"Op?"

"Ay kalabaw!" I stumbled as I pulled half my body papasok at sinara ang pinto.

"Kalabaw?" I then heard Ali spoke from the other side of the door.

"Ah- Ali? ano sorry nagulat ako" I answered closing my eyes tightly sa hiya.

"O-oh.. it's okay but I thought you were calling for someone"

"Ha? e ano kasi-" I hesitated.

"Did you forget your towel?" she asked. I face-palmed.

"Ah- oo" I shortly answered.

"Well, is that all you need?" tanong niya. I need? I need the ground to make lunok na sakin pucha.

"Uhm- oo" di na siya sumagot after that. Nakatayo lang ako nakasandal patalikod sa pinto waiting, fidgeting, when I heard knocks.

I slowly opened it, and peeked my head out.

"Here" abot sakin ni Ali ng tuwalya ko, agad ko itong inabot gamit yung isa kong kamay, ipapasok ko na sana ito when a piece of cloth fell.

Sabay kaming napatingin ni Ali sa baba. Fuck, I mentally cursed when I saw my beige underwear on the ground.

"U-uhm.." nahihiyang kamot niya sa ulo. Kung pwede lang bumugbog ng panty.. mamamatay na ako sa hiya dito.

"Ah sorry, sorry talaga" I picked it up with my other hand accidentally forgot na hawak ko nga pala yung door knob, so the door creaked open revealing my upper body.

"Ay!" I screamed as I scramble over the towel in my hand to try to cover my self up.

Tumayo ako ng maayos with my towel bago napatingin kay Ali who was looking directly in my eyes with a flushed face.

"S-sorry" she shyly spoke with a distroted face.

"Ha? ano ka ba? hinde okay lang" sinubukan kong itawa yung kahihiyan, puchang karma.

"I-I should go" she pointed to the living room with her thumb.

I just hummed smiling until umalis siya, I closed the door shut before internally screaming.

"Hnggg" I whined habang tumatdyak tadyak sa hiya. Putang ina namannnnn. Mabilis nalang akong nagbihis para makaakyat na sa kwarto.

On my nude halter top, I quickly put on a white short before opening the door ready to run paakyat ng kwarto.

Buti nalang walang tao sa baba nagreready silang lahat sa taas, nakita ko na tapos na si Keily magbihis pagpasok at nagpapatuyo nalang ng buhok.

"Oh saan ka naligo?" she asked fixing her white ruffle top and yellow shorts.

"Uh sa baba" I answered shortly bago binaba sa kama yung mga bitbit kong maduming damit at tuwalya.

"Bakit parang pagod na pagod ka naman hahaha" she laughed.

"Hinde mainit lang, pahiram akong blower" rason ko pagtakip sa kaba ko na di parin nawawala dahil sa kahihiyan.

"Ako muna di pa ako tapos"

"Ambagal mo kasi kumilos"

"Ikaw na nga nanghihiram e! che dun ka na kay Ella makigamit" asar niyang sagot. I scoffed smiling bago umiling. Tama naman kay Ella nalang ako manghihiram sigurado papaunahin pa ako non.

Inayos ko muna yung mga dadalhin kong gamit sa isang bag na napagkasunduan naming lalagyan ng lahat ng mga dadalhin namin damit at gamit.

"Phone, charger, sunglass, towel, sunscreen spray.." I shuffled through my compartment.

"Ah yung sunscreen stick" I remembered before going on to find it sa maleta ko.

"Bakit may spray na may stick pa? it's not like sa oven tayo pupunta gurl" Keily commented still busy with her hair.

Napatigil ako saglit.. because Ali needs both. I shook my head and sighed.

"Para tapal na tapal, dun tayo sa sigurado" biro ko nalang.

"Punta na ako kay Ella, Keily wag ka nanamang makakalimot ng panty mo" paalam ko pagkasara ko ng bag at tumayo.

"Sure sure oo na" sagot niya applying make up. Ano ba to parang di naman matatanggal mamaya yan.

Lumabas na ako ng kwarto to proceed makiblower kina Ella, bat ko ba kasi hindi dinala yung akin. I closed the door behind me at naglakad na papuntang middle room nang bumukas yung pinto sa kabilang dulo ng hallway.

