Deal with the Consequences

PANGALAWA

ALEX POV

She was looking for her cousin Anton in the school grounds and everywhere, her tita Gwen told her that they will have a small gathering later and Anton should be there and she wanted to tell him personally but she doesn't know where he is and since her classes are done and she is part of the swimming team she need to go to the school's swimming pool or the so called natatorium for her practice since she will compete or their team are competing with other schools this month, it is a friendly match that is held every year but it doesn't feel like a friendly match since everyone is so competitive and don't want to lose.

The schools that are included in the said friendly match or the Montemor's schools merging or MSM, it was followed by the owner's last name. Alegre Montemor III owns the Alegre University, A.M Montemor owns the Montemor Academy, Doña Luisita Montemor University owned by Shiphrah Montemor and the Acacia Academy owned by Alaine Montemor. Their names already explained why we have the MSM for 2 whole months. It is like a school fest or intramurals but it is more way longer than the normal one's but it's really fun since there are a lot of booths and any other fun activities, you can also gain friends since all the students should be in one place depending on the owners and mind you guys the place should be really, really big that it can accommodate 500,000 people since 4 schools are merging.

Minutes had already passed and she cant find her cousin so she just decided to give up. Antonio Miguel Arevalo is the long lost brother of Dora, he explores everything and he can't stay still in one place. He also loves to hang out in the school gym and stalk some "boys" who I think that looks like swiper and he is a social butterfly he have a lot of friends here in the campus.

" where the f are you Anton Alvarez! I wanna smack you so bad for wasting my time" she mumbled while walking.

After she stopped looking for Anton, Alex decided to just text him and let him know that they have training. While she’s texting and walking to get her bag to the parking lot, she felt that someone is staring at her only to find out that it is their school campus president Calithea Ali, she was wondering why, she stared back at her with a questioning look but she thought that maybe Calithea wasn't looking at her so she looked at her sides and her back but Calithea's eyes is still following her.

"Cal"

"Calitheaaaaa!"

"Cal!" someone shouted again.

Calithea looked away to see who was calling her. I was relieved for no reason.

"weird" she muttered in a whisper tone.

She just shrug it off and continued walking and texting her cousin.

After she got her duffle bag in her car, she immediately changed into her one piece swim suit in their locker room in the natatorium. Each one of the students in Alegre University have their own locker with a finger print lock registered in it since the school wanted to avoid any issues. The athletes like them have 2 lockers the main that are located in the hallways of the campus and the locker that is in the natatorium which is more bigger than the main lockers and it has a face recognition lock.

After she changed into her swim suit she got out only to found her teammates laughing, playing and joking around, she counted and checked if they are complete already since she is the team captain and the oldest of them all and to her surprise no ones late today even their crazy teammates are already sitting in the bleachers and being noisy again, while she was checking and counting her teammates she saw some new faces and one of them is their new elected school president who was staring at her earlier and other two girls who interrupted their "staring contest" they looked out of place, her teammates are asking them things and they are just replying them with a little shy smile and nod. They are wearing the same swim suit as hers so she assumed that they will join the team. Coach Juss arrived.

" Are we complete Captain?"

" Yes, coach"

" That's new, no ones late, eh?"

“Since everyone are already here, as you can see we have new members joining our team.”

“Kayla Dominggo, Rain Leira Asis and our school president Calithea Mikael Ali”

"it's nice to meet you" said Rain.

"hope we get along well" Kayla also added.

Everyone was waiting for the president to speak and anticipating, seconds had passed but she didn't utter any words and the atmosphere became awkward but still she was just keeping her straight face then Rain nudged her then whispered something. Calithea blushed then said,

"Nice to meet you all" in a shy voice.

" They are in their 11th year, they are taking up Accountancy Business and Management am I right?"

Kayla and Rain nodded then smiled but Calithea was just looking at her feet maybe she is feeling shy about what happened since her cheeks are still pinkish or maybe it is normal since she have a fair white skin.

"cute" she thought.

