This Time

Ysay and Aly?

ALYSSA'S P.O.V.

"Chill lang Baldo. Ayaw ko lang makita umiyak ka." Ysay winked teasingly at me as I rolled my eyes on him. This guy's full of confidence, really.

He's saying kasi na kaya daw kami nanalo because he didn't give his full effort in the game.

"Marck sabihin mo nga, ano pinakain niyo kay Ysay? Bakit sobrang hangin?" I asked Marck who's right beside Ysay.

"Wala akong alam Ly. Promise, mabait to." Marck answered pointing to his chest.

"Psh. So are you saying that I am not?" Ysay remarked.

"Yeah, feel ko hindi talaga Ysay not until you'll meet your 'someone' who'll change you." I stuck my tounge out of Ysay.

"Boom! Bro, ano na? Talo ka na? Move na kasi hoy! Mauunahan ka niyan!" And his teammates teased him. 

"Shut it bro. It's not funny." Ysay said and then looked at me.

"What does that mean Ysay? You like someone and I don't have any idea who this lucky girl is?!" I told him trying to emphasize the last sentence.

"Why? Do you think YOU ARE A LUCKY GIRL?" He answered which gained him a punch in his arm. I stood up and made my way to my teammates.

Bantay ka lang Ysay pag nalaman ko kung sino.

YSAY'S P.O.V.

If you knew you're that lucky girl Ly. And I hope pag nalaman mo, you'd still say that the girl a like, is indeed a lucky girl. 

I wanted to say those words to Alyssa but I still don't have the guts. Only my teammates and Jhoana know about my feeling and thankfully, they haven't talked anything about it with Alyssa.

My eyes followed Alyssa as she walked out, I saw Jho staring at me. I smiled at her with full of sadness and she just smiled back at me.

We are now at the BEG, we just had our match with the Lady Eagles earlier for our training.

Apparently, they won. Seriously this team's really hard to defeat! I also lost my focus awhile ago because of Alyssa.

That's why she kept on asking me why am I not in the mood kanina. Yun kasi sinabi ko, wala ako sa mood kaya sila nanalo. Haha liar.

When I was about to go out of the gym, Jho called me.

"Bakit Jho? Wala ka pa bang klase?" I asked her.

"Meron po. Pero si ate Ly wala. I think she's going back to the Eliaso Dorm eh. Try to look for her nalang kuya." She said and bid good bye after.

I mouthed thanks to her when she looked back at me and she gave me her two thumbs up.

I ran to the waiting area just few meters away from the gym and there, I saw the 5 ft and 9 inches tall girl wearing her white Ateneo Shirt and black shorts with her gym bag.

"Hinihintay mo ako?" I asked her. Siyempre jino-joke ko lang siya.

Sabi ng iba yun daw problema ko. Laging dinadaan sa joke.

"Wag mo ako kausapin nagtatampo ako." She answered while staring at her phone.

"Bakit Ly? Sorry."

"Di mo pa nga alam kung bakit, nag sosorry ka na agad. Haha." I smiled when I heard her laugh.

"Ikaw kasi. Di mo sinasabi sakin kung sino crush mo." She continued.

I paused for how many seconds while thinking if it's about time na para malaman niya.

"Pag papayag kang ihatid kita papunta sa dorm niyo I'll spill it out." Yes, I think it's my chance na. Bahala na kung anong mangyari.

"Iiihh?! Hindi ako pwede ngayon eh. I'm waiting for someone na to fetch me here. Tapos we'll have breakfast together somewhere daw."

I was stunned after hearing Alyssa. Seryoso, wala akong masabi.

"Andiyan na pala siya oh." She said when a black car stopped in front of us. It is Kiefer's.

"Promise me we'll talk about her next time ha?" Alyssa said and hopped inside Kiefer's car.

"Yeah. Promise." That was all I could say before the car started to move and Kiefer beeped as a good bye.

I just waved my hand as a reply.

It's not yet too late bro. Love like a man. Stand still. The fight's not yet over bro.
