3 YEARS AGO

"Beatriz! Get your freaking ass up!" Maddie shouted at Bea who was on her stomach. She was acting as if she didn't hear any of Maddie's words.

"Beaaaa!" She also heard Kat's voice who started to shake her violently.

"Ayoko ngaaa!" Bea shouted, although muffled by her pillow.

Bea, unfortunately for them, didn't budge even after she replied and continued to bury her face on her pillow. Both Maddie and Kat sighed and looked at each other before nodding.

Bea has been avoiding them all day. Akala niya hindi na siya hahanapin nung dalawa dahil gabi na but oh boy, did she thought wrong. Dumating silang dalawa at 9PM sa Casa de Leon.

Apparently, the two waited for the sun to set at talagang gumabi para puntahan nila si Bea sa bahay sa LGV. They made sure na late at night para makapagpaalam sila sa parents ni Bea about the party that they're going to attend and well, both of Bea's parents really can't say no to Kat and Maddie.

Kaya andito sila ngayon, trying their best to separate the 5 foot 10 woman from her bed.

They just graduated 4 days ago and one of their batchmates is hosting a party at his rest house. The guy made his house open for everyone in their batch kaya naman expected na sobrang daming pupunta. They heard he throws the best parties since he owns clubs and bars around the metro.

Bea goes to parties naman lalo na kung kasama niya sina Maddie and Kat. She also goes kapag kasama niya 'yung ex boyfriend niya. But when they hit their senior year, parang napagod na rin siya kaya minsan nalang siya pumupunta, kapag kasama lang niya si Wacky or when Maddie and/or Kat decides to celebrate their birthdays.

These days, though, sobrang daming parties lalo na since they just graduated but the most awaited party was the one happening tonight kaya gustong-gusto pumunta nina Maddie and Kat. They were talking about it since last week! Kaya ginawa ni Bea ang lahat today para hindi sana makapunta kasi hindi niya talaga feel magparty.

Bea didn't hear Maddie's voice anymore so she sighed in relief. Baka napagod na, she thought. Kanina pa siya pilit na pinapatayo nina Maddie but she's definitely glued to her bed. Sarap kaya humiga!

Just when she thought they finally gave up, Bea felt two different pairs of hands holding her by her ankles kaya agad siyang napatingin sa paanan niya. And there, she saw Maddie and Kat holding her by her ankles.

Her eyes definitely grew wide at the sight. Are they...

The two just smirked at her before looking at each other, "1.. 2.. 3..!"

"What the fu-- AAAAAAAAH!" Bea squealed as she felt herself being dragged all the way to the foot of her bed.

A loud thud was heard as Bea fell face flat on the floor.

"Aray, tangina!" She winced as she tried her best to sit on the floor. She scowled as she turned to look at her two friends, who even had the audacity to laugh.

"What the hell was that for?!" Inis na tanong niya sa dalawa.

"Serves you right! Just in case you forgot, we've been here for almost 30 minutes already!" Kat just raised her right brow at Bea.

"And we have a party to attend to, Beatriz. Maligo ka na." Maddie reached out to offer her hand for Bea to take to help the latter stand up. Bea accepted the help but rolled her eyes at her friends.

"Is 'I don't want to go' too hard to understand?" Bea crossed her arms in front of them. They were both in their casual party outfits already. Maddie wore a black halter top paired with white pants and sneakers while Kat wore a black tube top and skinny jeans with white strap on sandals.
