Chapter 150: Prof. Nate

“All those in favor of implementing Plan B,” Kate says, which is how she watched Dion do it last year, “please say ‘Aye’.” “Aye,” everyone says. “Aye aye, cap’n,” Terra says. “All those opposed?” Kate asks. Silence. “Any abstention?” Silence. “The motion is carried,” she proclaims. “We will be implementing Plan B and Nate will be the one to execute it.” Kate picks up the claw hammer and bangs it on the pad of her armchair. As she does, the SD card bounces up. Gasps are heard from everywhere in the room. “Yiii!!” Kate’s eyes widen while the SD card flies as though in slow motion. In a split-second, she’s torn between catching and recoiling away from it, as though it was the last of an endangered species of butterfly. A little anti-climactically, the SD card lands noiselessly on the floor. “I’m so sorry,” Kate says as she doubles over on her armchair to pick it up. Straightening, she blows on the tiny device like a kid employing the 5-Second Rule. “Don’t worry, Kate,” Terra

Chapter 151: Suzanne

“Okay,” he says, finally putting down the marker and turning to the audience like a teacher. “Who here knows how to fold a Suzanne?” “A what?” Kate asks. “Suzanne. It’s the perfect paper plane. It currently holds the world record for farthest distance flown. It holds the unbeaten record of 226 feet and 10 inches.” “Whoa,” the council members mumble. “Why does it have a girl’s name?” Francine asks. “That’s because John Collins, the guy who designed the paper plane, named it after his wife.” “Aww,” all the girls intone. “That’s sweet.” “All right,” Nate says. “I know how to fold and make a Suzanne. But one of you guys will have to throw it.” “I think Babylee should do it,” Kate says. “She’s got the strongest arm among us.” “I’m afraid it’s not just a matter of strength,” Nate says. “Brute force risks ripping the plane. The thrower must understand the technical aspects, the physics of flight. “Gosh…” Kate mutters nervously. “It’s okay,” Nate says. “We have time. Let’s review th

Chapter 152: Rooftop Memories

“I’ll do it,” Kate finally says when no one seems eager to volunteer. “Good,” Nate says. “How about the rooftop? Do we have access to it?” “Maybe if we borrowed the key from the janitor,” Babylee says. “But that would raise questions about our plan.” Silence. Another chime from the school intercom makes them all look up. “Attention. Attention, students. Will Nathaniel Policarpio please report to Principal Aguilar’s office?” It’s followed by the same distant roar of feminine screams and gossip. Kate imagines the rest of the students in the STEM building, most of them unaware of what’s going on, can’t wait for the school bell to ring for lunch. They’re in for a big surprise, not only because of Cyber but also the new security arrangements at the exits. Kate feels a blast of envy at their carefree ignorance. She wishes she too only had the upcoming midterms to think about, and not the fate of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in CITS. Terra lets out a deep sigh and says: “I can hack

Chapter 153: Crash Landing on You

“You want me to do it, Kate?” Babylee offers. She shakes her head. She’s been doing warm-up exercises to loosen her body, especially windmill arm exercises. The Suzanne is safely resting in the center of the rooftop, atop Terra’s briefly-door-key spiral notebook. “No, I have to be the one to do it,” Kate replies as she continues psyching herself up, looking as though she was a pole-vaulter about to launch herself over the building’s edge. “You and Terra just keep a lookout for the movement of security guards below.” Kate’s now standing on the south edge of the building. The heavily guarded and screened building exit is actually on the southwest corner of the first floor. Terra is discreetly peering down there now, scanning it for patrolling guards, while Babylee is crouched closer to where Kate is, keeping watch for both patrolling guards and the rare passing vehicle on Campus Drive. At first, Kate worried about Terra because the last time he was here he was stripped down to hi

Chapter 154: Suspicions

Kate is staring at the Principal’s List posted on the glass-encased bulletin board next to the door of the principal’s office. It’s Friday, a week after midterms. Later, their report cards would be handed to them individually for them to show their parents. Whether it’s safe for them to face their parents’ immediate reaction upon seeing their grades depends on the student, but in Kate’s case, she’s got nothing to worry about. In fact, there’s a reason to celebrate because she’s managed to retain the title of valedictorian this quarter. Still, one of Kate’s eyebrows is raised because Nate has also managed to do the same with his salutatorian ranking. What’s even more incredible, the difference between their GWAs is just .222 points: | Academic Excellence PRINCIPAL’S LIST School Year 2019 – 2020 | FIRST QUARTER | GRADE 12 | No. | Name | Strand | Section | GWA | Award | 1 | LAPUZ, Rapunzel Kate | STEM | Everest | 96.889 | VALEDICTORIAN 2 | POLICARPIO, Nathaniel | STEM | Ever

