Hindi ko rin alam kung bakit trip na trip ako saktan ni Lord.

Nginang 'yan, ang sakit ng katawan ko. Sabing di ko forte ang basketball e, pinilit pa talaga. Pero dahil malakas akong nilalang, pumasok pa rin ako despite the countless pain aching all over my body. Sayang attendance e, kainis.

Naka-hoodie lang ako nang pumasok sa school. Tsk. Wala naman akong sport ngayon, di ko need mag-jersey attire. Pero tangina, parang ako lang ata ang normal dito. Lahat naka-joggers, jerseys, at sneakers---ready na naman sila sa pagkakarera sa basketball court o kung saan man.

When I entered our room, ingay agad ang sumalubong sa akin.

Tinawanan ko ang mga nag pa-panic kong classmate at umupo sa isang bakanteng upoan.

"Guys, don't panic, it's organic." Nangungutya kong saad.

Agad akong naka tanggap ng sama na tingin kay Kyan. "Langya ka, ikaw dapat nandito e." His voice was full of regret.

Minamake-up-pan kasi siya currently. Third day means it's Mr. and Ms. Intrams. And because I threatened them that I won't join Mr. and Ms. Key Of Life kung ako ang nag Mr. Intrams, he doesn't have a choice but to agree--- lsila ni Ryu. Our Humss Mr. Intrams is Kyan while the Ms. is Ryu.

"Ganda mo bro, pa-kiss nga." Biro ko pa.

"Stop, I can't even look at you right now," he said, fixing his hair in the mirror like he was auditioning for a modeling gig. "Alam kong may masama kang plano ka. 'wag mong gawing mas miserable pa ang buhay ko."

I grinned and leaned back in my chair. "You should've seen your face, bro. Anyway, good luck."

Naglakad-lakad si Kyan papunta sa stage para sa mga preparations.

Nag-uusap-usap ang lahat tungkol sa Mr. and Ms. Intrams, and for once, I was actually starting to get curious kung paano magpa-pose si Kyan sa harap ng mga tao.

Marami na ang tao sa gym kung saan gaganapin ang Mr. and Ms. Intrams. Me and the whole HUMSS gang found a seat, and when we did, we immediately plopped down. Tsk, malapit pa talaga kami sa mga taga-STEM.

I was fiddling with my phone, waiting for the event to start, when whispers from HUMSS and squeals from STEM immediately rang in my ears. Kumurap ako.

Anong meron?!

I immediately looked around for the source of their noise, and my lips parted when I saw the cause of it.

Sylas, with Devina, both in their jersey attire.

Of course, sila yung representatives ng strand nila. Mr. Intrams, Sylas, at Ms. Intrams, Devina.

Puno ng excitement ang mukha ng mga tao sa paligid, lahat ay parang nag-aabang ng big revelation.

The crowd was reacting, sobrang halata na all eyes were on them, especially Sylas. His usual cool demeanor was still there, but he was surrounded by this... buzz.

Hindi ko alam kung anong meron, pero may kuryente sa pagitan nilang dalawa na para bang kaya nilang patagilid ang buong gym sa isang lingon lang.

Potek. Alams na sino mananalo sa fans' favorite award.

Bago magtuloy-tuloy ang hiyawan ng crowd, Sylas glanced around, and his eyes... landed on me.

Natigilan ako.

Tumingin siya sa'kin, at may part sa katawan ko na parang nag electric shock. Putang ina, electric shock?!

And then, like nothing happened, he looked away.
