Hell Section 2.0

9. Seventh Member

DAMON

Everybody has been waiting for this night because later in the party, we will be introducing the seventh member of the devil's circle.

The boys and I had gone through a lot of arguments regarding this matter. It was very difficult to get their approval.

Honestly, I couldn't blame them. Having a new member after almost four years is a drastic decision.

Before coming up with this, we have considered all the possible consequences. We would never want to taint or destroy the reputation of our section and our circle.

I told the boys that I'll be responsible for everything. I guess that made them feel somehow at ease. I know that they trust me. In the first place, it was me who convinced this person to be a part of the devil's circle.

We are at the bar now. The bar is owned by Scott. He got this as a birthday present last year.

We are expecting twenty people from hell section tonight. Blaze and Ice have chosen them.

I also heard that the newcomer, who keeps on boasting his surname, demanded for an invitation.

Blaze is right. The guy has guts. I just told them not to take him too seriously. He's new and he's clueless about many things.

The party is about to start. The boys are already entertaining the guests. I'm still here in the VIP room waiting for our new member.

Someone knocked at the door and when it opened I saw Blaze.

"He's here." he said.

I already prepared myself for this. Things might not go well as planned, but I shouldn't let this thought bother me now.

Tonight is the night and there is no turning back.

Isang box na ng pizza ang nauubos ko. Patapos na rin ang movie na pinapanood ko.

Nagpabili din ako kay manang ng mango ice cream sa may malapit na convenience store.

Kanina ay nag-video call kami ng barkada. As usual, nasa bar sila dahil weekend. Iniingit ako ng mga unggoy.

Hindi naman bawal sa akin ang lumabas. I just need to get uncle's permission. Kahit naman gusto ko ay hindi ako makapag-walwal. Wala naman akong kasama at wala rin akong sasakyan.

Niyaya ko na lang silang pumasyal dito next weekend.

Mag-isa lang ako dito sa family area ng bahay. Lumabas kasi si Uncle Ace. Makikipag-inoman daw sa mga tropa niya.

Si Boy Kulog naman ay nasa kuwarto niya. As if naman na yayayain ko siyang manood kasama ko. Ano siya sinuswerte?

Kanina pa 'yon hindi mapakali. Para siyang natatae na ewan. Dedma rin siya sa pangtitrip ko.

Nagpapalamig lang talaga ako ng ulo. Hanggang ngayon ay badtrip na badtrip pa rin ako sa nangyari. Hindi ko papalagpasin ang ginawa nila. May araw din sila, lalo na 'yong Uno.
