"Gah! Ang init." Jerald said as he wiped the beads of sweat on his arms. "Kailan kaya hindi magiging ganito ka hassle ang enrollment!"

"Hm. Siguro 'pag wala na tayo dito." Sam said.

"Brad, wala ka bang special powers diyan na pwede natin gamitin para naman hindi na natin kailangan mag hintay ng matagal." RJ said, fanning himself with the payment slip he is holding.

"Tingin mo kung meron, magtitiis ako dito?" Jerald asked, annoyed.

"Eh ikaw 'yan e. Hindi mo nga alam nung una na may service kayo for every game e. Tanga tanga Beh?" RJ asked making Maine chuckle.

"Gago, 'wag mo nga ipaalala 'yun! Nakaka init lalo ng ulo e." Jerald said.

There were four opened windows for the enrollees but for some reason, the enrollment is going through a very slow pace with only 1 student per window being served for every 15 minutes.

"Feeling ata ng mga teller, lima lang mage enroll e. Naknampucha napaka tagal!" Sam said a bit loud, earning him a glare from the guard.

They waited for a little over an hour, occasionally chatting to pass boredom. The students were starting to get weary for they were all under the scorching heat of the sun.

"May tubig ka pa, Je?" Maine asked. She let out a frustrated sigh when her brother showed her his empty bottle. "Shet naaamaaaan. Nahihilo na ko sa init!"

"Meng, oh. Wala naman akong malubhang sakit kaya 'wag ka nang mag inarte." RJ said, handing her his bottled water.

Maine took the bottle and finished its content straight away, forgetting to ask if RJ still wants to drink. "Shit. Sorry, naubos ko." But RJ told her that it was okay and that he didn't want the water anymore.

"Buti na lang slow si Je 'no, Brad?" Sam said to RJ in a hushed tone.

"Huh?" RJ asked.

"Kasi hindi niya napapansin na may gusto ka sa kapatid niya e. And don't give me that look, kahit hindi mo sabihin, alam ko. Obyus oy." Sam said, smirking, but RJ chose to ignore him.

As soon as thy finished with the enrollment, they all proceeded at the waiting area where the family driver of the Napoleses will fetch them. Sam and RJ were fighting over something stupid when a tall, morena girl approached them.

"Ahm. Hi, excuse me. Where can I find the St. Therese Gymnasium?" She asked timidly.

"The what gymnasium?" Sam asked, confused.

"Alam mo ikaw, Samir, sa sobrang gala mo sa university na 'to, nakakapag taka na hindi mo alam pangalan ng pinanggalingan natin." RJ said, laughing. "Ahh miss. Pasok ka lang sa maliit na gate na 'yun, straight ahead." He then said to the girl, smiling sweetly.

"Oh okay! Thank you so much!" She said, giving off a kind smile. She was walking off towards the direction RJ gave when Jerald, out of nowhere, shouted.

"Good luck, Miss! Daming nakapila, bagal pa ng tellers!" He said, giving a weirdly toothy grin and a frantic waving of his hand.
