Gambling in Love

CHAPTER 4: Varsity

I looked around the room. God knows how bored everyone was. Shieva was already retouching her make-up and Dania was combing her hair habang nagpapacute kay Lexter na inip na din.

Halos lahat busy sa kani-kanilang mga ginagawa and only a few was listening sa prof namin na paulit-ulit lang naman ang tinuturo.

Our class last for 4 hours and there's still 30 minutes left before it ends. Hindi ko nga maintindihan kung paano ba nagagawang pagtyagaan ng prof na 'to na ituro ang napakadali namang lesson ng paulit-ulit.

Minor subjects and its bida bidang profs, argh.

I tapped my fingers on the table. Damn bakit ba ang tagal ng oras. I wanted to see Trick.

Parang torture ang paghihintay ng 30 minutes na natitirang oras sa klase namin, iba't ibang bagay na ang pinagkaabalahan ko para lang madistract sa paghihintay na matapos ang oras pero parang pagong ang takbo ng oras sa sobrang bagal nito.

My phone vibrated on my handbag at mabilis kong kinuha iyon.

"Championship starts at 3, where you at Alexa? Ipapasundo na kita kay Nix." sabi sa text ni Trick saakin.

I typed, "I'm on my class, E-304 Trick. Class ends at 3. I'll be there, you don't have to send Nix here. I can handle." at agad na pinindot ang send button.

"You sure? Okay, take care and don't cut class." he replied.

I was so close to cutting class Trick, if you only knew how bored I was here.

"I know, I know. It's torture but i'll wait. Goodluck and take care. I love you." I immediately replied.

Napangiti ako at saglit pang hinintay na matapos na ang klase at mapanood na siyang maglaro.

Nagmamadali ang lahat na makalabas ng room and I didn't want to be siksik so pinauna ko na sila.

"Girl hindi ka ba manonood? Let's go na."

"I know the way to the court Dania, you don't have to drag me." mataray kong puna sa paghila niya saakin. "Mauna na kayo, I'll buy Trick a drink."

"Ay ang sweet naman, sige girl mauna na kami. Make it fast simula na daw ng game." pagsingit ni Shieva sa usapan namin ni Dania.

Hindi na ako sumagot sakanila. I went to the Cafeteria at nagmadaling bumili. Mabilis ko naman nabili yung water but someone bumped into me kaya nahulog ito. What a freakin' ass, kung kelan nagmamadali ako.

"Watch where you're going mister." inis na sigaw ko sa lalaking nakabangga saakin at nagmadaling pulutin ang nahulog na bote. I glared at him and immdediately went to the court.

Pasalamat siya dahil nagmamadali ako at hindi ko na yun ginawang big deal.

I opened the door as soon as I reached the entrance at tumambad saakin ang iba't ibang department ng college pati na rin ang mga banners na ginawa nila.

I held my chin and confidently walked. I saw how I caught some attention and smiled.

I looked for Trick's teammates as I saw him dashingly dribbling the ball. Damn he's just good at playing this game. Everyone was shouting for him.

Seems like seryoso ang laban between the two team, Trick's team and Clive's.

I didn't know na sila pala ang magkalaban. Ilang saglit pa ay nagtawag ng time-out ang team nila Trick pero imbis na sa bleachers dumiretso si Trick ay papalapit siya sa aking direksyon.

"Bakit ngayon ka lang? Kanina pa kita hinahanap. Sit besides my teammates, or you want to support your department?" I shook my head and sumunod na lang sakanya.