"Alright, since we are having a "friendly" competition with other school we need to be in shape and let's see what our newbies can do, let's start, warm up first kids" coach shouted.

We groaned when coach Juss emphasized the word friendly because we know it is not, if it is friendly game we shouldn't need to practice hard for it and the "friendly" word is a total scam, it is inappropriate to use that word to describe the competitiveness of each school they hate losing and same thing for us.

While doing stretching I feel like somebody's watching me and I feel uncomfortable. I looked at the back and there I saw a pair of brown eyes staring at me intently, I stared back at her and thought 'what's wrong with her? she kept staring at me, what's her problem'.

After the warm up coach called the 3 junior high school aces, the 3Js or the J aces and the 3 new members of the team. It's kinda cringe and awkward to be called J aces according to them and they told us that we should not call them like that but Arnold, one of our teammates, the creator of their group name and he is stubborn and crazy so he is the reason why we kept calling them the J aces and even coach and other students who knew about it calls them like that.

"Since I've heard that the new members are good let's test them first before starting the training.Ok, wear your caps and goggles, let's do freestyle for now J aces and the newbies"

Calithea, Rain and Kayla vs. John, Jimboy and Justine

"Show us what you've got newbies" John shouted excitedly.

Coach Juss begins by signaling them with several short whistles. They will remove all clothing except their legal swimwear or equipments after that coach Juss gives a long sound from their whistle to command the new members and the J aces to be in their starting positions. They are already in their starting forward positions, then coach gives the signal, and the race begins.

The three newbies have beautiful physiques and are compatible to be a swimmer. They're posture while swimming is great, I can tell they attended swimming lessons. They are also fast the 6 of them are just equal in speed and it is amazing but Calithea started to move forward and is able to turn first, the crowd is getting hyped since J aces are the fastest in our team and Calithea, Rain and Kayla are keeping up with them.

" J aces are behind them already, is this what we call change? change? who will win this competition?..." Arnold said while mimicking the basketball announcers, we laughed when we heard him.

" The J aces are doing their best to cope up partner but it looks like Calithea our new ace gave them a big gap, they are trying but it looks like they can't and the two girls also ahead"

" aaaannnnddd the winnerrr isss Calitheaaaaaaaa!!"

" that was breathtaking and nerve-wracking and everything, y'all" He commented while clapping his hands and the others followed even me hahaha. Arnold is really crazy.

I agree with him tho, Calithea is really good and she has a great body and physique, beautiful face and eyes that can be drowning. I am eyeing her from head to toe when she went out of the pool when I heard someone faked a cough only to find out that it was Arnold with his annoying grin on his face.

"you like her Lexie? you are checking her out from head to her soul" he said while raising his eyebrows up and down.

"wanna die Arnold? I wasn't checking her out okay, I was just looking at her and I was about take off my eyes at her" I defensively rebutted.

" You can't kill me darling, I am invincible and just admit it tou are checking her out maybe you are jealous or maybe you like her yieeee"

" shut up faggot"

I am not the type of person to argue and talk much but this guy is really testing me every f*****g day and every word that he will spit in his mouth. I don't care about people but he is an exemption, this guy urghhhh... I can't even explain my frustrations in words about this guy. Gahd he is so annoying.

We continued practicing like a carabao. It was already 7:00pm when coach Juss decided to dismiss us.

My body aches so bad and I can't even walk fast. While I am changing my clothes I felt my stomach growl with hunger.

"Coach Juss have never been this harsh with us for a long time, my body aches so much" Hae said while massaging his neck.

" You look okay to me Hae, just look at that stupid over there" Jay said while pointing at Arnold whose still in his swim wear, panting and is still laying down near the pool.

"Why was coach so harsh on him, Captain?" Rain asked me.

"Because he deserve it" I replied flatly.

" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAH that was harsh Alexandrea" Hae said.

"I am famished, I'll go ahead, bye" I said while walking away and waving my hands.

I should eat first then will head home. I stopped my car to eat at a nearby fast food chain and after I decided to go home.
