Change

Chapter 2

Excited akong pumunta ng school because according to kuya Daniel ngayon magsisimula ang practice. Pinatawag ako ng coach sa gym kung saan gaganapin ang practice nila for the game.

I walk slowly until I reach the gym. Parang hindi kumpleto ang team nila. Nakaramdam ako ng hiya ng lahat sila ay napatingin sa akin. I was disappointed because I notice that Lemuel is not here.

"Ok team, this pretty girl beside me is Ara, she will be our team muse for the incoming sport feast. As a rule, she is now part of our team and I hope magkakasundo kayong lahat since nandito siya every time you will practice, is it ok with you guys?" Mahabang paliwanag ni coach Bryle. Coach Bryle was kuya Daniel's best friend.

"Yes coach!" Sabay nilang sabi at ngumiti sa akin. Kinabahan naman ako dahil kung nandito ako every time they will practice, makikita ko palagi si Lemuel. Pero bakit wala siya dito?

After coach Bryle introduce me, he also introduce the whole team para makilala ko silang lahat.

The practice started without Lemuel pero parang nalunok ko ang puso ko ng makita ko siyang tumatakbo papunta sa team niya. Nalate pala siya.

Oh God! Mas gwapo siya sa malapitan. He had his very black hair, basa iyon cause of his sweat. Pero kahit basa parang gusto niyang amoy-amoyin yun. His eyes was her favorite, he had his blue tantalizing eyes with long eye lashes, mas mahaba pa siguro ang mga pilik mata niya kaysa sa akin. Ang makakapal niyang mga kilay ay nagbigay sa kanya ng appeal and those lips, I know it will be heaven if I will taste those red lips of him. Maputi si Lemuel, at hindi matatago ang ganda ng katawan nito dahil na rin siguro sa kakalaro nito ng volleyball. He was wearing a white sando na natatakpan nito ng blue jacket. He's wearing his blue jersey short and a black rubber shoes.

Agad siyang sumali sa team para magpractice. Sinusundan ko ang bawat galaw niya and he caught me looking at him intently. I feel my cheeks heated. He just smile at me and wink. Seriously? He wink on me! I'll tell Rowella about this! Oh my gosh! I can't wait!

Time out ng practice nila and he look at me again while drinking his mineral water. Ngumisi siya at kinausap ang isa sa mga ka team niya. His team mate look at me and said something to Lemuel. Lemuel look at me and smile. Umiwas ako ng tingin dahil nahihiya ako.

"Hi, so you're the muse, Sir Daniel really had a good choice of choosing muse for this team.." napatingin ako sa nagsalita. Si Lemuel lang pala. Wait, what?! Si Lemuel?!Kinausap ako! O.M.G!

"Me? Ah..me? Ahh right, its me. Yeah me, oh I'm sorry.. It's just that, nagulat lang ako sayo.." nahihiya akong ngumiti sa kanya.

"It's ok, well so you're an architecture student, right?" Nakangiti nitong tanong at tumango lang ako. "By the way, I'm Lemuel Velanueva, I am an engineering student.."

Nakangiting nakatingin lang ako sa kanya. Para akong nakakita ng anghel. Sexy at super gwapong anghel.

"I'm the captain ball of this team and I'm sorry I was super late, may inasikaso lang kasi ako kaya hindi ako nasali sa mga pinakilala ni coach sayo.." mahabang paliwanag nito.

"Don't worry, I know all about you already.." wala sa sariling sabi ko at parang sinampal ako ng bigla akong nagising sa day dreaming ko ng makita ko siyang napangisi sa sinabi ko. "I mean, syempre naman diba, sikat ka because you've been the volleyball team captain of our department kaya kilala na kita.." namumulang paliwanag ko sa kanya.

"And you're?.." sabi nito na nakangiti pa rin.

"Ahm, I am Ara. Ara Trinidad.." pakilala ko sa sarili ko at tinanggap ang kamay nitong kanina pa pala nakalahad sa harapan ko.

"Nice to meet you Ara, I hope hindi ka maboring sa practices namin.." he said still smiling.

Ha? Never Lemuel. Sigaw ng malanding utak ko. But definitely true, hindi ako magsasawang manuod ng practices nila basta nandyan lang siya. Kahit hanggang hating gabi, manunuod ako.

Pagkatapos naming magpakilala ng pormal, bumalik na siya sa team nila ang practice again.
I hope this is the beginning for us. Sana kahit maging friend ko lang siya. Okay na ako dun.
