The battle of passion

CHAPTER IV

Yanna's POV

5:04pm | Sparks College Gym

"Hudson! " I shouted as I entered the school's gym, where my members are playing basketball. When he looked at me, I showed them the bottle of water that I was holding.

He smiled then ran to the bleachers. I handed the bottle to him.

"Thank you, beb." he said with a smile. I just smiled back and sat beside him.

While Charles was wiping his arms which are full of sweat, Janrae, who was running towards us, got my attention.

"Ako, wala?" he frowned. I chuckled for his childish act.

I handed another bottle to him as I said, "Ikaw pa ba makakalimutan ko."

He smiled sweetly as a sign of gratitude then blew me a kiss. Kinuha niya yung phone niyang isa sa mga nakatambak na phone sa may tabi ko.

Sanay na sanay na akong makita at maranasan ang ganitong scenario - Nagbabasketball sila pagkatapos ng klase o basta't may free time sila, bibili ako ng tubig para sa kanila, at may mga nakahandusay na phone sa bleachers (Malamang phone ng leaders yan, kasi alam nilang pwede sila makatanggap ng mga importanteng message at tawag anytime.)

"Bro! Someone's calling!" sigaw ni Janrae kay Stan habang nakaturo sa phone niya..

"Who?" tanong nya habang tumatakbo palapit.

Naisip kong baka importanteng tao nga 'yon kasi naistorbo si Stan sa paglalaro.
I leaned to see who it was.

Incoming call from..

Sabrina Young ❤️

Oh. "Someone special." I told him bago pa sya makalapit.

Agad naman nyang kinuha yung phone niya at umupo bago ito sagutin.

He answered the phone with his sweetest tone. "Hey. What's up?"

"Wag mo na pakinggan, sasaktan mo lang sarili mo."

Napalingon ako kay Charles na biglang nagsalita. Nakatingin din siya kay Stan na nakangiti pang nakikipag-usap kay Sabrina sa phone.

"Anong pinagsasabi mo? Pfft." I showed him my most convincing smile. "I was just listening. Bakit naman ako masasaktan?"

"You can fool anyone but me, A." he said without looking at me. He drank a little more water before running back to the court.

Paano nalaman ni Charles?

Hindi naman ako nagsasalita- hindi ko nga inaamin kahit kanino eh. I don't want anyone to know because awkwardness would be no good to our team. Magkakapatid lang ang turingan namin- nothing more, nothing less. Pero wala eh, bago pa man magka-Voiceless, gusto ko na siya.

Oo, gusto ko si Stan. Ang nag-iisang Stanley Daniel Villanueva, Voiceless' leader.

I brushed off the thoughts running in my mind. Napalingon muli ako kay Stan na mukhang nag-iba na ang mood. Mula sa sweet aura nya, mapapansin ang matamlay niyang aura.

"Sab, please don't be like this. I've been waiting so long just to talk to you." he brushed his hair with full of frustration.

"Can't you spare me at least 10 minutes? I'm free anytime.. for you."

"Alright. Just give me a call."

I was just listening and stayed as silent as I can. But I can not deny the fact that the last words broke my heart instantly.

"I love you.."

I tried my best not to shed a tear. Nope, I wasn't hurt by that. It's not like it's my first time hearing that. I repeatedly told myself.
