"PREPARATION"

Chapter 15: "PREPARATION"

TJ's POV:

It's the day, the day when Paul was born, yeah so Pauls' birthday is literally today. I woke up earlier and went to school earlier without Paul noticing, I also didn't wake him up today, I was about to go to the Classroom but I've remembered that I have some recruitments that has to be done this morning.

Instead of going straight to our Room I immediately went to the Court Hall instead, Kristine wasn't there yet and so was Cyndi they've told me that they're going to watch the try out 'cause they didn't want to join, but both of them aren't there yet, are they late or am I just too early today?

Only the school Janitors are there and some students who's in charge for the preparations for the try out, well the School Court Hall is actually Huge and I can't blame Mrs. Baltazar if she wants to do the try out here because it's freaking hot outside when noon comes.

"Hey TJ!!!", Kristene shouted while she entered the door.

"You're late", I responded and her face was like 'NO GOOD MORNING?'

"Seriously no Good mornight greetings?", she said while approaching me, so yeah I knew it from her glares 'cause she really likes greeting someone.

"Why should I greet you you're late", I said.

I'm actually joking and totally holding my laugh deep inside my mouth 'cause believe me when I say that Kristines' face was so hilarious the moment I told her that she's late.

"You're just early Ms. Bossy pants, by the way where's Cyndi she's not here yet?", She replied while calming herself down.

"Well as far as I've saw, Cyndi's not here yet maybe she's at the Classroom", I said.

"Should we check? It's still early, the try out's going to begin after 2 hours", She said then she put down her sports bag on our bench.

Though as far as I know she's not joining the Try Outs but why did she bring her sports bag.

After some minute we went directly to our classroom to check if Cyndi's really there, but the moment that we've arrived she isn't there.

"She's not there so maybe she's late?", Kristine said after we've checked the Classroom and Cyndi wasn't there.

"Maybe she's at the court arriving right now so let's hurry", I said then we were about to pass through our Room when we heard something, a voice that caused us to stop.

"You better prove your worth or else you'll be useless!!!", a woman yelled.

We didn't look inside that room that's why we can't recognize there looks, it's invading privacy if we do that.

"Let's look closer", Kristine said then she moved forward to identify who was it but I prevent her by holding her wrisk.

"No don't do that", I quietly said.

"I'm just going to look", she released her wrisk from my grip then moved forward.

There's nothing I can do to stop that woman so I just followed her and we hid ourselves on the backside of the door.

"I'm doing my best but I just can't", a girl said while crying but this time it's a different voice.

"You can't? or you just don't want to?", the woman said while scolding the girl.

We looked much closer to identify there faces and I saw the girl crying and that's also the girl who I fought yesterday, a bully being scolded?

"How can I win when she's good at it!!!", the girl responded while still crying.

"You're going to win or you're going to accept that you're a loser?!", the woman yelled.

"Is that Mrs. Perez?", Kristene said after she identified the womans' identity.

"The Math Teacher?", I replied.

"Mrs. Perez indeed", we equally said.

"I can't be the loser I always get the attentions that I want!!", the girl yelled while still crying.

"Then win that Try Out and prove to me that you're worthy for our Family", the woman said which we identified for being Mrs. Perez.

The girl wiped her tears from her cheeks then left the room like nothing happen, we hid ourselves to prevent them from finding us and luckily they didn't saw us.

After that girl left Mrs. Perez was the one who left next. After they both left, me and Kristene immediately went directly to the Court Hall.

The moment we've arrived there our prediction was right, Cyndi was there already and some students are also there too, we also saw the girl who's with Mrs. Perez inside the Court Hall.

I don't know what's the issue going on between Mrs. Perez and that girl, but as far as I've heard Mrs. Perez earlier she mentioned our Try Out today and also she mentioned the words "Prove to me that you're worthy for our Family".

So if my Doubt prediction is right both of them are Family and I just need a strong alibi to confirm my deduction.

"Are you waiting here for to long?", I asked while approaching Cyndi.

"I've just arrived", she answered naturally.

I guess Cyndi's getting use to her new environment inside our Campus.

*whistled*

Mrs. Baltazar suddenly whistle and I started approaching her in the front then Kristine and Cyndi sat down in the side bench of the Court.

