"Hugo Brice Lewis, class representative of Echo. Miss Corpuz talked to me before she left, she said that we will have a lot of free time because almost all of the teachers are not interested in teaching us."

"Any questions?" Sinuri niya kaming lahat.

"In our welcoming week, do we need to use our uniforms? Our uniforms are too plain for a top university." Twilla clicked her tongue and looked disappointed in her uniform. Kahit rin naman ako malungkot nang makita ang uniform namin.

"It is also hard to distinguish which class we belong to." Pahabol ni Twilla. May point naman siya.

"No, we don't need to wear our uniform. You are all free to use any attire you like." Brice answered.

"Kelan tayo mag meeting for the class expectations, goals or any concerns or something." Blanca asked.

"Let's all talk on friday, make sure to think of something. We'll also decide what we need for our food stall." Brice answered.

"Isn't it still too early to plan our food stall on Friday?" Nagsalita si Graig kaya napatingin kaming lahat. He have a point though, baka hindi namin mapag-isipan ng maayos.

"No, It is better to be early. And I know you're thinking about the factor that might affect us. That's why we will only choose a food product on Friday and a concept for our store, nothing else. The place for our stall is still open for suggestions." Brice answered and again may point siya.

"On Tuesday, while we are roaming around our campus. We will use that as an opportunity to know what path the students usually take and where they go to rest." Dagdag niya.

"Any questions?" tanong niya sa lahat. Well, I'll ask to him na lang kapag may naisip na ko.

"Don't look at me as if you'll wait for me in the entrance and murder me. I also don't like to be a representative." After niyang mag salita ay bumalik na siya sa pwesto niya at umupo ng tahimik.

Pinanood ko ang mga kaibigan ko na seryosong nakinig kanina. Nakita ko rin ang mga boys na nag-iisip kanina. Ayaw nila kay Brice pero mukhang nakikinig parin naman sila. Bakit ayaw samin ng faculty kung responsable rin lahat ng studyante dito?

Siguro hindi lahat pero marunong naman silang rumespeto. Tumahimik sila kanina at nakinig ng maigi. Enough na yun para ipakita na kaya nilang makinig kahit sa ibang tao. Pero bakit ayaw parin nila kay Brice?

"Class rep, okay lang bang magsalita ako sa harap ng klase or ikaw na lang?" tanong ni Deborah sa kanya. Bakit anong meron?

"What is it for?" Tanong ni Brice.

Nakipag bulungan si Deborah kay Brice at kitang kita ko yung excitement sa mukha ni Deborah. Si Brice naman halos magkasalubong na dalawang kilay niya. He stood up and went in the front once again.

"Deborah asked me if you all want to have a group chat on Instagram." Brice asked kahit parang ayaw pa niya.

"Okay"

"I'm in"

"Just follow me"

"Count me in"

"No problem"

Nag simula ng mag bigayan ng account mga kaklase ko. I heard them whispering to each other and admiring the pictures they saw in each other's account.

"Brice, what's your account?" Blanca asked

"Uhm... I don't have an account." Brice looked away, mukhang nahiya sa sagot niya. Alam ko namang walang mali pero nakakagulat lang na wala siya non.