Chapter 155: Nate's Confession

Striding down the corridor, Francine can’t stop glancing at her smartphone screen. The last email from Susan Landicho, the assistant at the Julius Tenorio Fashion Photography studio, sounded like an ultimatum: | Susan Landicho 7:10 AM to me ˅ | We’re on a tight schedule with the boudoir shoot so we’ll need you to come to our studio in Las Piñas ASAP. Are you up for it or should we find another model? | Right after midterms, Susan kept emailing her and telling her to “stop wasting time” and to not “miss this golden opportunity” because she was lucky such a great and well-connected photographer like Julius was taking the time to consider her at all, who had zero professional experience and only amateur photos in her comp card. Susan calmed down when Francine finally sent a couple photos of her in lingerie (which she only captured with her smartphone and took her a whole lot of outtakes). Last night though, it sounded like the boudoir shoot had been moved forward again and, this

Chapter 156: Big Bro, Little Bro

Third period has already started and Nate is alone in the boys’ bathroom. He’s breathing hard. He’s angry – at himself, at Kate. He’s so weak. He supposes he has quite forgotten the fact that his body is still broken, but what Kate did was a harsh reminder to him of that. He has never felt so helpless. As helpless as a baby. He could understand when Mr. Romero did it. Mr. Romero didn’t know what harm the signal jammer could do to one of his students. But Kate? She, of all people, should’ve known better than to use it like a toy or, worse, a weapon. Nate feels like punching someone, breaking something. He wonders if he can get away with a little vandalism of the bathroom mirrors. The tile walls are sparkling clean but the plastic partitions of the toilet cubicles aren’t free of graffiti. The graffiti is mostly the word “gay”, dick and boob doodles, and “your mom” jokes. He hasn’t seen any CCTV either. First things first. He has to answer nature’s call because his bladder is close to

Chapter 157: The Boogeyman

{For the past 28 days, Francine has been communicating with a man named Jayrus Trocio a.k.a. Julius Tenorio a.k.a. Susan Landicho. Jayrus Trocio is a 34-year-old psychotherapist who also dabbles in photography. But through my Internet sleuthing, I’ve discovered that Jayrus Trocio is in fact the notorious “Boogeyman” that is wanted by the police. He’s an elusive kidnapper and sex-trafficker.} Nate sees flashes of Francine’s Gnnail inbox, some pictures in her phone’s gallery that are rather risqué, socmed photos of the man called Jayrus Trocio, and a little tabloid coverage about the mysterious “Boogeyman”. {The Boogeyman’s modus operandi is to set up a fake photo-shoot and put Rohypnol a.k.a. roofies in a drink that he then offers the victim. Once inside his blacked-out van, the victim is never seen again. The Boogeyman gets the young girls addicted to drugs and turns them into prostitutes, forcing them to star in webcam striptease performances.} {Based on my calculations of

Chapter 158: Cutting Class

Kate has cut class only twice in her entire secondary-school life. Both instances happened last year, which says a lot about the late blossoming of her rebelliousness. The first one was to watch Goyo: The Boy General in the cinema and fangirl with the other Bali Girls over Paulo Avelino. The second was with her ex Josh and his gang, the Retaliators, because it was Intrams (Intramural Sports) Week and they were bored doing nothing. On both occasions, she and the other students trekked a bit to a secluded portion of the campus’s perimeter walls and went through a hole in some rusty chain-link fencing. They all ducked under a skirt-like gap and Kate was amazed at how knowledge of the off-trail route had been passed on orally across different batches of students but, despite the way the path looked much trodden, first-section students had stayed largely clueless about it. Presently, Kate supposes Francine took the same open-secret exit during recess. She and Nate are in the parking lot

Chapter 159: Faster Than Light

Physics I teacher Mr. Mercado once mentioned to Everesters how an old Superman movie popularized a misconception of the formula for time dilation (per Einstein’s Special Relativity). To be precise, the reigning fan theory and superhero movie logic is “move faster than light to go back in time”. Kate has no doubt that superheroes employ a great deal of oversimplified science. But what the naysayers might be overlooking is the fact that the whole notion of time travel, of changing the past, fills an emotional rather than a logical need. From this perspective, a 250cc Kawasaki Ninja could indeed reach superluminal speed, and time travel would fit in the equation too because the past, the present and the future are all mere illusions after all. Memory is a byproduct of thought; nothing tangible. Instead of a mathematical impossibility, time travel is a stab at redemption by the illogical human heart. Because of the adrenalin pumping in her veins, the memory-laden street falls into slo
