Incertitude

I didn't have the time to check my phone because I woke up late. I need to wake up early in the morning because mom needs to go to work at 8 am. My class starts at 10. And we need to drive really early so I need to get up at 6 am because I live really far from school.

"I won't be able to pick you up by 4 today." She said, "After work, I need to go to my doctor for a check up. Can you wait somewhere near your school today?"

"Yeah." Maiksi kong sagot. "There's another game today and it ends at 7 or 8 pm. I'll be in school."

"That's great." She said, "Do you want to color your hair? It's fading."

Now that she mentioned it, I noticed it too. I dyed a quarter of my hair on both sides, it's like a highlight but it's a bit odd because I dyed it myself. It looks cute though.

"Yeah sure."

After 30 minutes, she dropped me off at the coffee place and bought some coffee for herself and tea for me before leaving. She gave me her credit card in case I needed anything.

I'm in the middle of reading a webtoon when a notification popped up.

9*********: hi

9********* : morning

It must be that one dude Megan told me. I made a face and ignored the message. I almost report his number as spam but it's not like he's sending me bad stuff. I left it on mute.

I have two hours left until my class starts, and I got lazy reading so I started watching on my laptop. I was having a really good time watching anime and drinking tea.

Someone suddenly jumped out in front of me, behind my laptop. And he was waving like a kid. His hair is all messy, a bed hair but it still looks good on him, he's wearing white tank top inside his jersey hoodie and he wore shorts. He's carrying a duffel bag, and two backpacks. One black and one gray. He's also smiling like a ten year old.

"NINA! It's so nice to see you." He casually sat next to me. "Remember me right? Rylie from last night."

Is this guy really this cheerful and "close" to other people? He acts like a kid who's seen his favorite person yet. Maybe because he's a kid, that it's ok for me.

"I do. I actually remember you." I smiled. "I also received your texts."

Kumunot ang noo nya. "Texts?" He shook his head. "I do remember asking for your number but you left before the game ended."

Then who's texting me? I showed him my phone and showed the number to him. "My friend told me it was one of the players who asked for it."

Nanlaki ang mata nya. He gasped and put his hand on his mouth and started laughing. "Oh man, that bastard!"

"Bastard?" I asked.

Tumingin siya sa bandang counter and chuckled again. He whispered "May I?" To me and apologized in advance. He wrapped his hands on my shoulder and explained himself to me.

"I'm not a bad guy I swear, it's just there's someone who really liked you but not brave enough to ask you out. I'm a cupid!" He said, "Besides, I like someone else." He wink.

Lumapit samin ang mga kaibigan nya, Milo is with them. It's the whole volleyball team. Except there is a girl with them. It's that girl from yesterday laughing at Rylie in the gym.

"Rylie, don't flirt with a middle schooler." One of them said,

I know I'm small. But these freshmen really. I chuckled and my instinct just kicked in. This is why I hate most of the freshmen, they're cocky. Lots of freshmen I pass by the hallway often poke me from the back and act like nothing happened.
