I went to school earlier than the usual this day not that I'm excited on anything regarding school but I badly needed to go inorder to make a reaction paper sa lecture ni Miss Dimaculangan kahapon.

"Janna." pukaw ni Greg sa atensyon ko dahil abala ako sa pagsusulat sa yellow paper.

"Bakit?"

"May utang ka pa sa akin baka magkalimutan na kaya ipapaalala ko na sa iyo habang maaga. Hindi ka nanood noong isang araw so you have to watch the first match against Yellow Tigers."

"Depende. Mananalo ba ang mga pulang pusang team mo laban sa dilaw na tigre? You know me, Greg. Not a fan of basketball or any sport kaya mabobore lang ako doon at isa pa handa ka bang pagtawanan ko kayo ni Luke if ever I witness your wimpness?"

"Sakit mo magsalita. One, me and Luke are not a wimp. And to answer your question kung mananalo kami. Yes, we will and that's for sure."

We heard David scoff. So the guy was actually eavesdropping all the while. Natawa ako ng makita kong pinukol sya ni Greg ng nakakamatay na tingin.

"You have anything to say, Antonio?" Greg asked him.

"Yes, I do. But I don't think your pea sized brain will be able to understand it." he arrogantly answered.

"Ooooohhhhh!!! David Antonio, one point!" sabi ko at iniumang ang kanang kamay ko sa kanya para makipag-high five. I know it's mean that I am siding with him rather than my own bestfriend pero mukha kasing entertaining panoorin ang dalawang naglalakihang lalaki na ito na magsikmatan.

David looked at me confused sa una pero tinanggap nya ang high five ko.

"Tell me what you wanted to say." Greg said gritting his teeth.

"I know your team won't stand a chance to win against mine. You guys lax too much based on the practice I saw. I was actually observing your team for about a week now."

Ah! Dyan naman ako hindi papayag. Ang harap harapan nyang insultuhin ang performance ng Red Bob Cats. I know how much effort they weild every practice game just to win any basketball match.

Greg was about to speak but I refrain him. "Ako bahala dito." sabi ko pa. Hinarap ko si David.

"You have no right to insult our team! You just saw their practice for a week and not like forever, so you still don't know what they can practically pull during the game, just to win over your team. And does it ever occur to you, that maybe they just wanted to keep their moves a secret, since they know that some players from the visiting team would be spying on them. Besides I will bet anything that Red Bobcats can beat the hell out of your lame Yellow Tigers next week."

Takte! Sumakit ang ulo ko sa dami ng english words na lumabas sa bibig ko. I need a KitKat later dahil sabi nga 'Have a break, Have a KitKat.'

He looked amused with my outburst at sa kalmadong boses ay nagsalita.

"Then let's bet on it, Janna. What do you want?"

Natigilan ako. Did he just actually called me by my name? Bakit parang iba ang dating ng pangalan ko coming from his lips. Pero teka, wala akong time mag-analyze ng ganung bagay. Game pala syang makipagpustahan sa akin. Slip of the tongue ko lang naman iyon pero dahil nakakahiyang umurong. Gora! Aja!

"I want a free pizza and KitKat chocolates for a month."

Napatingin sa akin sila David at Greg na para bang isa akong alien bago sabay na tumawa. May nakakatawa ba sa sinabi ko? At bakit sabay silang tumatawa ngayon, bati na sila agad agad?

"I can't believe this. Iyon lang ang gusto mo?" asked David. I nodded in response.

"Okay. I can provide you that free pizza and KitKat chocolates for a month that you really wanted." he said emphasizing the 'really wanted'.

Now ako naman ang nagtanong. "Eh, ikaw ano gusto mo sa akin?"

Tinitigan nya ako mula ulo hanggang paa na may kalakip na malisya. "Oh, there's a lot I want from you, Janna."

Binatukan ko sya. "Perv. Hindi pwede yang iniisip mo." sikmat ko.

"Ano ba sa tingin mo ang iniisip ko? Can you dance?"

Natawa ako sa tanong nya. Dance? Sayaw? Baila? Chicken Feed! "Of course I can. Hindi mo ba napanood yung banana dance ko kay Miss Dimaculangan kahapon?"

"How about you dance a certain Beyoncè or Pussycat Dolls song during lunch sa canteen at dahil you asked for two things patas lang na humiling pa ako ng isa..." nilapit nya ang mukha nya sa akin at bumulong "You go on a date with me."

OMG! Why does his voice sounded so sexy that it send shivers down to my spine.

"No way!" sabi ko ng mahimasmasan. Date?! I am not insane to date a player like him. "Think of something else."

"Take it or leave it." sabi nya na ngiting aso. Then hinarap nya si Greg and said "Your bestfriend here doesn't have enough confidence with you to make a bet with me. So it only means that your team can't win next week."

"FINE! Gagawin ko na ang gusto mo. So the bet is on." defeated I said.

"Sure, babe." he said with matching wink.

"Whatever. And don't call me 'Babe' cause I'm not a pig." I hissed.

On the side is Janna -------->
