It's already night time means it's party time but Cairo and his paranoid ass kept on messaging me so I turned off my phone para hindi niya ako maistorbo, I'm not the mood to listen to his problems. It's nine o'clock kaya we decided to go in, of course they checked our IDs at ayaw pa nilang maniwala na hindi na kami minors. Ang hirap kase talaga kapag baby face but whatever, naka pasok na kami. We just had to do something ridiculous which is give someone else's phone number, why would I give mine?

Kasalukuyan na kaming nag sisimula, Ember and I are just here sitting but Xandra and Jianna are surprisingly on their hyper modes. Can't blame Xandra though, minsan lang siya maka punta sa mga ganito. Having a strict family can really cause a head ache, I can't relate because my mom is sick while my dad is gone. My siblings doesn't give a damn about me because malaki na daw ako, if ever na mabuntis ako or what then that's on my account.

Wala akong karapatang sisihin sila o ang kahit na sino dahil ako mismo ang gumawa ng desisyon, sinabi rin nila na I'm smart enough to knew what's best and what's not. Tama naman sila sa bagay na yon but are they really expecting na lahat ng matatalinong tao ay perpekto? Yes I'm smart but I'm not a god, hindi ako perfect and I will never be.

"Wyn? Ayos ka lang ba? Kanina ka pa tulala, wanna dance? We can join those two if you want". Aniya ni Ember. I shook my head and sighed heavily, that I did made her worried so she sat down beside me. Hindi siya umiinom ng todo ngayon, mas nagulat ako doon kaysa sa makitang naka hyper mode yung dalawa.

"Since we don't have anything to talk about, aaminin ko na sayo kung sino ang boyfriend ko. Don't get me wrong, hindi kita iniinggit. I just want to inform you para hindi ka magalit dahil itinago ko ng matagal". She announced out of the blue. What she uttered got my attention so sumenyas ako sa kaniya na pwede niya ng ipag patuloy ang kwento niya, curious din ako kahit alam ko naman kung sino yon.

"Bryson and I are dating for about a week now". Dagdag niya pa. Hindi ko sinasadyang maibuga ang alak na nasa bibig ko dahil sa gulat, tama ang hula ko and I already knew about it but still? I'm surprised. Inaasahan ko na ang sagot na yan pero hindi pa rin ako maka paniwala, how the fuck did that happened?

"I knew that you and him are dating cause it's obvious and I'm you best friend, I started noticing that since last semester but how did two you became a thing? I mean I rarely see you talk to him, are you perhaps? meeting him secretly?". I replied. Hahayaan ko naman siyang matapos sa pagku kwento pero gusto ko lang talagang itanong, my best friend is dating Bryson Kim na kasalukuyang free loader sa bahay ko?

Ano kayang magiging reaksyon ni Ember kapag nalaman niyang naka tira ang boyfriend niya sa bahay ko?? Cairo is also staying at my place but hindi ba siya magagalit sa'kin? It's not like pag nanasaan ko ang boyfriend niya. Yung apat na jerks na yon ay talaga namang mga gifted lalo na sa itsura pero if I were to ask? I think, I'd pick none of them! Pare-parehas silang pahirap sa buhay ko.

"We'd always bumped into each other tuwing nandito ako sa bar and there's actually a time when I accidentally kissed him, sinasadya ko yon but instead of taking advantage? He didn't kiss back that night. Nalungkot ako non pero hindi ko siya masisi, he's not the type of guy na paiiralin ang kalibugan niya to satisfy his needs". Pagpapa tuloy niyang paliwanag.

What? Sinasadya niya yon?! Oh my goodness, I can't believed that she would actually do that but whatever. That kiss probably became a brigde para magkatuluyan sila, now I know I can trust Bryson now dahil nang galing na kay Ember mismo. I felt relieved, I no longer have to worry about their relationship. After all, nasa bahay lang si Bryson. I can butcher him alive kapag gumawa siya ng kalokohan.
