Maria Yanne Torres, a subpar girl from Cebu moves to Manila for college, dreaming to be the lawyer she wants to be one day. Little did she know she'll be dragged into a major social fiasco that includes a city mayor and a celebrity.
And this will ch...
I was grinding my body to Careless Music's songs. Jack was such a good singer. And God, James looked like an angel on stage. I was chugging down my nth bottle of booze. I was finally forgetting the problems I had in life. My sight was blurry and my knees were wobbly.
James and Jack were singing to On Top. I could feel Jack's eyes on me but I couldn't care any less. I think it was Sam or Juan, I don't know, I just placed my arms on someone's shoulders at sumayaw ng parang walang bukas. Walwal kung walwal.
Pinicturan kami ni Nicole and I tried to cover my face but it was too late. She then uploaded the photo with so much tipsiness. Parang wala na kaming lahat sa mga tamang utak namin. We deserve this after exams.

"Nicole, delete mo yan!" I slurred while dancing. Tumawa lang siya at nagsabing madami na daw likes, something like that. "Kuha ka ng bago." I whispered to Sam and I gave him my empty glass. He went away.
Bumalik ako sa table namin dahil hindi na si Jack ang tumutugtog sa stage. Nakita ko si Jack nakaupo sa table at nagpasalamat ako sa kanya dahil sa free tickets. "You having a good time?" Bulong niya sa akin habang dinig na dinig ang pagkanta ni Nadine ng St4y Up sa stage. Tumango naman ako at binigyan niya ako ng inumin.
Nagsisigawan ang mga tao habang kumakanta. Everyone is having a good time, I just swayed to the music while Juan and Nicole danced near us. I stood up and dragged Jack to the dancefloor too.
We danced with my arms on his shoulder and his hands on my waist. We were singing to the song as we swayed our bodies to the rhythm. He was laughing and whispering me jokes while I drunkly leaned my head on his shoulder.
I felt an arm snake around my body and drag me away from Jack. My vision was blurry so I looked at him with much more attention. He was wearing a pink hoodie and a mask which made it even harder for me to recognize the persob.
"Uwi na." I heard his deep voice and I automatically knew it was Vico. "V, let's stay." I pulled his neck, took off his mask and kissed him deeply. Hindi naman siya kaagad nakaangal dahil sa gulat niya.
Akala ko itutulak niya ako papalayo dahil sa ginawa ko pero hinawakan niya ang mukha ko at hinalikan ako ng mas malalim pa. Napapikit siya sa aming ginagawa. Our tongues were in sync. This kiss along with some alcohol lit up a fire in my stomach that drove me to kiss him even more.
Hindi ko siya binitawan hanggang matapos ang kanta. I saw Jack with a shocked expression, Angel was cheering and the others didn't care. Vico collected my things sa mesa namin.
Lalabas na sana kami pero hindi ako makapaglakad ng maayos kasi nga lasing. He just shook his head and carried me like a baby, my body facing his, my legs intertwined at his hips and his arms embracing me.
"V, iiwan mo na ba ako?" I sobbed while I inhaled his scent on his neck. "Bakit mo ba sinasabi yan? Bakit ka ba naglasing, ha?" He grunted while we walked to the parking lot. "Nakita ko magkasama kayo ni Gretchen. Sakit ah." I slurred. He just kissed my temple at linagay ako sa passenger seat.
