The Broken One

Tennis Court

I smiled as I read the sign of our university's tennis court. Playing Tennis gave me so much memories...

"Faye,Ikaw lang ang hindi nakakuha ng Gold Medal sa team natin" our coach approached me and said these words.One sentence and all my passion disapperead in a minute. I feltguilty.Sana ginalingan ko pa.Nakakahiya dahil Coach Marissa trusted me to play single because I've been playing doubles eversince I was in elementary.Wala nakong mukhang maihaharap.

"Bakit hindi ka umattend ng awarding?" One of my team mates asked me.

'I will only be a hindrance of our team.'

"Nakalimutan ko kasi e" I answered with a smile.

"Ahh ganun ba? Nagpicture kami sayang wala ka!"

'I don't want to ruin your photo.'

"Okay lang yun..Magselfie na lang ako with my medal" my silver and unappreiated medal. I said and left.

Sa ilang taon kong paglalaro ng tennis once lang ako nakatikim ng Gold na medal and the others are 2nd and 3rd place...I or we have never been a fourth placer...should I consider that as a good thing?

I may not be really good when it comes to playing tennis but hey,It became a big part of my life. And I'm happy that I was able to play and know this sport. I met a lot of great and good people. We made good memories that I'll treasure my whole life.

"Miss,Watch out!!" I heard someone shout so I tried looking at the source of the voice only to see a tennis ball going my way and it's about to...

"ARAY!" hit me and it fell on the ground.

Buti pa yung bola may sumasalo.

Pero masakit yun ha!!

"Sorry miss.Are you okay?" Sabi ng lalakeng sa tingin ko ay nakatama sakin ng bola.

"Of freakin' course I'm okay! Okay lang ako kahit ang sakit sakit na.Yan naman kasi yung gusto niyong marinig galing sakin diba? " I said and laughed.

"E--excuse me?" He asked while looking stupidly at me.

We just look at each other for like 5 awkward seconds...

Holy cheese Faye! hugot pa! Ano ba yang iniisip mo??

Kinuha ko yung bola sa ground para makatakas sa awkward situation namin.

"I mean I'm okay.Medyo masakit pero kakayanin ko pa naman." I smiled a him awkwardly and gave him his ball.

"Sa susunod mag-ingat ka kasi hindi mo alam baka may matamaan ka."

"You sure you're okay?" He asked while trying to stop himself from laughing--I suppose.

I nod.

"Okay,then. Ingat miss. Next time, stop pacing out." He said and smiled.

"Alvan!!! ano na nangyari?!" we heard someone shout.

"I gotta go,Miss.Sorry again." He said while smiling stupidly at me. Ano iniisip netong weirdo na 'to?

"Sure.Thanks." I said and as he run backwards he's waving at me while smiling.

Parang tanga naman netong lalakeng to! Ano ba? may nakakatawa ba sa mukha ko?

bahala na nga.tsk! sakit ng noo ko mukhang magkakapasa pa ata.

Naglakad lakad lang ako sa campus namin dahil 1st week pa lang to after magpasukan at never pako nagkaron ng chance para malibot to.

Totoo nga ang sinasabi nila na iba ang college sa high school! Pag college, punuan sa library at pag high school naman pakontian. In college,you're going to meet different kinds of people and a lot of people.They can either make or break you.

Our campus is an eco-friendly one. It's full of trees and grasses.Hindi po ako sa forest nag-aaral ha? Hahahaha :(

May mga luma at bagong building dito.Katulad ng Arts Building na parang isang earthquake lang gigiba na at ang Science Building,na building namin,ay bagong bago pa.

I am studying in Far Western University,And I never thought that by studying here....my life would be in a total chaos...
