don't know. Sabay-sabay kaya tayong umuwi." Bea answered.

I remained silent, they're annoying. It's too early and here they are, annoying me.

"Morning mga panget!" Jirah's voice made me frown. How am I gonna go back to sleep if they're all this loud? "Bakit parang patay si Maddie?"

I can't take it anymore, I sat up and threw a pillow at her.

"Aray!" She shouted and glared at me, I did the same.

"Here, Madds. Stop being grumpy." Therese came from the kitchen and handed me a glass of milk. I smiled at her, she smiled back taking the seat beside me.

I drank the milk and finished it. When I'm sleepy during the day I drink milk, if I can't sleep at night I also drink milk. Milk is love.

My best friends know that, our family, actually. I never drink coffee, it's not good for me because I'm allergic to it. I tried it once and I'm not planning to try it again. I still want to live, thank you very much.

"Ano ba talagang ginawa mo?" It's Gizelle pala who sat at the end of the sofa.

I didn't answer and Gizelle puffed an air in annoyance. I hugged Therese and snuggled closer to her. She stroke my hair, I closed my eyes, I'll try to sleep again. My head hurts so much.

At last, they stopped being so loud. Doing, they know what. Tey hugged me and sighed.

Pauline and I arrived home at 3:00 am, it was so much fun. We snucked our way inside because no one knows that we are together. I don't know what she's thinking but I can tell she's happy. Our car ride was full of laughter and we sang along to whatever song is playing on the radio.

Going back to the time where we danced under the stars, as we held each other, our hair dancing with the wind, hearts beating fast. That moment we had was magical.

This, me being sleepy and my head pounding, it doesn't matter. I will go over this a million times if that's the cause.

"Maddie, umamin ka nga. You're using drugs no?" Jirah asked, I opened my eyes and saw her looking at me seriously. The others are waiting for my answer also.

"No, sira ulo." Umayos ako ng upo at sinandal ang ulo ko sa sofa.

"If you're afraid we'll judge you, we won't. Pero Madds, tigilan mo na yan." Bea is looking at me and I gave her a "are you serious?" Look.

"Gosh, I hate drugs." Gizelle said dramaticaly, she's mimicking Prsident Duterte.

With that they all burst out in laughter. I'm looking at them like they are crazy. They stopped to look at me and started laughing again. Isa-isa ko silang binato ng unan, except Therese syempre.

"Grabe, that's so funny talaga. Galing ng drama niyo. Pwede na sa Oscar's." Marge said in between her laughter.

"You're all crazy. Umuwi na nga kayo, baka mahawa pa ako."

"You're always missing kasi. Yan hindi mo na tuloy alam mga inside jokes." Bea

"Ang c-corny niyo talaga."

"Whatever. Saan ka galing kagabi? I called tita, she said you're not home early naman daw." Therese gave me her mataray look, I'm trying to ignore her but it really scares me when she does that.

"Tey! Stop giving me that look." I whined.

"And why?" She crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow.
