Always

A 3

Ngayon ang unang pasok ni Karl at sabay kaming pumasok. We have no dress code in our school so we can wear everything we want. I just wear spaghetti dress and a platform pump, while Andrei wear white polo shirt, pants and rubber shoes.

Yesterday was Sunday and we went to church at namasyal na rin.

"Good morning, Ali!" Maine greeted me and i just kissed her cheeks, "Morning!" Andrei look us with a poker face.

"Who's that hottie? New boylet?" inirapan ko lang siya, "By the way, Karl this is Maine my bestfriend, Maine this is Karl my new friend and soon to be neighbor," Maine said hi to Andrei while the other just smile.

"Gotta go! Byee," she kissed me in my cheek then i whispered, "He's taken," she just wave and leaved.

"Hey you're so quiet," pansin ko sa katabi ko. "I'm not just comfortable with your friend, and wait almost all boys looking at you," he said habang nakatingin sa paligid.

"Of course I'm beautiful haha just kidding, maybe they thought we're couple, just don't mind them," i start walking again. Nakarating na kami sa Business Ad building, itinuro ko kung saan ang mga classroom niya sa ibat ibang subject. We're excused in our morning classes.

"This is the gymnasium, obviously haha. Btw what's you're sport?? or hobbies??" maybe he can join to different clubs this coming Friday.

"I know how to play ball," he smile jokingly to me so i gave him a glare but pinipigilan ko nalang yung tawa ko, "I mean basketball," he said while laughing.

"Oh you can try out this coming Saturday, I'll ask Heinz later," maybe mamayang break cause same kami ng break time with some basketball players.

It's 10 am when we went to cafeteria at di nga ako nagkamali ng makita ko ang ilang basketball players sa iisang mesa. Kaya hinila ko si Andrei papunta sakanila.

"Hi boyss!" Nag high five kaming lahat, "Woahh the queen of player is here with a new boy," inirapan ko sila, bahagyang natawa naman Andrei.

"Who's that, baby?" asked by kuya Heinz, i went to his side and stand there, I'm still holding Andreis arm. "Hi kuya Heinz, btw he's Karl, new F-R-I-E-N-D he's from US," unti unti naman nagpakilala yung mga nandon, sina Kuya Justin, Kuya Jake, Michael, Alex at si kuya Heinz.

Bibili na sana ako ng makakain namin si Andrei pero sabi ni kuya Jake na siya nalang daw. I just wait our snack. I guess Karl is comfortable with them.

When I'm with them they'll treat me like a queen, well their team captain is my cousin, Jacob Lim Paz siya ang dahilan kung bakit malapit ako sa basketball team. Well, speaking of him where is he??

"Kuya Heinz," kalabit ko sa kaniya but i got the attention of the other players, that why i love hanging out with them because they make you feel that every word i or you say is important.

"Asan si Jacob?" well hindi ako sanay na kinukuya ko siya, "Who's Jacob? Your boyfriend?" Andrei asked and the whole group laughed. He looked confused

"First of all i don't have a boyfriend, and Jacob Lim PAZ is my cousin the team captain of black eagles," i explained. "Asan nga siya?? Diba same kayo ng schedule kuya Just"

"You know Jacob, Ali. If he likes someone or something he'll do everything to get it," ani ni kuya Just. I just nodded and wait for our snacks. Well i guess he's chasing the girl who punched him and called him "pabida"

When kuya Jake came back with our snack, "Seriously, Ali?? Sandwich and orange juice only?" alex said, "Why, this is yummy and healthy,"

"Nagdidiet kaba?" tanong naman ni Michael, i just give him a disbelief look. "You're already hot, sexy, beautiful, ch–" di na natapos yung sinasabi ni kuya Heinz dahil binatukan kona agad siya.

"You should eat more, Alice," Andrei said, narito pa pala ito antahimik niya kasi eh. "I'm not on diet, okayy!! I'm not hungry," sabay irap ko sakanila.

Andrei requested a plate, i don't know what it is for. I just realized nang nilalagyan nila ito ng snacks nila. "O my god, what are you doing, i said I'm not hungry," dapat galit sana ako pero di ko na napigilang tumawa.

"Eat that," i saw a spaghetti, fries, chips in the plate. "Srsly?? Okay I'll eat all of that but I'll skip eating lunch," then i start eating them.

"You're late into your next class" Alex said, they all knew my schedule "We're excused until lunch, kaya baka tumambay lang kami sa library," i glanced at Andrei and he's busy eating and his attention is on his phone.

"Heyyy couz," sabay halik niya sa cheeks ko, "You're late already, don't tell me aabsent ka??" He's back hugging me, "Well yeah I'm absent but excuse," pinakawalan na niya yung yakap niya and he just noticed Andrei sitting at my side and his attention is on us now.

"Whoa, who's that, baby couz? New boylet?" then he laughed. "Ughh, seriously?? I'm not a play girl anymore, you're just giving me the idea to be that again," they just laughed kaya inirapan ko sila isa isa.

"Just kidding couz. By the way, Hi bro! I'm Jacob," he introduced him self. Tumayo si Andrei at nakipag shake hands, "Karl, Alice new friend, nice to meet you,"

Jacob eat the snack that they give to me, umangal pa yung ilan but i said I'm not hungry talaga kaya hinayaan nalang nila.

While Jacob is eating i asked kung anong oras ang try out this coming Saturday. "8:00 am, why?"

"Karl wants to join the team," well that's a lie HAHA. Andrei glanced at me and, "I just know how to play, wala akong sinabing gusto kong sumali," i just make face. "Whatever, pero magtratry out siyaa,"

He left with no choice kase pupunta talaga kami this Saturday. The team back to their classrooms, so we decided that sa library nalang muna kami.

While we're walking may humarang na babae and, "Hi may i get your number?"
