Chapter 26

"Oy, Rize, ikaw ang nakaisip ng dessert sa product natin! Ikaw ang in-charge do'n, ah."

Iniabot sa akin ni Raven ang scratch paper at saka lapis. Nakapabilog na naman kami ng grupo dahil Entrepreneurship time na. At dahil ako ang nag-suggest na mag-dessert kami, ako ang in-charge doon. Sige sure, pananagutan ko 'yan! Malaki ang paninindigan ko r'yan!

Our Entrepreneurship teacher said that we could only create three or four products for the product testing. Once these were approved by the future judges—who were also teachers, including our homeroom teacher—those would be the products we'd sell at the business summit for all of Grade 12.

"Sige, ako na ang bahala!" nag-thumbs up ako at malawak na ngumiti.

Isinulat ko na rin ang pangalan ng product na 'yon at mga ingredients. Si Raven na daw ang bahalang ayusin ang business plan. Iniisip ko pa lang tuloy ang product na 'yon ay sigurado akong magugustuhan ito ng mga bibili sa business summit.

In-excuse kami ng coach namin sa sepak dahil schedule ngayon ng training. Kasama ko si Finnley at akala mong para kaming ibon na nakawala sa koral dahil excused na kami sa quiz mamaya sa TNCT 21st. Kaya pabor talaga sa akin ang ganitong may training, eh. May chance kaming ma-excuse sa ibang subjects.

"Anong trip mo't suot-suot mo ang jacket na 'yan?!" intriga ni Finnley habang naglalakad kami.

"Miss ko na kasi siya," simple kong sagot habang tinataas-taasan ko pa siya ng kilay.

I was wearing Jayscen's jacket today. It was the windbreaker he had draped over my shoulders that night. I hadn't even returned it back, because at that time, it felt like everything just. . . disappeared. What puzzled me even more was that I still didn't understand why he had given it to me that night, especially after I turned him down.

"Pa-jacket-jacket pa 'to! Magte-training tayo, hoy!" Agresibo akong inakbayan ng hunghang na Finnley at saka ako kinaladkad. Nagpipisikalan na nga kami habang papunta sa covered court.

Hindi rin nagtagal ay natanaw na namin ang covered court. Even before we entered, we could already hear the lound sounds coming from the various strikes and smashes of multiple rackets.

What a good day to be alive.

Mukhang makakasama na naman namin ang mga player ng badminton sa pagte-training sa iisang court. More chances to see him! Even just a quick glance would be enough to fill me up, it would complete my day. I can't believe I'm this worked up just to attend practice. As long as Jayscen's there, I might even train on the weekend. Nami-miss ko na kasi siya—sobra.

I just sighed, overwhelmed by all the thoughts running through my mind, and took a deep breath to face what lay ahead. Then, I aggressively grabbed Finnley and headed straight to where our teammates were. I was already in my PE uniform. It was just a simple white T-shirt with three sky-blue stripes on the sleeves. I skipped the pants and wore the shorts version of the uniform instead, so I could move and jump more comfortably.

Inalis ko na ang pagkakasuot ko windbreaker jacket at saka ito isinabit sa upuan. The training started after a quite moment. This time, hindi na namin puwedeng hindi seryosohin ang training dahil pasok kami sa Area Meet. Paniguradong hindi biro ang mga makakalaban namin doon.

Our training sessions usually lasted two to three hours. With our schedule, we actually had two hours in the morning and three in the afternoon. Our coach was strict as well, so there's no room anymore to slack off. Before I realized it, time had flown by, and my teammates and I were exhausted so we headed back to the benches for a short break.

Ang kaso, nauuhaw na ako, wala pala akong dalang tubig. Makikiinom na sana ako sa mga kakilala ko pero natuon ang atensyon ko nang pumasok sa covered court ang coach ng badminton na kasama ang ilan sa mga player nila. May dala-dala silang malalaking cooler na sa tingin ko ay naglalaman 'yon ng mga mahiwagang inumin.
