ARA
Napakatagal nga naman.
Naiihi na ako.
Sasabog na friend.
"Ate A are you okay?" Kianna asked. We're currently here inside this arena. Reclaiming what we lost about two years ago, same place where we lost it.
"Okay lang syempre! Ano ka ba naman! Tara focus tayo. Bantayan niyo to ah" I pointed Bea De Leon in front of me.
"Number 18 out, number 16 in" Sabi ng barker for the game today.
Friend, konti na lang talaga sasabog na.
"Oh, papasok to ng quick, cover tayo sa likod." Sabi ko muli.
"Weh. Ate A, di ka mapakali Sure ka ba talaga?" Kianna asked once again. Kaysa naman sabihin kong sasabog na yung pantog ko diba.
Hindi ko na sinagot si Kianna dahil nakita ko ng pumasok ang service ni Kimmy.
"Nice serve!" Dawn shouted.
Jia bended her knees and tossed the ball to none other than their ace player, Alyssa. Umaatras na ko for defense while Majoy and Kianna hustled for a block.
"OOOOOOH!" Majoy and Kianna got an offensive block.
We quickly huddled and eto na naman si Kianna tinignan ako nang may halong pagdududa.
Hindi ko na lang siya pinansin. Pasaway talaga.
We went back sa harap ng net para muling mag ready nang...
"TIME OUT ATENEO."
"Yes..." pabulong kong sinabi habang naglalakad kami papunta sa bench.
Isa isa kaming inapiran ni Coach Ramil and Noel but immediately started coaching.
"Coach." I called coach Noel's attention. "Sub muna ako pag balik. Sobrang naiihi na kasi ako talaga." Coach chuckled.
"Hay nako kang bata talaga. Last set na oh." He said while pointing the big screen.
"Saglit lang talaga to coach, bukas naman yung dug-out diba po"
"Oh sige na. Tin! Palitan mo muna si Ara" He looked for my substitution paddle and gave it to Tintin.
Nang narinig na naman ang buzzer. Naglakad na kami agad pabalik ng court.
"Subsitution. Number 8 out, number 15 in" Nag jog ako papunta kay Tin at kinuha yung paddle na hawak niya.
"Thanks tintin..."
"Takbo na ate! Sasabog na!"
Nilagay ko na yung paddle agad at tumakbo papuntang dug-out with PT Lace.

Oh. Anong nanyare dun?
"Easy paps. Baka nag cr lang" Jeron said.
"Pinagsasabi mo?" I asked him obviously denying na hindi ako nag aalala kay Ara.
"Shut up na lang ako, sabi ko nga"
He knows I don't want to make the conversation long.

Hi readers. It's actually 1 am in the morning, and I can't even sleep. Well I guess some authors started off this way too, right?
I'll be trying my luck in writing. Hope you would all like this.
