I'm Not Me Anymore

12

"How are things going?"

I looked at Kallie, habang siya abala sa pag t-type sa laptop nang tanungin niya ako. I smiled a bit at tumingin ulit sa cellphone ko.

I started playing Mobile Legends dahil kay Sydney and Eiden. Sabi nila bu-buhatin daw nila ako pag naka Epic ako. What the hell does that mean?!

"Okay naman... it's been a week, pero hindi ko pa rin alam kung bakit 'yon ginawa ni Bridgette,"

'double kill!'

"Me either. I'm so glad kasi Mateo is maintindihin. But what I don't understand, is, he's acting so weird satin, lalo sa'yo."

I pursed my lips and took a deep sigh. I didn't respond sa sinabi ni Kallie dahil naii-stress lang ako pag ko naalala iyon. Mag fo-focus nalang ako sa Mobile Legends! Sabi nila sakin kailangan mag seryoso raw pag rank game.

'You have been slain!'

"Tsk!" reklamo ko.

Hindi kami masyado nag usap ni Kallie dahil pareho kaming abala sa ginagawa namin. Busy siya pag gawa ng essay, habang ako naglalaro. 

Okay, let me get this straight. Pang walong laro ko na ito. Nakakainis lang, panalo, panalo, talo talo, talo, panalo, talo. 

Sino ba naman hindi maiinis non?! Kulang nalang sirain ko itong cellphone ko sa sobrang inis.Now I understand kung bakit inis na inis sila pag naglalaro. Nag mu-murahan, nag si-sigawan, at nag si-sihan sila. 

"Uy, tara classic! Mamaya na yang rank mo, Lily. Tamo, ubos yang star mo mamaya!" natatawang sabi ni Eiden.

"Oo, mamaya konti. Patapos na 'to," sagot ko habang abala sakaka pindot ko sa screen at naka kunot ang noo. Nako, magkaka wrinkles talaga ako nito agad! I'm only 17!

Pagkatapos ng laro ko sa rank, ako ang nag invite sakanila sa classic dahil ako raw iyong may pinaka mababang rank. Pag mas mababa ang rank, mas masaya raw. Eh? That doesn't make any sense!

Desperada na nga ako na tumaas iyong rank ko. To the point na pag gamit ko ang Mage, pinu-push ko pa rin iyong top lane, dahil yong mga kakampi ko mga abala sa pag patay ng mga kalaban!

"Ako na mag Aldous," sabi ko nang i-lock ko iyong hero.

Naramdam kong napatingin sila sakin kaya naman tumingin din ako sakanila as I furrowed my eyebrows. "Bakit?"

"Marunong ka?!" sabay na sabi ni Eiden at Sydney.

I chuckled. "Hindi pa gaano. Pero nanonood kasi ako sa Youtube ng mga tutorials. Wag kayo magalala, linaro ko rin ito sa custom pati sa VS A.I" pag ku-kumbinsi ko.

Mas natawa ako dahil hindi sila kumbisado. "Ang sakit ha! Wala ba kayo tiwala sakin?!"

"'Di naman sa ganoon. Basta ayusin mo lang, Lily! Mahal na mahal ko 'tong win rate ko, jusme!" sabi ni Sydney nang i-lock niya yong hero na si Fanny.

"Ako na mag core," linock ni Eiden iyong hero na si Gusion.

"Isa ka pa! Wala ako tiwala sa'yo, bugok!"

"Aba tangina mo ah. Talagang nanggaling sa'yo na bobo mag core?!"

"Ulol pakyu! Bobo ka naman mag tank! Tigreal mo nag se-set sa walang kalaban. Mga galawan na 'nu yon sahig?' Bulag ka ba?!"

"At least hindi bobo mag hook. Mag ho-hook nalang sa damo pa. Duling ka ata 'no?!"

Napailing nalang ako. Tsaka sila tumigil sa pagtatalo nang mag simula yong game. Sa first game namin, maganda iyong labanan. Halos ubos na lahat iyong tore maski rin sa kalaban. Tatlong beses pa na muntik kaming matalo, pero pinaglaban pa rin namin na manalo kami.

