Luxury's P.O.V

I opened my phone while walking. May i-aanounce kasi ako sa gc para sa importanteng event. Pagbukas ko ng twitter ay sobrang tahamik nila.

Himala.

Mga ogags<33< strong>

luxphinx: Guys

elsage: oh?

sebastianflurry: Po?

isaacmaxwell: Po? (2)

tristanchandler: Nagpopo 'd naman mabait.

May point si Tristan.

jaceaugustin: Tama si Tantan, btw po?

aeronbenson: Kunwari mabait. Ano ba yun Lux?

drianchavez: Guys pala kayo? HAHAHAHAHA jk

I couldn't help but laugh at Adrian's comment. Hindi naman siguro sila bakla?

aeronbenson: T*ngina mo Adrian.

tristanchandler: T*ngina mo Adrian. (2)

jaceaugustin: (3)

isaacmaxwell: (4)

sebastianflurry: (5)

elsage: (6)

I sighed and finally took the opportunity to chat. Masyado na silang maingay.

luxphinx: can I talk first?

drianchavez: ay sorry, ikaw na po

luxphinx: thanks, anyways, i'll be needing more members for the dance team. Since marami nang grumaduate. Alam nyo naman na sumasali kami ng mga showcase, right?

tristanchandler: Ay oo nga pala. Kulang na kami ng members, sino gustong sumali?

elsage: SI JACE!

Nagtaka ako nang sabihin ni Eli na gusto raw sumali ni Jace. Does he even dance?

isaacmaxwell: Ay oo si Jace

jaceaugustin: HOY MGA G*GO BAKIT AKO

aeronbenson: Sali ka na, hiya ka pa eh. Si Lux naman makakasama mo

jaceaugustin: AYOKO NGA KAYO NALANG

Napabuntong hininga ako sa mga reply nila.

luxphinx: it's okay, i'm not forcing y'all to join. Okay lang kung hindi, hahanap nalang ako sa ibang section.

sebastianflurry: WAG NA SI JACE NA

jaceaugustin: Sige sasali ako basta

elsage: Basta?

tristanchandler: (2)

aeronbenson: ayan nanaman yang bilangan

aeronbenson: putek- sabing wag na sundan eh

sebastianflurry: Hoy wag niyong galitin yan

tristanchandler: oo nga wag nyong galitin baby ko

Naglandian pa nga.

elsage: Seriously? In front of my pancit canton?

luxphinx: I only asked for volunteers, then naglandian na kayo

isaacmaxwell: Sila lang yun

luxphinx: anyway, gtg, may gagawin pa ako. See y'all later

I didn't wait for their reply at pinatay ko na ang phone ko. Kailangan ko pang pumunta ng dance studio. Sa Four-S dance studio kami nagpapractice since 'yon ang pinakamalapit. Pagpasok ko ng studio, binati ako ng isang dance teacher. Actually, sabay kaming nagtraining pero mas nauna nga lang siyang grumaduate at cinareer na nga ang pag-sasayaw.

"Oh, Lux? Magtetraining ka ulit? Inaaraw araw mo na yan ha. Magpahinga ka naman." Aniya.

"Nako kuya Migs, ayos lang. Malapit na rin kasi yung showcase eh kaya kailangan kong magpractice. Alam mo na, nakakahiya kung magkamali ako sa sayaw diba?" Sagot ko.

"Mas nakakahiya kung matutumba ka sa stage dahil kulang ka sa pahinga. Anyways, promise me na magpapahinga ka ha?" he stated. He's right though.

"Opo, promise po magpapahinga ako after." I just smiled at him.

Kumuway na siya at palabas na rin ng studio. Mukhang iinom nanaman to sa Dapitan. 

I went inside the usual room kung saan ako nagpapractice. Tinabi ko na 'yong mga gamit ko at tinanggal na rin ang polo ko. Naka white t-shirt ako na may design. Black lang naman yung design kaya ayus na rin. Plinay ko naman 'yong gagamitin naming music para sa sayaw. I chose Strip That Down by Liam Payne since paborito ko ito. Nagsimula akong mag-warm up and replayed the song. I danced energetically, there are parts na inayos ko.

It was already 5:27 pm nang matapos kong i-finalize ang sayaw. I took a video of myself so I can show it to the guys. Kilala ko naman mga kasama ko. They're fast learners so 2 weeks of practice will do. Nagpalit na ako ng damit at aaktong lalabas na sana nang nagnotify ang phone ko.

Nash: Bro, tara. Andito si Kuya migs sa Dapitan. Iinom raw, sama ka na.

Here we go again.

Luxury: Nah, I'm good. Plus may klase bukas.

Nash: You're being nerdy again. Have some fun naman. Lagi ka nalang nasa practice. Lagi ka pang nag-aaral. Don't worry, gagraduate kang Engineer.

