GOT YOU BABY (on-going)

PROLOGO

I got my keys from my side pocket. It's 12 am in midnight. Malamig ang simoy ng hangin sa daan at parang umaambon pa nga. Manila is the city where there's no label of “rest”. Maingay parin at parang hindi man lang nauubusan ng mga sasakyan na bumibiyahe.

I coughed when the smoke of cigarettes caught my throat. I stared to Marky who basically doesn't care about his smoke.

“What?” parang wala lang s'yang pakialam sa usok ng sigarilyo niya.

“Stop using your ciggs inside my car, Marky.” I warned him.

Natawa naman ang tatlo sa likod. I don't why I am driving for them kasi basically hindi naman ako yung nagyaya para mag club. I don't go clubs kaya. Mas pipiliin kong mag-stay sa loob ng kwarto ko at magsulat.

“Lagot ka d'yan kapag iniwan ka niyan sa daan.” Carl chuckled

“Atleast let's just celebrate your achievements naman, hindi yung nagkukulong ka sa loob ng kwarto mo. I don't kung preso ka ba talaga.” Ethan said.

I'm going to Germany next week. No. Not going but staying for good. I am a exchange student. Last year I applied this for a good opportunity and yeah para umalis na rin sa Pilipinas.

Napatingin na lang ako labas ng bintana at tahimik na nagdra-drive.

Well, my life is not surrounded by a cigarettes, expensive cars, expensive suits, alcohols and some things that other kids can bragged about.

Kung meron mang mahal sa pagmamay-ari ko siguro itong Cal lang, my car. Mom bought this for me when I graduated high school, it's a gift before she died.

Well, kung hindi ako katulad ng mga ibang mayayaman na college student siguro I conclude myself as a nerd–BUT... not the nerd who wears thick glasses and always bring books, yung mga nerd na nakikita natin sa tv shows or movies, I'm not like that.

Besides, I still live the life and if I have a chance to drink with my friends, I still can.

WAIT – WHY I AM EXPLAINING BA KASI???

Na-park ko ang sasakyan sa bakanteng parking lot.

“EVERYONE LET'S GET WASTED!!”sigaw ni John pagkababa niya sa sasakyan.

It's true that Manila have no rest as the same of....

Xylo.

I locked the car and sumunod sa kanila papasok ng club. 12 am palang naman. When I entered umalingawngaw ang malakas na tunog ng party music at kasabay nun ang umaalingasaw na alak, pawis, sigarilyo at perfume ng mga tao.

The rate of university students here are 80%. Masyadong masikip papasok ngunit nakapasok naman kami ng maayos. People are dancing in the center of dance floor while the DJ playing some music.

Sumenyas si Carl sa akin na lumapit. “What is it?” I asked.

“Do you know her?” nakanguso niyang sabi.

He determined the girl who is sitting in the counter habang kausap niya ang mga friends nito.

Hmmm, quite familiar.

“No.” maikli kong sabi.

“She's Trixie from Tourism dept, maldita daw yan eh.” Marky said na nakatingin na din doon sa babae.

....parang hindi naman.

Her face is kind a optimistic maybe because of her red lipstick.

She is... she is pretty.
