SEBASTIAN
"Drink! Drink! Drink! Drink!" I heard the crowd cheer as I shotgun a can of beer.
"Ah..." I threw the can where ever and firmly closed my eyes, feeling the heat of the acid act up in my stomach.
"Whooo!" I screamed and danced along with the music.
Napahawak ako sa ulo ko nang lalo akong nahilo dahil sa flashing colored lights. Kumuha ulit ako ng beer can at nagsindi ng sigarilyo. I chuckled, walking over to the pool area.
"All the way from Japaaaaan!" I greeted when I saw a familiar face.
"Heeeey! The Castel legacy himself! Look at you!" He drunkenly greeted me.
"You're not so bad yourself, Mr. 'Japan-Heartthrob'." I smiled at Hiro Harake, Japan's biggest celebrity of the year.
"Looking good, Basti. Ever thought of modeling?" I puffed a smoke and shook my head.
"Tangina naman, Hiro. I have a country to lead." Tumawa ito at inakbayan ako.
"Look around you, Basti baby ko!" Tinuro niya ang paligid. Napabuga ulit ako ng usok.
"You're too young to think of that! Kalma ka lang..." Hiro's japanese accent came out when ever he got drunk, Lalo na kung pinipilit niyang mag-tagalog.
"Shot pare..." I whispered.
Bumagsak ang ulo ko dahil sa hilo. I shut my lids, trying to get a hold of my senses.
"Hey! Dude, That's some weak shit. Get up! Shot!" Sabi ni Hiro at tinanggal ang pagkaka-akbay sakin. He hit my shoulder, jokingly.
"Fuck you, man." Tumawa ako at inabot ang shotglass na hawak ni Hiro.
As soon as I drunk whatever the hell is inside this glass he gave me, I felt my stomach turn upside down.
"I don't know about you, Pero cold water helps me feel less drunk." Nakangising sabi ni Hiro. Tinignan ko naman ang pool na puno ng mga babae.
"No way, Hiro. No fucking way." Nanlaki ang mga mata ko nang yakapin ako ni Hiro at itinakbo kami parehas sa swimming pool.
"Hiro, You son of a bitch!" I screamed right before I felt the cold freezing water touch my body.
"God damn it, Hiro!" Tinignan ko ng masama ang kaibigan kong tawa nang tawa.
I looked around me. The girls on the pool couldn't stop giggling and smiling. I pushed my hair back and got out of the pool. I managed to wink at them, despite the incredible discomfort.
Even though is was a dick move, Tama naman si Hiro. Nawala ng konti yung hilo na nararamdaman ko.
"Hi?" Natawa ako nang may lumapit sa aking babae.
"Im sorry, Im not into cheap thrills." Nakangiti kong sabi at marahan siyang isinantabi.
Pagpasok ko muli sa living room sinalubong na naman ako ng ibat ibang kulay ng ilaw na nagpa-flash. Bumalik na naman ang hilo ko pero ngayon hindi ko na kinaya.
"Fuck..." Bulong ko at tumakbo sa restroom. Ni-lock ko ang pinto bago bumagsak sa harap ng toilet.
"Son of a bitch..." I cursed as vomit escaped my mouth. Lalo namang pumintig ang ulo ko.
"Ah..." I felt tears running down my cheeks and vomit out of my throat. Kadiri...
I pushed my hair back and tried to breathe properly.
"Ew..." I got up and washed my face. Habang nagpa-flush ang toilet I lit up another cigarette.
I laid back on the sink and started puffing out smoke. Napatingin naman ako sa sarili ko sa salamin.
Messy dark hair that's pushed back, wet white shirt revealing my masculinity and jeans below the garter of my underwear.
"That's the future of the country right there..." Natatawa kong bulong sa sarili. I shook my head, Staring at the dumb asshole in the mirror.
"Prince Sebastian Castel... Tangina." Natatawa ko muling sambit, Giggling at the floor. I looked back at the mirror.
"One day, Bastian. One day, You'll be just like your dad." I whispered, Smoke coming out of my perfectly shaped lips.
"But I dont know when that day will come...''
My eyebrows met when I heard screaming outside of the comfort room. Not the kind of screaming you usually hear at parties.
Pagbukas ko ng pinto muntikang bumagsak ang babaeng nakasandal dito.
"Hey. Are you okay?" Tanong ko.
"Back of my girl, Man." Tinaasan ko ng kilay ang lalaki sa harap ko bago tignan yung babae.
"Miss, Okay ka lang?" Tanong ko. Hindi ito sumagot.
"Hey? Are you with him?" Hindi ulit siya sumagot. She just slowly stepped back. I took this as a sign that none of this situation is good nor is it consensual.
"Babe, ano ba, Pinapahiya mo naman ako, eh. Halika na." The guy said as if tinatakot niya yung babae.
"Bro, I dont think gusto niya sumama sayo." Tinitigan ko ito nang masama.
"Tol, Girlfriend ko yan. Pabayaan mo na kami away mag-jowa lang to. Tara na, Babe." Sabi niya habang pinanlalakihan ng mata ang babae.
"Dude, Hindi ako stupid. I see what you're doing. Wag mo gawin yan sa party ko. Get out." Tinitigan niya rin ako nang masama.
"Huwag ka nga mangaelam." Tumawa ako before lightly pushing him back into the crowd.
"Get out of my party."
"Not without my girlfriend."
"Pare, If I were you I wouldn't push my buttons." At this point people were circling around us. Curious as to what would happen next.
"Bakit among gagawin mo? Magsusumbong kay daddy?"
"You asked for this." I landed a punch that made him fall to the ground.
"Bastian!" Narinig ko ang boses ni Hiro bago niya ko pigilan.
"No, Get the girl out of here." Tinulak ko palayo si Hiro bago hatakin ulit pataas ang lalaki.
"What did you say?!" Tumaas ang boses ko bago siya suntukin ulit.
This time he fought back. I bit my lip when I felt it bleeding. Badtrip. Naramdaman ko na naman ang epekto ng alak.
"Sebastian! That's enough!" Pilit talaga gumigitna ni Hiro. Pero di ako nagpapigil.
"Hiro, Ano ba? Get the girl out of here!" Sigaw ko bago suntukin ulit ang lalaki. Humarap ito sa akin na duguan ang mukha.
"Sebastian, Putangina. Makinig ka nga, Bro!" Hinila ako palayo ni Hiro.
"What's your problem dude?!"
"Tol, Wala na yung babae. Look around you people are recording." Tinignan ko naman ang paligid ko. Oo nga.
"She wasn't really in danger. This is just a plot." Hindi ko na masyadong naintindihan sinabi ni Hiro.
I blacked out.
