Serenity In The Wild

Chapter 9

Napairap ako at inayos na lang ang pag-upo, maraming nakatingin sa'min kaya hinayaan ko na. Seryuso siyang tumitig sa'kin at pinaningkitan ako ng mata.

"Don't you dare leave until the game's done," banta niya. "We'll win, by hook or by crook."

I scoffed and arched my brows to annoy him.

"You're a s**t," I said tauntingly. "You'll know why the soonest."

"We'll see that."

He smirked and jogged towards his friends, he wore his shoes and took off his shirt. It revealed his basketball uniform. Panay ang tingin niya sa gawi ko para siguraduhing hindi ako umaalis. Hindi na muna pero mamaya. Ilang minuto lang din nagsimula na ang laro, pumagitna ang captain ball nila at humarap kay Triden na captain ball din ng basketball team namin.

I saw some of my classmate and friends, in the bleachers are from other strands. I even saw Quin Fidel Castillo waiting to be called in the corner. Nakita kong pinapaypay ako nina Jaden na pumunta sa kanila pero ngumisi lang ako at umiling. Not yet.

Napatingin ako ulit sa court nang pumito ang referee at nakita ko na lang ang mataas na pagtalon nina Triden. Mas nauna niyang nahawakan ang bola at agad 'tong napunta sa kasama na may numerong seventeen.
