Pagkatapos ng rehearsal namin ay pumunta ako sa room namin. I thought Nicko was there. But I was shocked when I found the shirtless Yvo. He was shocked as well.

Sweats was dripping down on his body. He has a towel hanging on his neck and a shirt on his right hand. Maybe he was going to change his clothes here. Wala na rin kasing mga tao na dumadaan sa hallway. Uwian na ng halos karamihan sa building na 'to.

I looked away when I realized that I stared at him for a long time.

"Sorry." I said before going out of the room.

My face heated. Talagang tumunganga pa ako doon bago ko naisipang umiwas!

What the hell?!

Nakasalubong ko si Nicko.

"Galing ka sa room?" He asked.

"Oo, may kinuha lang ako."

"Are you okay?"

"H-huh?"

"Namumula ka. May kinain ka ba? Baka na allergy ka."

My face heated more.

What. The. Hell?!

"Ah b-baka namula lang kasi hindi a-ako nagpayong papunta dito." I tried to sound calm as I can but I failed.

"I went to your club's office but they told me that you went to our classroom."

Yeah. I thought you're there. Kahiya no'ng ginawa ko kanina.

Naglalakad kami palabas ng gate.

"Good luck for tomorrow, Lori." He told me.

"Mas lalo akong kinabahan." I chuckled.

"Kaya mo 'yan! Manonood ako."

I just smiled at him.

Hinahatid ako ni Nicko palagi kapag uwian. Kahit galing pa siya sa practice ay naglalakad kami pauwi. Masaya raw mag-long walk. Minsan nga nagrereklamo na ako sa kaniya kasi nangangalay na mga binti ko kakalakad. Naka-heels pa naman ako minsan.

Pagkarating ko sa bahay ay agad akong nagbihis at nagluto ng kakainin namin ni ate mamayang hapunan.

Nakaupo ako sa island counter at nagbabantay ng niluluto. I scrolled through my social media app.

Suddenly, I received a text message. I thought it was from Nicko but it came from someone who was not in the list of my contacts.

Did you get home safe?

It takes me for a minute before I respond.

Who's this?

Unknown
Good luck for tomorrow ;)

Hindi naman sinasagot ang tanong ko. Bakit kilala ako nito? Saan niya nakuha ang number ko?

Where did you get my number?
