Paintball
851 Words
Jenny drives to Trinoma in Quezon City. They went down to the mall entrance for Valley parking. People were mesmerized by Kyle’s beauty as she looked like Angel Locsin. But, they continued walking as if no one was staring at them. The
Paint Ball studio was located on the 4th floor of the mall. They use the elevator and directly enter the studio. Jenny has already booked it; that's why they don't need to fall in line anymore. They wear safety gear and enter the battlefield.
[Abigail] Mommy, let's beat Aunt Jenny.
[Kyle] Give a good luck kiss first.
[Abigail] Muah! Muah! Muah!
[Kyle] Alright! Let's attack your Aunt now!
Kyle and Jenny were experts at target shooting. Both of them have the same skills. Their battle lasts for an hour until the remaining are just Kyle and Jenny.
[Jenny] Shall I die for Abigail?
[Kyle] You’re still asking that? I'm so tired now!
[Jenny] Okay, shoot me!
Jenny pretended to run on the barrier, and before reaching there, she was shot by Kyle in her shoulder. Abigail ran towards them and hugged Kyle tightly.
[Abigail] My mommy is the best! Look, Aunt Jenny, I told you you would lose today.
[Jenny] I accept my defeat to a beautiful young lady.
[Abigail] But you are still the best as Mommy!
After they changed clothes, they went to Vikings to eat dinner. This is one of the favorite restaurants of Abigail and Kyle. While choosing a desert, Abigail suddenly bumped into another kid.
[Laila] Ouch! Look where you are going!
[Abigail] I’m sorry.
[Laila] Look at the clothes. My mom will be angry at me. You have to pay for this!
[Abigail] Okay, I'll tell Mommy to pay you.
[Susan] What’s wrong, darling?
[Laila] She bumps me, Mom. Now my dress is stained with syrup.
[Susan] Whose is your mother? You should pay for what you've done!
Jenny comes onto the scene and asks Abigail if she's okay.
[Susan] Are you her mother? She's not looking where she's going. You should pay for my daughter’s ruined dress.
[Jenny] She didn't mean to stain your daughter’s dress. But we will compensate you.
[Susan] Compensate? You don't know how much these clothes are worth. Do you have enough money?
[Jenny] We said that we would pay for it. Just give us the price, and no need to shout. Have little decency.
[Susan] Give me 10,000 pesos then.
[Jenny] Are you nuts? This dress will not cost more than 500 pesos.
[Susan] Are you mocking us? Do you think this is fake?
[Jenny] Looked, we are willing to pay as long as the price is right.
[Kyle] What’s going on, Jenny?
Jenny explains the situation to Kyle.
[Susan] Is that you, Kyle Garcia?
[Kyle] And who are you?
[Susan] You don't recognize me now. I know I look different, as my husband pampers me a lot. It's me, Susan Gomez. We were high school classmates.
[Kyle] Oh Hi! By the way...
[Susan] Don't bother now with a stained dress. Maybe you don't have enough money to pay for it. Treat it as a gift for our sudden meet-up after six years.
Before Kyle could say anything, Susan had already left with her daughter. Kyle was so furious about the insult Susan gave her.
[Susan] Hello, Patricia! Guess who I saw a while ago.
[Patricia] Just say it! I'm a bit busy now!
[Susan] It’s Kyle Garcia. She looked poor, wearing only plain white clothes and jeans.
[Patricia] Are you sure it's her? Anyway, I don't care!
Patricia hung up the phone. And Susan continues shopping with her daughter.
On the other hand, Jenny calms Kyle down. They took their car and went home to Greenhills. Kyle built a mansion for her parents. She comes home during weekends. Kyle and Abigail enter the mansion while Jenny parks the car.
[Abigail] Grandma! We're home.
[Liezel] Did you enjoy yourself, sweety?
[Abigail] We beat Aunt Jenny today, grandma!
[Liezel] Congratulations sweety. What would you like to eat?
[Kyle] We have already eaten, Mom. I'll go upstairs.
Kyle went up to her bedroom. She starts packing essential things and, as agreed with Diane, she did not pack many clothes. After packing, she washed up and lay down on her bed. She started to scroll through her phone and, to her surprise, she was added to a chat group entitled: Batch '06 Reunion.
[Patricia] Hello everyone! Thank you for the confirmation of our batch reunion. We will surely enjoy this weekend! Please be on time and see you all in Zambales!
[Susan] You are the best Patricia! Even if your busy with your career, you still managed to organize this reunion.
[Neslie] I agree. This must be an exciting event.
[Cynthia] See you all soon.
Kyle stopped reading the messages in the group chat and kept them on mute. She posted on her IG account before falling to sleep.
"What a tiring week. I deserve a break this weekend!"
Diane commented on her post.
"Leave it to me, my bestie!"
After reading the comment, Kyle shuts her phone and sleeps.
