Chapter Six
friday party

Hayss, finally natapos na 'yung week na 'to. Nasubmit ko na 'yung essay na pinapagawa ni ma'am, pati na rin 'yung iba kong projects at homeworks. Time to party at Tiff's.

  After classes, Carson immediately picked me up. "Uy, sunduin daw natin sina Jas at Lucas."

  "Okay. Anong oras ba magsstart 'yung party?"

  "It starts at eight. 4 pm pa lang, girl."

  "Ay, edi anong gagawin natin ngayon?"

  Carson was about to respond when his phone rings. He picked it up and started talking to the other line. I assume he was talking to Layla.

  Nagmaneho kami papuntang Maginhawa street. A pretty long way, pero marami pa naman kaming oras maglakwatsa bago magsimula 'yung party.

  Wala pa kaming initial plan kung ano 'yung gagawin namin pag na-pickup na namin 'yung dalawa. Kumakain daw kasi sila sa Maginhawa, eh malapit lang 'yun sa UPD.

  Carson ended his call and put his phone down. I asked, "Sino kausap mo?"

  "Layla. Nandoon na daw siya."

  "Huh? Ang aga naman, pucha. Sinabi niya saakin noon na hindi siya pupunta this sem. Anyare?"

  "Yeah, she changed her mind daw. Nagbati na kasi kami. The only reason why she didn't wanna go is because I was going. Pero nandoon na siya. She said there are like thirty people there already."

  Thirty people?! Grabe naman 'yun. Syempre, kilala ko si Tiff. She's been my batchmate ever since gradeschool, pero hindi ko siya masyadong kaclose kasi sobrang popular niya. Marami ding connections kaya madaming pupunta sa party.

  "Okay, edi sunduin na natin sina Jas 'tas deretsyo na doon." I suggested.

  "Yun nga gagawin natin, ano ba."

  Tumawa ako. "I'm surprised they have time to get wasted. Proud ako sakanila."

  ..

  We arrived at the party at ang daming tao. 8 pm pa lang pero grabe! Tinignan ko si Jas kasi kadalasan ay hindi siya sanay sa maraming tao. "Okay ka lang?"

  She smiled at me. "Yeah, this is a perfect opportunity for me to socialize with strangers. Though, I'm not close to the girl."

  "Who?" Tanong ko habang papasok kami ng main door. "Tiff?"

  She nods. Sumunod saamin sina Carson at Lucas sa likod namin nung pinigilan kami ng guards.

  "Pockets po, ma'am. Pati bag." Sabi nila saamin ni Jas. Pinakita namin 'yung mga belongings na dala namin tapos pinapasok na kami.

  It's good na may security. Meaning for sure, safe 'yung party! Pag pasok namin ni Jas, may nakita pa kaming mga guards na palakad lakad. Lumuwag ng konti si Jas kasi alam na niyang may security.

  Maingay ang tugtog pag pasok namin. Travis Scott ata 'yung tugtog eh. May nakita rin akong DJ sa backyard at may mga taong sumasayaw.
