Aizelle's POV
"Are we going to order another bucket?" Michelle asked. She was looking at Sandy who's still singing. Huminto naman si Sandy saglit, she nodded as her response and went back singing her song. Feel na feel niya pa. Ayaw magpaawat.
"I'm still okay. Tanungin mo kung gusto pa nila." Baron looked at me and Lucho-he was already nodding his head. Mukhang malakas iinom si Lucho.
"Wait lang! Nakakamagkano na ba tayo?" I protested, kind of worried becuase of the bill.
"Huwag kang mag-alala. Kami ang bahala sa bill. Teka! Ang pula mo na. Mag juice ka na nga lang." Baron suggested. "Ako okay pa. Nakakastress kasi talaga. Pakiramdam ko babagsak ako sa exams kaya gusto ko yung medyo namamanhid na 'yung mukha ko paguwi. Hindi naman ako magdadrive eh."
"Ako rin! I'm okay pa naman. Isa pang round and then let's go outside na para naman makasayaw tayo" Michelle said in excitement.
"Aizelle, your face is already flushed. Mag juice ka na lang"
"Hindi, okay pa naman ako. Ganitong lang talaga ako magrespond sa alcohol but I'm okay."
"Meztiza problems" Baron laughed.
"I thought you're worried about getting drunk ha? Gulo mo. Lasing ka na ba?" Michelle rolled her eyes.
"I'm not worried about being drunk. Gin nga ang tinitira namin pag may occassion eh. I'm just worried about Drei. Feeling ko magagalit siya eh" I finally blurted.
"If he's here, he'll join us for sure. Mahilig din mag-iinom yun pag stressed" Sandy interrupted, she stopped singing, kumuha siya ng Nachos tapos bumalik sa pagkanta.
I looked at her and I swallowed. Why is she talking as though she knows Drei better than I do? I'm the girlfriend!
I gritted my teeth and I know that moment, I was already irritated to her. Her unsolicited comments about Drei is slowly getting under my skin. What's more irritating about her is the fact that she's nice, and I sometimes I feel like it was never real or genuine, sometimes she's being sarcastic.
"Order pa tayo ng isa!" I said.
"Aizelle, are you sure?" Lucho asked, looking concerned.
"Sige lang! Busy naman si Drei. I know he will understand, stressed na rin kasi ako." I stated without looking at them. Nilagyan ko ng ice yung baso ko at nilagyan pa ng beer. Drei said that he'll join his father today, magbibike daw at magwowork out. May competition nga pala si Tito this year and he needs to prepare.
Oo, may kirot sa dibdib ko, na parang inisang tabi niya ako dahil doon. But it's wrong and I shouldn't feel that way, it's his family. Nakadagdag lang talaga itong si Sandy. Unti-unting namumuo sa dibdib ko ang selos sa kanilang dalawa. Nangangati ang dila kong itanong sa kanya kung bakit parang kilalang-kilala niya si Drei.
"Okay, but I want to dance! Promise yung katawan ko kanina pa gusto irelease 'tong mga pamatay kong moves." Michelle.
Baron and Lucho laughed at her.
"Sure!" I raised my glass. "Oh cheers! For us, para sa mga future engineers!"
"Yeey!"
"Whoo!!"
"Cheers!!!"
They laughed in unison.
We ordered another bucket of beer. The other side of the bar is exclusive for people who don't drink, if they just like to chill. Itong second floor naman, dito yung part na walwalan. May band and KTV rooms na consumable for two hours.
