29: Unsung Hero

KIEFER'S POV

Kiefer: Guys, lunch is on me. New endorsement.

I told my teammates the good news of a new endorsement right after Coach Bo ended the practice. It was a exhausting one as the fight to the final four is coming. These guys have been working hard and as the captain, I think they deserve more than just free lunch.

Von: That's the thing about you, Kief. You're really generous.

Von tapped my shoulder as we head to the shower room to freshen up.

Jerie: Napasobra nga sa pagiging generous eh. Kahit sa pag-ibig, generous na din.

Then the team laughed at my expense.

I went to my locker and looked for my phone. Jerie reminded me of someone. He reminded me of the girl of my dreams. My sanity. My love. My only one.

I opened the Twitter app on my phone. My sister, Dani, told me that reading a girl's tweets is like reading her mind. I immediately looked for Sam's account to check her tweets. I think it's creepy to randomly ask her how she is. And stalking's also creepy but nevermind.

Alas!

@samtorregoza: "@disneywords: My heart's about to break. Come and find me. -Pooh"

And she just quoted this tweet three minutes ago. Okay, what's the game plan, Kief?

Think. Think. Think.

I was too occupied by my thoughts when I felt a sudden tap on my shoulder.

Thirdy: Kuya!

Kiefer: What?

Thirdy: I've been calling you since forever. Seems like you're busy with that ah. New chic?

I scoffed at my brother. New chic? Is he kidding me?

Kiefer: No way! What do you want ba?

Thirdy: Itatanong ko lang if Dani's home.

Kiefer: DANI! RIGHT. THANKS, BRO!

I tapped his shoulders and went out of the locker room. I think I just caught my brother off guard for he just stared at me, nodded and watched me run out of the room.

I quickly dialed Dani's number and waited impatiently for her to answer her phone. What's taking her long? Ugh.

After a few more rings, she finally picked up!

Dani: He-

Kiefer: Dani! Can you call Sam and ask where she is?

Dani: Wa-

Kiefer: No questions ask! You owe me one, remember?

Dani: You're such a weirdo!

Kiefer: Yeah, whatever. Just call her and tell me right away, okay?

Dani: Consider it done, kuya!

I ended the call and went back to the room. I placed my phone inside my bag and went to the shower area.

I took a longer shower than the usual. I don't want to stink when I'm with Sam.

As I went out of the shower, the guys are already fixing their stuff. I got my phone out of my bag and saw the text from Dani.

"She's at home. No plans of going out. Stay safe. I love you too."

I sent her my reply and threw my phone inside my bag again. I carried my bag, preparing to leave.