"Yun oh! 5 games puro panalo, woo!" tuwang tuwa na sabi ni Eiden.

"Nice g, mga lods. Magaling ka naman pala mag core eh. Kaso kadalasan bobo ka," pangangasar ni Sydney.

Hindi nalang sumagot si Eiden kaya napakamot nalang siya ng ulo. Jusko! Kaya inaasar namin silang dalawa eh. Not gonna lie, ang cute nilang dalawa lalo pag nagaaway! Parang mga aso't pusa.

Pagkauwi ko sa bahay. I opened my door's house at biglang sumalubong sakin ang sobrang tahimik, madilim, at malakas na hangin.

Imbes na matakot ako, kalungkutan ang nararamdaman ko. I lowkey missed the noise and laughters of my parents, especially... my ate.

Kumusta na kaya siya? It's been years since she... "died."

I turned the lights on at dahan-dahan nag lakad pa akyat. I turned right at nang makarating ako sa isang kwarto, I took a deep sigh at kinuha ko iyong susi sa may ilalim ng flower pot. 

Pagka bukas ko, I received a strong wind with full of depressing and nostalgic vibe. Biglang bumigat yong pakiramdam ko kaya napasinghal ako.

Ito nanaman. 

"Ate..." I couldn't control myself not to cry.

Napaupo ako sa kama niya habang sunod sunod pa rin ang pag tulo ng luha ko. "I.. I miss you so much, Ate. Sana nandito ka," my voice broke.

Nakaramdam ako ng kirot sa dibdib ko pero hindi ko iyon pinansin. Napatingin ako sa shelf niya at napaawang ang labi ko nang makita ko na naka display iyong picture naming dalawa.

We were both smiling on the picture. I took the picture and I smiled with full of sadness and happiness. 

That picture was captured while we were on a park. She was taller than me a bit. Her hair was long, has two dimples, tall, skinny, and... has an amazing voice.

I wiped my tears nang matuluan iyong picture ng luha ko. Linibot ko ang tingin ko at natanaw ko iyong ukelele ni Ate.

I slowly took it at mas lalo akong naiyak.

"Ate..." napatakip ako ng bunganga dahil palakas nang palakas na iyong iyak ko.

Umupo ulit ako sa kama at ipinatugtog ko iyong ukelele.

"Naalala mo pa ba ito Ate? You used to play this song on your ukelele at ako ang taga kanta." ngiti kong sabi habang umiiyak pa rin.

When somebody loved me

Everything was beautiful

Every hour spent together

Lives within my heart

And when she was sad

I was there to dry her tears

And when she was happy so was I

When she loved me

You were my bestfriend... my sister and my everything.

Through the summer and the fall

We had each other, that was all

Just she and I together

Like it was meant to be

And when she was lonely

I was there to comfort her

And I knew that she loved me

"No matter how much we fight, we're still sisters. You were my partner ni crime!" my voice broke.

You were there for me... you were always there for me. Whenever I cry in the corner, you would rather sit beside me than attending on your class.

So the years went by

I stayed the same

But she began to drift away

I was left alone

Still I waited for the day

When she'd say, "I will always love you"Lonely and forgotten

Never thought she'd look my way

And she smiled at me and held me

Just like she used to do

Like she loved me

When she loved me

We made so much memories that I didn't get a chance to cherish it, even just a one click of picture... You were the only person who knows me so much. You witnessed all the nightmares I faced as I was slowly growing up. 

You raised me so well, Ate. You're the one who raised me dahil busy sila Mom and Dad sa trabaho nila. 

Too bad, I wished I didn't let the old me get lost. I'm so ashamed for who I am right now. I'm so different noong dating ako at ngayon.

"And I know you will be so disappointed if you're still here," I smiled.

When somebody loved me

Everything was beautiful

Every hour spent together

Lives within my heart

When she loved me

And I'm sorry for not protecting you. You were my shield when the nightmare creatures were about to attack me again. Pero ako? Bakit hindi ko magawang protektahan ka, Ate?

