Third Person POV
"Hoy! Tangina mo, Rindou!"
Sigaw ni Ran sa pintuan ng kwarto ni Rindou habang kinakatok ito, or let's say hinahampas nalang. It's currently six in the morning and may klase pa sila mamayang seven.
"Hoy! Papasukin mo 'ko, Rindou!"
"Pasok! Putangina umagang umaga eh." Sigaw ni Rindou sa loob habang nakahiga pa sa kama at kakagising lang. Siya 'yung tipong kapatid na kailangan pang gisingin kapag may pasok. Tapos ang kalat ng kwarto at naka toss pa ang t-shirts at gamit gamit sa sulok.
"Tignan mo!"
Sigaw ni Ran as he barged inside his brother's room habang hawak hawak ang phone niya. Tumakbo ito papuntang kama ni Rindou at niyugyog ang kapatid niya na mapayang natutulog.
"Imburnal yata 'tong napasukan ko eh, hindi kwarto." Bulong ni Ran nang inobserbahan ang kwarto ni Rindou.
"Ano ba 'yon?" Rindou groaned while half-asleep.
"May kwento ako, bro!" Pagkukulit at sigaw ni Ran nang ginulo ang kapatid niya sa kama na pinipilit magising.
"Inaantok pa ako." Rindou groggily replied while snoring, at may laway pa na tumutulo sa gilid ng bibig.
"Shit! Na ano ko na yung letter! Holy shit dude!" Sigaw ni Ran nang pinaghahampas pa ang kapatid niya at tumalon pa sa kama na parang batang excited dahil nakakuha ng candy.
"Hmm..." Si Rindou naman ay hindi parin nagigising sa tulog kahit anong gulo ang ginagawa ng kapatid niya.
"Hoy! Rindou! Gising! May pasok pa tayo!" Sigaw ni Ran nang halos batuhin niya ng mga unan si Rindou na mapayapang natutulog.
"WAKE UPPPP!" And there, tumalon si Ran sa kama at nag dive kay Rindou, "BOOM!"
"Huh— Aray!" Biglang nagising si Rindou pero nahulog ito sa kama. Nadaganan pa ito ni Ran.
"HAHAHAHA!" Lakas na tawa ni Ran, "Alam mo ba?"
"Hindi, malamang." Sagot ni Rindou habang kinakamot ang pwet, masakit daw sa pagkahulog.
"Malamang hindi ko pa sinasabi, bobo talaga neto kahit kelan." Sabi ni Ran.
"Ano ba kasi 'yon?" Napakamot sa ulo si Rindou.
"Y-yung ano—" Nauutal naman si Ran. "the Baguio thing."
"Baguio?" Rindou scrunched his brows. "Ano meron doon?"
"Do I really need to say it, dude? Seriously?"
"Huh? Hindi ko gets...? Wait lang kasi tangina kakagising ko lang tapos ang dami mong ebas!" Reklamo ni Rindou.
Napaisip nang saglit si Rindou, at lumaki ang mga mata nang narealize, "Seryoso?!"
"Oo, kaya putangina mo magising ka na." Sabi ni Ran nang sinampal palayo ang mukha ni Rindou na nahulog ulit sa sahig.
"Nakakailan ka na ah!" Sigaw ni Rindou nang tumayo sa sahig at susuntukin sana kuya niya, pero umilag lang si Ran kaya't nasuntok tuloy ni Rindou yung pader, "Aray!"
"Bye, I'mma head back to my room." Ran whistled as he left his brother's room.
"By the way, bro. Papasa ako ng lighter mamaya, aight?" Ran turned his head back as he did a smoking motion with his fingers and then completely walked off.
"Tangina mo, sunugin ko 'yang baga mo eh." Sagot ni Rindou
"Welcome back, Madame Haitani Rochelle."
The servants greeted as Mrs. Haitani entered their mansion after a business trip.
She lavishly greeted and waved as she removed her leopard print sunglasses, then proceeded upstairs with her guards and servants bringing her suitcases from behind.
"Where are my sons? Do they know that I'm returning?" She raised a brow.
"Mr. Haitani Ran and Rindou are upstairs, getting ready for school, and no, they were not informed, madame." One of the servants informed.
Mrs. Haitani's eyes glared as she walked upstairs, "Tsk."
"S-should we inform, madame—?"
"No need." Rochelle sighed.
The servants looked at each other nervously, side-eyeing as they waited for Mrs. Haitani's response.
"Because I won't stay here for too long, I'll go back to my workplace after. I just decided to take a little visit, but it seems like those two brats don't even acknowledge my presence." Rochelle Haitani firmly told.
"Don't inform them that I'm already home. Let them realize by themselves." She added.
"Yes, madame." The servants and workers answered in unison.
"Oh right, what are my sons doing during the days that I'm not here?"
The servants can feel their heart rapidly beat in panic dahil alam nila kung ano ang nangyari noong isang araw.
"What? No one will answer me?" Rochelle grunted.
"May inuwi po na babae si Sir Ra—" Sabi ng isang servant, but she was cut off as someone spoke.
"Your son is doing well, Madame." Aunt Mari answered.
"I see— wait, what? Mind repeating that again?" Halos mahulog ang puso ng mga katulong dahil sa titig ng kanilang amo sakanila.
The servant that slipped out those forbidden words sweats profusely.
"I said, repeat what did you just say?"
"Madame, Sir Ran is doing well. Mayroon po siyang inuwi na project from school." Aunt Mari told.
"Ah," Rochelle cleared her throat, then breathes deeply, "I see."
"Okay, I'll just leave my things and luggage here. I'll go back to my rest house. May kailangan pa akong asikasuhin sa kompanya." Mrs. Haitani Rochelle said, and then left the mansion.
And as the main door closes, everyone inside the mansion sighs in relief, "Hay naku! Makakahinga na rin! Jusko! Kinabahan ako ro'n! Nakakatakot si madam!"
"A-ah, Aunt Mari. Sorry po, nagpanic po ako kaya't nadulas ang dila ko. Hindi ko rin po kasi alam na sobrang strikto ni Madame Haitani pag dating sa mga babaeng nakakarelasyon ng dalawang anak niya..."
"Hoy, kuya! Nakita mo ba yung brief ko?"
Suddenly, barumbadong pumasok si Rindou sa kwarto ng kuya niya habang nagkakalat sa clothing basket laundry nito.
"The fuck? Labas!" Ran was just laying down on his bed, pero naggulo si Rindou kaya't binatuhan ito ng unan sa ulo, "Headshot."
Odiba, nag switch ng roles. Kung kanina si Ran ang nanggugulo, si Rindou naman ngayon.
"Putangina nawawala nga brief ko. Spiderman pa naman 'yon, de joke." Sabi ni Rindou habang kinakalkal yung laundry basket ng kuya niya.
"Ba't mo ba hinahanap sa kwarto ko? Tangina, ba't ko naman kukunin brief mo? Kinakalat mo lang laundry basket ko, labas!" Sigaw ni Ran habang si Rindou ay nangkakalkal parin sa gilid ng kwarto ng kuya niya, hinahanap parin daw yung brief eh.
"Bahala ka nga, may pasok pa tayo mamaya. Iglip muna ako." Sabi ni Ran nang inoff ang phone at natulog sa kama.
"So ayun nga. Hindi ako makapunta sa closet ko kasi may ipis. Hindi ko tuloy makuha brief ko." Kwento ni Rindou, "Tapos nawawala yung isang nilabas ko kagabi, kingina may magnanakaw yata."
"Kuya—" Pero nang pagkalingon ni Rindou, natutulog na si Ran, "Tinulugan ako, luh."
"Tapos 'yon na nga—" Napahinto si Rindou sa pagkakalkal ng gamit nang may nakitang brief ni Ran, "YUCK! Kadiri!" At tinapon ito sa mukha ni Ran.
"Uy! Pwe!" Agad naman tumayo si Ran sa kama na mapayapang nag iiglip at napagising tuloy, he quickly wiped his face and lips disgustingly.
"Pfft! HAHAHA! Sarili mong brief nandidiri ka." Tawa ni Rindou.
"Ina mo sinong hindi mandidiri, kahit kaninong underwear ilalagay mo sa mukha ha." Pumunta si Ran sa kapatid niya at binatukan ito.
"Aray!" Gumanti naman si Rindou nang sinipa ang kuya niya sa tyan.
"O ano ano, mahina! Weak shit! HAHAHAHA!" Sabi ni Ran nang tumalon talon pa at naka boxing pose habang iniilag ang mga suntok ni Rindou.
