01 : TYPICAL START

Shane's.

"Owshiee mic drop." Sinamaan ko ng tingin si Whaelan na kanina pa uwu ng uwu sa totoo lang para siyang sirang plaka paulit-uli. Papunta ako ngayon ng school dahil 'yun naman talaga ang dapat hindi ba? I rolled my eyes when I noticed Jade approaching Brie near the school gate. The fact that Brie is bullied on a regular basis makes me sad, but I'm also sick of Jade's attitude. Lagi na lamang ganito. "Hoy, mauntog ka sana."

Siniko ko ang tarantadong si Whaelan matapos akong sigawan sa mismong tainga ko. "Animal ka talaga." Hindi na niya ako sinagot bagkus binelatan n'ya lamang ako bago nag-tatakbo. "Tss, bata." Napalingon naman ako sa nagsalita,"Oyy Eman akala ko-"

"Akala mo lang 'yon." Ni-hindi man lamang s'ya tumingin sa'kin at dirediretsong nag lakad. "E'di wow." Sino nga ba 'ko para kauapin ng isang Emanuel Hudson, ok lang isa lamang naman siyang palamunin ng mga espanol. "Ano be nagd-day dreaming ka na naman bang shutacca." Tapik sa'kin ni Sabrina one of my close friend. "Hindi gaga ma iniisip lang." Sagot ko at patuloy na kaming nag lakad papasok ng gate.

Masyado pa namang maaga kaya napagdesisyunan naming maupo muna malapit sa cafeteria, round table na tinatawag.

"Wohoi, aga mo naman teachers pet."

"Talaga ba Drix? Punyeta ka." Balik kong tugon sa kaniya napakaukit talaga ng taong 'to, "Sisimula na naman kayong mga panget kayo. Masama ko namang tiningnan si Kaito, "Talaga ba tanda?" Nagtawanan sila dahil, totoo naman si Kaito ay dalawang taon na mas matanda sa'kin, siya ang pinaka matanda sa circle of friends namin, sapagkat 'di siya pinalad na mapasama sa graduating line noong nakaraan, sad. Para tuloy akong natauhan sa sinabi ko, watch your mouth Shane stupid.

"Hoy may natanggap akong love letter mainggit kayo." Napa awang naman si Xhyna "Bitch sino namang bulag ang makakagusto sa'yo?" Pangungutya niya kay Whaelan na kakarating lang bitbit ang isang sobre na paniguradong naglalaman ng sulat.

"Buksan mo na gago."

"Language Amanda." Napatahimik naman ang kawawang si Amanda habang ang nagsabi nito'y nakangiti. He's Kier. "Wait excited pa kayo sa'kin, e'di sana kayo na ang nag bukas 'di ba masyado kayong desisyon sa buhay ko eh." Iritang sabi ni Whaelan, nagtawanan naman ang mga ito.

"Okay, ehem ehem." He cleared his throat before reading the said letter. "Ayan na 'yan na, Whaelan n'yo pumapagibig, witwiw~~" sipol ni Drix.

"You are invited-"

"HAAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHA." Napuno ng tawanana at napalitan ng pagkadismaya ang mukha ni Whaelan, love letter my foot. "Yikes, akala ko pa naman luma-lovelife ka na." Pangaasar pa ni Kaito rito. "Nginang buhay 'to," singhal niya, at ibinaba ang sulat na akala niya'y love letter, ngunit kinuha naman ito ni Sabrina. "Shut up muna kayo I'm gonna make basa na this." Saglit naman nanahimik ang mga ito habang so Drix at Kaito ay hindi parin tinitigilan so Whaelan.

"You're invited to join our game, wait huh the design is so interesting there's lots of bulaklak here and there it's so cute as totoo la-"

"SAB!"

"Opsie my bad, embi embi. So it says it's a survival game and we're going sure going to enjoy, something interesting here ay may price keme and it's hidden but worth like million daw." Wow that's pretty big ha, "Where did you kuha this kind of sulat ba? It can make bago my buong future eh." Sabrina commented.

"Sasali ka ba?" Tanong no Kier, "Si Whaelan na inakalang love letter 'yan, malamang sasali yan tapos bibili sya ng girlfriend."

