Gerald and Vince are cousins and at the same time best of friends and mahilig magbiro sa isat-isa, gantihan kung gantihan kaya super close talaga ang dalawang ito. Both of them are in their 3rd year in St. Aloysius College taking up business management, both basketball player and kinahuhumalingan ng mga girls esp. Gerald. Galing sa prominent families pero very low profile and very few lang ang nakaka alam and they want it to remain that way para they’re free to do what they want just like ordinary students.

“Humanda ka lang talaga Gerald gagantihan kita! When you least expect it magugulat ka na lang!” yan ang banta ni Vince kay Gerald after ng kanilang basketball practice sa school. That was a month ago after Gerald played practical joke on Vince by hiding his clothes after they had a shower after the game and walang choice si Vince kundi lumabas na naka tapis ng tuwalya. Grabeng kantyaw ang inabot ni Vince kasi ang daming naka witness, andun pa ang crush niya na girl kaya he was really cursing Gerald and his other team mates and ga ganti talaga siya sa kanila, joke na kung joke. Yan ang madalas gawin ng mga players sa isa-t isa, kay Gerald lang nila hindi magawa yan being their team captain and malaki ang takot nila dito pero siya hindi takot at talagang gagantihan niya ito. After a week of thinking isa isa niyang binalikan ang mga players.

Sa canteen while the players gathered hindi napansin ng 3 guys na sa upuan may maliit na farthing doll na nailagay si Vince bago pa sila makaupo and tamang pag upo “Pruuuuuuuuuuuut!” ang lakas ng tunog and talagang nag kaingay sa canteen. Grabe ang pamumula ng face ng 3 guys and that time nasa malayo na si Vince with a big smile on his face “three down”.

Naging conscious na tuloy ang mga players after that incident. May time na wala ng lumalapit kay Vince pag magkakasama sila or they’re inspecting ang bag niya or kapkapan siya bago sila tatabi. Sports naman silang lahat and they still remain the best of friends pero revenge pa rin ang hanap ni Vince lalo na sa pinsan niya. After Justin and Mike’s class they’re walking sa corridor when they heard people laughing, at first di nila pansin pero bakit ang tagal naman atang tawanan yun until one gay said to them “welcome to the club” and syempre nagulat sila then he showed them the flyers na naka dikit sa likod nila “I‘m Gay!” and the other one “I smell”. Grabeng hunting nila kay Vince pero mas matinik ang Vince marunong magtago “five down”.

Naging tahimik after a week and akala ng iba tapos na ang revenge ni Vince, everything was sort of back to normal but not for Vince pinag hahandaan talaga niya ang ultimate revenge sa pinsan niya, one that he will never forget.

Gerald: pinsan sorry na sa nangyari, peace na tayo ha. Nag aalangan na sa yo ang tropa e baka kung ano na naman ang gawin mo kaya I’m raising the white flag na ha then he gave his hand for a handshake which Vince took.

Vince: wala na yun insan pero ang nasa isip “yun ang akala mo”.

Two more weeks had passed and talagang wala nang nangyari, balik na ang samahan ng mga players and that time they’re busy practicing for the coming school fair. While that time sa school library…

Rica: fren aattend ka ba ng fair sa Friday?

Kim: ayaw ko sana fren kaso compulsory e, need ng attendance. Siguro I’ll stay saglit lang then aalis din ako. Alam mo naman hindi ako mahilig sa mga ganyan e. Baka open ang library dun na lang ako mag stay.

Rica: fren naman e library na naman, minsan lang ang school fair no, mag enjoy naman tayo pa minsan
Kim: alam mo naman ang reason fren e, need kong I maintain ang scholarship ko para makatapos na ako ng interior design and besides mahal pihado ang mga rides no sabay pa ng food. Tingnan na lang natin fren kung ano mangyari sa Friday ha.
minsan. Puro na lang aral e.

Friday came and almost 2 hours na nag start ang college fair ng dumating si Kim sa school. Ang usapan nila ni Rica mag meet sila malapit sa may ferris wheel ang dun na ang punta niya when all of the sudden she felt something clamped her right hand then a guy was running palayo sa kanya.

Kim: hoy! Bakit mo ako pinosasan! Hoy! Then when she looked sa kanyang right side she saw the cutest guy alive and she’s handcuffed to him. “What’s the meaning of this?”
