That Stupid Girl

It's been four years that this stupid girl has been following me around. She's the stalker in my life! And I'm too pissed whenever I see her.

She's Emma Berts, a girl with a big glasses and have a pale skin. She's not even pretty nor too ugly. She's just mediocre!

"Bryle!" Liam called me from a far.
Then he run towards me.

"What?"

"Putcha! May pa-what? What? Ka pa? Magtagalog ka nga!" he answer.

"Ano?" paasik kong tanong.
Ngumiti lamang ito saka nagsalita.

"Ayan! Better. . Hey, tawag tayo ni Coach! Practice daw natin before 4pm."

Agad akong napatingin saking relo. It's 10 minutes before 4pm.
Akala nyo siguro taga-Amerika ako dahil sa mga sinabi ko kanina. I'm Bryle Lee, 4th year high school dito sa Sta. Fe. Eh, sa magaling lang talaga ako sa English. Hobbies? I do the basketball, biking and swimming.

"Siguraduhin mong wala si Emma mamaya! Baka masira yung practice natin." saad ko sa kanya.

"Kami ng bahala dun, Dude!" sagot nito saka ngumiti ng malaki. Liam, Uzi,Eion,Seth and I have a group. We call it BLUES, which represents our name. Aside in Basketball, we do dancing, kaya nabuo yang grupo na yan.

At exactly 4pm, our practice started.

"What did you do this time?" I asked Liam when we were having our warm-ups.

"We put hot chili sauce in her footlong snack!" he whispered and laugh.
Napangiti na rin ako. I just have to do the trick with that stupid Emma, she's just too annoying for my sight. Hindi naman kami magkaibigan at never ko siyang naging close.

She started stalking me when we were a freshmen. She sents me letters,cards,flower,cakes and candies. She gives me a shirt, baseball cap and a jacket for the last 3 years of my birthdays. I never showed to her that I appreciate every effort she did. Sabi pa niya nung minsang tinanong ko siya kung ano yung nagustuhan niya sakin.

"I like you because. . . You're just you."

Wth! I got irritated with what he said. I mean, she doesn't alter something that signifies me.

Narinig namin ang pito mula kay Coach hudyat na magsisimula na. Kaya tumayo na kami. Ka-grupo ko si Liam at Seth. Habang nasa kabila si Uzi at Eion. Hinati kasi kami ni Coach para maglaro ngayon.

Tumakbo na kami sa gitna ng court at iniangat na ni Coach ang bola, pumito at sabay tumalon si Seth at Eion para makuha ang bola. Ngunit maagap si Seth kayat pinalo niya ang bola at tumalbog ito papunta kay Liam, pinasa naman ito ni Liam sakin. Kay sinalo ko at tumakbo papunta sa ring saka ko ni-shoot.

"Lee for two points!" sigaw ni Coach.

It's a good start. Sana magtuloy-tuloy.

Water break namin kaya umupo na muna kami sa may bleachers.

"Dude! Look!" sigaw ni Liam sakin. Kaya tumingin ako sa tinuro niyang direksyon.

There! Sa left side ng bleachers nakaupo si Emma kasama ang bestfriend niya na si Mia, na pinsan naman ni Uzi.
Nakita kong kumagat na si Emma sa footlong snack.

"Maanghang ba talaga yan?" I asked Liam ng makalapit na ito sakin.

"Maanghang na maanghang na maanghang." bulong nito sabay akbay sakin. Napangisi na rin lang ako sa kanya.

Ngunit nang mapalingon ulit ako sa inuupuan nila Emma ay nakita kong pumula na ang mukha nito at parang nahihirapan itong huminga.

"Uziiiiii! Help!" biglang sigaw ni Mia na nasa tabi ni Emma. Napalingon naman sila Uzi sa kanila at ng mapansin ang itsura ni Emma ay agad itong tumakbo.
