Iris pov
umalis si Lorraine. Nabadtrip ata. Kasalanan ko yun eh! Di na talaga Ako kakausapin nun.
Zeke: sayang bro.. pero okay lang yan. Kaibigan ko naman yun eh. Wag kanang mag mukmuk jan. Kakausapin Karin ulit nun
Sana nga. I hope kakausapin pako nun. Pero another thing is she's straight. Wala akong pag-Asa sa isang babaeng hindi baliko. "Baliko" hshshsh
Iris: bahala na, mukhang di naman yun baliko katulad ko. Ganda panaman nun. Ganda talaga ni Lorraine!! Hays. Especially her eyes ah. Brown. Kumikinang kinang
Nang may bigla akong narinig na parang may nakatago at nakikinig samin
Zeke: stop daydreaming na nga! maganda nga pero ang ugali! HAHAHAH joke kaibigan ko parin yun.
Iris: wait, may naririnig Kaba?
Zeke: ha?
Nang may biglang nadapang babae na nag tatago. Tinignan kami. Kinabahan ako big ang sobra
Lorraine's pov
Umalis ako kase na badtrip na rin ako. Napahiya ako dun. Sa harap panaman ni iris. Fuck why do I care about her? She's just a new transferee student. She's a nobody.
I looked back to see if they were still talking and they were. Ugh what were they talking about ba? And why was I so intrigued?
Pumunta ako sa maybandang corner. Hindi naman Nila' ko makikita dun. May maliking poste din dun eh.
I heard all their Convos. "Mukhang Hindi naman yun baliko katulad ko" "Ganda talaga ni Lorraine!! Especially her brown eyes"
She's talking about me?! I mean sino naman Hindi magagandahan sakin eh maganda naman talaga Ako. Wait? Does she like me? Hindi naman cguru.. pero..
She also said 'baliko'.. what does that mean.
I was trying to listen carefully ng may bumanga sakin sa likod napa sigaw ako kase I fell to the ground din.
Oh my god. Lorraine and zeke were looking at me. Tangina! Lorraine starred at me with horror
iris's pov
Anong ginagawa nya jan?! Nakikinig ba sya? Tangina mo Lorraine! Sinabi mopa pangalan niya. I think my heart skipped a hundred beeps. I helped her get up kahit papano.
Iris: Lorraine.. umm Anong ginagawa mo jan?.. tulungan na kita
kinakabahan talaga ko sa part nato. I was gonna help her get up nung tinulak ako ni zeke kay Lorraine. Tangina mo talaga zeke!
Our faces were inches apart. Sobrang weird nang position namin ngayon. I just starred at her pretty eyes while she was starring at my lips. Kabadong kabado ako. The next thing I know is I was on top of her all this time.
She soon realized our position and pushed me away
Lorraine: ew get off me! Manyakis ka!
ouch
Iris: s-sorry! Tinulak ako ni zeke eh! Hindi ko talaga sinasadya!
Lorraine: whatever.
This time she left for real. Her face was so red. Ako din naman. I was blushing so hard.
Iris: Tangina mo zeke! Bat mo naman ginawa yun?!
Zeke: sus! Dapat nga magpasalamat kapa sakin. As if di mo na enjoy yun!

I reached the classroom just in time.
Teacher: ur almost late.
Iris: sorry po talaga! Bago lang po kase ako
Teacher: I'll let u get off the hook this time pero next time no more excuses miss Ezekiel. And also introduce yourself to the class. Bago kalang so this is formality. Everyone did this nung first class ng English. It's your turn.

Iris: magandang ara-

Teacher: the one in the middle. 2 chairs to the front.
Oh my goodness. Wtf?!!
Lorraine: here.
She said in a very serious and cold tone
Teacher: over there. With Lorraine.
I sat down and looked at her for almost a minute. She was too focused on what's on the whiteboard
Lorraine: stop looking at me. Matutunaw na ko nyan
Shit she knew I was looking at her
Iris: s-sorry. Sorry again about kanina.
Lorraine: past is past. Happens all the time to me. Lots of people are very interested in me not just boys but also girls. Ur not the first girl na naka.. 'ganun' ko.
Ouch. So I'm a nobody to her pala? She looked at me with a serious cold look
Iris: ahh.. ganun ba Cge cge. I get it.
sakit nun.
After class
Uwian na. Gagala nga pala kami ni zeke at ang boyfriend nyang si fifth. I should text zeke where to meet.
to zeke:
I: zeke were na u??
Z: wait lang inuman nalang tayo! May na-suggest si fifth na bagong bukas na bar. Kaibigan nya may are. Gusto daw nyang supportahan eh. Maganda dun! Tara g?

