Top Down [KN]

i. the game master

Azalea's POV

"Surprise!" bumukas ang ilaw at sumabog ang confetti. Tumawa si Kieran at lumapit sa amin. They greeted Kieran a happy birthday at binigay ang kanya kanyang regalo.

"20 ka na dude!" sabi ni Zuri kay Kieran. Tumawa sila at umiling naman si Kieran.

"What's with all the fuss at naisipan niyo pa talaga akong i-surprise?" tanong ni Kieran sa amin.

"Azale thought of it." sabi ni Samantha. Inirapan ko siya. Sinabi ko na sa kanila na wag sabihin kay Top na ako nag organize ne'to.

"I knew you we're rooting for me." inakbayan ako ni Kieran at agad kong inalis ito.

"Dream on." sabi ko.

The music started to play at umupo na kami sa couch. Nagsimula nang kumain ang iba habang ako nakikipag kwentuhan lang kay Maxene.

"Beshy, san si Cyrox?" tanong ni Samantha kay Scarlett. Nagkibit balikat si Scarlett at bumalik sa pag-kain. Take Note: Bawal istorbohin si Scar pag kumakain.

"Ano ba yan, ang boring." biglang sabi ni Tammaira. Lumingon kami sa kanya. "May kulang pa ba?"

Lumabas mula sa kitchen si Alex at Cyrox dala dala ang dalawang Jack Daniels at Black Label na inumin. Everyone howled at kumuha na ng kanilang mga baso. Nagkwentuhan kaming magbabarkada at sumayaw naman ang iba makalipas ang ilang oras.

"Guys! Laro tayo." suggest ni Scarlett. Um-oo kami at nagtipon. "What game babe?" tanong ko sa kanya.

"Top Down." sabi niya. Maxene raised her eyebrows at tinanong si Scar. "Pano yan? Never heard of that." tanong ni Max.

Tammaira leaned on me at bumulong sa akin na mainit daw. Hahaha orayt, dinadalaw na siya.

"Sino muna maglalaro?" tanong ni Samantha. Nag volunteer ako at nakita kong nag smirk si Top.

"Who wants to play with Azalea?" tanong ni Scar sa mga boys. Alex, Zuri and Kieran raised their hands. "Hoy, si Top nalang birthday boy!" sigaw ni Maxene sa boys. Tumawa si Top at tumabi sa'kin.

"How do we play that thing?" tanong ni Top kay Scarlett.

"Mechanics, this soda cover will be flipped. If your choice shows up, you win and your opponent loses. But wait, you'll have to answer questions inside this box and then if the other one gets to answer it first even if he/she loses the flip winner loses and vise versa. The winner can ask anything to the loser. It's a dirty game, no strings attached.  There's one rule that you should follow, never fall. If one of you fails, severe punishment is ready to welcome you. Ready or not?" Scarlett explained. Tumango kaming dalawa.

"TOP!" sabay na sigaw namin ni Kieran. Umiling ako. "Down nalang sa'kin. Kapangalan ko eh. Baka ako pa manalo." sabi ko. Tumawa sila at kinuha na ni Zuri ang soda cover.

"Ready?" tanong ni Ranger.

"Ready." we both answered.

"Top or Down?" Zuri flipped the soda cover at bigla naman akong nanlamig.

Tinignan ni Zuri ang result. "Kieran got the flip win." Nag facepalm ako at nag cuss.

"I should've picked Kieran eh." reklamo ko.

Samantha then took her phone and googled a question for us to answer.

"Okay, How can you drop a raw egg onto a concrete floor without cracking it?"

I thought of it for awhile then raised my hand to answer her question. I feel dumb for tricky questions but let—

"tricky, the egg won't crack the concrete floor dimwit." i looked at Kieran and gave him a bad look. He stole my godddamn answer.

"Okay, Top wins talaga."

"Bish, tapos na. Hahahaha better get ready sa gagawin ni Top sayo." Samantha teases. Inirapan ko siya at kinuha ang baso ko sabay upo.

"Pano yan? Akin ka na." I raised my middle finger on him at inirapan siya.
