Kicked out

Urgh! Naiinip na ako. Nakalagay ang aking cellphone sa aking tainga. Habang ang isa kong kamay ay sinasabunutan na ang aking sarili dahil sa pagkabagot at inis.

"Bilisan niyo naman!" I said. "Male-late kayo mga gago!"

"Papunta na, papunta na kalma!" Nagmamadaling sabi ni Colleen.

"Almost finished, I swear!" Yeshua promised.

Narinig ko ang malulutong na mura ni Radleigh mula sa kabilang linya, "Just give us a second!"

"Gago wala ng segundo malelate na kayo!" I groaned.

"Yes, we do!" Sabay nilang tatlong sabi.

"No, we don't!" I retorted back, "Come on you guys! The movie is about to start!"

It was Sunday afternoon, nakauwi narin ako sa bahay namin nung isang araw pa. Bago ko pa sila napapayag. Ang dami ring tanong sa akin ni Primrose pero ang pinagtataka ko ay parang hindi manlang siya nag alala sakin. Puro Shannon ang bukambibig niya sa akon geez. Si mommy naman ay masaya dahil nalaman niya na may babae akong kaibigan, ang hindi niya alam ay si Primrose yung kausap niya tuwing siya'y tatawag para hanapin ako.

And today? The three and I planned to watch a movie. Namiss daw nila ako agad mula nung umuwi na ako sa bahay namin. I missed them too! Pero ngayon ay naiinis ako dahil napaka tagal nilang tatlo.

"Hindi ko kasalanan kung bakit binili lahat ni Shannon ang halos lahat ng pagkain dito sa mall para lang dyan sa movie," Yeshua growled, naririnig ko ang pag deny ni Colleen sa kabilang linya.

"I'm not buying everything," Colleen said, feeling the eye roll in his voice. "Radleigh is."

"Always a pleasure, Colleen," Radleigh told him. "Always a pleasure."

"Well, are you almost done buying everything?" I demanded, before taking a sip of my soda.

"Almost," Colleen assured. "The cashier is adding it all up."

"Your total is going to be 5,014 pesos," Someone said cheerfully from the background.

Halos mabilaukan ako sa narinig. "Ano? Colleen, tell me you did not just spent a 5000 pesos worth of snacks for this movie."

"Well, technically, with tax it would be at least—how much is it with the tax?" There was a slight pause until he answered. "It would be actually a total of 5,274 pesos."

"Colleen..." I growled.

"Okay, okay," He confessed. "It may sound like it's too much. But one, everyone knows that movie food is way overpriced." Okay I had to admit, it is. "And two, we are three full grown boys—"

"Men," Yeshua corrected.

"Nice catch," Colleen said, "Men who will eat as much as we want."

"You want." This time, Radleigh correct him.

"Nice catch," Colleen said again.

"Well," I began, my voice in a deadly whisper. "You three full grown men won't live to eat as much as you want if you don't get your butts to this movie in time."

Colleen chuckled nervously, "You're serious...aren't you?"

"Sobra."

"Uhm, Miss?" Someone called out to me in a hush whisper.

I looked up and saw an usher, about in his late 30s with a thick mustache under his beaked nose. Suot niya ang kanyang usher uniform, the movie theater was slightly dark, not as dark as it will be once the movie starts. Inilawan ako ng flashlight nung usher at itinapat sa aking mata. Agad akong umiwas ng tingin, itinatago ang aking mga mata sa aking mga kamay.
