ON THE SIDELINES

CHAPTER 14

FIENNA SAREM TOMAS'S POV

Kai's whole family is here to watch the finals with me, Katsuro's girlfriend is also here.

"Gambare Kai!" Sabay naming sigaw ni Kasume.

Tumingin ito sa gawi namin at ngumiti ng malaki, warm-up palang naman sila.

"He looks like he's gonna go all out" Pansin ni Katsuro kay Kai, sa totoo lang dahil kanina pa mataas ang energy ng isang 'to.

"Of course, his special someone is watching" Makahulugang sabi ni Auntie, talagang binigyan nya pa ko ng knowing look.

I love how his family acknowledge me as his 'special someone', it's not like its the first time that someone made me feel like a special someone.

But what I feel when it comes to Kai's family is different from what I felt before from my ex.

"Takai-be! Takai-be!" Fans started chanting when the teams were about to be introduced.

I remember last night, Kai told me what the meaning of their team is. 'Takai' means high while 'be' came from the word kabe which means wall.

Tokyo Takai-be = tokyo high-wall

It suits their team very well, most of the player from Kai's team have at least 6'5 as the average height.

Which I know sound so tall but for mens volleyball, that's an everage height or probably a small height.

That means, si Kai ang pinaka maliit na spiker sa team. He stands at 6'2.

"Nanba 21, Hayashi Kai autosaidosupaikā!" Malakas na tilian ang nangyari ng ipakilala na si Kai.

He sure have a lot of fan girls, natatawa na lamang ako dahil sa sobrang tinis ng mga boses nito.

"He's gonna rub it in my face later that he have more fan girls than me" His brother said.

Tinawanan lang ito ng Kasume at nang kanyang girlfriend, mapang asar talaga ang Kai na 'yon.

Matapos makipag high five sa mga ka-teammate nya at tsaka sya lumingon sa gawi namin. Nandito lang kami sa likod ng bench nila nakaupo.

Natawa ito ng makita ang mga hawak naming banner, nakatago ito kanina para wala syang ideya sa ginawa ko.

Ang banner kasing dala namin ay yung katulad ng sa creamline, yung ulo lang at walang katawan.

Ito ang laman ng maleta ko kahapon, kaya nga kakaunti lang ang damit na dala ko.

"Let's go Kai!" Sigaw ko habang winawagayway ang banner.

Natawa ito sa'kin bago sila nag huddle ng mga ka-teammate nya.

He's going on serious mode now.

After a few minutes the game has begun.

Setter of the opposing team is the first one to serve.

The ball landed on Kai, mabuti nalang at maganda ang depensa nito. Hindi na hinabol ng setter nila Kai ang bola dahil diretso na ito sakanya.

What a great set!

Sabay ang kilos ng mga hitter sa paghabol sa bola, binigay ito ng setter kay Rui for a quick play.

He scored!

"Nice one!" Sigaw ng kuya nya, he looked thrilled while watching the match.

He must have love volleyball too, yeah I remember sya nga pala ang inspiration ni Kai sa paglalaro.

Kai's team started the rally, mabilis lang din namang nabawi ng kalaban ang first point.

No wonder nakaabot sila sa finals, both teams were determine to bring the win to their team.
