The Perfect Revenge

TPR Chapter 6

"Yuck pare, ang gay ah!" kanchaw nila Trevor sa akin.

"Aidan Jose Baez in a Peter Pan suit like what the fuck!" tapos sabay pa silang nagtawanan.

I looked at myself in the mirror again. Maganda naman, parang nun theater act lang namin noong high school kaso bakat na bakat alaga ko kahit may takip.

"Bagay naman sakin eh! I never thought I'd be really good as this in a Peter Pan suit," I said unconsciously.

Totoo naman kasi, narcicistic as it may sound but I do look good in it though.

They all burst out laughing again. Sayang saya pa nina Reign at Prince eh!

"Fuck off! Basta, ihanda nyo na yang mga pera nyo!" I smirked devilishly.

I smell money, ako ang mananalo dito. Minsan ang hirap intindihin ni Zia, but I love challenges. My dad always give me challenges na ineenjoy ko naman, he told me it will mold me to become successful one day and itong si Zia? maning mani lang ito.

"Seryoso ka ba talaga dude?" nag-aalinlangang tanong ni Prince sakin.

I heave a sigh as I look at the outside-look of the function hall kung saan ididiriwang ang party or should I say costume party.

"Very ready," I confidently said kahit kinakabahan ako.

Makikita talaga sa labas kung gaano ka saya sa loob. The neon lights. The loud music. Everything. Wala nga lang tao sa labas, maybe they're all inside the hall.

"Sir.."

Nagulat ako nang may humarang sa akin na guard papasok ng venue. Wow?! may guard pa talaga?!

Chineck muna ako ng guard bago papasukin, nakakunot pa ang noo nito at tila ba naweweirdohan sa suot ko but before nya ako pinapasok may tinawagan muna sya like he's really making sure kung pwede ba talaga ako sa party.

Tumango naman ito sa kausap niya atsaka binalingan ako ng tingin, he didn't say a word and just opened the door for me.

I entered the hall.

The lights are stunning. The loud music. The people dancing in the middle of the hall.

My suit..

The music suddey turned off. Kasabay nun ay pagtigil ng mga tao.

Nagulat nalang ako sa nakita ko. They're all staring at me like I'm the stupidest person alive. Tapos nagtawanan pa. Ako ang pinagtatawanan nila. Shit!

Bigla ulit nag on ang music at muli silang nagsayawan pero tinatawanan padin ako.

What. The. Fuck.

"Hey, Aidan!" the girls approached me, it was visible in their voices that they're trying to flirt with me.

I smiled at them and even wave as a response.

"Having your own costume party eh?" sabay sabay pa itong nagtawanan.

Ako lang naman kasi ang naka peter pan suit, lahat sila pamparty ang mga suot.

I found myself smirking.

Now I know..

This is all her plan..

Her revenge..

"Makakatikim ka talaga sakin Zia Delos Santos.." I gritted my teeth as I saw her in the corner sa second floor na malapad pa ang ngisi na nakatingin sa akin.

"What?! Why?! Anong nangyari?!" sabay sabay na tanong nila sakin.

Nakatuon ang atensyon nilang lahat sa akin at gustong gusto malaman kung ano ang nangyari. I just laughed.

"She tricked me!" I exclaimed. Napapailing pa ako. This time, she won a point but no one ever messes with me and gets away with it.

"Alam nyo ba yung ginawa nya?! Costume party daw! Costume party! pero naka formal wear silang lahat like what the fuck is in her mind!" I exclaimed frustratingly.

Napapailing iling pa ako kasi naaalala ko na naman but good thing I still manage to be the star of the night that time.

"Ohlala! looks like Zia won again.." Reign said and they mischievously smile. Nag high five pa silang apat.

Two days after that event. Supermegafragalistic happy ako! Sabi naman kasing saakin ang huling halakhak, pahiya ang bebe Aidan.

"Hoy ateng! Two days na simula nung nakita natin si papa Aidan na naka Peter Pan costume at ngingiti ngiti ka parin jan ah!" puna ni Noemi.

Napangiwi ako sa sinabi niya because kadiri, may pinapahiwatig ba sya?! yuck lang! Hinding hindi ako magkakagusto sa peter pan na 'yon mukha siyang... I can't find the right word basta nakakadiri siya as a person!

"Excuse me, I'm just happy kasi nakarevenge na ako sa ginawa nya. Pero kulang pa yon!" I said at sumandal sa upuan ng salon at pinapaikot ikot pa it, I will always remember what he did to my best friend.

Makakatikim ka talaga ng ganti ng bestfriend nang inapi mo Baez!

"Baka naman sa kakarevenge mo nyan.. mahulog ka! ibang usapan na talaga yan!" dagdag pa nito.

Nagtagpo ang kilay kong hinarap siya at napailing nalamang ako't napairap in disbelief.

No fucking way. This will be successful, madami na kaya akong puntos.

"Love? Stupid. Ako mahuhulog sa Aidan na yon? Never." I answered.

"Be careful on what you say.."
