First Bomb

Like a typical teen drama, things don't always go smoothly. Teens, you know, are crazy! Life is crazy and the crazy is just about to start.

In a way. I kind of like what is happening even though people are getting mad and very hurt. It's like, a soap opera, or like I said, a teen drama, DevCom edition. Ladies and Gentlemen, the first DevCom Scandal Batch 2009:

Biology, the bitchy subject no one interested needs to learn but has to, requires multiple brains to help one student figure the thing out and pass the useless subject for the semester, we call it a group study.

The planning has begun and everybody wants to go. Some people jump in the bandwagon, some just miss the chance.

About forty minutes of waiting beside Park Cafe, the students one by one came. Attendance, check. A multicab ride, 7 pesos. Snacks, about seventy pesos. The experience and things that were about to happen after the group study, priceless.

Like any typical group study, it started with chatting then moved on to a horror movie. Nobody really knew what Alleles stood for but everyone knew that the movie 1408 sucked. John Cusack was impressive though.

The group studied eventually, then the fun began. Typically, people would love to spill gossip about anyone when a group of people come together and that was what exactly happened. I'm not saying I'm a saint 'coz I did share things about a friend (nothing harmless, just things that were unimportant and obvious) but all that time I kept my mouth shut. I didn't want to say bad things about other people because I know for a fact that people do that to me.

After the backbiting, gossip and potential rumors, everyone promised that what was said would be left there. It takes many chains to form a bracelet but onje of those chains will eventually break out. And so did that chain.

After a week (I'm not so sure), the secrets from the group study started spreading. Everyone owed everyone an explanation, though some people didn't. There was a major catfight and buckets of drama. By buckets I mean tears.

There was one question though, who started the whole mess?

Everone knew that the person who cried a river of tears didn't exactly keep the promise because she told her other friends but the sympathy's on her. Even I became one of her 'rock' even though she betrayed me.

In a weird scenario, I know who told who which started the whole mess and like all other mystery cases, it's always the unexpected one.

The secrets out. Which side are you on? The traitor who gets the sympathy because of all the problems she's dealing with (I doubt people really sympathize her though) or the many vulnerable people who trusted the traitor? Your pick.
