Weh? Di nga? You're a GIRL?!

Fever

Jared's POV

I woke up in another school day, feeling groggy because of the coldness that hit me. I shut my alarm off and stared at the open glass sliding door on my left side. I tried to recall on how I left it open last night.

Right, I was thinking about her.

I paused for a moment before standing up and went towards the sliding door. I can see the sun is about to come up in any minute and that made me look on my wall clock. Time check, five o'clock in the morning.

I closed my sliding window and proceeded inside my own bathroom to take a warm shower. Maybe it'll help me loosen up some of my thoughts.

I felt this day a little different. Like something is going to happen or more like something will be revealed. Well, it's just a feeling and I don't even know if it's true or what.

It took me a few minutes before finishing my shower. I went out and directly dressed into my uniform. Looking one last time in front of my mirror, I went out of my room.

Lumabas ako, only to see Zedrick up and drinking milk in the kitchen. Nakasuot na rin sya ng uniform nya. I just noticed something, his hair changed back to its original hair color, which is dark brown. Yup, nagpakulay lang ng black yan si Zedrick dahil gusto naman daw nyang maging kakaiba ang looks nya. Kaso mukhang washed away na eh.

"Morning, Red." Bati nya sa akin nung dumaan ako sa harapan nya. I just nodded as a response.

"Di pa gising yung tatlo?" Tanong ko.

"Naliligo pa lang. Ayos lang yan, 5:30 pa lang naman at 8 ang start ng klase ngayon. Wala naman tayong first subject ngayon eh." Tumango ako at dumiretso sa sala para manood muna ng tv. Sumunod naman sa akin si Zedrick at dala nya yung jar ng cookies.

Bumukas yung pinto ng kwarto ni Alex at Jacob. Mga nakabihis na sila at ready to go. "Bakit ba kelangan maaga tayo umalis? Wala naman first subject diba." Reklamo ni Jacob. Ang baby talaga nito kahit kelan.

"Marami kayang project na inaasikaso. Bahala ka kung gusto mo maiwan muna dito." Sabi ni Alex at umupo sa tabi ko, nakikain na rin ng cookies ang loko.

Halata kasing puyat si Jacob dahil late nanaman umuwi kagabi yan at nag training ng basketball since malapit na ang inter-school at sya ang substitute captain dahil pilay yung totoong captain nila.

Tsk, pressure is on him.

"Kung ayaw mo kasing napapagod, ehdi tumigil ka diyan sa basketball as a varsity player. Lagi ka nga late umuuwi at puro reklamo naman pag papasok na sa umaga. Yung totoo? Kakarindi na eh." Isang morning sermon ang inabot nya kay Zedrick. Jacob pouted and crossed his arms over his chest like a little kid whose throwing away some tantrums.

"I'm enjoying this stuff though.." Bulong ni Jacob, pero enough naman para marinig namin yung sinabi nya.

"Ehdi wag ka mag reklamo!" Sabay namin sigaw nila Zedrick at Alex. Lalong nag-pout si Jacob at kumuha ng unan para itakip sa mukha nya na may ngusong humahaba sa kaka-pout nya.

Jusmiyo! Teenager ba talaga to? Para kasi syang five years old na bata na hindi mo lang bigyan ng gusto nya, eh magwawala na. Hayy, paano nga ba namin sya naging kaibigan?

"Ang sama nyo talaga!" Sigaw nya kahit nakatakip yung unan sa mukha nya. Alex chuckled and patted the pillow that was covering Jacob's face.

"Ikaw kasi bunso eh, puro ka na lang reklamo, eh ikaw naman ang pumasok kasi hilig mo yan." Alex explained pero hindi pa rin nakinig si Jacob. Aba! Bahala sya diyan, ang tigas ng ulo nya.
