"Why the fuck are we here, Isla?" I removed her grip from my wrist. She smiled at me widely while scratching the back of her head.

"To support my baby siyempre! But you know naman I can't be alone diba or else those annoying fans will eat me alive. Please, Alyt? I'll libre you later promise!" she pouted and blinked annoyingly.

I rolled my eyes, defeated. "Boyfriends are a hassle," liningon niya ko ng onti at umiling. "Sino ba diyan jowa mo?"

To be honest, di naman kami super close ni Isla. Somehow we were both isolated kaya we ended up sticking together because some bitches are insecure and it shows. It's fine naman since I enjoy her company and it's kinda nice to have a female friend sometimes.

"The drummer," I looked up and saw them setting up sa stage.

"Nice catch," I scanned the stage to look for someone likely to be my type. "Sino yun? The one holding the mic."

"Ah yung naka black? He's the main vocalist. You don't know him? He's kinda famous, pareho kayo e." she shrugged.

"In what way? Sobrang hot and good-looking namin?" I jokingly said.

We stopped talking to each other nang mag simulang tumugtog ang banda nila. They were playing Chase Atlantic's Into It. One of my most favorite make out songs.

My eyes were glued on the vocalist. He has a piercing on his left ear and a tattoo on his forearm. Gosh, he's super good and fuck he's super hot din!

"Isla, hook me up with that guy or something." I told her after the band finished playing. "Huy!" She pretended not to hear me and continued typing on her phone. Ka-text ata jowa kaya nalimutan na ko.

Without saying anything she dragged me to the backstage.

"Baby!" tumakbo agad siya dun sa drummer which is yung boyfriend nga niya. "Oh, your friend?"

"Yup. San yung iba?" she asked after sitting comfortably. Pucha ka Isla pano naman ako? I stood there awkwardly while watching the two of them flirt!

"Changing clothes siguro. Kain sana kami after sa restobar. Lapit lang dito, sama kayo?" he glanced at me.

"Alyt, g?" I just nodded. Tutal nahatak na ko dito at wala din naman akong gagawin, I'll make the most out of it.

They were just cuddling sa sofa while I was scrolling through my cellphone trying to look unbothered. "Oh? Magui bakit ka andito?" I looked up and saw a familiar face.

"Uy, Kief! I went with a... friend." tinuro ko si Isla na parang linta kung makakapit sa jowa niya. Ngumiwi siya ng kaunti sa nakita.

"How's Marty?"

We were in the middle of catching up but I got distracted when a godly being walked out of the comfort room. He looks even sexier with his hair slightly disheveled. Tumingin siya sakin for a while then sat next to the two lintas.

"We get it, you're both horny. Get a room please." medyo napalakas ata tawa ko kaya napatingin sila sakin.

"Nga pala Alt, meet my friend Margaret." medyo sinamaan ko ng tingin si Isla because she knows I hate being called Margaret.

"Really? You have a friend?" he shot me a look which made me nervous. Puta bakit ba ang gwapo nito. "I'm Alto, nice to meet you Margaret." my lips went dry.

I hated my second name a lot but now I think I hate it less. Why does it sound so sexy when he's the one saying it? "Nice to meet you din. You can call me Magui." I said softly. Parang ayaw pa ata lumabas ng boses ko.
