"You should always be ready on what's coming in front of you. Learn to accept even the unacceptable truth. That's how you can make things easier, JG." ~Tristan

Basa ko sa sulat na nilagay niya sa bag ko. That prick thought I didn't saw what he did, hindi ko nalang din tinanong kung ano ang ginawa niya. Mahiyaing manok pa naman 'yun.

"You done?" He asked while getting his bag.

Tumango lang ako at tumayo na rin para makaalis na kami. Our band practice is now done for this month kaya ito na rin ang huling pagkikita namin. Masiyado kasing malaki ang SOB para magkita kami. Note the sarcasm.

"I have a question," basag ko sa katahimikan, "Why don't I see you in school?"

"Let's not talk about it." Malamig niyang sabi.

"Ba't?"

"I am forbidden to..."

"Forbidden to talk or forbidden to enter?"

"Both."

"Why—"

"There's still a lot of things you don't know about these school, JG. Study that first before asking."

What the hell?

"Was that an advice or sarcasm?"

"Depends on how you understand it." he said smirking. Masasapak ko 'tong lalaking 'to. Kung hindi lang talaga 'to leader namin ay, kanina ko pa 'to ginawang statwa.

"I just realized how strong the wind is in here." I sarcastically said and he just shrugged it off.

"Someone's waiting for me since earlier so I'll go now. Catch up with you guys next month."

"Yeah, sure. Don't forget to revise my lyrics!" Ani ko at lumiko na papasok sa SOB. Ang music room namin ay naka surround pa rin sa loob ng SOB pero hindi na ito masiyadong nadadaanan ng mga estudyante maliban nalang sa mga dito nakatira.

Gusto ko pa sanang tumambay sa bahay at bumalik nalang sa school kapag oras na ng training namin pero parang ayaw makisabay ng panahon dahil bigla na lang may sumulpot sa gilid kong koryanang hindi na ani.

"What are you doing here?" I asked as I look at her from head to toe.

"Oh no, Jagi. What are you doing here?" Diniinan pa nga. "...and don't examine me like how you examine strangers you prick."

"I asked first. Never heard of first come first serve?"

"Pasmado bibig nito ah.

"Galing ako sa training. May tatapusin akong design mamaya pagkatapos ng group training at saktong free time din niya kaya ngayon nalang kami nag training." aniya

Tumingin naman ako sa likod niya't nakita ko nga ang aquaman ng mundong 'to.

"So gurl, 'wag tayong mag paasa. Ba't ka nandito?" Tanong niya ulit. Kulit ng chismosang 'to.

"Kagagaling ko lang din sa FREVOS kaya ako nandito. At bakit pala ang layo ng training room niyong dalawa?" Makabuluhan kong tanong.
