24. LADY FROM THE SOUTH

LADY FROM THE SOUTH.

THIRD 

The opening sound of the trumpets was heard meters away from the school. It was almost 8 a.m. The sun is up and so are the people waiting for the second-day opening of the Yamakura Hayashi High School Festival. The bus finally stopped. Jurien and Aleah peeked outside the window and saw the crowd from afar who are patient to get inside the prestigious event.

Bakas sa mukha ni Aleah ang pagkamangha sa nasilayang bilang ng tao. "Wow!" she exclaimed.

Jurien simply shrugged her shoulders before sitting back. "I mean, it's the Yamakura Hayashi High." aniya sabay kuha sa kanyang bag na nasa harapan ng kanyang upuan. "And I heard that today is the start of their free pass kaya of course haha madami ang dadalo."

Daez looked at the people outside. She wanted to skip the event but out of nowhere Mrs. Prenci, the Avilla High Principal called them out and gave them a task to write and report their experiences from the School Festival. For Daez it was unnecessary, but according to Mrs. Prenci, it was significant for a certain study she was conducting.

Tumayo na ang tatlo at inayos muna ang sarili bago magpaalam sa driver ng bus na siyang naghatid din sa kanila kahapon. After they stepped out the bus they immediately feel the uplifting ambiance of the surroundings. Sinamahan pa ng ingay ng mga trumpet na nahahalo sa ingay na nagmula sa mga taong naghihintay sa labas. Karamihan sa mga ito ay estudyante mula sa iba't-ibang paaralan base sa mga suot nitong uniporme. Bakas sa mga pagmumukha ng nakararami ang pagkailang dahil na din sa oras nilang nakatayo at sa kagat ng sikat ng araw.

The three of them are standing not too far from the crowd. Feeling more comfortable wearing their uniform with Avilla's logo. Daez wanders her eyes in the surrounding, from the gate to the walls of the school.

Jurien blew some air out after she looked at her friends' faces. "Feels more comfortable wearing our uniforms eh?"

"Mmh."

"Yup!" Aleah and Daez answered in chorus.

The crowd went crazy when they see the three guys approaching in front of them inside the gate. Nagtaka naman ang tatlo sa ingay na nangyari.

"Ano 'yon?" takang tanong ni Jurien sa dalawa.

Aleah squinted her eyes behind the crowd to see the people who causes the disturbance. She lean back after seeing the three students inside. "I think they will open the gate na."

"Oh, finally." Jurien simply replied.

. . .

Yoshida, Rio, and Baku are now standing in front of the crowd facing the people with a welcoming expression. They are wearing their school uniforms now unlike yesterday, along with their Yamakura Hayashi High red armbands that symbolize their position in the school. They saw how Yoshida raised his hand which indicates silence. The crowd was immediately silence after that.

With the straight posture and strong sense around him, he speaks. "We, the Yamakura Hayashi High officials officially welcome you all in our second day of the Yamakura Hayashi High School Festival." malakas sa pagkabigkas ng lalaking nasa gitna na si Yoshida. Naghiyawan naman ang iilan sa sinabi niya saka natahimik na din agad.

The two other guys then opened the big gate revealing the anticipated people who are eager to enter the school. Pagkatapos buksan nila Rio at Baku ang malaking tarangkahan ay naglakad ang mga ito patungo sa kabilang gilid. "We are very strict when it comes to the safety of our students, guests, and visitors. You might notice the guards in every corner, it is necessary. Any kinds of inappropriate actions are prohibited and those who will not obey will be punished." seryosong pahayag ng binata sa mga nakaabang.
