The Goalkeeper and the Dreamer (Young Love Series #1)

Chapter 2

"You're late again, Ms. Prosala. And you have someone with you. I'm assuming she's a transferee. Transferee ka, pero late ka. " Ma'am Rodelfeo said.

"Remember that it's important to be responsible and respectful of others' time. Being late can disrupt the learning or worship experience for everyone involved. Do you want to discuss why you were late and find a solution to ensure it doesn't happen again."

"I'm sorr–" naputol ang sasabihin ko nang mag salita si Ma'am.

"I have heard your apologies several times, but you haven't changed."

Napayuko ako, "I'm sorry." Mahina kong sambit. "Please refrain from using that tone, Ms. Prosala. Due to your punishment, you will be required to remain in the goal field where it is hot."

Napatingin ako kay Ma'am Rodelfeo sa gulat. Veronica smirked.  "G-goal field?" I asked. Hindi pwedeng mali ang pagkakarinig ko! hindi!

"Yes, I understand that this is not the kind of punishment that should be imposed on both of you. But, I hope you all realize your mistake. . . You may leave."

Hinawakan na ni Veronica ang kamay ko at hinila ako palabas ng Principal office.

I was still in a daze when we left the principal's office, my heart felt like it was about to explode from joy and excitement.

"Makikita ko na ulit si Dean." I mumbled. "Makikita ko na ulit ang baby ko!" I shouted, and shook Veronica's shoulder.

She sighed, "Okay, Calm down, Calm down. Tara na do'n, baka ma-abutan tayo ni Ma'am Rodelfeo dito."

"Makikita ko na ulit ang baby ko, Makikita ko na ulit si Dean." I sang while walking and doing a cute dance.

"Ay, ano ba 'yan! ang init pala dito." Pag-rereklamo ko. "Ay, kasalanan ko rin pala." I chuckled. Para akong tangang kinakausap ang sarili.

I frowned when I realized that Veronica's attention was not on me.

It turns out she was looking at a guy next to Dean. . . DEAN?! And when I realized. "Baby ko!" I shouted. Other girls and Dean's friends glanced at me.

Veronica's eyes widened when she saw me running towards Dean.  I was getting closer and closer to Dean when Veronica pulled me back.

Napatingin sa'kin ang mga kaibigan ni Dean at nginitian ako. My eyes widened into a heart shape when Dean looked at me.

"Yes, Ms. Prosala?" His voice is so soft yet deep. . . It resembled angels, so mesmerizing.

Perhaps this is the time to tell him that I like him, that I love him.

"I like you D–" I paused as Veronica covered my mouth. "Ay! Haha! she likes. . . Ano. . ." she awkwardly laughed.

"Dean. .  Dean. . Din. . ." She whispered softly, "D-Dinner!" She excitedly said, which caused my eyes to widen.

"S-She likes dinner," she awkwardly chucked. "Diba? ang aga pa, dinner na agad ang nasa-isip?" She pulled me away.
"Mauna na kami, sorry sa abala." With her hand still covering my mouth, she turned around and we walked away.

I am feeling disappointed because my plan didn't go as expected. However, if plan A fails, I believe there are alternative plans from B to Z. Therefore, I still have many opportunities to pursue.

I glanced at Dean and my heart skipped a beat when I noticed that he was also looking at me.

"Veronica, what do you think you're doing? Why didn't you let me confess?" We were far away from Dean,  I was really surprised why she was stopping me. Hindi naman s'ya ganito.

"Did you really think it would be easy? Aurina, Dean is famous! Do you want to risk having crazy fans of Dean ruining your life? I thought you were fine with just admiring him from a distance?"

I chuckled sarcastically, "Noon 'yon, Veronica. . . Noon. But now, I can't handle it anymore. Even if he rejects me, it's okay as long as I have expressed my feelings. Veronica, bago ka pa rito, pero kung maka-asta ka, akala mo alam mo lahat."

"Hindi mo na iintindihin," She mumbled and shook her head. "I can't believe, Oh my God. Are we really going to fight over this? For some crazy foolishness? This is so dramatic, I can't take this." She sighed and placed her hand on her forehead.

"If you think that I'm trying to steal Dean from you, Aurina, you're mistaken. This is for your own sake, but if you want to pursue it, I will support you, just don't neglect yourself. We're acting like fools, fighting over small things that shouldn't even be a problem. Pwede na tayong i-palabas sa Star Cinema." She chuckled.
