I adjusted the lens and clicked the button capturing the sweaty, smiling faces of the students that were cheerfully cheering for today's game. Jubilant was clearly seen on their faces as evidence that they are enjoying the foundation week as well as the intramural. I tilted my head a little on the left side as I check the photos, one student has a red balloon on her head as a crown, a wide smile was etched on her face as she was talking with her friend, I guess.
"Sabi ko naman sa'yo bumalik ka na lang sa publication as photo journalist" my friend, Kylee said as she sat down beside me while munching her chips, holding a balloon on her free hand she looked at me with bored eyes.
"I can't" i simply said. It's not that I don't want to, it's just that i can't, given with my schedule i want to focus more on my academics rather than on extracurricular activities.
"Magaling ka, ano ba kasing problema bakit ka umalis?" Tanong niya muli sa akin, makulit talaga tong si Lee.
"Gusto ko lang naman magfocus sa studies ko" itinaas ko ang camera at kumuha muli ng ilang larawan.
"Kaya mo naman pagsabayin ah?" Tama naman siya pero dahil we're in our last year as high school students mas gusto kong pagtuunan ng pansin ang pag-aaral ko.
"Tagal naman magsimula ng game nila kuya" bagot na sabi ni Lee. We're actually in here in Kalvin's University, kasalukuyang nasa 3rd year college taking up Civil Engineering. Niyaya lamang ako ni Lee manood dahil kasali raw iyong crush niya na Architecture naman ang kinukuhang kurso.
"Buti na lang nakapasa tayo sa admission exam dito, araw araw ko na masisilayan si crush sa sunod na pasukan!" Kinikilig na sambit ni Lee, panay pa ang tulak niya sa braso ko, kumikinang kinang pa ang mga mata niya habang sinasabi iyon sa akin.
"Uh? Business Ad ang kukunin natin at hindi Architecture, huwag mo sabihin na tatambay ka sa building nila at hindi papasok?" Inarkuhan ko siya ng kilay.
"Of course not! To naman panira ng moment!" Inis niyang binitawan ang bag ng chips at saka ngumuso sa akin. Napailing na lamang ako.
"Woooh!" Napalingon ako court ng biglang magsigawan ang mga tao, kasabay noon ay ang pagpasok sa court ng mga lalaking naka suot ng Jersey. Nakita ko agad si Kalvin, wearing his red Jersey shorts and shirt.
"Ayun yung crush ko!" Tumitili at halos bugbugin na ako ni Lee, hatak hatak niya ang laylayan ng damit ko, pinalo ko ang kamay niya dahil baka mapunit pa ang damit ko sa sobrang harot niya. I rolled my eyes as she dreamingly held her both hands while looking at her crush, Evan Lance, Kalvin team's opponent. Oo, yung kalaban ng Kuya niya ang ipinunta niya rito at hindi ang kapatid niya.
"Sayang naman wala si Uno" rinig kong sabi ng babae sa likuran namin.
"Lagi na lang siyang wala, pansin mo?" Hindi naman ako chismosa pero dahil sa nasa likuran ko lang sila ay dinig na dinig ko ang pinag uusapan nila. I just shrugged, maybe they are talking about someone who's supposed to play in this game.
"Oh shoot!" I panicked as I read the message that Mama sent me, i forgot about the check-up that was appointed today. Nagpaalam ako kay Lee na kailangan kong samahan si Mama ngayon, she just nodded her head while her eyes still fixated on Lance.
"Excuse me!" Nagmamadali akong lumabas ng arena hanggang sa may mabunggo akong babae.
"I'm sorry!" Hinging paumanhin ko sakanya, she smiled and said that it was okay. I said my apology again before heading my way home.