Rindou hurled a fist at Ran, pero nag dodge si Ran at dumila pa ito para asarin ang kapatid niya.
"WAAAAHHH~!" Iyak ni Rindou.
"Iyakin amputa! HAHAHAHA!" Lakas na tawa ni Ran, and to say, this is like those old times noong bata pa sila. In where si Ran, the older brother is the one always teasing his younger brother, at syempre, may iyakin na bunso.
"WAAAAH!"
"Luh! Joke nga lang, umiiyak talaga gago HAHAHA!" Sabi ni Ran nang inakbayan ang kapatid niya.
"Abunjing bunjing wag ka na umiyak. Ina mo susumbong pa ako kay mama neto eh." Pang aasar pa ni Ran at mas lalong pinaiyak si Rindou.
"Huy taena neto umiiyak—" Pero tumigal ng pag iyak si Rindou at doon kumuha ng chance para gantihan si Ran. Fake cry lang pala, actor yan.
"Aray!" Napahawak naman si Ran sa mukha niya.
"Ge hanapin ko na brief ko bye." Agad naman nag change ng mood si Rindou at pinakyuhan nalang si Ran.
Twenty minutes later...
"Sige putangina habang buhay na talaga mawawala brief ko."
Reklamo ni Rindou nang bumaba sa hagdan galing kwarto at dumiretso sa dining hall kung saan kumakain na ang kuya niya at may mga nakahanda na rin na pagkain. Nakabihis na rin ang dalawa sa kanilang mga school uniforms at naghihintay na rin ang driver nila sa car outside.
Si Ran ay busy na nags-scroll sa social medias niya, ngunit pumunta siya sa messenger para may i-chat.
He was about to click your profile in Messenger until something came to his mind.
The letter, the truck full of strawberry frappe and other deliveries, and the bouquet of flowers last Friday.
Oo nga pala, it's currently Monday.
Sa panic, gulat, at realization ni Ran, nabulunan pa siya sa kinakain niya.
"A-AY! Si Sir Haitani!" Sigaw ng mga katulong ng bilisan na kumuha ng glass of water, at nagtatakbuhan na sila sa kusina.
"Inom ser!" Bigay ng isang katulong, onti nalang isasaksak yung tubig sa bibig ni Ran.
Agad na ininom ni Ran ang tubig, pero napahinto ito sa sinabi ng isang katulong.
"Jusko! Si Madame Haitani! Naku pag nalaman—" Iyak ni Thea, pero her eyes widened as she realized kung anong sinabi niya.
"Mom?" Ran and Rindou raised their brows, "She's here?"
"Bobo Thea..." Bulong ni Yaya Leah as he nudged her side.
"Wala po, nabanggit lang po namin." Pilit na ngiti nina Leah at Thea.
"Oh." Ran cleared his throat.
"Tara na jusko baka kung ano pa masabi natin." Bulong ng dalawang katulong at lumabas sa dining hall.
"Shit, now how will I face her." Ran thought.
"Sinong 'her'? Si mom o si (Y/N)?" Asar ni Rindou habang kumakain.
"The latter." Ran whistled.
"Huh? Anong latter? Ladder? Hagdan?"
"Bahala ka nga riyan." Sabi ni Ran at uminom ng tubig.
"Alam mo, fuck it. Paninindigan ko 'to." Ran grunted as he opened messenger, at dumiretso so profile mo!
(L/N) (Y/N)
:Annapple
*typing*
Nerdtie:
I'm not going to attend school today. I'm still sick
And I receive the letters and stuff last Friday.
Ty
Typing palang si Ran, nag chat na si (Y/N), at napahinto ito sa pagt-type.
Nerdtie:
O ano?
:Annapple
*typing*
oh ok, hindi ka makakapasok ngayon
and good morning
Ran was about to ask you tungkol sa letter, he's wondering... what is your answer? Will you accept the date, or reject it?
After all, you didn't message him for two days after that, and Ran was starting to overthink.
He was too nervous to even ask about it, but this man started it and he was the one who needed to finish it. Sinumulan niya, paninidigan niya.
:Annapple
btw, (y/n)
I'll ask something
Nerdtie:
Oh wait bye aalis na pala ako
Ran's eyes widened and his heart sank from your reply, so he had to stop typing for a moment.
"Is she purposely avoiding it?"
Isip niya, dapat siguro huwag nalang niyang itanong, ngunit kahit gano'n, he doesn't regret sending you those stuff last Friday.
:Annapple
sige, punta nako ng school
stay safe sa pupuntahan mo
*seen*
Nang hindi niya alam, nakasilip pala si Rindou sa likod niya, at secretly tumitingin sa screen niya. Chismoso talaga, "OWWW SHOT PUNO! AGUYYY!"
Nagulat nalang si Ran at napatalon sa biglang kanta at sigaw ng kapatid niya.
"Yoooo, dude! My man is rejected!" Sigaw ni Sanzu sa phone ni Rindou, huh?! Magkacall sila?!
"That's okay my dude." Koko commented, and galing ulit ito sa phone ni Rindou.
"Ah, damn." Kakucho whispered, and from Rindou's phone ulit.
Magkacall ang F5 at kanina pa nakikita ang convo niyo!
"Mga chismoso talaga o." Napaface palm si Ran. Hindi alam kung saan maiiyak eh.
"BREAKING NEWS! BREAKING NEWS! For the first time, the one and only F5 Ran Haitani is rejected!" Sigaw ni Sanzu.
Tumawa nalang si Ran, and he can't help but notice the ache in his chest, "Aight, sige. Kunin ko na gamit ko sa kwarto, kita nalang sa school." He told sa video call ng F5 sa phone ni Rindou, at agad naman na umalis ng dining hall si Ran.
"O! Putangina niyo! Upo! Ingay eh!"
Sigaw ni Izana habang naglilista ng noisy sa harapan ng classroom. Ewan ko kung bakit kahit seniors na sila may ganito parin, akala mo mga elementary. Anyway, it's currently 6:47 in the morning, and everyone is just waiting for the class to start. May mga hindi pa nakakapasok at yung mga estudyante naman sa loob ng silid aralan ay may sari sariling mundo at ginagawa lang habang naghihintay sa teacher."
"Tangina niyo o, buti pa si mark—" Imik ni Makoto.
"'Ge ituloy mo 'yan. Hampas aabutin mo sa 'kin gago." Sabi ni Izana.
"Tatahimik na nga, o shut down daw shut down!"
"Shut up yata 'yon, Makoto..." Bulong ng isa.
"Ah gano'n..."
"Bilog ba yung mundo?" Tanong ng isa, at nag ingay ulit ang Section B.
"PUTANGINAAAAAAAAA!" Alam naman na natin siguro kung sino ang sumigaw nito.
"T-tahimik na nga... haha..." Agad naman umupo ang Section B sakanilang mga upuan.
"Yan! Good," Bumalik na rin si Izana sa upuan nito at sumandal lang. "Kastress ang mga puta."
"Pres—" Tawag ni Makoto.
"ANO?!"
"Joke lang, 'wag na pala hehe."
Knock! Knock!
May kumakatok sa pintuan ng classroom ng Section B kaya't napalingon ang lahat. Nang bumukas ito, bumungad ang mga iba pa na seniors na mas matanda sakanila at mataas ang level.
"Hoy! May papasa lang kami, mga bata." Sabi ni Takeomi, at mukhang kasama nito si Taiju at South na nagbubuhat din ng gamit.
"Tangina mo tanda!" Sigaw nina Makoto at Yamagishi sa likod ng classroom.
"Ansabe mo?!" Angal ni Takeomi.
Sina Taiju, South, at Takeomi yung tipong mga lalaki na laging inuutusan ng mga teachers para magbuhat ng mga gamit, at kasama na rin dito ang F5. Akala mo alagad ng mga teachers eh, may bitbit pa minsan na upuan.
Eh si Takeomi, noong isang araw muntik mabali yung likod dahil binuhat ba naman yung lamesa sa balikat niya.
"Oh my gosh! Si Kuya Taiju! Yuck." Hakkai gagged as he rolled his eyes.
"'Nu yan? Ba't ang pula pula ng labi mo?" Pumunta naman si Taiju sa kapatid nito, "Ano yan, lepsteyk?"
"Pake mo, bitch? Ikaw nga mukhang garapata eh. Epal ni kuya, amputa. Plus, it's lipstick, l-i-p-s-t-i-c-k! Not lepsteyk! And I'm wearing a Christian Siriano Lip Gloss. A liquid lipstick with a shade of Mary Jo K traced by lip pencil, both by Kylie Cosmetics."
"Ano raw?" Nagbulungan naman ang mga lalaki.
