"Go, number 13!"

"Go, number 27! Go, Espina!"

"Arcilla, sipain mo rin ako!"

Wincing, I walked away from the crowd that kept on shouting to support our school's soccer team that was playing against Lee Academy. Dumayo pa kami sa Lee Academy para sa laro nila kaya 'di hamak na mas marami ang sumisigaw para sa team ng Lee Academy. Hindi naman nagpapatalo ang school namin pero mas marami lang talaga ang mga taga-LA.

Puti ang suot na t-shirt ng mga taga-suporta ng Lee Academy dahil gano'n ang main color ng school nila. Maroon naman ang amin. I was wearing my maroon t-shirt that has the club name of the news' club with the school's name under it. Sa likod ng t-shirt ko ay ang motto ng school namin, "Don't hesitate. Go, participate.", kulay puti ang tinta. Sa sleeves ng shirt ko, nakalagay ang apelyido ko, Espina. I partnered my shirt with my black high-waisted shorts, and white rubber shoes since I'll be walking all day. I also tied my hair in a high ponytail with my maroon ribbon tie.

Around my neck was the lace of my DLSR camera that I'd been holding since the beginning of the game. Amy was with me to write the record of the game while I kept on capturing every movement of our soccer players.

"Go, 27!!!"

"Go, 13! Pabagsakin mo silang lahat gamit ang sipa mo!"

"Putang ina! Go, number 15! Sipain mo rin ako!"

"Number 11, pakasalan mo ako!!!"

Ang mga numerong kanina ko pa naririnig na isinisigaw ng mga manonood ay ang mga numero ng mga jersey nina Kuya Amari, Toshi, Leale, at Eman. Silang apat pala ang pinakasikat mula sa soccer team dahil halos mga mukha nila ang nakikita ko sa mga banner na dala ng mga fans nila. Ang pinakamarami? Kay Leale.

"Go, Odds BFF! Pabagsakin niyo ang mga puting 'yan!"

Odds BFF? What the fuck?

Binalingan ko si Neil nang marinig ang isinigaw niya. Nilingon niya rin ako nang maramdaman ang tingin ko. Malakas siyang natawa nang makita ang pagtataka sa mukha ko. Nasa bandang unahan siya dahil may boyfriend siya mula sa soccer team. Bilang supportive friends, sinamahan siya nina Amanda na manood ng laro.

"Odds BFF, Maevhelle! 11, 13, 15! Odds numbers! Ano ka ba?!" Paliwanag ni Neil sa 'kin bago muling bumaling sa laro. "Go, babe! Kaya mo 'yan! Mas kiss ka sa 'kin mamaya!"

Napailing na lamang ako dahil sa kalokohan at kalandian niya. Nagpaalam ako sa kanila na lilipat lang ako ng pwesto para makakuha ng mas magandang shot. I pointed my camera at Leale who was currently had the ball. Two players from the opposite team were guarding him which made him passed the ball to my brother who was nearer. When my brother got the ball, he immediately ran and kicked the ball to the goal, making the crowd roared out of excitement.

"Go, number 27!!!" The crowd cheered my brother.

I captured my brother who looked at our side with a wide smile, making his fans go crazy again. He waved at them as sweat kept on falling from his forehead down to his neck. His maroon with its grey lining was probably covered with his sweats, too, since they were running since the morning. Add the heat from the fucking sun.

I continued taking photos of them while moving around, too. My priority was the team and the game. I'm sure Amy was doing her job, too, even though I could hear her fangirling from my stance. Well, who won't cheer in this game? It's too intense. They are all good.
