Chapter 8

Panay ang pagtawag ng foul kay Rake sa unang parte ng laro. It changed during the half time.

Ngumuso ako nang pumasok ang kanyang three-point shot kahit na dalawa ang nagbabantay sa kanya. Nakipalakpak na rin ako. Ilan sa mga nanonood ang tumili at nagcheer.

Well he's really good at this game. I already witnessed it during their practice games that I sometimes watch. He's a great player. He has the body of an athlete too.

Maybe that's the reason why every girl in the province likes him. I mean, he's really good looking. He has that masculine air around him that even when he's with guys like the Ranillos and my cousins, he still stands out.

I stopped clapping when I saw him glance at me while running to the back court. His undercut hair danced as he moved. He position himself to guard the player holding the ball and I noticed his biceps.

Muscles don't always get my attention because I'm used to it. My cousins are gym maniacs. They have the muscles and toned body. But then Rake's muscles won't let me ignore them.

Kumurap-kurap ako nang matanto kung ano'ng ginagawa ko. Umayos ako sa pagkakaupo at nanood nang mabuti.

The opponent player tried to shoot the ball but Rake was able to block it without getting a foul. Just earlier he got numerous fouls, posible naman palang hindi.

Humiyaw na naman ang mga nanonood dahil sa ginawa niya. Humalukipkip ako at sumandal.

I saw him took a glance at me again before running. Baste was holding the ball. My cousin stepped outside of the three-point line, attempting to get another three-point shot to their score.

Baste is in full gear, with knee and elbow pads. Naka-high socks pa at head band. His hair is in a tight bun. Kalmadong nagdridribble habang naghahanap ng pwesto para makascore. Or maybe he just wants people to look at him, that's why he's dribbling slow.

"Buwaya na naman si Kuya, tignan mo. Paubos na shot clock, e!" si Nica dahil sa ginagawa ni Baste.

Kaizen was shouting at him to pass the ball. Libre si Kai at walang nagbabantay sa kanya dahil si Baste ang binabantayan nila. The asshole was still pushing his luck to score.

"Tangina! Akin na!" I heard Kai shouted in frustration.

Baste ignored him and jumped for a shot. He was blocked by his three guards. He cursed while running to the back court.

"Ayan, bobo kasi!" sigaw nina Ate. "Libre si Kai kanina, e!"

They were trash talking Baste when Rake stole the ball from the opponent. Bigla silang tumili at sumigaw.

Umahon ako galing sa pagkakasandal. Rake dribbled the ball and passed it to Jansen. My cousin jumped for a shot but passed it to Rake who's already near the ring.

He scored.

Ngumuso ako at tinanggap na magaling nga talaga siyang maglaro. Naghiyawan ulit ang mga nanonood at lumakas ang tilian ng mga babae.

I saw his smirk then glanced at me. Pinasadahan niya ng daliri ang kanyang buhok habang tumatakbo.

After a short while, I suddenly felt the urge to pee. Kinalabit ko si Ate at nagpaalam na magsi-CR lang. Tumayo ako at nagpunta sa comfort room.

Pagpasok ko, tatlong babae ang nag-uusap sa harap ng salamin habang inaayos ang mga sarili. I walked past them and proceeded to the vacant cubicle.

I heard one of them mentioned Rake's name that caught my attention. I didn't mean to eavesdrop and I know it's rude but I'm in the same place with them so I have no choice but to hear them.
