OS #1: Chain Of Restrictions

11th Restriction

Kreia, Katalina, and I then talked about random things, while Mika as always, reading her manga. Dala niya pa rin yan?

"Friends! I'm sorry I'm late, I woke up late kasi." Dahlia appeared out of nowhere, she even takes the initiative to invite herself to sat on the chair on my left side.

Nakasuot siya ng intrams shirt, black plaid high-waist bodycon mini skirt, at naka-3 inch heels pa.

Teka, so tutuo yung sinabi niyang sasama siya? Sa amin?

I looked at Kreia na tinitingnan ang lahat ng galaw ni Dahlia. While Katalina didn't even bother to raise her eyes at the unknown visitor.

Hugh then arrives bringing our coffee. Umupo siya sa kanang upuan na nasa tabi ko and calmly gives me the coffee.

"Hi, babe!"

Napairap naman ako ng she called Hugh as 'babe', again.

Jowa mo girl?

I felt kinda happy when Hugh didn't even bother to look at her. He was just sipping on his black coffee and just scrolling on his black iphone 11, which was his 17th birthday gift from Mom and Dad.

7:31 am nang dumating si Karsyn, hinihingal siyang lumapit sa lamesa namin. Is this Deja Vu?

"I'm l-late kasi, Mom insisted on me to try the gowns she bought for the competition."

Hinihingal siyang umupo sa tabi ni Hugh, at ininom ang tubig ni Mika, Mika just looked at her and didn't say anything. Napalingon naman si Karsyn kay Dahlia at nagtatakang tinuro.

"Why is she here? Akala ko ba 'di niyo 'to kilala?" Dinig na bulong niya, tumaas naman ang kilay ni Dahlia.

"Oh! That's harsh. I'm by the way Dahlia, not Dalya. Nice to meet you, and you are?"

Nakatayong pagpapakilala nito as she raised her hand, magiliw namang tumayo si Karsyn at nag shake hands ang mga kamay nila ni Dahlia habang nagpapakilala.

Ang friendly ni Miss Pascua. Di naman napansin ni Karsyn ang pagtaas ng kilay ni Katalina, like she's asking what she's doing.

8:05 am, dumating narin ang magandang dilag na si Nicholette Padgett. Girl aga naman natin!

Sabay namin siyang tiningnan ng masama kasama rin ang 'uninvited', ang babaita naman ay masaya lamang kaming nginitian. Di man lang nag explain kung bakit siya late.

Pumunta kami sa college building and decided to try the booths that are currently available, 1:30 pm pa kasi bubukas ang horror booth. So we tried first the photo booth, walang magawa si Hugh at Carter ng pinili namin yon.

We strike different poses all together, of course kasali ang new member na si Dahlia, na sobra kung makalapit kay Hugh. Pinipigilan ko lang punain because that would be weird right?

Katalina and Karsyn then made me and Hugh take a picture together. Mabilis namang pumwesto si Hugh, which made me blush.

I went to his side, I felt his right hand on my waist and gently pulled me towards him, he then smiled for the camera. Ramdam ko ang init ng aking mukha as the photographer takes the picture, after saying 'smile'.

Sunod naming pinuntahan ay ang Disco booth. It's 9:31 am, ang aga-aga nagdidisco. We payed and went inside the booth, naramdaman agad namin ang init dahil sa mga taong nagsasayawan, may iba't-ibang kulay ang makikita sa loob na nanggaling sa bola na nasa itaas ng bubong. There's even a mini bar, of course it's only juices.

Naghanap kami ng pwesto, we take our seat at parang tanga na masayang tumawa. We're happy because we experienced to be on a disco without going to a club.

Tumayo si Karsyn at Nicholette to buy the drinks. Feel na feel namin na para kaming nagkaka-club. They arrived and distributed the drinks, we then made a toast, for our friendship. At ano ba, kasali din si Dahlia dyan.

'Di nakatiis si Dahlia at pumunta sa dancefloor. We loudly laughed when we saw her boldly swaying her body infront of some gentlemen with his girlfriend.

Nainis naman ang girlfriend ng lalaki at umalis, susundan sana ng lalaki ng seksing hinawakan ni Dahlia ang collar ng lalaki at pinagpatuloy ang pagsayaw.

Para namang nahipnotismo ang lalaki sa kanyang alindog, so they continued dancing together. Bitch talaga. Tumayo kaming lahat, except for Hugh, at pumunta sa dance floor.

Awkward akong napasayaw, when I felt Hugh staring, tinitingnan ang lahat ng aking galaw. Naghahanap ang mga mata nang pwedeng kamalian sa akin.

Maybe to try to get me off the dancefloor, knowing him.

Kaya lumipat ako sa pwesto na kung nasaan si Mika. Malayo kasi siyang nakapwesto, at natatabunan pa ng ibang tao, which blocks him from staring at me.

Have a talk with yourself first, Hugh. Stop distracting me.

Mika and I happily danced together, ang galing pala sumayaw ni Miss Okajima. Ehem, pwede na. Umakto akong parang lalaki at pumunta sa likod ni Mika. I hold her waist and we sway with the music.

Sabay kaming tumawa sa kagagagahan namin. Kahit tahimik si Mika sumasabay naman yan pag ganitong biro.

Pinuntahan namin sina Kreia at Karsyn na masayang sumasayaw, tas sinabayan sila. I excused myself when I felt that I need to pee.

Papuntang labasan, I saw Hugh looking where I'm going, nag-iisa siyang nakaupo sa pwesto namin. Pumunta ako sa cr and did my business.

Pagkalabas ko sa pintuan ng cr ay may biglang humawak sa aking pulsuhan at mahina akong hinila paharap sa kanya.

Carter?

"What is it, Carter? Do you need something?" Nagtatakang saad ko habang patingin-tingin sa kamay niyang nakahawak sa pulsuhan ko.

I anticipated his answer, bumuka ang labi niya to say something.

"Hands off, Holvan." Voice that's filled with cold warning is heard.

I felt the cold wind rush making my hair slightly move, as I looked at the person. Hugh?

Before I could talk, Kreia appeared, from his back.

"Carter?"

May kung anong emosyon ang dumaan sa kanyang mata, as she saw Carter holding my wrist.

Uh, What's with the sudden tension?
