Sarabia Heights 1: Fixing the Broken Hearts

Chapter 7

FBH 7

"Si Apey oh."

"Akala mo naman kung sino kase kasama niya lagi yung mga poging taga Sarabia."

"Kahit naman dito mahilig talaga siyang lumapit sa mga lalaki."

As usual I heard people talking behind my back. It's the third and the last day of the Sports Feast at lagi pa din akong laman ng mga chismis ng schoolmates ko dito dati sa SCA.

"Palagi kang nakarinig ng chismis tungkol sa iyo dito?" Tanong ni Francis nung narinig yung mga sinabi ng schoolmates ko. He even stopped his track and was about to look at my schoolmates.

"Oo, hayaan mo na."

"Why though, I mean bakit ka pinag-uusapan, ano yung dahilan?"

"Because they think I am a snob, boastful and a person who thinks highly of myself. Pero hayaan mo na, one day mapapagod din sila niyan."

"I hope hindi ka nagpapaapekto sa kanila." Sabi nito sabay tapik sa likod ko.

"Hindi naman, alam ko naman sa sarili ko kung sino ako." Mas kilala ko naman yung sarili kaysa sa kanila. Mas magmukhang guilty pa ako kapag pinatulan ko pa sila. "So, see you later!"

"Oo, doon lang ako sa taas." Paalam ni Francis sa akin.

Today is the championship game of the football game between Sarabia Heights and Llamares High School. Kasabay din nito yung championship sa basketball na paglalabanan naman ng SCA at Sarabia. Aaron's recovery was a big factor kaya nakarating sa championship yung Sarabia. However, our volleyball team wasn't able to make it to the Finals. Malaking kawalan talaga yung playmaker nila Francis. They entered semi-finals but they felt short for bronze and they were held as 4th runner-up. Not bad pa din naman.

Danica and Marie Claire is the one who is supporting Emil and Aaron but Marie Claire will leave Danica sa second half daw kase magpeprepare na siya sa pageant niya mamayang gabi. Emil's parent were there kaya may kasama pa din naman si Danica. While Francis is with his teammates habang ako naman ay nandito sa media area para i-cover yung game ni Miah.

"Ariba Llamares, Ariba! Ariba!"

"Sarabia Heights Maroons, Go Fight Win!"

I heard the different chants from the audience supporting their own team. Hindi pa naman nagsisimula yung game but I already take a lot of shots, from the players to the audience. Puno ngayon yung field even though may kasabay din ditong championships na nagaganap sa iba't-ibang location dito sa SCA. It's a pretty big school that's why they can accommodate huge number of people.

The game already started kaya naman yung fans sobrang inggay na din. Miah is in near the goal post of the opponent but the defense was so intact kaya hindi na nadala sa kabila yung bola. It is the game of wit and defense right now.

Saktong pagtutok ko ng camera kay Miah ay natumba ito. He jumps aiming to to headshot the ball that was thrown to him pero saktong tumakbo naman yung kalaban niya papunta sa direksyo niya kaya nabunggo siya nito.

"Ohhhhh!"

The fans reacted to the scene worriedly as both players are still on the ground. Miah was holding unto his shoulders na siyang naunang nakarating sa lupa nong bumagsak siya. While his opponent was holding unto his jaw na nakabunggo sa kamay ni Miah habang nasa ere ito.

I am terribly worried about him kase hawak niya pa din yung shoulders niya papuntang first aid side. Sa katabi naming tent. While the game resumes.

"Tara puntahan natin doon." Aya ng kasama ko sa publication.
