Chapter 4 - Chapter III

"AFTERNOON MEETING"

N: As Alyssa entered the room, Pres. Mary called out to her to remind everyone in the group chat that they had a meeting at 4 pm.

Alyssa nodded, and quickly messaged everyone in the group chat to be here at 4pm sharp, and if they arrive late, they will pay the late fee, which is 10 pesos.

"Pres. Mary, the representative from each year, said that they still have a class and might be late," Alyssa said.

"Tell them it's fine but they still have to pay the late fee." Pres. Mary said as she got seated at the teacher's desk.

Alyssa nodded as she messaged them in the group chat. Pres. Mary then continued by saying, "Let's start the meeting, shall we?"

Everyone nodded, as Pres. Mary stood up and wrote on the board plans for Valentine's Day.

"I want everyone's participation and suggestions on what we're going to prepare for Valentine's Day. Just raise your hand if you have any," Pres. Mary said.

Alyssa raised her hand and stood up as she explained, "How about a secret confession announcement where we give students a notepad to write their confession with?"

"Like, we should open a booth for confessions." Pres. Mary asked.

Alyssa nodded, as she added, "Yep, after they write down their confession to someone, they can put it in this jar that I brought."

Pres. Mary giggled, as she added, "You are always one step ahead when it comes to crushes, but I do like your idea. I'll write it down, Alyssa Confession Booth Announcement," she said, before proceeding to ask the other officers. "Any other ideas, besides Alyssa?" She inquired.

Angel Nicole raised her hand, as she stood up "I would like to add to Ate Alyssa's idea. It's the same as writing it on a notepad, but this time it's on a sticky note where we put students' confessions on the board besides our booth. " She explained

"It's also a good idea, but we already have the announcement confession" Pres. Mary inquires.

"Well, Ate Alyssa's idea is for those brave enough to announce it publicly, but this confession board is for those who are shy to announce it," Angel Nicole added.

"You do have a point. Okay, I'll write it down. Angel confession board" Pres. Mary said, as she added.

Before she could continue, a few minutes later, the rest of the officers arrived as they quickly apologized to Pres. Mary and took their seats.

"All right, since everyone is here, let's continue where we left off. For those who were late, we already have two ideas Alyssa Confession announcement booth and Angel Nicole Confession board" Pres. Mary said. "So, any ideas for Valentine's Day to those who were late?"

Angel Grace raised her hand, as she stood up "How about serenade requests to their crushes? We will be the ones who will fulfill their request to sing in front of their crush. After we are done singing, the person who requested it will come out at the end to surprise them," she explained.

"So, fulfilling the request of the students?"Pres. Mary asked Angel Grace.

Angel then nodded, as she added while asking "Should be fun and tiring, but it's worth a try, right?"

"Sure, why not? But, who is going to sing? " Aiyane agreed as she asked.

"Since it's angel idea, she will decide who is going to sing and play the guitar with her." Pres. Mary said, as she pointed at the angel and asked, "So, who will sing with you?"

"I chose two people to sing with me. Rose Jasmin and Aiyane, and for the guitar, I'll find a guy to play it," Angel said.

"Good, since Angel's idea has already been settled. Let's go over Alyssa and Angel Nicole's ideas since both of you decided on a booth. " Pres. Mary said, "After this meeting, Angel Grace you should start finding a guy to play the guitar, while Pinkerbell, Aiyane, Micah and I will buy the materials to use for the booth." As she ordered the rest of the officers, "As for Alyssa, Angel Nicole, Jerna, and Angelika you will set up the tent and table in the school field, there are tents, tables, and chairs at the office. Is everyone clear with my instructions?" She asked.

Everyone nodded, as pres continued saying, "That was all everyone. The meeting is adjourned." Pres. Mary said as she stood up with the rest of the officers also standing up as all of them exited the room. After they exited, Micah, Pinkerbell, and Aiyane quickly followed Pres outside of the school. While Angel joined in with Alyssa, Angel Nicole, Jerna, Jasmin and Angelika to the office to get the tent, table, and chairs to use for the booth.

"SC OFFICE"

"Why are you here?" Alyssa asked as she added, "I thought you were going to find a guy to play the guitar."

"I already contacted some of my guy friends who play guitar, but they're also busy on Valentine's Day, so there goes my plan," Angel Grace said, as she sighed.

"You can ask the students in our program who are willing to play the guitar for Valentine's Day," Alyssa suggested.

"I can ask the 1st year students if there's anyone who plays the guitar," Angel Nicole suggested.

"I can also ask the 2nd year students about it as well," Jerna also suggested.

"Thank you so much, you guys." Angel Grace said as she thanked them while adding, "Update me if you find someone. I'll better get going. Bye "

They nodded as they waved goodbye to her as she left the office. After she left, they continued to lift the tent, tables, and chairs.

"Why are we the ones doing this again?" Angelika asked, as she complained "What's the use of having boy members if they're not going to help? You know that carrying this is heavy,"

"Well, Kuya Jhonmar isn't here since he has his internship while France is out sick. So, yeah, " Alyssa said.

"If you stop complaining, we will get the job done since there are no boys who will help us," Jasmin said, as she was about to lift the chairs when all of a sudden three guys came closer to her to help Alyssa, Jerna, Angel Nicole, and Angelika.

Alyssa gasped as she shockingly said "Invenzor" as she looked at him as he smiled and asked, "Do you need help?"

Alyssa nodded, and said, "I'm glad you're here. We needed extra hands to help carry these tents, tables, and chairs, but they were too heavy for us."

"I'm glad that we bumped into you girls to help. I will handle the tables and the guys will the chairs. While the rest of you carry the tent," Invenzor said as he lifted the chairs.

"I hope we didn't bother you by carrying this heavy equipment," Alyssa shyly said as she helped the girls carry the tent.

"Oh, no, it's fine." Invenzor said, as he shook his head "Glad we can help, and besides, we don't have a class the rest of the afternoon, so yeah" as he walked beside her.

Alyssa sighed in relief, as she said "Once again, I appreciate you guys helping us" with a smile on her when she suddenly kissed him on the cheek when no one was looking,

Invenzor was stunned for a second but recovered quickly as he shyly smiled while looking at her.

Angelika said as she looked behind, "You know that we saw what you did back there,"

"Remember that you don't have our blessings yet. If you want Alyssa to be your girlfriend, you must have our permission," Jerna said in a serious tone.

"You guys, don't threaten him," Alyssa said, as she laughed embarrassingly.

"We're not threatening him, we're just simply telling him," Jasmin said.

"If that's what Alyssa's friends want, then I will introduce myself to you properly," Invenzor said.

"Now, that's more like it. I'm Angelika, by the way, nice to meet you," Angelika said as she shook his hand.

"Hi, nice to meet you. I'm Jerna," Jerna said, as she also shook his hand.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Angel Nicole" Angel Nicole said as she shook his hand.

"Nice to meet you all. I'm" Before he could finish what he was about to say, a very known person called out his name out loud, "Invenzor Thompson, nice seeing you again. I see that you've already met my ex-girlfriend, Alyssa." He said as sneer "Our world is truly a small one. What a coincidence that we've all met this way," he added as he chuckled with his hands inside his pockets.
