[1] Rivals (The Championship)

Start from the beginning
                                    

During our training for upcoming next season 81.

"Girls! Bawi tayo girls ha? Sana this time sa atin naman pumanig ang upcoming season. Sana Mmakapagchampion naman tayo" - Ate Si said with full of determination to win. And she always does naman.

"Yes captain!" All of us said except ate Si.

We know how important the upcoming season for ate Si is since it will be her last playing year in UAAP for our school, UST.

I really learned a lot from ate Si since I was her beach volleyball partner last time. I saw how passionate and dedicated she is sa sports na ito. 

"Sana tayo magchampion this season. Para kay ate Si and kay Coach" Alina said.

"I'm so sorry guys ha. I know nagkukulang ako." MaFe said glumly blaming herself. As a play-maker and setter, nakapahirap and laki ng responsibilitysa kanila.

"No. We know you're doing your very best. Hindi lang naman setter ng nasa loob ng court, di ba?" - Milena trying to cheer MaFe up.

"Tama! Pagpanalo tayo, tayong lahat may gawa no'n. Kung talo tayo, lahat tayo have something to improve on for the next game. And ang galing n'yo kaya ni Alina magset." I said knowing for a fact that everyone of us are doing our best.

Kampante din kami kasi ate Ej's younger sister, Eya is finally here joining our team. For sure, she'll be the rookie of the year. Napakagaling niya.




Fast forward...

Season 81 came...

We made it to the Finals/championship round. All of us are so happy kasi finally we now have a chance to get that championship. Grabe ang pinakita ng buong team especially, ate Si and Eya na naging rookie of the year. Ang aming mantra and sigaw ng fans namin, "Kami naman!" "Ibalik ang korona sa España!". And sana nga, kami naman this time!

It is us, UST Golden Tigresses against the Ateneo Lady Blue Eagles.












Bea

It was another "almost" season for us. Kinapos ang team this season 80 but we know that we did our best. And we really wanna make bawi this upcoming season 81. This will be the most important season for me 'coz this will be my last playing year.

As a team captain, I need to boost the confidence of my teammates. And I know this time, we will get that championship.

"Ate Bei, I know this will be your last playing year. Same goes with ate Kim and ate Mads. So, asahan mo that we will do our best para this time, magchampion tayo" Deanna assured me.

"Thanks, Deans!" I replied and smiled.

"Yes team, please. Gusto ko namang grumaduate ng champion oh!" Mads joked. Well, true enough 'cause even me gusto ko din grumaduate ng champion.

"Same here, guys!" Kim said and threw the volleyball to the other side of the gym.

"Yes! For Bea, ate Mads and ate Kim! Let's go ALE!" Pongs shouted.

And all of us shouted "One Big Fight!"

Then, we continued with our training.

I am exhaustingly swamped lately since am I also a graduating student and upcoming season is fast approaching.

But I need to focus if I want to get that championship and to graduate.

And another thing is, naging mas kilala na ako ngayon since I am now the team captain of Ateneo. Aside from that, I am being linked to Thirdy, one of our school's basketball players. We are very good friends, I should say. I admit, he courted me thrice already1 but I only see him as a good guy friend. He is quite known since his brother once also became part of the basketball team and many fans adore him. Another thing is, many of the fans misunderstood my closeness with Jho. They're shipping us. They say, we're so nakakakilig daw. But we are really just friends. A super close one. That's all there is to it. And we're better off this way.
