His Crush (BeaRdy FanFiction)

Chapter 7

Bea

Here I am at a thai (naalala ko tuloy si coach, haha) restaurant with ate Ella and ate Den. Ate Ly was supposed to join us but last minute, nagyaya si kuya Kief lumabas. Tatanggihan sana ni ate ly but the good friends that we are, sabi namin di din kami matutuloy kung hindi siya sasama kay kuya kief. Hahaha! Alam mo naman kapag inlove... Haha!

Speaking of that, my own "love life", kung meron man, iiiiiiiss... A mess. Kung sa facebook, para siyang the ever-famous, "it's complicated". Kaya nga nagyaya ako lumabas eh, kasi kung hindi, promise loka-loka na ko ngayon. Swear.

Ella: O, so, anyare beatriz?
Bea: Ha?
Dennise: Bakit bigla-bigla ka nagyaya?
Bea: Ehh, umm, wala. Namiss ko lang kayo. Di pwede? (laughing)
Ella: Ha. Maniwala kami sayo De Leon.
Bea: Promise nga. Nakakaloka lang talaga sa-
Dennise: What's up with thirds?

Diretsong tanong ni ate den. Ganyan talaga siya, intense. Di ko lang talaga alam minsan kung masaya ba ko na ganyan siya eh. Scary na kasi minsan. Haha!

Bea: Wa-wala. Okay naman kami. Umm, wa-wala naman kaming problema-
Ella: Bei, we asked kung kamusta si thirds. Hindi kung kamusta "kayo". You see? You just said it without us even asking-
Dennise: And you just proved to us that there's a problem by the way you're denying that there is one.

Whew. Si ate Ella din pala, intense na. Tapos, nag-level up pa si ate Den. Jusko po.

Bea: Honestly honestly, wala nga-
Ella: Spill it.

They left me no choice. Fine.

Bea: Well, you both know naman na thirdy has been courting me for quite some time now, right?

And they both nodded.

Bea: Well, these past few days, thirdy has been more clingy and... Affectionate, siguro? Parang walang-wala na talaga sakanya kung may makakita samin or whatever. He has definitely been more "ma-effort", and has done me a lot of favors. And... There's this thing in me na, wants to.....

Repay those favors. Gusto ko ibalik sakanya lahat ng nagawa niya para sakin-

Dennise: And how do you intend to, "repay those favors"?

Bea: Welllll, first of all siguro, mas less na ko nagagalit sakanya. Yung mga bagay na usually kinagagalitan ko, pinababayaan ko na lang, for him. And you know what? Para
ngang mas nagugustuhan ko pa nga ata na extra-clingy siya ngayon, para ngang nahahawa na ko eh (i chuckled) at hinahayaan ko na lang siya-

Dennise: Oh my God.
Ella: Finally.
Bea: Finally wha-what?

Dennise and Ella: Finally,
you're inlove.

OOOOOkay. So that convo with ate Ella and Den didn't make the topic any clearer. So I just decided to vent this out in our training.

The usual. Stretching, warm-up with the ball, blocking and spiking drills. And it hadn't felt this good in awhile. Siguro mas nagiging effective lang talaga ako kapag may bumabagabag sakin. I'm being able to get it off my head through playing something I enjoy.

Afterwards, I decided to sit in the benches first before going home. Hindi na ko sumabay kina Jho. Wala. Siguro I just wanted some alone time when...

Cole: Oh! Bea!

And so come Cole. Even though I wanted to be alone, since matagal-tagal ko na din naman siya hindi nakakausap I decided to entertain him na rin.

Bea: Oh cole. Hi.
Cole: What are you doing here? Kanina pa tapos training niyo diba?
Bea: Yeah. Pero maingay-ingay din kasi dun sa dorm. Eh wala ako sa mood makisabay sa mood nila.
Cole: Why? Is something bothering you?
Bea: Ha? Wa-wala naman.

I said. Staring off into the distance.

Cole: C'mon bei. Sakin ka pa ba magtatago? Spill na.
Bea: Umm, siguro naguguluhan lang talaga ako, about..
Cole: About? Let me guess, love life? Naks naman, ang isang bea de leon naguguluhan sa love life. Inggit ako. HAHAHA!! With who ba?
Bea: Umm... Thi-thirdy.
Cole: Talaga?! BeaRdy! BeaRdy! BeaRdy!

Cole shouted in the entire gym.

Bea: Cole naman! May makarinig pa sayo eh! Haha!

I said. Smiling a bit. For the first time this day.

Cole: And so? Bahala sila. May sari-sarili din naman ata silang love life. Di mo lang alam yon kasi ikaw mismo wala. HAHAHAHA!
Bea: Grabe ka talaga sakin. HAHAHAHA!
Cole: Oh, atleast! Napatawa kita diba! Pero totoo talaga yung sinabi ko. HAHAHAHA!

And we shared stories and secrets and laughed all night. Kahit nga life tips eh, nabigyan na namin isa't-isa. So eventually, we decided to call it a night. Hinatid na niya ko sa may dorm, then we said our goodbyes. I was about to enter when...

"Beatriz."
