Chapter 4

"We're excited to announce that the clubs for the school organization will officially open tomorrow. From that day forward, we'll begin organizing all activities."

Halos sabay-sabay kaming tumango at nabuhayan dahil sa anunsyo ng Supreme Secondary Government President ng Morgen High. We're currently in a meeting of officers, and we were so excited to know na magsisimula na bukas ang club activities.

Club organizations are really important in this time since they help sharpen the skills of students eager to learn beyond the classroom throughout the academic year. Those clubs can also continue all the way through senior high hanggang sa maka-graduate. And these include a variety of options, such as Mathematics, Science, Arts, Dance, and many more.

Nagpatuloy lang ang meeting at hindi ko na namalayan ang oras hanggang sa matapos ito.

"Any questions or additional concerns?" tanong ng president. All of us shook our heads, indicating that we're all clear and ready to prepare for it. "Alright, thank you for joining today. Dismissed na po ang meeting."

Sabay-sabay kaming lahat na nag-ayos ng gamit. I felt a tap on my shoulder, making me look at the person who did it behind me. Si Daena lang pala.

"Grab tayo ng snack, Rhyo," anyaya niya sa 'kin.

I opened my phone first to check the time. 3PM pa lang ngayon, and wala naman kaming klase ngayon dahil remediation, ngunit sure akong mayro'n sa last period.

Tumango ako. "Sige, tara."

We both left the meeting room and made our way to the cafeteria. Hapon na ngunit lively pa rin ang paligid dahil sa mga nakakalat na estudyante na sa tingin ko ay remediation din nila.

They seemed to be soaking in the vibrant energy of the late afternoon. Some were playing tag in the open field, while others appeared to be having an impromptu picnic on the green grass. Everywhere I looked, there were groups of teens, enjoying each other's company and making the most of their time together.

Enjoy lang kahit stress na sa acads. Gano'n naman palagi. Unahin muna ang magreklamo, at gagawin din naman sa huli.

"Teka, mga kaklase ko 'yon, ah!" Daena squinted as she tried to look at the open field. Medyo malayo ang mga ito at talagang minumukhaan pa. Napatingin din tuloy ako sa tinitignan niya.

All of them are boys, at naglalaro sila ng luksong baka.

Bumagal ang hakbang namin ni Daena sa pathways habang pinanonood ang mga naglalarong estudyante.

"Papatayin ko na talaga ang aircon namin mamaya sa last period!" She grunted.

"Bakit mo naman papatayin?" nagtataka kong tanong.

"Kapag pumasok ang mga 'yan mamaya na gan'yan ang mga hitsura, mangangamoy sinigang na naman sa classroom!" sagot niya. She looks so done with her classmates, halatang kunsomisyon ang dinudulot ng mga kaklase niyang lalaki.

"Maasim pala, e." I shook my head, trying to refrain my lips from laughing.

"Sinabi mo pa! Ang sasakit sa ulo ng mga 'yan!" She crossed her arms. "Tara na nga, bili na tayo ng snack."

She held my arm that caught me off guard. Hinatak niya na ako kaya hindi na ako nakapagreklamo. As soon as we arrived, pumila na kami para bumili. Bumili ako ng dalawang stick ng kamote cue at isang cup ng cucumber juice. Si Daena naman ay bumili ng isang burger at fruit shake.

"So, anong club ang sasalihan mo?" biglang tanong ni Daena habang kumakain. We stayed here in the cafeteria to eat snack.

"Dance Club," I answered abruptly. Isa rin naman ito sa mga bagay na hilig ko talagang gawin. For sure, tatalon ang tenga nina Kenty at Fiona kapag nalaman nilang sasayaw na ulit ako. I missed performing on stage with them. "Ikaw?"
