Chapter 3

"Kakaiba talaga 'yung theme ng party ni Kim."

"Ang cute nga 'e."

We're here at the mall now, shopping.

"Ito! Ito, bagay sakin 'to!" Hilde seized an off-shoulder blouse from the rack.

"Oo na lang. Buti sana kung katulad ng balikat ni Lei 'yung iyo 'e hindi naman." Harm retorted making Hilde pout.

"Oo na! Pagdildilan pa 'e. Basta kukunin ko'to! Bagay talaga sa'kin 'to 'e! 'Di ba Lei?" Hilde turned to me.

The party's theme is 'millennial'. Weird right? So crop tops, Long tees, off-shoulders, high waist shorts, flare skirts, denim and many more millennial attires will be rocking the party.

I raised my thumb up in the air, without looking at her.

"'Di mo man lang tiningnan! Kainis kayo!" She blurted out.

"Even if I look or not, the result of you wearing that off-shoulder will be the same. You're still fab."

She suddenly pulled and hugged me. Drama queen.

"Kaya love kita 'e! Heard that, Juliana Harmony? I'm still fab as evah."

Harmony just made face and swiveled in my direction.

"How about you, Lei? Nakapili ka na?"

I raised a plain white long tee and a black leggings.

"'Yan lang?" Hilde asked.

Harmony's frowning also with my choice of clothes.

Without words, I went to the dressing room, and changed my clothes.

As I went out of the dressing room, their jaws dropped. Ok, I'm using hyperbole.

"Napaka-unfair! Bakit ang ganda tingnan sa'yo kahit ganyan-ganyan lang!" Harm said, stomping her foot.

It's simple yes, but it's the person that wears the outfit, matters.

The design's the one that caught my favor. It's a crop top, but it's long in the back.

I'm not really good at this, describing. Even the not so complicated things. Tss.

I went back to the dressing room to change.

"Ang strong ni Lei 'no? I've never seen her cry."

As I went out, I've overheard their conversation. I stepped in the racks, hiding my presence.

"She's not Leila Eleazer for nothing. Well, 'pag bumalik talaga 'yung Third na 'yon, masasapak ko 'yon."

Crying won't do anything good to me, Harmony. Just a waste of time.

"'E isa't kalahating gg rin 'yang si Third'e!" Hilde exclaimed.

"At bakit naman?"

"Basta! Gg siya! Sinaktan niya si Lei. Kahit 'di naman niya sabihin na masakit, alam ko namang masakit para sa kanya 'yun 'e"
