Chapter 5

Briella's POV

"What's the meaning of this?!" said the unknown girl.

Hindi ko napigilan ang pagtaas ng kilay ko. Kung may dala lang sana akong popcorn ngayon. I looked at the girl. In all fairness, she's pretty and okay and pretty and fine. Decent, I guess. She looks decent. With her big eyes, thin lips, slim body and her aura that screams typical girlfriend.

Lumapit ang babae at samin at sinampal ang lalaking kanina lang ay kahalikan ko. Woah, I smell break up.

"We're done Aspen! I'm done! Lagi ka nalang may iba! Nakakasawa!" sigaw nito habang umiiyak. "Let's break up."

A minute of silence.

"Ok."

"Okay?!"

"Okay." he simply said then shrugged.

Then there comes the awkward silence again. Awkward awkward awkward with the girl sobbing. I have always wondered what to do in these kind of situations? Especially when I have nothing to say.

Aspen cleared his throat. "Uh. I need to go." Then he smiled. He looked at me then winked. "You're welcome by the way." Then he walked away.

I guess that's the best thing to do.

And I'm welcome? Sino namang nagsabing magpapasalamat ako? Tss.

"Hindi *sob* manlang *sob* ako pinigil?!" Sob sob sob.

Tumingin ako sakanya ang saktong tumingin din sya sakin at nakatanggap ako ng isang masamang tingin. Tinaasan ko lang sya ng kilay.

"This is your fault! Ugh! You'll pay for this!" at umalis na sya. Stomp stomp stomp.

I rolled my eyes. Just how much bitch? Parang nasayang ang oras ko sa nangyari ah. Nah, kidding. I loved the kiss.

Bumalik ako sa field at dumaan ulit sa likod. Naalala ko tuloy ang dahilan kung pano ako napunta sa sitwasyong iyon. Napailing nalang ako. Kamusta na kaya yung lalaking binato ko ng itlog? I giggled at the thought. Ayon ang napapala ng mga malalanding tao na kung saan-saan gumagawa ng milagro. Tsk.

"Oh kamusta ang laban?" tanong ko nang nakita ko sila Necha at Rikki.

"What do you expect? Edi syempre lamang sila Neil!" Sagot ni Rikki.

"Oh."

"Pero malakas din yung kabila. That guy" she pointed a guy. Criminy. He looks familiar. Criminy. He's the guy who I have accidentally spilled my coffee on.

"He's..." I trailed off.

"Yep. Sya yung natapunan mo ng coffee. His name is Lysander. He volunteered to play although he's an old member."

Parang saktong narinig naman ng lalaki ang pangalan nya dahil habang naglalaro ito ay lumingon ito sakin. Again, itinaas ko lang ang kilay ko.

Wink.

What's up with guys winking at me?

Narinig kong natawa si Necha at sinabing "Nako Briella. Makamandag ka talaga." at ibinalik ang atensyon nya sa laro.

I just stared blankly on nothing. Wala naman akong reaksyon but damn boy was he hot.

Itinuon ko na din ang atensyon ko sa laro hanggang sa matapos ito.