If I only knew that night will be your last breath, I would rather let myself get killed than you. Let's face it... your life is so meaningful unlike mine... a girl who has useless and depressing life.

Kinabukasan, I found myself laying on my sister's bed. The storm was so strong and it makes me more... sad.

Huminga ako nang malalim at ibinalik ko iyong ukelele at picture namin noon sa shelf.

Pagkatapos, lumabas ako ng kwarto at ibinalik ko iyong susi sa ilalim ng flower pot.

I grabbed my phone on my pocket at napaawang ang labi ko nang makita ko iyong trending post sa Meta.

ANNOUNCEMENT:

NO CLASS IN

ALL LEVELS IN PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SCHOOLS DUE TO STRONG RAIN FALL.

What am I suppose to do now? Ayoko namang istorbuhin si Kiel dahil baka busy iyon.

Hayy! mag lalaro nalang ako ng Mobile Legends!

I opened my game app at nag claim ako ng chests at rewards at nag rank game ako. Bahala na! Medyo marunong naman ako mag tank.

Naka limang laro ako na rank game, gladly puro panalo tapos isang talo. At least hindi katulad noong kahapon!

Clinose ko iyong app nang mainip ako. Papuntahin ko kaya si Kiel? Kaso maulan. Kawawa naman iyon! Baka magkasakit pa tapos kasalanan ko pa.

Biglang may nag doorbell kaya napatayo agad ako papuntang pintuan.

I took a glance on the window at nanlaki ang mata ko nang makita ko si Kiel. What the?!

I immediately unlocked the doors tapos tinignan ko siya mula ulo hanggang paa.

"K-kiel?! I mean, babe?! Anong ginagawa mo rito?!" I couldn't process on my mind! Parang kanina lang iniisip ko siya na pumunta siya rito.

"Nothing. I just want to visit you. Bawal ba?" tanong niya while he was closing the umbrella.

"Hindi naman. Nagulat lang ako. Kanina kasi iniisip ko na sana nandito ka-"

"Well, I'm here now," he smiled at me tapos dumiretso papasok sa loob.

Hayy. Although nagusap na kami at nagkalinawan, na we-weirduhan parin ako sakaniya.

"K-kumain ka na ba? Kung hindi, gusto mong-"

"Lilian" he gave me stop sign. "I'm fine. I already ate bago ako pumunta rito. Ikaw? kumain kana?"

I hate it when he calls me by my real name! Ano na nangyari sa callsign? Parang dati lang nagagalit siya pag pangalan niya ang natatawag ko sakaniya ah.

"Hindi pa. I was playing Mobile Legends. Gusto mo ba mag laro rin tayo? Masaya-"

"Not interested," he said in a monotone.

Okay... if you say so. Not interested pala ha. Nakakairita pa, ang lakas niyang putulin iyong mga sinasabi ko. Edi para saan pa iyong pag punta niya rito kung hindi siya interesado sa mga pinagsasabi ko?

"Kumain kana. I bought some fried noodles for you."

Tumango ako nang iabot niya sakin iyong fried noodles. Tulala lang ako habang kumakain, while him, he was busy on his phone.

"Kumusta?" pag babasag ko ng katahimikan.

"Fine?" patanong niya pagkakasabi.

"Parents mo? Kumusta?" tanong ko sakaniya nang isubo ko iyong siomai.

"Okay naman na. Nag bo-bonding din sila unlike noon,"

I nodded. "'E 'yong studies mo-"

"Lily, kailan ka pa nag start mag tanong nang marami?"

Napaawang ang labi ko dahil sa inis. Parang biglang umakyat iyong dugo ko.

Napahigpit ang pagkakahawak ko sa chopsticks. Uminom ako ng tubig pang pa kalma at inis kong binagsak ito.

Punyeta, wala ako pake kung mabasag ko man iyon.

Dumiretso ako sa living room at umupo sa sofa. I turned the TV on sabay nagpa tugtog.

"Pagkain mo hindi mo uubusin? May problema ba?"

