3:30 pm na nang naisipan namin magpalit ng gym clothes since dala naman namin backpack namin.

On our way to the gym, I saw my best friend from a far na parang balisang kumakaway sakin. Mejo malamabo naman mata ko so di ko na masyado pinansin.

Training started with introductions. Tuwang tuwa si Pen kasi wala sa team ang roommate nya, may chance pa daw na maganda at hindi tigasin.

2 hours practice ended and we headed out to the dorm.

Nauna ang room 5 kaya nagpaalam na to para pumasok.

Naglakad na ko papuntang room 8 at nakasalubong ko agad ang Captain ng volleyball team na si Jessica.

"Hi Deanna, gotta go. Team dinner kami." Di na ko nakapagsalita kasi tumakbo na ito palabas.

I was holding my luggage naman ng kumatok sa room. Walang sumagot. I knocked again and wala parin sumagot.

So I decided to use my key na lang. Pagapsok ko, wala ngang tao.  There are two beds on each side of the wall. In between is are two mini tables, yung isa sa side ng roommate ko may frame na walang laman. Yung sa side ko naman obviously walang nakalagay.

Sa baba naman ng beds may dalawang study tables on each side. Tig isa kami ulit. Yung sa kanya may books, laptop and papers na nagkalat. In short ang gulo ng table nya. Mine was empty again.

I was busy unpacking my things ng biglang pumasok si Pen.

"Dude ganda ng roommate ko!!! Swerte!!! Teammates sila ni Trish. Yung sayo ba? Ay si madame Kap nga pala." Sabi nito habang humiga sa kama ko. "Anyway, I came here to ask kung gusto mo sumabay kumain. Tara na." Di pa ko sumasagot pero hila hila nya ko palabas.

We ate our food sa cafeteria. Derecho naman ako room kagad after kasi di pa ko nag shower.

I finished unpacking naman muna then grabbed some clothes to shower. I was humming to some song happily when I heard the door open. Ah andyan na si Jessica.

I dried my body and hair a little. Put on my black sports bra, underwear and a pair of comfortable sweat shorts.

I was all smiles opening the door to greet Jessica ng biglang napako ako sa kinatatayuan ko. I felt light headed na para akong natuyuan ng dugo. What the fuck is happening?!

"Hi...." Sabi nya obviously waiting for me to introduce myself. Right there and then, nahimatay na ko. All I heard were screaming palapit sakin.

Nagising na lang ako na nasa infirmary at nandoon din si Trish hawak ang kamay ko habang natutulog sa upuan. Napangiti ako kasi as always andyan sya for me.

Bigla akong nanlamig sa naalala ko. Ginising ko si Trish, "Trish, you can't believe who I'm rooming with..."

She smiled with sad eyes. Guilt evident on her face. "I know. Si Queen."

"You knew?! Bakit di mo sinabi sakin agad na dito sya nag aaral. Bakit di mo rin sinabi kanina na Jessica pala ang name nya? Akala ko ba Queen????!!!" Pasigaw ko sa kanya.

"Sorry di ko sinabing andito sya. We both wanted to be here. Alam kong andito sya pero I thought, sa tagal na nung nangyari nakalimutan mo na. Tska Queen ang tawag sa kanya ng marami kasi monicker nya yun, hindi dahil Queen ang name nya. Kala ko Jessica, as in captain Jessica ang roommate mo. Di ko inexpect na Jessica Margarett Galanza pala. I'm so sorry."

I saw the sincerity in her words kaya mejo kumalma ako. "Okay. Baka naman pedeng palitan yung room ko. Sana pede."

"Sige subukan natin kausapin sila Kap." Sagot nya.
