Chapter 18

Shoot and Win

Nang makitang bubuksan na ni Fourth ang pinto ay may na-realize ako kaagad. I immediately followed him and closed the door that he just opened.

Taka siyang tumingin sa akin. "What are you doing?"

Tumingala ako sa kaniya. "Nasa baba pa ang mga kaibigan mo, Fourth. Baka magtaka sila bakit sabay tayong bumaba."

Right. I just went here because I thought he is injured or somthing. Wala sa plano na lumabas kami.

"It doesn't matter. I know for the fact that my friends lied to you because they want me to come out already. I'll take to them later. Don't worry and just follow me." binuksan niya ang pinto.

Wala akong nagawa nang lumabas na siya. He walked down the stairs while I was just beside him. Hindi ko alam kung bakit ako kinakabahan. Ano naman ngayon kapag nakita nilang sabay kaming lumabas? What were you thinking, Astra?

Nang makarating sa sala ay nakita ko na kaagad ang dalawang ulo na nasa sofa. Nicolas and Kaleb are playing some games with their playstation. Tutok na tutok sila roon at mukhang nagtatalo pa. Hindi na ako magtataka kung bakit ito ang mga kaibigan ni Fourth.

Nakita ko naman si Pierce na nakahiga sa isang wooden sofa sa porch habang may nakatakip na magazine sa kaniyang mukha. Ang kanang kamay niya ay nakapatong sa kaniyang tiyan habang ang kaliwa naman ay pinapatungan niya ng kaniyang ulo kahit may unan naman siya.

He's sleeping.

Kahit na nasa labas siya ay kitang kita siya mula sa loob dahil ninety percent ata ng unang palapag ng bahay ay nababalutan ng mga malahiganteng salamin.

"Yo, Fourth! Sa wakas ay lumabas ka na rin. I knew sending a girl to your room will make you come out."

Napalingon ako sa may kusina nang lumabas galing roon si Revo na may dala dalang apat na can ng beer sa magkabilaang kamay.

His eyes drifted on me and then on Fourth who wasn't even looking at him.

"Gago pre, ang aga pa ah. You didn't even wait till nightime. Nako, di pwede yan. Malalagot ka na naman sa Peacemaker." umiling-iling si Revo habang naglakad patungo ila Nicolas at Kaleb na ngayon ay nakapansin na rin sa amin.

"Si Fourth yan eh. He's the guy who can't control his libido!" Nicolas said while his eyes is still on the screen.

"Fuckers, that's Pierce's friend. Sigurado masasapak kayo ni Pierce kapag narinig niya kayo." naging mabilis ang pagpindot ni Kaleb sa switch. "Tangina mo, Nicolas. Ang daya mo!"

Kaleb's groans echoed in the whole room. Natalo kasi siya ni Nicolas sa nilalaro nila.

Inilapag ni Revo ang dala dalang mga can ng alak habang nasisiyahan sa pagkatalo ni Kaleb. Lumingon siya sa amin.

"Fourth, I swear I'm not gonna tell Pierce about this but in exchange, buy me the latest—"

"Fuck off, Revo. Nothing happened. And I'm not gonna buy that stupid costume so stop asking me for the nth time," Fourth scowls.

Sumimangot si Revo. "Hindi nga iyon costume. It's a fucking outfit, Fourth. Anyway, what do you mean nothing happened? So you two didn't made out of somthing?"

Fourth frustratedly brushed his hair with his hand like he just heard something stupid from his friend.

"No. Take that dirty mind of yours somewhere else."

Humarap si Kaleb sa amin at ipinatong ang kaniyang braso sa sandalan ng couch.

"Why does she have a different clothes then? She came here with her uniform, Fourth." aniya.