"Lipstick lang naintindihan ko." Rindou shrugged.
"Daming sinabi." Imik ni Taiju.
"Rinig mo 'yon? Alis, shoo!" Dagdag pa ni Yuzuha nang tinaboy ang kuya niya.
"Ge." Simpleng imik ni Taiju at nag back out.
"Pst, Hakkai! Pogi ng kuya mo sis." Bulong ni Riri, isa nilang kaklase.
"Yuck, gusto mo 'yon?"
"Oum hihi..."
"Sige, sa 'yo na 'yon para mabawasan pabigat sa bahay," Sabi ni Hakkai habang naglalagay ng lipstick sa labi. "Sabagay, bagay naman kayo. Mukhang mga galis ng aso."
"Excuse me, bitch?!"
"O ano, biyotch?" Nagtaas naman ng kilay si hakkai
"HAHAHAHA! Hina mo, gago!" Sigaw ni Makoto habang binatuhan ng blackboard eraser si Yamagishi sa mukha.
"Ang sarap pala ng chalk." Dinilaan naman ito ni Yamagishi sa labi.
"Ano yan? Patikim." Nakisingit naman si Sanzu sakanila.
"Ah, ito, Sanzu! Mikmik yan, baka gusto mo." Pag uuto nina Makoto at Yamagishi nang binigay ang foil na laman ay white powder chalk.
"Ano flavor?"
"Huh?" Napalingon naman si Rindou, "'Nu yan?"
"Mikmik— eurghk!" Kinain naman ito ni Sanzu pero agad dinura nang nalaman na chalk pala 'to.
"Buti nalang talaga hindi ako bobo at uto uto, tsk tsk." Napangisi si Rindou.
"Inamo gago!" Pero hinampas naman ni Sanzu si Rindou sa mukha gamit ang panyo na may chalk. Naging harina tuloy si Rindou.
"Yo." Kakucho called behind them.
"Ba't?" Umakbay na parang lasing si Sanzu kay Kakucho.
"Pahiram ako ng power bank, forgot mine at home." Kakucho told.
"Aight." Hiniram naman ito ni Sanzu at hinagis carelessly, bibili nalang daw ng bago kapag nasira.
"By the way, uhh. Wind up later sa mall, y'all want?" Aya ni Rindou.
"Mall? Pft! Hindi nga natin natuloy 'yung Z Hostel noong first day ng school."
"Ah, fuck. Oo nga pala," Rindou groaned. "Edi mamaya? Ano, g?"
"Saan? Sa Z Hostel? So, final na 'yon ah? Baka hindi nanaman matuloy. Pag na cancel nanaman ayaw ko na—" Imik ni Sanzu.
"Daming shawty do'n. Pst, Sanzu." Bulong ni Rindou nang siniko si Sanzu.
"Ah sige, tara g," Sagot ni Sanzu. "Ay teka, huwag bro... bagong buhay 'to."
"Yo, Koko," Rindou called, "Carps, Z Hostel?"
"Nah, pass." Sagot ni Koko.
"At bakit?"
"Still have some shit to finish in my math club." Koko told.
"Woah? Seriously, dude?"
"Yeah." Koko briefly told.
"Ah, oo. Diretso na ako sa math club after class, sasabay nalang ako kay ate mamaya pauwi." Sa gilid ng classroom, narinig ng F5 ang usapan nila Inui.
Napataas naman ng kilay sina Rindou at Sanzu as their heads slowly turned to Koko.
"Anyway, how about Ran? Panigurado G yan my broskiii." Sabi ni Rindou.
"I don't think so." Kakucho replied from the corner who's just quietly reading a book, at napatingin naman sina Rindou, Koko, at Sanzu kay Ran.
Ran is just quietly sitting on his chair while scrolling through his phone.
"Lumilipad nanaman ang isip ko~" Kanta ni Sanzu at ng F5 papunta kay Ran.
"Problema, bro? Yung dahil sa kanina ba?" Tanong nila nang umupo sa tabi ni Ran at inusog ang upuan.
Ran's head turned to them, but his gaze is still on his screen. It's either ayaw ni Ran na makipagusap o distracted lang talaga sa phone, "What?" Ran asked.
"G ka raw ba, Z Hostel? Inom lang naman. Light beer lang, promise." Rindou informed.
"Pass." Ran coldly replied.
"WOAH?!" Napaawang bibig ng mga barkada niya.
"Good morning, class!" And there, dumating na ang first subject teacher nila, kaya't nagsibalikan na rin ang mga estudyante sa mga upuan nila.
Nagpatuloy lang ang first subject, and Ran is just quietly listening. He yawned, making him look to his side, but he felt gloomy.
(Y/N)'s chair is empty.
Ran looked at the time, and it was past 7 na.
Yeah, hindi ka na talaga papasok.
Timeskip, lumipas ang ilang subjects. They're now in their homeroom class, and before mag recess, may announcement muna si Ms. Vina.
"Class! Before I dismiss you from homeroom and para makapag break na rin tayo, I'll announce something first." Ms. Vina told.
Everyone in the class turned their attention to Ms. Vina, except for some.
"Ge, sa bot lane tol..." Bulong ng mga lalaki sa likod habang naglalaro sa phone.
"Sanzu 'yung pera namin kapag natalo ka namin ah." Bulong ni Makoto.
"Ang buraot niyo naman. Tangina, eguls ako rito brad eh." Angal ni Sanzu.
"Boys at the back!" Sigaw ni Ms. Vina.
Napatingin naman sina Sanzu, Makoto, at Yamagishi sa harapan at agad na tinago ang cellphone, "Sorry po."
Alam niyo yung teacher na tipong kapag good mood, akala mo hulog ng anghel, pero kapag bad mood, naku, baka masunog classroom kasi apoy na yung binubuga ng teacher sa bibig.
"So, anyway. For my announcement, alam naman natin na next month na ang exams, right?" She spoke, and everyone nodded.
"But before that, of course, every year, every school holds some yearly events! Such as tournaments, quiz bees, etc."
"Now what if I tell you that before our exams... there will be an Intramural!"
Ms. Vina gleefully announced, and everyone's mouth agape from it, either from excitement or nervousness.
Well, intramurals are fun, at least for them dahil may mga palaruan dito which probably caters to these students. Yung iba, ang habol nga lang nila ay makakaskip sila ng klase dahil intrams, tapos makakagala sila around the school habang suot suot ang color code uniform nila per team or section. May mga naglalaro sa mga fairs. Kumakain sa food stands. Nakikipaglaban sa tournament sports. Nagpapapicture sa photobooth. Yung iba para paraan, inaaya sa marriage booth ang crush nila. Pero may mga loko rin, pinapa jail booth ang mga tropa nila. Kilala niyo naman siguro ang mga estudyante from Section B na posibleng gagawa nito, and these brings so much nostalgia.
"Intramural is near, and I hope that those students— especially those in a club, sports team, etc. will participate!"
"Chance ko na 'to para aya-in si crush sa marriage booth hehe..." Sabi ng isang estudyante sa Section B.
At nagtuloy tuloy lang ang usapan ng mga magkaklase.
"Tangina mo Makoto ipapajail booth kitang putragis ka!"
"Yung food stands lang habol ko ro'n, noh!"
"Ahh, Yuzuha! Diba nasa archery ka! Panoorin ka namin ha!"
"Sanaol may club, sorry walang ambag."
"Girl, sasali ako sa ro'n sa hair dress-up booth chuchu."
"Huy may mga kpop photocards and merch daw silang ibebenta sa intrams! Ipon na!"
"Huy, libot tayo sa buong school ha. Huwag na pumasok sa klase, tapos yung reason natin sa teacher 'ay ma'am sorry po nasa jail booth po kami'."
"Excited na ako sa intrams! Makikita ko si crush sa kabilang section!"
"Beh, handa mo na lalamunan mo... may liga raw basketball teams sa intrams. Yung mga pogi lang ich-cheer natin ah? Ganito yung cheer... 'GOOO POGIII! SHOOT MO SA 'KIN 'YUNG BOLA MO!'"
"Gago ka Hakkai!"
"Class, quiet! I'm not done explaining!" Ms. Vina banged her fist on the blackboard.
"So, anyway." Nag change ng mood agad 'to at ngumiti.
"Oh right, coach informed me that our school's basketball teams will have a tournament with some other school's basketball teams! So, good luck Ran and Kakucho, kayo lang ang basketball players here in Section B, at kayo pa ang captains! Section B, make sure to cheer for Ran and Kaku, ha? They will also represent our section, not only their team."