I gave him a death glare nang patayin ko iyong T.V tapos binato ko yong remote.

"Ikaw 'yong problema!"

Nakita kong kumunot ang noo niya kaya napaupo siya sa upuan.

"Ako? Nagbibiro ka ata, Lilian?"

Ako pa talaga nagbibiro?! Punyeta.

"Muka ba akong nag bibiro, Ezekiel Mateo Sanchez?!"

Sige, tinawag mo ako sa tunay kong pangalan ha. Tatawagin din kita gamit ang buo mong pangalan.

"Wow," he scoffed. "Ano bang nagawa ko sa'yo? Bakit ang laki ng galit mo? You were eating peacefully tapos bigla bigla kang mag dadabog,"

"Ask yourself why... Ano pang silbi ng pag punta mo rito?! Ano? Pumunta ka rito para bwisitin ako? Barahin ako? Ano?!" inis na inis kong sabi.

He needs to be confronted seriously! "You're not the old Ezekiel I know," seryoso kong sabi.

I didn't hear any response kaya kinuha ko iyong mga gamit niya at inabot ko sakaniya. "Umalis ka na,"

"H-huh? Wait... let me explain-"

"Explain what?! Pang babara mo sakin?! Acting weird?! Acting cold?! Acting like... we are not lovers?! Ano?!"

He took a deep sigh. "Sorry na, Lily..."

"Sorry?! Tapos gagawin mo nanaman? Ikaw, Kiel, ha. Grumaduate lang kami tapos nag pasukan lang ulit nag bago kana,"

This is what I hate when I'm mad. Kung ano ano nasasabi ko sa tao. Ugh! I freaking hate myself for this.

"Sorry na please... I... I won't do it ever again. Please lang..." his voice broke.

He held my hand and he sat beside me. We were staring for 5 seconds.

He grabbed my chin and slowly leaned closer to me. I felt his pilowly lips pasted on my forehead for 3 seconds.

"Sorry... I'm sorry if I ruined your day... Hindi ko sinasadya,"

Afterall, I can still see the old him. The old Ezekiel I know.

"Bakit ka ba nagkaka ganyan, Kiel? Didn't I tell you to open up to me ka pag may problema ka?"

I didn't hear any response on my question. He was just staring at the ceiling.

"Ang unfair naman kasi. When I was going through, nag o-open ako sa'yo and even cried infront of you. Pero ikaw bakit hindi mo magawang gawin  iyon?"

"I know... its hard to open up to someone lalo pag hindi mo feel. If you feel that way, its okay. I won't pressure nor push you,"

"But please if you're thinking na I might overthink... no. You're making me more overthink the more na hindi ka nag k-kwento sakin and you're acting so weird," sunod sunod kong sabi.

Tumingin siya sakin and he gave me a small smile.

"That's why I love you so much. I never regret meeting a girl like you. You're so damn rare, babe,"

I just want him to know how much he mean to me. How much he's special to me and remind him that I care about him.

And that's why I love him so much. Meeting a guy like him, is too rare to be catched.

Weeks has passed, everything was so smooth again. I got busy on my schoolworks and same with my friends, lalo si Kiel. Though Kiel was a bit acting weird... I don't want to push him to bring back the old him, dahil alam kong may pinag dadaanan din siya.

Sometimes nag o-open up din siya sakin. He said he feel empty and lost for no reason. He even cried infront of me one time, and it breaks my heart so much. Parang gumuho yong mundo ko nang makita ko siyang umiyak dahil doon.

I asked him about his parents, they are in good terms naman daw. I'm literally dying to know the reason why's he being like that.

'Savage!'

"Chamba!" sigaw kong sabi habang tumatawa.

"Chamba ka riyan? Angas nga eh. Pinagtutulungan ka ng mga kalaban kaso dahil sa gawa ng life steel mo naubos mo sila," 

"Nice g! Baka mamaya pag tumaas rank mo ikaw na mag bubuhat samin," 

Ewan ko ba rito sa dalawang 'to! Minsan hindi ko alam kung ano sasabihin ko pag nag co-compliment sila sakin. Hindi naman sa ayaw ko, I just don't know what to say when someone is complimenting me.

