A/N notes: Get ready for the feels in this chapter. :3  Also, finally added music because I thought this was perfect for the chapter and it is from the filipino love team, Nadine Lustre and James Reid (and yus he plays Alejandro in the story for those who looked at the cast) to all those non-filo people that don't know. The song is in tagalog but I found one with english sub. Hope you enjoy! :3

Chesa's POV 

I was in a match against Alejandro and another girl named Fumio who is an Year 12 girl. My partner up the front of me is Sasha who is also another beginner of the badminton club. The match is going pretty badly for me. Right now the score is on 20 to 11 and yes that's right, I'm losing pretty bad. 

Alejandro is a really good player and his ace smashes never fail to impress me which, I couldn't really hit it back towards him, and he smashed it on my face a few times. I can see Genko on the sidelines cheering for both Alejandro and I and I know he is not on anyone's side. I kept glancing at Genko, wondering if he is looking at me.

Ever since yesterday, I couldn't stop thinking about holding his hand. I sometimes imagine it just by looking at it and get the rush of adrenaline feel. Yet, I'm embarrassing myself in front of him because I'm losing the match. 

"Chesa!" I heard Alejandro's voice crash my thoughts, and I turn my attention back to the court. I saw him serve the shuttle to my side. I ran up and swung my racket forward to hit back to their side, but instead I missed the shuttle and fell onto the net which had scored them a point.

"21-11! Alejandro and Fumio wins the match!" My partner, Sasha helped me up and asked if I was alright. I nodded in response and thanked her for helping me up. I saw Alejandro and Fumio high-five each other for their victory and we went to shook hands as a sign of good sportsmen ship. 

I felt a bit shamed that I lose the match, letting out loud sigh and grabbing my bottle of water, and drinking it. I walked to Genko who was looking at me and was with other group of guys talking. Alejandro suddenly pulled me to the side of the court and sits me down the bench.

"Chesa, your game today was really off." He says with a concern tone. I knew he was disappointed because my real self wasn't playing today.

"I know, I'm so sorry Alejandro. I just got a lot of things in my mind."I sighed, and leaned against the wall. I looked down and felt disappointed in myself for today's crappy as game.

"Is everything alright?" He asked, tilting his head to the left.

"Eh, kinda I guess." I shrugged my shoulders and he gave me the 'really?' look. I knew he saw through me just like that. 

"If you want, you can tell me what's wrong...." He trailed off. I was hesitant to tell him about my confusing feelings for Genko and Tadashi. Alejandro is a nice guy after all, I guess I could tell him.

"I don't know if you wanna hear this annoying stuff." I crossed my arms and my legs, pouting. Alejandro shifted a bit closer to me. 

"Are you troubled about something?" 

"Yes...no...maybe. I don't know." I hesitatingly say, rolling my eyes in different places, trying to avoid his eyes. 

"I won't tell anyone about whatever your gonna tell me." He persuaded. I narrowed my eyes at him, thinking and considering if I should tell him.

"Who said I was gonna tell you anything?" I snickered. 

"Your mind though." He reached his arm and poked my forehead, with a bit force applied to it, making me push slightly backwards.

"How would you know?" I crossed my arms, narrowing my eyes again. He sighs. 

"Just tell me Chesa. I'm your friend." He begged and I just laugh. Alright, I guess it's alright to tell him. I shifted my position back to him, dusting some dust on my shorts and legs and facing him.
