Embracing scars (COMPLETED)

11. Motive

The feud was immediately settled. The idiot didn't press any charges on us. Of course, like he would dare. The referee was fired after the authorities viewed the CCTV. There. The evidence. The sports committee of the school was also suspended for being absent in the said event.

Mikael was sent to the hospital for the X-ray kaya doon kami dumiretso matapos kaming gisahin ni President. "Dude! What a long day!" usal ni Izaac

"Girl, you are a star today!" Girly na saad ni Storm sa akin. Pasalamat siya at 'di ko siya abot. Talagang sapak ang aabutin niya from me!

"Girl, don't even start with me." Inirapan ko siya. Si Kuya Xian ngayon ang nagd-drive habang nagpaiwan sa school si Kuya Alexander para linisin ang nangyari kanina. Sumama si sweet Lili sa kanya.

"Caya, don't do it again. That was dangerous. Paano kung nasaktan ka niya?" pangaral ni Kuya.

Bibiruin ko sana siya pero sa look niya, hindi ko na tinuloy. Kuya is such a sweet cousin but you would definitely not like him

when he's pissed. "Sorry na po! I know I acted impulsively. But I can't just bear to see that idiot playing in the court with his dirty tricks!" I reasoned out

"Still. If South was not fast enough to block his punch, baka nasa hospital ka rin ngayon."

"I know naman how defend myself." Sige Cassandra! Galitin mo pa kuya mo! Narinig ko kaagad na tumawa si Kianna at Ate. Oo na. Minsan lang kasi mangaral si Kuya. And I know I'm at fault and he knows that I know it so nilulubos-lubos na niya.

"The two of you, too." He added as he glanced at my two other cousins. Napaubo si Ate Xixi habang nagpatay-malisya lang si Kianna.

Natahimik kaming tatlo sa backseat habang tawang-tawa ang gagong Izaac. Nang makarating kami sa hospital, kaka-discharge lang kay Mikael. Mabuti na lang at swollen ankle lang natamo niya.

I was expecting my parents call after the stunt I pulled at the school but luckily, hindi sila tumawag. Thanks to Kuya Alexander! After I took a refreshing bath, I laid on the soft mattress.

I just realized ..

South probably would hate me more! Napabangon ako bigla. Shit! What have I done?! Edi mas lalayo 'yun sakin! Ano ba naman 'to! And their team too. Nasira ko ang laro. Damn it!

Napasabunot ako sa sariling buhok. What should I do? Think, Caya. Think. I probably should apologize. To his team too. And to my cousins. I know and I saw how hard they worked for this championship. But I ruined it. Because of my impulsive act. Wow. I can't believe this is me, talking.

I should really apologize.

But the question is .. how?

Sa sobra kong pag-iisip ng solusyon, hindi ko namalayan na nakatulog na ako. At nang magising, I feel like I have no energy in my body. But I forced myself to get up from my bed to freshen up. After I ate my breakfast, dumiretso ako sa bahay nina Kuya to apologized. He was shocked of course.

Told you, it's not so me! Ganun din ang ginawa ko kina Izaac, Storm at Mikael. And finally! To South. I asked Kuya to extend my apology to his other teammates. Saka tinanong ko siya kung saan ko mahahagilap si South. Kuya won't tell me the address of his condo. So I just found out that he's not living with his family! Thanks, kuya! He gave me the address of the gym where he usually goes instead.

So I went back home to change my clothes. I'm now wearing my usual gym clothes. Fitted black racerback, my yoga shorts and a white running shoes. I wore it under my sweater. I don't usually go to the gym since meron naman dito sa bahay. It's a complete set kaya hindi ko na kailangang lumabas pa para mag-gym. But of course, today is an exemption.
