Present

We are in the company van, and Manager El is driving. We're heading home from a photoshoot for an endorsement.

"Girl, seriously, you're so grumpy now," Lorjane said, laughing. "Don't you have a sex life?" Lorjane's laughter grew louder.

Oh, that's just how she is. If you hear her laugh?you'll really catch her vibe.

I'm not surprised anymore by Lorjane because that's really how she talks. Junella raised an eyebrow as she glanced at her, but still remained silent.

"Tignan mo oh? Mas lalo ka pang nagtataray hayy siguro tama ako wala kang sex life." Lorjane said, followed by a loud laugh. "Alam mo kase June, you can finger yourself in the bathroom and moan as loud as you can" Lorjane said directly, leaning her head back on her seat and closing her eyes.

"Ugh! Can you please shut up?" Yvonne replied irritably. "Your mouth is really rude. You know what? What if I record what you're saying and post it on social media, huh?" Yvonne threatened Lorjane, seemingly unfazed.

"Yvonne is right. Stop talking like that, Lorjane. What if there's a secret recording in the van, and it leaks? It's because of that mouth of yours," Rosevel calmly said.

"Pinagkakaisahan nyo ako ahh? June dude Ipagtanggol mo ako" nag-puppy eyes pa si Lorjane kay Junella pero hindi sya neto pinansin. "Hmp! Sungit ng mga tao ngayon. How about you Celine how's your sex--" Lorjane didn't finish what she was saying, and I was equally surprised to see how Junella's iPad flew from her hand. She threw it at Lorjane.

"Deserve!" Yvone said while laughing

"Hindi mo na talaga ako mahal June grabe ka na sa'kin!" Lorjane said with a frown, and she acted as if her heart was hurting.

"Don't you dare ask questions like that again to Celine." Junella said in a firm and low voice before she took the iPad from Lorjane's hand.

I'm already at the legal age, but whenever conversations like this happen, they still don't include me. Maybe sometimes they forget, or it's just become a habit since I'm the youngest among them. Just like during our trainee days, they really wouldn't include me in their discussions if it was about legal age matters.

It's awkward, so quiet that no one spoke. Everyone seemed hesitant, each one trying to figure out who would break the silence. "Let's drink." Phivie said softly, breaking the tension.

"DEAL" Everyone started getting along with each other. When it came to alcohol, they were faster than horses in agreeing. It had become their stress reliever. Lorjane went back to her loud and numerous stories, teasing Yvonne, who was getting increasingly irritated.

Meanwhile, Junella had her eyes closed, while I observed every place we passed by. Rosevel and Phivie, on the other hand, remained quiet, engrossed in their mobile phones. That's how the entire journey went until we reached our destination.