"Tangina mo talaga, Kaito huwag ka papahulinng buhay sa'kin." Inis na sabi nito , habang ang duwag na si Kaito ay nasa likod no Kier. "Kier oh papatayin ako," natawa nalang kami. "Hey are you going to join ba?" Tanong ko sa kanya, he looks serious maybe he's also confused where did that letter came from. "Kung maganda ang laro sige why not?"

Wala pang ilang minuto bumuhos ang malakas na hangin halos tangayin na kami. "What the f is that?" Xhyna put her gaze to the sky after a brief pause. It appears to be a helicopter that is dropping something.

A paper?

No.

Invitation. Kinuha ko ang isa napakaraming papel na ihinulog napatingin ako sa paligid napaka dami nila. Ano'ng meron? May nangangampanya ba ngayon at nakaraming imbitasyon ang nag kalat. "Isn't this too much?" Napatingin naman ako kay Marcus na kakadating lamang. "Sino naman kayang mayaman ang maguubos ng pera dito?" Whaelan added. "What do you mean ba na magsasayang e 'di ba, winner lang naman ang makakarecieve ng prize? What if it's a help in disguise para sa mananalo." Yah, Amanda is right walang masasayang kung sa tulong mapupunta ang pera hindi ba?

"It claims that there is no specific number of winners, if five persons win, they will each receive the same amount of the prize." "When's the event?" Kier inquires as he observes the pupils becoming increasingly agitated. Xhyna responded, "Eman's birthday."

"Yah! Pa'no naman namin malalaman birhday ni Emannuel?"

"Oo nga sino ba s'ya?"

"It's September 7,"

"Year?

"2003 - hey why are you asking me!" Amanda look a Drix when she realized tha they will start an interrogation. "Wala lang, mukhang alam na alam mo e dati ka ba nilang maid?" Drix flinch when Amanda throw a bottle of water "Siraulo." He run behind Kier "Ssob oh look oh mukhang magiging parner in crime pa ata sila ni Whaelan sa pag-patay sa'min ni Kaito." Nagkatinginan naman sina Whaelan at Amanda.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH~"

Mabilis pa sa kabayo ang takbo nila ng habulin sila ni Amanda at Whaelan, Kier laughed at them "Mga inutil, 'di ba nila Alan na parehas champion si Whaelan at Amanda sa 500 meter run." Aniya, malamang ay nahuli na nila ang dalawang busangot kaya lamang ay hindi na naming sila matanaw kung nasaan na sila. Xhyna looked at me and start breaking the silence, "What do you think? It looks fun naman, wala namang mawawala kung sasali tayo hindi ba?"

"I agree, september 5 is our vacation kaya wala tayong po-problemahin all we need to do is to enjoy the game. Manalo o matalo atleast we enjoy 'di ba?"

"Yeah, Marcus is right wala namang mawawala 'di ba?"

"Wala Sab." Kier answered,I remain mute as I consider whether or not to join. "Kapag sumama ka Shane, I'll join too. You look bothered." He added. Wala nga namang masama, saka mag eenjoy pa kami but mas gusto ko mag spend ng time sa bahay during vaca what should I do? "Are you joining ba?"

"Yes," Marcus answered confidently. "Hmm, I'll join too it looks fun." Yeah of course Xhyna can't say no. "Sab is always on the go." She politely answered, as what kier said he'll join if I do, ayoko namang maging Kj kaya sige. Wala namang dapat ipag alala, sana. "Fine, let's join." Sabrina clap her hands tiny. They all smiled at me, yah hehe. Good decision ig?

"YAHHHHHH!" All I heard is Kaito's tiny scream in front of me, hawak s'ya ni Whaelan sa leeg. "Oh ano par, sako na ba natin?" Tanong n'ya kay Amanda. "Huh sako lang? Weak." They both evil laughed while Drix and Kaito's eyes looks they want to go out and give us the "Save me" look. Don't mess with them kasi, tss.

"We're joining." Kier open the conversation. "BAKIT?" Kaito and Drix, escape on the hand of two. They said it in synchronize, "Huh? Why not diba?" Sabrina's conyo answered. "Wala hehe, may masabi lang." Kaito nervously answered. What's wrong with him? "Kayo ba sasali?" Tanong ko, Amanda nod three times as the sign of agreement. "Sige tara."

"Kai? Drix?"

"PAGIISIPAN KO." once again they're synchronized again. Nag appear pa ang dalawang mokong. "Alright, let's go na the class will start."
