●ZACHREY●

"Xiamin, Zach, it's good that you're here now. You three have to know something."

I gulped and all of a sudden, I could feel the nervousness covering my whole body. Xia and I glanced at each other before sitting beside Bea who was silent all along.

"What happened?" I heard Xia whispered to Bea. She was keeping her voice down so Coach will not hear it.

"I don't know, Big Sister Xiamin," she whispered back. "I already asked Ma'am Jehr, but she said that we should wait for both you and Big Brother Zachrey."

Xia looked at me again like there was something she wanted to tell me, and I could sense that she was nervous, too.

"Xiamin, Zachrey, Bea?"

"Y-Yes, Ma'am!" The three of us immediately answered.

Frankly? I hated it every time she starts calling our names because there will always be bad news coming right after that.

"Chill. You three look like your souls just left your bodies." She raised a brow at us. "What I'm about to say is not a matter of life and death."

"But, Ma'am Jehr," Xia spoke. "you sound so staid. It's not like you."

"I agree, Coach." Ma'am Jehr faced me. "Also, every time that you call us with our names just like what you did a few minutes ago, it will always be followed with a piece of bad news."

She closed her eyes and sighed. She even massaged her nose bridge. Our coach looked pretty stressed up.

"Seriously. I just wanted to tell you that there will only be a single winner per school that could win in the Division in all categories." She opened her eyes and eyeballed each of us. Even if you crack a joke in front of her, I doubt she would laugh. "Meaning, even if you captivate the hearts and minds of the judges with your articles, only one of you three will be chosen for the Regionals."

Her humorless eyes suddenly changed into gloomy ones, and what Coach just said stuck in our minds like it was on repeat.

Xia, Bea, and I were here in the classroom where we usually train. Coach was in her faculty, while the three of us were just spacing out. Ma'am Jehr already gave us some topics to write about, but none of us were writing. We were just too occupied by what our coach said.

Until now, we were still flabbergasted of what she said, and we could not seem to find the right words to say.

After reporting the news to us, her gloomy eyes did not escape ours. It was like her tears were about to fall but she was just trying to hold it back. Why are they only targeting a single student per school for the Regionals? It is so unfair to me.

What about those students who have potential, but because only a single student is allowed to win per school, they will just give up in a blink of an eye since they already have a thought in there mind indicating that others are way too better than them. I believe, five slots are enough for every one of us. But one winner per school? I do not think that is very helpful at all.

My only point is that some students might lose their self-confidence because of this. This year is my last year in Junior High School and I want to enjoy it as much as I can. Like any other campus journalist, I also wanted to experience the National Level.