"Guys! Bukas na ang Halloween. Anong balak niyo?" sabi ni Kallie habang kumakain.

Ano nga ba? Wala namang pasok, next week pa yong pasukan namin. Wala rin akong plans. Kaya baka mag stay nalang ako sa bahay. "Wala eh. Kayo ba?"

Halos lahat sila nag sabing 'wala'. Wala rin naman kasi iniwasan saming gawain, dahil iyong research namin napasa na namin.

"Since free naman ang lahat bukas, bakit hindi tayo mag halloween party?!"

Nagkatinginan kaming lahat at ilang segundong katahimikan. 

"Bet!"

"G!"

"Gusto ko 'yan!"

Halos lahat kami nag agree. Kaya maaga ako nagpaalam na mauuna na ako para makabili ako ng halloween custome. I was scrolling on google articles para makakuha ako ng ideas for halloween costume. 

'Yumeko Jabami'

I bit my lower lip at napangiti. Ito nalang! Since kakegurui is literally one my favorite anime shows. Agad akong pumunta ng mall at bumili ng uniform ng kakegurui. Isang set na rin yon. 

Pagkauwi ko sa bahay, inayos ko yong mga susuotin ko at nanood ako sa Youtube ng makeup tutorial ni Yumeko. 

I feel so excited! I used to hate attending on events katulad ng ganito. Noon wala akong pake sa ganitong occasions. And now I just realized how fun it was na umattend sa mga ganitong events.

Tanghali na ako nagising dahil sa tunog ng cellphone ko. I immediately checked my phone at nakita kong nag iingay nanaman sila sa groupchat.

sydney: saan gaganapin yong Halloween patry? gagi kayo, plano plan kayo tapos wala pang na seset na lugar for party.

kallie: chill! doon tayo sa house namin. our house is malaki naman. sila mom and dad pupunta sa auntie ko at bukas pa 'yong uwi.

kristen: yun oh, life saver ka talaga. sana masarap ulam mo HAHAHAHAHA

alina: kailangan mga 9 pm nandoon na kayo ah. 

sydney: ok tapos ikaw magpaalam sa magulang ko ha? tangina mo ang late niyan masyado. mabuti kung sana 18 na ako para payagan ng ganiyan.

alivia: don't worry. ako bahala sa parents niyo. since you and kristen ang may strict parents, i will paalam you guys. punta ako riyan.

kristen: omg. thank you mare. sana 'di ka batuhin ng kaldero ni mama

sydney: at ng tupper ware HAHA salamat mwa

lily: iyong boys? nasaan na?

sean: we're going. kami pa ba? tsk.

eiden: yeah. sagot ko na yong candies 

bryan: at kami na ni sean sa decorations. kallie, pick up mo nalang yong decorations diyan mamaya pagkauwi namin. kayo na bahala sa decorations.

kallie: alright. @alina you help me ha and you too @apollo. i will send you my address.

apollo: sure. text me also the time.

sydney: yieeee. wag kana pumunta lina, hayaan mong mag bebe time 'yan sila HAHAHAHAHAHA

alina: gagi oo nga 'no HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

kallie: tangina niyo ang issue niyo ah.

It made me laughed on Kallie's last reply. Halos napa tagalog siya except sa 'issue' eh. Not gonna lie, bagay talaga sila! Kaso we're in a group of friends. Ang pangit noong mag jojowaan sa isang circle of friends. 

It's not that I don't want it. Pwede kasi dumating iyong time na pag nag break or nagkaroon ng misunderstanding, masisira iyong closure or magkakaaway away kasi hindi naman maiiwasan na may mag ta-take ng side.

Pagka sapit ng 6 pm, nag ayos na agad ako. Naligo ulit ako and did some hygienes. Pagkatapos kong maligo, I turned the music on habang ako nagaayos para naman ganahan ako. Nakakatamad kaya! Lalo pag wala akong nakakausap.

