Party lights are touching my body. Were here on the bar kase sa Siargao.
We used Dad and Tito Gio's car. Day 3 na kami dito. At ngayon lang kami nakapag-bar.
Madami kase kaming ginawang water and land activities. Sobrang saya. Being with my Family is the meaning of happiness.
I am currently sitting on the couch. Hindi nila sinama si Cali and Claui. Nagpupumilit pa nga si Claui but then ayaw talaga nina Kuya Cedric.
6 lang kami at sina Karleen at Kuya Karius ay nasa gitna na ng dancefloor.
Its kinda boring kase wala akong kausap, and ang lakas ng music dito.
"Hey, Princess, are you okay?" Tanong ni Kuya Klaus habang umiinom ng alcohol.
"Yes, I am fine, kuya," I said kahit hindi naman.
"You sure you okay, ha? Im just going to the dance floor. Kailangan ko ng magbanat ng buto," Ani Kuya Klaus habang nagwawarm up.
Akala mo naman talaga magaling sumayaw.
Natira na lang si Kuya Cedric dito. Si Kuya Sy kase may nakalandian na. I don't know if nasa bed na agad sila ngayon.
"Can I just go outside, Kuya Ced?" Sabi ko kay Kuya Ced.
Wala namang ginagawa kase si Kuya nagiinom lang sya talaga. Looks like may inaantay den sya.
"Sure, just call or text me if something happened ah, and wag lalayo," Pagpapaalala nya.
I just nodded and kissed him on the cheeks. Bata pa lang ako ganon na ako. I used to do that because super sweet talaga ako. Sweet as candy. Umay.
Tumayo na ako at lumabas. Super crowded sa loob ng bar. Amoy alak den lahat ng sulok. Kaya nakakasuffocate.
I sat down sa gutter at doon nilanghap ang fresh air. Cold breeze of air is touching my skin.
Whenever I am with my cousins, feeling ko laya ako. Like there's no limitation. Walang magbabawal sa akin.
Ayoko na ngang mag-end 'tong vacation na 'to, coz I know pagbalik namin sa manila, calvary na naman for me.
It's so tiring maging isang top student, mataas ang expectation sayo ng lahat.
Just one mistake, you're all over the news agad. Lalo pa na ako binabantayan ng mga competitors ko.
Madaming naghahangad ng position na meron ako. Sabi kase nila, "I am living the word perfect" daw. Wala daw mapipintas sa akin. From my skin, face, weight, height, body, teeth, hair, eyelashes, eyebrows, eyes, nose, mouth, even breath, also family name, especially my IQ level.
In short, beauty and brain daw ako, pinahaba ko lang. Umay diba? Cliché ng buhay ko. Walang masyadong happenings.
Puro lang ako aral, house, aral, house. Nakakatakas lang ako because of Gen and kina Arlo, Lucca, and Shiloh eh. Sakanila kase, nalalabas ko yung ako talaga.
Coz kahit gaano pa kami close nina kuya, I can't show them na ganito ako ka pariwara. Ayokong mabahidan yung tingin nila sa akin na I am the oh-so-goody-one.
Its so hard to fake my attitude in front of them. How I act in front of the others. That I should do this, do that. I should have done it, done that. It's so tiring.
Madaming naiinggit daw sa akin because ako daw ang heiress ng Andrade. They didn't know if gaano ka-difficult ang maging isang Andrade.
People loves to judge others, they love gossip even if its true or not. Even how good are you, or even tho you are a saint, may masasabi at masasabi pa den sayo. Nasa sayo na lang if how you would handle that. If magpapaapekto ka ba.
Tumayo ako at nag-stretch. Ang sarap magreflect sa gantong lugar.
Paalis na sana ako nang biglang may nakita akong aso. Gawd! No way, doggy. Not now.
Umatras atras ako habang nakatingin sa aso. Wala akong tiwala sa mabalbon nyang balahibo.
Habang umaatras ako, kinalkal ko na den ang phone ko, finding Kuya Ced number.
Sa sobrang atras ko may nabangga ako. Shit!
Sa taranta ko, tumakbo ako sa likuran nya. I can't see his face kase against the light.
Binugaw nya ang aso at tumawa sya ng malakas. May sapi ba 'to?
