Pang-aasar ni Sam, vice-captain ng Silver Valley Volleyball Team, bago pa man iwanan si Karl at Andrew na nagpapalit pa ng damit sa club room.Nagkatinginan naman ang dalawa with a silent conversation of Si vice-captain talaga kahit kailan."Karl." Tawag ni Andrew ng makalabas ang kanilang vice-captain sa club room."Hmm?" Busy naman si Karl sa pagpapalit ng kanyang pantalon.“I’ve changed my mind.” Wika ni Andrew tsaka na humarap ito kay Karl. "Why don’t you live with me for real?"Napalingon naman si Karl kay Andrew na nakatitig na sakanya."What’s with the change of heart? I asked you about it so many times before pero sabi mo ayaw mo."

“Nandito na ba si Andrew?” Pagtatanong ni Karl ng makarating ito sa club room. “Di ba sya nagsabi sayo?” Pagtatanong naman ni Sam na nagpapalit ng t-shirt. Umiling naman si Karl. “Isa yang masamang pangitain.” Agad namang napalingon si Karl sa umakbay sakanya. “Pag nagsimula ng hindi magsabi sayo ang tao ibig sabihin may iba-“ agad naman syang napatigil sa sasabihin nya ng binato ito sa mukha ng bola ni Dale, captain ng Silver Valley Volleyball Team, na nagpapalit din ng t-shirt sa tabi ni Sam. “Imbis na kung ano-ano ang sabihin mo dyan Troy, magpalit ka na!” sigaw ni Dale sakanya.

Black and white symbolize a lot of things in life. Black represents evil, darkness, night, and despair. It's the color used to convey certainty and authority, and when used in opposition with white, it's a symbol of the eternal struggle between day and night, good and evil, and right and wrong. These two colors also represent mourning, purity and perfection of the deceased person's spirit.   In the hall, everyone wears either of the two color.

His breath was unsteady and his legs were trembling from the combination of cold and perhaps from the rush he made of the warehouse heading to the place where his mind takes him. He was no longer wearing any shoes. His pants were grubby on their knees from the constant stumbling and falling on the ground.   At one last turn, he stepped on the grass, falling on his knees in front