Nag lagay ako ng concealer sa muka, especially under my eyes at eyelid. Pagkatapos kong mag lagay ng concealer, nag kilay ako nang slight. Hindi kasi sakin bagay nang makapal. I also attached some mascara.

I also attached some eyeliner. Nakailang ulit ako sa pag lagay ng eyeliner dahil I was literally messing up. Pagkatapos kong mag lagay ng eyeliner, nag lagay ako ng highlights sa gilid ng mata ko at ilong.

I was staring myself on the mirror for a second. I never knew na ginagawa ko na iyong mga bagay na ayaw ko noon. 

Nag lagay din ako ng blush on at light lipstick just like Yumeko's. And not to forget, is to wear a red contact lense. Pinaka importante iyon! Cosplaying Yumeko isn't complete without a red eye contact lense.

Especially Yumeko's thumb ring! I will never ever forget that.

Pagkatapos kong makeup, plinantsa ko yong buhok ko into a straight hair. At first I was literally struggling dahil hindi ako marunong! Muka pa akong tanga habang nakatingin sa screen ng phone ko habang iyong buhok ko nakaipit sa plantsa. 

After ironing my hair, sinuot ko na yong uniform ng kakegurui. Not to forget, sinuot ko iyong necklace tag that it says 'pet'

I stared myself on the mirror for minutes. I couldn't believe for what I look like right now! I feel so proud of myself na nakapag make up ako nang maayos although I'm a beginner.

My legs are not that long, hindi katulad kay Yumeko, but the stockings literally suits on my legs! I have skinny legs kaya isa rin sa reason na bumagay sakin. 

I took a glance on my phone at napansin kong 8:00 pm na. Mabilis kong pinihit iyong door knob at sakto may biglang nag door bell. I furrowed my eyebrows and I took a glance on my window.

Ezekiel?!

I immediately opened the door at napaawang ang labi ko. "Kakegurui rin costume mo?!" 

Oh god! Is this a coincidence?! O alam niyang kakergurui rin ang costume ko?! 

"Ryota Suzui, at your service," he bowed.

I bit my lower lip at naramdaman kong naginit iyong pisnge ko. Oh my god! Ang cute niya ha! 

"Yumeko Jabami, at your service," ngiti kong sabi. 

We both laughed and he offered his hand. I stared his hand for a second and I grabbed it. Sumakay ako sa motor niya nang makasakay siya. Pinaandar niya iyong motor at nagsimula mag drive.

Hindi nag tagal, nakarating din kami sa bahay ni Kallie. This is my first time attending on Kallie's house, at ang laki! Parang mansion 'yong dating. I also noticed that they have 3 cars.

Nang matapos i-park ni Kiel iyong motor niya, agad kaming pumunta sa labas ng bahay ni Kallie. Kakatok na sana ako nang pigilan ko ni Kiel.

"Trick or treat, happy halloween!" natatawang sabi ni Kiel.

I laughed. Ginawa ko iyong sinabi ni Kiel, hanggang sa marinig ko yong sigaw ni Lina.

"Sorry! Hindi us nag bibigay ng-"

"Tanga! sila Mateo yan at Lily!"

Dinig kong usapan nila. Binuksan nila iyong pinto and I took a glance behind them.

"Oh my! Couple na couple ha?!" said Sydney with ethusiasm.

"Sorry, pero ship ko si Mary Saotome at Yumeko Jabami," singit ni Kallie.

Nagsitawanan kaming lahat. Bago pa man kami makapasok, ipinalupot ni Kiel iyong braso niya sakin. 

Pumunta kami sa backyard nila Kallie kung saan gaganapin iyong Halloween party namin. Pagkapunta namin, bumungad sakin yong malakas na tugtog.

Teenage Dream by Katy Perry

Linibot ko ang paningin ko at napaawang ang labi ko nang mapansin ko iyong mga decorations. May maliliit na Jack O Lantern sa dingding at mga skeleton.

Meron ding tatlong malaking Jack O Lantern sa lamesa tapos may kandila sa loob. Meron ding mga candies nakalagay sa malaking witch pot. 

