AFTER a couple of minutes driving in a fast pace, nakarating na ako sa hideout namin noon. The TIL, The Three Idiots' Lair. Which is basically me, Laurence and Jiro.

Hinubad ko na ang helmet na suot ko at medyo nagulo pa ang buhok kong hindi nakatali kaya inayos ko ito. As I landed my eyes in front of the wall full of vines, I suddenly felt the feeling of nostalgia.

It's really been awhile. Nakakakalma ang tunog ng kalikasan. As the crickets made noise with the slight sound of the wind, it sent chills down my spine. Hindi ko inakalang, babalik ako sa lugar kung saan ko muntikan nang napatay ang sarili ko.

I entered our property, only to be welcomed with the tree house na nakasindi ang lahat ng ilaw. Nandito na siguro sila. So I proceeded inside at dumeretso sa sala. Nadatnan ko ang dalawa na nakaupo sa couch with bowls on their arms filled with popcorn.

Nanonood sila ng isang horror movie. I walked without making any noise. I made sure to walk slowly so they won't notice me. Sobrang proud ko sa sarili ko dahil nagtagumpay akong maglakad na parang hangin lang.

"Boo!" Sigaw ko sabay tulak ng mga likod nila. "Ahh!!" Halos sabay nilang sigaw at nabitawan pa ang hawak hawak nilang popcorn. I was laughing like I'm going to lose my breath anytime. Their reaction is just so hilarious.

In short mukha silang tanga. Ke lalakeng tao, ke tatakutin. "H-hi." I managed to greet them pleasantly after ko silang gulatin. And why would they watch a horror movie na halos maghahating gabi na, tas matatakutin pa.

I bet they would their best nightmares later.

WE are currently watching movies when suddenly my phone rang. So I picked it up, nasa gilid ko lang naman kasi ito and then I swiped the green phone icon. As the time I accepted the call by Celian, I can clearly hear some murmurs.

Takang tinignan ko ang cellphone ko while the call is still on going. Hindi naman ako napansin ng dalawang kasama ko dahil tutok na tutok sila sa pinapanood naming Despicable Me.

"Pakinggan mo to..." Hindi na ako sumagot and ate some strawberries na nasa bowl ko.

"Hindi na ba talaga siya dadating? Awww, I want to make her watch pa naman on how we make talo to her minions."

Hindi ko pa naman nakikita ang pagmumukha ng nagsasalita sa kabilang linya ay gustong gusto ko na siya sakalin. A lot of girls chuckled on her remark, and I know it wasn't them, from my teammates.

"Why are you natahimik na ha? Thinking of backing out?" The same conyo girl asked marahil ay nanahimik nga ang mga kasama ko. I'm kind of happy for them, alam talaga nila kung saan ilulugar ang mga ugali nila.

I crossed my legs and listened intently. "I hope you'll not cry after this, masakit pa naman to." A new voice spoke. Napangiti naman ako. I like how brave they are.

"Where is she na ba? Is she afraid sa amin? And why are you wearing mask ba kasi? Are you takot ba na makita namin ang ugly faces niyo?" The side of my lip rose. Amazing, so amazing.

"Sasa? You still there?" Napatango naman ako kahit hindi nila ako nakikita.

"Yeah, still here. Let them talk, their very amusing."

"Sakura! Show yourself! We are challenging you on a battle! Kaya wag kang maging duwag at pumunta ka rito at harapin kami!" I chuckled. Napatingin sa gawi ko sina Jiro at Laurence so I gave them a thumb sign telling I'm good.