Ali came out in an oversized black balenciaga logo shirt and white biker shorts, with slightly wet wavy hair.

Sinubukan ko namang magmadali papasok kina Ella at hindi na pansinin si Ali pero pucha ng tadhana pareho ata kami ng pupuntahan, I realized when she started walking to her left papunta ng pinto nila Ella.

Since mas malapit yun sakanya nauna siyang humawak sa knob bago ko to muntik maagaw sakanya umatras ako kaagad.

"Oh dito ka rin papunta?" she asked still holding the knob.

"Huh? ah oo" I tried to throw my shy away.

"Makikiblower lang, si Keily kasi mabagal e" dagdag ko.

"Unahan" she giggled.

"H-ha?" nakangiti kong tanong.

"Unahan makiblower" she giggled.

"W-what?"

"You're too serious anna, makikiblower din ako kasi ginagamit pa ni Ave yung dala niya" she explained.

"O-oh? ganun ba? hahaha sige mauna ka nalang" natawa lang ako bago ngumiti.

She just smiled back before opening the door and screaming Ella's name who was visibly having a hard time getting into her white low back one-piece.

"Oh?! ingay naman nito, halika nga Fajardo tulungan mo ako" Ella screamed back.

Ali looked at me smiling.

"After you"

"Hmm?" I hummed lost in thought, lost in her smile.

"Baka tamaan ka na kay Ella niyan" she giggled.

"A-ano?" natulala nalang pala ako sa mukha ni Ali, bibingo na ako sa kahihiyan.

"Sophia Hannah!" rinig kong tawag ulit ni Ella habang hirap na inaayos yung swimsuit niya sa likod.

"Oh?! saglet ito na" napalunok muna ako bago pumasok na at nilampasan si Ali, dahil naman don ay di ko siya sinasadyang maamoy. Nothing new, still her favourite eclat d'Arpege scent, and the smell of comfort.

"Bat kasi di ka nalang nag t shirt" I joked.

"Di naman ako si Sam na t shirt lang sapat na" she answered back.

"Sus, baka mainlab ka pag tinanggal ko e" Ali teased back.

"Oh talaga ba pano yung tanggal" singit ni Bri pagkalabas ng banyo.

"Lika na balik ka ng banyo free demo na to" tulak sakanya ni Ali.

"Yii anuba" pagloloko ni Bri.

"Gago"

"Gege back to you" bigla nilang layo sa isat isa habang natatawa. Napailing nalang kami habang natatawa rin.

"Ella pagamit ng blower" pagbago ni Ali ng paguusap.

"Nasa bag" maikling sagot ni Ella habang busy parin kaming ayusin yung straps ng one-piece niya.

"Taas mo nga muna kamay mo-" nagulat ako nang may humawak bigla sa buhok ko sabay tunog ng blower at naramdaman ko ang minit na hangin nito sa batok ko.

I looked back pero biglang may kamay na humawak sa pisngi ko at pinabalik lang sa dating direksyon yung tingin ko.

"Didn't you bring any hair brush? it would look better if gagamitin ko yun" biglang tanong ni Ali sakin.

I realized she was blowing my hair dry.

"H-ha? brush? bakit para saan?" I stuttered.

"Teh sa ngipin mo teh" Ella rolled her eyes and answered sarcastically.

"Dun ka na nga kaya ko na to, may hair brush din sa bag ko" sabay taboy niya samin.

"Oh? here hold this, kukunin ko lang" sabay abot sakin ni Ali ng blower bago bumalik para maghanap sa bag ni Ella.

Inabot ko yung blower nang mabaling ang tingin ko kay Bri, hindi ko naman alam kung ibabato ko na sakanya yung hawak ko when I saw her raising both her eyebrows ng paulit ulit habang nakangiti.

Nanloloko ba tong hayup na to. Inirapan ko lang siya.

"Come here Anna, sa may salamin" Ali looked in my direction kaya agad na akong naglakad papunta sa harap ng salamin.

She was smiling teeth out habang binoblower yung buhok ko.

"Is it getting too hot?" she asked.

"Huh? n-no" I smiled back.

