6th REBOUND

The girls headed straight to the Blue Eagles' dugout after the game. Mika spearheaded the barging thing that happened inside Mall of Asia. The girls happened to congratulate the boys for their awesome win, "Congratulations Kuya! Ang galing-galing mo! Nakakapanghinayang na you're not the player of the game. You had your numbers out there!" Mika greeted Nico the moment they got in the boys' dugout.

"Ano ka ba! It doesn't matter naman eh, what matters most is that the team won!" Nico replied casually, causing Mika to smirk.

"Congratulations Idol! You did really great kanina." Gretchen butted in the conversation out of the blue, congratulating her boyfriend for performing well.

"Thank you po Idol! Thank You!" Nico replied courteously hugging Gretchen tightly making the girls giggle in awe.

"Nakakakilig talaga 'tong dalawang 'to oh! Kayo na talaga as in!" Ara remarked still giggling, much to the amusement of Gretchen and Nico.

"I really agree with you best! Super nakakakilig 'tong dalawang 'to." Mika seconded, still chuckling.

"Paps! May dinner daw mamaya ang team, sa Zark's ata, ano sasama ka ba?" A guy asked out of the blue. The four turned to the owner of the voice and the guy turned out to be Kiefer Ravena.

"Ahh ganun ba Paps? Sige paps count me in! Mukhang wala naman ata kaming lalakarin nitong bossing ko. Wala ba?" Nico replied and now shifting his attention to his girl.

"Hmmn wala, magre-rest ako later. Sige you can go with them." Gretchen replied, assuring Nico.

"You heard her Paps! Count me in!" Nico remarked, patting his teammate's shoulders.

Ara on the other hand noticed the look on her best friend Mika's face. A kind of look that's so hungry for a fight.

"Hoy Ravena! Anong ginawa mo dun sa interview mo kanina? Bakit mo'ko binati? Close ba tayo?!" Mika shouted out of nowhere which startled the gang except for Ara who knew that this scene was going to take place.

"H-Hi M-Mika. Ahh wala lang kasi gusto lang kitang batiin, I honestly didn't know that you'll be mad." Kiefer retorted.

Mika's eyebrows furrowed, she rolled her eyes and in reply, said, "After what you did to me sa Sombrero! Napaka-kapal naman talaga ng mukha mo!"

Kiefer gave Mika a very confusing look much to Mika's complete disappointment. "What are you talking about?" Kiefer dumbly asked.

"Sorry Miss, ang bagal-bagal mo kasi eh." Mika exclaimed mimmicking Kiefer's husky voice. "Oh, naalala mo na? Does that ring a bell to you Mr. Bansot?" Mika added while twiddling with her fingers.

"Ahhh, ikaw pala yung babae sa Sombrero. S-sorry about that Mika ha, hindi ko kasi sinasadya and naiihi na talaga ako that time." Kiefer pleaded for remission.

"Don't act as if your nice Kiefer! Alam ko naman yang true identity mo ano. Pasikat!" Mika retaliated making Kiefer's eyebrows furrow in disbelief.

The three (Ara, Nico, and Gretchen) just stared at the two blankly. They too can feel the tension growing between the two of them. The dugout was enveloped with silence until Ara spoke up.

"Ugghh, not another Mika Reyes and Jeron Teng tandem. I have had enough with these arguement scenes!" Ara exclaimed, much to the amusement of the love birds beside her and to Mika and Kiefer's dismay.

"Stop it both of you! The game between La Salle and Adamson is starting a few minutes from now, let's go to our designated seats and support Shoti." Nico butted in the conversation making the two stop from arguing.
