This Time

Back To My Athlete Life

ALY'S P.O.V.

"Oh shit!"

I woke up because of Ysay's words. Natawa naman ako doon, haha.

Kanina kasi habang medyo tulog pa ako, biglang lumiwanag. Then the next thing happened, Ysay cussed.

That's why I opened my eyes and saw him holding his phone.

"Sa susunod kasi, sabihan mo ako pag pipicture-an mo ako." I said and giggled.

I saw him blushed. But why? This is the first time I saw Ysay blushed eh.

"You're blushing." I told him and paused to stare at his burning cheeks.

"No I'm not. And why would I wake you up? Eh gusto nga kitang picture-an na naka-nganga habang tulog."

He answered confidently. And this time, ako naman ang nag blush.

"What?! Ysay i-delete mo 'yan!"

I exclaimed and pouted.

"Nah, not until I've oosted it on twitter na. Haha"

I crossed my arms and turned to look outside the window.

"I won't get out of here until I saw you delete my photo."

"Edi sasama ka sa dorm namin."

He said and started the engine. Whaat? Is he serious?!

"Ysaaaaay!" I screamed and tried to pull the key.

"Joke lang Ly no! Haha pagalitan pa ako ng Piolo mo."

He took out his phone again and whispered something.

"As if naman mano-notice ka niya."

"Pardon? What did you say?"

I asked him.

"Nothing. I said, look at my gallery, wala kang picture oh. As in WA-LA"

He showed me his gallery, he's right. Wala pala talaga.

"Jino-joke time mo lang naman pala ako eh!"

"Syempre. Wala kang magagawa if that's my way how to wake you up. We're here na kaya. Kanina pa, lakas mo pang humilik."

"Whatever. Thank you for the ride Ysay Marasigan."

I punched his right arm and he pinched my left ear.

"You're welcome Ly. Anytime." He said and we bid our goodbyes na.

I went inside our dorm and saw my teammates talking about something.

"Oh ate Ly! Andiyan ka na pala."

Ponggay reached for my bags.

"Thank you Ponggay. Pero ako na bahala dito. Feel ko importante yang pinag-uusapan niyo nila Deanna, Therese, Jamie tsaka Jho eh. Gor na"

I smiled at Ponggay, but she didn't smile back. Instead, they all looked together.

What is going on here? May tinatago ba tong mga batang to?

"Uhm. Ahh ano po, sige ate Ly. Mag pahinga ka na po."

Ponggay said. I'm too tired to figure out what's happening so instead of asking them, I just went to my room.

I took off my shoes and put my bag on my bed as I lay down myself and closed my eyes.

I heard the door opened which made me sat up.

"Amy?" I said.

"Did I wake u up Ly? I'm sorry."

"No you didn't. Uhm, you okay besh? I don't think you are." I told her honestly. She looked so bothered kasi eh.

"I'm nervous besh." She answered while staring at the ground.

"Open up to me besh. I will listen, come here." I tapped the space on
my bed beside me to offer her a seat and she obliged.

"You know, in our past trainings I've never been so good in my blocks and spikes. I don't want to disappoint any of you, especially coach and our supporters."

My heart skipped a beat after hearing Amy's side.

"You don't have to worry anything Amy. We still have more training to undergo. Don't hurry things like these, we all have our mistakes. And we all know that you won't disappoint us. We trust you besh, so just trust yourself."

I hugged her to help her calm herself. She hugged me back and said...

"Thank you so much besh. I have been looking for a comfort like this since yesterday."

I felt guilty when Amy said that. I remember, I was with Kiefer the whole day yesterday.

I broke our hug and looked straight to her eyes.

"I'm so sorry I was not here yesterday to comfort you. I should have gave you my words of wisdom much earlier than this time. I am so so sorry."

I said and bowed my head in disappointment to myself. Amy put her arms to my shoulders and giggled.

"Don't be sorry Ly. Haha alam mo, just seeing you smile, your eagerness and your strong heart during trainings already motivates us. This is more than enough."

Upon hearing what Amy said, I smiled trying to light up the mood.

"Tama na nga to besh! Haha we're being so dramatic na eh. This is not good because we still have a big fight tonorrow. Ha?"

I told Amy and she just laughed.

"It's a training Ly. We can do it!"

After few more talks about tomorrow's event, we both bid our good nights and she went to her bed na since we are roommates lang naman din.
