“Bakit ba kailangan nating mag-aral kung mamamatay din naman tayo?”

I sighed habang hawak-hawak ang mga textbooks ko dahil may quiz kami bukas. I'm so sick and tired of this already. Pagkatapos nito, may bagong schoolworks na naman. Hay, unlimited.

Death please come and take me! Alam ko naman na nasa gilid kalang nakamasid waiting for the right moment pero pwede mo namang pakibilisan. Earth is already fucking me!

Spoiler alert we're just going to die. What's the point of everything? I always ask that question over and over again.

“Oo nga no. Tara punta tayo sa Saint Peter bili tayo ng kabaong!” Gabriel suggested.

Napaka-supportive naman ang sarap ihagis sa ibang dimension, well that's Peyton Gabriel Forester. He's the happy-go-lucky guy in our squad. Hindi siya kill joy, sabay sa lahat ng trip. He has hazel brown eyes, it's brown just like the earth and whenever I look into his eyes it made me feel like there's a lot of hidden treasures underneath it.

“Sama ako! Gusto ko ang kulay ng kabaong ko black and pink,” Victor said while raising his hand. Fanboy ng Blackpink at minsan tinatawag na bakla but if you cross the line he will break your bones, bury you alive and make sure that you'll never see the light of day.

I can say that he's annoying sometimes because he always play Kpop music, he's Victor Azriel Martin. A guy with a very messy hair just like a caveman, a handsome caveman.

“Az, bakla! Tumahimik ka nga, anong black at pink na kabaong ang pangit nun!” sabi ni Gabriel.

Azriel is about to punch Gabriel in the face but I stopped them. Ayokong mapunta sa principal's office kasama silang dalawa, baka masira yung office tapos kami pa ang magbabayad sa mga damages. Well they're rich kids anyway.

“Bakit lahat kayo may dalang textbooks? May exam ba bukas?” tanong ni Nathaniel, siguro natulog na naman siya habang nag le-lecture ang professor namin.

He's your typical gamer boy na palaging gising sa gabi, sometimes we call him Dracula pero alam n'yo kung anong nakakainis? Most of the time he gets the highest score among the five of us kahit hindi naman siya nakikinig sa mga professor, he's Nathaniel Peirce Segovia.

How I wish I have that kind of brain.

“Uy, Natyong! Natulog kana naman, bukas may short quiz tayo sa math at iba pang subjects!” sabi ko habang pinapalo siya ng libro.

“Aray! Lestia, ang sakit itigil mo na yan!” sabi ni Nathaniel.

“Ano bang sekreto mo? Ba't ikaw yung palaging may malaking score ha?” sabi ko habang hinahampas ko pa rin siya gamit ang mga textbooks.

“You're just jealous because my score is still high even when I don't study! Kaya itigil mo na!” sigaw ni Nathaniel. He's not even answering my questions.

I stopped and pinched his nose. I wish Lara wasn't absent today, she will surely don't want to miss the opportunity of beating up Nathaniel.

“Celestia Luna Ven Valderrama!”

I really hate that my name is too long! I'm going to blame my parents for this. My close friends usually call me Lestia but I hate it. Azriel calls me Heneral Luna when I act all bossy and he gets annoyed. Bakit Heneral Luna? Hindi ko rin alam.

“Hey! Don't say my full name, ang haba,” I uttered while glaring at him.

“Pero alam mo kung anong mas mahaba?” sabi ni Azriel then he smirked. Oh, right he's the green one in our squad or maybe I'm the green one.
