ABARRANE

Party lights, smoke, liquor and wasted people. Ang mga hindi mo maiiwasan sa isang party katulad ng welcome party ko.

Habang naglalakad sa dance floor ng favorite bar na pinareserve namin sa gabing ito, may biglang humila sakin.

Sasampalin ko na sana pero ng makita kong he's one of my flirts, I immediately gave him my welcome kiss.

"Let's go to my car." sabi nito sakin pagkatapos bumitaw sa halik.

"I don't do sex, baby boy. You know that." I said then winked at him. Hanggang halik lang talaga ako. I'm not that trashy to throw myself to guys like him. Tanga lang?

Kahit naman ganito ako, may respeto ako sa sarili ko. It's not just obvious though.

"Halika na, alam ko namang gusto mo din." i chuckled.

"Fucker." atsaka iniwan siya dun. Airhead bitch.

Pagkaupo sa table namin ay agad akong inabutan ng vodka ni Sage.

"You okay?" tanong niya habang tinititigan ang baso ng JD niya. Halatang lutang at madaming iniisip.

"You should ask that to yourself. Love you, bitch." sabi ko at iniwan siya dun.

She needs time to think, I know. Medyo nag-guilty na din ako kung bakit ko pa siya pinilit na pumunta but that's the only way she can forget her problems. But now, I don't think she can escape it. Kasi tulad ngayon, minsan hindi sagot ang pagtakas.

"B, I miss you!" salubong sakin ni Celes. Medyo may tama na.

I am really shocked! Like, what the fuck. Celeste is now tipsy. After 2 years, nakita ko na ulit siyang tipsy! Medyo nakakapagtaka lang kasi hindi pa siya nalalasing ng tuluyan after all these years. Sana all sobraaaang taas ng tolerance sa alak.

"Sage! Help me with Celeste!" I shouted at agad naman pumunta si Sage.

Dahil hindi din naman kami magkarinigan, simenyas na lang si Sage sakin na uuwi na sila. Not a problem with me, though. I don't have plans getting drunk tonight.

"Ingat, bitches! Ily!" i waved goodnight with a smile.

Kasabay ng paglabas nila, a man came in.

He looks confused. And that time, I look shocked. Vance is here. Yes, that Vance. The heartthrob Vance Mendiola.

"Vance Mendiola is here, gals. Did Abarrane invited him? Didn't know they're acquaintances." i heard Zelda said.

Zelda is one of my plastic friends. The famous gold-digger Zelda. I invited her para magmukha akong mas maganda. You know, enemies sometimes make you look better.

Lalo akong nagtaka ng makitang papalapit siya sakin. He walked gracefully and gently brushed his hair with his hand while roming his eyes around the place. Wow, hot.

"Hi. Have you seen Driana?" he licked his lower lip then set his eyes on me.

"Driana as in your girlfriend?" nagaalangan kong tanong. I've never been this close to him.

Sharp features, tanned skin, sex appeal, tall and perfect. Five things to describe Vance Mendiola.

"Yes. Driana Cuevas." sabi niya na parang nagmamadali. Hindi pala parang, nagmamadali kasi talaga siya.

Driana Cuevas is known for her angelic face. She's also kind and friendly. Mahinhin at hindi talaga makabasag pinggan si Driana. She's also a close friend pero hindi gaano. Nagbabatian, walang problema at magkasundo kami even if we're the total opposite of each other. Blockmates din kasi kami kaya siguro medyo nagclick ang friendship.

And the most important thing to know about Driana is that Vance is hers and vice versa. They own each other. The most ideal couple i've ever seen. Sikat na sikat sila dahil 3 years na 'ding sila. Hindi ako naniniwala sa forever pero parang meron ata sakanila. I can't even have a stable relationship for 3 weeks, 3 years pa kaya?

"She's there." turo ko sa medyo dulong part ng club. But it looks like hindi niya makita ang tinuturo ko.

"Samahan na lang kita." sabi ko na lang. Kakahiya naman kasi diba. Sarcasm here.

"Thank you." sabi niya na mukhang sobrang aligaga, natatataranta at hindi mailagay ang tingin sa isang lugar. Halatang alalang-alala.

Tangina, sana all may nagaalala.
