Chapter 2 - 9x3=36

The manager got inside of their apartment with an alarm clock ringing in his hand.

Members start squirming, tossing, and covering their ears.

Cairo opened his eyes and the moment his eyes landed on his manager "shit" he blurted out and start waking up his members by kicking them

Their manager shouted "Get up! Wake up! Only four of you can get in the van!"

Cairo still waking up his members by slapping their faces and kicking their butt "Wake up you sleepyheads if you want to be in luxury!"

Clod starting to get annoyed by the ringing sound echoing in their small apartment "Could you kill that annoying clock?! I'm trying to get sleep here!"

Brent sat up while his eyes still closed and start to complain while stomping his feet "Clod ang ingay mo! Umagang umaga English mo naririnig ko! Even at school puro English pati ba naman dito?!"

"It's me again?! It's my morning syndrome don't talk to me I will get some sleep!" Clod said and covered his face blanket

Cairo is busy waking up his members while he is kicking butt Kade his best friend for ten years complained "Aray! Ano ba Cairo hindi porket pinakagwapo ako pag iinitan mo na ako"

He just shrugged umagang umaga puro kasinungalingan ang naririnig nya. Then he tries to wake his other members up. He saw Plea which is the youngest still half-awake which makes him smile dahil nakaisip to ng kalokohan.

Cairo asked the little innocent Plea "Who ate the last piece pizza in the fridge?"

Plea unconsciously said the truth because he is still half awake "It's Plea because he is hungry"

Cairo kicked him jokingly "You are the one! Wake up sleepy head kung ayaw mo maiwan"

Plea painly said "Aray naman! Wala naman akong pasok eh!"

In the end, Cairo gave up on waking his members and just get a bowl of water and splashed on them. "Gising na kayo! Bye!"

The members got shocked with the water splashed on them and hurriedly fix themselves when they realized what is happening.

Zen got on the van with Kade already taking their nap when they heard Cairo.

When Cairo got into the van he was shocked to see his members "Why are you already here?!"

Kade said "Pati ba naman dito ang ingay mo"

Plea run immediately and asked while gasping for air "Putapete naman oh anong oras ba lang?"

Their manager answered "5:30"

"5:30?! Naman manager! 30 minutes pa lang tulog ko!" Reklamo ni Plea

Kade asked him "Kasalanan ko bang nanuod ka pa ng nangunguryenteng nilalang na yon?"

"Si Pickachu yon!" reklamo ni Plea

Zen impatiently asked Plea "Will you ride or nah?"

Plea hurriedly get in "Oo na! Letse naman oh!"

"Let's go!" sigaw ni manager Yean and started the engine and drove.

Cairo open up the window and wave happily with the rest of the members who failed.

Brent shouted while stomping his feet "Hintayin nyo ko! Ayaw ko kasama si lolo!"

Raliu glared at Brent and start to pinch his cheeks "You know gigil na gigil talaga ako sayo"

Clod happily got out of their apartment and still humming "Oh we are the one left?"

"Unfortunately kasama ko kayong dalawa" Raliu said and stared at the envelope that was given by the staff

The rest of the members gathered and opened the envelope"35 pesos?! Going to Lid's Studio?!"

Clod and Brent start to complain "Paano kakasya yon! Hindi kasya yon! Kakain pa kami! Magugutom pa kami!"

While Raliu start to compute "Sobra pa sa atin to"

"Paanong sobra? Tatlo tayo kulang ang 35 na pamasahe!" Reklamo ni Clod

Brent start negotiating on the staffs "Anong gusto niyo? Sasayaw ako dagdagan nyo pera namin! What would you like? Katutubo? Hiphop? Ballad? Dirty? Energet--"

Raliu covered his mouth and gave the staffs a smile and dragged Brent to the terminal "Use your brain not your mouth. Sakto lang to sa atin"

Clod followed the two and still confused and computing in his mind why Raliu said it is enough "9×3= 36 kulang pa ng piso! Mali ka naman Raliu eh!"

Cairo and the other members are at the Lid's studio already getting ready for their hair and make up while eating their breakfast.
