I need to focus..
Regular class is starting..
Pumunta ako kanina sa mga member ng sport club to check what's new.
Wala pa namang mga nagpapalista sa grade school na gusto matuto ng archery. Sabagay masyado pa namang maaga, I mean June pa lang.
Ganun din sa judo and taekwando.
"Ms. Garcia, Mrs. Gomes wants to talk to you. Puntahan mo daw sya sa office nya ngayon." -
"Ano naman kaya ngayon kailangan nya this time? "
Angelie is my secretary here in sport club, parehas kaming senior and she also one of the lady in the twelve wild flowers.
"Dunno.. Puntahan mo na lang," - Angelie
Kung bipolar ako, mas bipolar sya. Slaight mataray ako, sya naman prinsesa ng matataray. And a loner.
She likes reading books than to go party. Her hobby bukod sa pagbabasa? Boxing and Arnis.
She's a friend you can trust and lean on, a good listener.
Humugot muna ako ng isang malalim na paghinga bago kumatok sa pintuan ng inookupahang office ni Mrs. Gomes.
"Come in!" - Mrs. Gomes
"Hi Margareth, anong satin? Ang aga mo naman ako ipatawag kay Ms. Secretary."
"I miss you that's why mhel," - Mrs. Gomes
Kung hindi ko lang kilala itong si Margareth (Mrs. Gomes) iisipin kong finiflirt nya ako. 😅
But Margareth is the daughter of my mothers best friend. And she's married. straight obviously.
I have a crush on margareth when I was 19,and until now naman but not to the point na gugustuhin kong ipaalam sakanya yun.
"Well.. I miss you too margareth.😉"
"Hahaha let's get serious," - margareth
"Okay.." - ako
"I need you to be the right hand of coach De Leon, mhel."
"Wait! What! Again?"- ako
"You heard it." - margareth (Gomes)
"But margareth?! Senior pa lang ako, its not my line and you know it!" Sunod sunod ang ginawa kong pag iling. Pano naman ang badminton? Two weeks from now mag i start na ang training ko dun.
"It was only temporary Mhel, habang wala pa yung nakuha na right hand ni coach. And wala pa kasi siya he's still on his vacation with his wife."
"Then bakit ako? Why not you send a message to De Leon that his vacation is through?" Hindi ko pwede basta na lang idrop ang usapan na'to at pumayag. Ayoko.
"She extend his vacation. Her wife is pregnant. And we all know how they longed it to come.right mhel?"
Damn it
"How long?" - ako
Nakita ko na napangiti si Margareth, obviously she won. Ginamitan na naman nya ako ng what they call 'guilty feelings'.
"Not too long.. Hanggang sa dumating lang yung nirecommend ni DeLeon na right hand nya."
"Kelan naman yun darating?"
"Two weeks from now." - Margareth
Okay, not bad two weeks from now din naman ang start ng practice ko sa badminton.
Dumeretso na ako sa gym pag kagaling ko sa office ni Margareth. And naabutan ko ang player ng volleyball na nagpa practice na.
Hindi naman ang mga senior ang tututukan ko dito kondi ang mga bago.
This will going to be a hell week for me.

Because of my natural charm 😉 and bonus na lang yung halos lahat ng studyante dito sa university kilala ako madali kong nakapalagayang loob lahat ng volleyball players kahit yung mga bleachers at freshman.
"Coach! Come with us, kakain kami sa cafeteria treat ka namin since this is your first day." Joy yata ang name nya. I'm not sure pa
"Okay." Naisip ko na pumayag na din since gutom na din ako. I need diversion cause I'm starting to think her again. Any minutes andito na din sya sa university. 10am ngayon ang class nya.
Okay! Inalam ko ang schedule ng mga subject nya at building.
Lumakad na kami papuntang cafeteria at yung mga player, nagkukwentuhan at nagaasaran habang ako naman ay nauunang maglakad sakanila. Tinanong ako ng isa sa mga member at naobliga akong tignan sya.
I was about to push the door ng may naramdaman akong malambot na nahawakan. Funny but somehow the feeling is so familiar.
It's Ella
Mukhang nakasabay ko syang tutulak sana sa pinto ng cafe.
Then I realise, something.. Hindi ako galit o ano pa man sakanya about sa nasabi nya sakin.
What I feel is I missed her.
I looked into her eyes, I want to tell her something but my mouth still shut.
I want to tell her that I am not what she thinks of me, that I'm not gonna play with her and make her my past time.
Too early to know.. Yes.. But I am willing to take it step by step with her.
Pero pwede rin namang magpretend na galit pa ako sakanya dahil sa mga sinabi nya.
"I saw you flirting with random girls!"
Not exact words pero ito yung sinabi nya sakin. Masakit sa ulo kasi kahit anong hugot ko sa utak ko wala akong matandaang may finlirt ako na ibang babae.
"Hey Mhel, aren't we going inside?"
Tanong nung isang kasama ko na player.
"Excuse me." I just thought I need to be tough on her, well ngayon lang naman. She need to realise that jumping ang accused someone without giving it a second thought was wrong.
Medyo na badtrip ako kasi hindi man lang nya ako tinawag or kinamusta.
Kaya tinalikuran ko na lang sya at umupo sa table na inukupa ng mga kasama ko.
Uminit ang ulo ko ng lumingon ako sakanya. Bakit di ko napansin na kasama nya pala yung babae na yun ulit? Shit!
She's accusing me of something samantalang sya naman ang gumagawa!
I need to change my plan.
Kung hindi ako magmamadali, for sure lahat ng lalapit sakanya ipapa murder ko talaga. Because my jealousy start eating my whole system.
Gustong gusto ko na talaga syang lapitan at hablutin palayo sa italianang hilaw na kasama nya. Bakot ba kasi kasama na naman nya yung babae na yun?! Mag ano ba sila kasi?!
I was about to stand to confront her ng marinig ko yung kasama nya na nagmamadali ng nagaya umalis ng cafeteria.
At ang kutong lupa, talagang natataranta pa! Hindi pa nga nya natatapos yung sandwich nya!
Hinatid ko na lang ng tingin si Ella hanggang makalabas sya ng pinto. May lunch break pa naman at uwian, makakapag hintay pa ako kahit ilang oras lang.
"Arg! No, I can't wait more time!"

Thanks for reading 😘😘😘
