The Sunset In Paradise (Seduction Series #3)

Chapter 1

Today is my high school graduation, me and my friends are taking pictures for memories.

"Congratulations, honey!" Mom walked to me with a smile and hugged me.

"Thank you, mommy!" I said.

"Congrats, anak. I knew you can do it!" Dad cheered.

"LA!" My bestfriends, Pia and Azrielle called me while running.

"Hey girls! Congrats!" I said and hugged the both of them.

"Sa'yo din! Oh my gosh, I can't belive we're proceeding to college, oh hi tito, hi tita!" Pia said, sobrang daldal talaga ng babaeng 'to, as in.

"Hello." My dad waved and chuckled.

"Hang out tayo later, sama natin si Lucas!" Aya ni Azrielle.

"Ah... Eh... Baka kasi-"

"No, its okay. Go ahead, we can celebrate later. Right, hun?" Dad cut me off.

"Sure anak, just know that we are really proud of you, okay?" Mom smiled.

"Thanks, mom."

"Now you guys can go na, don't be home too late, okay?" Bilin ni mommy.

"Yes mom, of course." I smiled and nodded.

We went to a mall, to eat lunch for our celebration. It's just me, Sophia, Azrielle, and Lucas. Kasama rin namin 'yung friend ni Lucas, 'yung Philip ata. I don't really know, we're not that close, but close siya ni Pia and Elle dahil daw naging schoolmate sila noon.

The Philip guy does look mature, he's already turning 2nd year college next school year. His brown hair is swept to the side, and he has rosy lips. He looks very cute though.

He is wearing a black button down shirt, with a pair of brown jeans, with white shoes. It is actually really awkward to be sitting in front of a guy, eating and you don't even know him! Hays, malay ko ba kasi na pupunta 'tong lalaking 'to.

They were talking about their plans for college, while me on the other side, I' just eating 'cause I really don't really care about anything right now. I'm just happy that I have finished high school.

"Ikaw, LA? What are your plans for college?" Pia asked, so they all looked at me. Including the Philip guy.

"Mmmm.. I don't know honestly. Well, I am planning to go to UP next school year, and siguro I will get a dorm, so iwas hassle for traffic." I said and sipped on my drink.

"Oh, me too. I'm planning for UP as well." Pia said.

"Let's go to UP kaya? Then we can be dorm mates!" I excitedly said.

"I like that idea! Oh my gosh!" Pia said and looked to me.

"So, ako iiwan niyo?" Singit naman ni Elle.

"Of course not, where ba plan mo?" I asked.

"UP din, college of dentistry."Elle answered casually.

"Wow, dentist! Hi doc!" Lucas teased.

"Fuck you." Elle whispered but enough for Lucas to hear.

We all laughed, and talked about stuff. All about summer, college, our future jobs and more.

"Well, ikaw Pip? Kamusta Ateneo? Yes naman, Atenean!" Lucas chuckled.

"Oo nga, Pip! How's Ateneo? Madaming gwapo ba?" Pia seemed interested.

Si Pia kahit kailan, ang hilig talaga sa gwapo. Sasabihin niya sa'min, 'uy crush ko 'to' 'crush ko siya' pero pag nilapitan na niya, torpe na. 'Yan tayo eh.
