Our Adorable Romance (Montejo Siblings #3)

SIMULA

His eyes were beautiful as the moon... and just like the moon, I can only admire him from afar.

"I like him..."

I sighed, I tried to keep my attention away from him but my eyes kept on glancing at his side. Many women are looking at him, just like me. But they are lucky, why? Because I know that they have a chance to be with him anytime soon... but me? I know there's none, because...

I'm too young.

He's my dream man... He will always be.

"Hezekiah! Let's go?" My best friend, Heart, appeared all of sudden.

I pouted and poked her nose, she's too maingay! I said I want silence but here she is, interrupting my peace once again.

"Wait nga, I'll just fix this." I stood up and put my laptop inside my bag, I also get my iced coffee since hindi pa naman siya ubos.

I glanced at him once again and my heart skipped a beat. Is he staring? He's staring at me!! My crush is staring at me, oh my!

I bit my lower lip as I felt my cheeks heat up. Oh gosh, I looked away and dragged my best friend out of that place.

"Oh, bakit namumula ka?" My eyes widened dahil sa sinabi ni Heart.

"N-No naman!" I looked away.

She laughed kaya hindi ako makatingin sa kanya. I just pout my lips as we entered the gymnasium. I went to my favorite place, which is sa middle part ng mga bleachers. I chose this part ng gym because I'm worried that the balls might hit my stuffs, I often bring my laptop pa naman. I then carefully put my things there.

"I'll just change, ha. Wait me here." I said.

Heart nodded while busy with her phone, after that umalis na ako and went to the girls restroom to change from my school uniform to our volleyball jersey. I tied my long hair and also put my knee and elbow pads.

Since I'm a VVA junior high volleyball player, I'm excused to my few subjects. Sometimes naman pinapasukan ko pa din sila, lalo na kapag I'm too lazy to attend my trainings.

Since we still had a thirty minutes break before our warm up, I went to my brother— Kuya Darius to remind him about something important. I saw him on the other side of the bleacher, talking with ate Samantha. His I—don't—know—their—status.

"Hello, love birds..." I greeted.

Ate Samie gave me a soft hug while my brother just nodded at me. He then asked if I already ate and other stuffs, ang daming questions naman.

"Kuya, can you please find me an art tutor? And please, don't recommend yourself!" I groaned.

Ate Samantha laughed as she smacked kuya Darius' arm. Hayyy, she's so pretty talaga. No wonder...

"I'll talk to daddy later..." My brother answered.

I almost rolled my eyes, he didn't even glance at me when he said that. He's too focused on ate Sam! This man.

"Make sure lang, I need one before this week end."

I left din naman after that kasi alam kong walang matino kay kuya, especially now that he's in front of ate Samantha.

My best friend took care of my things while I was in training. Babalik din naman 'yan sa class niya mamaya because she was just waiting for their two-hours break to end. 

As our daily training game start, me and Natalia switched positions. I temporarily became a blocker and she became a server. This is necessary, our coach wants na masanay kami sa iba't ibang positions. 

Good thing na I'm taller for my age, 16, 5'3. Not bad for 20 years old man, law student and 6'0. Wait, what?

Nah, never mind.

Of course, every time we play ay hindi kami nawawalan ng mga nanonood. And as always, my crush is also there. Watching...

But of course, not for me. I know that.

They said; "chismis has wings" So I heard chikas about that thing, like he has a crush on a volleyball player. And she's our captain.

Kimszel. She's pretty, smart, and kind. I have nothing to say. She's a tourism student for all I care.

"Hezekiah!" My teammates shouted.

Oh, my last grind. Dahil hindi ganon kalakas ang hampas ni Jackie from our team, ang kabilang team ay agad na nasalag 'yon. I calculated where the ball would possibly fall, and it will go straight to the floor since open ang gitna namin, at ako ang pinaka malapit sa pwesto na 'yon kaya sinabayan ko ang pag land ng bola, I slid to the floor as the ball hit my clenched hand. Lia tossed it and Jackie hit the ball hard to the other team. Walang nakasalag non kaya we won.

I smirked and flip my hair smoothly. I wandered my eyes and its found him, he's watching... Me.

Or maybe not? I don't know, oh, I don't wanna know. Well, at least Chandler— my motivational crush was there. I don't care kung sino ang pakay niya, I shouldn't.

Well, liking him is a good idea. Who wouldn't like a man who's good in every assets and aspects? But Chandler also feels like a dream, it's impossible to have a sweet-little encounter with him.

Because apart from knowing that I have no chance to be with him, I also knew that if ever I personally met him, he would only think of me as a child or more a sibling... 'Coz I'm just a young innocent freaking girl.
