"Good Morning, as you may all know. An entrepreneur with the name of Mr. Montes came and had an agreement with the director. According to the agreement, you are to make a business and make it successful with the things you've learned in this class. Mr. Montes is kind enough to give you land for the business you are to build and even let you design the building." The professor informed.

It was exciting to know that we could get such an opportunity in creating or building a business. What business should I do in order to make it big and successful? Should I make something that everyone likes? Should I ask the others if they're interested? Wait...if he's asking us to start a business with his own money hindi ba manghihingi siya ng kapalit? That's weird. I raised my hand to ask but got ignored instead kasi nagsalita ulit si Professor Sanchez, 'rude' I thought.

"To those who are about to ask, if you managed to make the business successful, Mr. Montes will let you have the business so you don't have to worry where you're going to work after graduating but it will be under their company and you can even stop studying if you want and just continue expanding the business. But if you have failed in making the business successful, I'm sad to say but you're going to have to pay for the land and the building." She explained.

May kapalit nga, parang nawalan ako ng gana magvolunteer, not all business becomes successful with a snap of a finger. Mr. Montes should know that since he is an experienced entrepreneur, and why is he asking us students to start a business? 'Nalulugi na ba kompanya niya at kailangan niya ng tulong? Baka sadyang nawalan lang siya ng creativity, how sad' I thought, making me chuckle.

"So, if anyone who wants to volunteer, you may. But I'm warning you right now, hindi madali mag manage ng isang business na hindi ka familiar." Sabi ni Professor Sanchez, glaring at me. 'Hala ano nanaman ginawa ko?' I thought. "I'm not discouraging any of you to not take this opportunity, but I'm warning some of you kasi malaki ang perang gagastusin dito." She added looking away from me.

Tatanungin ko sana si Anna tungkol dun sa sinasabi ni Prof. pero halatang hindi nakikinig kasi pumipikit pikit na yung mga mata niya, tatawa sana ako pero naalala ko na malapit kami sa harap at baka makita siya ni Prof. tapos palabasin sa room, baka nga isama pa ako eh. Para hindi halata, pasimple ko siyang siniko sa gilid.

"Miss!" she shouted while standing. "Yes, Ms. Aikawa?" Ms. Sanchez replied, her focus was now on the student standing. "We volunteer as tribute!" Anna excitedly yelled making me shocked. "Meet me at the director's office later whoever volunteered with you, now sit down." Ms. Sanchez replied. "What the f*** was that Anna?" I whispered to her. "What? I told her that we're volunteering to draw a building for Mr. Montes' business" She whispered smiling. "She's asking for people who will volunteer to make a successful business under Mr. Montes" I whispered back. "S***" she whispered not smiling anymore. "S*** indeed" I replied looking back at Ms. Sanchez talking about the PEST analysis.

-time skip to break-

"How the f*** are we supposed to explain this Anna??" I asked her while pulling her to the side. "What do you mean by 'How the f*** are we supposed to explain this Anna'?" Anna asked me. "How are we supposed to explain to the others how you blatantly volunteered to something dangerous?" I exclaimed. "Oh" she said. "I don't really know." Anna told me while grinning sheepishly. I groaned out of frustration. "Hey, at least I did not volunteer to jump off a cliff" She reasoned out. "I might as well volunteer for that s***" I replied. "I'm just gonna wing it" She said and went straight to the cafeteria on the way to find our friends. "Wing it?" I asked, following her. "Yep, Let's go. Adventures with Anna Season 1, Episode 1: S*** is going down" She said hopping. 'The f*** is up with this woman?' I mentally asked myself. We finally approached the cafeteria, I could already see some of our friends sharing their food. 'Enjoy that happiness while it last cause s*** is about to go down' I thought. "Hey guys!" Elisha waved. I sighed while Anna already sat down with them grabbing a fry from Richard's tray. "I'm gonna go get our food, Anna explain them about the talk with Professor Sanchez" I said and went to the mini convenience store to buy food. While I was grabbing a banana milk from the dairy aisle, I heard whispering behind me, which to be honest, doesn't really sound like whispering.

