She's Not Her

Our secrets to tell

| Our secrets to tell

My brother is kissing my best friend while staring at us, or maybe at me.

I don't know what to say.

"Woahh!" Andre shouted, proudly at his best friend. The kiss ended with L walking out and my brother still staring at us while smirking and everyone cheered for them.

"Did you know about this?" B whispered at me me, confused. Do I? I don't know? How am I supposed to know?

"No, I wasn't informed they had something .." I wasn't able to finished what I was saying because B cut me off.

"Of course you don't. L didn't tell us!" She said hysterically while looking at the people. "And I bet your brother won't even care to tell you." And then she walks out, leaving me. I was about to call her when a hand grab mine.

"I'll get you a drink, c'mmon!" Napatingin ako sa kamay nya na nakahawak sa kamay ko, sa mga tao sa paligid at sa kapatid ko na nakatingin sakin. Why is he looking at me like that?

"What?" Tanong nya habang naka tingin sakin at sa kapatid ko. "C'mmon cal, it's just a drink and it's my birthday." He said while dragging me out of the scene where in, just a moment ago.

Do I have a choice? Ugh Andre Sy, are we even close?

Dumiretso kami sa kusina. He motioned me to sit near the counter top while he went to the fridge to get us some drinks.

Hindi ko pa rin ma digest yung nangyari kanina. Why is L making out with my brother? Tapos nag walk out sya. And then B gets confusingly angry about it. Tapos nag walk out din sya.

Just why is everyone walking out from me tonight?

"Cali!" I was back from my nonstop thoughts when Andre called me. Napatingin ako sakanya.

"Vodka or tequila?"

I didn't know what's gotten into me but, "Tequila please, I need something hard tonight." He laughed at my response before getting my drinks.

"Alright, tequila it is." Sabay lapag ng dalawang shot glass sa harap ko at isang bote ng tequila.

He sit beside me before pouring me a drink which I obliged to bottoms up, real quick. I really just need a drink right now before shooting him questions.

Nilagyan nya ulit yung shot glass ko at ininom ko ulit iyon. Ugh. This tasted so bad. Bakit yung kanina ang sarap?

Napatawa sya sa itsura kong parang nasusuka na. I throw him my cold stare. He laughed again and mouthed, what?

Natawa pa ang gago. Why am I even here with him? Uminom ulit ako bago ko napagdesisyunang tanungin sya.

"Did you know?" Umpisa ko. He drink his glass before looking at me.

"About your brother, Grey and Eli?" He asked before shrugging. "It was just a dare, I didn't know Grey would do that. Nagulat din ako." Tumatawa nyang sabi sakin sabay inom ulit.

Naguluhan pa ko nung una kung sino si Eli, si L pala. Right. And my brother has a name, obviously. So Grey ang pangalan nya. And he's the captain of our school's basketball team.
