Chapter 38: You Do Not Observe

We all went to the gym. Ano nga pala ang dahilan kung bakit may ganito? Ah. Cooler wants to talk to me but Gray wouldn't allow it so Ryu got this crazy idea. It's fine with me to talk to Cooler, like I said, I don't hate him.

But when it comes to that devil, it's another story. The idea of having this match is not really bad. I don't know kung ano ang pumasok sa kukote ko at nakisakay ako sa kakitiran ng utak ni Ryu. Well, it's a good way to kill time.

While on our way to the gym, we saw our classmate Marcus along the way kaya pinakiusapan namin siyang maging referee sa laro which he gladly accepted. Nang makarating kami sa gym ay nag-warm up muna sila.

Lumapit naman sa akin si Khael at nagtanong tungkol sa kalaban nila. "Sino ba "yang mga balot na yan Special A?"

"Balot?"

His lips pointed to Cooler and Ryu. Meh, he called them Balut. "They're the not so good buddies of Gray. Ah basta. The one who shoot a lot is Cooler while the one who cannot shoot is Ryu," wika ko at tinapunan sila ng tingin. Cooler own the basket. Hindi pa man nagsisimula ang laro ay marami na ang tumambay sa gym upang manuod sa kanila. Oh yeah, they're eye catchers, no wonder.

"Buddies? I don't know them. I'm Silvan's best buddy so I'm supposed to know them too," he said. Mukhang nagseselos ang bestfriend. "I don't like them."

"Why?" I asked him. What's this, a 'hate at first sight?'

"They're a threat to our handsomeness, pero medyo malayo pa rin naman sila," wika niya at pinigilan ko ang sariling batukan ito. Seriously Khael?! Akala ko ba balot sila?

"Masyado ka talagang mahangin," sabi ko. "By the way, paano ka nakapasok dito sa Bridle? Hindi basta-basta nagpapapasok ang Bridle."

"Oh, that? I climbed on the walls," he said. "How about those two? They're not on their uniform so I supposed that they're not from Bridle too, are they?"

I rolled my eyes. Dalawang bagay lang iyan. It's either they fooled the guards or they threatened them. "I don't know how but I hope that it's through the most legal means. What are you doing here anyway?" Surely he didn't feel like Gray needed help so he rushed his few hours' drive towards here.

"I came to save Silvan," he said and I gave him my deadliest glare so he raised his arms in surrender and answered me. "Fine, don't look at me that way Special A. Pumunta ako rito para imbitahin ka sa paparating na Athena School Festival."

Hindi na ako nakasagot pa dahil tinawag na ni Gray si Khael. He's now on his jeans and rubber shoes instead of his slacks and black shoes. Just like Cooler, Khael shoot the ball easily samantalang kahit isang shoot ay wala si Gray. Ni hindi nga halos umaabot sa ring ang inihahagis niyang bola.

Hindi nagtagal ay nagsimula na ang laro. Cooler got the ball on the jump ball at agad na nilaro iyon. He scored their first shot. Bumawi naman si Khael. He got the ball from Ryu who was dribbling it and shoot it from the three-point line. Sapul!

Nagsimula nang dumami ang mga estudyanteng nanunuod. Some girls were shouting and cheering for them.

"Go Athena guy!" a girl shouted. She was a Grade 10 student kaya marahil nakilala na nito si Khael during the camp. Pati mga junior high ay nagawi na rito!

"WHOOO! The one in gray jeans! Marry me please?" another one shouted and she was referring to Cooler.

"Graaaaay! Ikaw pa rin sa akin kahit hindi ka pa nakaka-shoot!"

"Kyaaaaaaaah! Please court me Mr. Handsome instead of Marion."

Iba-iba ang sigaw ng mga estudyante. Uh, seriously? The game was good. Khael and Cooler are equally good. Tila walang magpapatalo. On the other hand, Ryu and Gray equally suck. Both of them didn't score even once. But looking at them, they have something good in them. Mabilis makaagaw ng bola si Gray na agad niyang pinapasa kay Khael. Ryu was good at defense too at magaling itong magblock sa mga tira.
