ALOUDIA RIVERO'S Point Of View

“WAIT a minute, Alice! Where are we going?” I’m starting to get annoyed by this woman. She kept her mouth shut the whole time. I even told her, I will punch the man who cheated on her and tied him up with that btch who steal her boyfriend. But she’s not cooperating and never agreed.

She was just getting dumped when her boyfriend cheated on her. Tsk! Now, she’s crying. What was wrong with her! I don’t even know where the hell I found answering her a yes when she asked me as we’re going to a nightclub.

I’m Aloudia Manalang Rivero by the way, I just turned nineteen last month and Alizia Estrada or Alice was my best friend. We grew together in the same subdivision we were living. But compares to me, she is rich and she can do everything with her money. Her family was a multi-millionaire and own ten construction materials companies that supply house or building materials all over the country. And I was like her assistant slash best friend. But I never think bad about her because she’s really good to me.

In fact, she always kept chocolates for me and branded running shoes whenever she traveled abroad with her family.

“Shh! Quiet. We are almost there,” Alice said, giving me a warning. She grip the steering wheel tight and drove the car, turning left in an instant.

I clasp the handle inside the car. Anytime we might get an accident because of her reckless behavior. Oh, my! Don’t tell me…

Alice park the car in front of a bar or a club? I don’t even know what it was.

“Come on! Make it fast,” she said impatiently. I don’t want to go inside honestly, but she’s persistent as ever. I had no choice. I don’t want to wait for her in her car until the news will come out.

I don’t even know what we’re going to do here? Unless… her bastard cheater ex-boyfriend was there.

I felt my feet are heavy as a sack of rice. I even forced myself to move and follow her. She was walking fast as she could in front of the main entrance.

She stops and I stop; I nudge her. “Are you sure we are going inside? We are minors and they did not allow us,” I said, whispering. I don’t want to catch some attention with those huge men standing in front of us like bouncers.

Nah-ah ah! They are staring at us now.

I never went here. This was probably my first time if those two huge men will allow us for the entry. Even when my other schoolmates kept on telling me they had been in the club or bar before, I ignored them. My life was like a school-house, house-school event. I never take part in any parties at all. I mean, I know I am not a party-goer but because there was no sense entering into that such place.

But I felt pity for Alice now. She looks miserable, and she needed some drinks—I mean alcohol to spice her life. I have no choice since she adapts to U.S. life.

I don’t think they will let us enter. I look at Alice from head to toe. She’s wearing fine. A floral body-con dress, but how about me? I not wearing a dress but a polo shirt and pants. I’m not saying I was a tomboy, I just like this style. 

What the hell do I care if they are going to question my dress code? If I’m not allowed to enter inside, then good for me. No trouble for a good girl like me.

I was expecting a kind of thing, but what the heck?

“W-Wait! Did those huge men outside let us enter?” I can’t believe what I saw. They just open the main door. Those men with visible muscles were about to explode from their black shirts.

“Yes, absolutely. They knew me and I’ve been here a few times,” she said confidently.

Fine! The guards outside didn’t check our identity or our age. These are the pros of having a wealthy family. Alice is rich and she can have everything she could ask for.

The lights were dim as the music got loud. People stare at us… I mean. What the heck? They are staring directly at me.

Oh! I get it because I’m not in their dress code. Well, I don’t care if they are going to think something or keep a fuss. It’s not my problem anymore.

The crowd wasn’t my thing. So noisy, dim and the atmosphere wasn’t good either. I’d rather study at home or school, lock in a library than stay here… not any longer, at least.

“Where is she?” I don’t know how many times I blink, but I just stare around, then Alice vanished from my front. “Alice!” I tried to search for her until I got doomed and stuck in the crowd.

People were pushing ahead of me as if the area was narrow. I mean, there were a lot of spaces.

“Ahhh! love you, Yuen! Please marry me!” 

“Ahhh! Will you be mine!”

“No, I’ll be yours!”

“Let them die, but you’ll be mine!”

So btch! Why they are acting like that? I felt my ears were going to explode anytime. Darn! There were a lot of ladies screaming and mixed with this music. And the music looks like referring to me. Another darn! Who’s the one singing the darn song, so I can punch him? They are so noisy—the crowd, especially the ladies.

Is there’s no tomorrow? I will put the fork in your velum, you will see. Tsk!

I have no choice but to find a place for me to sit. I can’t stay here standing with the crowd like that. They kept shouting over to that lousy singer. I find a place almost in the corner. I look around the crowd again and search for Alice. Until my eyes found her.

