CHAPTER ONE

“TODAY'S a big day, Hain! Anong organization ang sasalihan mo?” Pangungulit sakanya ni Lucas, her best friend.

“I don't know yet, okay? Alam mo namang bawal mag stay sa isang organization kapag two years ka na. Ewan ko ba sa university na ito at ang daming arte!” Naiinis niyang sabi.

Lucas laughed at her misery. She's a year older than him that's why Lucas isn't problematic like her.

“Umalis ka na nga sa harapan ko! Nakakairita ka, akala ko ba best friends tayo?”

Lucas shook his head, “Oo nga, best friends tayo kaya nga I love to annoy you!”

“Layas! Doon ka na sa girlfriend mo, baliw ka. Maghahanap ako new organization ko pero ayokong kasama ka, baka masuntok lang kita,” Natatawang aniya at tinulak-tulak na ito palayo sakanya.

Finally, Lucas left her alone. Agad siyang naglakad papuntang court kung nasaan ang mga booth ng university organizations. There's this weird rule in their university na dapat lumipat ka ng organization after two years para raw makapag-explore ka and maybe, to gain more friends around their university.

Binigay na sakanya kahapon ni Hideo ang transfer slip niya na kailangan niyang papirmahan once na nakapili na siya nang lilipatang organization.

She's from the cheerleading squad, the Rebels which was led by Hideo, now her former cheer captain.

What if dance troupe na lang? Or photography organization? Journalism?

She sighed as she continued to walk while looking at every booth she passed by. Hindi talaga siya sigurado kung saan siya sasali. Oo nga at maraming booth sakanila kaso naman, karamihan ay sobrang strict at maraming requirements.

“Hi! Kanina pa kita napapansin and I think you might be interested in joining us,” a petite beautiful woman approached her.

She smiled awkwardly at her, “Hey, What's your organization ba?” she asked.

“Theater organization! Actually, we're planning to role-play RiverTown. Familiar ka ba sa jetflix series na iyon? The main character suits you well. Blond hair, green eyes, and a curvy body,” the woman explained excitedly.

Napakamot siya ng ilong sa mga sinabi nito. She may suit the main character, but the problem is, she doesn't know how to act.

“Whoa, whoa, can you please calm down?” aniya sa babae.

The woman laughed and shook her head, “Oo nga pala, I'm sorry! I just got very excited when I saw you. Pwedeng pwede ka kasi. I'm Keirra Amherst, by the way,” anito at nakipag shake hands sakanya.

“I'm Hussain Sotelo, nice meeting you. I would like to join sana, Keirra, but I don't know how to act.”

“You don't have to worry naman, Hussain. May workshop tayo everyday for one hour,” pangungumbinsi nito sakanya.

She sighed in defeat, might as well try it, “Alright, sasali na ako.”

Keirra squealed and hugged her tight out of too much happiness that's very evident in her face.

Hinawakan siya nito sa siko at hinila, “Let's go in our organization room. Doon mo na lang meet ang president natin and papirmahan ang transfer slip mo, ayos lang?”

She nodded in response and let Keirra dragged her to their destination.

TYMO sighed as he continued to sign and review some papers that is needed to their office before he can get his transfer slip.

Absent siya kahapon kaya hindi niya nagawa ang requirements na kailangan para makuha ang transfer slip na importante kapag lilipat na ng organization. Hindi rin naman pwede na hindi siya lumipat kasi pwede siyang bumagsak sa ibang minor subjects na ang lakas maka-feeling major.

Isa sa mga disadvantages talaga kapag sa isang international university ka nag-aral since grade school until secondary.

“Teusz!” Tawag sakanya ni Sin, isa sa mga matalik niyang kaibigan.

“What?” Tanong niya habang busy pa rin sa ginagawa.

Tinapik ni Sin ang balikat niya, “Theater organization is finally open, you in? Ikaw na lang inaantay namin,” anito.

He nodded, “Yes, I'm in. We've been planning to join since last year, right? Why wouldn't I be in, you bastard.”

Sin laughed and left him, so he can focus on finishing his requirements.

Script writing is something he is passionate about other than drawing. He's been eyeing the theater organization since last year after they found out about the scriptwriters position.

He and his friends are some group of writers in different genres. If he loves to write about the broken, Sin loves to write some erotica, then the others are thriller, adventure, romance, and everything.

“Kevin, I'm done with these papers. Where will I pass them?” he asked Kevin, the vice president of Journalism Organization.

“Kay Emily mo ipasa iyang mga papeles, Teusz.”

Agad siyang kumilos at dinala ang mga papel sa office ni Emily, ang president nila.

“Hey, Teusz! Tapos mo na lahat?” Tanong nito sakanya habang nakangiti.

“Yeah, Can I have my transfer slip now?” he asked politely.

Emily nodded and handed him his transfer slip, “Good luck on the Theater organization, Teusz!”

He just smiled at her and immediately left the office to ran in their groups room.

“Guys! I finally got my transfer slip!” Salubong niya sa mga ito na agad na napangiti nang makita siya.

Everyone is present. From the boys to the girls in their group are there.

“Finally! You're so slow, Teusz! What if they suddenly close the organization!?” Micka hissed at him.

“There there, Micka. Huwag masyadong high blood, Alam naman natin kung bakit 'yan biglang absent kahapon,” singit ni James sakanila.

“Oo na! Let's just go.”

Kumilos na sila at nagpuntang Theater organization na nasa fourth floor pa. Sira pa naman ang elevator sa Mapeh building.

“Hi! Mag apply kayo?” Bungad sakanila ng isang babae.

He nodded, “Uhm, yes. We're hoping for the scrip writers position if it's still available.”

The woman smiled at them, “Tamang tama lang kayo kasi lumipat na rin mga scriptwriters namin. Mag fill up na lang kayo ng form doon sa main desk, makikita niyo kapag pasok niyo jan sa pinto.”

They thanked the woman, and they immediately entered the door after knocking thrice.

As they entered the room, he roamed his eyes around feeling amazed with the surrounding.

The reason why he bumped into a woman.

“I'm very sorry, Miss.” he apologized and helped her with her things that she dropped when they bumped into each other.

He heard the woman sighed.

“It's okay. It's also my fault, I wasn't looking.” she replied.

Her cold voice filled his ear that made him look at her. To his shock, the woman is actually looking at him. Blond hair, green eyes, and a stoic face.

He felt intimidated all of a sudden kaya agad niyang iniwas ang tingin niya dito.

“I'm sorry again.”

“I said it's fine, no worries.” sambit muli nito at dali-daling tumayo at umalis na.

Before he can even call her again, a man jogged towards the woman, and he encircled his arms on her shoulders.

I guess, she's taken. Kaya siguro nagmamadali kasi may naghihintay.
