1 CHAPTER 1

The dust coming from the jeep exhaust goes to my face. I used my hand and waved it to calm down. What time is it that I am still here in the jeep.

"What is that, the jeeps are too long. I'm already very hot," Clara complained next to me.

"I told you, the jeeps are having a rally today. We should have left the South early." inirapan ko s'ya. There is a rally today, which means that few are traveling and the departure is even more complete today. If he only knew how long we waited at Mcdo just to see his crush troops just look at him.

"You know it only eats out once!" it still suffers.

After five minutes of waiting in the jeep, we boarded.

"Payment," Clara handed us the payment. "That's when we were released, thank you for coming with me hehe." Shame on you.

"It's okay sis," I replied and looked at the followers of my twitter account.

"Hey, he's already growing your twitter ah?" Clara commented when she saw my profile.

"I also don't expect my account to grow like that. But you know?" I will hang on to say.

"What?" its excited response.

"I want it to happen that my tweets will be featured on FTTM," I said. Not at the height of my dream, I just really want my tweets to be famous. This is not just a joke, I also give lessons in my tweets.

Through this social media platform I am able to educate young people. I can also say that the account is big so I just have to persevere in using my voices to make people aware of what is happening in our country.

"You can do it!" Clara encourages us. Clara is the type of person who can forgive, support, love others but she herself cannot.

"We're close to San Diego," I commented when I saw Metrobank. "This is our poem, I changed something a bit from what you did but the thought is still there. I didn't even kill the hero, it hurts too much." I commented on the poem he wrote.

Honestly, Clara is good at writing poetry in case the words she uses are too deep and do not match our age, I changed it so that I can easily master it.

"Of course, it will be presented on Tuesday," he said remembering what date it was. "All right, I'll memorize it later. Let's practice tomorrow at the Gym," he said and got out of the jeep. I just nodded in response.

Clara did not go down that far from me, so soon I went down as well. I passed behind Puregold where the tricycle terminal was coming to us.

When I got home, I was just surprised that someone DM me. This is no longer normal for me. What surprised me was that it was not a woman who DM me but a man.

This is just a picture with a white sweatshirt and a beige cap. It has the caption 'Hey, wanna talk?'

I ignored it. Firstly because the weird thing is that he suddenly sends a picture, and secondly I don't know him.

I came to school, as usual. It's too early. I was in the classroom with one of our beautiful classmates, Ysabelle. Clara and Daphne have been best friends since elementary school. The class has just started and Clara is just getting close to me because last year, she was the leader in the booth we made.

Speaking of Clara, it came with Daphne. They serve each other so the two always enter at the same time. Ysabelle met Clara, and Azalea met Daphne. I admire their friendship especially the three, Ysabelle, Clara, and Daphne. I'm most amazed at Clara, she can easily adjust to a new person with their different environment and will become friends. After a few talk Clara went to the seat beside me.

"Goodmorning," she greeted then put her bag down her seat.

"Morning," I said.

"I already know everything," he said, pertaining to the poem.

"Just share?" I blocked, but I only received irap. "'Te, do you know?" I will ask.

"Of course not yet," back blocking what I did to him earlier.

"Epal," I said and laughed. "That's right, someone texted me,"

"Oh?" its worthless response and constantly searching for things in the bag. Am I saying that and only Jameson has it please.

"Handsome," I added.

"Handsome?!" he looked at me in shock. "Tingen!" He said gesturing in front of my cellphone.

"Handsome? Where?" Daphne turned to me. "Sorry, feeling close." he said and signed peace when he noticed I was shocked to look at him. I have taken this opportunity to make new friends.

"Eto oh," I showed a picture of the man who sent me.

"Hala! He's handsome!" Clara giggled when she saw the picture. "Ysa, look oh! The handsome!"

"Az, look

You're even more handsome than Max! "Daphne shouted at Azalea, referring to her boyfriend in the other section.

His two friends looked up and looked at the picture.

"Bet! Still sending a profile," Ysa said laughing.

"Tse! Max is still better," Azalea defended her boyfriend.

We all laughed at the variety of reactions we received. Soon the bell rang, signaling the first subject.

After two subjects for this morning is recess. Clara left with Ysabelle at the same time to eat at the Cafeteria with her friends in the other section. While the two stayed to eat in the room.

I went to the small canteen, where my friend and I used to eat last year. I enjoyed my meal and talk with the people I haven't spent much time with.

"Do you remember last year? How angry Javier gets when we make noise!" Asher, who is still my classmate until now, said with a laugh, "I bet, until now he is still the same!" he said.

"I'll bet, twenty." Diana's fuel.

"Send me a vid," Ryleigh said.

"Me too," Juliette added.

Now Ryleigh, Juliette, and Aria are together in one section. We are Diana, Dawn, and Asher. Audrey was left alone.

My advisor this year is still the same as in the past, Binibining Cabrero.

"Javier, and officers, miss." said our teacher at the end of her class.

Gradually the people in the classroom disappeared. I also helped clean the cleaners to speed up the time. When the cleaners got home, our beadle started attending for the first meeting.

Jaclyn called us one by one, and when the attendance was over we started right away.

"What is your favorite theme for our bulletin?" said Binibing Cabrero.

"We did a survey earlier," Taylor replied. "Brennan and I have also been counted"

Taylor and Brennan are our peace officers.

"The result is Adventure Time," Brennan replied.

"Then, Clar," Binibini called to Clara.

"Yes?" anito.

"Adventure Time is the theme chosen, you make three lay-outs for three bulletin boards. Give the design to me until Friday." Binibini ordered.

"Yes!" its answer.

"Javier," he called to me.

"Yes?"

"Think of a container of piles of bottles in the back," he said and looked at the bottles there. It is not messy, the only problem is that it is stacked on the back and almost occupies space here.

"All right," I replied. "Azalea, we need a black trash bag, just like we did last year." our treasurer just gave me a small nod.

"Keith, Azalea, collect ten tomorrow and the next day. That is for the investment for the bulletin," Binibini ordered.

"All right," agreed the auditor, and treasurer.

"If we have nothing more to talk about, Jaclyn, put in what time we finished." said the young lady and left the room.

I quickly arranged my belongings and went straight to the locker to put a few books that I did not need to take home.

"Javier!" Clara shouted from the door. "Are you coming home at the same time?" its a question.

"Oh, no. I'm still going through something." I only said so.

"Is that so? All right, Meagan and I will go first. Be careful where you go!" Greet it and leave.

I went to LBC near the school. My sister asked me to get something and the documents needed for her departure. I have never asked for an I.D. because I already know the crew. Then I went straight to the Pandayan Bookshop to buy some paperwork needed for school.

I got home at six o'clock. Due to the heavy traffic and the small number of jeeps, darkness overtook me. From outside the house I saw them mama and papa outside and grilling our dish.

"Good evening, ma, pa." I greeted and shook hands. "I'm sorry it took so long to get home, traffic in Maysan." when I explain.

"Oh, the important thing is that you are home." said papa.

"Your siblings are already at the table, get dressed," said mama and continued to fan the charcoal.

"Ate," I called and reached for the brown envelope.

"Salamt, youngest," he said and took the envelope in my hand.

I went straight to my room and changed into my house clothes. I also ate dinner, my family and I talked about our studies.

It was past eight o'clock when I opened my social media accounts. I first opened the messenger and remembered what Ysabelle had said.

Javier Paine created the group.

Javier added Clara Carter, Ysabelle Page, Azalea Suliman, and Daphne Ellis to the group.

Javier Paine named the group 'SAMAHAN NG MGA BOBONG INIWAN'.