Natigilan ako nang sabihin nyang Engineer. That's not what I ever wanted.

Luxury: Nash, mag-aarchi ako.

Nash: Oh.. yeah right. Anyway, tara na.

Luxury: Fine, I'll be there just wait.

I didn't wait for his reply at tinago na ang phone ko. Agad naman akong umuwi ng condo at nagbihis. Nagwhite T-shirt lang ako pang loob at black leather jacket para ipares. Naka maong pants naman and white Balenciaga shoes. I didn't bring much but my wallet and phone. Bumaba na ako ng condo at dumeretsyo na sa Dapitan. Ang lapit lang naman ng bar sa condo kaya kabisado ko ang daan. 

I drove my car in a low speed para ipaghintay sila. I don't wanna come early, I might get so wasted later. Pagdating ko, bumungad sa'kin si Adrian at Jace. Nagtaka tuloy ako. 'Di naman nagbabar 'tong dalawang ito.

"L-Lux? Lux!" Adrian awkwardly said.

"Anong ginagawa niyo dito?" kumunot ang noo ko nang titigan silang pareho.

"Ano kasi... uhm.. inimbita kami ng inuman." ani Adrian.

"Drian, Jace, you two don't even drink so... why?" sabi ko.

"Eto kasi 'di nalang magsabi ng totoo. Ito kasing si Drian, inimbita nung crush niyang Lasallian para uminom. Hindi naman 'to maka hindi, crush niya 'yon eh." nakangiting saad ni Jace.

"Oh, you mean Zayne?" I smirked a little.

"Oo! 'Yong Zayne!" ani Jace na para bang sumisigaw.

"Jace pasmado bibig." Iritang sabi ni Adrian kaya pumasok na siya sa loob.

"Oo nga pala, anong ginagawa mo dito?" tanong sa'kin ni Jace.

"I'm gonna drink with my friends from La Salle." I just smiled.

"Kasamahan ba nila Zayne? Kung oo, hali ka na!" Hinila ako ni Jace sa loob.

Hindi naman ako nagreklamo at sinundan lang siya kahit na kabisado ko na 'yong bar.

"Lux! Bro, ba't ang tagal mo? Naka apat na bote na kami oh!" reklamo ni Nash.

"I don't wanna get wasted," saad ko at nagsalang ng Black Label sa baso. I drank almost half of the glass cup.

"Wow ha, Black Label agad? 'Di ba puwedeng pa Red Horse o San Mig ka muna?" ani Jace kaya napalingon ako at ngumisi.

"Si Lux? Magrered Horse at San Mig? Nako Jace, immune na yan sa Black Label, Hennessy, at Tequila. 'Di na yan nagwawarm up." tumawa si Zeke.

"Shut up," lang ang nasabi ko at chinug 'yong natirang Black Label sa baso ko. Hindi naman ako makakasabi ng iba pa, totoo naman rin. I don't drink Red Horse nor San Mig. Mas gusto ko 'yong mas malakas iyong tama.

"What?" sabi ko nang mapansing nakatitig sa'kin si Jace.

"Patikim nga," he asked shyly as he pursed his lips and looked down.

I just chuckled and shook my head.

"No. 'Di ka umiinom, right? Baka unang inom mo palang K.O. ka na." I just let out a small chuckle.

"Edi wag!" Napasimangot tuloy siya at tumabi kay Drian na ngayon ay kinakausap si Zayne.

Nagsalang uli ako ng Black Label sa baso ko. Chinug ko naman iyon nang nilabas na nila 'yong Tequila. Magsasalang na sana ako ng Tequila nang may umakbay sa'kin.

"Lux, long time no see." She smiled sweetly.

"Hey," I greeted.

"Wow ha, ang cold." she laughed.

"Trixie, I'm not cold. 'Di ka lang nasanay." I said as I poured Tequila in my glass.

"Sorry ah, tamad kasi akong lumakad simula NU hanggang UST." she scoffed.

I just sighed and also gave her a drink. Tinanggap niya naman 'yon at ininom.

"Gosh, it's like my first time to drink this again." she smiled.

"Tumigil ka ba sa pag inom?" I looked at her.

"Well, apparently yes. Since kailangan kong bantayan 'yong anak ni ate. Ako na kinikilalang ina nun simula nang mawala si ate eh." she smiled sadly.

Hindi na ako nagtanong pa at ininom na ang tequila. Umupo ako sa tabi ni Nash at nakipag kuwentuhan. I just noticed na may taga FEU, NU, Ateneo, UST, at UP roon. Mostly na nakakasama ko kasi ay Lasallians lang.