"AHHH! Ran kahit batuhan mo ako ng bola ich-cheer parin kitaaa! Mwa!" Kumindat kindat pa si Hakkai at hinawi ang buhok (kalbo siya) at nagpacute kay Ran.
"Ikaw din Kakucho, cute mo beh. Asus eheh." Dagdag pa nito na may kasamang hampas kay Kakucho.
"Oh... haha..." Kakucho awkwardly laughed, tapos 'yung mukha niya screams putangina tulong
"Okay, class. You can proceed with your recess, and I'll just go out. Walk to the canteen quietly and I better hear no one talking loudly, kahit recess!" Ms. Vina warned, at lumabas na ng classroom.
"Psst! Yamagussy, Sanzussy!" Tawag ni Makoto na pabulong, at pinipigal ang tawa, "Psst! Rindoussy! Ikaw rin! Huy...!"
"Ano?" Lumingon naman si Rindou.
"May magic trick ako." Sabi ni Makoto.
"'Nu 'yon?"
"Sabihin mo 'ma van thought cah, ma'am'."
"Ha?"
"Basta sabihin mo."
"Ma van thought cah ma'am... o tapos?" Rindou furrowed his brows in confusion.
"Ulit ulitin mo, ten times."
"Ma van thought cah ma'am. Ma van thought cah ma'am." Rindou repeatedly said, and after ten attempts, talagang hindi niya naintindihan.
Yung malungkot na Ran, natatawa na rin tuloy dahil sa kapatid niya.
"Ma van thought cah ma'am... puta talaga hindi ko gets!" Reklamo ni Rindou.
"Ma van thought cah ma'am..." Si Sanzu rin ay hindi nagegets, "Ano ba kasi 'yon?!"
Sina Kakucho at Koko ay pinipigilan ang tawa habang nakatingin sa isang direksyon, dahil...
Nakasilip lang si Ms. Vina sa bintana ng classroom, lurking!
"Huli kayo! Ay aber aber akala niyo hindi ko kayo nakikita! Mga pasaway! Ay ay! Sanzu at Rindou!"
"Ma van thought cah ma'am!" Sigaw ni Sanzu, "AY—!"
"Tanga... HAHAHA... Huli pa nga." Pigil na tawa at bulong nina Makoto at Yamagishi.
"Anong mabantot? Sinasabihan mo ako ng mabantot, Mr. Sanzu Haruchiyo?! Do you want to go to the guidance?!" Nanlaki ang mga mata ni Ms. Vina.
"Huh...?" Napaisip naman si Sanzu, "Ma van thought cah ma'am... mabantot ka ma'am..." At nagpanic nang narealize ito, "Huy! H-hindi po 'yon yung sinabi ko!"
"Tangina niyo Makoto gago." Namakyu naman si Sanzu kina Makoto.
"Buti nalang talaga hindi ako nadamay." Napangisi si Rindou nang sumandal sa upuan, "Uto uto kasi kayo."
"Ulol, nawawala lang brief mo eh."
"Yo! Welcome back, tol."
Bati ni Rindou kay Sanzu na kakagaling lang sa guidance habang naglalakad sa hallway ang F5 papuntang canteen since it's break time na.
"Tangina niyo, naguidance pa tuloy ako." Reklamo ni Sanzu.
"AHHHHH!" Then, nagsigawan naman ang mga babae nang pumasok ang F5 sa canteen.
Sanzu just flashed them a smirk and small wave, while Rindou winked at them. Si Kakucho at Koko ay tumango lang, then proceeded to their table.
But then, napahinto ang F5 nang may nararamdaman silang kakaiba, "Ran?"
Si Ran naman ay akala mo walang tao dahil hindi man lang pinansin ang mga tao sa loob. He just walked straight to their table with a stoic face.
"Himala, parang dati hindi mo kinikindatan mga fangirls ah!" Tawa ni Sanzu.
"Sadboi parin yata." Bulong ni Rindou.
"Yo, I'mma order for a while. Sagot ko na?" Koko told as he stood up from their canteen table and took his wallet out.
"Yown o! That's my pare," Akbay ni Sanzu kay Koko. "Oy, tara guys. Sagot daw ni Koko."
The boys stood up as they headed to the cafeteria's counter.
"By the way, Kaku. May training ba tayo mamaya?" Tanong ni Ran.
"Yeah." Kakucho nodded.
"Pasabi kay coach absent muna ako." Ran told.
"Why?"
"Nilalagnat yata ako." Ran winced.
"Sus! Hindi nga!" Rindou used the back of his hand to check Ran's temperature on his forehead, "Hindi ka naman mainit eh."
"Ina neto," Ran swats his hand away "Yata nga diba."
"Weh, baka kailangan lang ng shawty para gumaling," Rindou grinned as he faced his friends. "Diba mga bro?"
"Pass... Passado." Sagot ni Sanzu.
"Tch, bahala nga kayo riyan." Napairap nalang si Ran.
"Hiii mga powgiii! Ano order niyo?" Sabi ng isang tindera sa canteen.
"Wow, himala. Hindi masungit tindera ngayon ah." Bulong ni Sanzu.
"Mali ka yata..." Bulong ni Rindou, at napatingin ang F5 nang lumabas sa kitchen ang isang tindera na namumukhaan nila. Makapal at pataas pa ang kilay nito dahil sa makeup. May red din na blush at perfect circle pa sa cheeks. Lagpas pa ang lipstick at halatang bad mood.
"A-ay! Hello, ate! Sorry po mga kuya. Si ate na po ang bahala sainyo ah! Sakaniya nalang kayo mag order." Sabi ng isang tinderang mabait, at pumalit na nga yung may makapal na kilay.
"O, ano order niyo?" Tanong nito habang nakahawak sa gilid ng bewang at nagiihaw. Sama ng loob 99%, ihaw 1%.
"Sanzu, ikaw mag order." Tulak ng F5 sakaniya.
"L-luh! Tangina niyo naguidance na nga ako, pag ako naguidance ulit—"
"Ano na, iho?! Ano order? Marami pang nakapila, naku!" Ayan na, magt-transform na bilang dragon.
"A-ah, sisig po. T-tapos—" Lumingon si Sanzu sa likod niya, at wala na ang mga kasama niya! "Putangina iniwan ako o."
And there, nag order na si Sanzu habang si Koko na ang nagbayad. Sinamahan na nila si Sanzu, naawa eh. Alam niyo yung parang bata na iiyak na kasi siya na yung next sa cashier ng grocery, pero wala yung nanay.
"So ayon, tumawag si yaya. Lumipad pala yung brief ko somewhere, pero hindi alam kung saan... so hanggang ngayon hindi ko parin talaga mahanap!"
Kwento ni Rindou habang kumakain na ang F5 sa canteen, at nakatambay lang sila rito.
"Ba't ba ang special ng brief na yan puta?" Tanong ni Sanzu habang kumakain.
"Boxer brief Calvin Klein 'yon boi."
"O, edi bumili ka ng bago." Sanzu scoffed.
"Tara, samahan mo ako bumili mamaya pagtapos sa Z Hostel."
"Ayoko, natrauma na akong noong bumili tayo ng bra last Friday para sa (Y/N) cosplay ko. Baka makick out ulit tayo sa store." Angal ni Sanzu.
"HAHAHAHA! Oo, 'yung 'galit na athoe uwu'!" Pangaasar ni Rindou, at tumawa ang F5.
"Nandiri ako ro'n, legit." Sagot ni Ran.
"Ay! Oo nga pala! Yung isang libo ko ah, Koko? Diba babayaran mo 'ko?" Sabi ni Sanzu.
"Yeah, whatever. Here." Sinampal naman ni Koko ang isang libo sa mukha niya.
"Ito lang yung sampal na gusto kong maranasan, lamats bro. Worth it talaga yung cosplay ko, baka gusto mong ulitin, Ran. Sakto 2k sunod hehe." Diskarte ni Sanzu.
"Huwag na please." Napailing si Ran.
Habang naguusap ang F5, Ran checked his phone for a moment.
He doesn't know why but he kept on checking your active status.
(Y/N) (L/N) was active 5 hours ago.
Last message from (Y/N) 5 hours ago: oh wait bye aalis na pala ako
Ran sighed and turned his phone off.
What he doesn't know again, ay nakasilip ang F5 sa phone niya na pasimpleng kumakain kunwari.
"Huli ko na kayo, stop pretending." Ran told.
"Ay, wow! Ano 'to, pader?! Kapal ng hangin ah. Semento pala 'to?" Sabi nila.
"Tara na nga. Tapos na kayo kumain?" Ran asked as he stood up.
