Love Me in Brooklyn

Chapter 7 - Triple R

Number two.

Always give time to Russell. Everyone should be present on our King's events, whether to attend his game, or simply a weekend club cheering practice. The only exception is if the member has school-related priority or family plans.

Ayos na ayos lang din sa akin ang isang ito. It's already on my schedule to meet him whenever I can. Kaya kahit wala ang rule na ito ay gagawin ko pa rin naman iyon, hehehe.

Number three.

Never invade Russell's personal space. Don't interrupt his daily plans unless he allows us to.

I frowned and raised my hand. All their gazes directed at me.

"Yes?" tanong ni Lily.

"Can you elaborate that one? Medyo hindi ko kasi maintindihan."

"Our king hates it when girls come up to him only to waste his time. We are allowed to cheer for him, support him and adore him from afar but we cannot talk to him out of the blue. He wants a quiet life kaso hindi naman 'yon pwede dahil kahit saan siya magpunta ay nakukuha niya ang atensyon ng lahat."

Teka lang, ang labo naman yata non!

"Are you all crazy?" I blurted out. "How am I supposed to make him fall in love with me if he doesn't even know I exist?"

Nagtawanan silang lahat na para bang may sinabi akong nakakatawa. Si Lily lang ang huminga ng malalim at tinitigan ako maigi. "I get that you're desperate right now but it's just the rules, Sab. Either you follow it or we'll remove you from the club."

Sumimangot ako at tumingin kay Marina. Nagkibit balikat lang siya at pinagpatuloy ang pagkain.

It doesn't make any sense. Bawal lapitan at kausapin basta basta? Ano 'yon, by appointment pa dapat ang pagpapapansin? Nakakaloka.

"Don't worry, you'll get plenty of opportunities to get him to notice you. Just like today, it's the start of the semester. We are allowed to hand over our gifts to him later, that is of course if he accepts it. Russell mostly turns down what we offer to him."

Hindi na lang ako umimik dahil alam kong mahirap makipagtalo. I need to be part of Russell Riders so I can be updated on his future endeavors and present plans.

Kailangan alam ko kung saan at kailan ko siya makikita. I'll just have to get away with violating this particular rule. Kasi hindi naman pwedeng hindi ko lalapitan si Russell.

"There are plenty of students who thinks they can just talk to Russell whenever they want to so if you see one, make sure to stop that person. Let us help our King at all times."

Lily shared some inside information as well, like how the club manages to get Russell's class schedule. Kaibigan pala nila ang team manager nito.

Pero ang budget ng club, ayaw nila sabihin kung kanino galing. I think we just have a rich member who spends a lot for Russell. Sino kaya 'yon? We can be bestfriends, HAHAHA!

"And that's it. Does anyone have any question?"

Walang nagsalita kaya naman tinapos na ni Lily ang discussion. Everyone clapped their hands and continued eating our lunch.

After the opening ceremony ng school sa auditorium ay dito kami dumiretso sa club room. Wala pa naman kasing classes kaya ang mga estudyante ay pagala gala lang sa campus. They have booths on the north wing but it's too crowded there so we decided to stay here for the meantime.
