"Crystal, you should start practicing for Literature Month. I need your club to be ready and need to perform well." Teacher Alfonso said.

"I'll make sure everything will be ready sir, I just need some time to gather all the actors so that I could discuss to them the play they going to act in. As of now, we need an audition for the main role though, the supporting roles are ready." I answered. 

We are in the middle of a meeting right now, it is already two in the afternoon, and yet I still didn't eat my lunch. There is so much stuff I need to do in preparation for Literature Month.

"Okay, I know you and the club will do well," Sir Alfonso look at his wristwatch for the time.

"I think nasabi ko na and lahat ng kailangang i-discuss. Althea, kindly complete the minutes of the meeting and then send them to me. Meeting adjourned."pinal na utos ni Sir Alfonso kay Althea na secretary ng club namin. Tumango naman ito at nagsimula nang magligpit ng kanyang mga gamit. Agad namang nagsimulang mag-ayos and iba pa naming kasamahan.

"Guys, I think we could conduct the audition this Saturday, what do you think?" suhestiyon ko habang binubuksan ko and aking backpack. I look at my watch to see na 20 minutes before the last period na lang and natitira kong time. I am the president of our club which is the Literature club. And currently, I'm a junior high student at Saint Louis College.

"Pwede din, pero don't you think mas maganda na kumuha na lang tayo sa drama club ng actor?" sagot naman ni Cholo, and treasurer ng club namin.

"Hindi pwede kasi ayon kay Sarah may sarili din silang play na itatanghal, and and pagkakaalam ko meron silang competition next month kaya todo practice sila. Hindi nila kakayanin pang tumanggap ng iba pang extra curricular." paliwanag ni Alex. Girlfriend niya si Sarah kaya naman hindi dudang alam nito ang activities ng drama club.

"Para sa akin, sang-ayon ako sa suhestiyon ni Pres. Mas maganda na magpa-audition na lang tayo para mas lalo pa nating makilatis ang babagay sa role. I think marami ang may gustong sumali lalo na't andito si Pres." natatawang sangayon ni Althea sa akin. Tinignan ko lang ito ng masama na mas lalong nagpataa sa kanya.

"We will discuss the further details on the group chat later, kung may mga concern pa kayo wede niyong sabihin mamaya." sagot ko habang handa nang umalis. Nagpaalam na ako sa kanila at tuluyan nang umalis.

The next day at lunchtime, katatapos lang magpaalam ang aming teacher at nagmamadali na ang lahat sa pagliligpit ng kani-kanilang mga gamit. Tumingin ako kay Gia para tignan kung tapos na siya sa pagliligpit ng kanyang mga gamit, she look at me and nod. We need to move fast. 

I glance once more to the wall clock fixed in our wall just right above the whiteboard and it displays 11:45 am. Buti na lang talaga at maaga kaming dinismiss ngayon. Sa tingin ko kami pa lang ang unang klase na pinalabas para mag-lunch.

Gia is still putting liptint on her lips when I decided to go out. Maalinsangang hangin ang sumalubong sa akin. Sumandal muna ako sa hamba ng pinto, nag-aalinlangang lumabas at pinag-iisipan pa kung susuotin pa din ang jacket.

I look up to the blue sky, the sun is doing its work seriously. Tumingin akong muli kay Gia kung tapos na ito, I sighed when she is not done yet with her face. Ngayon ay mascara naman ang kanyang nilalagay.

"Ginger Amara  F. Trinidad, tara na." tawag ko sa kanyang buong pangalan at tinignan siya ng mariin, ngumiti lang to sa akin pabalik. I just rolled my eyes to her.