She scoffed, "baka ako lang talaga yung naiinitan sa hangin nitong bagay nato"

"Atleast marunong ka na" sa pagkakaalam ko naman wala siyang hilig sa mga gantong bagay.

"Well I had to learn, I guess that had something to do with having to look presentable everyday" ngumiti lang siya tuloy parin sa ginagawa niya, papalapit na siya sa may left side ko when our eyes accidentally met sa mirror.

As if we both got shy for a moment.

"Okay.. there, looks good right?" tumabi siya sakin matapos niya akong suklayan ng isa pang beses.

"Thank you" agad kong sagot.

"Okay my turn" she suddenly handed me the hair brush and blower and stood infront of me facing the mirror before bending down a little.

"W-what?" nagulat naman ako sa ginawa niya.

"What? can't you dry my hair?" she asked that made me feel flustered.

"Hey" lumingon siya at tumingin sakin.

"Is it fine? I mean I can do it" she was reaching for the blower pero agad ko tong binawi.

"It's fine.. ako na" biglang lumabas sa bunganga ko.

"O-oh okay?" she turned back to face the mirror again.

I slowly started to comb her half dried hair, mabilis kasi matuyo buhok nito e.

I turned the blower on at tinutok na to sa buhok ni Ali. A few strands already started to show wavy curls, I smiled at the sight of it.

"You like it?" she asked smiling.

"Ha?" tanong ko nanaman kaya natawa nalang siya.

"You like my hair?" ulit niya.

"Uh- uhm yes"

"Okay thank God, I thought hindi na maayos cause I colored it before"

"What?nagkulay ka ng buhok?" natatawa kong tanong.

"Yeah I know silly right? school stress makes us do shit" she giggled.

"Hahaha anong kulay?" I curiously asked.

"Blue" she sighed before cringing.

"Oh bakit ka nahihiya" natawa ako.

"Let's just say DIY does not always mean good" umiling siya.

"You did it yourself?!" I laughed.

"Well, I had help" oh.

"Ahh e ano namang naging problema?"

"I wanted a blue hair yes, and I did have one, but with it came a week of using hoodies to school kasi I didn't want people to see how I turned into an avatar in one weekend." she sighed.

Napatawa ako ng malakas sa kwento niya.

"Hahahaha bagay mo naman mag hoodie" I stated as a matter of factly.

She looked at me with a soft smirk.

"W-why? totoo naman ah" natatawa kong sambit.

"Bagay pala ah" tumango siya.

Umiling lang akong nakangiti. "Ayan tapos na" I finished blow drying her hair.

"Hay sa wakas kala ko makakatulog na ako e, thank you" she giggled.

"Bastos ka ah" I hit her.

"Oh excuse me excuse me baka pwede ko na gamitin yung blower ko" biglang singit ni Ella at kuha sa kamay ko ng suklay at blower.

"Alam niyo.. sa tagal niyo nga jan parang di ko na kailangan tuyo na buhok ko, tuyo na rin lalamunan ko kakapigil sa kilig" tulak niya samin.

"Gaga liparin ka sana niyan" I commented and looked at Ali who's looking a little flustered.

"I'll be going out to check on our rides" she slowly backed away.

"Ha? rides? hindi ride lang?" tanong ni Ella.

"Yeah rides, sinigurado kong magsisisi kayong nag outfit pa kayo" she smiled.

"Hoy ano nanamang kalokohan mo?!" sigaw ni Ella pahabol kay Ali who half-jogged palabas.

"Sundan mo nga yun Bri" sunod na utos niya kay Bri.

"Saglit naman naka bra lang ako" reklamo niya bago nagsuot ng cropped see through tank sando.

"Luh nagsuot pa kulang kulang din naman" puna ni Ella.

"Wooow! nahiya naman ako sa likod mo te gurl" balik ni Bri.

"Joke lang naman joke alam mo yon?" tawa nilang dalawa bago lumabas si Bri at sinundan si Ali pababa.

"Oh saan ka pupunta?" biglang tanong ni Ella nang lalabas na sana ako ng kwarto nila.

"Uuwi tol uuwi, edi shempre sa kwarto namin" I answered sarcastically.

"Ay di mo ako ibloblower? special naman si Sam" she rolled her eyes.

