Goodbye, Perfect

Two

BLYTHE

Nasa loob kami ng mini van ng kambal, Blue and Zeke, to go to the Pub for the victory party. As usual ang iingay na naman nila. They talked about how good and intense the game was.

"The wolves are good and they were a great sport. They even congratulated you guys" I said.

"Oo nga no? Hindi sila pareho sa ibang team na nakalaban ng Lions" Trina said.

"And the guys were good looking too. Lalo na yung team captain nila" Kath

"Si Mykhelle?" I asked.

They got quite for a while and narrowed their eyes on me.

"You know him, babe?" Blue looked at me curiously.

I bit my lips to suppress myself from telling them the truth.

"Yeah. The guys kind of popular and I talked to him once nung napunta akong Silvestre" I said without looking at them but I can feel everyone's eyes on me, lalo na si Ethan.

They were about to ask more but I announced that we're already here.

I was about to go out of the car when Ethan held my wrist and told the others to go inside. I even heard them say na "away na naman to"

"How did you know the guy, love?" He said in a low voice.

"I met him in Silvestre, E" I said without looking at him.

"Look at me and tell me the truth, love" he said it firmly, making me sigh and look at him.

"I met him here at the Pub, you guys were too busy practicing that time and Julian invited me, it was his birthday. I did not tell you guys because I know you won't allow me." I sighed

"Where was Kath and Trina that time?" He asked

"They had plans with their family that time. I had nothing to do since my parents was out of the country and wala rin sina kuya, so I agreed." I explained

"How did you met him? Paano kayo nagka-usap?"

"Promise me you guys won't do anything after hearing this?" I said desperately. He was quite, as if he's thinking and after a second he nodded.

"Well there was this one guy who was drunk na and he came to me offering me a drink. Of course I said no but he's too persistent kaya it annoyed me and I decided to go" I paused, nakikiramdam kay Ethan and when he nodded I continued

"He held my wrist and he was about to... kiss me." I cringe at the sudden thought of a stranger stealing my first kiss. I felt Ethans hand on my hand as if saying that he was very angry but still want me to continue.

"Before he could kiss me, a guy punched him and he landed on the floor and that was how I met Mykhelle."

Simula noon we became friends, we sometimes hangout and nakikita ko rin siya in some of our mutual friends parties. He was also the one who accompanied me when I went to Silvestre University for a competition, kaya I wasn't lying when I told my friends I met him in SU.

"Is there anything we should get worried about?" He asked and I laughed.

"E, there's nothing to worry about. It's pure friendship and the guy likes someone. Ano kaba!" I said still laughing

"You know we want the best for you, B. You, Kath and Trins. Sa ngayon wala pa kaming nakikitang lalaki na babagay sa inyo" he sweetly said. I scoffed.

"Wala naman talagang papasok sa standards na sineset niyo. It's too damn high, E. Babaan ninyo naman." Reklamo ko

"I told you, we want the best for you guys. Para narin namin kayong kapatid and we can't bare to see you cry and get hurt over a fucking guy." Anger was evident in his voice.

"Oo na, oo na! Let's go inside na nga. Hinihintay ka na ng mga yun" I said and we went inside.