OH... She’s now on the stage dancing like a… Oh no! Was she having a dirty dance? That was not good at all. If she’ll mess here, I will ignore her and run outside. Let her crawl on the floor going out if she gets boozy. I will not help her even if she’s my best friend.

With the lights turning on and off, I felt dizzy with this kind of place. The people were so noisy that was excited about the party as if they didn’t have a party in their whole life. If I only knew that Alice wanted to get drunk, then I might convince her to buy a beer-in-can rather than going into this messy, rowdy, dark place like this.

Once again, I had no choice but to take some juice when a server came and asked for a drink. I never drink any alcoholic beverages or even tasted them. Beer? Even that, I never tried.

I guess, where I was sitting, no one will going to interrupt me. I will just wait until Alice was done with her misery.

But something caught my attention. I gulped when suddenly someone looked at me. He’s looking not good. He looks like a monster in my eyes. I smell something ‘Bad vibes’ in here.

“You’re new here,” he said, starting for a conversation. I’m not interested in him at all. He should have stayed where he was before. I already saw him when he looks at me. And I didn’t expect he will come and talk to me right now.

What now if I’m new here? Did he have any objection?

He looks at me, confusedly from what I am wearing.

What’s wrong with my clothes? Am I not human as how he gazes at me?

I didn’t expect Alice will come next to me. She looks intoxicated. She’s the one confronting this guy. While I just raise an eyebrow at him. I don’t know if he saw my facial expression since it was dim where I was right now. Don’t even think I don’t know how to fight. I can fight fair enough.

He just ignored Alice and walk straight heading to me. I rise from my seat and he asked the weirdest thing I heard ever, “Are you a boyish or what?” He scanned me from head to toe as if reading a book.

I know, my style was distinct, out of this world. But does he mean he just saw a human today?

“Who cares?” I answered. I lift the glass and drink everything until the last drop.

I need to salivate my throat. I felt my blood drain with the people in this place.

“Hey, Yuen! Hi. This is Loud, my besty. She was with me,” Alice said, smiling at him as if seducing this guy. And looks like this guy wasn’t interested in her at all. Plus, he wasn’t my reason for coming here. “Yuen, sorry for her clothes. She’s always like that—her style. She’s boyish and unfashionable. Just let her be.”

What did she just say? Does she really need to embarrass me?

I get it that she was drunk right now, but saying those nasty words were beyond.

But that guy—arrogant, coc.ky, a bastard guy just laugh in front of me.

I even send signals to Alice but she ignored it.

I creased my forehead. Just be prepared, later on, mister monster arrogant guy. Once, I’m done with Alice, you will be next.

“Could you shut your mouth?” I said looking straight into his eyes. I’m starting to get the annoyance.

He met how dreadful my stare was.

“Hey! What’s your problem? Is this your first time seeing a human? Are all the monsters were there in your world like you?” But it seems like he didn’t hear what I said. He was concentrating staring at my face.

Confirm! This is the first time he saw a human the same as me.

“I’m the lead vocalist of the group, I hope you enjoy your night.” Lead vocalist? So, he’s the reason those btches screamed. Why the heck do I care? He turns his back.

“What’s your name?” I asked, so next time I will put him on my blacklist.

“Hey! Are you deaf! I’m asking your name!” This time, I yelled at him. Maybe the music and loud noises affected his eardrum.

He had a few steps away from me and I got stunned. My eyes widened in shock at what he did.

This is horrible!

Did he just… kissed me?

Shoot! It wasn’t just a kiss, but a stolen kiss.

What the heck! Is he out of his mind?

“Yuen Nakashima,” he said, answering my question, a grin plastered to his lips that I even wanted to smudge right now and turn his back, then continue walking as if nothing happens.

Did he think it was useful and I’m interested to know who the heck is he?

I greeted my teeth. I walk fast as I could. My steps were bigger than normal, even the beat of my heart wasn’t normal either. My hands formed a fist. Darn it!

“Hey!” I yelled. Did he think that I got lucky and it was fun?

The crowd gets quiet and they are now watching at us right now when I caught their attention. Let it be, we’ll continue this. We’ll see if they are going to scream and had the joy from what I will do.

Then…

A sound almost smashes the floor when that co.cky arrogant-bastard guy that steals my kiss lost his consciousness. Shoot! I finally get it. Only fools have no reward. We’ll see if you can stand on your feet from what I did.