"Sabi mo na nga diba natuyo na yang buhok mo, tapat mo nalang sa electric fan" I joked bago lumabas na at naglakad pabalik ng room namin ni Keily.

"Sophia?" napalingon ako when I heard someone called my name.

"Oh Justice? bakit?" I immediately smiled back and asked. She was wearing a white tube and white satin wide leg flowy pants.

"Have you seen Ali? hindi ko kasi alam what color shirt she wants me to bring for her" napatingin ako sa dalawang kamay niya na may parehong hawak ng damit.

"Ahh, bumaba sila ni Bri to check daw yung rides?"

"Oh I see"

"You know what just bring both" I smiled.

"I-I mean you know para may choice na rin siya..not to teach you-"

She softly laughed, "Hahaha I understand, I'll take that advice" sambit niya bago bumalik na ng kwarto nila.

Nakahinga akong malalim nang makapasok na rin ako sa kwarto namin, Keily is still fixing what ever the hell she's fixing.

"Keil may balak ka bang matapos jan?!"

"Omg of course, excited na nga ako e" with that she then checked our bag for things na kulang.

"This is enough na, dalhin ko na kina Ella para malagay na nila gamit nila here" she proceeded to take the white and black leather travel bag and leave the room.

Naiwan na ako mag isa sa kwarto and I finally had the time to process all the thoughts running endlessly in my head.

"Bakit angrupok rupok ko?" I squinted my eyes bago umupo sa kama.

.

"Arghhh!" I whined. Until I heard the door open.

"Mag sapatos muna kayo papunta dalhin niyo nalang mga balak niyong pang outfit na sandals" Brielle suddenly reminded.

"Ha? baket?" I asked standing up.

"Basta" she went ahead leaving the door open.

Ano daw? I looked at my white and brown boho slip on. I guess sa bag ka muna.

"Oh ano na nakasapatos na ako" rinig kong sabi ni Ella paglabas niya ng kwarto nila.

"Crocs talaga hanggang dito Ella?!" reklamo ni Bri.

"E magpapalit naman ako mamaya bat ba kasi ang arte e"

"Fits naman sa mga outfit niyo" Ali complimented.

"Ay of course naman" sabat ni Ella.

"Joke lang yon" balik ni Ali with a straight face kaya nabatukan siya ni Ella.

"I'd sue you for abuse for all these years" banta ni Ali habang umiiwas parin sa mga kurot ni Ella.

"Che! wala akong pake ako mananalo sa korte lagi namang ikaw nauuna"

I looked at them through the open door while putting on my white rubber shoes.

"Paano ka mananalo kung babayaran ko yung judge?" tawa ni Ali bago tumakbo na pababa.

"Tanga ka Buenavista mahulog ka sana sa hagdan!"

Nagulat kami pareho ni Ella when we heard thuds sa hagdan at sigaw ni Ali, halos madapa dapa na ako hawak yung isa ko pang sapatos nang sabay kaming kinakabahan ni Ella bago mabilis na sumilip sa baba.

Down there was Ali smiling wide at us waving before laughing.

"Yiii concerned!" she screamed back at us.

"Aba putang-" tumakbo na si Ali palayo bago pa nakuha ni Ella yung pink and white niyang crocs na akmang ibabato pababa dito.

"Hi! meet our rides" Ali greeted us paglabas namin ng driveway with four ATVs.

"What?!" gulat na sagot ni Ella.

"Omg!! ugh I love it!" kabaliktarang reaksyon ni Keily.

"Oh reklamo pa kayo na ayaw magsapatos edi magheels kayo jan" comment ni Bri.

"A-are we allowed to drive here?" I asked curiously.

"As long as you brought your driver's license" Justice answered my question.

"Oh" I mouthed.

"Didn't you?" Ali worriedly asked.

"Uh- oh no I did, I did" I smiled assuring her.

"Oh good" she smiled back.

"Hoy e paano naman kame?!" ito namang si Ella very singit.

"Ay sasama ka?" Ali jokingly asked.

"Sasagasaan na talaga kita"

"Wag ka nang grumpy, may helmet naman bagay na bagay sayo" sabay abot sakanya ni Ali ng pink na helmet.

