Artashia's

On the way na kami papuntang SM, palaisipan pa rin sa'kin ang nangyari kanina. Unang beses ko'ng marinig na nagpipigil ng galit si Magnum. His tone was kinda scary, But i think okay naman na since we're in his car together all three.

I'm wearing a red hoodie and black pedal tsaka sling bad na rin with my hair tied as a ponytail. Syempre, kay Magnum 'tong hoodie. Habang ang suot naman ni Magnum ay button down yellow polo-shirt tsaka shorts with his fila shoes.

And last but not the least,Chanel with her crop top off shoulder, jeans, boots and her red glossy lipstick.

Bumaba na ako sa kotse at naunang pumasok, nilibot ko ang mata ko sa paligid and nakita ko naman agad kung saan banda naghihintay sila Margo.

" Girls! " i waved hi to them at nagtatakbuhan naman silang parang mga bata palapit sakin. i hugged each one of them.

" Asan kasama mo? " Katie asked.

" Ah sila Magnum at Chanel ba? andun pa sa labas e. "

" Speaking of the pokpoks. " ani ni Fele na nagpalingon samin at nakita sila Magnum at si Chanel na nakahawak sa kamay ni Magnum.

" Tara na? Hanap tayo pagkain sa groceries. " Aya naman ni Katie.

" You spend your summer crying, kung kailan tayo uuwi sa atin e tsaka ka lang nakalabas. " i smiled at Fele habang tinutulak ang Cart.

" It's okay, may oras pa naman. Kaya nga we'll spend the last night at Magnum's condo. " Sabi ko at sabay pulot ng Koko Crunch.

" Kumuha ka na rin ng corn flake cereals, Edi alam na nila Tita Krei na uuwi ka rin kinabukasan? "

" Yup, besides magiging happy naman do'n sila dahil andun papa ko. "

" Artashia... Masakit pa rin ba? "

I sighed. " Yes, masakit na nalaman ko na yung ka ldr ko pala for 1 year ay pinagsasabay lang ako. Masakit rin na yung isang lalaki pang mahal ko ay cheater din, at yon ang papa ko. "

" I'm glad you have or we have Magnum beside us, no? "

" Yes, I'm very greatful. "

Nginitian ko nalang si Fele at tumuloy na kami sa pagpuno ng aming cart, nang makarating kami sa cashier ay do'n ko lang nakita kung gaano ka assigned ang pinamili namin.

Sila margo at chanel ang may hawak ng push cart na puno ng beers, jeez makikita ko na ba mamaya ang Panginoon? habang sila Katie naman at Magnum ang may dala ng meat, at snacks. Napatingin ako sa dala namin, ulam at biscuits? siguro sa byahe namin to kailangan.

Nang matapos kaming magbayad ay pumunta muna kami ni Maggie sa car parking, inilagay muna namin don ang mga pinamili namin.

Nang makabalik kami sa may bench, ay nakita naming may kausap silang tatlong lalaki. I'm in trouble.

Napahawak ako sa dulo ng damit ng kasama ko, agad naman namang kumunot ang noo niya na parang kilala niya ito.

" Art! Look who's here!" kumunot ang noo ko habang inaalala kung sino ngaba sila.

" Hey, I'm Trick. " tinanguan ko lang siya.

" And I'm Urie. " he offered a handshake, i was about to accept it when a guy blocked my view.

" My name's Flavio. " he gave me a light kiss which made me froze. I was about to slap him ng maunahan ng suntukin ni Magnum si Flavio.

Pinagtitinginan na kami ng mga tao at pinipigil naman ng mga kaibigan ko si Maggie. Napapunas ng labi si Flavio dahil may dugo rito, napalakas nga ata ang suntok ni Magnum.

I snapped to my senses,agad kong hinila palabas si Magnum. Nakabalik na kami sa loob ng sasakyan.

" M-magnum " naiiyak na ako, hindi ko inakalang gagawin yon sakin.

" Hey, it's okay na. i punched him " he hugged me tight as I cry on his chest.

Nang kumalma ako ay nauna na kami papuntang condo, I texted them na sumunod nalang after what happened. Magnum offered me a popsicle.

He was still silent and so was i hanggang sa dumating na sila Fele, agad naman nilang tinanong kung anong nangyari after.

"I'm okay, everything's fine now. Except for him." i pointed at Magnum. "Who was that guy by the way?" I asked.

" He was, my friend?" Katie answered.

"You're not even sure if he was. Tell me, he was once your making out partner" Felecia replied.

"Kinda? look, I'm sorry i didn't know he would act that way. i mean he kissed all of us naman!" pasigaw na pagdedepensa ni Katie sa sarili niya.

"Ganoon ba?" i think that was really his way of greeting people,but he should change his mannerism though.

"Yes. Pero the thing is, he kissed all of us..." Margo paused making sure i don't get shock."sa cheeks nga lang, but sayo? lips."

"Still a fuckboy." Magnum talked after being silent for hours.

"Do you know him,Maggie?" Chanel asked,everyone stared at him.

"Uh-huh i always saw him in the bar a year ago." i nod after what he said.

" What the hell are we waiting for! Case solved!! Let's start drinkiiing!" Chanel shouted while holding two beers up high in her hands.

We started digging to our snacks and our drinks. There were lots of beers since sila Katie ang namili kanina, tss experts. There's black label, jack daniel's, San mig for me, smirn off and many more!

" Are we really going to get wasted? a day before our flight?" nanigurado ako dahil siguradong bukas nito ay bagsak ang mga gaga.

"Yeees!" they all screamed while dancing to the beat.

"Okay! for today I'm your DJ Art, serving you with the hottest and sexiest songs you'll ever hear in a drinking session!" My girls clapped in unison as they wait for the next song to play.

(Try listening to Baby Shark Remix lol)

"Pota jejemon!" Sabi pa ni Fele at ibinato sa'kin ang isang bag ng junk food.

"Tanga! umasa ka naman na matino ang mga playlist ko!" i laughed.

"Bitchh! that's my jam!!" Chanel shouted while twerking to the beat of the song.

"Damn! Go girl, shake that booty!" pagsusuporta pa ni Katie kay Chanel, palibhasa nagpapaturo mag twerk kaya ganyan.

Hours passed, I played a slow song to make them calm for a while. I started eating the junk food that Felecia offered me earlier, ngayon lang ako nagutom.

"Want a drink?" i faced the man beside me. Magnum's hot today, especially with that kind of hairdo and his button down polo na nakabukas ang unang tatlong butones.

"Hey, alam kong pogi ako pero magkaibigan tayo. Di tayo talo no!" Sabi pa nito, di ko namalayang nag space out na pala ang sarili ko kakafocus sa kanya.

"Maka ano naman to! syempre hindi tayo talo!" inirapan ko siya

"Di mo ba talaga ako magugustuhan?" he asked, nananadya ata to eh

"Hindi nga! sabi mo di tayo talo!" he frowned. " Oh parang tanga, siya nagpapasakit sa sarili niya."

Magnum left without saying anything, umupo nalang muna siya sa sofa habang ang girls ay nag partner para sumayaw kuno.

Hindi ko na lamang siya pinansin dahil mas naituon ko ito kay Margo na may pinagbuksan sa pintuan, agad kong hininaan ang volume ng speakers para marinig ko ang pinag uusapan nila.
