The peace will always start with that word. Respect.

CHAPTER 1
"Miss Avery..."
I turned my head to our EIC(Editor-in-Chief)with an expression that asks him.
"Handle the article about our newest SSG president. And for the YES-O votes result. We are expecting better than before,Miss Avery. Don't fail us"he said to me. I shrugged my head to me.
"I can make you fall down. And I can make rise upon all of the organization here in Alphabet High. Don't expect too much, expect the unexpected..."I stated and left him dumbfounded.
What's new anyways? Every big occassion,I am the who's always assigned to have the documentary. What about them? They claim the praise of the students,teachers, faculty and the principal. I don't care,but the point that they can't do the proper credits I want,it really get into my nerves. Tsk!
I hide my DLSR camera and remove my glass. I wear my usual Alphabet High Identification Card. At saka ako dumiretso sa pasilyo papunta sa bulding namin. I tied up my hair and still walking.
"Avery?"
I heard my surname as I stand infront of the door. I opened it as quick as I can. And raised my hand. Embarrassing moment again!
"...you're two minutes late."our strict instructor said to me. I rolled my eyes secretly.
"But it doesn't mean that I already skipped on your class. You're not yet discussing ma'am. Na-uh!"I said to her in a respectful slash sarcastic tone.
Irritation slowly drawn all over her face. I walk towards my chair and sat on it. I put my elbow on my arm chair and leaned my face on it.
"Ms.Avery..."napa-buga ako nang hangin at saka tumayo. Tangay tangay ang bag ko papalabas.
"Nothing is unusual,Miss..."I bow my head as my own term of respect and left my first period in my afternoon class.
I turned my way at the botanical garden. The fresh air of the pine trees and others welcomed me. Mahangin,presko,nakaka-kalma.
Pumasok ako sa isa sa mga kubo-kubo at umupo sa kahoy na upuan. It was a simple hut,with a simple saka set inside.
I breathe in and out for so many times. Nilabas ko na ang mga news paraphernalia. The list of the numbers of the YES-O votes. Who the winners are. Who are the losers. But who cares?
Ah,yes. Everybody. When it was written by the faceless and mysterious AppleOfTheEye journalist. Everybody's attention was focused.
I started tapping the keyboard for my drafts. Habang ina-annalyze ang mga isusulat ko.
YES-O winners? Dinaya nga ba|
I stopped and roamed my eyes around the botanical garden. I stopped my eyesight at one direction. There I saw the hacktivist student of this school coming near on me.
Hannah Haley.
And the officer of Blue Ribbon Committee of our Campus. With her.
Oliver Osenknowski.
I closed my laptop and tapped my hands on the wooden table. Waiting for this two famous students. With bad attitudes. And hidden goodness.
Hannah raised her brow on me. I flipped my hair on her and faced Oliver. I kissed his cheek and ask them to sit
"Pupusta ako..."I put my hand at the table ang tapped three times. "Pinalayas kayo nang teacher nyo,dahil nakikipag-daldalan kayo 'no?" Hannah,once again,rolled her eyes on me.
"Of course,coz you have the same reason why staying here. Anything else? Unless you did something?"Oliver smirked at me.
I smirked back. "No,I didn't do the same thing... "I raised my forefinger and pointed the pine tree,just few blocks away from us. "...I am just late. Because of our club's EIC"I opened the laptop and faced it on them.
"O M G! Is this real? Final result na ba ito?"tanong sa akin ni Hannah. I shrugged my head
"Who knows? Kaya nga,look. I am frustrated here. Thinking what to do"I typed some words again.
"Bagay pala sayo ang penname mo 'no?"Oliver asked. I nod at him. "Hmmm. Apple of the eye. Yeah! You're the center of the attraction. But your EIC was the one who claim the praises"
I turn my head on him and smiled bitterly. "Even in our dear campus. There are still royals, elite, and poors. In my state,I am one of those elites who are under the royals"I said to him.
"Whew! Bakit ba kasi hindi pantay-pantay ang lahat?"tanong ni Hannah. I laughed at her
"You're thinking impossible. Yes, impossible. Not everything is possible. There impossible things,still"their brows knitted. Eyes are asking me. I laugh again. "Think of it..."I raised my hands in the air as if balancing something.
"It will never be possible to have a mother who have the same age as you. It will never happen that the fly of the birds and airplanes will be at the same state as the crocodiles and ships. It is impossible of reaching the sky. It is impossible of having the justice you want without consequences. Imagine how life will be,if that happen..."I look at the both of them.
"You and your mother will be compared as siblings. The birds will be eaten by crocodiles. Airplanes will be needing so many space in land. And it will crash if this fly at the same level on how a ship sails. If you reached the sky... Is it happy? Maybe? Who knows? If you have the justice that you want... If everybody did. What will happen? There will be a big war. It is impossible of having a justice that you want without consequences. If you place the justice in your own hands... It will create a chaos"I lowered my head and let out a sigh.
"What this world need is peace. Not equality. We have our own responsibility. We have our own position. What we, people's,should have is respect. Respect,to be respected. The peace will always start that word. Respect"I finally said to them and typed some words at my documentary.
I heard them discussing so many things,arguing about nonsense. And blah! Blah! Blah!
