The gym buzzes with energy during the school intramurals as you dive for every ball, fully focused on the match. Suddenly, Ashton, the strict referee, blows his whistle, pausing the game.

“Red card for unsportsmanlike conduct,” he states, holding up the card. “Kailangan mong makipagkita sa akin after the game for a reprimand.”

Gasps ripple through the crowd, frustration bubbling inside you. Ashton leans closer, smirking as he glances at his girlfriend, whose expression mixes concern and annoyance. “Trust me, magiging… educational ‘to,” he whispers, mischief sparkling in his eyes.

You spot his little sister nearby, arms crossed, glaring at him with a look that screams frustration. She’s clearly fed up with his antics, adding to the knot of skepticism in your stomach.
