Chapter 15: Preperations
A week later (In class)
"As you guys know next month there will be a sports competition held in our school, like every other year but this time other colleges will also take a part, so that means we have to decorate our school better than ever and leave a good presentation." Mr. Sam explained.
"So does that mean that this whole month we will just decorate?" A classmate said excitedly.
"No, we will do the preparations in my period, so it does not mean that you guys won't study or have homework during this month." Mr. Sam stood up, with some papers in his hand. "Now who wants to participate in the competition? you can fill this paper up and submit before the due date."
I never took and never will take a part in this, like last year I will just help with preparations. They always play football, basketball and some other activities like running and stuff that I don't like. Why don't they add a eating competition? Not that I can win just so I can take part, eat until i'm full and lose.
"You should take a part, you would definitely win." Alex said mockingly.
"I know." I said giving him a smug look, joking back.
"I will for sure take part again." Brian said turning back.
"I can see it, you will win."
"I didn't know you can see the future." Hazen crossed his arms on his chest.
"I can." I say proudly even though I can't.
"Then how's my future?" Hazen tilts his head.
"Dark." I joke.
"That means you're in there." Hazen mock smiles.
"I can see myself in a cruise." Alex said with a proud look.
"Drowning?" I raise my eyebrow.
Brian chuckled.
"Yeah, drowning in money." Alex smirked.
Hazen sighed clearly annoyed by Alex.
"Was that for me?" Alex said scoffing, his eyes on Hazen.
Hazen doesn't answer.
"He's too scared of me to answer." Alex leans back in his chair.
Hazen scoffs in response.
"Don't forget that I always used to win you." Hazen said.
"Because I let you." Alex said.
They knew each other all this time?
"Win at what?" I fold my lips inwards
controlling my laugh as I think about something funny.
"What's so funny?" Alex raised his eyebrow.
"Nothing." My lips still folded inwards.
"Say it." Alex said.
"I wanna laugh, just say it."
"It's just a stupid unfunny thing." I explain.
"Share it." Alex insists.
"I suddenly remembered that I had to take out the trash when I looked at you."
Alex stares at me in silent.
Brian burst out laughing.
"But I forgot, my mom will scold me." I say in seriousness.

"Oh finally." I get up and go towards Marina.
"Maybe you wouldn't forget if you saw yourself first thing in the morning." Alex says loudly looking back at me.
"Forget it, it's too late, we already laughed at you." Hazen said also getting up.
Me and Marina walk to the schoolyard chuckling.
-------
A week passed we are in the school hall, decorating it.
"Lia can you go the library? Ms. Amelia left some decorations supplies there that we can use." Mr. Sam said.
"Ok." I get down from the ladder.
Marina got on it and started decorating the wall.
I go downstairs and ask for the library keys.
"Woah it's dark in here." I say in a low voice as I open the library door and enter.
I look around trying to find the decoration supplies.
"There's nothing here."
After looking for a while I walk to a bookshelf were I see a box on top of it.
"Found it."
I tip toe to reach it. I felt someone tower over me, an arm reached up to grab the box.
I froze for a minute.
"Don't worry, it's me." Hazen whispered.
I turn around rapidly.
"What are you doing here?" I ask.
"I thought you might need help."
"I didn't need any help."
"Really?"
"Yes."
"Alright." He said leaving the box up there.
He stepped back leaning on a table as he watched me intently.
I clear my throat and tip toe again reaching the box. I could feel his eyes on me.
After several jumps and tries, I breath out.
I take a chair and place it besides the bookshelf and step on it.
"This is easy." I say reaching up to the box.
I could reach the box but it was too heavy to move.
