Chapter 32

"I tell you, Gatorade. Don't ever, I mean never, let your eyes off her." bulong ni bebs kay Gatorade. Actually I don't know if that's really a whisper or what because I can hear it. "You don't know what you're messing with if you let her away from your sight."

"The hell bebs. Just get it started. Psh."

"See?" tinuro niya ako. "Wala pang alcohol yan! Nako."

Sinamaan ko lang siya ng tingin pero iniwas niya ang tingin niya sakin. Bwiset. She really knows how to get my nerves. Inayos na ni Marcus yung mga iinumin namin including the pulutan, chaser at yung vodka. Oh-kay, if you're judging me as drunkard for I know so many about these stuff, masama bang matutong uminom?

Yeah. We're one of those typical teenagers who get drunk if they want to.

"Ba't ka naman nagyaya mag-inom?"

"Tinatanong mo pa ako? As if gusto mo din naman. Hinihintay mo lang kaming magsabi." Inirapan ko si bebs. "You put liquors beside the snacks, bebs. Very obvious."

"Hey! In case of emergency lang naman. Like if you want or not."

Di ko nalang pinansin si bebs. Bumalik kami sa kanina naming pwesto nung naglaro kami ng 20 questions. Di pa kami tapos maglaro ni Gato. Wala. Naalala ko lang. Psh. Like I still want to play right?

Bwiset. Ba't ba ang bitter ko?

"Oh sinong start?"

"Bebs! Siya nag-aya e!" sagot ni bebs kay Marcus habang tinuturo ako. Di naman ako nagreklamo. Tinagayan ako ni Marcus at inabot sakin 'yung shot glass at yung baso na may lamang chaser. Inabot ko 'yun.

Vodka. Sht. 

"Wow. Instant blush." sabi ni Marcus nung kinuha sakin yung shot glass. Inubos ko yung chaser sa baso. Napabigla ang inom ko. Tsk. "Oy tama na yan! Haha. Vodka inuubos, hindi chaser."

Inabot ko naman yung baso sa kanya nung naubos ko na. Ramdam ko ang pagguhit nung alcohol sa lalamunan ko. Jeez Gab. Why did you even ask them to drink? Alam mo namang mahina ka dyan. Labo mo talaga.

Sumunod na uminom sakin si Gatorade at mabilis niya lang ginawa 'yun...ng walang chaser.
