Once In A Lifetime (Athlete Series #2) - COMPLETED

FLIP - 16

FLIP - 16

Carter stopped me from doing intensive workouts to help me lessen my weight because of what happened. Looks like he's the one who's traumatised than me after what happened that time when I pushed myself to run with him at dawn.

He didn't let me to go outside to do intensive workouts like him but he somehow let me do it inside the apartment. He even go to gym every weekends while I'm at our apartment doing some light workouts because I have no weights.

But that wasn't enough for me now that the three months they gave to me has finally over.

Today is the day that I will prove myself to them that I deserve to be in the top five qualifiers for the elimination. And today is my very last chance.

Good thing I found a costume for gymnastic at the 'Ukay Ukay' store at the market so that I have something to wear later.

"KAYA mo 'yan. Ikaw pa ba." Dorry tapped my shoulder.

By the way, I already forgive her but I'm not literally that mad at her. I was just shocked that time when I saw Carter inside her apartment. She also explained what's the reason of it so we're good now.

Bumagsak ang balikat ko. "Hindi ko alam. Hindi naman nabawasan ang timbang ko ni isang kilo sa loob ng tatlong buwan."

I sighed heavily. Feeling hopeless.

"Gagi ka talaga, Ara! Akala ko ba confident kang lumaban?! Ano itong pinaggagagawa mo, ha? God, you're giving me a lot of thinking." umay na sabi ni Astrid habang umiinom ng softdrinks sa can.

Nasa Cafeteria kami at kumakain ng tanghalian habang nag kekwentuhan. Mamayang hapon na ang performance ko kaya inatake na naman ako ng kaba.

I felt Marzena caressed my hand. "Hey, I know it's easy to say and hard to do but we believe in you, Amara. You are definitely ready for this. You just need to believe yourself too that you can do it. Hmm?"

Bumuntong-hininga ako at isa-isa silang pinasadahan ng tingin. Pleading was written on their eyes.

Lima lang kami sa iisang mesa dahil wala si Hanelle at may laban daw ang mga swimmers sa New Clark City kaya wala din si Ean sabi nya sa text sa akin kahapon.

"Huy. Bakit ang drama mo ngayon?" biglang tanong ni Rylee ay Mars.

Napakunot-nuo si Mars. "Anong dramang sinasabi mo dyan?"

"Tsk. Huwag kanang mag maang-maangan pa babae. Huli ka na eh. Nag break kayo ng jowa mo noh?"

Natigilan si Mars at hindi na nagsalita.

Napasipol si Rylee. "I thought so. Gago talaga yung Leo na yun. Sarap nyang ihulog sa tulay."

Inirapan naman ni Astrid si Rylee. "Tama na okay? Awat na. Itinapon ko na yung lalaking 'yon sa tambakan ng basurahan kasama ang napaka landing girlfriend nya. Tch! Kapal ng mukha naman nong gagong' yon gawing kabit itong planetang ito. P*ta sya! I want to fucking throw them in the hell!"

"Amiga! Stop cursing! God will be mad at you! Minus points ka na nyan sa langit." saway ni Dorry kay Astrid.

Mahinang tinampal naman ni Astrid ang bibig. Napatawa ako at nagtanong.

"You really throw them to the garbage place here in AU?" she nodded. "Wow. You're such a badass. Paano mo kaya nakayanang buhatin ang lalaking 'yon sa bigat nya?"

Astrid shrugged. "Well, he's so light like a feather. I even lift a ninety kilograms so he's definitely nothing to me. Oh, and I kicked his butt by the way." parang nagmamalaking sabi pa nito.
