Zilong's POV
In the middle of scorching afternoon, we're also having a heated debate. Worst of all, my rival is against me, making the debate more fiery.
By the looks of it, he's only targeting me since the debate began. Almost of our classmates are choosing to stay silent to avoid being thrown heated arguments by the two of us.
"Considerably, you have a point in making human clones. However, it violates numerous ethical considerations. Also, you should consider the state of our country being in a third world country. That's why, cloning humans isn't feasible right now. There are other alternatives when it comes to curing or preventing illnesses." He stated while looking at me like he's mocking me.
"I said in the future. I know our country would not be able to do it this time. But with technological advancements, it is possible to achieve human cloning. Plus, it comes with lots of benefits. It may seem unethical at some aspects, but we should think of the benefits we may get if it ever happens." I retorted.
(Disclaimer: This is a sample argument only. I only thought of the arguments and does not have a solid reference.)
"Point take—"
"Okay, that's enough. I will give the point to the opposition. Do your closing remarks, both of you." Our professor cut him off and gave us a proud look.
"Oops, I won," he mouthed and smirked after.
I sighed in defeat. He always wins against me when it comes to debate, despite the fact that he gets the opposition side. He finds a way to throw back arguments and actually win.
He's just great with this and I am not. I acknowledge that fact, since I only won two times against him and it was a mock debate.
"Huwag ka nang sad, Zizi! Bawi na lang sa susunod. Katakot batuhan niyo ng arguments. Look my nose is bleedening na," Kagura commented and turned to look at her girlfriend.
"Bubba, ang OA po ah. Just kidding. Come here na nga." Hanabi signalled her to come to her after she received a death glare from Kagura.
"Porket nanalo kayo." Nagtampo pa talaga. Ang sakit sa mata.
"Tara na lang sa caf. Nagutom ako sa debate na 'yon." Lunox invited and sighed deeply.
"Nag-opening remarks ka lang naman eh. Nagutom ka non?" Natan teased and he received a slap on his shoulder, which made him laugh even more.
"Paano ba naman makaka-argue pabalik eh kapag may binabato yung isa sa kabila, sasagot naman 'tong isa rito. Kagutom kaya makinig sa kanilang dalawa," paliwanag ni Lunox na may kasama pang pag-arte.
"Sorry naman. Na-carried away lang." I reasoned out.
Nagsimula na kaming maglakad papuntang cafeteria, but I was stopped when Ling blocked my way. Regrettably, he was here again to boast his victory and mock me for my defeat.
"Try to win against me sometimes, yeah?" He said, which made me irritated.
"Ano ba tapos na nga 'di ba? Ano pa bang gusto mo?" Alam kong tuwang-tuwa na naman siyang makitang asar na asar ako ngayon.
"Ang maasar ka." He teasingly said.
I pushed him off and continued to stride off to catch up with my friends. I heard his laughter from behind. Kabingi.
Napansin kong may umbok ang bulsa ko sa uniform kaya kinapa ko kung anong nandon. When I saw it, it was a medicine wrapped inside a paper.
'Inumin mo. Napansin kong kanina ka pa humahawak sa ulo mo. I figured you had a headache' - Your biggest enemy (perhaps admirer)
Baliw talaga. Kung ano na lang talagang masabi eh. I smiled with the thought as I remembered something—I just don't know if it's from my dream or not, but quickly brushed it off when my friends sat down in our table.
"Hoy, ano yan ha?" Tanong ni Natan.
"Wala," sagot ko sa kanya at uminom sa kapeng binili ko kanina.
"Talaga lang ha," Kagura remarked, implying that she is suspicious of something. Lakas talaga ng radar ng babaeng 'to kahit kailan. Kabaligtaran naman ng girlfriend niya na minsan oblivious sa paligid kahit na journalist pa siya.
"Ikaw, ger, magsalita ka naman. Panis na siguro laway mo riyan!" Natan picked on Granger about him being silent.
Well, Granger likes to be silent. He hates it when it's too noisy around or the people are too noisy. Magsasalita lang siya kapag kailangan lang talaga.
"Hayaan mo siya. Pinakaelaman pa talaga si Ger eh." Saway ni Lunox sabay kagat sa banana bread na binili niya.
"Oh edi ikaw na lang."
"Tumigil na nga kayo. Parang mga bata eh." Hanabi scolded them.
"Wag niyong kalimutan later ah. Study group sa bahay nila Zizi," paalala ni Kagura sa amin at tumango naman ang lahat.
"Bili muna tayo ingredients ng food na lulutuin sa bahay para kain tayo after," ani ko sa kanila.
"Okay! Miss ko na rin si Wan! Cute cute talaga ng batang iyon." Lunox stated excitedly.
Not only me, but also my friends adore my little sister so much. She has this unique charm that makes people drawn to her. She's so lovable, indeed.
When the time of class ended, we immediately gathered together para pumuntang bahay. Dumaan muna kami ng grocery to buy snacks and ingredients for the food we'll eat later. Binilhan ko na rin ng needs si Wan para may stock ulit siya sa bahay.
Dumating kami sa bahay at sinalubong kami ni Wan.
"OMG ATE GURA, ATE LUNS, YOU'RE HERE. I MISSED YOU SO MUCH!" Wan ran off towards them, putting a smile on their faces.
"We missed you, too!" Sabay na sabi ng dalawa at pinisil ang cheeks ni Wan.
"Ako Wan, hindi mo miss?" Patampong sabi ni Natan na ikinatuwa naman ng bata.
"Hmmm mga ganito lang po." She made a hand gesture making Natan frown more.
"Joke lang po! Syempre na-miss rin kita pati na rin sila Kuya Ger at Ate Nabs!" She continued and led us to the kitchen.
"Akyat na kayo Kuya. Ako na po magluluto." Wan said and rummaged through the plastic bags we brought.
"No, bebe. Kami na ang magluluto. We shouldn't make you cook, baby ka namin eh." Kagura said. She really loves to pamper this kid.
"Sige po. Don lang muna ako sa sala. Aral lang po kayo tapos tell me if magluluto na po hehe."
We walked upstairs and started our study session. First, we study biology and its concepts. After that, we studied basic calculus. We took a break after and continued for the last subject.
Nagluto na kami pagkatapos naming mag-aral. Andaming baong kwento talaga ng kapatid kong 'to kapag kasama si Luns at Gura. Tuwang-tuwa naman namin silang pinapanood lalo na ni Hana.
Mayroon ding konting kulitan at asaran dahil kay Natan. Hindi mawawala 'yon kapag nandyan siya. Masaya ang gabi naming lahat. Pagtapos ng lahat ay umuwi na rin sila.
"Bye, mga ates at kuyas. Ingat po kayo!" Sigaw ng kapatid ko sa kanila.
"Bye, baby. Balik kami soon. Kita sa club okay?" Hanabi said and made their way home.
What a day, indeed.