"Oh mga putangina niyo goodluck" she wore it agad.

"Matt drives alone.. unless someone else wants to ride with him" Ali smirked at Keily's direction.

"Huh? huy ano ba shy ako" pakipot nito.

"Oh shy ka pala sakin ka na sasabay" hila sakanya ni Bri bago pinagsuot ng helmet.

"Hala ito naman bawal magpa hard to get?-"

"Bawal, isuot mo na yan bago ako mapilitang itali ka nalang at ipahila sa atv ko" agad na sagot ni Bri bago sumakay na sa isa.

"So ano tutunganga nalang tayo dito?" Ali giggled asking.

"Here love" abot ni Justice sakanya ng black helmet. Sinuot niya to bago tumingin samin ni Ella.

"You guys okay riding together?"

"Sure" I nodded immediately.

"Hoy anong sure?! mapagkakatiwalaan ba kita?!parang mas may tiwala pa ako kay Justice e!" reklamo ni Ella.

"Arte mo" I pulled her bago pa siya makapagreklamo ulit.

"Hey Anna.. your helmet" Ali reminded.

"A-ah oo nga" tawa ko bago sinuot na tong red helmet.

"Ayan sinasabi ko na nga ba hindi ako ligtas sayo e" Ella again whined.

"Shh wala ka nang choice" I shushed her.

"Matt will lead the way, deretso na tayo nang beach. Later tonight we can ride again for the famous Mykonos nightlife" Ali instructed as we drove out the driveway.

"Hoy Fajardo umayos ka!" hindi pa nakakaalis mabibingi na ako sa mga reklamo ni Ella.

"Gusto mo ikaw na magdrive?!" sagot ko.

"Hinde! go na!" we shifted gears and started to go faster. Angganda ng daan dito malawak walang lubak lubak.

"Wooooo!" rinig naming sigaw ni Keily.

"Shet yung camera ko di ko nailabas sa bag!" sigaw rin ni Bri.

"Jusko po maiihi ata ako" rinig kong sambit ni Ella so I tried slowing down nakakahiya naman e.

"Soph!? bat angtagal niyo naman!?" lingon samin ni Keily. Nangunguna parin si Matt while sumunod sila Ali sakay si Justice.

"Sige lang baka maatake tong angkas ko!" sigaw ko.

"Alam mo tanga ka talaga!" pagkurot sa tagiliran ko ni Ella kaya napaliko kami ng konti.

"Hoy! hoy!" reklamo nanaman niya.

"Gaga ka ikaw may kasalanan non!" I answered back.

"Hindi na den oh tumingin ka na sa daan!"

"You guys okay?!" rinig kong tanong ni Ali pero medyo mahina na dahil medyo lumalayo na kami.

"Oo! okay lang! kahit gusto ko nalang iwan yung angkas ko"

"Alam mo magantay ka lang makarating tayo Fajardo sinasabi ko sayo-"

"Aray!" I nearly lost balance on my seat when I felt something got on my eye kaya napabreak ako ng biglaan.

"Ahhh!" rinig kong sigaw ni Ella. Nakatigil lang kami sa gitna ng daan when I heard loud engine sounds papalapit samin then a louder breaks sound.

I was holding my right eye with both hands and my left eye got a bit blurred sa pagkamot ko so I got a little startled when I felt someone held both my wrists.

"Hey! hey what happened?" Ali's voice.

"H-hmm?" I rubbed my eye na lumuluha na sa sakit.

"Anong nangyari?" she asked again and I felt na bumaba na si Ella from my back. Andito na rin pala silang lahat nakaflock around our ride.

"Sophia! bakit?!" nagaalalang tanong ni Ella.

"I- I got something in my eye.. napuwing ako" I shyly answered.

Bigla namang may kinuha si Ali sa atv nila and came back with a water bottle in one hand and a handkerchief on the other.

"Here, come down and wash it" she guided me pababa ng atv.

"Matt can you put the rides sa roadside, we're blocking traffic" she sounded serious and authoritative.

"Yeah sure, I got it" simpleng sagot ni Matt.

Inalalayan ako ni Ali na hugasan yung kung ano mang pumasok sa mata ko walang hiya nageenjoy lang naman ako.

