Bottle of Stories (32)

Rey asks for permission from Annie's mother if they can go to the nearest mall. The curious mother asks why. Rey comes up with a good lie.

"We need to buy materials for our project in MAPEH," Rey said.

And then Annie remembered that they need some materials for that project but it's not really necessary because they will use recycled materials.

"Yeah, we need it to do our project," Annie added.

"Do you really need it now." She asked.

"Not really but if we buy it earlier, our project will be finished early and we will get high grades too."

Jayson listened to their conversation and he predicts her mother is not going to believe it because Rey and Annie are lying.

"Okay, but can't leave your friend behind here. He will be bored." Looks at Jayson.

"What?" Jayson reacted.

"Jayson, you can join us!" Rey said.

"What... is... that..." *points

"Jeepney, it is transportation used to reached our destination faster," Rey explained.

Meanwhile, inside the moving jeepney,

"Grrr! I can't! I'm so dizzy and I want to leave now!" Jayson said while walking out.

"Wait no!" Rey shouted.

"Rey!" Annie said.

Jayson is going to jump off the jeepney. People inside started screaming but Rey pulled him and the driver makes a big brake making the two back inside again.

"If you want to die, do it somewhere else not here! You'll add my burden if you did." the driver said angrily.

"Sorry, sir! My friend once lived in a very secluded place so he doesn't know how things work here." Rey said.

"Yeah, yeah just sit down and don't do it again." the driver said back.

The two sit down quietly. Jayson can't talk because he knows he did something wrong.