"Grabe Clay, its just a puppy," He said while chuckling.
Bakit nya ako kilala?
"Excuse me? How do you know m-" Hindi ko na natapos ang sentence ko nang humarap sya sa akin.
"LUCCA?!" Sigaw ko sa gulat. "You shit! Ikaw lang pala yan, you saw me na, you don't help me pa," Sigaw ko habang simusuntok suntok sya.
"Sorry na, you're so cute when you're afraid eh," Aniya habang tumatawa tawa pa.
Suntukin ko kaya 'to sa mukha? Isa lang.
"So, what are you doing here ba?" I asked habang nakapamewang pa.
He comes closer at inakbayan ako, "Hindi mo ba ako namiss?"
"Of course, hindi," I said habang inirapan sya.
"Ah, ganon, sige tawagan ko ulit yung aso-"
"Namiss kita," Sabi ko sabay hila sakanya.
He chuckled. Saya saya si gago, nauuto ako.
"Vacation nyo pala 'no? Ako naman, Im here kase sinama ako ng pinsan ko," He explained.
"Let's catch up tomorrow. One week kase kami dito eh," I said.
"Sure, ah wait me here ha, I'll just go inside, Cedric's waiting for me eh," Ani Lucca.
Same school kase sila ni Kuya Cedric, kaya magkaibigan den sila.
"Go lang, ayoko pumasok don. So suffocating," Pag-iinarte ko.
Natawa lang sya at ginulo ang buhok. Tamo 'to nangbwisit pa.
He went inside samantalang ako nagpphone lang. I will call Gen sana kaso nga lang ayoko na syang istorbohin, coz she's having a prac for her pageant. Kaya bawal.
I think Claui should try modeling. Same silang coca-cola yung body eh.
Aalis na sana ako don nang biglang may sasakyan na nagbeep sa harap ko.
What the fuck? Anong gusto netong palabasin?
Umiling na lang ako at sa kabila sana dadaan kaya lang biglang bumaba ang nasa car.
"So, you're here lang pala. The bitch is hiding hereeee!" She shouted at yung mga kasama naman nya sa kotse nagsi tawanan.
Oh, I forgot her. She's the one na iniwan ni Jieven just for me.
Pfft, hilig nyang ipasa talaga sa iba ang ugaling meron sya. Now I know why Jieven leave her. Nakakasakal ugali.
"Hindi ko ugaling magtago," I said at ngumiti sakanya.
I paused, look at her a bit and chuckled. "But maybe I am hiding, 'Coz a Queen like me shouldn't see a trash like you," Sabi ko habang nakataas ang kilay na nakangiti pa sakanya.
Gigil ang mukha nya na parang anytime she's going to kill me. How I love to see that face. Halatang talo na.
"But nice to see you here, you should be thankful nga eh, kase nakita mo ako for the second time around," I said while looking at her intently.
"Why should I be thankful? I should not, coz a bitch and slut like you should not deserve to give respect." Sabi nya.
Super lapit na nya sa akin. Its gross lang coz her saliva is going all over my face.
"Pakitang tao. Kunwari mabait pero mang-aagaw naman," She said at tinaas pa ang isang kilay nya.
Tumawa ako ng malakas, "How funny you are, sis!" I shouted in laughter habang hinahampas hampas pa sya sa braso.
I paused and smiled, "Nakakatawa ka. I do not steal anything from you. Steal ba yung tawag sa kusang ginawa? Kusang sumama? Kusa akong minahal? I pity you," I said while tapping her shoulders.
Ang sama na ng tingen nya sa akin. And her friends? Ayon, tahimik at nakanganga na lang.
Humakbang na ako paalis. Pero ayoko ng ganon lang. I want na maasar pa sya ng sobra.
I looked back sakanila, "Thalia right? Move on, okay? Maawa ka naman sa sarili mo. Bulok na nga ng attitude mo, pati your looks mabubulok na den? Paano ka babalikan nyan?" Pang-aasar ko pa at naglakad na palayo.
But I was shocked when a loud screetch noise came from my back.
I was in my state shock that I couldn't even move and going to react.
I was too late. Before I could even move, I was hit by a moving car.
