Chapter 4

Kurt

I chuckled and I remember what Vicks used to call me.. the virginity collector.. ha-ha! and I took that as a compliment.

Oh damn alcohol! I can't believe it! I dont know where I am.. well.. I'm naked-- but I really cant recall what happened last night. Can you?

A pink bra tangled on the computer's chair wheel. whooo.. I think it's been another wild night. Sino naman kaya ang kasama ko kagabi?

Ian came in grinning and go "Ano okay ka na?"

I know that face. "pinagsamantalahan na naman ako 'tol"

"you're lame dude!" sabi nya sabay hagis ng canned coffee.

"alam nilang marupok ako! madaling madala sa tukso." I reply.

"so, bakit ka pinalayas ni tita Shiella?"

"I told her about Angelu." I confess

"what? you said that to her face?" I deadpan. I love Angelu, I love my daughter, and I think my family needs to know about her. "Did you inform your mom that her mother sells dope?" he adds.

"oo"

"gago ka pala eh!"

"mom told me before that I should choose a strong and Independent girl, s'why I thought she would like her-"

"selling dope?" we both crack up. "now she wants something new for yah eh?"

"uh-huh! she wants a Maria Clara."

"you wont survive with that kind of girl" he open the can and drink a little. "you think you can"

"you think they're boring?"

"sorta.." took a long drink. "No sex."

I chuckled and I remember what Vicks used to call me.. the virginity collector. Ha-ha! I took that as a compliment.. Maybe in the states its C-O-O-L but in the Philippines.. its a crime!

suddenly he's like "what you think about Vicks?"

what's about Vicks? I hope Ian is not mind reader or something.

He shut the door close and sink into the floor snaking his hand to a two door mini cabinet. "see this?" says Ian, holding a Victoria magazine

"yeah.. She's Hot.. and so what?" still trying to be cocky.

"'tol dont tell me never mo syang nagustuhan?"

"NEVER!!" I lie, I always like her. but she's all about Xymon. She's all about that wimp.

"why?"

"Ian! hindi na kailangan Ipaliwanag yon!"

"ooh! I think I know why!.. about it?" I wrinkled my forehead. "she could have done it by now! she's a cool dude."

then I got what he meant when he said it. sex it. S'why I thwack him real hard "she's not that kind of girl" I jumped out of the bed open the coffee and take a long swig. "she look's tough but she's Victoria the Scaredy cat"

"your mom wants a Maria clara.. Try Victoria."

"are you INSANE!?!"

"you said your mom wants a Maria Clara!"

"yeah"

"Vicks Is a Maria Clara. Aint she?"

out of the blue." The Fashion slave calling" says my phone. Victoria's calling I flick my phone open.

"ssup' fashion slave?'

"hey mr. Cool guy! I need your help"

"If the price is right!" I spit

"kidding aside dude. I need a date, and Im desperate! and you're gonna be my date tonight.. right?"

"you cant oblige me sweetie!" trying to sound annoyed

"please!" I didnt response "Dad wants me to come with Xymon! and he already have a date!"

"I bet your dad does'nt want to see me around" im such a bad influence for yah! I think. "sorry cant help you"

"what? cant here you" I know she's lying and its really cute when she's like that. "text Xymon where you are and he'll pick you up there. in that way Dad will think that Its Xymon im going with."

"whatta bout his date you talked about?"

"Forget about her! we'll pick her up after!" she's definitely annoyed with me launching so many interrogatives. "So you in"

"alright how could I say no?"

I flicked my phone off. I dont wanna say goodbye tho.

Im happy that Im going to be her date however there's something heavy inside. maybe because Im just a second choice, a second great. Im not used to it. Kurt is always number one. Girls like me. girls love me. Kurt is Handsome, Kurt has a good voice, Kurt's album is number one. and absolutely Im no... Kurt is my date cause Xymon is not available.

by the way, Xymon has a date? whoa! that's new! let's see what would happen next. Good luck to his girl. A girl dating a Gay.. poooooorr girl

chapter 5 coming soon

Chapter 3

Trish

The happiest feeling ever... is to see your enemy meet disaster..

I was at kuya's door listening silently to him. He was on the phone but I dont know with who. And ofcourse I really want to Figure it out. Thats my purpose in life.

I can still remember how Sophia flirts with my Machete, maybe we're not officially on, but she know I like Mach and she knows, I know she knows but still, she kept on hanging out with Mach at the Cafeteria.. She's so mean to stay at that spot where I Can see her and Mach flirting.. take note... it's not only kuya and Mach she's flirting.. even Sherwin, the Varsity players. ooh! Im telling you.. She's whore.

They believe she's a saint, thats why they like her. They said she's beautiful, and smart, and kind, and... whatever! They must know whose the real Sophia Cruz.

"Familiar with the word privacy ?."

Not really, but with that voice... YES! that was my mom. I quickly turned around,I fixed my hair and gave her a broad smile.

"Hi mommy!" I started walking backwards..... away from her. I know my mom so well. It would be an endless sermon if she caught me tampering kuya's life specially when it comes to his lovelife.

Mom is kind, Sweet and I never heard anybody saying she's short tempered but it doesn't mean she would not reprimand me. If you want the right thing... have it the right way Thats what she always say.

