CHAPTER 45
GIO, PRESENT TIME
“Room 1924,” Lou’s friend smilingly said to me. She’s familiar. I might saw her from Lou’s IG stories before.
“He’s still unconscious but everything is okay. No fractures, just only bruises.” She added. She patted my shoulder and they started to walk again.
“Thank you so much” and I sobbed.
“You should probably check him” She replied and turned around at me. Before they left, I looked at them and Adem was looking at me.
I went to the elevator and get inside of it. Probably, it’s the top floor. I clicked numbers and the elevator closes.
I opened the door of room 1924 and rapidly get inside of it. Lou is now lying in the bed wearing a hospital gown. He looks pale and sick. I touched his forehead and it’s hot as the sun. I saw paracetamol medicines and I think he has a fever. I think
CHAPTER 46Days AfterThe accident that happened days ago is trending in our school. Most of the students are mad at the admins of the school. They didn’t put enough mats for the cheer dance competition. Some of the students feel annoyed because of Lou and their group coach. They said that every performer must be checked individually.In my own opinion, both parties are at fault and the one who’s responsible for this. So far, Lou’s sister is not coming into our school yet to asked what happened. I hope they wouldn’t fabricate anything and accept their mistakes. They should learn from this lesson from now on. Risking life without any assurance will make things worse.Our classes were shortened because of the investigations that will be happening later. I decided to visit Lou because it’s days now since my last visit. I want to check his condition.He was now awake. I heard from
CHAPTER 47LOUWe proceeded to the exit of the hospital and I saw Kuya Sam is waiting for us. He helped me and handed me the bags we are carrying.“Welcome back, Sir Lou!” He greeted me cheerfully.“Hello, Kuya Sam! It’s been a while!”“How are you, Sir?”“I am perfectly fine, Kuya!”“Ohh that’s good to hear! You must go inside sir and we will leave now!” he said and I followed what he was said. I am now beside my sister who is busy on her phone.“Where’s my phone, sis?” I asked her.“It’s in the house.” She replied sparingly without looking. Jeez. I told her to bring it. I am excited to use it again. I became bored in the hospital looking in the walls and ceiling.Gladly, Gio bought a book for me howsoever, I get entertained. Though, it’s a cliffhanger. I don
CHAPTER 48LOUIt’s now Tuesday and we have classes as usual. We didn’t have any classes yesterday because they gave everyone an ample amount of time to prepare for the filmmaking. The students had a special project that serves as a requirement for the foundation week. Since we won’t be able to do the cheer dance again, the admins and staff came up with this idea.I am now on a tricycle heading to the jeep terminal going to our school when my phone suddenly vibrates. I look at it and it’s from our squad group chat. They are asking me yesterday until today what I didn’t take the director’s position. They seemed disappointed with my decision.I am not replying to any of their messages. I am just ignoring it. I will explain it later clearly to all of them so they will not be confused with my reasons.The tricycle I am riding stops. I turned my gaze outside and I finally rea
CHAPTER 49LOUMa’am Jessa dismissed us and some of my classmates headed home immediately to prepare for their shoot. I have plans today with my grade 10 friends so I won’t be able to come home early.Time check, it’s noon. 12:30. The weather is too humid which makes me sweat. The weather continuously rising the sign that summer is nearly approaching. To be honest, I am excited about our summer vacation because I can now finally dye my hair, go to beaches, and have peace temporarily before transferring to another school. Can’t wait for that to happen.I am now in the tricycle heading to Caye’s house when my phone suddenly vibrates. By the way, I am on the backside of the tricycle the reason it’s hard to move and get my phone.I tried getting my phone slowly and when I hold it tightly so it won’t fall on the ground. I opened it using the Face ID unlock and headed to
CHAPTER 50LOU“Okay. Here’s the result” Everyone became silent again as Kath started speaking.“The losers are...” it feels like there is a drum roll effect that is now playing in our ears. I looked at my friends and they looked nervous as well. Hmm, I think this isn’t scripted because they will not feel the same as much as I do if this is a prank.“The losers are Lester, Eloisa, and Jane” and we sighed as we heard the losers. We also laughed because of the reaction of the three. Hoogh! I feel relieved.“How???” Eloisa asked herself unbelievably.“You seem confident earlier, huh!” I teased her.“This is unexpected! Waaaah!” she screamed.“Go there and just drink it! Make sure you consume it! Turn around the cup so we can see if it’s fully gone” Joshua said smiling devilishly.
CHAPTER 51LOUI get a plate again and put a portion of pasta on it. The merienda has started and everyone is busy getting food from table. There are two variations in the pasta category. There are spaghetti and carbonara. I can feel that we are now surrounded by Italian cuisine.There are also desserts such as cupcakes, cookies, and coffee jelly. I get one each from the three and headed to my seat.“Joshua? What time you will go later?” I asked Joshua beside me without looking.“Hey?” When I noticed that he’s not answering, I looked at my side and my eyes widened when I see Gio who’s quietly eating.“He’s there!” Gio said and he pointed out Joshua.“Oh. I’m sorry” I apologized embarrassedly.A moment of silence started in between Gio and me when he suddenly ruined it. “How are you?” I am surprised when
CHAPTER 52LOU“Do you still remember the time where we make a pandesal?” Joshua asked and everyone laughs because of it.“That’s the hardest activity that sir assigned to us,” Syrel said.“True!!!” Gedie agreed.“One of the untidiest practicums due to the fails in dough making,” Joshua said.“Because the procedures and ingredients he said aren’t accurate!” Syrel complains.“That’s the reason why! Imagine, we put exact water into the dough but it’s not enough. When we poured all the water, we are in lack of flour. We can’t achieve the desired consistency” We were amused when Gio spoke suddenly.“W-why? What’s the matter?” he asked while looking at us shyly.“We just get shocked by your reaction,” Syrel said while smirking and controlling her laughte
CHAPTER 53THE NEXT DAYLOUI arrived home late last night because it’s hard to find a tricycle passing by to our location at that time. I don’t know. There is no occasion yesterday to be the reason for it. Caye’s house is not that far from our home. It’s just a few kilometers away.When I reached our house, I began creating my special project so I can finish and pass it to the school director early. I don’t want to cram anymore since I am now exempted from the filmmaking activity. I might hear some reproach from the other students.After doing my project, I sleep to have enough energy that I am going to use for today.~*~I am with Leila and Felicity today because I am going to help them with their films. This will be a betrayal act for my strand but I want to make them mad. The director of the HUMSS strand is too boastful and I want to
