JEU

GAME 26

AC's POV

"BABE! PANAGUTAN MO KO! WALANGYA KA!" Edmund shouted. Pinagttripan niya kasi yung gwapong pasahero sa jeep next to Ethan's car.

"Pagkatapos mo akong buntisin iiwan mo lang ako?! Bumaba ka dyan!" He shouted again. Nagtinginan yung tao sa loob ng jeep dun sa kuya na nakayellow. Kaya tingnan si Ed ng masama nung lalaki.

Tawa lang kami ng tawa nila Belle sa loob ng kotse.

"Damn you, Edmund! Kapag nireport niyan ang sasakyan ko. You're dead." Ethan, who's driving, curses him.

Hiyang-hiya na siguro yung lalaki dun kaya nakayuko nalang and ang sama ng tingin kay Edmundo.

"His face is funny. Siguro other people are thinking if how we did it and kung paano ako nabuntis. He's pogi though." Pinasok na ni Edmund yung ulo niya sa bintana and sinara niya na rin.

"You're crazy, man." Tawa ng tawa si Anton na nakataas pa ang mga paa sa dashboard.

"Di ko alam kung san ako maooffend, kung dun sa crazy or sa man." Hinaplos ni Edmund yung bangs niya na nilipad dahil sa ginawa niya.

Belle and I are just laughing and pinabilis na ni Ethan yung takbo ng sasakyan.

"Kuya pogi! Joke lang yun! Trip lang kita!" Sigaw niya ulit nung mag oovertake na si Ethan sa jeep.

We are going to Nuvali to unwind. All of us are stress sa school that's why we need an escape. Junior year is not really a joke. Super stressful and haggard.

Nagchill lang kami nung nakarating kami sa Nuvali. Belle brings her laptop and speakers kaya nagmovie marathon kami while they are drinking beer. I chose buko shake lang though.

Maya-maya pa dumating na yung pizza and chicken na inorder ni Anton kaya we decided to pause the movie first to eat.

Edmund is cracking jokes from time to time and minsan sinasabayan pa ni Ethan kaya napuno na naman ng tawanan yung table namin.

"What if tayo nalang kaya, Ethan?" Pabirong tanong ni Ed, na ikinasama ng tingin sa kanya ni Ethan.

"Sorry bro, but I'm straight." Ethan throws him a small crust of pizza.

"Okay na ako na straight ka, eh. But don't you ever call me bro. Sis nalang." Edmund flips his imaginary long hair.

Samin niya lang yan nagagawa because sa bahay nila, he's so manly. Well, he needs to be manly. His dad is a retired air force officer that's why hindi niya masabi kung ano ang totoong siya. He's afraid na baka daw either barilin siya or ipakaladkad sa eroplano if he comes out.

Naaalala ko sa kanya si Beatriz. Her family don't know yet na she's into girls too. She's afraid na baka madisappoint niya parents niya. Though I think, matatanggap naman siya nila tita and her sexuality will not matter naman. She even have girl cousins na may girlfriends and long term na sila. Tita and tito are cool with that. Dinadala pa nga nila sa bahay nila Bea sometimes or kapag may family reunion.

I remember one time, when I attended their family reunion. Dumating yung tita niya from Chicago and 8 years na rin siyang hindi umuuwi.

We were in 4th year high school that time. Hindi siya familiar sakin pero yung ibang relatives ni Bea kaclose ko na because I often with them.

She asked Bea if we are dating or kami na kasi pinakilala ng cousins niya yung girlfriends nila. Bea got a nice taste daw. Bea just laugh at what her tita said and introduced me as her best friend. Nung una hindi pa naniwala hanggang sila tita Det na ang nagsabi na we are just really best friend. She even said na sayang daw and bagay kami. Hiyang-hiya ako that time. Bea's cousins are even teasing us pero si Beatriz tawa lang ng tawa.