"san ka pupunta?."

her Voice was so sweet, so soft but I still find it scary Maybe because I really am guilty for something.

I fidget ,"to my room?."

"I smell something fishy." she said in a teasing voice, I know where it leads to, So I have to scape...

I faked a yawn "its been a long day. I think I should sleep na.. Goodnight mommy love yah.." as soon as I finished talking I ran fast to my room.

I kicked my door closed. I wanna see kuya Xymon and ate Vicks together at the ball tomorrow. But what am I going to do to make that happen?

Sophia Cruz, its all your fault! I do not regret What I did earlier. For humiliating her, For putting Ketchup on her Art project, She deserve that! however I have to confess that Im so lucky she didn't tell Kuya. I dont know what she and kuya talked about but I did that, just because I want to.

That very moment I was about to Lay on my bed, I heard 5 consecutive knocks on my door. I opened the door immediatly and found Kuya standing at the front of my door, glaring at me.

"why did you do that?" He snarled.

"Do what?." Ofcourse, I know what he's talking about! but Im not crazy to say that to his face

"Do what? oh commo'n! dont be rude!"

"look, I honestly, Dont understand what you're talking about. So would you please go back to your room? It's past 8." .. I said, still trying to be cocky.

"Im telling you. Dont ever try to that again, or else you would wake up one morning, with your things out of this house! you got it??." he growled.

Then I tried to show him a PLEASE-HAVE-MERCY-ON-ME look. but he did'nt mind, instead he walked straight back to his room.

whew that was so close... I thought it was the last day of my life. pooff.. I dont think I can sleep anymore.. whoa!

Still Cuddling my yellow teddy bear daddy bought for me. Im bothered with what I heard at kuya's room, I wonder whose on the other Line.
I do hope it's ate Vicks and not that whore! No! How dare she flirt with my mach and now with my Kuya? What does she want? I wanna know what she's trying to scheme.

I'll pick you up at six! I told you, I'll take care of everything.
I do hope, its ate Vicks on the other line, cause I cant understand why people
love that bum, including Mach.. I mean my Kuya. Ate Vicks is way much
prettier than she is, and I am too. Ate Vicks is Kind, friendly and smart, me too
.. yeah, maybe she's brainy too, but who cares? -See, there's no reason for those people
specially my mach, I mean my kuya. to choose that redneck whore over my Ate vicks ..
and over me, Im a child prodigy! I am an award winning pianist .. and aside from
that, Im one of the highest paid super model around the world at the age of 13 .. SO,
MACH!, YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT IM THE RIGHT GIRL FOR YOU! NOT THAT
GIRL! NOT THAT WHORE!
I threw my teddy bear and it hit the lantern. I didnt mean to do that but I cant
change what had happened, So I just used the situation which is a sign of how
twitchy my brain is.
"I hate her! I hate HER!." I cried my loudest shout to get my mom's attention
And so, like what I expected, mom rushed to my room with my kuya .
"what's happening? are you possessed?" Kuya Xymon yells
I glared at him, I would never forget what he did last night. I sucked in my tummy
and stare at my mom. She beckons kuya back down stairs, but he refused.
"she ruined my breakfast!" He said to mom.
"You're not eating breakfast, are you?." I holler back.
He drinks Hot chocolate every morning and thats it! its not breakfast after all.
"Let me handle this, okay?." mom lowered her voice.
Kuya Xymon fidgeted and gave me a its-not-over look. you want me to tell mom
you're smoking? I said in my brain. then he's gone.

Now its only me and my mom. My plan worked! Now its my chance to gain her
side. I know she knows kuya and I were not in Good terms this past few days..
which is not normal, Kuya and I were really really close. We even used to share
a room before so its really unusual.
I throw my self face down on the bed to make my self look pathetic.
"I know there's something going on between the two of you. You can tell me." mom
said
Her voice can make me Confess even to the Ampatuan massacre though im
innocent. but even though Im guilty for using her credit card for buying a
diamond studded earrings I dont think I can confess to her now. im sorry I didnt
told you mom..
"mom, what if Kuya fell inlove with another girl?." I asked all innocence
mom hitched her shoulders
"That would be great." she replied.
"You dont understand mom, what if she's not the right person to love?" I barked
If Kuya Xy is listening, He would literally kill me for sure. oh! that wont happen, mom
is with me said the other side of my brain.
"Not with a filthy woman mom." I winced
"Xymon wont do that!." she protests. Her voice still calm .
"He already did mom! and I have this feeling that, she would be Kuya's date at the
ball later."
I know she's going to be at my side, though Im doing the right way, Whatever! Im doing it for
the right thing.
"She's everybody's girlfriend! she's a whore." I improvised
"Is that so??" she wrinkled her forehead.. "I would be at the ball this evening, to
do something which I do not usually do."
YEY! thats my mom! oooh! oooh yeah!!She left me with a smile painted on my face
I dont need to ruin her night. Mom would do it for me, and in that case, Kuya
wont get mad at me
The happiest feeling ever... is to see your enemy meet disaster.. -so true. I cant wait to see her suffering the wrath.. oh Mach! I mean Oh God! WHOOHOOO!!!
