Chapter VI

Haven Lazaro

My mind suddenly brought back to the present time when someone nudge me. I quickly look at my side because heck that hurts, and saw Cindy. Sinamaan ko kaagad ito ng tingin.  "And what was that for!? Bakit your making siko me ba!?"

God. Seriously, Cindy is so irritating at times! I almost want to choke her to death.

"Jeez!" The latter rolled her eyes at me and I scoffed. "Hwag ka ngang sumigaw Couz, nakatingin dito yung Baby Li mo!"

I raised my brows. "What!?"

She pointed at something using her mouth at sinundan ko iyon ng tingin.

And that's when I saw her, She's looking at us, just like my cousin said —or just at me rather? She's looking exactly in my direction and that made me smile. She's looking so cute kasi wearing her Jersey and kahit she's all sweaty na, ang bango pa rin nitong tingnan. I saw her turn a darker shade of red. When she saw me smiling.

She's blushing  and damn it's cute. I just wanna pinch her cheeks right now, cause she's looking so damn adorable!

Nag resume na ang mga ito ng practice after, may mga sumisigaw na din na tao sa likuran namin, some people actually watch the practice aside from us, and they are so  loud! My ears are starting to hurt dahil sobrang matitinis pa ang boses ng mga ito!

God. My patience is getting thin.

" Go Julianne!! "

"Go team!"

"Ang ho-hot talaga nila bro!!"

"Gosh! Ang cute nya talaga! Nakita mo girl!? tumingin sya dito kanina!? Tiningnan nya ko girl! Eeeehhhhh!''

"Anong sayo girl? Sakin kya nakatingin si Baby Julianne!"

I rolled my eyes and scoffed. 'Duh! ako kaya yung tinitingnan.And how dare you to call her Baby!?'

At nag away pa yung dalawang girl sa likod. Gosh! They're so ingay talaga! And it's irritating na! Patuloy pa rin ang mga ito sa pag iingay and I can't take this anymore! I massage my head a little then stood up and faced them, after a few minutes na hindi pa rin tumitigil ang mga ito.

And just like what I'm expecting Parang nakakita ng multo ang mga ito when they saw me there. I noticed a group of guys in the corner and three girls sa likod lang ng upuan namin. siguro hindi nila napansin na nandun ako cause we were in the front row.

I crossed my arms and raised my eyebrows and made sure that they will all hear, what I will be saying.

I breathe out then— "I WANT YOU ALL TO GET. THE f**k. OUT RIGHT NOW! WITHIN TEN SECONDS AND YOU'RE ALL HERE PA, I WILL KICK YOU ALL OUT IN THIS SCHOOL I SWEAR! YOU GUYS ARE SO INGAY AND IT'S SO IRRITATING!"

"One—" I started counting, while tapping my feet on the floor repeatedly. "Two..."

'Three" They all still looked like they're still processing what I just said and that annoyed me more. So I count faster. ''Four."

''Five—"

''Six—'' When i reached number six, it's like some divine grace finally woke them up and realize what I said. So they all stormed out, and started to run palabas ng gym. I lift my brows then smiled in triumph. 'I'm such a bad b***h and I like it. I feel a little bit empowered, maybe this is what Beyoncé feels like on a daily basis.' I grinned cheekily.

"Grabe ka Couz! Takot na takot yung mga yun oh!" Cindy uttered. and my friends laughed out loud.

"Nakakatakot naman talaga si Haven pag ganoon na yung itsura nya noh! Parang talk back and you're dead eh!" Lily said. still clutching her stomach while laughing hysterically.

"Yeah right, that one guy almost pee in his pants, did you guys see that?'"

 I rolled my eyes at Elise. "Stop that."

But it's like they heard nothing, they still all continued to laugh. I just shook my head pagkatapos ay umupo ulit sa pwesto ko.

Julianne Hernandez

"Julianne, water oh!" I look at my side and saw Avery. May inaabot ito sa akin na bottled water. I quickly took it and smiled. Malapit ng matapos ang practice at hinihintay na lang namin yung iba.

"Uhm, thanks, Ave." I smiled at her pagkatapos ay ininom ang ibinigay nito.

"You're welcome!" The girl replied then mirrored my smile.

"Di ba wala ng stocks ng bottled water sa cafeteria? Saan to galing?" Nagtatakang tanong ko sa kanya, it has the same logo like the ones in the cafeteria though. Pero sa pagkakatanda ko kasi kanina, nung kumain kami sa cafeteria ni my labs isa na lang yung natitirang bottled water doon.

And speaking of my labs, nanonood sya ngayon ng practice namin! Yieeee kilig naman ako!

Siguro sinamahan nila si Cindy na panoorin si Anne, lagi kasing nanonood yun ng practice para lang asarin si Besh, yung isa naman asar na asar. I chuckled internally at my thoughts because I found them absolutely amusing.

"Huh?" Avery glanced at my direction a little puzzled. "Walang stocks? Ang dami ngang bottled water doon eh, hindi naman sila nawalan ng stocks ngayong araw" She said that with a confused face habang nagpupunas ito ng pawis at kumunot ang noo ko.

'But Haven said that the one she bought was the last one—? Kaya nga nagsalo na lang kami sa isa kanina?' I scrunched my brows a little confused. but decided to let it go. I just shrugged my shoulders.

"Um, Julianne... M-May itatanong sana ako?' Avery blurted out suddenly. And that made me turned to looked at her. "Itatanong? Ano naman yun captain?" I smiled. She looked tense kasi, dahil nilalaro nito yung mga daliri habang nagsasalita.

"U-Uhm, may gagawin ka ba after practice? Magpapasama kasi sana ako sa—" Di na naituloy nito ang sasabihin nung may biglang mag salita sa likuran ko.

"—Yes. May plans na sya after practice. In fact I'm just waiting for her. we're going somewhere kasi."

Kumunot agad ang noo ko. Huh? Plans?  Going somewhere? Eh wala naman akong gagawin mamaya ah, uuwi lang agad ako ng bahay. Nilingon ko kung sino yung pangahas na nagsalita at nanlaki ang mga mata ko.

Haven?

PERO TEKA----KAMI!? MAY PLANS AFTER PRACTICE?

"Um ganoon ba?'' Avery smiled awkwardly. "Sige maybe, next time na lang siguro? sige Julianne, punta na ako ng locker room ha?"

I nod then smiled widely. "Hmm. Sige captain, Ingat pauwi."Ngumiti ito. But she look sad though. Tumango at ngumiti din ito kay Haven na nasa likuran ko at naglakad na palayo.

Hinarap ko na ang dyosa. At as usual andoon pa rin yung famous na kilay nyang nakataas na naman ngayon.

SHEMS NAMAN! bakit ba ang hot nya pag ginagawa nya yon?

"Uhm, H-Haven a-anong plans? May p-pupuntahan tayo?"

She rolled her eyes at me looking extremely annoyed. 'Sasama ka naman talaga kung hindi ako dumating... Tsss!   may pa ingat ingat pang nalalaman, why won't you go kiss her goodbye instead? Para namang gusto nyo yung gawing dalawa and right in front of my salad?'

Pa bulong bulong pa nitong sabi, na naririnig ko naman.

'Ano ba problema ng dyosang to?'

I'm still looking at her confused so she just sighed. "Yes. Sasamahan mo ako sa mall. I will buy some things lang!''

" ahhhh----But-"

"NO BUTS! Let's go!" She said after glaring at me. She pulled my hand and drag me after.

What's wrong with her today?
