Night above the City Lights

"Ate! He's the annoying guy I am talking to you." Talliyah looked at me with confused eyes. "The guy who called me 'weirdo' 'pakialamera' 'bingi' and 'assuming'. It's him!"

"Who?" She asked.

"Perseus." I lowered my voice because baka may makarinig. Kami na lang dalawa yung naiwan dito sa may dinner table dahil yung mga boys ay nagpunta sa living room. Kanina pa din kami nagkukwentuhan ng kung anu ano dito.

"Oh My Gosh! Really?" She laughed. "I thought you like him kase kanina ka pa tingin ng tingin sa kanya habang kumakain tayo."

"Of course not." I hissed. I don't like him. A badass like him is not my type of guy. "Is he really like that? I mean, always serious and grumpy?"

"Kinda." She shrugged. "He's acting like that lang naman when he doesn't like the person but... he's nice naman."

"Then does it mean that he don't like me? What did I do wrong ba?" Wala naman akong ginagawa sa kanya. In fact, tinulungan ko pa sya. I'm not a bad person kaya. Ako yung tipo ng tao na parang kapatid na yung turing sa mga friends ko. I love them so much. Hindi ako nakikipag away, well, minsan lang pero kina Russell and Vincent lang naman because they are annoying talaga. Hurting others is not my thing.

"Maybe he's interested to you. What do you think?" She playfully smiled at me. That's impossible.

"No. That can't be. Imposible." I looked down and play with my fingers. "Is it possible to hate a person without any valid reason?"

"Of course. That's what I feel towards Dana." I rolled my eyes.

"No wonder mag pinsan kayo." She laughed. "You two are both unbelievable. Are you alien?"

"No but I'm goddess." She waved her hand like a beauty queen. I just rolled my eyes and take the last bite of my dessert.

"It's already late. Do you have class for tomorrow?" I asked her. Mag 11:00 pm na and may class pa ako bukas ng 8:00, so, kailangan ko ng umuwi.

"No, dito ako mag oover night." She said. "How about you? Do you have class?"

"Well, yeah, I think we need to go na. My class will going to start at 8:00." She nodded at sabay kaming tumayo para pumunta sa living room.

Naabutan namin silang naglalaro ng PS4 habang yung iba naman ay nag iinom, mukang mga lasing na. Yayayain ko na ding umuwi yung dalawa kase sila yung maghahatid sakin and I think my class pa din sila.

"Where's Vincent and Russell?" Talliyah asked as we arrived in the living room.

"Hi Cassandra!" Chaster waved at me. Mukang lasing na din sya. "Si Vincent nasa room na nya tapos si Russell nasa guest room. Tulog na ang mga hinayupak! Nakaka anim na bote pa lang kami." He laughed. Nakita ko ang mga nagkalat na bote ng Jack Daniel's at Jose Cuervo doon.