"Ahh! Pupunta na yung F5 sa klase! Aww, sana talaga Section B nalang ako!" One of their fangirls and fanboys whined, at nagwave ito sakanila.
Last na talaga... he promised to himself na last na itong check ni Ran sa status mo. He carefully opened his messenger, and his eyes widened from it.
(Y/N) (L/N) is active... *typing*
Nerdtie:
Can u wait for me there?
"Huh?" Ran's brows furrowed.
:Annapple
wdym?
"AHHHH! Is that her? Akala ko hindi siya papasok?" Sigaw nina Akane sa entrance ng campus, at rinig na rinig ito sa loob ng canteen, grabbing everyone's attention, especially Ran Haitani.
Napalingon ang F5 dito, and Ran's eyes widened as he saw a familiar girl running towards him.
Ran's heart starts to beat quickly as if the time stopped. It's like you're slowly running to him while you're holding a familiar paper, and the wind was blowing your hair strands.
Nang nakaabot ka na sa canteen, you didn't know that someone was also behind you, making you bump into that person.
Suddenly, the lights inside the canteen turned off, and everyone panicked at may mga nagsigawan na mga estudyante.
Dahil wala ka rin makita, hindi mo na alam kung saan ka tumatakbo.
"Shit! Brown out!" Sigaw ng mga estudyante.
"Huh? Hoy! Wala ako makita! Buksan niyo blinds sa canteen!" Sigaw ng isang estudyante.
"Flashlight flashlight!" Sigaw ni Rindou, pero natututok ito sa mukha ni Sanzu, Jumpscare! "AHHH!"
"WooOoOOh~ May multo!" Pananakot ni Makoto sa mga babae.
"Tangina brown out pa o, yung sabaw ko nasa'n!"
"Ang dilim!"
"Malamang brown out, bobo nito kahit kailan."
"Kaninong mukha 'tong nahahawakan ko? Wow, gaspang ah!" Sabi ni Yamagishi habang may kinakapa,pero mukha pala ng teacher yung hinahawakan niya.
Meanwhile, Ran started to panic as he quickly took his phone out and turned his flashlight on... finding someone, "(Y/N)?!"
Fortunately, he saw you nearby and ran to you immediately. You also ran towards him since you had no idea where else to go and the darkness was making you anxious.
But then, as you're running, you suddenly bumped into one of the students inside the canteen since nagkakaguluhan na, and you lost your balance. Your heart leaps out of your chest as you can't completely stabilize yourself.
You closed your eyes at dahil hindi mo na rin alam kung anong gagawin, but then you felt someone grab your wrist. After that, hindi mo na alam ang nangyari... basta nahulog ka nalang.
Suddenly, the lights turned on.
Everyone's eyes widened. Gasps and whispers were audible as they saw the scene in front of them.
You slowly opened your eyes, and your heart dropped from the sight. You fell on top of Ran on the floor, and your faces were so close together, making you unable to move as your lips trembled since it was so close to his.
One thing (Y/N) didn't notice, is that your head was close to colliding with the corner of the table, but luckily, Ran's hand was behind your head, protecting it.
"Oh my! AHH!" The students gasped and screamed. Everything was recorded on their phones.
You quickly went off on top of him at tumayo, brushing the dust off your clothes. Ran had to process for a moment, laying on the floor, but he also did the same.
Marami ang nakakita nito, and marami rin iba't ibang reactions.
"Ran!" Suddenly, the students, mostly F5's fangirls start to chase the both of you with their cameras! Akala mo mga paparazzi.
From the panic, you can feel yourself shaking, not knowing what to do, until Ran grabbed your wrist and he pulled you out of the canteen.
Now, (Y/N) and Ran are running in the hallways and corridors again, just like before, but the difference is that you're running together with him.
"W-wait! Ang bilis mong tumakbo, hey!" Sigaw mo as you try to pry your wrist away from his grasp.
He looked back, making you look at him as well. You can see a smile forming on his lips, but he quickly faced in front, obviously hiding it.
Patuloy lang kayong tumatakbo, at nang napansin niyong humipa na ang boses at stampedes ng mga estudyanteng humahabol sainyo, ay huminto na kayo at sumandal sa pader habang hinihingal, resting for a bit.
Umubo ka nang umubo hanggang sa hinihingal ka parin. Napaupo ka muna sa sahig while your messy hair strands sticks on your forehead, at pawis na pawis ka rin.
"Damn, ba't ang ganda mo parin?" Pangaasar pa niya with his teasing smirk, again.
"Shut up." You rolled your eyes.
He just sat beside you in the hallway, also leaning at the wall while the two of you just stares at the thin air, since wala rin naman ang nagsasalita. It's like the silence is eating the both of you.
"So, akala ko ba hindi ka papasok?" Ran asked, initiating a conversation.
"Hindi nga." Simpleng sagot mo.
"Edi ba't ka nandito?"
"Bakit, ayaw mo?" You bantered.
"I didn't say anything. Nagtatanong lang nang maayos." He shrugged.
Silence fell again, and you can hear the wind outside of the hallway's glass pane window.
"I will attend school, but only half-day since I just recovered from my fever." Sagot mo.
"Ah, you're better now? That's good."
"Yeah."
"Oh, right. You almost kissed me a while ago." Ran straightforwardly said with a cocky smirk on his lips, making you frown.
Naalala mo nanaman ang nangyari kanina, and blush starts to spread on your cheeks. "Ew." (Y/N) scoffed.
"It was an accident. There was a sudden brownout which rarely happens. I was rushing too." You explained nonchalantly.
"But I think I need a ki—" He joked as he leaned closer.
"Kiss yourself, asshole." Sabi mo nang tinulak ang mukha niya palayo.
"Awts, rejected again."
"You know what?" You sighed as you stood up from the floor, at sumunod din si Ran.
You slowly took a familiar letter out, and Ran's gaze averted to it, making his eyes widen.
You reached your hand out to give the letter to him, and yes, his anticipation is true... it was the letter he delivered last Friday where he asked you out on a date in Baguio.
Ran slowly opened the letter, at ang nakasulat sa baba ng liham ay ang nakapukaw sa kanyang atensyon.
Yes, I'm accepting the date.
Ran slowly raised his head. You were purposely avoiding you're his gaze, and he can feel his heart jumping with joy.
"It's only a date, so don't think of anything else further to that." Imik mo.
"Of course. I promise I know my limits." Nagpromise pa siya as he raised his hand.
"Sige, bye. I'll go home na." You told, then walked off.
"Wait— akala ko ba papasok pero half day lang?" Ran chuckled as he crossed his arms.
"Huh—?" You stopped in your tracks as you turned back.
"Or pumasok ka lang para ibigay sa 'kin 'yung letter?" He grinned.
Oops.
"U-uh, no? Hindi." You stumbled on your own words, trying to find some reasons to tell him, but it seems like this man is really persistent.
"Keep denying, it's fun watching." Napatawa siya.
"Whatever." Inirapan mo siya ulit at naglakad paalis.
"Where are you going? You're going in the wrong direction." Ran snorted.
"Oh," You blinked in confusion, oo nga pala. "Damn it. Bigla nalang ako nalulutang ngayon..."
"Maligaw ka pa, sunduin na nga kita sa klase." Ran told.
"Fine." You grumbled.
Ang Section B ay bumalik na sa kanilang classroom after their recess, pero may extra time pa naman before the next subject kaya't nakatambay lang sila sa classroom, mga may sari-sariling ginagawa.
Ran and (Y/N) were near to their classroom, kaya't nauna na si (Y/N) na buksan ang pintuan, but Ran called her.
"(Y/N)."
"What?" You turned to face him. There was something in his expression that you couldn't tell, he looks nervous and hesitant, but at the same time, his face is red.
"Ah, nothing."
"Alis muna ako, bye mga betlo—!" Nagulat nalang kayo ni Ran nang saktong bumukas ang pintuan ng Section B, just in front of you, at bumungad dito sina Makoto at iba pang kaklase niyo.
Napalingon ang buong Section B, and there, it shows the two people who were in the spotlight of the show a while ago in the canteen.
"UYYY! Ran and (Y/N)!" Tili ng mga kaklase niyo.
"SHIT! Nagkiss ba kayo?! Anong nangyari sa canteen kanina? Kumakalat na 'yung videos niyo! Jusko, trending nanaman kayo!"
At this point, halos masanay ka na masama sa mga trending posts, but one thing na hindi mo ginagawa ay magbasa ng comments, alam mong tatapakan lang nila ang pangalan mo at may mga salita silang binibitaw na nakakasira sa'yo.
