"Today, class, we will be talking about the story 'The Three Trees That Dreamed' (Ang Tatlong Punong Nangarap)." Ma'am Sancha announced as the students took their seats.
Gale inwardly sighed in relief, for she had stopped checking their uniforms.
"But!" Ma'am paused dramatically. "If trees have dreams— or ambitions— don't we, too? What are your dreams?"
Hansel raised her hand, and she was called.
"I want to become a doctor!" She said.
"Okay, nice!" The teacher nodded. "Who else?"
"I want to be the president of the country." Jeff said once he was called.
Some of the students responded with "Ooh"'s and "Woah"'s.
"THAT'S MY ROOMMATE!" Gale yelled, while his NCRs clapped in his jacket's pockets.
"Make sure you'll get rid of the traffic..." Ma'am Sancha gave Jeff an intense stare.
Fun fact: Due to the large number of dormers in the whole high school, there's such thing as traffic in the dorm facilities...
"I want to be a— HAHAHAH!" RD tripped on his chair as Jared whispered something.
"A what?"
"A rich doctor..." RD said.
"Wow! You even described it, but what did Jared say?" Ma'am pinned her gaze on the boy.
"Uhm..." Jared hesitated, but smiled immediately. "I want to be a dad."
The whole class burst out laughing.
"OoOooHH!" John giggled.
"Sure! Why not?" Ma'am Sancha chuckled.
"I wanna be an amazing engineer!" Diego said once the class calmed down, and Ma'am nodded at him, smiling.
"Who else wants to share?" She looked at everyone else.
"I want to be a mom!" Jared yelled, and the class laughed again.
"Now, if you have these ambitions, there have to be reasons behind them. What are those reasons?" Ma'am asked.
"I want to be rich!" RD said once he was called. "So that I can buy Happy Meals!!!!!"
"That's it?" She looked at him, slightly disappointed.
"Wait, no, Ma'am!" He said. "I mean rich with love!"
"How do you buy Happy Meals with love..." Julia rolled her eyes and readied her fan.
"Well, Jared," Ma'am Sancha shifted her gaze towards him. "Why do you want to be a dad and mom?"
"I want to have lots of kids!" Jared exclaimed.
