Sa kasalukuyan, natapos din nalibot ng magkaibigan at napag-isipan na kumain lang muna sa cafeteria.

"Ang dami ko pa palang hindi alam tungkol sayo Nev. Hindi ko man lang alam na hobby mo pala ang mga baril." Si Sam habang hinahanda ang cup noodles na nabili niya.

Nevada softly chuckled and stop from playing with her phone. "And you don't wanna know." Nevada said without showing any emotions.

Sam was just confused and continue preparing her food. "I also wanna know about you Sam." Nevada said without shifting her attention from her phone.

"There's nothing interesting about me tho." She responded. Napalingon si Nevada sa kanya.

"Well, I'm interested." Si Nevada na nakangiti lang sa kanya.

"Since day-off naman natin ngayon sa Cafe why don't we go to my place at para naman makapagreview na din tayo?" Agad lumiwanag ang mukha Nevada and grab Sam's hand out of nowhere.

"Ikuzō!" /Let's go!/ Nevada exlaimed due to her excitement. Biglang binawi ni Sam ang kamay nito at pinigilan si Nevada.

"Baka nakalimutan mo may meeting kayo sa club na sinalihan mo kanina at isa pa, hindi pa naman tapos class time." Si Sam at pinagpatuloy ang pagkain sa cup noodles.

"Eat your food Nevada." Utos ni Sam. Sinunod naman ni Nevada ang utos ni Sam at agad din nilapa ang sandwich na nabili nito.

"You're right, I almost forgot about the meet—"

"Jusmeyo! lunukin mo muna yang kinakain mo para kang kambing d'yan kong magsalita." Napatakip lang si Nevada sa bibig nito habang mahinang tumatawa.

"Done!" Si Nevada. Hindi nabigla si Sam ugali ni Nevada kahit makulit mabait naman.

"So as I was s—"

"Let's go!" Agad na tumayo si Sam mula sa upuan at hinila ang braso ng kaibigan pero hindi man lang tumayo o gumalaw sa kina-uupuan si Nevada kaya napalingon si Sam.

Nakasimangot lang ito at mataimtim nakatingin kay Sam. "Why would you let me finish?" Si Nevada na naka pout na parang batang inagawan ng lollipop.

"Quit it Nav! It's almost 1:00 may meeting ka pa." Si Sam na pinipigalan ang sarili na hindi matawa.

"Tsk." Binawi ni Nevada ang kanyang braso uma-akto na para bang nagtatampo.

"Tumayo kana d'yan at para matapos na tayo para maaga tayo makapunta sa amin."

-I know this excite her up.

Walang isang minuto nakatayo na ito at nagsimulang magkalakad papalayo kay Sam. Nabigla naman si Sam sa ginawa ni Nevada at napahinto sa kinatatayuan nito.

"Let's go! I still have to visit your place!" Nevada shouted.

Ngumiti nalang si Sam at patakbong humabol kay Nevada.

"Okay guys, Be nice to our new firing club member Ms. Nevada Alcazar." Nagbow si Nevada sa harap nila.

Si Nevada lang ang nandito habang si Sam ay nag o-organize din sa club nila. Napagdesisyonan nila na magkita sa cafeteria after sa meeting nila.

"So, Nevada since you're new here. The firing club is planning to join the sport fest competition and we have to choose one representative." Si Travis na nasa harap bitbit ang papel.

"Who would that be?" Si Nevada na para bang nababagot sa meeting.

"All the members have agreed that you'll be the one who's representing our school for gun firing sports." Napalingon ang lahat ng studyante sa loob ng faculty room ni Nevada.

"But we still have to wait for your respond. Next week will be our sport fest and you're representing the school for gun firing sector, are you in?" Si Travis na naghihintay sa sagot ni Nevada. Nakatingin lang sa strategic plans na ibinigay ni Travis sa kanya.

"I'll be competing other school right like district meet?" Nevada asked.

Tumango lang si Travis bilang pagtugon. "But the twist is, it's not just 45 pistol you'll be using. On this competition, the District Board members have come up with an idea to have 3 categories." Taimtim lang na nakikinig ang iba habang si Nevada ay nakataas lang ang kilay na para bang curious sa sinabi ni Travis.

"3 categories?" Ulit ni Nevada.

"Yes, The easy, intermediate and difficult level. The 1st category, you'll have to use pistol to hit high score." Agad na nag sulat sa white board si Travis habang nag e explain sa lahat ng members.

"2nd category will be Rifle which to be exact M16, You know how to use M16 right?" Si Travis na mabilis nilingon si Nevada. Hindi na sumagot si Nevada at nakatitig lang sa white board kay nagpataloy sa pag d-discuss si Travis.

"3rd category will be Sniper. I still don't know specifically but you'll be using sniper. On each category the distance/range will expand. The higher level you reach, the  far of range will expand." Napatango-tango lang si Nevada at sinusubukan e absorb ang lahat ng sinabi ni Travis.

"Sokka." /I see./ Nevada said while rubbing her chin and lips softly like as if she's thinking of something.

"I'm In." She said. Agad naman nagsitayuan ang lahat maliban kay Nevada at masayang pinasalamatan si Nevada.

"Okay, meeting dismissed."  Isa-isa naglabasan ang mga club members hanggang sa sina Nevada at Travis nalang yung natira faculty room.

"You know what Nevada, you really save the club." Napalingon si Nevada kay Travis na Umupo katabi nito.

"Naze? I- I mean why?" Travis chuckled softly.

"Wala pa talaga kaming napili para mag representa sa club natin, kaya abalang-abala ako sa p-practice para naman kung wala talaga, ako nalang yung sasabak sa kompetisyon. Mabuti nalang sumali ka samin at plus, maranong kapa kaysa samin."

Napatawa si Nevada na ikinabigla ni Travis. "Bumuo kayo ng gun firing club pero ni isa sa inyo hindi bihasa nito." Si Mevada na para bang inaasar si Travis.

Tumawa nalang din si Travis at may inilahad na papel. "Request form mismo sa mga Board members dito sa school na bumuo ng ganitong club. Hindi naman talaga ako mahilig sa mga baril eh kaso lang ako yung campus president ,that's why they gave me the responsibility to run this club." This time tinitigan lang ni Nevada ang request form na inilahad sa mesa.

"Why would the Academy allowed a club to run inside of this Academy if no one really knows how to do gun firing?" She asked.

"I don't know either. They even send us a trainor to teach us the basic trainings for gun firing." Even Travis wondered.

"Well, that doesn't change the fact that you save our butts here." He laughed.

"Its a good thing, you chose us. By the way, why are you so good at it?" Travis asked out of nowhere.

Ngumiti lang si Nevada at tinapik ang likod ni Travis sabay tayo sa inuupuan nito. "Naahhh, It just happend that I know such thing." Then she walk through the door.

Nakatitig lang sa Travis sa pinto kung saan lumabas si Nevada. Ngumiti ito na para bang na pukaw ang interest nito sa babae.

You're interesting.
