Today was a Fairytale

Chapter 7

I was busy daydreaming about camping when my phone rang. Oh fudge, sino na naman 'tong isturbo. Incoming call from impakto.

"Oh?" I answered.

"On the way na ko." Kale replied.

"Where?"

"Sayo, I sent you a text kaninang umaga."

"Yeah, bye," I said as I hung up the phone and returned to my daydreaming.

I really wanted to live in a countryside. With fewer people to deal with and a beautiful natural setting to relax in. I want to be alone and have fun by myself. Birds singing would wake you up in the morning. A breath of fresh air and mountains densely forested. That's my goal in life, to live on a countryside alone kasi nabwebwesit na ko sa kapatid ko na ngayon kumatok sa pinto.

"Do you want to build a snowman?" He inquired after knocking. Ito na naman tayo with his frozen agenda.

"f**k off," I said, refusing to leave my bed.

"You're supposed to say 'go away, flame.' God! You're such a moron. Anyway, your friends are waiting for you downstairs."

"Papasukin mo na lang dito." I answered. Sus, parang noon dire-diretso lang yang walang hiyang 'yan sa kwarto ko.

"Yow," Kale exclaimed as he knocked on the door. I'm still lying down, surrounded by pillows. I just love the feeling of being surrounded by pillows, bakit ba. I have 10 of pillows on my bed

"Ano." I replied shortly without facing him.

"Hi, boss," Lucas said. What's that? When I heard Lucas' voice, I got up and sat down, confused.

"Anong ginagawa niyo dito?" Kunot noong tanong ko sa apat na asungot na nakatayo sa harap ko. Tarantadong kale, ang sabi niya siya lang daw ang pupunta.

"Wala ka kasing paramdam," Lucas grumbled.

"What the hell? So you expect me na mag-first move at pansinin kayo?"

"We're here to apologize, ayaw ka lang naming masangkot sa g**o kasi kakadating mo lang and we know your agreement to your parents." Panimula ni kale at umupo sa edge ng bed ko. Gusto ko siyang sapakin.

""And!" Kale exclaimed, clapping, "we prepared a special performance apology for our Boss!" They began their performance after Kale's signal. What the fxxk is going on here? Huwag kang tatawa Aqua, astig dapat tayo dito.

Seriously? Is it a magic show? Ten is acting as if there's a barrier between us and that he can't see us. Lucas with a long a*s paper, pretending that it's coming out of his mouth. Obvious naman na galing yun sa sleeves ng hoody niya. Hendery, on the other hand, is working hard to impress us with his card tricks. na hindi ko maintindihan kung saan banda ang magic. Magic show ba 'to or isang eksena sa mental?

I clapped when their performance finished. They bowed and proudly smiled.

"Bravo! May talent pala kayo sa magic? Sana tinago niyo na lang." I said.

"Did you like it?" Tanong ni Hendery.

"So much! Gusto ko nga kayong sakalin dahil sa tuwa eh." I replied.

"See, dude? Sabi sayo nice idea talaga ang magic performance." Proud pa na sabi ni Ten kay Hendery. Nice idea talaga.

"So, bati na tayo?" Kale asked.

"Yeah, we're really sorry." Ten said.

"We'll make it up to you and promise not to do it again." Ani Hendery.

I looked at each of them and saw na sincere naman yung pagkakasabi nila so why not. Ang diyos nga nagpapatawad ako pa kaya na ganda lang.

"Okay fine, I'm just mad na ako lang ang hindi nakakaalam ng mga gagawin niyo. I'm also part of the group kaya bakit itatago niyo pa sa akin. Hindi ko naman kayo pipigilan or what. I supported you all sa lahat ng gagawin ng grupo diba? I got really upset cause this is the first time na kumilos kayo ng palihim sakin." I stated.

They didn't speaked up at nakayuko lang.

"Ang arte niyo! Chin up, okay na nga tayo diba?" Naiiritang sabi ko.

They all exchanged high-fives and bright smiles.

"Arat, arcade!" Pag-aaya ni Lucas. Since it's been a long time na hindi ako nakapunta ng arcade, sumama na lang ako. Wow, napipilitan yan?

"Hintayin niyo na lang ako sa baba." Sabi ko bago pumasok ng closet. I wore a hoodie with a pair of straight-cut jeans and converse.

Pagkarating ng timezone, diretso agad ang mga asungot sa gusto nilang laruin. My favorite game here is Justice League series kaya mabilis na gumala ang paningin ko para hanapin.

Gotcha! Sakto may bakante. Nagkatinginan agad kami ni Kale at tumakbo papunta sa machine.

"Tol, I've been practicing for two years para matalo kita kaya do your best." Pagbabanta ni Kale na nanliit pa yung mata.

I laughed and said, "You wish."

"Aha! And if I win, you'll have to help me out."

"Deal," I stated confidently. No one has ever defeated me in this game kahit sino pa itapat niyo. The game started fine, abanse ako sa kanya.

"Hoy! Kami nauna diyan ah?" Sigaw ng lalaki sa likod ko. I just ignored it at nag-focus sa laro, baka matalo pa ko ng unggoy at magyabang na naman mamaya.

"Hoy! Bingi ba kayo?!" Sigaw niya pa ulit.

"Hey, hey, hey, look out! Here I come!" Kale exclaimed as he defeated me with a single strike.

He exclaimed, "Oh s**t! I won for the first time!"

"Hoy, Kale! Bingi ba kayo niyang girlfriend mo?! Kanina pa ko sigaw nang sigaw dito na umalis kayo diyan kasi kami nauna eh." Sigaw niya kay Kale. I'm just controlling myself, f**k. Ayoko ng g**o pero sumosobra naman ata ang lalaking 'to. I raise my head and turned around to face the yelling jerk at kapag minamalas ka nga naman.

Their ignorant expression changed to shock and terror. Hindi ata nila alam na ako pala 'to. They even addressed me as Kale's girlfriend. Triton moved forward at binatukan ang mukhang baboy niyang kasama at itinago sa likod. It's Triton and his clown troupe.

"Bro, anong nangyayari." I heard the three other guys asking sa likod ko. Napansin din ata nilang may gumagambalang mga impakto.

People curiously sorrounded us nang dahil sa pagsigaw ng lalaking mukhang baboy. I don't even know him pero gustong gusto ko siya ilampaso.

Triton said, "Hey, Aqua! Ikaw pala yan, hindi kita nakilala," but my gaze was fixed on the fat a*s.

"It's all your fault, fat a*s," I said, glaring. I was about to attack that pig when Kale hugged me tightly and stopped me. Then they all took off running.

"Let me go before I break your bones!" I yelled at Kale at pilit na kumakawala.

"Calm down! Maraming tao ang nanonood." He reminded.

The only way to make me feel better is to punch that guy. Kahit isang sapak lang okay na sakin. Because of him I lose a game kaya deserve niyang mabugbog.

I poured my strength and successfully got out of Kale's arm and got to chased that f*****g pig. Hindi ako papayag na hindi ako makasapak today.

"Tanginamo! Bumalik kayo dito mga duwag!" I yelled nang makitang papasok na sila ng elevator. I swear I will killed that pig and turn him into a ham!
