(FHS #3) Most people say she's a rebel, others call her a badass, but Reika De Juan is just a girl who follows her heart. So much that she ends up following the gay of her dreams, even if it means returning to Filimon Heights.

Magno was out cold so he ended up in the backseat next to me while Slade sat in the front, taking his place. Haji on the other hand was still at the back, drunk as fck while blabbering over and over again about Denver and Braylee.
"Rei, pakisampal nga si Haji!" Sawyer yelled from the driver's seat. "Kanina pa 'yan nagda-drama doon, nakakahiya sa mga kamag-anak ni Braylee."
"Sige pagtulungan n'yo akong lahat! Pare-pareho lang kayong winawasak lagi ang puso ko! Ubos na ubos na ubos na ako!" Pagda-drama pa ni Haji. Hindi ko tuloy alam kung maaawa ba ako sa kanya, matatawa, o maiinis.
Magno started mumbling and whimpering kaya naman hinila ko siya at pinahiga sa hita ko.
"Shut up na, oo na, tulog na." Paulit-ulit kong sambit nang marahan kahit pa hindi ko marinig nang maayos ang pinagsasabi niya. Hinila ko ang kanyang mga hita at paa paakyat sa upuan para 'wag itong mangalay.
Magno laid on the seats in a fetal position, his head lying on my lap while his hands are draped on the floor. His eyes were closed but he still kept mumbling incoherent words as if it was he was upset over something.
"Sorry...'di ko alam..." That was all I could make out from his mumbling.
"You're forgiven. Sige na, tulog na." Sabi kong muli kahit di ko naman alam anong pinagsasabi niya. I stroked his hair lightly, trying to give him comfort. Soon after, I began massaging his temples and next thing I know he was already asleep.
Lumingon ako upang tingnan anong ginagawa ni Haji lalo't natahimik ito at nakita kong tulog na rin pala ito dahil sa sobrang kalasingan.
I sighed in relief. Sa wakas may kapayapaan na rin sa loob ng sasakyan.... pero panandalian lang pala dahil muli na namang nagkaroon ng himagsikan sa puso ko nang makitang nakalingon pala sa direksyon namin si Slade at nakatingin mismo sa akin.
I raised an eyebrow.
He smirked in response and faced front again.
"Demonyo." I whispered to myself as sank to my seat.
It happened so many times during the ride; Slade turning to my direction just give me a glance. Sometimes it felt like he was even looking at me through the windshield's reflection. I felt like a little demon melting.
I tried to distract myself by taking care of Magno. I continued gently stroking his hair while gently patting his back. Back when we were kids, Grandma used to do that to us whenever we were sad or too tired. I missed her so much.
Patagilid ang higa ni Magno sa akin kaya naman I took advantage of his wide shoulders and leaned my head towards it, making him my makeshift pillow.
"Driver slower, baka tumilapon sila." Narinig kong sambit ni Slade kay Sawyer.
Mariin kong ipinikit ang mga mata at pinilit ang sariling huwag matawa. Huminga ako nang malalim at pinilit ang sarili kong matulog ngunit hindi mawala sa isipan ko ang napag-usapan namin ni Slade.
