Before that day ended , Kiwi and I were officially a couple. We did not make any huge announcement regarding our relationship. Pero we did not hide what we feel for each other din naman. Clingy kung clingy. Kung may magtanong. Aamin naman. Kaso wala atang may lakas ng loob. Twas' either it didn't matter to them or they were not ready for our answers.
We spent most of our free time together... which was not that many considering my training schedule (I was captain of AUF Women's Volleyball Varsity Team) and studies ( I was in my final year of high school). Good thing she was not enrolled that time. So kahit papaano nagagawan ng paraan magkita.
Kiwi would visit me during trainings and would most of the time watch my games. I have a few fans during games but she was my number1 fan... at least that is what she claims. Grabe magcheer!

One time, she went with the team to Manila during a friendly match against St. Scholastica's College. Thiss was not the first time for me to play in this school. I remember on my 2nd year, we came here for a practice match. I recieved a lot of gifts, flowers and letters from the students. Dami din nagpapicture. Yung iba ambabata pa. I was really flattered with all the attention. But somehow, it made me uneasy. I was not surprise with how they reacted. Kasi exclussive girl school naman sila. Uso yung magkacrush sa katulad nilang babae. Eh malakas pa naman dating ko. Ang yabang lang, Victornara! Haha! Sana lang di maulit yun today. Ayaw ko atang magselos ang babe ko.
"Ara, mukang may tama sa 'yo yung number 2 ng St. Scho. Panay ang tingin sa 'yo eh", said my teammate Empay.
"Luh! Di naman siguro. Napatingin lang. May tama agad. Saka 'wag kang maingay at marinig ka pa ni Kiwi. Di selosa yan. Pero mas mabuting wag na gumawa ng dahilan para magselos.", I replied.
"In fairness, cute si number 2", butted in by my other teammate ate Beng
I glanced at number 2. I must agree with ate Beng. She is cute--- maputi... flawless... maganda ang mata... sexy... mataas (she must be 6-feet tall or a little close to that)... cute ang teeth... ang ganda ng smile... ampula ng lips parang ang sarap... Argghhh!!! I can't believe I am checking her out. Umayos ka, Ara! You already have a girlfriend. Tsss...
We won the match in 5 sets.I was named POG. It was a close fight. St Scho got set 1 and set 3. We won sets 2, 4 and 5. Kala ko di na matatapos ang 5th set... we ended it with a score 18-20. I must admit, I was very impressed with how number 2 played. She was a very good blocker and was good with her quick hits too. Sumakit kaya balikat ko kakaspike. At ang angas ha. Pasimple magstare down. Pero di naman intimidating. Ang cute nga eh... Heto ma naman tayo. STOP IT ARA!!!!
We shook hands with the opposing team after the buzzer sounded. As our hands touched, I felt some sort of electricity running from my fingert tips to my core. Feeling ko nagtayuan ang balahibo ko sa katawan. Hmmm.... Dunno what it meant. Baka nagkataon lang. Baka pagod lang. Baka I was just too hyper after a good game. Baka bumaba lang blood sugar level ko... medyo gutom na rin kasi. Dami namang BAKA... kambing naman kaya?... OK waley ang joke. Ah ewan. Wala naman siguro ito. Wala ito... sigurado ako.
How sad, I was too concentrated with the match earlier that I did not catch her name. Her jersey however reads "REYES". Hayst!...

"Cutie alert! Papalapit si number2.", whispered ate Beng while we were heading out of the St. Scho gym.
"Congratulations, babe. I am so proud of you." Kiwi hugged me from nowhere.
"Thank you, babe. Ginalingan ko talaga kasi kahiya naman sa number 1 fan ko", I said giving her a quick kiss on the forehead.
"Babe, can we leave already? Nagaalburuto na mga anaconda ko sa tyan kasi. Hehe", paglambing nya.
"Yes. Uhmm.... Ate Beng, Emps, una na kami. Mahirap magutom tong babe ko eh",I chuckled.
From my periphery, I saw Reyes look stunned. She stopped and bowed her head. She made a turn and went the opposite direction.
