Chapter 2
The game
We went on the basketball court after our last class. I am so excited to see Aiden play at the court.
I gotta admit that he is good at playing basketball. He is MVP afterall.
As we enter the gymnasium, we heard loud cheers and screams for their favored team.
Sandra and I sat down on the benches almost near the basketball court. The play already started 30 minutes ago. I look at the scoreboard and I see that Aiden's team is leading.
This made me jump on my sit and shout, "Go Aiden!!"
He look towards our direction and then smiled at me.
Oh my, I felt as if I'm melting where I'm standing!
He then looks beside me then smile at Sandra. I don't want to point this out but it seems that his smile is different when it comes to Sandra.
Sa hindi ko malamang dahilan, nag iba ang timpla ng mood ko. I know na wala namang kakaiba sa ginagawa ni Aiden, the three of us are friends, pero parang mas maliwanag ang ngiti niya sa tuwing nakikita niya si Sandra.
Baka napapraning lang ako. Sandra said to me before that she likes someone else. That should ease me up but why is my feelings got heavier?
Umupo ako sa bench, nakatulala.
"Elara, Elara."
Nabalik ako sa reyalidad nang tinawag ako ni Sandra.
"Elara ayos ka lang?" She asked. Her eyes are full of worries.
Why would I feel wrong about her, she is my best friend. She would never lie to me.
I smiled at her. "Ayos lang ako. Napaisip lang ako sa tinuro ni Sir Micheal about sa basic calculus."
"Hahaha, 'yon ba. Feeling ko nga babagsak ako sa subject na 'yon. Ang bobo ko kaya sa math." She jokingly said.
Halftime na at imbes na sa benches nila si Aiden tumungo, tumakbo siya papalapit sa amin. Thankfully may dala akong bimpo at tubig.
Ibinigay ni Sandra sa kanya ang tubig .
"Thanks." His hand linger at her.
Their hands lingered longer than it needs to be. Their eyes look at each other in awe.
I don't know why... but I felt envious towards Sandra.
Why am I feeling this way.
I cough to get their attention.
They let each other go as if they were burnt by their touch.
"Oh, sorry." Aiden apologize then he quickly gulp the water as if he didn't drink for a long time.
I saw Sandra'sa face blush, embarass of what happened.
Jealousy surges inside and my eyes slowly full of hatred.
What if...?
No. She will never betray me.
I let those thoughts aside and smile back at him.
"Ako na lang pupunas ng pawis mo."
I did this all the time so I'm used to it. Pupunasan ko na sana siya ng bigla siyang umilag sa akin.
"Uhh thanks Elara pero I think kaya ko na 'to."
Kinuha niya ang bimpo sa kamay ko at pinunasan niya ang mukha niya. Napahinto ako sa ginawa niya.
