He's In love With A Tomboy

Chapter 36

Lex's PoV

"I know that your all nervous about the upcoming game. Through the previous years we haven't even take the trophy with us. Ever. But this year, I have the feeling that we will. We just need to help each other and teamwork is the key..."

"For us to win."

Captain Madell was standing in front of us while we sit on the gyms floor. Her hands on her hips.

"For Decas!"

"For Decas!!!" My teammates shouted in unison raising their fist in the air while I watch in the sideline. Not that I don't care but it takes a lot of energy for me. They were too... energetic.

Captain clap her hands signaling us to go to our respective teams. Me, being the captain shows no interest at all. What kind of captain am I? Geez Lex, be galvanize sometimes.

Ang Basketball girls contains 15 members, including me. Kaya ang natitirang lima ay substitute player.

Lumapit kami kay Coach Ellize. Hawak nya ang bola sa kanyang kamay at nasa labi ang pito. To start the game we need to Jump Ball, it is a method of putting a basketball into play by tossing it into the air between two opponents who jump and attempt to tap the ball to a teammate.

(A/N: I have to thank Merriam Dictionary for that. 😂😂😂)

Nang pumito si Coach ay kasabay nun ang paghagis nya ng bola sa ere. Captain and I both jump to reach it, and since she's taller than me. She slapped it causing the ball to go to her other other member.

Wow, ang ganda ng simula ng game.

Third person

Naglakad lang si Lex habang pumupunta sa side ng kabilang kupunan. Habang ang kasamahan nya ay hinabol ang bola. Nakuha naman ito ng teammate nya at ipinasa nya ito, pero hindi maipagkakaila na mabibilis ang nasa kabilang kupunan kaya muli itong nakuha. Tired, Lex just stand there watching their opponents how to play. Lahat ng galaw ng kabilang kupunan, bawat talbog ng bola, bawat pasa, bawat hulog ng bola sa ring ay pinapanuod lang nya. She didn't bother moving any muscle.

Natapos na ang first quarter ng laro nagpapahinga ang kasama nya sa bench. Sya lang ang nakatayo sa harap ng team habang nakahalukipkip sa dibdib ang kanyang mga braso at nakatingin sa kabilang kupunan. Naipikit ni Lex ang kanyang mga mata at tiningnan ang kanyang grupo. Hingal na hingal ang mga ito. Lex made a hand gesture to a substitute player. Lumapit isa sa kanila.

"I want you to take my place." Sabi Lex na walang pag aalinlangan. May tumayong player sa bench at itinulak ang kaliwang balikat ni Lex. "Anong palitan ka?! Wala ka ngang ginawa sa loob court bagos papapalit ka?! Nihindi ka nga napagod eh! Pinagloloko mo ba ako?! Anong klaseng captain ka?! Sa bagay, wala ka naman ginagawa eh. Dapat lang talaga na paltan ka." Nanlilisik pa rin ang tingin nito sa kanya. Pero parang wala lang itong pakielam at tumingin sa player na papalit sa kanya.
