Episode 2 Week end

It is Saturday, no classes so I went biking. I visited Ana for an afternoon chat. We went to the park closeby. We saw the elite group on their rollerblades Tommy is on his motorbike he looks so cool.

So they meet here every weekend with their rollerblades. Sadly, I cant buy rollerblades anymore. I later asked for the bike I have right now, so maybe on Christmas, I can ask for rollerblades. It is only mid-July, 5 more months before Christmas.

Why do they look like models every time I see them, they are wearing nice clothes and their shoes don't get dirty, their shirts don't get cramped even their sweat smells so good. How can this be possible? Life is indeed unfair, I have to settle to mediocre genes, IQ and finances while these guys have almost everything. I bet their life is way easier than mine. Anyway, they invited us to join them. They seem to be in a good mood, or maybe they are just warming up for them not to bully us right away. They welcomed us, but my mind is preparing right away if they suddenly change their mind and start being sarcastic later.

We see each other on a class every day on the weekdays but they seem to be different. Their mood was lighter. We are sweaty now after fooling around for about an hour, I'm afraid my shirt is already smelly. I didn't put on deodorant when I left home. Who would think that I will be seeing all my crushes on Saturday in one place? They are coming near me teasing me, pushing me a little bit while they joke around or pull my long hair slightly as they laugh. Mildred was there and Theresa too, I'm just observing how they carry themselves on this kind of situation. They look natural, they're not tense at all. Anyway, they have been friends since freshman year. We were in the same class but they didn't notice my existence before. So it's kind of awkward that I'm laughing with them now. I'm just going with the flow, nothing bad is happening for now. They seem nice but I never thought they can be like this to me. Ana has no problem blending in, she is not ashamed of her class status even from the beginning. She knew only by accepting herself she will be accepted in the group as well. Ana is a cute girl, some of our guy classmates like her. She is a little funny too.

After consuming all our energy that afternoon, the boys mentioned a good place near the park perfect for a snack. I told them I can't come anymore since I didn't bring any money with me. Melissa wants me so bad to join them but I insisted I should go.

I wanna go as well but I'm so ashamed right now, I don't have money to spend on the weekend. Mike said he will share his to me, but I said no. The boys carried me to the snack place, one guy on both of my hands then another carried my legs, they are laughing while they do that. They are so insistent too, it is no use disagreeing with them. As we arrived at the place, they ordered banana cue, some drinks, kwek kwek and bbq. They combined all the food on the table so we are free to get what we want. Mike eats so fast he looks so hungry while Theressa is so caring offering me and Ana some food and making sure we are not shy to get some refill. Carlos eats so beautifully his lips is close munching, he doesn't get messy while doing it. The food is good I love banana cue but my attention is on their beautiful faces while they eat. I want to eat them instead.

Mike: Don't be shy Lourdes I paid for three, we usually have excess. So I think we have enough today.

Lourdes: Thanks, Mike. I love banana cue I will surely eat.

Theressa: I had so much fun today. Do you go out on weekends often Ana? Lourdes?

Ana: Not really we just get closer lately after the tour.

Lourdes: Only now did I visit Ana's house. I got so bored so I went out today. I didn't know you meet in the park every weekend.

Tristan: I live closeby just 3 houses after the church so I'm always here even after class or sometimes in the evening.

Lourdes: I don't go out by night. I just get some ride until I get tired here and there with no specific place.

Mildred: We kind of meet here almost every weekend we don't even plan it anymore. It became our routine already.

Ana: Cool maybe we will go again next week here if we are not busy.

Tommy: How about tomorrow? Are you busy on Sunday?

Ana: I need to prepare a lot for Monday. I'm not done yet with our homework and I need to clean my room.

Lourdes: Same with me, plus I'm washing my uniform.

Carlos: I'm done with all those by Friday night.

Mildred: Shut up, maybe the homework but not cleaning and washing your uniform. You don't even have any single responsibility at home. You don't have the right to relate on this one Carlos.

Carlos: I do washing too.

Theressa: Really what do you wash?

Carlos: My socks, shoes and my undies.

Boys laugh at him.

Tristan: I get you Carlos, its hard work to wash your shoes especially if you have plenty of them.

Tommy: What a show-off. Your shoes are old model, when are you gonna buy the one we saw the last time we visit the mall.

Tristan: It's out of stock I went there with Dad on Tuesday, just after school but they said there was no more stock of that design I like. Next time don't buy them all as if your buying toilet papers.

Tommy: It's not me who bought it maybe Mike or Carlos or the Senior riding a red car. I saw he also buy air Jordan.

Carlos: I'm not into shoes, only my mom bought mine.

Mike: Yeah whatever you don't ask for it but they buy it anyway. Dad knows Tito and Tita, they buy everything new on the store just for you, their golden boy.

