The wedding finished at exactly five in the afternoon.

The reception is at their house since it was a secret wedding. They ate first before they had a party. The whole mansion was so loud, they were drinking too.

Hindi ko rin alam ang ginagawa nila but this one woman pushed me in the middle holding a kind of... garter? While the woman wearing a red fitted dress and almost seeing her cleavage was sitting on the chair.

Wait, I know this. I'll put the garter on her thigh, I can't do it.

"I have a girlfriend." I gave back the garter to the woman who pushed me.

"He has a girlfriend!" Dice shouted. "Huwag na si Nix. Iba na lang."

"It's fine! It's for a game lang naman!" The woman stood up.

"Sorry, Miss, but I don't want her to get mad at me once I do this. Just look for someone." I removed her hands from my arms. Iniwan ko siyang mag-isa sa gitna dahil ayoko talaga gawin. I know it's part of the wedding but I don't want to do it.

Mamaya mag-away pa kaming dalawa ni Darlene, mababaw lang naman pero ayoko pa rin. She doesn't know that I was in the wedding tapos gagawin ko pa 'yon? E'di mas lalo siyang nagalit.

It's ten at the evening kanina pa kami nakatayo. I'm not drinking, a bit, yes. Panay kasi ang bigay ni Harris, e, ayoko nga. Kanina ko pa rin minemessage si Darlene.

From: love
san u, mahal?

I made a reply.

To: love
Dice's house, party, drinking, love you.

She replied.

From: love
Oh, okie po, lovie, pero may klase bukas. kaya mo ba???

Harvey offered me a drink but I refused.

To: love
Uuwi na ako, mahal. I didn't drink a lot.

Tumayo ako para magpaalam kay Dice at sa asawa niya. I will go home now, may klase pa bukas. Hindi rin lang naman ako ang umuwi, even Trevor and our friends.

I went home and the whole house was too quiet but I headed to my room. When morning came, I did my usual thing every morning.

"Here." I handed the money to Phoebe.

"Thanks!" She smiled.

I don't know but she wants money so I gave her.

"I can buy books now,” she said while hiding the money in her wallet. "And also I can buy some stuff." Tuwang tuwa pa siya nang lumabas sa office ko.

Ano ba ang mayroon sa books na binabasa niya? Anyway, that's what she wants though so I just let her. Actually, lahat ng gusto niya, binibigay ko. You know, it's hard to say no.

Hindi kami nagtagal sa bahay dahil umalis na kami. These two are now studying face to face, hinatid ko pa silang dalawa.

"Bye, Kuya, take care." Phoebe waved her hands.

"I will." I smiled, una na siyang pumasok at naiwan naman si Preston sa shotgun. "Why are you not leaving?"

"Kuya, see that fucking guy?" He pointed at the guy who is fixing his hair. "I saw him putting a letter on Phoebe's locker."

"What?" I looked at him.

"But don't worry, I got this." Bumaba siya ng sasakyan. He didn't let me speak, basta basta siya pumasok sa gate. I saw a group of girls say hi to my brother while he just ignored them and went in Phoebe's direction.

Sinilip ko pa ang lalaking tinutukoy ng kapatid ko. He looks older than my sister. Balak ko sanang puntahan kaso pumasok na rin sa gate. A group of boys went to him, sabay sabay pa silang pumasok at dumiretso sa lugar kung nasaan ang mga kapatid ko.
