LORELEI
SATURDAY CAME, the day Loki has dreaded since the moment we voted to join the team building. I knew he would try to not come with us. Ini-lock niya ang kanyang sarili sa kwarto. No matter how many times I knocked and how many threats I made, he would not open up.
But thanks to him, I knew how to pick locks. Using his own tools, nabuksan ko ang pinto ng kanyang kuwarto at nadatnan siyang nakahiga pa rin sa kama. He's covered in blanket like a human burrito. I had to drag him away from his bed to make him move.
"I shouldn't have shared my lock-picking skills with you." This wasn't the first time I used what he taught me against him. Inalis niya ang nakabalot na kumot sa kanyang katawan at naglakad patungo sa bathroom.
"Next time, maglagay ka kasi ng bolt sa kwarto mo." Wait, maybe I shouldn't have made that suggestion? Binigyan ko tuloy siya ng idea. Well, he's too lazy to go to the hardware store to buy a bolt lock, let alone install it.
I tossed a towel roll at him. Iniabang niya ang kanyang mga kamay para saluhin ang tuwalya, pero 'di niya nasalo. Hindi na nga gano'n kalayo ang distansya namin. Wala yata siyang future maging basketball player.
Mismong sa school na kami nagkita ng mga kasama namin sa club. Doon din kasi ang meeting place para sa pick-up point ng school bus. Alistair was already there, wearing a light blue polo shirt. He's always an early bird. May bitbit siyang sling travel bag na hindi gano'n kalaki. Knowing him, he would have only brought the exact number of shirts and shorts needed for a two-day stay.
Jamie arrived a little late from our call time. She was wearing a ruffled sleeveless top and denim shorts, showing her legs. Kung paramihan ng dala ang labanan, siya na ang panalo. She brought a luggage na parang magbabakasyon siya nang isang linggo. When we asked about her bag, she said she only brought her essentials. Nothing more. I highly doubt that.
Loki, who was the least enthusiastic about the trip, was wearing a gray v-neck shirt matched with dark chino walking shorts. He did not bring that many clothes for the event. Ni hindi na nga niya masyadong pinag-isipan kung ano-ano'ng mga damit ang dadalhin niya. Dalawa or tatlong shirts lang yata ang inilagay niya sa kanyang backpack.
As for me, I was wearing a beige blouse and denim pants. I also packed casual and semi-formal dresses in my bag. Siniguro kong kasya sa iisang bag ang mga damit ko. Ayaw ko rin kasi ang maraming gamit. Compared to Jamie, my essentials weren't that many. Para sa personal hygiene at skin care routine ang dala ko.
"Don't look so grim, Loki dear!" Jamie tried to cheer him up. Paano ba naman, nakasimangot siya mula apartment hanggang makarating kami sa campus? Words might not have any effect on him. "Enjoy-in lang natin ang team building, okay? Kasama mo naman kami kaya siguradong 'di ka mabo-bore. This is gonna be fun!"
