More than a month left before the current school year ended, all the students and teachers were busy with their role in completion of grades, requirements and also about the preparation of the graduation ceremony. The brass band of the school along with the Music Club were preparing for their part in the ceremony. The third year students were busy with their university and college examination.
Also, this was the time where more issues and problems arising. The final phase always filled with failures and situation which led to trouble especially if you got labeled as The Troublemaker.
"Avery! Avery! Avery! Pree!!!" Hindi magkamayaw si Jack a pagtawag kay Avery na kasalukuyang nakadungaw sa bintana ng classroom nila.
"Ano naman iyon?!!!" Avery turned to face him.
"Si... Si..." hinahapo niyang sambit.
"Sige. Simulan mo ulit sa paghapo mo, may sapak ka na talaga sa akin," pagbabanta niya kaya napaatras si Jack habang nakasangga ang kamay.
"Teka! Sandali kasi..." sagot ni Jack. "Nakita ko kasi si Ms. Reina." pagbibigay-alam niya.
"Malamang. We're at the school, idiot," sagot ni Glenn nakasalukuyang sumisimsim mula sa cartoned juice.
"At kasalukuyan siyang nakasuot ng P.E. uniform," sagot niya na nagpagulat sa dalawang kausap niya.
Glenn suddenly loosed grip of the his carton of juice and it fell down in the floor. Avery's hand slipped in his hold to the windows frame. They both seemed shocked on what Jack announced.
"Seriously?" mariing tanong ni Avery sa kanya habang hawak ang magkabilang balikat niya.
"Y-Yes..."
"You mean the short shorts thing." sambit ni Glenn.
"Y-Yes... bloomers, to be exact."
"The short fitted shorts and fitted t-shirt?" tanong ni Avery at napatango na lang si Jack.
"Bakit ba? Para kayong mga... halimaw na gutom—" Naputol ang sasabihin niya ng biglang nawala harapan niya ang dalawang lalaking iyon.
He looked around and saw those two that already outside the room. He just gritted his teeth before following those two.
"Jack, saan mo nakita? Sa gym?" tanong ni Avery.
"Oo, napadaan kasi ako nang papunta akong cafeteria," sagot ni Jack bago sila nagsimulang maglakad.
"Naisip ko rin. Hindi pala tayo gumamit ng gym earlier P.E. period kaya hindi natin sila nakasalubong," Glenn stated and they all nodded.
"Nga pala..." Napatingin sina Avery at Glenn kay Jack. "Gustong gusto niyo pa lang makita si Ms. Reina na naka-P.E. uniform. Avery, hindi ka ba maiinis? Pagnanasahan ni Glenn iyong girl—" Hindi na niya natapos ang sasabihin niya nang bigla siyang kinutusan ni Avery.
"She's. Not. My. Girlfriend." Avery corrected before blowing his fist.
"Well! Hindi naman si Ms. Reina ang pupuntahan namin. There are more beautiful ladies in their section. Let's say, Samantha and her group. Pero... sige, si Ms. Reina pa rin iyong first reason," paliwanag ni Glenn.
They were about to descend in the first floor when they met Ma'am Gwen in the stairs. Avery immediately hid behind the nearby plant but the two was already seen by Ma'am Gwen.
"Saan kayo pupuntang dalawa?" tanong ni Ma'am Gwen sa dalawa.
"Si Avery po—" Napahinto silang dalawa ng wala na si Avery sa tabi nila.
"What?" tanong ni Ma'am Gwen at napatawa na lang ang dalawa.
"We're going to the gym..." Jack said.
"Sa cafeteria po." Glenn simultaneously said so they looked at each other.