"Huy ano teh, you need stitches?" tanong ni Keily na bumaba na rin ng sakay.

"Boba, it's not like sinaksak yung mata ko"

"Can you drive?" Ali asked still sounding worried.

"..Kaya ko naman" I hesitated.

"Ella did you bring your license?" Ali directed to Ella.

"ha? oo"

"Drive yourself, you can ride with me, Ave can go with Matt" she suddenly looked at me.

"H-ha?! nako hindi na, no need I can ride with.." I looked back at them all.

"H-hindi na, pwede naman lapa ako kay Ella makisakay" Ali isn't convinced.

"Sam why don't she just ride with me?" Matt presented.

Ali looked at him and for a second I thought she clenched her jaw. She then looked back at me seemingly asking for my answer.

"A-ah oo, I can go with Matt nalang" I smiled wiping my face.

"You sure?"

"Oo naman, you trust him, I can too" I proceeded to walk towards Matt's atv.

"Ehem" Keily whispered behind me.

"Keily parang hindi kaibigan e" I heard Ella whisper back kaya ngumiti ako.

"Wag kang magalala di ko siya bet" I giggled still trying hard to open my right eye.

Umandar na ulit kami and this time nauuna naman yung atv nila Ali, I can still see her looking back from time to time pero inignore ko nalang as pabilis na ng pabilis yung takbo namin.

"You guys wanna take the off-road?!" lingon ni Ali samin.

"Ha?! anong off road?! naooff daan dito?" rinig kong sigaw ni Bri.

"Tanga mag nakikita ka bang switch?! off road daw yung sa off ng road alam mo yon?! yung hindi road" ano daw? puta naman ni Ella mageexplain na nga lang.

"Alam niyo maiwan nalang kayo" Ali exclaimed as she suddenly turned her wheel palagpas ng daan.

Agad naman siyang sinundan ni Matt kaya napakapit nalang ako sa muscle tee na suot niya.

"OMG!!" I heard Keily scream sa likod namin and saw Ella na sumunod nalang rin kahit medyo mabagal.

"This is what's the helmet for!!" Ali's scream came through that caught my attention, I saw their ride almost flying across the route with Justice tightly gripping on her.

"Ahh!" I accidentally squealed when Matt accelerated our speed at tumabi kina Ali.

"Woooo!!shet!" masayang sambit ni Bri na nakasunod samin.

"Putang ina gusto ko nalang umuwi!!" sunod na pagsigaw ni Ella na pilit humahabol samin.

"Hey Ave, is it fine if I challenge Matt to a race?" I heard Ali habang halos magdikit na yung mga sinasakyan namin.

"I think it's not me you should be asking" Justice giggled as they both looked at me. Ali is obviously hiding a laugh.

"H-ha? ako? bakit ako?" I pointed to myself.

"Matt wag mo ihulog yan ah" sambit ni Ali.

"What?! anong ihulog? bakit mahuhulog?!" I panicked and started to move closer to Matt when I felt na lalong bumibilis yung takbo namin.

"Guys! mahuli sa beachside magbabayad ng rent!!" Ali looked back to the three behind us who are enjoying themselves a little too much.

"Hoy pass!! pass ako!!" reklamo ni Ella.

"Hindi ko tinatanong! I'm just telling you!" natatawang balik ni Ali.

"Game na game!!" sabay na sigaw ni Bri at Keily.

After that lalo pang tumaas yung gear namin, I can almost feel na mauubos na yung buhok ko sa bilis namin.

"Yeahhh!!" for the first time narinig naming sumigaw si Matt sa excitement, hindi ko alam kung matatakot ba ako kaya hindi ko na napansin na nakayakap na ako sakanya habang pabilis lang kami ng pabilis.

"You better not lose love! Go!" instantly I felt a little competitiveness seep in.

"Aba hinde! Matt bilisan mo pa!" I let loose a bit and started to cheer.

"Omg Bri ano ba?! kulang ka pa sa kanin, faster!" we laughed at Keily's encouraging words kay Bri.

"Mga pota kayo makabangga sana kayo ng bato!" singit ni Ella.

"Wow consistent Els! consistent last!!hahahaha!" pangaasar ni Ali.

