After that whole mess by the train tracks, the neighborhood drama, and even a trip to the guidance office at school, Jeric's crew got expelled. Jessica, Lorraine, and Angela were super relieved 'cause no more troublemakers. Kate's off to school in Nueva Ecija, Arcy's with us in Bulacan. And Nikki? Dadoy told me she got shipped off to Tarlac.
Kate and I tried keeping the flame alive through texts and calls, but we didn't always talk much. So, I ended up getting closer to Lorraine. She'd come over to my place in Bulacan, even learned the commute pretty quick. If there wasn't a big quiz, she'd ditch her classes and show up in her uniform, with some casual clothes in tow. And it wasn't always about, you know, hooking up. We'd go on bike rides, long ones. I told her everything about me. From the landlord's kid, to Liza, Jennifer, Magnolia, and of course, Kate. We even did the same wild stuff Kate and I did when we first met. Showed her the vacant lot still unfinished, and the guardhouse where, well, you know. But I never told Lorraine about Pusa. She already felt insecure about Magnolia just from a picture, seeing how pretty she was. Jennifer was like Kate. I didn't want her getting more insecure over Pusa. That girl had quite the glow-up.
Pusa became my side chick. Yeah, I know, it's on me. Got used to juggling two girls 'cause I've never been caught. Lorraine never questioned me. She didn't suspect a thing... Probably because the girl was into our little secret too.
Pusa didn't have a phone but she knew my number. She'd borrow other people's phones to text me. In her area, you could pay two pesos to send a text from a store. One text from Pusa and we'd meet up. I'd pick her up and bring her to Bulacan.
And yeah, it wasn't just hooking up anymore, it was full-on sex. She was like Kate in that way. Crazy horny, and after I took her V-card, she got even wilder... Besides Jessica, Pusa was the only one who'd go all out with the blowjobs. They were more about giving pleasure than receiving it. Tight? Yeah, but you get used to it. There's always some pain, like stretching skin that feels like it'll tear. She said it was 'cause it was big. Our thing was just about sex and food. She wasn't into a love relationship yet.
Everything would've been fine if Jeric hadn't retaliated. He went after my mom.