Iyong swimming pool naman, ang ilaw ay color red. Tapos may mga naka display na serial killers katulad nung sa mga movies. Grabeng effort!

"Hoy, tara picture!" pagaaya ni Sydney.

Nagsilapitan kami isa isa kung saan iyong pinaka background namin ay 'yong mga serial killers sa movies. Magkakahilera kami halos. Ezekiel, ako, Sydney, at Kristen. Sa second row, si Kallie, Alina, at Alivia. Third row naman ay si Sean, Eiden, Bryan, at Apollo.

"1...2...3..." nag flash iyong camera sa harapan namin. Naka timer 'yong camera kaya hindi kami nahirapan mag picture.

Sumunod naman, we changed postions. Sa first row, sila Ezekiel, Apollo, Sean, Eiden, at Bryan. Sa second row, ako, Sydney, at Kristen. And lastly, sa third row, sila Kallie, Alina, at Alivia.

I literally lost count sa shots ng pictures namin! Though the pictrures are all good lalo iyong lighting maganda. I was busy looking at our pictures and I realized how is their makeups at costumes.

Kallie's costume was a wicked witch. She was wearing all black fitted dress as well as the hat, and she was holding broom stick. Maganda iyong katawan ni Kallie kaya kitang kita iyong waist niya. She's also tall!

Alina's costume was Maleficent. She was also wearing all black fitted dress at wings. She was also wearing horns and she was holding a stick which is it represents as The Dragon's Eye.

Alivia's costume was Zhitunemi Renaissance Medieval Dress. The front was dirty white, while arms hanggang pababa at kulay black.

Sydney's costume was Jennifer's body cheerleader uniform. It was violet and yellow stripes. There's also a fake blood on her chin and fake fangs. It literally suits her!

Kristen's costume was Vampire. She was wearing vampire's dress na kulay itim at pula. There's also a cape and fake blood as well as fake fangs, just like Sydney's.

Sean's costume was Gojo Sotaru from Jujutsu Kaisen. He was wearing Kaisen's uniform and blindfold. May shot din siya na kita iyong isa niyang mata nang iangat niya iyon. He was wearing a blue contact lense.

Bryan's costume was Nishinoya Yu from Haikyuu!!! He was wearing Karasuno's uniform at sa likod niya ay may nakalagay na 4

Eiden's costume was Nanami Kento from Jujutsu Kaisen. He was wearing Nanami's suit din. It was color gray, blue, and the necktie is yellow at polka dots na black. He was also wearing glasses and he was holding blunt sword. It suits him dahil malaki katawan ni Eiden.

And lastly, Apollo's costume. His costume was Isaac Foster also known as Zack from Angel's of death. He was wearing a brown hoodie with fake blood, and red pants. He was also holding a fake scythe and his hands was covered with bandages. 

"Trick or treat, pengeng jowa, bitches!"

Nagsitawanan kami dahil sa sinabi ni Sydney.

"Lah, kawawa naman si Eid-"

"Weh, wala na. May epal," sabi ni Sydney nang irapan niya si Bryan.

"Amputa hindi ba kayo nauumay kakaship sakanila?" singit ni Sean.

"Hindi! Solid supporter ako nila eh. Syeid for the win! Best couple of the year!' paglalaban ni Lina.

Hahampasin na sana ni Sydney si Lina nang pigilan ko sila. Hay nako! Walang katapusang bardalugan, jusme!

"Tigil niyo yan. Mag v-vlog ako. Tamo pag talaga mai-issue kami ni Sydney, ilalabas ko mga baho niyo, ulol." Eiden raised his middle finger and he received a loud laugh from us.

After taking pictures, we decided na magkainan kami dahil isa-isa silang nag reklamo na gutom na sila. Gladly, hindi hinahanap si Sydney at Ktisten ng magulang nila, kaya hanggang ngayon nandito parin sila.

"Sarap nito, gagi. Sino nag luto?" tanong ni Bryan habang may laman ang bibig.

