Sometimes we live like normal people.

"Which one?" I raised a Louis Vuitton Boite Chapeauon on my right hand and a Prada Nylon mini bag on my other, smiling brightly at the two. I'm anticipating. They have a really good taste in fashion kaya silang dalawa lagi ang sinasama ko magshopping. Magkaiba nga lang sila ng taste kaya madalas magulo.

"The LV kasi looks classy, but this one looks good for casual lang-"

"Why are you contemplating if you can afford both?" Sky crossed his arms.

"Why bother wasting money if you can just steal it?" Ryde sighed, looking bored.

Sameth Ryde, I said normal people.

Inirapan ko tuloy siya.

"I'm also considering that Gucci shoulder bag that I pointed earlier. Maganda kaso it's too small, so for sure wala akong gaanong malalagay inside. Small bags aren't practical." Binaba ko muna ang dalawang bag na hawak ko. "See? I know practicality!" I boasted, as if it's a big deal.

"Spell muna." Pang-aasar ni Sky. Agad naman siyang tumalikod at kunwari pang nagtingin ng bags.

"Just steal every bag that you like." I felt Ryde's breath on my left ear when he whispered lowly. Narinig ko rin ang pagngisi niya.

"Shut up."

In the end, I ended up buying those three bags that I mentioned even though I don't need it. I feel like my walk-in closet is spacious pa naman kaya binili ko na lahat. I don't need the Gucci one, but it would be cute to display though.

Papalabas na kami ng mall at kusang bumukas ang glass door. Ang shades na nakataas sa ulo ko na parang headband ay ibinaba ko na dahil mataas pa pala ang sikat ng araw sa labas. I was wearing a beige long sleeve belted dress, a white handbag on my left arm and one paper bag from a designer brand on the other. The rest of the things that I brought ay pinahawak ko na kay Ryde. While Sky, he volunteered to carry some.

"Your mom would nag at you again, Erie." Sky chuckled when he saw all the luxury items. Naparami pala ako. Ang sabi ko kanina ay isang bag lang ang bibilhin ko. Gosh, but that's impossible! Kapag talaga may hawak ka ng pera, ang hirap hindi gastusin.

"I deserve to treat myself." Binuksan ko ang likuran ng dala naming kotse at nilagay roon ang paperbag.

"Just say you stole it."

Sinamaan na lang namin ng tingin si Ryde.

And yes, most of the time we don't live like normal people.

"Go!" I raised the checkered flag. The two sports car flashed like lightning, leaving me here at the start line covered with thin white smoke from their vehicles.

I'm currently monitoring the two. I told them to practice more for their upcoming competition tomorrow. Magagaling na underground racer kasi ang makakalaban. Syempre hindi naman ako papayag na magpatalo sa mga 'yon o sa kahit kanino pa man.
