Kalel, 15

You're an embarrassment.

What will people say?

That I'm a bad mother, and that's why this happened?

You shithead,

I send you to school.

It's all for nothing.

You can't smoke here, ma'am.

You better not tell your sister.

Her tongue is loose, like her vagina.

If you don't want the entire world to know…

don't tell anyone.

Laing.

-Pork blood stew, miss. -Miss, what do you need?

Where have you been?

Don't start. I'm not in the mood.

I told you not to leave dirty dishes here.

Give me a break!

I only have two hands. I'm swamped.

Kalel, don't just stand there.

We have so much work to do. Clear the table.

You're so tense.

-It's from too much work. -Do you feel it? Right here.

It's the middle of the day, and you're flirting with my friend.

Are you taking her seriously?

Just go back to your stall, Mameng.

They need those ingredients.

GOOD NIGHT, WORLD.

LET'S GO TO SLEEP.

Kalel, where's the blow dryer?

Hey!

What an ass.

Are you listening to me? Where is it?

How should I know?

-You were the last to use it! -Was that necessary?

You're so careless!

You're the one with panties lying around!

You leave my panties out of this!

Stop this at once.

It's his fault.

Going somewhere?

Yes, I already told you. Danny's going to pick me up.

Now?

Yes.

Mameng placed an order for three kilos of spring rolls.

Just ask your boyfriend to give us a hand here.

I can't!

-Such a slut. -I said no.

You're an idiot.

You want me to hit you back?

What the fuck are you doing?

Show your sister some respect!

-She started it. -Jerk.

What have I got to do with it?

It's our day off, but we're still working.

What?

I'm exhausted!

Excuse me. Do you think I enjoy this?

I am killing myself just to feed the two of you!

You ungrateful wretch!

Stop being a slut!

There are better men out there.

All you do is have sex with Danny!

Do you use condoms?

Must I tell you everything I do?

Pardon me, madame, but you can be a real idiot sometimes.

Fuck.

You might get pregnant again.

-Fuck this life! -Life says fuck you too!

Come back here when you're dressed!

Did you tell her?

Sis.

Hurry.

Take this.

Ma, I'm leaving.

Go straight to school.

Here.

Text me.

Ms. Torres.

Please repeat what I said.

You're not listening.

Who are you texting?

Kalel, are you okay? You seem a bit off today.

I'm just not feeling well.

Are you and Sue having problems?

No.

Why are you avoiding her, then?

She kept calling me yesterday, asking if you were with me.

You haven't even fucked yet, and you're breaking up?

Have you made out with her?

Make-out extreme!

I got to mash her boobs!

Did you check out her breasts?

Her nipples are pink, right?

Eloisa's are really dark, like Oreo cookies.

They're as big as the original Oreos.

What's a guy to do? They're delicious.

She lost our bet. I won.

Here.

Hey!

Want some?

Come back here!

What's wrong?

Nothing.

Tell me.

You figure it out.

Your good night pic has 1,000 likes. Who are these people?

My fans.

For real?

You can bid them good night, but you can't send me a reply.

Why are you stalking me on FB?

Am I not allowed?

I thought I was your girl.

Look, I'm sorry.

I had to do a lot of errands for my mom.

-Can I have a kiss? -Jerk.

It's just a kiss.

We're in our uniforms. Give me that.

Special trip, please.

Let me know when you're home safe.

LET'S JERK OFF TOGETHER.

IS THAT REALLY YOUR DICK?

WHAT'S YOUR ASL, BRO?

ARE YOU GAME?

Get up. Your father's downstairs.

Hurry. He can't stay long.

You finally found time.

I didn't have a choice.

Thanks.

You kept pestering my secretary.

Kalel, sit down.

What happened to you?

Only gay men end up with that.

Are you gay?

Where did you get it?

He won't answer.

I sounded like a broken record, but I got nothing.

Where's that soup you made? My stomach is aching.

You're done talking to him?

I'm hungry.

Did you let someone butt-fuck you?

Thanks.

It's hot.

Look, a sports car!

Isn't that Kalel's father?

Get inside!

Is that still a thing?

It used to be expensive.

You can get it for 4,000 in Manila.

-Kalel. -Bro.

Your turn.

I want to go home.

Then, go.

Aren't you coming with us?

Caloy will text us if his dad leaves.

We already bought beer and munchies.

Do we have enough?

Yes.

One more.

Good stuff.

Just like a rock star.

Can I talk to him?

Bro.

Bring the lighter.

Are you sure you just want to talk?

What are we?

Humans.

Idiot.

Okay, we're idiots, then.

Be serious.

What I meant was,

are we just friends,

or more than that?

You want out?

Stop playing games. You're such a child.

So we're not humans nor idiots, and I'm such a child. So, now what?

Stop it. Do we have a problem?

You can be sweet at times.

And then suddenly, cold and uncaring.

Earlier, you seemed to be in your own world.

You were paying more attention to that girl.

What was that?

You want my life to revolve around you?

I just want what we used to have.

I want to feel that I'm important to you.

You don't have to say it.

I know something has changed.

So?

You're just going to ignore me?

Ma.

-Where have you been? -What are you doing?

We were working on a group project. Why?

I kept texting, but you never replied!

That phone is just a waste of money.

Just because I didn't reply

doesn't give you the right to go through my things!

-They're mine. -Where did you get these?

They're very expensive.

Are you using drugs?

Are you selling drugs?

What's going on? People are sleeping.
