Jho's POV
*Kriiiing kriiing*
As soon as I heard my alarm, I quickly got up and went to the bathroom. Time check 5:00 am. After doing my morning rituals, I noticed that Bea was still sleeping, so I woke her up. Baka mapagalitan 'to pag na late.
"Bea, wake up." I said, but no effect.
"Bei may training tayo. Gising na!"
"Five minutes please...." She grumpily answered.
"Hindi pwede. Bangon na diyan, 5 minutes nalang oh late na tayo." I tried to trick her and it did work.
After I said that, she got up immediately and took some clothes then ran to the restroom. I was done preparing my things, so I'm good to go. Good thing tapos na si Bea and I saw her prepare her things too.
"Good morning, Jho. Ay! Beh pala." She said then showed her pacute smile.
"Morning, Bea. Beh ka diyan!" I replied.
"Eh? Walang good?"
"Wala kasi ang tagal mong bumangon. Tara na baba na tayo."
I went down and nakasunod lang si Bea sa'kin. My teammates were already there and mukhang kami nalang ang hinihintay.
"Let's go na sa oval, girls." Ate Ly
Then we walked going sa oval. When we arrived, andun na sila coach Tai & coach Parley. Pina stretching muna kami before we jog.
"Okay 20 laps!"
Grabe si coach Tai, first day pa lang ah. Napansin ko naman na nagulat ang tatlong rookies, lalo na si Bea.
"Hindi ko yata kakayanin to, Trey." Bulong ni Bea kay Therese pero rinig na rinig ko.
"Ano ka ba! Kaya natin to. Slowly but surely." Sagot naman ni Therese.
Tiningnan ko naman si Bea at yun naka pout pa rin. Pumwesto na kami sa oval, waiting for coach Tai's whistle.
"1 2 3 priiiiit!!" Then we started running.

Bea's POV
It's still my 8th lap and I swear pagod na talaga ko. 'Shit 12 more pa.' I'm running alone kasi naman kami lahat kanya-kanya na eh, my leg hurts na but I have to finish this. While running, parang may sumabay sa'kin. And it was Jho.
"Kaya mo pa?" She asked.
"Medyo. But I feel tired na."
"Pang-ilan mo na ba?"
"8th pa nga eh. Ikaw ba?
"10th. Tara sabayan na kita. Heart strong lang, beh." She said then smiled.
Then we jogged together and kahit na pagod na pagod na ko I still kept on running. On the other hand, kahit na bumagal na pace ko, Jho never left my side. Kaya naman mas na inspire akong tumakbo.
