5 : Drowned

Destiny's Game 5

After the fixing of tent and baggage, pinagkumpol kami ni Mrs. Lopez sa gitna ng campsite.

"What am I going to say right now is very much important, so all of you MUST listen to me ATTENTIVELY!!! Understand!?"

I yawned. Grabe, nakakairita ang lakas ng boses ni Mrs. Lopez.

"Hi, Monique!" I sighed. Ayan na naman po siya. "Patabi." And Pete's know I can't do anything to get rid of him right now. Peste!

"Is he keeps bugging you the past weeks?" Zake leaned on me and whispered. Medyo nakiliti naman ako kasi yung hininga niya po, tumama sa batok ko.

"Yeah, sort of." I whispered back. I heard him chuckled.

"Don't worry, ganyan rin ang simula ng love story ni dad and mom."

"Well then, it's a different story about us. Rid the love, there's nothing between us." Irap ko sabay tingin kay Mrs. Lopez na walang tigil sa kakatalak. I yawned again. Ugh, I lack sleep.

-

"Alleah, wake up. Alleah."

"Hmmm." I moaned when someone poked my cheeks.

"Tsk, sleepyhead. Gising na!" Then someone poked my cheeks again. Argh! Sino ba yan, nakakainis. Did I mention before na ayaw kong naaantala ang tulog ko?

"Get away." Inis kong ani at inayos ang pagkakasandal ng ulo ko kay- wait. Pagkakasandal?

My eyes automatically opened and the first thing I see was a pair of legs. Not literally legs, nakasuot naman po ng maong.

"Sleepy head." Napaayos ako ng upo at inayos ang magulo kong buhok. I even checked my lips if ever may tumulong laway. Napakagat labi ako. Did I... did I, argh, Nakatulog ba ako sa balikat ni Zake? Eeehhh, kinikilig ako.

"Ahhh, w-where's everybody?" Tanong ko ng hindi nakatingin sa kaniya.

"Eating lunch. Tara na, dali. Kanina pa ako ginugutom." Aniya sabay tayo, he then extended his arms. I blink trice, Zake why??? Why so gentleman?

"Sorry." I gave him an awkward smile at inabot ang kaniyang kamay. Abby, sorry... I felt like we're cheating on you.

Nakarating kami sa gilid ng camp kung nasaan ang lahat. All of them are eating already and our sudden appearance caught their attention.

But what caught my attention was Althea and her suspicious looks. Geez, what's with her looks? Kaninang umaga pa siya ah.

"Zake! Monique... here!" Hinila kami ni Flare papunta doon sa pinakadulo ng upuan. Budol fight ang peg ng kainan namin.

Handspoon and handfork ang gamit namin, budol fight nga diba? But when I started eating, I noticed Flare na hindi man lang ginagalaw ang pagkaing kaharap niya.

"Aren't you hungry?" Tanong ko. He looked at me and nodded.

"Did you bring any spoon and fork?" Nangunot naman ang noo ko sa tanong niya.

"Wala."

"Argh, how can I eat eating without any spoon or anything?" Problemadong aniya.

"Just eat." Singit ni Zake. "Huwag ka ng mag-inarte."

"Argh!" Flare spat and started eating. "I feel so dirty."

Hindi ko na lang pinansin ang pag t-tantrums ni Flare at pinagpatuloy ang pagkain.

"I feel like you're licking an orgasm. Masarap ba?" Nanlaki naman ang mga mata ko sa biglaang sabi ni Flare. What the fck...?!

"Flare, your mouth." Saway ni Zake. "She's innocent."

"Bro, you know... there's no innocent person left in this century now. Everyone's liberated."

"Learn to have exceptions."

"Para ka namang virgin magsalita." Flare laughed, ako naman ay na stiffen. "Or... you're really a virgin?"

Hindi nagsalita si Zake at pinagpatuloy na lang ang pagkain, same as me.

"Oh geez, you're really a virgin?" Napaikot ang mga mata ko sa ka OA-an ni Flare. What's the big deal kung virgin pa si Zake, actually it's a good thing naman eh.

"Tumahimik ka nga Flare." Saway ko but he just continued to tease Zake.

"Flare..."

"You three... kung tapos na kayong kumain, get out. I don't need your noisy self here." Argh, bwiset na Flare. Ayan tuloy, napagalitan na naman ni Mrs. Lopez.

After I retrieve myself from the table, binigyan ko muna ng masamang tingin si Flare. Bwiset  na lalaki.

I went back to my tent after I washed my hand, but because the tent bored me... naisipan kong pumasyal. Tutal sabi nila non danger zone naman itong campsite.

While walking, may napansin akong karatula na nakapako sa isang puno. There is written there but I can't define kasi medyo na erase na probably because it's old, but an arrow towards a certain direction is visible. And because of curiosity, my feet followed the lead towards where the arrow were pointed.

And it lead to a beautiful falls. Wow, bakit hindi nila sinabing may falls pala dito? Amazing!

I giggled at linapitan ito. The water is clear and it I can even see my reflection on it. Napangiti ako at naisipang maligo, Tumayo na ako at was about to take a step when one of my feet slipped and God knows what happened.

To Be Continued...
