Sirens

PAGBALIK ko sa lamesang kinaroroonan namin galing sa CR ng bar ay tumambad sa akin ang mag-isang si Rainbow na nakaupo sa couch. Patuloy pa rin siya pag-shot ng iniinom nilang beer mula pa kanina at para bang balisa siya habang nakatitig sa kawalan.

Nagsimula nang maghiyawan ang mga taong naririto sa bar. Majority of the population here are teenagers. Hindi ko alam kung papaanong pinayagan silang makapasok dito o kung nagawa ba nilang pekein ang edad nila upang makapasok. Napailing-iling na lamang ako at tinabihan si Rainbow. I'll just grab this opportunity to thank her personally for what she did for me.

"Hey, bakit hindi ka nakikisama sa kanila?" Itinuro ko ang mga kasamahan naming nagsasayawan sa dance floor at abala sa pakikipag-interact sa mga kasing edad lamang nila.

Rainbow dropped the shot glass as she threw a weird grimace on me. Something on her feels different. Maybe she's just too happy with the idea of having Kylo back in her life.

"No need, I'm not good at dancing," umilling-iling niyang sagot. Umayos siya ng upo at ipinatong ang kaliwang hita niya sa kanang hita. "How about you? You must be there with them. You have to celebrate for your triumph against Beverly," aniya pa saka tinapik ako sa balikat na para bang tinutulak na akong tumayo at makisama sa mga barkada niya at sa mga kalalakihan.

"I'm not good at dealing with others," kalmado ko namang tugon. Napansin kong naglaho ang ngiti sa mukha niya at makaraan ang ilang segundo ay humalakhak naman ito at saka muling hinampas ang balikat ko. Crazy.

"You know what? You're so lucky! You're such a wholesome famous campus girl who roams around for nothing. Why not find yourself a guy? Mas maganda kung 'yung walang sabit," wika niya at pabulong na sinabi pa ang mga huling salita niya.

I smelled alcohol as she laughed continuously. Ayokong magmukhang tanga kaya kahit papaano ay nakisakay na lamang ako sa tawa niya. She thinks I'm lucky to be known when in fact, being popular doesn't even give a damn to my goals.

I sighed. Seeing the bottle of beer half empty, I grabbed the shot glass and poured the remaining liquids on it. Without hesitation, I persuade Rainbow to drink her remaining shot and we tossed our glasses as we cheer for each other's triumph.

"Congratulations for having Kylo back!" I smiled.

"Congratulations on our success too! Beverly's now a pathetic ugly duck. Gosh, hindi man lang bumagay sa kaniya ang maiksing buhok," natatawang sabi naman ni Rainbow kaya't naglaho ang ngiti sa mukha ko dahil sa pagtataka.

"Did she cut her hair?" kunot-noong tanong ko. Rainbow sighed and nodded. She drank her shot and placed down the glass on the table after.

"Mukhang masyadong na-depress. She now has this lame siyete haircut. Mukha siyang tomboy. Imagine kumalat lang naman sa social networking sites ang mga itinatago niyang baho. No one even knows how wild she is considering she's the school's student council President. She's protecting her image and reputation for so long. Poor San Juan," kwento ni Rainbow at isinandal ang kaniyang ulo sa couch. Mukhang tinamaan na rin ng kalasingan ang babaeng 'to.
