Chapter 5: Romeo and Juliet
(Damsel in Distress)

Medyo magaling na ang mga sugat ko na sanhi ng exploration ko sa loob ng kweba. Nang makauwi kasi kami ng araw na iyon ay agad akong dinala sa ospital but I wasn't confined since hindi naman masyadong malalim ang pinsala. The doctor said I might be in trauma dahil sa pangyayari but I assured them that I'll be fine.

Mom and Dad also came when they heard about what happened to me. I just assured them that I'm perfectly fine and do not need any psychiatric treatment at all. It's been 5 days since that happened. My wounds were healing, ganoon din ang pasa ko sa katawan at sugat sa ulo.

As of Gray, matapos ang naging eksena namin sa bus, he's back to his normal self. Yep, the one who is arrogant, braggy and full of himself Gray. He often solves simple cases at school tulad ng mga nawawalang equipments sa lab. He even identified through his deductions kung sino ang mga nakabasag ng ilang equipments at kung anu-ano pang mga bagay sa school which makes him very famous in Bridle. He's been tagged with the title Bridle's Detective and gained fans and supporters, which he really enjoyed! Geez! That show off guy!

Kasalukuyang nasa clubroom ako ng kinabibilangan kong club. Busy ang Drama and Theatre Club ngayon dahil may gagawin itong play to convince students join the club. Narito kami ngayon sa office ng club para sa meeting.

"Magandang hapon sa inyong lahat. Kaya tayo narito ay upang ipaalam sa inyong lahat na may gagawin tayong play to induce students to join our club," wika ni Mia, ang president ng club.

Umugong naman ang ingay doon. Everyone is very excited except me. Sumali lang naman ako dito dati para lang may salihan ako. I never had a major role, puro minor o kaya minsan ay behind the scenes lang. I usually write scripts sa mga play na gawa mismo ng club.

"Tahimik muna," pagpapatuloy ni Mia. "This play is not for Bridle's students only but it is also open to the public. This will be the first time na magpapapasok tayo ng mga outsider dito sa Bridle to watch our play."

Everyone wants to have a major role since it's not for Bridle students only. Oh, why are they so excited? Someone from the crowd stood up.

"Madame President, what will be our piece?" Tumahimik ang lahat at naghintay ng sagot.

"Oh, our piece will be the famous Romeo and Juliet," Mia said.

Muling umugong ang ingay sa paligid. Ohs and Yes filled the room. Everyone want to have Juliet's role and even Romeo's role; the boys are looking forward to it.

"We're going to have our impromptu audition for each role today," Mia announced. Someone handed us papers with a little script on it na siyang magiging audition piece ng bawat isa. I don't want to audition for the main role pero tinanggap ko pa rin ang audition piece na binigay.

O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo?
Deny thy father and refuse thy name;
Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love,
And I'll no longer be a Capulet.
'Tis but thy name that is my enemy;
Thou art thyself, though not a Montague.
What's Montague? it is nor hand, nor foot,
Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part
Belonging to a man. O, be some other name!
What's in a name? that which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet;
So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call'd,
Retain that dear perfection which he owes
Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name,
And for that name which is no part of thee
Take all myself.
