"Go Arellano Chiefs!"
"Hail to the Chiefs!"
"Kaya mo 'yan, Asher!"
"Go, King of the Court!"
Iyan ang mga iilang sigaw na naririnig sa buong venue.
Wearing their combination of gray and blue basketball uniforms, they are seriously playing.
"Three points for Gonzales!" the announcer said.
"Go, Asher!" Sigaw ko.
Napatingin ako sa paligid at maraming napalingon sa akin dahil sa aking pagsigaw.
"Ang supportive naman ng Claire namin." Bulong ni Marie sa akin.
I just shrugged my shoulder.
The current score now is 50-47. Their opponent is also a great school.
Lyceum. The school where Gray graduated.
"Another point for Arellano Chiefs!"
Halos mabingi kami dahil sabay-sabay na kaming sumisigaw ng chant.
"Hail to the Chiefs!"
"Hail to the Chiefs!"
"Hail to the Chiefs!"
"For the last quarter, who will win this season?"
Napatingin ako sa kinaroroonan ni Asher. He's doing great.
Napakapit ako sa kaniya, "Last ten seconds na lang, Marie."
"He will finish the game, Claire," she assured.
"Three points again for Gonzales!"
Narinig ko na ang buzzer at napatingin ako sa score.
Our school won!
Screaming, shouting, and rejoicing of people covered the hall venue.
"We won!" Marie shouted, joyfully.
I chuckled, "Well, we have the best team captain."
"Hinahanap ka yata, oh. Puntahan mo na," she teased while pointing at Asher.
I shifted my eyes to him.
When our eyes met, he smiled and ran closer to our seats.
"Ayan na, oh. Sana all." Tinulak ako ni Marie papunta kay Asher.
Mabuti nalang at nasa unahan kami dahil 'yung tickets na binigay niya ay VIP.
"Hi, Captain. You did great." Pagbati ko sa kaniya.
"I've been texting you before the game started but you didn't reply." Malungkot niyang sabi.
Cute!
Tumingala ako sa kaniya, "Sorry, I'm busy preparing for this day. For you...I mean, for your game."
He inched forward, hugging me, "I appreciate your support, Claire."
Maraming nagbulungan, kumuha ng litrato at nagtilian sa kaniyang ginawa.
Bumitaw ako sa yakap, "Narito lang ako palagi."
"You are with me?" he asked, tugging a lock of hair behind my ear.
I nodded, "Hmm, I'm always with you, Captain."
