7th Entry: The Bet

Thomas’s POV

If you’re wondering how our little stupid bet started.. Lemme tell ya.. So ganito yun..

<<Flashback>>

“hey… you okay?” natatawang tanong ni Jeron. I don’t know kung kanino ako mas ma-inis.. kung dun sa girl or with Jeron. Nakaupo pa rin ako sa damuhan, and I’m still holding my face where that girl just hit me. Grabe she can be a boxer na, anglakas ng suntok nya.. it’s still hurting like hell and I can even taste something metallic inside my mouth…. Blood? Sh*t For sure my bruise ito..

“Yeah.. yeah” I stood up and nagpagpag ng damit..

“Masakit?” I looked at him like he had grown another head… what kind of question is that?

“Is that a trick question?” I asked sarcastically and just rolled my eyes habang pinupunasan yung blood sa lips ko…

“no what I meant is… for a girl she looks like malakas syang sumuntok.. well she is a volleyball player nga pala..”

“She’s a volleyball player? So Lady Spiker sya? So that explains it… ” mas masakit pa than sa basketball na tumama sa face… like make that x10… that’s how solid her punch is…

“Yup.. I think sya yung rookie of the year last last year sa UAAP Season 74 Womens Volleyball..”

“Really? Two years na syang naglalaro?” and this will be her third playing year? Mas nauna pa pala sya sa akin here. Well hindi kasi ako nanunood ng volleyball, ang kilala ko lang doon si ate Abi, Mika, Kim, and some who graduated na. And I know them personally talaga and I just know din na player sila ng volleyball.. other than them.. wala na.

“Yeah.. kasi naman ikaw.. masyadong umikot yung world mo sa girlfriend ahmm I mean ex-girlfriend mo noon.. that’s why you don’t know anything eh”

but she is MY world. I want to tell him but I just kept quiet na lang.. he wouldn’t understand my feelings eh he had never been in a serious relationship in his whole life so he wouldn’t know. Tho he is right.. ngayon na lang ulit ako nakakasama sa kanila since me and my girlfried broke up. Whenever I have a free time kasi I would rather spend it with her.

“Wait.. Do I have to take you to the clinic?” dugtong ni Jeron..

“No thanks” I told him. I’d rather not nga… “Man I can still feel her knuckles on my lips… Wait nasaan na yung dalawa?”

“I think they run after her”

“Those two talaga… you guys should stop what you’re doing na”

“Doing what?” he asked innocently.. well too innocent to be true…

“You know …” I thought of a better term but can’t think of any “ahmm bullying” this guys are such jerks…

“Hey hindi naman yun pangbubully”

“Then ano tawag mo dun?” I asked

“I’d rather call it….” Tumingin sya sa taas and nag-act na parang nag-iisip.. “having fun..”

“Fun? Is that what you call fun?”

“Then what else would you call it?”

“As I said… bullying”

He opened his mouth as if to say something pero hindi nya natuloy kasi we heard AVO called..

“Oh guys.. what happened?” tanong ni Jeron “Nasuntok din ba kayo?” pang-asar nyang tanong
