Dinala kami ni Ms. Ginalyn sa room assigned for our class, medyo naguguluhan kung bakit dito but also relief washed over us dahil this only means na we don't need to move around too much.

I feel sticky from all the sweat galing sa pagtakbo takbo namin, it feels like ang baho ko na din, wala naman akong super powers na medyo masakit sa ilong but still hindi na fresh yung aura ko. Medyo may bahid na ng asim and amoy pawis.

I want to take a bath so bad, and imagine pa kung ano na yung nararamdaman ni Mich right at this moment knowing how much she hates being so "dugyot".

"You 7 must be wondering why I brought you here after making you do all those running. So far lahat naman ng pinapagawa ko sa inyo has its purpose. This can help you grow and be stronger more than you all know and syempre may dahilan din ito.

You may not understand it now pero a day will come where you will realize that all you did for the past 2 class are not a waste of time and energy. Anyways to make it short, we are preparing you 7 into something that you can never imagine." Mahabang litanya ni Ms. Ginalyn, hind ko maunawaan yung part na to make it short niya. Ito na ba yung part na I could never imagine? Medyo malabo pa ang pagkakaintindi ko sa kaniya eh .

Ngayon palang napapaisip na ako, is it really something unimaginable? Even with a brain like mine?

"Whatever information na ibibigay sa inyo, make sure na it won't be leaked on any way possible. It will be revealed in this room and it will stay in this room, am I understood?" she looked at us dead in the eyes.

We were forced to nod our heads since using words is kind of difficult as of the moment.

"On our next class you all will need to wake up at 3am in the morning, gather in this very room and wait for further instructions. " Ms. Ginalyn the sit down since kanina oa siya nakatayo sa haba ng litanya niya.

"Uhm ma'am are we to bring ourselves only?" Mich ask with confusion still on her face.

"Yes, walang unnecessary things na kailangan dalhin." Parang hinintay pa ni Miss if may magtatanong pa.

Nung nakita niya na wala na kaming ibang sasabihin ay she dismissed us and after she left our room sumalampak na kami sa mga upuan namin dala ng pagod.

"Sino namang baliw ang magi-initiate ng field trip at 3 freaking am in the morning?" tanong ko more to myself but looks like ay narinig din nila so they grunt in agreement.

"Is this the part where ibebenta na nila tayo?" I look at Kris and almost said to her na uy same ganan din naisip ko.

"Tss I'll go ahead, looks like you prefer staying here and stink." like always may bahid na naman ng pang aalipusta sa mga tingin niya, ang again I received a glare from him!

"What did I do this time?" I said with a exasperated sigh, this time for sure more to myself.

Sumunod na din kami kay Felix a little after, I found out na Mich and Mary are both sa 4th floor and Kris sa 2nd floor while Benj ay sa 4th floor din leaving Lorenzo Aries and Felix and me sa 3rd floor pero sa East wing pala sila.

"Kaya pala we often see you!" tatango tango si Lorenzo as I wave at them goodbye and made my way sa west wing.

Naupo ako sa sahig dahil ayoko namang kumapit yung pawis ko sa higaan ko or sa upuan ko, no way! Again, I spent half an hour scrubbing all the stickiness and kaasiman away.

Fresh ulit akong lumabas ng kwarto ko and made sure na fresh din ang amoy ko, mahirap naman kung ganda lang ang meron ako pero hindi ko naman kaya alagaan ang hygiene ko 'no. Before 6 ay naglalakad na ako and I was shock to see Lorenzo sa may stairs as if waiting for someone.

Probably Mich, I thought.

"Uy finally you're here!" parang eng eng naman akong napaturo sa sarili ko and luminga linga pa sa paligid after sabihin yun ni Lorenzo.

Ako lang andito ah, so ako nga hinintay ng 4 eyes na 'to? Suot niya parin kasi yung bilog niyang glasses na wala namang grado. Ano yan feeling nerdy and harry potter ganun?

"Oo ikaw nga, let's go baka maligaw ka pa ulit." He chuckled and minuwestra niya na yung hagdan as if saying na lakad na din ako.

I squint my eyes at him, tapos luminga linga ulit ako sa paligid, checking if may camera dito somewhere na kinukunan 'tong pangyayari na 'to and watching my reaction. I have a freaking trust issues, and it's telling me na this is all a prank.

"HAHAHHA relax girl, kumalma ka nga kasi this is not a prank. I remembered na we're from the same floor and you don't have a sense of direction, so being the gentleman that I am, nag-initiate na ako to help you not to get lost!" He puff his chest and put a hand on it as if saying na sobrang reliable niya, I squint my eyes at him, tiningnan ko din siya mula paa hanggang ulo, walang pagbabago mukha parin siya paa charizz HAHHAHAHA.

"Okayyy, thanks I guess." I just shrug pero my guard is still up.

"Let's go, baka andun na si Felix and waiting for me or something." napatango nalang din ako pero halfway ng hagdan narinig namin si Mary calling out our names.

"Althea! Aries! Wait for us!" Paglingon namin sa likod, there at the top of the stairs ng 4th floor ay si Mary with Felix beside her. Mary have this bright smile to her face in contrast sa bored look na meron si Felix.

I smiled at Mary and wait for them, ganun din naman si Lorenzo na nakangiti na ng malaki kay Felix and Mary, I can see na he wanted to tease his friend pero pinipigilan niya dahil andito nga din si Mary.

"Wow buti naman nakasabay ka namin!" Mary looks glad na nakita niya ako.

"Lorenzo said na sasamahan niya ako, buti nalang he was waiting by the stairs." I shot Lorenzo a look of silent thank you ko, ewan ko lang kung na-gets niya hehe. He just winked at me and I rolled my eyes at him pero Mary just chuckled at us.

"Well Felix was nice enough to wait for me too!" she smile at the said boy who by the way is looking bored again but nod at Mary.

Syempre nag-iistoryahan na ulit ang mag bff, and Mary and I enjoy the quiet time we have while walking at paminsan minsan lang kami kung magsalita pero mukha namang okay lang sa kaniya.

The dinner went fast, mukha we all don't much have an appetite, too scared and excited for what tomorrow may bring. I can't help but let out a sigh, I just hope it's nothing too extreme.
