11 | Donny

"Babe, let's take a photo here!" Sunny exclaimed as she grabs my hand, we are just taking some pictures for our last day here.

I don't know why I let myself get dragged on things that I didn't want to do in the first place. For instance, this. I just want to be in bed and chill, not taking pictures like there's no tomorrow.

"Are we done?" I groan as Sunny scroll through her phone checking the pictures.

"Not yet. Let's take more pictures there!" she pointed at a hammock near the shore which earned groans from me, again. "Don't be like that, Dons. Minsan nga lang tayo makapagbakasyon together."

It's true. Minsan lang talaga kami makapagbakasyon na magkasama. I don't even know why I haven't thought about a trip for the both of us. Weird.

We took more pictures for Instagram daw sabi niya. More content for our social media accounts daw, and to let people know that we are still dating. As you can see, in our society, people think that you stop posting about your someone special, you have broken up which is insanely messed up concept.

And to be honest, I'm getting annoyed now.

"Still not done, huh?" Hannah appeared out of nowhere crossing her arms, I sighed.

She absolutely knows how annoyed I am now.

Although I drifted my thought to Sierra, I have not seen her since this morning and it's already midday.

"Where's Sierra?"

My younger sister gave me the 'uy hinahanap niya si crush' look. Wtf did I say "crush"?

"What? I'm just asking." I said in my defense.

Hannah shrugged still smiling, "You can't deny it though." I scoffed and glanced at Sunny who is still distracted taking more pictures. "You still like her. I know you do."

Is it really that obvious?

Shit. I should act like I don't give a fuck about her because damn, that girl is making me weak.

"Nah, I'm just being a nosy friend, that's all." Okay Dons, try to act normal.

She chuckled and informed me, "Whatever you say, kuys. She's knocked out from last night, she hasn't slept not until five in the morning."

"Why is she still up in five earlier?"

"None of your business." she sassed. Half of me was confused but also half of me knew why, because I was an asshole last night.

It was a shitty move when I was not honest to Sunny, I really did want to have that conversation with Sierra. But I was scared, I was scared what she might say.

She still got me.

But I know I should not let her.

"Ate Sierra!!!" I heard Solana squealed running towards the person I wanted to see.

Her white flowy dress hugging her small frame, why did she have to be this stunning.

"Uy kuys, close your mouth." Hannah grinned crossing her arms on her chest. I immediately closed it and clenched my jaw. Solana held Sierra's hand and dragged her towards us, somehow, I was distracted by the change of expression on Sierra's face. It felt like she didn't want to see me.

"Hi, Ats." She looked at Hannah greeting her back, I received an odd encounter, she didn't say anything to me.

Sunny approached, "Baby, let's g—oh hi Sierra!" She just smiled at her and looked away. My girlfriend dragged out of the scene and they continued chatting.

I guess I deserve that, she ignored me like how I ignored her last night. I couldn't blame her.

It's almost midnight and we are gathered here in the common room of the hotel room that we're staying at. Hanggang ngayon, hindi pa rin ako kinakausap ni Sierra. Not that I did not try reaching her out, she just doesn't want to talk to me.

Like before lunch earlier, she was alone at the pool area, I came up to her because it was a nice opportunity to reach out. I sat beside her without saying a word, I was sure she knew I was there.

But she didn't, she was glued to her phone and I don't have any clue what she's doing.

Uhm, Donny? Why are you so concern about Sierra?

Shit, I should be concern about my girlfriend who is still busy admiring the photos. As you can see, the thing about Sunny is that she loves herself way too much.

Back to Sierra, to make the long story short, she ignored me. She couldn't even look at me.

I've tried talking to her a couple of times today and none of them work.

Wow. She must've hated you so much, Donny. My conscience.

"Kuys," Benj called me out which brought me back to reality, he was standing including Sierra and Solana.

"What was that?"

"I was asking what snack you want." he replies.

"Just get me one pack of potchi, thanks." I swear, I wasn't hallucinating, she looked at me, seen by my peripheral vision.

They left. I still couldn't believe her, she's unpredictable. I honestly know why she looked at me with a surprise expression on her face, because I mentioned potchi.

She used to say sour belt is way too expensive, so she introduced potchi to me.

"Oh, try mo 'to." she reached five pieces of transparent plastic wrapper with color pink on the side. "Baka naman magbago isip mo."

I opened a piece and placed the pink and white fluffy thing that is covered with sugar, which by the way, is similar to sour belt.

And it changed my life. Kind of.

After that time, she always brings ten to fifteen pieces of it since it was only available at the sari-sari store near their house. Well, she lied on that part, I was so stupid to believe her. I saw it at the grocery, since then I buy packs of potchi once in a while.

A phone went off which means someone texted, I reached for the phone to know who it belongs, it was Sierra's. I can tell by the lockscreen, it was her agenda for the next day, typical Sierra.

Not long when it started ringing.

Troy calling, it says.

I did not know what to feel, confused? Wait, no. Hurt.
