Hot and Cold

Thirty

"And the lady knights took back the set earning a one game lead against the lady phoenix!"

I am out of breath pero randam na randam ko pa rin ang saya ng makita kong nagsitalunan ang mga kasama ko. We just won the first game, one more game to win and we're the champions once again. I looked around the gym, unconsciously looking for someone. I bit back a smile when I saw a familiar figure not so away from our bench. I know I'm not supposed to react this way, I promised myself that last time would be enough, but why the hell am I acting like this?! Argh.

"Tara na captain!"

Before I shifted my gaze away from him, he looked at me with a foreign expression on his supposed expressionless face. He looks--like his in pain.

His reaction got me kaya kahit pa nagsihiyawan na't lahat lahat ang mga kaibigan ko sa loob ng clubroom ay hindi ko pa rin maialis ang isip ko sa kanya. That is why when our coach finished giving us some after game lectures, I immediately went outside to look for him.

And I know this is a dumb thing to do since I'm supposedly moving on from him, but here I am, looking around like crazy, hoping that I'll see that damn student council president.

The school is quite packed today, sabay kasi ang championship games ng ibang indoor sports, that is why sobrang daming tao dito ngayon making it harder to look for him.

"Ayumi"

My heart jolted when I heard his familiar voice behind me. I am in the middle of the crowd kaya medyo nawalan na ako ng pag asang makita sya, luck must be on my side today dahil sya na mismo ang lumapit sa akin.

"Fiero" I said softly. not even sure why the hell my voice sounded like that.

Nakakunot ang noo nya habang may malalamig na titig na iginawad sa akin. He seems upset over something.

"What are you doing here?"

His question caught me off guard. Di agad ako nakasagot. No way in hell would I tell him na kaya ako nandito dahil naba-bother ako sa reaction nya kanina. I was busy formulating an excuse when he suddenly pulled me closer to him making me gasp.

"What--"

I trailed when he put his hands on my waist and guided me away from the wild crowd. I don't know kung bakit ganun na lang karami ang tao sa field, indoor games are held inside the gyms so why are they making a commotion here?

"A certain celebrity is playing football right now, that is why" He answered to my my unspoken question.

I nodded. I still don't know what to say. Now I regret coming here. I don't think I can get away from here agad. His hands are on my waist, still guiding me away from that area. I can feel the stares around me, alam ko ding mas maraming nakatingin sa kanya. Well, who wouldn't be attracted to him? Those white complexion, Tall height, green eyes, handsome face, yummy lips--alright, that's enough. I should stop swooning over my fucking ex. argh!

"Fuck"

His hard cuss drag me from my reverie, naramdaman ko ang pag higpit ng hawak nya sa bewang ko at ang pagbilis ng paglalakad nya. I heard him curse once again when I tried to slow down our pace.

"Hurry the fuck up Ayumi"

But then again, I was born stubborn. Mas lalo ko pang binagalan ang lakad ko. Randam ko ang gigil nya pero hindi nya ako magawang itulak. I can feel my lips twitching.
