I Am Like You (GirlxGirl Story)

Chapter Fifteen

Annastacia

One look and I knew
iba na..
Malagkit dumikit ang
tingin ng mata..
One smile..
Iba nang ibig sabihin..
Di na friends ang
tingin nya sa 'kin..

Until out the blue
I'm feeling so trueeee
Bigla na lang sinabi nya
sa akin...

Natatawa ako sa sarili ko habang pinapakinggan yung lyrics ng kantang umiere sa loob ng sasakyan ko.

Its Saturday morning and supposedly nasa bahay lang ako with my mom and mumsy but at the last minute I decided to accept Ms. Liason's invitation. And when I broke the news to my parents they seems more excited than me. They even told me if they can watch my try out but I said NO to them, they just shook their head sa panghihinayang pero I explained my reason and they nod in understanding.

So here I am right now, parking my car at the big university. Once I got outside I took a deep breath and remind my self to take it easy. No one should notice that I am a different human being.

Once I got my things inside my car I started to walk heading to the basketball gym for my try out. Again, I reminded my self no use of powers. No cheating and enjoy playing.

Being to focused hindi ko napansin na may dalawan sasakyang pumarada at may limang taong bumaba galing sa dalawang sasakyan. Naghintay yung limang tao na makapasok muna sa gym bago sumunod.

Pumwesto yung limang tao sa upuan na di mapapansin ng mga manlalaro at magta-try outs.

Pag pasok ko ng gym napansin ko agad ang ilang mga babaeng naka suot ng basketball jersey ng school dahil sa logo na mababasa mo na naka kalat sa gitna ng basketball court, yung iba nag uusap yung iba nag-i-stretching, yung isa naka upo sa sahig may nakasalpak ng headset sa tenga, nakikinig marahil ng music.

Nang tumingin sya sa left middle side ng gym nakita nyang nakatayo doon si Ms. Liason or Coach V. kausap ang isang lalakeng kaedaran nya marahil at isang babaeng mukhang nasa early 30's.

Biglang napadako ang tingin ni Coach V sakin at napangiti ng maluwang. Sinenyasan nya ako na lumapit sa kanya. Nag jog ako palapit sa kanya at napansin kong naagaw ko ang atensyon ng mga babaeng manlalaro ng school.

Nang makalapit na ako kay Coach V agad nya akong pinakilala sa mga kausap nya.

"Gilbert and Cha meet Annastacia, sya yung idinidiscuss ko sa inyo kanina na magandang addition sa team natin," nakangiting sabi ni Coach V. "Annastacia this is Gilbert and Charice my assistant on coaching this team."

Sabay silang nag-hi sakin.

"I thought I am going for try out?" hindi ko napigilang naisagot. Napakamot sa ulo si Coach V at napangisi lang na ikinakunot ng noo ko.

"Honestly Anna two weeks ng tapos ang patry out namin and one of my player got injured during our practice game and our team's doctor said na it will take months for her injury to be heal. And I am really planning to announce another try out since we are lack of having a good point guard. But then I saw how you play and handle the ball well so..." mahabang explanation nito.

"Still, you haven't seen me played with at least someone guarding me or defending me." kunot pa rin ang noo ko.

"Wow, you are just really someone. Kung iba ang inofferan ko nito and telling what I had told you tsak na ikatutuwa nila because I notice their potential but you.." napapalatak na sabi ni Coach V na ikinasang-ayon ng dalawa nyang kasama "gusto mong patunayan ang sarili mo na you deserve to be part of our team right?"
