— start
Kly, along with her closest friends, Colet, Gwen, and Jho had just finished tryouts. The four of them had always dreamt of being a varsity player in their university, always aiming to play in the UAAP.
But that dream of hers hadn't been supported by her family for the longest time, as they believed sports were useless in the long run. They told Kly to grab actual opportunities that would be useful for when she runs the company her father has built.
She was always the disappointment in their family, because all of her older siblings were now doctors, lawyers, engineers, while she was still stuck in college, wanting to pursue her sport.
She was used to hearing the phrase "Mapapakain ka ba ng pangarap na 'yan?" by her family whenever they talked about Kly's future. As the youngest among very successful siblings, she was always pressured to be the best. But nothing she ever did was called her best, rather than the bare minimum.
After her tryouts, she bumped in to the student council president, Azri Oceana who was a polsci student.
Her papers went flying across the halls. The both of them scrambled as they catched the papers. After they caught all the papers, Kly gave the paper she caught to Azri. And that was when time for her literally stopped, seeing those beautiful eyes.
Her grip on the paper tightened as Azri tried to grab it from Kly's hand, who was too busy admiring her.
She was forced to let go as she snapped back to reality when her friends called her.
"Thank you.. Uh, what's your name?" Azri asked, which made Kly's eyes widen, her face turning red.
"A-ahh.. Kly! Kyla Artemis Soriano." Kly said, smiling at Azri as she spoke.
"Ah, okay. I'm Azri. Azriel Oceana. A-ah, alis na 'ko ha! May meeting pa kami sa council, I have to go.." Azri said, scrambling on her feet, running towards the conference room, Kly just watched her run away, that stupid smile reaching her eyes, until her friends slapped the back of her head.
"Tanga ka? Gusto mo si Azri?" Colet asked, her tone serious, which made Kly unable to lie.
"I don't know if you can call it gusto when I just met her. But she's pretty though." Kly answers, grabbing her gym bag from Colet's hands, walking with them. But her smile never wavered, even once as she thought about Azri.
Later on, she found herself stalking Azri's socials.

Her friends caught her staring at her phone, and without her noticing, they took a peek, and they burst out laughing.
"Oh, may lalaki, Kly! HAHAHAHAHA" Jho said, putting an arm over Kly, laughing at her.
