Gray's POV

It's already 11:30 and there is only one cup standing on the side of the girls same with ours. Its King's turn to take down the last cup of booze on the girl's side and if that's will happen we already win the game.

No one of us dare to move, even exhale a puff of air nor inhale, no one did. We're too carried away by this game.

We are all focused on the move of King, I admit it I already enjoy this game. Reminiscing the memories you made together with your friends is the best part even though I only shot once.

Thats will be the first and last, I still can taste the bitterness of hops even though there is the hint of citrus flavor, still the bitterness overpowered everything. Paano natitiis ng mga tao ang uminom ng sobrang pait na alak. It taste like hell!

I never thought that someday I will hangout with some people that I can call as friends. Si Black lang ang palaging kasama ko araw at gabi pati na si Manang Lita na itinuring ko ng ikalawang ina.

I admit it, hindi ako yung taong madaling makasundo at hindi ako nakikipagusap sa mga hindi ko gusto. Maarte na kung maarte pero I prefer quality than quantity.

I always have this trust issues and anxiety. I always think that there might be something bad may happen if I put too much trust into somethung or someone.

Lagi kong iniisip kung ano nalang ang sasabihin ng ibang tao. I hate this feelings kaya siguro ganito ako lumaki, cold as ice.

I also always thinking that friends are just temporary. "Seasonal Friends" I must say. There is no one who will stay on your side forever. Friendships always had a bittersweet ending. That's how I define the word "Friendship".

"Shoot mo na!" Pagpuputol sa pagmumuni muni ko ng marinig ko ang boses ni Brice na sumigaw.

"Oo na!" King prepare himself to shoot the pingpong ball. We follow the track of the ball with our naked eyes and as it approaches the cup I hear the shout of my friends saying "Shoot yan!" Until it landed on the booze inside the cup. All of us cheer up as we declare our triumph.

"Akuna kekayu sharp shooter ku" ("Sabi ko na sa inyo, sharp shooter to!") Pagmamayabang ni King habang naka akbay kay Brice.

"Lakas mo talaga!" Sabi ni Black sabay konyat kay King na ikinasubsob ng huli.

"Gago ka talaga Black!" Sigaw ni King habang kinakamot ang batok na kinonyatan ni Black. Gaganti pa sana si King ngunit agad na nakalayo si Black. How childish diba? Partida senior high pa ang mga to. Sabi nga nila tumatanda ng paurong.

"Wait guys! Mukhang may nakakalimutan si Caj." Sabay sabay naming nilingon si Caj na nakasimangot dahil sa pagkatalo.

"Bottoms up!" Sigaw ni Brice.

"Kala mo nakalimutan namin? Utot mo square!" Habol pa nito.

"Che!" Inirapan lang ni Caj si Brice at nilagok ng diretso ang alak na nasa cup. Sisiw lang to kay Caj, sa lakas uminom nito ginagawa ng tubig ang alak mapa hard o light drinks man.

"Pahinga muna tayo guys then kumain na rin." Paganyaya ni Queen na sinunod naman namin. Agad na nagsiupo ang lahat at kanya kanyang dampot ng pagkain sa mesa. Basta usapang pagkain galit galit na sila.
