Elira Madrigal

Zharina's POV

"Why don't you tell us why you give cupcakes to him?" Avy asked while crossing her arms over her chest and standing in front of me. Some of my classmates also looking in our direction and waiting for my answer because I know that they also curious between Caleb and me.

Well, I don't know what to say I just replied that that's my thank you gift and they know what I mean when it comes to that one but I think they're not a hundred percent convinced because I know that they will think that I have a crush on Caleb which is a lie, a very big lie.

When our teacher came in we immadiently arrange our sit properly and quickly right down the notes when our professor starts to write a topic on the board.

"By the way get ready for the next week's school task. Zharina we already talk to your parents if you're allowed to go next week and they agree. It is fine?" My professor said after his discussion. I looked around and all of my classmates are looking at me and waiting for my answer.

I don't feel any kind of pain since I was finally confined. So I think there's nothing wrong with going out again because I also need to rush my time for my school works so I can pass. "Yes sir, count me in" I smiled widely, and with that, my classmates started to noise.

"Are you sure?" Lian asked me once again. I nodded to them so they will just smile at me and grabbed my hands.

We are here inside the campus and waiting for the bus that will fetch us going to the place where the last task will be held. By the way, this task is very necessary because it's recorded and all of the teachers will be based on our performance here if we deserve to pass for the next semester.

What we're going to do there is we will work to a different shop and yes it's called OJT or On the job training. We dare to choose what kind of job we will go to take. I go for the construction and I'm with my schoolmate who will take engineering and architecture. Saoirse and Avy are on the different OJT so technically we will be busy these next few days.

"Just wake me up if we are already there, Thanks," My schoolmate said before putting on her earphone and lean on the window before taking a snap. I took a deep breath and hugged my bag. Avy and Lian are on different buses since they have different locations. I was about to close my eyes when I saw Kajik entered the bus. My lips parted and our eyes met. He's wearing a hoodie while earphones on, he doesn't seem shocked at all and averted his eyes on me then walked straight to the back seat.

I bite my lower lip and lean my back while hugging my backpack. After a few minutes, we are already completed so the bus started to move and at the same time, I take a snap.

They say we have a one and a half hour going to our destiny so they suggested to us to take a rest for a while because if we are there we must also start our job if we want to end our OJT that fast.

"We have 5 construction sites here and I will group all of you and assigned each group a site. what you must things to do is to check the building, observe and help, and with that We, the leaders here were assigned to lead all of you and give the scores based on what we observed, is that clear?" The licensed engineers and architects are in front and discussing what we need to do. The group has ten members which are five students who will take engineering and five students for students who will take architecture.

They gave us a blueprint of the building that they doing so we talked about it with my group mates and do some plans on how we start. We went here at 2:36 in the afternoon and it's already 5 o'clock when we take a break. We are having fun while eating when we saw another bus parked in front of the gate, Most of us checked what's that bus and saw that it's from another school. I heard my professor beside us said "Aw that's the stem students from another university"

"Why they are here, sir? they're going to join us?" One of my schoolmates asked.

The professor nodded and sip in his coke because continue talking "They will be joining you here and we, your teachers will decide or choose which of them we will pick up and transfer to our school." He continued. We just nodded then continue eating too.

After our break, I quickly stand up to throw the dirt things I have and also to buy some mineral water because I did not realize that I had used up my water while operating. When throwing waste in the trash bin I felt like someone is beside me and I wasn't wrong.

"How are you?" I asked. I looked at him because he didn't answer me and I've got confused but I just shrugged and walk away. What's his problem? these past few days I noticed that he's ignoring or staying away from me and I don't know what the reason.

But yeah...Kajik and I are not close enough so it's no big deal though. I was about to go outside when I bumped into someone. "Ouch!" I immadiently looked at the girl with parted lips and saw her angry facial expression, she even looked at me from head to toe but stopped on my I.D who clipped on my left side chest, and with that, her face suddenly calm and gave me a shocked look "I'm sorry, I'm sorry" She said while bowing her head multiple times. I tapped her shoulder and gave her an awkward looked before passing into her to go out and buy water.

I brought a large amount of mineral water and when I get back they're already compressed and talked about something. I ran towards them and tried to hear what are they saying so I can still understand. "They say you and your group mates will going to continue and by that, the engineers and architects were about to start judging you, then" I've got shocked when someone spoke and when I faced it I saw Kajik who's not looking at me and looks focus in front.

"Aw okay thanks," I said and hear the other part of the discussion before we separated from each other.

When our mates are completed we just noticed that some of the other students from random schools are with us. We decided to go to our assigned building and the assigned engineers are already there waiting for us.

First, we just do a short plan on how we should start observing the building with the blueprint and how to observe them. We grabbed our paper and ballpen then we start our job. We helped the construction workers by giving them the things they needed. In each part of the building, I immadiently record them all by writing on my sheet of paper. I saw that the girl I collided with earlier is beside me but I just ignored her presence because I'm busy doing my job and I know right now that the judges and teachers are looking to us one by one.

I walked slowly towards the building because I think I saw something under it and was about to check when the woods above start to shake and they're already panicking but suddenly I couldn't move immediately not until I heard someone called my name and before looking back I felt someone grabbed my hands out of there and we are all shouted because when I get away from that building I realized that the girl earlier is beside me but I saw Kajik runs towards her and the last thing I'm seeing right now is they both laying on the cement while Kajik is above on her. We are all calm and the people started to clap and shout I don't know if they're just admiring Kajik for helping us or they teasing him to the girl under him.

Kajik stood up and help the girl to stand too. Some of us walked towards them to ask if they're okay. "Thank you so much. I'm Elira Madrigal, by the way," The girl said and offered her hand. Kajik shakes his hands with her and introduces himself before helping Elira to go to the clinic to heal her bruises on her knee, and elbows.

"Are you okay?" My groupmates approached me and asked if I'm fine, they also want me to go to the clinic to check but I refused.
