I was still yawning when I arrived at school. The buses were already lined up in the parking lot and only a few students were present yet. The 5:30 a.m. call time seemed to be a difficult feat for most, as expected.
I yawned again as I signed in on the attendance sheet handed over by our class adviser. I couldn’t help but stay up late last night devising a strategy. I just wanted to make sure that I would be able to tell Yana of my feelings properly.
So, these were the main points I had to remember: Place, Timing, Mood, and Action. There were sub-items in the outline but they were too detailed to mention. After a quick review, I slipped my mini notebook back into my bag when I spotted Maris sitting at the waiting area.
“Excited for the trip?” she said to me the moment I joined her. Maybe she could tell I was agitated, or had noticed the bags under my eyes.