"All those late students you can all go back to your perspective class!", Ma'am shouted then the late comers didn't continue there step while entering the Court Hall Door and left.

"The Try Out is going to begin this today, this hour, this minute, and specially this second all of those who wants to Try Out form your line now!!!", Ma'am shouted while blowing her whistle.

Those students who wants to try out was divided into two sections, every section has 2 teams and every team has there own handler.

Unluckily the bully girl yesterday slash the girl who cried earlier is on my Team to handle, how unlucky right?

Mrs. Baltazar left us with the responsibilities 'cause she has some Faculty meetings to attend, and all the handler of every team is in charge.

"So girl we're going to do some warm up before we start our Try Out session", I said and they immediately obey what I've said but the bully girl did her warm up while staring at me with her deadly glares.

The first thing that I tested them was their Stabilities, I threw the Volleyball in there chest one by one until minutes passed and I've been throwing the Ball harder on their chest to make their Stabilities stable.

We've continue that for more than half an hour and we proceed to the usual thing we're always doing, I tossed the ball and serve it on the defendant and they have to defend it so the ball doesn't hit the ground, we did it until we've reach the end of the defendants line.

The girl who cried earlier slash the bully girl yesterday was at the back of the line, after tossing the ball to her she defend it properly and our game was like my first game with Iñigo the what so called "Tournament".

"TJ!!!"

"TJ!!!"

"TJ!!!"

"TJ!!!"



"TJ!!!"

All the students keep on shouting my name, while I'm playing the game with the bully girl, I felt uncomfortable because so many attentions are focused on every move I do.

I feel guilty for some reason 'cause I can see the anger of my opponent in her eyes, that's when I remembered Mrs. Perez said to her that she better prove her worth to their family.

I think her family is pressuring her and has a lot of expectations in her, maybe that's also the reason why she's so arrogant towards Cyndi that day we've fought.

"Are you okay?", I asked after our game, maybe she's not.

"What a stupid question", she replied while glaring at me, is she really that mad at me?

After some hours of Try Out Mrs. Baltazar told us to pick some Top 10 in our Team that who will continue to the next Try Out Session, I picked the Top 10 in my Team then I told them to go home and be back tomorrow.

"How's the handling Tiffany Jane?", Kristene said while approaching me.

"Hard but fine", I sparingly answered.

"Let's go?", Kristene said.

"You two can go ahead I need to go home Pauls' party is tonight remember?", I inserted.

"Ohh yeah maybe I should go also I needed to prepare", Kristene replied.

"Cyndi you want to come? You're also invited since you're joining us everyday", I said while handing out the invitation card to Cyndi.

"No thank you, we also have some gatherings tonight", she said.

All of us bid goodbye and went home to prepare, but before I went home I reminded Kian and Iñigo about the party alongside with Asher and Theo.

I've arrived home safely when I say some caterers preparing for tonights' pool party and the birthday boy isn't here yet maybe he's still at school doing his own business and stuff.

"Mom is dad coming?", I asked while mom's doing something in the kitchen.

Well I know Mom, she literally likes making foods everytime an occasion is being held in our house, so I can't understand why does she have to cook so many but she still hired some caterers gosh Mom.

"He promised he'll be here for your brothers' special day and in fact he'll arrived later", Mom replied while smiling, well she's in a good mood.

"I thought he's busy with his business trip?", I asked.

"He cancelled some of it for todays' event", Mom replied while continuing mixing her recipe.

"Is the pool area ready?", I asked again.

"The balloons are being decorated around the pool area while some of our helpers are decorating the guests' area where they can enjoy", Mom replied.

"Okay Mom!!! l'll be at my room when you needed some help, I just need to prepare something", I shouted while running upstairs.

Well as of now everything is all set, and our family is complete once Dad arrives later I'm sure Paul's going to be happy about this and I hope nothing goes wrong.

I'm going to prepare my gifts for Paul and prepare what I'm going to wear later, maybe I'll wear some sleeveless shirt and some shorts also 'cause why not it's a pool party anyways, I also texted everyone I invited about the theme of the party and I told them that it's an a formal dress attire, so a sleeveless shirt and shorts will do.

I went down stairs to check the pool area and I'm impressed the helpers really did a great job setting up all of this decorations from the pool and tables, indeed attractive, so this is it the party's going to be fun!!!
