What the fuck?!

Nagulat ako nang makita ang post sa facebook page ng Filimon Heights. It was a list of fuckboys to avoid, and it included Jethro and Magno. Naiintindihan ko kung bakit nasa listahan sina Cohen, Haji, at Sawyer kasi malalandi naman talaga and deserve nila ma-expose, pero si Jethro at Magno? Puchangama. Biru-biruan lang naman ang kalandian ni Magno, at si Jethro ni hindi nga iyon namamansin ng mga babae kahit halos humandusay na sa harap niya.

"What happened?"

Reika's voice snapped me out of my reverie at napansin kong nabitin pala sa ere ang isusubo ko sanang noodles dahil sa nabasa.

"Someone just posted a list of fuckboys to avoid." I tried not to sound worried. 

"Buti nga sa kanila, exposed!" Humalakhak si Reika. Tuwang-tuwa pa.

"Kasali sina Magno, Jethro, at Sawyer sa litahan," dagdag ko dahilan para agad maglaho ang ngiti sa mukha niya.


Pagdating sa University compound, wala akong sinayang na oras at nagtungo agad ako sa sorority hall na nagsisilbing dorm ng members ng Akila Theta Sorority. It serves as their headquarters as well.

Kahit saan ako nakatingin, wala akong ibang nakikita kundi kulay pink. Mula sa mga dingding, paintings, carpet, at kurtina - lahat kulay pink. Kung nandito lang si Reika ay baka nagtatakbo na iyon palabas.

Colette lives here kaya naman ilang beses na akong nakakapunta rito — I know my way around the building and their house mother trusts me enough to let me in. 

I learned from Colette that the President of the Sorority gets to have the so-called "Penthouse" situated at the top and biggest room of the building kaya naman doon agad ako dumiretso. Naglalakad pa lang ako sa pasilyo ay amoy na amoy ko na ang magkahalong bango ng mamahaling perfume at shampoo ng mga nakatira rito. This entire place reeks of privilege. 

"Stacy?" I knocked on her door right away.  

"Come in!" I heard her yell in a sing-song voice.

I opened the door and stumbled upon a cesspool of all things pink and sparkling. I expected her room to be pink, but I didn't expect it to be like this — her room has a pink carpet, with all the golden poles by the side, that leads to a lit up stage where her huge bed is. And don't even get me started on how grand her bed looks like. Hiyang-hiya ang double-deck namin ni Reika na parang guguho na.

"Silver?" Lumingon sa akin si Stacy may hindi makapaniwalang ngiti sa kanyang mukha. Nakaupo siya sa harap ng kanyang vanity mirror na kulay pink din at tadtad ng mga ilaw, abala sa pagme-make up. She looks so pretty and expensive in her pink plaid skirt and white cami.
