“Red doesn't suit you, Allegra.”
I almost threw the pen I was holding at him. Ever since I came here to the field, he has been teasing me. His friends even support him when it comes to teasing me. Maybe, he thinks he's the reason why I want to be the manager of their baseball team, of course, he's not the reason—it's Favro.
“Ililista mo lang ang ability nila, pati ang position nila sa laro. Subukan mo rin kumuha ng mga information ng mga team na makakalaban nila, ayon lang muna sa ngayon,” ani coach.
“Sge salamat,” sagot ko kay coach.
I raised an eyebrow when Toshiro came up to me, his entire body drenched in sweat and panting—he had just finished practicing batting, that's why. I frowned when he took off his sweaty black t-shirt. Coach was almost shocked by what Toshi did, but his teammates just teased us while Favro didn't seem to care. I just rolled my eyes at him.
I only glanced at his body for a second, but I couldn’t help but notice how well-built he was, like a work of art, with surprisingly fair skin for a baseball player.
I turned away, thinking he’s just trying to get our attention.
“Here, wear my black t-shirt, hindi bagay sayo iyang suot mong red, e,” aniya na dahilan para tumigil ako sa paglalakad, masyado talagang papansin.
“Crush mo ata si Belle, e!” Ani noong isa niyang ka-team.
“She's not my type, gusto ko ‘yung mahinhin na babae tapos hindi mukhang unggoy,” he teased trying to get my attention.
I couldn't help it but to answer him.
“Mas mukha ka pa nga unggoy sa akin. Alis na ako coach,” pagpapaalam ko.
Bago pa ako makalayo sa field rinig na rinig ko ang ingay nila, sigurado naman ako na inaasar lang nila si Toshiro, ano.
Tumigil ako sa paglalakad ng may makabangga akong babae, nahulog ang lahat ng mga papel na hawak niya sa sahig kaya naman tinulungan ko siya sa pag dampot non.
“Here,” I gave her the paper—When I saw her face I immediately raised an eyebrow.
She's kinda familiar but I can't remember where and how I met her. Siguro kaya pamilyar ang itsura niya ay dahil araw araw akong nagbabasa ng mga estudyante dito sa university.
Na sanay na rin naman ako sa pagbabasa ng information ng mga tao, kasama na don ang pag tingin sa mga itsura niya simula nang makapasok ako sa ganitong klaseng trabaho.
When I first did it, I felt guilty every day because, besides being a crime, it also made me uncomfortable. I needed to read their information to know if they were included in the case or not.
“S-Salamat,” she replied in a low tone as she fixed her glasses.
She was wearing a gray hoodie and pants—she doesn't wear a uniform. She was also wearing glasses, but when you look into her eyes, it obviously seems that her eyes are fine. Her curly hair is messy, her eyes are round, and she has dark circles under her eyes.
‘Do I know you?’ That is the question I want to ask but I need to be careful.
“So, you are one of Professor Jane's students?” tanong ko, nakita ko kasi ang papel na dinampot ko kanina, handwriting iyon ni Professor Jane.
Umiiwas siya ng tingin sakin, hindi mapakali ang mga mata.
“H-Hindi…. S-Second y-year student… ako,” Her answer was stammered.
“Senior pala kita, nice to meet you po,” sagot ko, ngumiti lang siya tsaka nag lakad paalis.
Bakas na bakas sa itsura niya ang takot, hindi ko alam kung saan siya natatakot. I’ll try to investigate her later.
Hindi na ako pumunta sa second subject ko, umuwi na rin ako sa apartment tsaka nag palit ng suot na damit—Ito ‘yung uniform na binigay ni coach. Polo na pula; kaya nga inaasar ako ng Toshiro na iyon na hindi daw bagay sakin ang pula.
Mas lalo naman sa kanya, ano! Muka siyang engot sa pulang damit.
Nag timpla ako ng black coffee bago ako umupo sa sofa, pinatong ko ang dalawang laptop ko sa coffee table.
I was busy typing on the laptop keyboard when my phone rang. I didn't check it because I thought it was just my father messaging about that annoying case. But when it rang again and again, I had no choice but to check it.

Hindi ko na tinuloy basahin ang conversation nila, nag left lang ako sa groupchat pero ina-add pa rin ako ng Jacob kaya minute ko na lang.
They are just talking nonsense, teasing each other, and etc… napansin ko rin na nandon sa gc ni Favro pero nag se-seen lang siya, hindi nga siya nag re-react eh.
Napatingin ako sa laptop ko nang may mag email sakin, nang buksan ko ang email siyang pag ngisi ko naman sa nakita ko. It was from an unknown user. He/she sent a picture of me earlier, showing how I helped that senior pick up her notebook from the floor. Well, it seems like someone is stalking me.
