Chapter 18: Dirty Play

Alexia's POV

I wake up because of the sunlight peaking at my window. Argh! 

Agad akong tumayo at nagunat unat. Konting push ups and sit ups then dumeretsyo nako para maligo.

This is my first time getting up early. I can't believe it. It's 5:45 a.m. right now. Since the game starts at 10 a.m., we are sent to school early.

Dapat nga di ako sasali kaso ang higpit ni Mr. Perez, ang coach ng Archery club. Siya kasi ang nakatoka na magbantay sa every practice namin. At palagi ako napapagalitan dahil minsan late at malala hinde ako dumadalo ng practice.

He emphasized that practice is necessary to avoid accidents. Tch! Wala naman akong paki. 

Each section participant practiced separately. I only went to coach Perez's practice twice since it wasn't essential for me. I know how to handle an arrow and bow perfectly. I am capable of hitting the bullseye on the first hit.

The coach was impressed at me, but I shouldn't take that for granted to sit and chill. I heard a rumor na lalaban ang defending champion from Section B na si Lucian Dominque. Hinde naman ako nababahala since I don't care if I win or lose. But of course, it's like stepping on my pride when I lose. So I set my goal for that gold award. Goodness! It's so shiny.

Hindi ko narin nabutuan si Xius. Nagpaalam din siya sakin na aalis din siya ng maaga. 

Nakarating ako sa school na prepared na ang lahat. Ang iba ay inaayos ang gear nila ang bow nila. Yung iba naman nagchill lang or nagcp. Nahagip ko sa di kalayuan si Lucian. I can't be wrong because it's very obvious, he's wearing his varsity shirt. If I remember correctly, he is the president of the Archery Club.

He is currently practicing. May iba pa nga mga grupo ng babaeng pinapanood siya habng nagpractice magisa.

Umupo ako sa hinde kalayuang bangko at pinanood siya. I got interested. The way his armed formed and his body is fixed on the ground. Lumalabas pa nga ang mga biceps niya tuwing hinihila niya ang pana.

He let go of the arrow and it hit in the middle. Bullseye. Bawat tira niya ay sa gitna ito tumutusok. I can say isa siyang professional. Alam mo kasi kapag marunong talaga. Sa posture palang katawan at kamay eh mapapatumpak kana agad.

Naabutan niya ako nakatingin sakaniya kaya nginisihan niyako. Kaasar!

Soon we were called to change clothes. I simply wear a black tank, black fitted jeans, and leather boots. Actually, I didn't choose what I wear for today. I asked for expert advice of course. It's a friend of mine.

I also wear my chest and arm gear and my gloves. When I'm ready ay lumabas ako ng room at dumeretsyo sa field kung saan gaganapin ang laban.

Every section may assigned na room for privacy. Astig nga eh. Ang effort nila. Especially my section. Ang Section E. Naabutan ako ang room na maraming nakadigit na letter of goodluck. Meron pa malaking body mirror na may ilaw sa gilid. Nagpicture nga ako dun tapos pinost ko sa IG ko. Hep hep hep! Hinde lang yun ang pasabog ng section ko. Meron din silang nakaready na food and drinks na agad ko din kinain at ininom. Dipa kasi ako kumakain ng breakfast. Agad kasi ako pumunta ng school.

Meron din mga iba't iba kong picture. Siguro sa IG nila ito nakuha dahil mostly ay post ko sa IG. Nahagip ko ang picture ko kasama ang Dark Knights. Napangiti ako ng mapait ng maalala ko nanaman ang nangyare kagabe. Tsk!

They called and texted me, but I didn't pay attention. I am mad. Yes, to the highest level. I'm disgusted by what they did last night. As if I wasn't in that room and they were enjoying it. Nahiya naman sila saakin kahit onte noh.
