BOTHERED

CHAPTER TWENTY FIVE: The Curve

Nayeli

I tiptoed towards the main door of our house hoping that no one would notice me. If my mom knows that I am going to a place called The Curve she would not definitely allow me to go. The name sounds like a bar or a place where delinquent teens go.

I was just about to turn the door knob when I heard someone clearing her throat pagtingin ko sa likod I was relieved to see Tony standing behind me. She is looking at me with narrowed eyes at nakapa meywang pa.

"Hep! At saan mo namam balak pumunta ng ganitong oras Ate Nayeli?" She asks me while tapping her foot on the floor.

"Aalis lang ako sandali...teka nga! Bakit parang kung umasta ka mas matanda ka sa akin ha?!"

"If mom knows about this lagot ka na! Noong isang araw gabi ka na din nakauwi diba?" Tony said.

"C'mon Tony! Wag mo na akong isumbong please. May kailangan lang talaga kaming puntahan ni Tyler." I reasoned out.

Nagbuntong hininga si Tony then she walks towards me. "Ate even if pumapalya pa itong third eye ko and my perception I think mabuting ghost naman yung si Kuya Tyler but you still have to take care of yourself. Don't trust too much like before okay?" Tony said. I just nodded.

Paglabas ko ng gate naghihintay na doon si Tyler. Tyler looks at me from head to toe. He ordered me to wear something comfortable and no heels. I ask him why pero di nya ako sinagot.

May dress code ba dun sa The Curve at kailangan pa akong magsuot ng ganito?

"San tayo miss?" Tanong nung driver ng taxi na nasakyan ko. I told him the address na sinabi sa akin ni Tyler.

After forty five minutes I am already in front of a huge steel gate.

Nasaan yung bar?

"What are we doing here?" I ask Tyler.

"Just follow me and do everything that I tell you para makapasok tayo." Tyler said. I quietly followed him as we walk towards two huge men guarding the gate.

"Hi!" I greeted them. They looks scary! Parang mga bouncer sa isang club. I swear di sila gumalaw sa kinatatayuan nila yung eye balls lang nila ang gumalaw to look at me.

"Guest o magpapalista?" One of them asks me.

"Tell them magpapalista ka." Tyler instructed.

"Magpapalista." I answered then the other huge guy looks at me from head to toe tapos kumunot yung noo nya then he smirks at me. Psh!!! May problema ba sa hitsura ko?! Ano ba itong The Curve at kailangan pang magpalista para lang makapasok ako dito?

After I wrote my name on the list and getting a picture binuksan na nina kuya yung maliit na door sa may steel gate and I stepped in.

"Hoy Tyler! Baka naman may illegal na nangyayari sa loob ng bahay na yan ha. Bakit kailangang may picture ek ek pa?" I said while we were walking inside.

"Wala. Trust me." Tyler replied.

"Para saan ba yung pagpapalista at picture?"

"Para yun sa mga racers na gustong sumali mamaya." Tyler answered. Napahinto ako sa paglalakad. I think he just said race. Tama nga ba yung rinig ko?

"Anong race? At bakit naman ako nagpalista dun?"

Tyler stops from walking then nagbuntong hininga sya before looking back at me.

"You are racing tonight. It's the only way to get you in here." Tyler said making my mouth hang wide open.

He is got to be efffing kiddin me!!!!!!!