Naubos na 'yong Black Label at Tequila. Nilabas naman nila agad ang Margarita. I just smiled as I saw my favorite drink. Agad akong sumalang ng Margarita sa baso ko at uminom. While drinking, napalingon ako kila Drian na ngayong nagcecellphone nalang. Mukhang nabored. I took two bottles of San Mig flavored drink para 'di gaanong nakakalasing at ibinigay kila Drian.

"Drink up," I looked at them.

Tinanggap ito ni Drian habang si Jace ay tinignan lang ito. I sighed and opened the bottle for him. 

"Tanggapin mo na." sabi ko.

Tinanggap niya naman ito at tinikman. Nung una, mukhang 'di niya nagustuhan pero tinuloy-tuloy niya naman ang pag-inom kaya umupo na ako ulit.

It was 7:36 nang matapos kami. I told them na hindi na magpapalate since may pasok kami. Hinatid ko na sila Zed at Trixie since iisa lang sila ng condo. Sumabay naman daw kasi si Zed kay Nic, which already left earlier before us. Nang mahatid ko na sila, umuwi na rin ako.

Nang makarating ako sa condo, uminom agad ako ng tubig at nag-half bath. After dressing up and eating dinner, gumawa na muna ako ng plates. Next week pa naman ipapasa pero tatapusin ko na, patapos na rin naman eh. I'm sure na may bagong plates na ipapagawa sa susunod na mga araw. I remember someone while I was busy making my plates. Kinuha ko ang phone ko at inopen ang twitter para i-dm si Jace.

luxphinx: did u arrived home safely?

jaceaugustin is typing...

jaceaugustin: Yesss

Napangiti ako at bumuntong hininga.

luxphinx: that's good to know.

did you eat dinner?

jaceaugustin: Ay pafall, iba rin. dejoke

I can't hep it but smile at what he said. Pafall huh?

luxphinx: nafall ka naman? Don't worry, I'll catch you.

I smirked at my reply. 

jaceaugustin: Ay grabe, nagbibiro lang naman eh. Goodnight na nga

luxphinx: okay then, good night.

I turned off my phone and laughed. Ano ba pinanggagawa ko? I continued to make my plates. Hindi naman ako nakapagconcentrate ng konti sa kakaisip sa reply ni Jace. Did I annoy him? If so, that's good to know. Kidding.

After I finished my plates, I decided to sleep na. Inaantok na rin naman ako eh. Plus, it was already 11:19 pm. I shouldn't stay up late, or else I'll wake up late. 

Kinabukasan, nagmadali na ako sa pagligo at bihis at dumeretsyo na sa school para 'di ako malate, since I woke up kinda late. Inabangan naman pala ako ni Isaac sa pintuan.

"Muntik ka nang malate ah." He laughed.

"I woke up late, tinapos ko 'yong plates ko." I sat down.

"Sipag naman." He just nodded.

"Yeah, I want to graduate. I promised mom na aayusin 'yong shop namin. She really loved the shop since it was built by her father." I sighed as I opened my notebook. Hindi na kami nagkuwentuhan pa nang dumating na si Prof. 

Nang matapos ang klase, dumeretsyo ako ng court para makipagmeeting sa dance team. Inilagay ko 'yong bag ko sa gilid and waited for the others. Si Tantan, Jameson, Alex, at Flurry palang ang naroon. Umupo muna ako sa gilid at gumawa muna ng plates. Napatigil nga lang ako nang may makitang grupo na pumasok sa court.

"Lux, ayan na sila," Ani Tristan.

"Hi guys!" Bati ni Aeron habang naglalakad palapit sa'min.

'Di ako nakabati pabalik dahil busy ako kakatingin sa grupong nasa likod niya. Andon si Jace, kaya nung nagtagpo ang mga mata namin, umiwas ako agad ng tingin. Tumayo na ako at pinaupo silang lahat habang pumunta ako sa harap.

"So, the people who followed Aeron are the new members, I see." lumingon ako sa grupo nila.

"Yep, they are," Aeron smiled.

"Kindly introduce yourselves bago tayo magsimula." I smiled at them and sat back down.

Some of the new members were my friends kaya kilala ko na 'yong iba. Nauna nang magpakilala si Elijah, sumunod naman si Jace, Drian, at Isaac. Ang huling nagpakilala ay napaka pamilyar. My mouth formed an 'o' when he started to introduce himself. Saka ko na narealize that it was Trixie's suitor.

"Hi, I'm Ian. 2nd year college, mechanical engineer. Nice to meet you all." He smiled.

"Okay, I'll just choose members since napakarami natin. Oh, also, Jameson and Alex will be leaving the dance team. Mas magfofocus daw sila para sa basketball." I said and they nodded as a response.

I didn't wait any longer and began the meeting. I hope I chose the right members. The right members who can easily remember some steps for the dance showcase. I'm a perfectionist. I'm also very competitive. I want everything to be neat. I hope the new members can learn in just 2 weeks. I hope.
