In Your Wildest Dream

28

Weeks had passed since I met Liron's mother but I didn't say any word to him. I still tried to understand her.

Liron and I decided not to see each other for the mean time dahil naging mainit ang mata ng media sa kanya. We just message or video call each other if we have time.Bantay sarado din kasi sya ng manager and handler nya.

"Char, what's your plan this coming vacation?" Abby asked because it's only a week before the school year ends

"Find a summer job, advance reading, I will also try to look for a company na pwedeng pasukan for internship" I said and re-check our thesis paper

"Why don't you chill for a while—-hindi ka ba napapagod sa routine mo?"tanong ni Abby at binaba ang first chapter ng thesis na naprint na namin

"I don't have time to waste—"I answered but I didn't finished my word when my phone rangs

It's Coach Joseph...

[Avery, where are you?] bungad na tanong nito sa akin

"I'm with Abby—-why?"I asked and glance at Abby who's listening to us

[Can you go in the university? We need to talk—-it's something urgent]sagot nito at bakas sa boses nya ang pagkabalisa

"O—kay, I'll be there" I said and ended the call

"What happened?"Abby asked pero wala akong masagot kasi kahit ako di ko alam kung anong meron

"Can you drive me to the university?"tanong ko kay Abby at agad naman itong tumango at kinuha ang car keys nya

"Hindi maganda ang pakiramdam ko dito" sambit ko habang nasa sasakyan kami

"Don't think too much, okay—-I'll go with you" pagpapakalma nito sa akin pero hindi pa rin nawala ang kaba ko

After 20 minutes we arrived at the school. Halos takbuhin ko ang daan papuntang director's office. Hindi na ko nag-abala pang kumatok——I immediately Coach Joseph's face when I entered the room.

"It's good that you're here Ms. Armani"sambit ni Director Tan ng makita ako

"Good afternoon, Director"I greeted him but he just smiled at me

"Bakit nyo po pinatawag si Avery?"tanong ni Abby na nasa likod ko

"I'll go straight to the point—-we need to pull out your scholarship including the dorm. We also need to replace you as the team captain of women's volleyball"sambit nito na halos ipanghina ko. Napaupo ako sa upuan dahil para akong pinagsakluban ng langit at lupa

That scholarship is very important to me...

"Why are you doing it all of a sudden? I'm sure that Avery didn't violate any rules in the university. She is very qualified for the scholarship—-she's running as the Summa Cum Laude. She's an effective team captain"sabi ni Coach Joseph at napatayo na mula sa pagkakaupo nya

"I'm sorry but we can't do anything about this"malungkot na sabi ng director

"Sir, before pulling out a scholarship there should be a valid reason—-you should give me a reason"halos naiiyak na sabi ko

"Hindi kami papayag na palitan sya as a team captain—-it's either she stays or you will lose your volleyball varsity team"seryosong sabi ni Coach Joseph pero nanatiling tikom ang bibig ng school director
