Never shall we sink

CHAPTER 8: ONE BIG FIGHT

Baaaah! POOOOOONGGGGGGAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYY!

HAHAHAHAHA. May papikit pikit ka pang nalalaman! HAHAHAHA. Pasalamat ka maganda yang kotse mo. Haha.

Papansin ka talaga. Tara na. I got my gym bag sa passenger seat.

At the distant I saw Maddie waving at me.

That's Maddie. Com'on. I said to Ponggay. Mga naka 5 steps na kami, sinuntok ko yung braso nya. Belat. :P Humarap ako sakanya at tumakbo patalikod. Pag harap ko may nabangga akong babae, natumba kami at napahiga ako sa ibabaw nya. Tumayo ako agad.

Oh my God. I'm sorry. Hindi ko sinasadya.

Tinulungan ko syang kuhain yung nahulog na bag nya. Gym bag den. Kulay yellow. Tapos pag tingin ko sa zipper, may keychain. Volleyball. Familiar. Tapos inikot ko. Nakita ko may "Bea" na nakalagay. Teka 'bat nasayo t....

Pinulot nya yung bimpo nya at napansin ko yung burda sa may sulok. Jhoana. I slowly looked at her. She was already staring at me. Na parang nakakita sya ng multo.

Okay lang ba kayo? Ponggay came running. Then came Maddie.

I was also dumbfounded and still staring at her. I realized na parang may tumutulong luha sa mata ko. Not because I was hurt or something. Instead, I was so happy to see her. Jhoana, your here. In front of me. Breathing and alive and kicking and even going to try out sa volleyball. You continued playing.

Are you okay Bea? Maddie stood between us and check me for any wound and starting to wipe my tears. Why are you crying?

Girls, were about to start na pasok na kayo. Alyssa Valdez, team captain shouted to us.

Pag tingin ko, wala na sya sa likod ni Madds, naglalakad na sya papasok.

Pumasok na kami and then nandun na sila lahat, our seniors. I looked at Jhoana. She was staring at me pero nung nahuli nya ako umiwas sya ng tingin.

Hey, you're here. Ate Aly snapped me out of thoughts.

Uhm yea. Haha. Hey, you still remember me. Its an honor.

Hahaha. I think I'm just good at remembering faces. Hahaha. Okay applicants, start your stretching. Find a partner.

Maddie came to me. Let's go partner? I looked at Ponggay she's with Deanna na pala, Jia and Mich are together na den. I looked at Jhoana, she's talking to someone. I squinted to look at her surname. Gequillana. Hmm. I just shrugged it. Focus. Mamaya na yan makakausap mo na sya mamaya.

Okay partner. I said and started to strech with her.

The try outs went great, feeling ko makukuha naman kaming lahat. Ate Ly gathered us sa gilid ng court.

So tomorrow ipopost namin yung mga nakapasa. She said while standing in front of us.

Sa mga makakapasa. Alam nyo naman na open yung dorm for you. Madami pa naman rooms and sharing naman. Kasabay ng mga nakapasa ipagpapares pares namin kayo sa rooms nyo. Ate Den followed.

So see you tomorrow and good luck girls. Ate Amy added. Ells. You're eating again.

Ghutom nha ako kashe. Speaking na may laman yung bibig na chips. Then we laughed.

Okay, tomorrow we see ha, coming to the team. Thank you! Coach Tai said.

After taking a shower, I fixed my things and shifted my focus on talking to Jhoana.