Comments:

And there, nagproceed lang ang klase niyo.
"Teh," Tawag ni Hakkai kay Yuzuha. "Pakulay tayo ng buhok sa Saturday ah. Blonde naman ako sunod, kaumay 'yung blue, yuck!"
"(Y/N), beh. Musta mwa mwa chup chup niyo ni Ran?" Tanong ni Hakkai habang hinahawi (kinakamot) ang buhok.
Tumingin ka sa likod mo dahil halos magkatabi lang ang upuan niyo nina Hakkai, Yuzuha, Akane, at Yumi.
"Hakkai," Yuzuha scolded her brother. "Hayaan mo na 'yan, (Y/N)... kung ano ano sinasabi."
"It's fine."
"Grabe... seventy thousand na ang views niyo ni Ran kanina sa canteen incident in just an hour!" Comment ni Akane habang nags-scroll sa Facebook.
"Let's read the comments—" The girls said, pero pinigilan mo sila.
"No, don't."
"Ah, pfft! Oo nga pala, maraming bitter. Yuck!" Akane rolled her eyes.
"Ano ba mga Facebook ng mga 'yan?" Pagsusungit ni Hakkai. "Sampalin ko sila ng suso ko eh."
"Wala kang gano'n." Comment ni Akane habang nagsusuklay.
"Ah gano'n? Eh kung kalbuhin kaya kitang malandi ka!" Sabi ni Hakkai... at nagsabunutan nanaman ang dalawa.
Lumayo nalang sina (Y/N), Yuzuha, at Yumi sa dalawa at hinayaan na magsabunutan. It's like a daily usual thing.
"Girls at the back! Ginagawa niyo bang salon ang school?!" That one subject teacher scolded nang pagkapasok.
"Dismissal time!" Tangina wow speed ewan.
As soon as the school bell rings, the teacher left the classroom, and everyone starts packing their things.
Nag ingay nanaman ang Section B at nabahala sakanilang mga sariling ginagawa. Tunay na nagkagulo nanaman ang silid aralan.
"Arat, computer shop!" Sigaw ni Makoto na basugelarong tumalon sa mga upuan at tumakbo papalayas sa pintuan habang kinakagat ang bench na panyo.
"Woah, crossover! Three points! Sheesh!" Sigaw nina Ran at tropa niya nang ginagawang basketball ring ang basurahan.
"Parang tanga." Comment ni (Y/N), at kasama ka sa mga cleaners for this week.
"HOYYY! Makoto! Cleaners ka! Tangina mo tumatakas!" Sigaw ni Akane sa labas ng classroom.
You're just sweeping the floor, pero may mga rolled crumpled papers na natatapon, at napatingin ka kina Ran, "Ano ba! Can't you see that I'm cleaning here? Kayo maglinis niyan."
"Ay, sorry," Napatawa naman si Ran at pinagsabihan ang mga tropa niyang kasama maglaro. "Tapon niyo 'yan."
"Buhatin mo yung basura ro'n. Throw it in the main garbage outside." Utos mo kay Ran, at halatang badtrip ka.
"Okay, miss sungit." Biro ni Ran at agad na binuhat ang mga basura kasama ang mga tropa niya na inutusan niya raw.
"WEEEEE!" Sigaw ni Yamagishi nang ginawang ice rink ang sahig ng classroom. Ice skating pero low budget daw.
"Hoy! Nawawala yung eraser ng blackboard, ampota!" Sigaw ni Makoto. "Ina kasi, magc-computer shop na 'ko eh. Nahuli pa nga. Akane kasi!"
"An'sabi mo? Gusto mong supalpalin ko 'yang pagmumukha mo?!" Akane threatened.
"Pwet mo nalang gamitin mo pang kuskos sa board." Sabi ni Yamagishi kay Makoto.
"Manahimik ka nga, mukha mo ikuskos ko sa sahig eh." Namakyu naman si Makoto.
"Tangina mo bonak!" Sigaw ni Izana, "Mag bonakid preschool ka muna, gago!"
"Galit nanaman si pres, uy." Bulong ni Akkun.
"Sino ba kaaway niyan?" Tanong ng isa.
"Aba ewan ko, tanungin mo yung BTS diyan, baka alam. Puta, kanina pa nagdidisco parang mga tanga."
"Baka Baranggay Tanod Squad 'yan! Kailan comeback niyo?"
"Ang pogi ko talaga shiyet." Imik ni Shinichiro sa gilid habang naglalagay ng gel sa buhok.
"WOOOH! Ang hangin Shinichiro ah!" Comment ni Benkei.
"Kingina mo manahimik ka nga."
"Beh, baba tayo sa canteen!" Tawag ni Akane kay Hakkai.
"Naur, 'yoko nga. Mainit do'n noh, pagpawisan pa 'ko." Sagot nito.
"Ay," Akane cleared her throat. "Sayang, marami pa naman pogi."
"Tara, sige." Agad naman na tumayo si Hakkai at lumabas ng classroom kasama si Akane.
Pumasok naman si Ran sa classroom pagkatapos itapon ang basura, pero tumalon at hinampas muna ang taas ng door frame ng classroom.
"Yo, labas tayo." Tawag nito sa F5.
"Right now?" Koko turned his head to them.
"Yeah yeah, mahangin sa labas. Init dito sa classroom eh. Sino ba kasi nag off ng aircon? Suntukan o!" Sigaw ni Ran.
"Ako, bakit?" You raised your voice.
"Ay, joke lang." Napahinto si Ran.
"Akala ko ba susuntukin mo, ha?" Asar nina Rindou at Sanzu.
"Sorry, kiss pala 'yon," Napaubo naman si Ran. "Ang sabi ko 'sino ba kasi nag off ng aircon, kikiss ko'."
"Ay, ako!" Sigaw ng isang kaklase niyo.
Minutes passed at tapos na rin maglinis ang mga cleaners, pero may inayos ka muna sa bag mo kaya't naiwan ka nang saglit sa loon. Sakto dahil it's past dismissal time na, kaya't kaunti nalang ang mga estudyante since nagsiuwian na, meaning less students sa library.
"Oo, bye na!" Pagpaalam ng Section B, at nagsilabasan na rin sila.
Nakatambay ang F5 sa may hallway at nagk-kwentuhan lang sila. Nakasandal sina Rindou at Sanzu sa pillar, with Rindou's arms crossed. Kakucho leaning against the wall with his hands inside his pockets. Koko sitting on the floor with his elbows on top his knee, at naka manspread ito with his head tilted. Si Ran naman ang nasa gitna nila, his back and elbows leaning against the railings with his head pushed back while vaping.
Kadalasan na kinakabahan dumaan sa hallway ang mga estudyante dahil sa F5. Alam niyo yung mga tambay sa kanto kaya't hindi ka makadaan? Well, when it comes to F5, they are intimidating to their eyes. You'll really feel their lingering stares at you.
"Legit, solid 'tong nabili ko," Kwento ni Ran habang nakatambay. "Mag bago akong baby."
"Huh, 'baby'?!" Napalingon naman ang F5 sa sinabi nito, "Sino?!"
"Ganda nga niya eh." Bulong ni Ran.
"Pa'no si (Y/N), gago ka ba?!" Napaawang naman ang bibig nina Rindou.
"Huh?! Anong pa'no si (Y/N)?! Tanga! Sapatos kasi tinutukoy ko, bagong bili!" Nagulat naman si Ran.
"Ahh, sapatos pala," Napabugtong hininga naman sila. "Ba't kasi baby tawag amputa."
"Mahal ko mga sapatos ko eh, pake niyo ba?" Ran scoffed. "Adidas Yeezy collection my bro."
"No crease?" Sanzu asked.
"Nah, they're all fucking clean." Ran proudly grinned.
"'Yun o!"
"Ulol, bininyagan mo nga sapatos ko noon eh." Napairap naman si Ran.
"Lemme see yo collection. I'mma buy too." Koko said.
"Naka post 'yon sa Insta ko."
Actually, Ran is the type of guy who loves to collect shoes. Alam niyo yung tipong sobrang arte kapag nadumihan ang sapatos, and ayaw na ayaw na magka crease ito. Tapos mahilig din mag story o my day kapag may bagong bili, with a caption: sheeesh dude just got these new pairs
"Gagi!" Sigaw ni Rindou habang tinitignan ang picture, sabay nangburaot kay Ran. "Pabili nga ako, kuya. Hehe..."
"'Ge." Tumango nalang si Ran.
Suddenly, bumukas ang pintuan ng classroom, and it shows you walking out. Nagulat ka nalang nang nakasalubong mo ang F5 na nakatambay lang sa labas ng classroom.
