ABARRANE

Oras ko na nga ata. Ang lapit lapit naman kasi ng mukha ni Alzer. Akala ko naman si Vance lang ang mukhang greek god pag malapitan, siya din pala.

Our faces are so close, mga 2 inches ang layo. With his hands on my waist, his front and my back close to each other, he spoke. Halos pabulong na sa sobrang lapit namin.

"Be careful, you might fall." that's it. that. is. the. sexiest. thing. i've. heard.

"I think I fell, mister." sabi ko sabay kindat, iwas kaba. I'm Zeva Abarrane, I flirt back.

He giggled kasabay ko. Umayos ako ng tayo pero yung right hand niya, nasa bewang ko padin. But I don't mind, I like it, hehe.

I faced the line of the buffet, para namang hindi pa nagalaw? Gutom na 'ko.

Sakto namang gumalaw ang pila at kumuha na ako ng plato ng magsalita siya.

"Looking forward to hangout with you soon, Ms. Abarrane." he whispered, I can almost hear his smirk behind my back. His hand carressing my waist.

"Likewise, Mr. Alzer." I answered back, smirking too, bago kumuha ng pagkain.

PAGKAUPO namin ay syempre, kinain na namin yung mga kinuha namin. We are so damn hungry na kaya.

"Hey, b. Look at Zelda. She looks so.." imbis na ituloy ni Sage ang sasabihin ay tumawa na lang. If you don't know, Sage is a little bit sassy din. No, actually not sassy, she's so honest!

"Baduy." i continued her sentence, tumawa naman kaming tatlo, i even saw Vance almost giggled pero pinigilan dahil ata nandito si Dri. Vance's inner bitchy side is showing again, i love it!

Anyways, Zelda looks so baduy talaga. Look at her! She's wearing something panget. I'm not even gonna describe it for y'all.

I mean, it's okay if you can make it outstandingly beautiful. But with Zelda? You won't even dare to look at her more than 5 seconds! Ang sakit sa mata, I don't really like her dress and, ofcourse, her. Uh, gross.

"That outfit is a little.. awkward." comment ni Dri being her angel self. Tingnan niyo, pati panglalait ang bait!

Tinanggal ko na ang mata ko kay Zelda at kumain na lang ulit. She'll regret that she effin' wore that gown, haha.

AFTER AN HOUR, halos lahat ay tapos ng kumain. Kaya ng mapansin ng MC na pwede ng simulan ang party ay tumayo ito.

"Okay, why don't we start our tradition during our every acquaintance party?" sunod sunod naman ang cheer ng crowd.

Sa harap namin, meron siyang dalawang boxes na hawak. Yun ang mga gagamitin para sa "tradition" every akwe. The one is full of the names of the new students while the other is the old students' names. And take note, this tradition is for the senior students lang kaya ang mga pangalan na nasa boxes ay ang pangalan ng mga seniors na nandito ngayong gabi. Why? Because this involves liquors at alam ng uni na we can handle ourselves na dahil seniors na nga.

How? Bubunot ang MC ng tig-5 each boxes. So in total, 10 names ang mabubunot. You'll pick your partner, ikaw bahala kung same gender or what. Basta pag nabunot ka, pipili ka din sa mga nabunot din para partner kayo pero dapat kung new student ka, you'll pick an old student and vice versa. Then the thrill will come. 10 shots per pair so bali tig-5 shots kayo ng partner mo. Ang thrill dito ay paunahang makapunta sa partner mo. Sunod-sunod ang five shots na yun at laging malakas na alcohol ang hinahanda ng school para dito.

Last year, they fucking prepared a Bacardi 151 and if you don't fucking know, it's 75% alcohol. Bitch, even I can't fucking do those 5 shots ng Bacardi 151 ng sunod sunod, partida, sobrang party girl ko pa ha. And I'm effin thankful dahil di pa ako senior last year, baka mamaya maduwal na lang ako bigla. By the way, this "tradition" is called Death Shots.

Inexplain na nung MC ang gagawin and he started shuffling the names inside by subtly shaking the small boxes he's holding.

After he called the first 8 names, medyo nakahinga na ako ng maluwag. Medyo safe na ako because they'll just call 2 names and they're plenty of seniors here so i'm pretty sure my name's safe.

Actually, I don't have a problen drinking kasi mamaya maglalabas din sila ng alak pag-party time na. Pero kasi, I'm fucking sure na yung alak na hinanda nila hindi biro. And I don't want to be drunk! Not so pretty me! Because Abarrane can control herself, duh!

"Okay, last two names! Drum roll please." panakot nung MC at syempre, tumunog naman ang drum roll galing sa speakers. Uto-uto din 'tong DJ ha.

"Celeste Paisley Duerra from.." nagblanko agad ang utak ko bago pa masabi ang department ni Celes. Oh. My. Gosh. I can't fucking believe this!

I looked at my bitches. They're both shocked. Imagine naman kasi, your bitch is called to drink 5 shots of i don't know! Omg, i'm so gonna vid this and post this on my snapchat!

"Fucking hell." Celes mumbled at napilitang tumayo because the crowd cheered and they're all eyes on our table. Sage and me laughed at her while Vance and Dri only smiled at her. Buti nga sakanya!

"Last but not the least.." nilabas ko ang phone ko para ma-ready and ma-videohan ko si Celes babe mamaya, hihi.

"Zeva Abarrane Amberden from...!" para akong nabingi.

I froze, my hands stopped from getting my phone from my pouch.

I looked at Sage with my wide eyes, questioning my existence.

"Putangina."