"Sino pa ba? Edi si Apollo. He also said it's an American food,"

Napatigil bigla si Bryan sa pag nguya ng pasta at sabay siyanh tumingin kay Kallie.

"Ano? Hindi pa ba kayo magbabati? Pucha, anong petsa na oh." may halong inis na sabi ni Kristen.

Hinawakan ni Lina yung balikat ni Kris habang naka ngiti. "Mom, kalma lang, okay?"

"Masakit daw sa ego nila that's why they don't usap. Alam niyo namang super high ng pride nila," sabi ni Ali nang punasan niya ang napkin.

Sean raised his middle finger on us kaya naman natawa ako. "Wag mong sabihing natamaan ka, Sean?" I scoffed.

"'Di naman. Generalized lang kasi yung pagkaka sabi ni Ali,"

"Dami niyong alam,"

"Malamng marami kaming alam, Eid. Nag aaral kami nang mabuti eh,"

"Ako rin naman-"

"Pare-parehas lang naman tayo ng matataas ang pride. Aminin mo na, Sean."

Napaawang ang labi ko at dinig kong nagulat din yung iba.

Oh god! Did Kiel just talked to Sean?!

"So what? Sino bang nanguna kaya nagkabuwag tayo? Ikaw diba?"

"Hindi ko sinira 'yong pagkakaibigan natin. Kayo 'yon... sadyang hindi ko lang talaga tinotolerate 'yong mali niyo,"

"Really? Defending Apollo who tried to beat Eiden?"

Tumingin si Kiel kay Sean nang diretso, habang kami tahimik. Iba na 'yong atmosphere! I suddenly feel so uncomfortable!

Pero teka... si Apollo?! he attempted na bugbugin si Eiden?! Bakit?! At kailan pa?!

"You guys tried to steal my notes for exam, and of course... I have rights to get mad," kalmadong sabi ni Apollo.

Seryoso?! Maski naman ako maiinis non eh. Pinaghirapan ko 'yong bagay na yon tapos kukunin lang?

Hindi na sumagot sila Bryan, Sean, at Eiden kaya nagpatuloy nalang kaming kumain.

Pagkatapos naming kumain, pinabihis kami ni Kallie into swimsuit. Mag s-swimming daw kami! Sayang naman 'tong makeup ko.

"Girl, hindi kami nag dala ng swimsuits! Ano 'yon, mag s-swimming kami habang naka costume? Nahihibang ka na ba?"

"Sydney-girl, relax... I bought some swimsuits for all of you, as well as the boys,'

"'Yong size namin?"

"Alam ko size niyo, lahat kayo,"

Okay, that was weird! Paano niya kaya 'yon nalaman? Stalket siguro 'to.

Isa-isa kaming lumabas ng C.R sa kwarto ni Kallie kung saan kami nag bihis.

Tinitigan ko ang sarili ko sa salamin, and it flashedback when I stabbed myself.

'Yong peklat nandoon parin, and some barcodes I drew on my legs and wrist.

"Girl, are you ready na?"

"Yes!" pinunasan ko 'yong luha ko sa muka ko at agad lumabas ng C.R

Ready na ang lahat. Naguusap pa sila tungkol sa katawan nila!

"Tamo, buti nga 'tong si Lina may joga eh. Ang thick pa ng thighs. Sana all!"

"Tigilan mo, Syd. Ang ganda nga ng lega mo! Ang kinis,"

"Sayo rin, mareng Kris! I mean... ang laki ng joga mo ha!" ngising sabi ni Syd.

"Ito namang si Ali, ang laki rin ng eh. Mmm bright future!" tumawa kaming lahat sabay hinil ni Ali yung 'yong buhok ni Lina.

"Si Kal... omg! ang ganda ng katawan mooo! 'Yong body shape mo ang ganda. Si Lily, buti bawing bawi sa pwet!"

Ang dadaldal! Nailang tuloy ako! Pero infairness ha... ang ga-ganda ng mga katawan nila!

"Tara na kaya. Nag aantay na 'yong boys oh..." sabi ko habang naka silip sa bintana.