"Ayan na nga." Bulong ni Ran, at halatang may balak ka nanaman na asarin.
You just rolled your eyes at him as you walked off.
"Psst!" Tawag sa 'yo ni Ran, but you didn't look back. "I waited here for so long for you to turn your back to me?"
"What ba?" You raised a brow.
"Una na'ko, mga pre. Hahatid ko pa 'to." Pagpapaalam ni Ran nang binuhat ang mga bags mo.
Pumayag ka na rin at pinabuhat ang mga bags mo since marami ka ring dala dala.
Nagpaalama na rin ang F5 at umalis, except for Kakucho, "Yo, Ran. Ano oras ka pupunta sa training?"
"Maya maya, sunduin ko muna si (Y/N)," Sabi ni Ran, and then faced you. "Diretso ka na ba sa bahay?"
"Ah, no. I'll go to the library first." You replied.
"Aight, I'll go to the court now," Kakucho said. "Naghihintay pa yata sina Jonathan."
"Oks, sabihin mo huwag mag dunk, ha? Putangina, isang beses nagdunk shot sila ni Kevin, pero nagland sa basketball racks. Ayun, sapul yung dalawang gago, napunta tuloy sa clinic." Kwento ni Ran.
Kakucho chuckled for a moment, at tumango na rin ito, "Yeah, sige. Mauna na ako, bye. Good bye din, (Y/N)."
"Before ako magbihis para sa training, may bibilhin ka ba sa canteen?" Tanong sa 'yo ni Ran.
"Yeah, ako na bibili. Mauna ka na." You told.
"Libre na kita."
"Hindi pa ba sapat yung isang truck na pinadeliver mo sa bahay namin last Friday?!" Napatingin ka naman kay Ran.
"Edi huwag, ako nalang kakain neto." Sabi ni Ran nang biglang kumuha ng ice candy at akala mo nagtatampo dahil kinagat niya ito, pero biglang napa aray dahil nangilo ang ngipin sa lamig.
"O, ayan kase," Nagpigil ka naman ng tawa. "Buti nga sa 'yo, and where the hell did you get that?"
"Binili ko na kanina, ang tagal mo eh." Nagpigil pa siya ng tawa.
"Ah, gano'n?" Napataas ka naman ng kilay.
"Oo, ba't?" He smirked cockily.
Sinipa mo naman ang tuhod niya at mauna nang naglakad, "Aray!" Sigaw ni Ran, at nagecho pa ito sa hallway.
"Hoy! Putangina mo, Bogart!"
Sigaw ni Jonathan sa court habang hinihintay ang captain nilang si Ran. Nagtatakbuhan muna ang mga players habang hindi pa nags-start ang training, pero mukhang may tatlong gago from Section A yata ang nanggulo.
"Woah! Woah! Dunk it Jonathan! Mahina!" Asar pa ni Tubolt habang cinocrossover ito.
"Osus, wala bang shawty rito? Ang papangit pala ng mga basketball players." Oten yawned as he looked around the court.
"Jonathan tumira ng tres, napadunk sa court ni marites!" Sigaw ni Tubolt.
"OY POTANGINAMO!" Sigaw ni Bogart nang nagbato ng bola sa mukha ni Jonathan.
"Nagbabagang balita, channel sixtynine! Ngayon, mga kababayan! Masisilayan natin ang kaputanginahan ng tatlong mga putragis animal na nakatakas sa kulungan na kilala bilang Bogart, Oten, at Tubolt ng Section A. Kitang kita kung pa'no tumatakbo sa court, kasama ang Jonathan na tumira ng tres, napadunk sa court ni marites!" Broadcast ni Kevin, isa ring basketball player from Ran's team.
"Kaya bola muna bago droga!"
"Ina mo, Kevin! Nahulog ka lang sa bubong eh!" Sigaw ni Oten.
"The fuck is happening in here?" A familiar voice was heard.
Napahinto ang lahat sa court at tumingan sa entrance, agad silang nag ayos nang nakita nila mga captain nilang si Ran at Kakucho.
"Sorry, ssob!" Sigaw nila at inayos ang mga bola.
Ikaw naman ay nasa likod ni Ran, at nagtatago sa mga teammates nito dahil nahihiya ka.
"Ayus-ayusin niyo, ha," Mukhang lumalabas na yata ang pagkastrict basketball captain ni Ran. "Get that shit done in five minutes before coach comes and our training will start."
"Noted!" Sigaw ng mga players sa loob.
"Yo, calm down." Kakucho told Ran
"Hayst, kung hindi lang tayo dumating nang mas maaga baka maabutan pa 'to ni coach. Bibigyan pa tayo ng punishment na papatakbuhin sa outside court thirty laps at push-ups, init pa naman." Reklamo ni Ran habang pinapagpag ang jersey niya.
"Yooo! Sup, Retsam Ran at Ssob Kaku! Nabalitaan niyo na ba 'yung announcement?"
"What is 'Retsam' and 'Ssob'?" You whispered, and nakarinig naman ng boses ng babae ang mga players kaya't napatingin sila sa likod ni Ran.
"Uy! Ganda, ah! Ano pangalan mo, miss? Ano na grade mo? Cute mo." Kaway ni Kevin sa 'yo.
"Pa type nalang po number, hehe." Sabi pa ni Jonathan nang binigay niya ang phone sa 'yo.
"Wiw," Oten's brows raised, "Joke lang 'yung sinabi ko kanina, may shawty pala sa mga court minsan eh noh?"
You just forced out a laugh as you held Ran's arms tightly, hiding behind him. Hindi mo rin alam kung bakit bigla ka nalang napahawak kay Ran as if he's your bodyguard.
You were startled for a bit when you felt Ran's hand snake around your waist and pulled you closer to him.
"Go back, now." Ran threatened the boys in a deep voice.
"HUH?!" Nanlaki naman ang mga mata nila, "K-kay... wow?! Jowa mo, Ran?! First time magseryoso sa babae ah!"
"Shut the fuck up." Ran hid the pink hue forming in his cheeks.
"Magsorry kayo kay (Y/N) ayaw niyong paduguin ko mga ilong niyo." Dagdag pa nito.
"Sorry, Miss (Y/N)." They bowed.
After some minutes, you all went inside the court. Nakasabay mo na rin sina Hakkai at Akane kaya't kasama ka nila ngayon sa loob, sitting at the benches while the players are busy with their training.
"Pst! Akala ko ba magl-library tayo ngayon?" Tapik sayo nina Akane at Hakkai.
"Tayo?" Your brows furrowed.
"Ay hindi ba kami kasama... hehe."
"Ah, no. It's fine, you two can come. It's just— uh, Ran asked me to stay here for a bit..." You explained.
"Himala ah, hindi ka nagrefuse unlike before! Hmm..." Pangaasar naman ng dalawa.
"Huh? No?"
"Ba't ganyan buhok mo, beh? Jusko, laging naka ponytail. Ayusan nga kita." Sabi ni Hakkai at kinuha ang bag niya.
"Eh... ok."
Hakkai grabbed a fistful of your hair, at halos mag 360 ang buhok mo dahil ang aggressive nito magtali, "Ouch!"
"Ay! Sorry!"
"Naku! Sabi sa 'yo, (Y/N)! Delikado magpatali riyan, natandaan ko nga muntik na 'kong maging kalbo katulad niya noong inayusan ako ng buhok!" Sabi ni Akane.
"I'm still slaying with my hair, noh? Duh, magpapablonde kaya ako sunod." Hakkai rolled his eyes.
"O, talaga? Magmumukha kang bata roon sa logo ng Alaska!" Sagot ni Akane na may padila pa.
Nagsabunutan nanaman ang dalawa, pero hindi namalayan ni Hakkai na buhok mo pala ang hawak niya kaya't ikaw ang nasabunutan, "AHH! Ouch! Aray!"
"AY! Hala! Sorry, oh my gosh! Akane kasi!" Sigaw ni Hakkai at hinampas pa niya ng hairbrush si Akane sa ulo.
Napahinto naman si Ran sa paglalaro at napatingin sa direksyon niyo from afar. He raised a brow at you as he tilted his head, pero you just gave him an awkward thumbs up.
"Ayan tuloy, napalingon jowa niya." Pang aasar nina Akane at Hakkai.
You just watched Ran na tumakbo lang papuntang net at nags-shoot ng bola, until Inigo, a familiar boy came up to him.
"Yo! The fuck! Paharang harang!" Sigaw nina Ran at Inigo nang nagkabanggaan.
