Mistaken Identity

Chapter 2: Captain Andro "Gay" Volkov!? Is it true!?

Chapter 2: Captain Andro “Gay” Volkov!? Is it true!?

            “Andro Gin Volkov, captain of basketball team, heartthrob ng campus, GAY!? Huling-huli sa akto ang ating basketball captain na nakikipaglandian sa kanyang ka-teammate na si Lyndon Cabrera.”

             Ang article na ito ang siyang nagpabago sa ordinaryong buhay ng dalawang tao. Naging usap-usapan sa loob ng campus ang nasabing article. Sino nga ba naman ang magtatangkang kumalaban sa pinakasikat na player ng basketball? No one expected that Graffiti Magazine would something that would make the Campus Prince angry. It was harmless. Everyone thought that maybe the one who wrote this was one of his ex’s ngunit hindi pa rin matukoy kung sino. Graffiti magazine, maybe famous around the campus but the identities of the people inside said organization were still a secret until now.

Andro’s POV

            Another ordinary day. That was what I thought once I got inside the campus.

            Girls squealing for my attention.

            Professor’s asking me to pay attention in class.

            Bullying some students? A bit maybe. Pero hindi naman ganun kalala. Konting asar dito… mga ganun lang.

            Though never  did I expect that this supposedly ordinary day would turn into my worst nightmare. Nagsimula ang lahat sa isang babaeng hindi ko maalala ang pangalan. Umiiyak siyang tumakbo sa akin at niyakap ako.

            “WAAAAAAH PAPA ANDRO PLEASE TELL ME THIS ISN’T TRUEEEE!!! HUHUHUH HINDI KA NAMAN GAY DIBA? YOU DON’T EVEN SMELL FISHY, YOU SMELL FRESH PA NGA EH.” Sabi nung babae habang inaamoy amoy pa ako. Minamanyak pa nga yata ako.

“Miss kung sino ka man please lang, layo ng konti. Nakakaasiwa ka.” Sabi ko habang nilalayo yung babae. Yung mga kasamahan ko natatawa na. bwusit talaga kung pwede lang manapak ng babae matagal ko ng ginawa.

“WAAAAH PAPA ANDRO ARE YOU REALLY GAY!?” sabi nung isa pang babaeng kakasulpot lang kung saan. Kabute lang!?

“Ano ba yang pinagsasabi nyo!?” nakakunot kong tanong sa mga lintang nasa tabi ko.

“Kasi naman Papa Andro, merong picture ni Papa Lyndon na ang sweet nyo! Then there’s this article written about you being gay!!” whined by the girl on my right.

Napatigil silang lahat sa pagtawa. Kahit ako napatigil. What the fvck!?

“Where the hell did you get that news!?” tanong ni Lyndon.

Oh right we forgot to tell you who we are.

Ako nga pala si Andro Gin Volkov, Basketball captain of the Hansford Wolves.

At yung sumigaw ba kamo!? Si Lyndon Cabrera, ang best friend ko, kababata and my brother in all but blood. Maloko ngunit hindi nambaba ng tao. Matalino din siya ngunit hindi ipinapakita. Mahirap na daw mapagkamalan pa siyang nerd. 

Si Travis McCoy naman ang co-captain ko sa basketball. Kababata ko din siya ngunit mas close off siya at seryoso sa buhay minsan lang magsalita. Hindi naman siya dating ganyan but I’ll leave it to him to tell you guys.

Sila Connor Compton, Blake Sawyer at Giovanni Dixon ang ilan pa sa mga kasama naming sa loob ng basketball team. Meron ding mas bata pa sa amin pero madalas lang sa basketball court kami nagkakasama.

“Babe, do you really think I’m gay? I’m a ladies’ man through and through.” Sabi ko pagkatapos iabot nila ang magazine ng G.M.O kay Lyndon. I even peck the girl kahit sobrang kapal ng lipstick niya. Mukhang kinilig kung sino man tong humahawak sa akin.