At this moment I can't relate anymore I only have 2 pair of shoes. 1 black and 1 rubber shoes. Ana maybe has more but she is paying no attention to the boys so I just ate, I have nothing to say about shoes or homework.

After eating we bid our goodbyes to each other. Next coming days are good as well, I get so busy at school and friends. Lately, I got more invites on either group discussions or a party. My classmates think I'm fun. They invite me just to hear some horror stories or some ghost detection and opinion. It became my part-time job now to do that. I'm officially a horror storyteller. Some of my classmates are comedians unfortunately my forte is horror, what a talent I have. Anyway, I got invited to a lot of birthday celebrations. We watched a horror movie on one occasion, They were so scared after watching the movie, but I teased them even more after. It's about 6 in the afternoon, almost evening and the sky is already dark when we finished the celebration. As we walk on the street on our way home I kept on pointing on some scary place that I said there is a ghost standing and looking at us and how they look. I'm enjoying to see their scared faces. This time I'm the main character the centre of attention. I'm the bravest. Ana is cool about all this ghost thing, she's not scared. Actually, she thinks its fun. Our high school days are less boring. Even though the celebration is simple, still we had fun since we all have a story to tell and everybody can relate somehow. The food is great too. After a long day, it's so good to eat good food. Most importantly, it's free.

At home, I get so tired, so I relaxed a little bit. I didn't realize I had fallen asleep so long. When I woke up, it's already 7:00 o'clock in the morning. I don't have time to do my homework anymore, shower and wash my uniform. So I rushed myself in preparing to go to school I just took whatever is available even the ones I already used. When I get to the classroom I did my homework in a hurry not doublechecking if it is correct. So when the teacher arrived and check it I only get 6 points out of 10. I'm not the lowest but I think, maybe, if only I made it last night my score will be better. It is always like this I can't manage my time when I'm having fun.

It's a hot day, I'm sweating so much. I'm in a bad mood. I don't really wanna talk and be a busy body this day. But now everybody wants my opinion. I'm just nodding and giving some ordinary answers. Still, they recognized my opinion about this and that, they believe my fame gave me the credibility to decide which wallpaper is better, the red one or the blue one. I just pointed whichever and they actually accept it.

I still believe deep inside me that I shouldn't be giving opinions in some matters regarding the room design for the coming event but the other leaders are busy too and besides, I have to live with this fame and deal with my new responsibilities this is my life now.

The leaders are busy on the campus and stage design the ones who are not busy will be doing the room responsibility and help the players on what they will need whether its food or drinks, I'm one of them.

INTRAMURALS

It is the campus sports fest. Everybody is busy, I believe we are less busy compared to the others but we are still extremely busy. We are sports facilitators me and Ana. We don't belong to any games so we bring food and drinks to the athletes. We watch their valuables when they are busy, and do running errands. We get to go around the campus as well which is the best part coz we get to see our crushes on different year levels. Ana has a good camera with her so our photos are of good quality. We went to taekwondo game, Ana's crush is there, a senior student named Martin. He is handsome and tall his fight is most awaited one coz lot of girls like him. So we are watching his match. Even though we are on the side, the sophomore team we still shout his name and cheer for him. Tristan our taekwondo contender is irritated on our glees. He didn't get to fight Martin since their height difference is very far besides Tristan is only 14 while Martin is 16. Only the junior guy he already beat has a good match on him and the other senior who is fighting for 2nd place.

The winner is so obvious, Martin is winning. So, Jerold, the other senior student get the silver medal and Martin gets the gold on this match. Last year it's the same he beat the guy senior to him so he advanced to 2 more levels up to nationals. Though national competition may be too much for Martin he only got bronze on the nationals. This year is his last chance to get a gold medal on the national level. We cheered so hard so he noticed us and wave on our direction.

After the match, Ana wants to give him some water, to get a chance to be near him. So we went, he is so appreciative to his fans. He looks so matured physically and intellectually compared to us. Maybe we will be like this in two years. We can hear the seniors murmuring about us but we don't really care as long as we get close to Martin even just for a day. Other girls do the same, we are not the only admirers of Martin. As we went back among the Sophomores Tristan gave us a sour look.

Tristan: You 2 have no sense of loyalty at all. I've been so nice with the 2 of you lately but I didn't get any congratulatory message from you and you. See that I got gold too.

Ana: Sorry Tristan, we are just excited to mingle with our senior crushes. Congratulations on your gold medal on kids category.

I controlled my laugh with that. Tristan is nice with us but it's just fun to tease him sometimes.

Lourdes: Sorry Tristan, we are just enjoying this day's event. We took a good photo of you earlier we will send it to you on messenger later.

I think Tristan is cool with it, he just wanna play around with us. He joined us to the next game, he helps us carry the jug of orange juice and the water cooler. Now we head to the soccer team. Our team is in 3rd place. Its always like this senior and juniors always beat us, except on swimming. David and Pablo are part of the swimming team. They won 3 golds each.
