Nerissa's POV
'Nerissa!' Halos mahulog ko yung hawak kong phone dahil sa pagtawag sa 'kin ni Mitch. Nakita ko na may hawak siyang dalawang baso ng inumin. One was red and the other was blue.
'Here's your drink.' I was about to get the red one kaso lang inilayo niya iyon sa akin.
'Ha! Not that. This one, Prolipelixeer.' sabi niya at ibinigay sa akin ang asul na inumin. 'Don't worry hindi ka malalasing niyan... Tipsy lang!' nagbiro pa talaga siya at tumawa as if wala ng bukas. I got the drink from her and smelled it first. It might seem ignorant of me, pero para sa safety ko na rin 'to 'no.
'Let's go!' sabi niya at hinila ako palabas ng pintuan. Napalingon nalang ako sa may hagdan at naala ang nangyari kanina. I shook my head to forget about it.
Sumalubong sa amin ang isang grupo na sa tingin ko ang paboritong kulay ay itim. Naka-all black outfit kasi sila. Isang babae at tatlong lalake. Ang creepy naman.
Napansin ko na kumonti ang mga tao. Bigla nalang silang tumahimik at lahat sila ay nakatingin sa akin, I suppose. At ako naman ay tumingin kay Mitch. What's happening?
'Guys! Ano ba'ng meron? Am I that beautiful para lahat kayo mapatingin sa 'kin? Wew!' sabi ni Mitch sa kanila while pointing at herself. From the super creepy atmosphere kanina, lahat sila ay napatawa sa confidence ni Mitch and eventually ay bumalik na sa kanilang ginagawa. Muli namang tumugtog ang loud speakers and I almost covered my ears, in which Mitch chuckled.
'Is this your first time?' tanong niya sa akin. As a response, ngumiti nalang ako sa kanya at uminom ng what-do-you-call-this-drink-again?
'Anyways! Nerissa, they are my friends, Xyrus, Jeremy' pagpapakilala ni Mitch at nakipagkamay naman sila sa akin. Brr. Their hands are freezing. Naramdaman ata nila ang pagkagulat ko kaya naman ay inagaw agad nila iyon.
'Ice and Alice, they're twins!' pagpapatuloy naman ni Mitch. Tumango lang si Ice and Alice smiled lightly. 'Kobe and--- asan siya?' ngumiti nalang sa akin si Kobe at inilibot naman ni Mitch ang kanyang paningin sa paligid. Meron pa silang kasama?
'Guys, this is Nerissa.'
'Hello!' I said at ngumiti sa kanila.
*ring ring ring*
'Excus-m' sabi ni Mitch at lumayo ng kaonti.
'Asan ka na ba?' she said habang nakahawak sa kanyang bewang.
'What?! You---' hindi ko na narinig yung iba pang sinabi ni Mitch dahil biglang nagsalita si Alice.
'Hmm, so Nerissa. What convinced you na pumunta dito sa party ni Mitch?' tanong niya habang naka crossed-arms.
'Uh, I guess it would be fun, to come.' sagot ko naman.
'Do you like the drink?' tanong ni Kobe. 'Yeah.' tipid kong sagot.
I don't know pero nakakabother dahil ang iniinom nilang lahat ay yung color red. Hmm.
'Woah! Akala ko hindi ka na naman pupunta!' sabi ni Jeremy. Huh?
'Bro, anong nangyari sa'yo?' napatingin ako sa likod at nakita ko si Mitch kasama si... Trevor?!
'Mind your own business Xyrus.' sabi naman niya. Lumapit siya kay Alice at bumeso sa kanya.
'What happened to your face?' malambing na tanong ni Alice. 'Later.' sagot niya at nakipag-bro fist kina Ice. Ano yun pag si Alice yung nagtanong okay lang, ta's pag si Jeremy 'mind your own business'? I assume, girlfriend niya si Alice.
He looked at me as if we haven't met, oh well.
'Oh! Nerissa, siya nga pala si Trevor, my brother.' sabi ni Mitch. 'Half.' dagdag naman ni Trevor.
I reached out, for a handshake pero hindi niya lang iyon pinansin. I bit my bottom lip and placed my hand at its original position.
'Ang boring naman. What kind of ceremony is this Michellassandra?' tanong ni Trevor kay Mitch. Naghalakhakan naman sila. I was about to laugh too, kaso lang it was uncomfortable.
'Don't call me that hideous name Trevor!. You don't want me to tell them about your secret...' sabi ni Mitch in a sing-song manner.
'I need some drink.' pag-iiba naman niya ng topic. What could be his secret? Anyway, I wasn't born to be a detective of someone's life.
'Here, Trevy!' sabi naman ni Alice sabay abot ng pulang inumin.
'I want the Prolipilixeer.' demand niya naman.
'Get it yourself Ackingstone.' said Mitch.
'Just zip it, okay?' Asar na nga siya.
'Asan na si Bella? I thought kasama mo siya?' tanong ni Xyrus.
'Wala, umalis na.' Long story made short.
Mitch's POV
It's already 9.30 and the party has just began. Most of them are getting into the beat. Ang natira lang dito sa table ay ako, si Nerissa and si Jeremy.
'Mitch, Jeremy, I'm sorry pero kailangan ko ng umuwi.' sabi ni Nerissa at tumayo na ng upuan.
'Ah, ganon ba?' tanong ko sa kanya.
'Yeah. I had fun. Salamat sa pag-invite.' she said at ngumiti.
'Uhm, Nerissa, may susundo ba sa'yo? Do you want me to drive you home?' tanong sa kanya ni Jeremy.
'Okay lang. Andyan na si Mang Jun sa labas.' replied Nerissa.
Ngumiti nalang si Jeremy after waving his hand.
'Bye Nerissa! Thanks for coming!' I said.
'She's kind.' bigla nalang na sabi ni Jeremy.
'Yes she is.'
'But, I think she's not yet ready.' sabi niya.
'She will be.' sagot ko naman at uminom ng Dooleb.