"Hold tighter" rinig kong bulong ni Matt nang lumingon siya ng konti sakin.

"Huh? ingat ka ha takot ako sa sobrang bilis!!ahhh!-" halos makabitaw na ako sa biglang pag hirit ni Matt sa acceleration.

"Matt slow down!!" I screamed. I closed my eyes still holding tight sa shirt niya.

"Gago Matt you think you're fast enough?!" binuksan ko yung mga mata ko when I heard Ali's voice at nakitang nakahabol nanaman sila.

Matt just smirked and shook his head.

I turned to look at Ali who is now half standing with a wide smile, she's so attractive in her element.

"Hey! you good?!" I blinked before looking at her who's now smiling at me.

"Huh?! yeah yeah" I smiled back.

"See you when you're done eating sand Matty" nakangiting insulto ni Ali before speeding ahead.

Of course we lost to them, hindi lang yon naunahan pa kami nila Bri ewan ko ba buti nalang may Ella na magpapagaan ng loob kong medyo competitive.

"How about that?" Ali greeted Matt with a fist bump.

"You still have it" Matt smiled back.

"Pwede na ba akong magdriver?!!" patalon talong sigaw ni Bri habang katawanan si Keily.

"Really sorry if they made you uncomfortable Sophia" lumapit sakin si Justice na may dalang glass of some pink orange drink sabay inabot ito.

I smiled back "hindi naman, what's this?"

"Recommended drink sa beach bar" she explained as I took a sip.

"Oh this is good, anong tawag ulit?" I asked curiously.

"Uhuh it's Sam's personal favorite-- Sex on the beach" I choked on the drink.

"Uh- aray, ah sorry.." I excused my self and looked to the other direction. Justice laughed bago ako inabutan ng tissue.

"Okay ka lang? here"

"Hahaha yes, oo ayos lang first time ko lang ano.. matikman to" she nodded smiling.

"Guys!! hehe andito na ako!" sabay sabay kaming napatingin kay Ella na kakarating lang.

Bumaba na siya ng ATV bago tumakbo papalapit sakin at inagaw yung iniinom ko.

"Pucha sis, anginit pala pag kabado ka magdrive wooh!" banggit niya habang nagpupunas ng pawis bago uminom.

"Hoyy sherep" she commented.

"Oo pero hindi sayo yan, kumuha ka dun oh" turo ko sa bar before I snatched back my drink.

"Makikiinom lang naman, kayo nga mga hayup, iniwan niyo ako don ah"

"Oy hindi ah!mabagal ka lang" singit ni Bri habang tumatawa.

"True wag kang naninisi baka sagasaan ka namin" asar ko. I was laughing before I took a sip again sa inumin na hawak ko.

Binalik ko na yung tingin ko sa direksyon ni Justice, I almost choked again when I saw Ali staring back from afar beside Matt.

"Shuta" napabulong ako. She was holding her helmet in her hand facing Matt, parang may pinauusapan sila, but her head's turned to my way. I can't tell what's that look in her eyes.

"Sophia are you really okay?" Justice asked with a smile.

"Ha? ah.. yeah yeah" iniwas ko na yung tingin ko.

"Guys wala pa bang foods?! yung tummy ko is namamatay na" reklamo ni Keily.

"Gago ka talaga yan lang pinunta mo dito e" palo ni Ella sakanya.

"Hoy hindi naman.. si Matt pa ehe" kilig na ngiti ni Keily.

"Ah talaga ba sige dun ka na siya kainin mo" tulak sakanya ni Bri.

"Hala! sure!"

"Bobo talaga Keil" I remarked.

"Matt's single" singit ni Justice with a smile.

"Uuuuyyyy!" pangaasar ni Bri.

"Beh wag mo akong inaasar.. baka totohanin ko nato hnggg" batok naman ang inabot niya kay Ella.

"Luh wala namang pumipigil sayo, mukhang okay naman si Matt ilang taon na ba siya?" singit ko.

Nagulat ako when I felt someone came sa left side ko. Lumingon ako and saw Ali standing beside me.

She scoffed "So uhm- you're interested in Matt??" she looked at me with serious eyes but still smiling.