"Kita mong teritoryo ko ang pinupuntuhan ko, ba't ka pa dumaan? Tanga ka ba, tol?" At dito, Ran finally fumed out dahil nakakahalata ni rin si Ran sa mga kilos ni Inigo.
"Ay, sa 'yo 'tong court na 'to? Nakapangalan sa 'yo?" Pilit na tawa ni Inigo.
"Ang sinasabi ko, ay itong area lang na 'to, hindi buong court dahil halata naman na tumatakbo ako papuntang net, may dinidribble na nga ako na bola." Sagot ni Ran.
"Huwag mo nga akong pagsalitaan nang ganyan," Tinulak naman ni Inigo si Ran sa dibdib niya. "Sino ka ba? Porket captain kita?"
"At sino ka para manggago, ha?!" Ran's voice raised.
Dahil dito, nakuha ang atensiyon ni (Y/N), Akane, Hakkai, at ang mga iba pang mga nanonood at players sa loob ng court.
"Pinipikon mo 'ko, ha? Nakakailan ka na. Noong isang araw ka pa, akala mo hindi ko nahahalata?" Ran's eyes narrowed as he cracked his knuckles, at napa back up nang kaunti si Inigo.
"Uy, kalma, Ran at Inigo! Pabalik na si coach! Mahuli pa kayo!" Sigaw ng isang player na aawat sa dalawa.
"Pa'no kung sinabi ko na oo? May magagawa ka?" Inigo scoffed, pero napahinto ito as Ran grabbed his collar.
"You motherfucker," Ran chuckled as his grip on Inigo's collar tightened. "Tapang mo, ah?"
Ran was about to hurl a punch at Inigo, until may nag awat sakanilang dalawa.
"Tama na, tol. Palamig muna kayong dalawa." Awat nina Kakucho at ibang players.
"Tandaan mo, Haitani. Basketball ring ang tinatarget, ha? Hindi kaaway, huwag kang umarte na akala mo teritoryo mo ang lahat." Dagdag pa ni Inigo as he's being pulled away.
"Sorry, but I have my own target and that's none of your fucking business." Ran scoffed as he walked out.
"Target?" Narinig naman ito ni (Y/N).
"Damn! Oooh! Naks, Inigo Go. Mang gago ka nalang do'n! HAHAHAHA!" Asar nina Jonathan, at magkakasama sina Oten, Bogart, Tubolt, at Kevin... parang hindi sila magkaaway kanina ah.
"Hina mo pala, Inigago eh!" Asar pa nina Bogart.
"Tch," Inigo clicked his tongue as he hurled the ball towards them, sumapul tuloy sa mukha ni Bogart. "ARAY! Hoy! Putangina mo, Inigo! Bumalik ka rito!"
"Oy oy! Bogart, hinahanap ka raw ni Baji. Nag aaya ng suntukan kasama 'yung sadboi at mala gangster sa kanto! Inaabangan ka sa gate!" Balita nina Tubolt.
"Ay, aba! Arat mga tol." Sigaw naman nito at tumakbo paalis ng court.
"Damn." Kakucho muttered, at nakaupo lang kayong tatlo nina Ran sa benches since tapos naman na ang training.
"Tsk, kapikon." Ran clicked his tongue out of frustration.
"Is it because of what happened earlier?" Kakucho asked.
"Oo." Ran grunted as he drank from his tumbler for a bit to calm himself down.
"Napakagago talaga." Ran threw a ball on the floor, at tumalbog ito sa pinaka dulo ng court dahil sa lakas ng impact.
(Y/N) huffed as she stood up from the benches, at naglakad ito papunta kay Ran.
"Kumalma ka muna kaya," You said as you rolled your eyes. "Sige, bababain ko na ang pride ko, ha? Ako naman ang manglilibre, ano?"
Nakacross lang ang arms ni Ran while leaning on the benches, and then he looked at you with his narrowed eyes.
"Edi pupunta na ako sa library, bye." You turned your back to him.
"Huy, joke lang! Balik ka rito, pst!"
"Ano ba kailangan mo?
"Lambing mo," Ran winked, but he took it back. "Joke lang, sipain mo ulit ako eh."
"Corny mo." Sagot mo.
"Alam mo, dapat galit ako ngayon eh." Ran blinked as he stood up.
"O, edi magalit ka. Walang pumipigil sa 'yo." You shrugged.
"Eh paano ba naman kasi, 'yung Inigago. Panira ng araw 'yung gago na 'yon eh, tsk!" Napairap si Ran.
"Tang ina! Kanina pa 'ko napipikon—" Sigaw ni Ran, pero nagulat nalang siya as he felt a kiss on his cheek.
Ran froze for a moment as he looked at you. He didn't expect that. Biglaan nalang.
Napatingin siya sa 'yo, and you also had a pink hue forming in your cheeks. You attempted to hide it, hindi mo rin alam on why you did that. Out of reflex, maybe? But at least, Ran calmed down, at nawala ang galit nito nang gano'n kabilis.
"Aalis na 'ko, bye." You walked out, leaving Ran stunned.
Ran was stunned for a moment, but then it turned into a teasing chuckle, "I see, so that's how you give a kiss. Cute."
Well, I suppose that Ran doesn't need to ask for a goodbye kiss now.
"Ran!" Sigaw ng mga teammates nito. Paniraw raw, nagmomoment yung tao eh.
"Puta— ano?!" Napakamot naman sa ulo si Ran.
"May muse na ba tayo para raw doon sa liga natin sa intrams?! Nag announce na si coach pati 'yung mga teachers kanina!" His teammates excitingly told.
"Tier One Tigers needs a muse, at ikaw ang may posisyon para pumili!" Dagdag pa nila, at si Ran ang tinutukoy nila, their one and only captain.
"Dapat maganda! Hehe..." Sabi nina Jonathan.
"Wait lang! Si Retsam Ran nga ang pipili! Siya yung captain eh! Tumahimik muna kayo!" Sabi ni Kevin.
"How about si Lexi?" One of them suggested.
"Pass." Ran scoffed.
"Mika?"
"Pass."
"Shane?"
"Pass."
"Danica?"
"Pass."
"Ashley?"
"Pass... pass nga! Pass pass pass pass puta pass lahat!" Ran grunted.
"(Y/N)?"
"Pass... passado."
"Yun o! Sabi na eh! Sinadya talaga namin ihuli si (Y/N)! HAHAHA!" Apir nina Jonathan at Kevin. Madiskarte.
"So, si (Y/N) na?"
"But kilala ko si (Y/N), hindi agad 'yon papayag." Ran sighed.
"Edi... hanap muna temporary?" Kevin scratched his head.
"Ewan, kayo bahala. Basta kayo 'yung kumausap sa muse, not me." Ran said.
"Luh! Ba't kami?! Ikaw 'yung captain eh, sige na Ran!" Napaawang naman ang bibig nila.
"If it's not her, then I don't want it." Ran said.
"Wow ah. Delikado na talaga, tsk tsk." Sagot ng dalawa nitong tropa.
"'De, pero tol. Ayaw mo 'yun? Makakausap natin 'yung mga magaganda, hehe odiba mindset ba mindset!" Bulong nina Jonathan kay Kevin.
"Nahihiya ako ihh hihi uwu." Sabi ni Kevin.
"Kadiri, ampota," Jonathan looked at him disgustingly, "Anyway, ikaw nalang kasi, Retsam Ran! Sige na! O kaya tanungin mo na si (Y/N) ngayon!"
"Mamaya." Simpleng sagot ni Ran habang umiinom ng tubig, pero natatapon ito sa bibig niya dahil kinukilit siya nina Jonathan at Kevin.
"Edi kami nalang kakausap kay (Y/N)--"
"Subukan niyo lang," Ran glared at them, a warning one. "Go ahead."
"Joke lang. Ayoko pa mamatay." Sabi ng dalawa.
"So ano na, 'yung maganda ba tapos sexy? Kami nalang pipili ng muse hehe..." Dagdag ng dalawa.
"Look, I want a muse that is sensible. The one that has beauty with a brain." Ran said.
"Ooh! Woah! May pagano'n ah! Sino kaya 'to, hmm?" Pangaasar ng mga teammates niya.
Ran scoffed at them, "Puta, inaasar ako. Edi huwag na tayo kumuha ng muse!"
"Joke lang!"
Ran sighed as he went silent for a moment, but then his gaze averted to a certain direction. His heart skips a beat when his sight landed on you. It's utterly undeniable now, that whatever he does, however he acts, it's all ending up in the same feeling.
So, does this girl in his field of view fits the criteria of his ideal muse?
As for someone, she's indeed a beauty with brains.
"A muse, huh? I see."
