Never Thought of Dating Your Nemesis?

Chapter 6

"Ano ba?" naiinis na sita ko kay Gail nang ihagis niya sa mukha ko ang towel na pinamunas niya. She's disgusting.

"I've been calling but you seem in other dimension" tinaasan ako nito ng kilay. Samantalang tahimik na pinapanood kami ni Kate habang umiinom ng tubig sa tabi namin.

We're in our PE class. Our teacher left and let us do whatever we want here in the gym. The boys are in the gym 2 where they're playing basketball probably. While the girls decided to play volleyball. After few minutes of playing I got bored and decided to just watch them.

Currently, everyone are invested sa panonood sa mga naglalaro, paano ba naman Silvera is playing. She rarely join the class kasi.

It always a mystery to me how she can do things effortlessly. Is that really what you called talent?

She's swiftly moving around, everytime she hit the ball nakakapuntos sila. The amazement were evident in everyone's face. In all honesty, she can be a varsity player is she wants to.

I noticed on her noon pa man ay wala siyang pakealam sa paligid, she master that kind of craft. It's like she has her own world, and no one can get into it.

The game is still in progress, everyone are in sweats but unlike others nagmumukha pa rin siyang malinis at mabango.

OMYGOD! What the hell did I just I say?

"Ano ba, Gail?" I hissed nang tumama sa mukha ko ang basa niyang towel for the second time.

"Nakikipag-away ka na naman sa sarili mo. Maybe you should stop staring at Aubree nang hindi ka nagkakaganyan"

"I'm not staring!"

My body temperature suddenly rise. I'm not staring at her, I'm just watching the game, right?

"Tell that to your blushing cheeks"

"Ano ba kasing problema mo?"

"We should be the one asking you that? May problema ka ba? Ilang araw na naming napapansin yang palagi mong pagkatulala, even inside the class"

I averted my eyes. Am I really often spacing out? I can't tell. Though I won't deny that it's bothering me.

It's because of those damn pictures! I can't get it out of my mind. I refuse to be mistaken about her. I know she's a fake. Pero bakit ako lang nakakakita nito?

"Jaydeen!"

"What?"

"See? You're spacing out again. May problema ka ba?" she asked worriedly.

I sighed and shook my head.

"I'm fine, don't mind me"

"But you don't seem fine to us, Deen" sabat ni Kate saka umupo sa tabi ko.

Should I tell them about the pictures? No. I think it sounds ridiculous.

"I'm fine, really"

Muli pa sanang magsasalita si Kate nang biglang lumapit samin si Heaven, ang class president. Simula first year I'm the president of the class pero this year I decided to step down. I gave the position to Heaven when my friends told me to tone down my authoritarian leadership inside the class so instead of doing it I just let it go, I don't think leading suits me. Everyone in class wanted Silvera to be the class president but the latter refuse and let Heaven have it.

"Everyone wants to see you guys play again na magkakasama bakit hindi nyo pagbigyan ang klase?" she asked us.

We used to be in varsity team pero nagquit kami ni Kate this year, kaya't si Gail na lang ang nasa varsity team, she's the captain kasi at isa pa unlike us she's really into it. She's planning to pursue volleyball in college. I want to focus in my study dahil graduating na kami kaya mas pinili kong mag quit while Kate, she said she just got bored.