I: Cge cge send me the address nalang uwi muna Ako bibihis lang.
Z: Cge cge! Let's meet there at like 7:40? Sounds good? I'll send u the directions
After mag bihis ay pumunta na agad Ako dun. I saw zeke and got to meet his boyfriend. Si fifth
Iris: hello fifth! Nice to meet u finally pare!
Fifth: nice to meet u din! Nakwento kananga pala sakin ni zeke. Tutulungan din Kitang makuha si lor!
Iris: hoy! Kakahiya naman
Zeke: sus. Ikaw pa nahiya eh friends na tayo eh.
Fifth: Cge lang order na tayo. Waiter! Yung pulutan set and at 3 beers. Ok lang sayo beer?
Iris: okay nayan! Thank uu
Fifth: no problem. Kaibigan narin kita!
Iris: btw zeke ano nga pala yung tungkol kay Lorraine?
Fifth: k-kwento mona sakanya yung ano?
Zeke: gusto nya daw eh!. So basically Lorraine is actually really smart and intelligent. And just like u said, she's very pretty din. She's mayaman basta she's got it all. Her dad always donates to the school pero Wala naman nag gogossip na mataas lang grades ni Lorraine dahil sa connections na kanyang dad. We all see great potential in her and she's actually got the brains to everyone really likes her, basically almost half of the boys sa campus crush si Lorraine eh. And also HALF of the girls. Akalain mo yon? Dami na nun ah. Marami din ang nang ligaw kay Lorraine pero she doesn't care about them. So I'm telling u this kase baka Hindi karin pansinin nun eh pero I see that ur really different iris, feeling ko ikaw na nga ang makaka pag patunaw sa kanyang cold flaming heart eh.
Iris: bakit cold flaming heart?
Fifth: she's cold pero mabait naman. Pag nagagalit medjo maypagka apoy so flames.
Iris: ahh..
Zeke: and just like earlier that happened today when I pushed u to Lorraine well, it's a Canon event basically. I'm just telling u this ah pero who knows baka maging kayo nga.
After 3 hours of inuman (currently 10:56)
zeke: iris! Lasing na lasing natong is fifth. Uuwi kona ha! Okay kalang dito?
Iris: oo okay lang Ako dito! Thank u ulit ha! Lasing na talaga 'ko lods hahaHaahHa!

After 5 minutes

Bartender: maam lasing napo kayo..
Iris: pake moba? Trabaho moyan bigyan Moko! Hays lOrrAine Ganda talaga Nun.
nang may lumapit at hinawakan yung kamay ko.
Guy: hey miss! ur so beautiful oh, bagay tayo.
Iris: ano ba! BitAwaN mo nGA kO!
Guy: let me take u home. I know how to take care of a women like you.
he hold onto me tight not letting me go. I couldn't do anything. His grip was so strong. He was about to take me when a women comes.
Women: what are doing.
Said in a very serious tone the voice was very familiar.
guy: oh I was just going to take my *gulp* girlfriend home...
Women: impossible.
Guy: excuse me?
Women: I'm with her.
Guy: um no ur not. Miss do u mind? Dadaan kami ng girlfriend ko.
Women: that's it. ur not going home with MY girlfriend.
Guy: what are talking about?! Stop talking nonsense and get out of the way
The women grabs me. Damn she's so strong to be able to let me free from that guy's grip.
Guy: hey! She's with m-
Women: oh please!
She slaps the guy so hard
Women: Tama na. She is my girlfriend. Di kaba nakaintindi ng English? Girlfriend ko sya okay?!
Guy: tsk girlfriend? Prove it.
Women: b-babe. Tell him..
I couldn't respond I was so sleepy
Guy: see she couldn't respond bcs she don't know u!
She did the unexpected and kissed me. Right on the lips
The guy leaves from embarrassment
women: ugh dammit iris!
I opened my eye a bit. I was so drunk I could barely stand properly. To my shock the women was Lorraine..
iris: l-Lorraine?..
Flask back (Lorraine's pov)
after class umuwi agad Ako. Nag yaya kasi yung boyfriend ng friend ko na mag bar. pumayag nadin ako. She was so mapilit kase. I finally said yes because Saturday naman bukas.
When I arrived there me and my friend started drinking. After an hour I saw a familiar women in the distance. To my shock it was iris.
"Anong ginagawa nya dito?!" Sabi ko.
"lor? U kay? See someone u know?" Sabi ng friend ko.
"Oh just someone from my English class, she's nobody." I said but minutes go by I kept on starring at her, she was with zeke and fifth..? They were hanging out.
After 3 hours napansin kong mag isa nalang si iris. I guess fifth and zeke went home. Knowing fifth mabilis syang malasing so I guess inuwi na sya ni zeke.
I went to the CR to freshen up and when I can out Wala na si iris dun sa may couch Nila.
I thought she went home when I heard a familiar voice
"Ano ba bitawan mo nga Ako!" It was iris. I observed for a sec until I found that guy forcing her to come with him. That's it, I went to them
(YOU ALR NOW THE REST HAHAHA)
end of flashback
Lorraine: ugh dammit iris. why did u get drunk kase.
Waiting for iris's respond, she's so drunk. Why did I have to see you like this.
Lorraine: ayoko namang iwan ka dito.. baka mapano kapa.
Lorraine: where your house?!
Dammit answer iris!
Iris: I-i
She almost threw up
Lorraine: if ur gonna throw up let's go outside.
I hold her hair and sumuka nga sya.
She almost faint so I took her to my condo instead.
Sa condo ni Lorraine
I placed iris on my bed. I found myself staring at her for almost 2 mints.
"Sorry I k-kissed u. I didn't know what else to do. The guy wouldn't believe me his gonna take u somewhere. God knows where right?.." I whispered to her.
She was sleeping so peacefully. I decided to change her. I DIDNT LOOK HA BAKA AKALA NYO JAN.
I closed my eyes while binibihsan sha. A grind of hair was covering her pretty face so I place it behind her ear. I didn't know she was this pretty. I found myself blushing.
"Look what ur doing to me babe.." I said to myself.
