[TAMARA]
I woke up early on the morning only to find myself left in the room. It was only 7:00 a.m. but they are already up early?
I picked up my phone and noticed the notification. It says that the second mission will start at 8:00 a.m. so that explains why they're awake now, huh?
I decided to go to the bathroom first to take a shower and that took me only ten minutes to do so.
Nagsuot lang ako ng simple yellow shirt and skinny jeans dahil hindi ko naman kailangan pumorma because of the mission. Magiging hadlang lamang iyon samin. I put on a light makeup on me.
Naglakad na ako pababa ng hagdanan, at mula rito ay naaamoy ko ang mabangong amoy ng sinangag.
Bago ang amoy na 'yin ah. Sino kaya ang nasa kusina?
I saw John reading a newspaper while sittomg on a couch. He looked so serious.
"Good morning, miss!" He playfully greeted me. That made me chuckle.
I sat down on one of the single sofas. Andito kami halos lahat sa sala. Pauline was beside John, she was reading a pocketbook. Seb and Krissha, were on a long sofa. They're... uhm sweet?
I noticed Hale isn't here yet. I looked around but I couldn't see him.
"Are you looking for Hale?" mapanuyang tanong ni John. "He's on the kitchen."
Woah. So siya pala ang nagluluto huh? I didn't expect that he can cook.
Hindi pa rin inaalis ni John ang mapanuksong tingin niya sa akin.
Uhh.. what was that for?
Naalis lang ang tingin niya sakin nang tumunog ang doorbell ng bahay. Sino kaya ang dumating?
I was about to walk towards the door when John stopped me.
"Ako na." sabi niya.
"Hintayin mo na lang si Mr. Cook diyan!" sigaw niya habang naglalakad palapit sa pintuan.
Eh?!
Bakit kailangan isigaw??!
Tumingin ako sa mga tao rito sa salaat tiningnan ko kung may nakarinig. Mukhang wala namang pakialam ang ang dalawang naglalandian sa sofa.
Nang dapuan ko ng tingin si Pauline ay may mapanuksong titig din ito. Inirapan ko na lang siya.
Bumalik si John sa living room kasama ang babaeng mas maliit kaysa samin. Mukhang mas bata rin siya sa aming lahat.
"Hi!" she greeted us.
Nagkatinginan kami kung sino ang babaeng ito, dahil ngayon lang kami nagkita. Nagkaroon ako ng kaunting hint sa pagkakakilanlan niya pero 'di ako sigurado.
"Guys," tinawag kami ni John. "Eto si Felize, 'yung kasama natin sa group chat."
Tumayo ang mga nakaupo sa sofa nang makilala nila kung sino ito. Sunod-sunod kaming nagpakilala sa kaniya.
Si Felize pala ay isang senior high school graduate sa Humanities and Social Sciences strand. Sabi niya, kukunin niya ang kursong Education pagtapak ng kolehiyo.
7:30 AM
Lumabas na sa kusina si Hale na halatang katatapos lang magluto. Kahuhubad niya lang ng suot niyang itim na apron.
