Adit's mom is preparing for his birthday. Wearing a red shirt and jeggings. By most people around her she is often called Mrs. Amparo. She is making buko salad, since they have alot of buko near their resort. She glanced at the pool and saw that it's a bit mossy so she then called for her son:
"Adit where are you?" Not hearing a response she shouted again. She heard nothing again. Now getting tired from yelling she took her phone from the counter and started to type, texting his son to go down from his room.

In his room wearing his basketball shorts and a plain sando. Adit was lying on his bed, playing in his phone with earplugs on his ears. He is still playing on his phone. Then he realized that his phone is lagging. Feeling frustrated, he already knows what this means, his mom is texting him.
"Really mom?" Adit thought to himself.
Then the text messages came on, on his screen. Still ignoring it, until his screen became so laggy he couldn't play anymore. He reluctantly closed his game and opened his messages. There are already 16 unseen messages on his phone. He clicked on one and read it:
"Adit, come down here there is something I want to tell you."
Reading the message he noticed that the other messages were just the same as the first one. Then more messages have come appearing on his screen. With this, he hesitantly got off on his bed, put on his slippers and went out of his room.

He made his way to their kitchen where his mom is cooking. Her mom noticed him and started up a conversation... Or more of a chore.
"Adit will you clean up the pool before your friends arrive honey?" Mrs. Amparo told Adit.
"Sure." He simply answered.
After accepting the chore, Adit got out of the kitchen and is now making his way onto the pool. While walking there he can see how big their resort is. The grill area is right up close to the pool, there is no one in the resort other than him and his mom. A lot of lights dangling from the cottage houses, the colorful pathways making the resort eye-catching for the visitors. Trees can be seen everywhere, showing how secluded their resort is."Mom probably chose this spot because it's very well hidden. And she loves her privacy." He thought to himself. When he is looking at his surroundings he saw something strange protruding and disturbing the color green of the environment. It's a large tree that's right behind their resort. Its reaching up to 50 feet, vines extending itself onto the ground. This is not what makes it stand out, the red color is what makes it unique. Every part of the tree is red. From the branches to the leaves. Still walking to the pool he thought:
"I wonder if the tree was moved here, because I could've sworn that was not here when they were building the resort". After talking to himself, he looked for a mop in the shed that's behind the pool. He arrived at the shed and seeing that it's locked. Noticing the lock he headed straight for the side window of the shed. He pushed it upwards, making the right size for him to fit in. He cautiously, climbed through the window avoiding the rusty nail beside it. He got in, and started to rummage through the tools and equipment. It contained pruning shears, a wheel barrow, rakes, spades, hoses and trowels. A can of gasoline, and boxes of matches right beside it. "That doesn't look dangerous at all" He said sarcastically. It took him a solid minute to find the mop but he eventually did. After finding the mop, he went out of the shed through the window again, still trying not to hurt himself with the nails. He went towards the pool again and started to mop the dirty Moss off of the tiles beside the pool.
