PENNY
IMINULAT ko ang mga mata ko at unang bumungad sa 'kin ay ang kulay puting kisame. I blinked a couple of times to make my vision clear and even though my head still feels like hell, sinikap ko pa ring bumangon.
I looked around and realized that I was in an unfamiliar room. Maliit lang ang kwarto at kulay pastel orange ang mga dingding dito. May malaking wooden cabinet din na malapit sa nag-iisang pinto. Judging by the room's preference of color, nasa kwarto siguro ako ni Clifford ngayon. As far as I know, orange is his favorite color.
Umayos ako ng upo at napahawak sa masakit kong ulo. This is my second time having a hangover and boy I must say, I sure do hate it.
Kahit pakiramdam ko ay parang sasabog ang ulo ko sa sobrang sakit, pinilit ko pa ring tumayo. As I stood up, I realized that I was still wearing my hoodie jacket and jogger pants.
Lumabas ako ng kwarto at tumambad sa 'kin ang living room. I looked around and immediately recognized Clifford when I saw him lying down on the sofa. At sa isang iglap, biglang bumalik sa isip ko ang mga nangyari kagabi.
"Iʼm sure about this. Penelope should pursue her studies in another country. Weʼll make sure that sheʼll get the most quality education there."
"Tamo! Kaya doon na lang tayo sa bahay. Baka kung saan ka pa magpunta, ano pang mangyari sa 'yo."
"Kung may problema ka — kung anuman 'yan... pwede mong sabihin sa 'kin. Nandito lang ako sa tabi mo na handang makinig sa 'yo."
I suddenly felt my heart race again, making me hold onto my chest as I continued to look at Clifford who was still sleeping soundly.
Shit! What the hell is happening to me?! Bakit ba ganito ang tibok ng puso ko? Hindi pa rin ba nawawala ang alak sa sistema ko?
Hindi kaya...
Unti-unting namilog ang mga mata ko.
Posible kayang nagkakagusto ako kay Clifford?
Fuck! Hindi ako pwedeng ma-in love ulit sa taong iba ang mahal! And to make it much worse, he and Mason are both in love with the same person!
Napabuntong-hininga ako.
No. Penny, calm yourself. You can't like Clifford. Isa kang malaking tanga kapag nagkagusto ka pa sa kaniya. You already know that heʼs in love with your best friend. Just like you, heʼs still suffering from an unrequited love.
Just like me...
Naputol ang pag-iisip ko nang biglang umungot si Clifford. At first, I thought he was waking up but he only changed his position. Nakahinga naman ako nang maluwag sabay tingin sa wall clock na nasa malapit at nakitang 10 AM na pala.
My eyes suddenly widened when I realized my situation right now. Nag-inom ako sa bahay ng kaibigan ko nang hindi man lang nagpaalam sa kahit kanino man na aalis ako. I just ran away in the middle of the night out of the frustration Iʼm feeling towards my parents.
