After a week of break from school, balik na naman sa kalbaryo. School is not that bad except for terror teachers which doesn't really exist sa school. Naging kalbaryo ang school para sa'kin dahil sa subjects na meron ako, ang hirap na kasi pero ano pa ba i-expect ko eh Senior na ako.

"BJ!" I heard someone calling from the back, paglingon ko ay nakita ko ang maamung mukha ni Kobe. I smiled at him while he walks near to me.

"Uy, kamusta?"

"Okay naman, ikaw ba?"

Tinaasan ko siya ng kilay tapos sumagot, "Okay din." Napaisip tuloy ako, it's either kailangan niya ng tulong ko or bi-bwesitin niya na naman ako. Hindi siya sumagot kaya inunahan ko na siya. "What do you want?"

"Ikaw dapat ang nagtatanong niyan hindi ako, I know you need something." he smirked then I raised my brow at him. I have no clue what he is talking about. At the moment, hindi ko naman siya kailangan maybe next time. Maybe next time? Hahahah

"I don't need help naman eh, baka ikaw."

He groaned then finally, he spilled the beans. "I'm going to help you about Donny, dahil he is torpe or manhid or whatsoever you call it para mapaamin ang mokong na yun." Here we go again. I let out a sigh then walk away.

"Wait! BJ let me help you!"

I stopped from my tracks then looked at him, "Actually, I'm fine being friends with him. At least, hindi naman masisira friendship namin kaysa I'll take the risk. Hindi pwede noh! Baka magsisi pa ako." I explained. Medyo malayo na rin ako kaya he walked closer to me again para kami lang makarinig.

"There's nothing wrong with trying, diba? You will know if we at least try." he said, do I really want to do this? I personally wanted to know, pero hindi ko alam if tama ba tong gagawin namin. Ayoko kasing lokohin si Donny, ayoko talaga.

"Bahala ka sa buhay mo, when I said no I mean it." I slow my voice down just enough for him to hear me dahil medyo marami ng tao sa hallway. Hindi ko na siya hinintay makapagsalita at umalis na baka ma-late pa ako. Princesa pa naman ako ng tardiness.

Hours passed by so slow, slow naman para maiba hahaha. I'm so distracted dahil we have a game today kalaban ang British School Manila which will be held dito sa school, friendly game lang naman kaya okay lang pero I always get excited pag may game lalo na't may mga kaibigan rin ako sa BSM. Well, most of the schools na makalaban namin ay may friends talaga ako. Friendly si ate niyo hahaha.

"Class dismissed."

Una akong tumayo dahil gusto ko na talagang maglaro, nung break namin from school, pumupunta ako sa school dahil training. By the way, balik training na pala si ate niyo. Yes, I'm really back. After I stopped drinking liquor, I went back to working out then yun balik training na rin kaya my coach allowed me to play sa friendly game today.

"Hey, girl!" Claudia exclaimed then I greeted her back. Naghand-shake rin kami ni Paolo.

"Manunuod kayo?"

"Of course! We can't miss a game especially that you're going to play again."

"By the way, your girl is flying to Vietnam for APAC!!!" I announced then both of them got really excited. Hinug ako ni Claudia at Paolo.

"Congrats girl!"

"Ayos, we're all going to Vietnam!"

Lahat ng nasa barkada kasi ay athletes, most of the guys are basketball players, meron ring nag-track and field, may nag-rugby din tapos football.
