Chapter Ten: A New Start Or A Disaster

-----------------------------------------------------------------

"So pa'no, Bro?" Nag paalam na si Steffan na mauuna na matapos ng Bro' hug nila.

So far, Steffan has the good attitude kumpara sa mga kasama niya. Ilang minuto lang mula nang maka-alis si Steffan ay nagsimula nanaman ang kakaibang friendly argument at kanya-kanyang topic ang bawat isa.

"Okay!" Emma snapped at our friends, stopping the growing noise from the others. "Beatrice won't admit she's drunk so, quit it guys."

Kanina pa kasi ipinag-pipilitan ni Beatrice na hindi pa siya lasing, may tama lang daw. But she's really drunk from what I see, lalo kasing umingay at naging makulit ang mature flirty attitude niya.

"You're not going to tell us," Biglang ani Beatrice ng mapatingin sa gawi ko na katabi ni Laz. I looked at her confused and waiting for I don't know what she's talking about.

"Oh, yeah. Back to the real thing, Peirce." Peter said averting his gaze on me. "We want to know more about your boyfriend."

Laglag ang pangang napatitig ako kay Peter saka ako tumingin kay Bent na tila humihingi ako ng tulong o suporta, but to my dismay ay nag-kibit balikat lamang siya. Emma glared at our direction while Beatrice eyed at Laz.

"I think he's one of those assholes," Beatrice said pointing at Laz while her eyes narrowed like remembering some scenes. Yep, he's a total dick and an asshole.  I was about to open my mouth to say something, but Emma suddenly said something.

"How about Zeke, what about him?" She pointed out, giving me a raised brow.

Nagugulat man ay mariin akong napapikit dahil sa pansarili niyang kagustuhan. I opened my eyes and looked at her intently. "We're not in item, so what are you saying how's he? Clearly, I have no—"

She sat up, plopping down her both hands on the table with force that made me stop talking and made the others flinched.

"You should've told him earlier!" She shouted out of anger.

My jaw drop. I opened my mouth to say something but choose not to. Bennett came to the rescue after.

"Okay, calm down you guys. We can talk calmly and sort things out by not fighting with each other." He said making a hand gesture like a referee.

"I was just trying to point out something..." I muttered.

"Well, point taken." She said with a glare and a shrug. "But Zeke's my bestfriend!" She exclaimed.

I lick my lip then bite it after, out of frustration I snorted and told her that I am not really into him and you can't force anyone to be in item. She got mad and told me that I should've told Zeke about it and never should have let his hopes up.

Well, who did? Did I ever let Zeke's hope for something like a relationship that is more than friends? Na ah. Not that type.

Laz stayed quiet , but his ears were surely attentive.

"You're... Impossible!" Emma snorted, waving her hand in exasperation before storming out.

"Let me take care of her. Just... let the situation cool down." Peter gave me an assuring nod and a smile before giving me a peck on the cheeks that made Laz's eyes widened in shock. He patted my shoulder before following Emma.

"The bitch is quite emotional and dramatic sometimes, yes?" Beatrice commented, taking her last shot of tequila, putting down the glass with a force and standing up drunk while Bennett helped her out for her balance to maintain.
