The Perks of Loving a Faust (Perks Series #1)

Indigo did the dishes after we eat. While the others patiently wait for me and Louiswis to finish our research.

Kaunti na lang naman ang kinailangan naming idagdag kaya hindi kami gaanong natagalan. Isa pa, sa friday pa naman daw ipapasa ang method, so we don't have to rush.

When we headed downstairs, they were playing video games. Just like before na parang walang nangyari kanina.

That's the thing about boys. Past is past indeed ang motto nila. No awkwardness, no bitterness. Kapag nagkasagutan sila ngayon, later okay na sila at hindi na muling pag-uusapan pa ang nangyari. They don't big deal things that isn't big deal.

"Great timing, we're about to start." Septimus casually said to Louis, without eyeing me.

Lihim akong napairap sa inakto niya. Ano bang kasalanan ko sa kanya para magkaganyan siya? He's being a childish brat which don't suits him.

Umupo ako sa tabi ni Indigo and Louis sat beside me. Beside Indigo is Sevyn and Devon. Sa harap ko naman ay si Enero, on his left is Septimus and kalawang and on his right is Spike.

Pinatay nila ang video games na nilalaro nila. Kalawang handed them their beers.

"Alright, so what should we do now?" Devon asked before he opened his beer.

"Phone's down," Enero said before he put down his phone on the table at binuksan ang beer niya.

Spike and others did it too, patong-patong ang mga cellphone nila sa lamesa. Hindi ko na sana ilalagay ang cellphone ko kaya lang ay nakatitig silang lahat sa akin matapos nilang ilapag lahat ng cellphone nila.

"Fine," I said in defeat and put my phone down. Hindi naman ako umiinom katulad nila so why would I need to put my phone down?

"I think a truth or dare would be amazing right now," Sevyn suggested. Agad ko naman itong nilingon at tinignan nang masama.

Sa dinami-dami ng pwede niyang isuggest na gawin ay talagang truth or dare pa ang sinuggest niya? Really? Sa ganitong sitwasyon na mainit ang ulo ni Septimus and Louis is being cocky jerk to pissed him off? Enero is not even done with the issue yesterday!

Nice suggestion Sevyn, ang sarap mong batukan.

Saglit na natahimik ang grupo, bago binasag ni kalawang ang katahimikan. "I agree, para magkaalaman na."

Muntik na akong mapaface palm sa sinagot ni Kalawang. Bakit parang wala silang pakialam kung mag-away ang dalawa? O ako lang ba ang nag-iisip na baka mag-away sila?

Damn boys and their thoughts. I never understand them!

"Game on!" sigaw nila Spike at Devon at nagawa pang mag-apir. Napailing na lang ako sa kanila.

What are we again? A college students. And here we are, playing the nonsence truth or dare again, and them being a childish again.

"No using of cellphone during the game, you know the consequence." paalala ni Indigo at binuksan na rin ang beer niya. Kunot-noo ko siyang tinignan. They have a consequence if they break the rule?

"What is it?" bago pa ako makapagtanong ay naunahan na ako ni Louis.

"You will buy another set," Enero answered Louiswis.
