"Hello babe?" Joshua's voice lingered to my ears. God damn, I miss him so much.

"You home already, Juswah?" I asked and I heard him sighed, "I'm not yet home, I'm not in your arms pa eh." he says while chuckling.

"Ha? Di ko gets..." I muttered.

"Aside from four walls, you're also my home Michelle." sabi niya. My heart started beating so fast and I can feel the butterflies in my stomach.

"Haha, babe. I'm here in my condominium already. I can't wait to see you," he said with full of enthusiasm.

"Can't wait to see you too, oldie." I chuckled. I can imagine his face frowning right now dahil ayaw niya na tinatawag siyang oldie.

"I'll watch your game later, good luck my champ!" Josh said before ending the call. I kept my phone in my pocket and smiled widely while walking my way back inside.

My teammates were nowhere to be found-maybe they're all in their rooms already. I decided to go upstairs as well para makahiga at makapahinga.

But before I could do that, lumabas si Ate Kianna at biglang sumigaw sa buong dorm causing everyone to go out of their rooms.

"Guys prepare na daw sabi ni coach! The coaster will arrive in any minute!" she shouted at bigla naman kaming nagpaunahan papuntang banyo dahil dalawang banyo lang ang meron dito sa dorm. Isa sa taas-near the rooms and the other one is in the kitchen. As usual, isa ako sa mga nahuli dahil mga kalaban ko mahahaba ang legs. Ano ba naman ang laban ko kila Ate Majoy, Ate Tin and Aduke diba?

After we took a bath, nagligpit na kami ng mga gamit namin at nagtipon-tipon kami sa sala para antayin ang coaster na sasakyan namin papuntang Araneta Coliseum.

I wore my Animo Nation shirt with my surname and jersey number at the back. Nagkukulitan ulit ang buong team and I'm thankful that they didn't ask for further details about what happened yesterday.

We heard the loud horn of the coaster outside of our dorm kaya we immediately went outside para makaalis na kami. It's 12 pm and for sure, we'll stop by into a restaurant before heading directly to the venue.

"Good noon, mga kots!" masiglang bati ni Ate Tin sa mga coaches namin. Isa-isa kaming umupo sa upuan and I sit beside Ate Arriane.

"Hi Baby rookie!" bati niya sabay pisil ng cheeks ko. "Hello Ate Arriane," I greeted her back at sumandal ako sa bintana dahil medyo nahihilo ako sa byahe.

"Brent wake the fuck up!" sigaw ko sa kanya habang paulit-ulit na hinahampas ang unan sa mukha niya pero tulog mantika pa din si pango!

"Pre! Puta!" I cussed dahil hindi ko mapigilan ang hindi mainis sa kanya. I've been waking him up since 12:30, and it's freaking 1:15 di pa din siya magising.

"Bro, what's wrong?" Ben suddenly entered the room. His forehead were creased at napatingin naman siya sa tulog mantikang si Brent. Mukhang nagets niya ang problema ko kaya pumunta siya malapit kay pango at binigyan niya ng isang malakas na pitik sa ilong.

"ARAY!" napahawak si Brent sa ilong niya at unti-unting binuksan ang maliit niyang mata.

"Daddy Ben?!" singhal ni Brent at bigla naman siyang tumayo. "We're going to watch the championship game today, hobo." sabi ni Ben, Brent widened his eyes at napatingin siya sa cellphone niya.
