"What took them so long?" reklamo ko habang nakadukdok sa table.

Kaming apat nalang nina Kaz, Heira, at Aldrin ang nasa Kalasag. We are waiting for Tanya and Thalia. Naisipan nilang gumala kaya heto kami, nag-hihintay sa Kalasag kaysa pumasok sa klase.

We're excuse at the same time lazy as fuck.

Lahat ng writers ay umuwi na kasi nga pwede na. Buti nalang din at hindi nagtagal dito si Vren kanina, iniwan niya lang yung gamit niya.

He's fucking annoying.

Napa-angat ako ng tingin nang tumawa si Aldrin.

"Baklang 'to napakabugnutin," aniya habang nakatingin sa salamin ng hawak niya.

"By the way, who's the gay you are talking to earlier, Lexi? A participant?" biglang tanong ni Heira kaya napatingin kami kay Kaz at natawa.

"As far as I remember, he said he was Vance Dascenzo," I said while looking on Kaz.

She raised her brow to me.

"Nice, let's try to search it," Heira said while facing her phone.

"Go bakla," sabi naman ni Aldrin na nasa tabi niya at nakasilip din sa cellphone.

Naka-kunot ang noo ni Heira habang nakatingin sa phone.

"Sure kayo? Gay talaga 'to?"

"Same reaction," Kaz said.

"He's handsome and hot as fuck," Heira whispered while looking at her phone.

"True bakla, kung nakita mo lang si Kaz kanina," Aldrin said, mocking Kaz.

"Legit," gatong ko. "I bet Kaz is silently praying right now for Vance to win the contest."

"Epal, sana rito nalang talaga si Vren," bawi niya.

I immediately gave her a death glare.

"Sisipain kita palipat ng English," sabi ko sa kaniya pero tinawanan lang ako.

"I don't know bakla ah pero bakit nagtaka lang siya kanina sa sinabi mo? Hindi man lang affected?" Aldrin asked.

I also wondered why? He have the guts to show up huh? Perhaps, he doesn't know the owner of the article he stole.

"Maybe, playing innocent?" I asked.

"Right," Heira agreed. "I think he will be your contender for EIC position, especially that Kreigh is on English now."

"Oo nga, dati nasa Editorial box natin siya dahil sa article mo. Pero ngayon, siya mismo ang nasa Kalasag," parang nananakot na sinabi ni Kaz.

I smirked perilously.

"I'm not threatened though, let's see his best."

Bukod sa 'kin, si Kreigh ang isa sa mga gustong maging EIC. Well, all of us wanted it, but not so persuasive unlike me. Ever since it's my dream.

Napatingin kaming apat nang biglang bumukas yung pinto. Magkasunod na pumasok si Tanya at Thalia.

"Finally," Heira said.

"Saan tayo mga bakla?" tanong agad ni Thalia nang makalapit sa 'min.

"Oo nga?" Kaz asked too.

Nagtaas ng kamay bigla si Tanya. "Sa foodpark malapit dito. May promo raw sa isang samgyupsal doon!"

We all agree to Tanya's suggestion. Walking distance and there's promo.

"Lakarin nalang natin mga bakla. Malapit lang naman dito sa Gorostiza 'yon," suggest ni Aldrin.
