I stayed at the practice area for the whole morning, not to practice, but to avoid Sun and Veia which I heard they became so clingy.
Tsk, hindi pa nga sila!
Marami ring nagulat that Sun said he's now courting her. Of course, she's not my twin's ideal girl and Sun never showed that he likes Veia in public-oh, I realized he never showed any affection for Veia, he's just making fun of her and that's his way of showing his feelings.
Enough of them, I must now focus on my game. The team event, SHS versus College, is almost done. Dumadami na rin 'yong tao rito sa practice area. Yeah, dito ginanap 'yong laro, and yes, dinayo 'to ng mga estudyante to watch, to support, and of course, to just fantasize on good-looking players, and also, to film me later, as usual!
I roamed around trying to see if my Twin and Veia are here, but no sign of them. I also looked for Hillary, but I can't see her, too. I'd decided to go to our room, hoping I'll see her there. I just wanted to ask her if she's now okay or she's still in pain just like me.
But, when I came to our classroom I've seen Veia instead of Hillary. When she saw me she immediately hides that something she's doing. "S-Sky," she said, smiling. She stood up and I never expected she'll hug me so sudden! "Namiss kita," she whispered.
I chuckled, then I replied, "and why?"
"Anong and why?" she let go from the hug, "buong araw kitang 'di nakasama kahapon, I've been calling you last night, but you're not answering, and now, whole morning kitang 'di nakita, nakakamiss ka kaya," she said, then pouts her lips. I always find her cute when she's doing that.
"You now have Sun, I think I need to get out of the frame," I uttered.
A moment of silence for her. She then hugs me again, from the back. And, sh*t! I couldn't lie, my heart skips a beat! "Sky, naman, eh! Bakit mo naman gagawin 'yon? Best friend kita, eh," she said.
I took off her hands. Ayokong may makakita sa'min na nasa ganitong sitwasyon. There are so many judgemental people scattered around.
I looked at her and I was surprised to see her in tears, "Veia?"
"Sky...hindi dahil nililigawan ako ni Sun...didistansya ka na...ayoko 'yon," she said in between her sobs. "Kaya ba...kaya ba hindi mo sinasagot 'yong tawag ko kagabi, ha? Lalayuan mo na ako? Lalayuan mo na kami?" she added.
I shook my head, "I'm sorry kung pinag-isip kita ng ganiyan," I said, sincerely. "I'm not going to distance myself away from the both of you, I'm just giving you time to be together. Ako 'yong lagi mong nakakasama noon, but now that someone wants to know you more kailangan ko munang dumistansya for good."
"Sky, naman, hindi ka naman siguro pagseselosan ng kakambal mo, 'di ba?"
Hindi nga, pero kapag sasama pa rin ako sa inyo sinasaktan ko naman 'yong sarili ko!
I smiled, "it's not like that Veia. I know that Sun won't ever get jealous of me, he trusts your feelings, he trusts me. I hope you can understand," I said.
She wiped her tears, then she said, "pero, sana naman kapag kailangan kita lagi ka lang nandiyan."
"Of course, I'm always one call away," I replied. "Tapusin mo na 'yong ginagawa mo malapit na 'yong laro ko."
"N-Nakita mo?" she's somehow worried that I've seen what she's doing earlier, "you no longer get surprised," she said right after she sighed.
"You're doing it every time I have a game, Veia," just like before, gumawa na naman kasi siya ng cheer poster and there's a handwritten line saying, 'Good Luck and God Bless, Sky!' that's her way of showing her support for me, "but don't worry I always get surprised of your effort," I uttered again. "You really are my best friend," this time, I was the one who embraced her, "thank you," I whispered, then I let go after a minute. "Tapusin mo na 'yan, dapat makita ko 'yan mamaya," umalis na rin ako matapos sabihin 'yon.
When I came back at the practice room Coach Erika has been calling our name, "individual event, Harry, Ben, Greg, and, Sky, you only have five minutes to prepare!" she said.
I took a deep breath as I get my bow.
I don't know what's the result for today's game. I am not certain that I'll win. Masyadong mabigat ang pakiramdam ko at hindi ko kayang ialis 'yon kahit sandali lang.
Damn this!
