{CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE: INVITED}

Jacob's POV

Padabog akong pumasok ng bar namin tsaka dumeretso ng fridge. I really want to stress-out myself, for the fucking sake! If you're asking me if why am I mad again, some bastard just bumped his fucking bullshit low-modeled car on mine. 

Tangina, baliw ba sya?! Or sadyang nasilaw sa ganda ng kotse ko kaya hindi nya nakita kaya binangga na lang nya? Nakakatangina ang araw na toh, puta.

I quickly drank the glass of champagne straight before pouring another round. Kailangan ko talaga ng pampakalma or else baka makasapak na lang ako ng tao or worst makapatay pa. Marami kasing mga tao dyan na nagkalat tapos mga astang-hayop.

Oh, if you're thinking that I'm still mad at Cairo about the fight with Ivy's group, no...its over. We're back in good terms.

I was about to drink the another glass of wine but Jaziel was quick enough to snatch it from me.

"Aba puta---"

"Stop it, Jacob. You're 18 but it doesn't mean you can drown yourself in alcohols."

"Cut the crap, Jaz."

Naiiling na lang akong umalis sa tabi nya tapos umupo sa couch. Clarenz opened the television and tuned in for the CCN channel.

"What the fuck, Clarenz? Where are the chika-babes' channel?!"

Natawa ako sa puna ni Elijah. After all this time, I thought he's over with the sexy and good-damn looking girls. Yun parin pala ang hobby nya, and these past few days...laman sya ng mga hotel dito around Manila, and even cheap hotels, pinapatulan nya just for the not-so-pure and clean SPG moments.

Yuck. 

"Aba putangina, yan ba yung channel for Agriculture? Yung...y-yung, finifeature yung mga kabayong tulad ko?!"

Tignan mo tong isa na toh. Ang daldal masyado when it comes to horses! Sabagay, kamukha naman ni Jaziel eh. Why don't they copy me? Mas gusto ko pang humilata o matulog rather than watching boring channels in fucking dumb televisions or using Facebook seeing the oh-so-nonsense posts of your friends there. Na tipong pati pagkain nila, pinapaalam nila sa mundo kahit tuyo lang naman o kaya pandesal.

Since wala naman akong magawang matino, I walked to the empty couch bago nahiga at pumikit. This is more peaceful than---

"GUYS, MAY IMBITASYON AKONG NATANGGAP!"

What the fuck?!

"Cairo, pwede ba?! Lower your fucking irritating voice!" 

Aba, nakakainis sya. Nandun na ako eh, nakapikit na. Handa na akong matulog and then he came, tearing the bar's door off, shouting that he received an invitation. 

"So anong pakielam namin dyan?" 

It's Elijah speaking. Kaninang umaga lang sya umuwi with his polo shirt na sobrang kusot. He have been gone too far on his SPG sessions. Ugh! Nakakadiri talaga sya.

"I received an invitation with Ivy Montereal. Unfortunately, she's inviting us to attend to her party and we are one of her 18 roses." Paliwanag ni Cairo.

One of her 18 roses? So ngayon pa lang pala sya mage-18. She was too...young! Ka-edad ko lang sya. She was too young to be reckless and to be the leader of her group. She is quite, impressive.

"So ano ngang pakielam namin?" 

Natawa ako sa pambabara ni Elijah. Nag-SPG chuchu lang sya, natuto na nyang barahin si Cairo. Ngayon lang ako nakakakita ng improvement sa kanyang immaturity.

"We're going to attend that birthday party and we're going to surprise her."

3rd Person's POV

So its Ivy's sweet 18th birthday huh? Bakit hindi man lang nya ako inimbitahan. I was so offended but I am going to attend her birthday still. Kahit anong mangyari, no one can break my plans off. Kaya kong patumbahin lahat ng mga bagay sa gustong humarang sa lahat ng plano ko.

No one can stop me from doing what I want especially when it comes to Ivy. Papatumbahin ko sya in all other ways that I can ever think of. Legally or illegally, I will kill her and I will send her to the hottest pits of hell.

Kung kailangang samahan ko sya, I will!

"Is the breakfast ready?" 

Tanong ko sa kasambahay ko tapos agad naman syang tumango. I made my way to my dining hall before I started taking my breakfast. I was smirking involuntarily everytime na naiisip ko yung plano ko sa birthday ni Ivy.

I'm going to give her a present that she will never forget. Thus, she can treasure it in her memories forever. BTW, I am going to wear black. As far as I know, that is her motif.

Salamat na lang talaga sa mga resources ko, they always keep me updated in things that Ivy were in. Isipin mo, even her deep darkest secrets, nalalaman ko dahil sa mga kasosyo ko sa pagbabantay sa kanya.

If I would given a chance to say an advice to Ivy, I would only say one thing.

Never trust anyone and not all truths are true.
