Clash of the Campus Royalties

CHAPTER 21: Start of Something New

" Why? Don't like it? Should I call you L - - - "

" 'Course not! I like it. For a change. " He said cutting me out. That's when my hidden smile showed on its own as it mirrored his.

Then he walked pass me saying. . . .

"It's nice. E and A. "

And with that, he left me smiling while walking to the gymnasium. E and A, huh.

EZRA JENN'S POV

Finally, this day had come! Actually, hindi ako sigurado sa naging desisyon namin. It's not that I doubt the things we've plan but I'm just having an issue with all the effects this matter will have.

" Do you think this would work? " I asked Harry who's walking by my side.

I admit that I'm still awkward and all when talking to him in front of many people but when it's just us, it seems okay. The comfortable feeling is still there.

" You've been asking me that for the nth time, Ez. Give yourself a break! " he answered rolling his eyes.

" I just can't help it. You know, hindi magiging madali ang lahat. "

"I didn't bother to look at him. I just look straight at mas lalo naming dumagdag ang kabang nararamdaman ko ng makita ko na ang gymnasium namin. We're few steps away already.

I stopped in my tracks when Harry stopped right in front of me. His dark brown eyes met mine than it made me forgot when I am now.

" Listen here, Ezra Jenn. We are all feeling the same right now. A piece of excitement and anxiety are both rushing through us but believe me, kaya natin to. Believe Allex and Enzo. They're our foundation in this challenge all we can do is help them strengthen this. They might be our foundation but we are their blocks. Without us, they can't stand and same goes for us. So let's be a help to one another, eh? "

I blinked a few times at him. Wow. I never expected that outburst from him. Harry has always been the composed one out of the five boys with of course, Kieth joining him.

" Great words of encouragement there, Flores. But we really need to get going. " Sabay kaming napalingon sa pinangalingan ng boses to find the others standing few steps away from us and it's Enzo who spoke. Michelle, Ethel and Camille is giving me their sweetest smile while Allex is givng me the "we-can-do-this look".

" Whatever, dude. " Harry retorts back as he rolls his eyes and drag me with him to our friends/. This guys really.

ALLEXZANDRIA'S POV

I'm breaking in cold sweat for goodness' sake! I'm too tensed! Kasalukuyan kaming nasa backstage ng gymnasium and the crowd's noise doesn't help me calm my system. It's as if I'm going to ride a rollercoaster in full speed alone. Sobrang dami ng nasa isip ko ngayon. So many 'what if's' are flashing through my mind and it's making my system worst.

" You need to calm down, Lex. " I turned to see the rest with a worried expression written all over their faces.

" I'm fine, guys. " Of course, you are not.

" We just can radio telecast this if you're not ready to fa- "

" NO! " I shouted cutting Rence what has to say.
