-------------AFTER LUNCH----------------
“Oh, Ashley? What sport you want?”–megan- hmm, badminton? Volleyball?
“badminton” –me-
“Ok, see yah soon. Take care”–megan-
I was once a badminton player when I was in Grade 8 but when I reached high school, my sport changed … instead of badminton,,, it changed to volleyball … now I chose badminton cause I want to forget the memories’ in that sport … I changed my sport because of Kevin … Basketball player + Volleyball player = isn’t it sweet?? But damn! It’s all now gone …
Walking papunta sa badminton court … OP ,, OP ,, OP [Out of Place] ako …
Hmm,, matagal-tagal na rin ako hindi nakapag laro ng badminton ee… siguro nakalimutan ko na mga techniques and baka hindi na ako maka tira ng shuttle cock … kahiya naman … nakatayo lang ako tinitingnan ang mga naglalaro … they’re all good … awesome performance … kaya back to my way … volleyball nalang kukunin ko … so what? Makakalimutan ko rin yun cause I’m not in States now …
Naglakad-lakad ako hanggang nakita ko sila... naupo lang ako sa gilid,, pinagmamasdan sila. Nakita ako nila Megan at Sophie. And they walked towards me …
“Ashley? Why are you here? I thought you chose badminton”–megan-
“I don’t have any friends there. So I decided to change sport instead of badminton, it would be volleyball”–me-
“Spiker?”–sophie-
“Yes”–me-
“Wow. Come on, you need to change your attire.”–sophie-
