1 The Biker Brothers (1/2)

It wa a warm October afternoon and Jamie was excited to go home already. After his teacher bade goodbye, he immediately stood up, got his bag, and ran out of the classroom. Hurriedly, he took his bike and pedaled his way through the crowd.

Jamie was eleven and like any boy of his age, he liked to spend time with his friends, shoot the baskets, or simply chat all day. Upon leaving the school's gate, he heard his friends' voice.

”Jamie!” Bogart called him out. ”We are here!”

Bogart's fluffy body swayed with each word he said. He was already panting with what he did. Nonetheless, he continued to take a bite of his massive sandwich.

”What took you so long?” Tonton demanded. ”We have been waiting for like hours already.”

Anthony was the group's genius. His eyes frowned beneath his thick reading glasses.

”I'm sorry, guys.” Jamie answered. ”Ms. Boltron won't let us out until somebody gets the correct answer to her questions.”

”It should not be that way!” Kiko hollered. ”Once the bell rings, she should let the students out. She can't detain you all just because nobody can answer her questions. It is against the constitution.”

Kiko was full of pride with his words. He acted like he knew all the laws, and he spoke with pride and dignity each time he conveyed certain knowledge.

” Leave it, guys, ” Jamie reasoned.” What's important is that we can all go home now. ”

Bogart gobbled the last piece of his sandwich. He gulped orange juice from his metal tumbler and effortfully mounted on his bike. Kiko smirked seeing him while Tonton gently hang his bag on his back. At Jamie's cue, the four boys began riding their bikes.

For the boys, life in Subangdaku (which means ”large river”) was easy and fun. Located between a large pristine river and virgin mountains, Subangdaku wa a peaceful community of simple farmers and fishermen. People relied mostly on agriculture and fishery for their everyday needs. There were no surrounding large industries and so the small village enjoyed clean air and water. Life was simple, and this simplicity brought a quiet fun to the villagers.

Jamie breathed long and hard. They had been pedalling a good distance already and he felt his legs already tiring up. He looked at Bogart. His friend was more fatigued, his tongue almost hanging out from his mouth. In fact, they were all tired but nobody was relenting. They must continue biking.

Jamie smiled. He felt pride in his heart. He could not be prouder of his friends, or better, brothers. He saw them as brothers from different mothers. They were very close that he would do anything just to keep their friendship and closeness intact.