"Did you hear? Anna is volunteering for Mr. Montes' project!:"

"F***, really? Didn't another batch from the other school failed that project and they were forced to pay at least P100,000"

"F***, Anna's going to ruin the school's reputation if she fails the project"

"Oh F***, we're going to be called an idiot, why did she even volunteer?"

'How many f***'s are they going to say? And why are they so negative?' I mentally asked myself. Damn, this people does not know how to be optimistic. Who the heck cares about reputation? I shook my head and went to pay for the things when suddenly a girl bumped into me. "Sorry" she said and run away, I shrugged and went to the cashier to pay. I went back to our table and saw Anna quietly eating a fry while the others were having a mental breakdown. I put the items down in the table and Anna immediately grabbed the melon pan and the banana milk along with a bottle of water. "You mean to say, that Anna was dozing in class and when you tried to wake her up she shot up in her seat and volunteered to something that will literally ruin our lives, forever." Richard stated. "Yep, what I wanted to say earlier" I replied while munching on a piece of banana bread. "F***" Richard replied smacking his head on the table. "Well, like I've said 'At least I did not volunteer to jump off a cliff'" Anna answered biting on the bread. "Well, I'd rather jump off a cliff" Simon said. "Oh! I forgot, we need to go to the director's office to discuss about this!" Anna exclaimed standing up from her seat. "Everyone, grab your things!" Anna said while grabbing the trash and running off stopping beside the trash cans and segregated the trashes before running again. We all groaned and walked to the director's office, gathering our things and exiting the cafeteria with a heavy heart.

"Why do we have to go?" Lyra asked. "Yeah, 4 of us don't take the class the three of you take Miggy" Elisha added. "I don't know either, just go with it I guess" I answered with a shrugged. "Technically, I was forced to come. So, I'm dragging you guys down with me." I added. After that statement, a chorus of 'WHAT?!' 'The hell man! I thought we were friends' and a bunch of insults filled the halls. I mean there's a saying for that, right? What was it again? 'If we go down, we go down together'? (Krewella,2013) But isn't that from a song? Ah! "It's the song from Ed Sheeran! 'If this is to end in flame, then we should all burn together' from I See Fire which was released in 2013" I said. I accidentally said what I was thinking out loud, damn it. I'll stop with the puns. "You mean 'If this is to end in "fire" not flames?" Lyra asked shaking her head. "Whoops, wrong lyric" I replied. "Guess it runs in the genes" Jade stated while looking at Anna who was walking ahead of us. "We're not related to each other!" I exclaimed. "Yeah right" Simon said unconvinced. "She's not my sister, I just take care of her as one." I explained. "Kay" Jade replied. "What are you guys doing? Hurry up! We're going to get scolded by the director and Professor Sanchez" Anna pointed out. "Well, it's not our fault being forced to do something we don't even want" Simon answered. "Forcing? Where's this "force" when you're literally walking on your own on the way to the director's office?" Anna remarked with a raised eyebrow before turning away and continued walking. "Hey! Jade, did you just see your daughter talk back to his uncle?" Simon asked Jade in bewilderment. "What can I say? My children are literally the spawn of the Buenaventura" Jade said and walked ahead with the other 5 leaving Simon gapping at us. "Oh, the amount of disrespect I'm getting" Simon grumbled. "Hurry up old man, the plane is about to take off" Anna yelled. "F*** this s***, I give up" Simon said and ran after us.

The page where one blooms:

Yellow Daffodils - this flowers are known to bring joy, happiness and new beginnings. These flowers also symbolize the beginning of a brand new friendship. The ancient Greeks believed that the daffodil originated from egotistical Greek demigod who is a hunter named Narcissus. The flower, in general, is thought to reassure happiness and friendship, however, a single bloom is thought to represent a misfortune. (Lily Calyx, 2014)
