And Then He Cheated

8

Dianne and Rosie bombarded me with a lot of questions as soon as I stepped out of the faculty. They even doubted my answers because of the way I breathe,they say. We just get ourselves with snacks before going to the court. Derrek jogged towards us when he saw us entering the gym. He's so wet with his own sweats and we can't stop complaining though he still smells good.

"Eww Derrek! You're stinky!" itinulak ni Dianne si Derrek papalayo sakanya.

Derrek smirked,"Ang arte nito! Kay Aviane nalang ako yayakap" nanlaki yung mga mata ko at dali daling lumayo sakanya.

"Huh! Don't you dare!" dinuro ko siya. He frowned and put his both hands in his waist.

"Tsk, wala talaga kayong libre sakin sa intrams" inirapan niya kami.

"Ito naman hindi mabiro, lika nga dito give me a hug" I opened my arms for him. He chuckled before walking towards me.

Nung sa wakas ay nasa harap ko na siya ay agad na niya akong yinakap ng mahigpit. I saw how Dianne's face crampled because of disgust. I widened my eyes on her.

"Ang bango mo kahit may pawis ka. Kainis!" ginulo niya yung buhok ko.

"Bolera, gusto mo lang ng libre e!" I pouted. That was half true.

"Si Aviane lang ang may libre sakin no?" pinag taasan niya ng kilay sila Dianne at Rosie. Both of them gulped and walked towards Derrek slowly.

Nung hindi na nakapaghintay si Derrek ay siya na mismo ang lumapit at humila sakanilang dalawa para mayakap. I saw how Dianne hold her breath. Tawa lang ako ng tawa habang pinagmamasdan silang tatlo. I can't with Dianne's reaction!

"Dun kayo sa tabi ng bags namin.." he leaded our way. Loud voices surrounded us. Hindi lang dahil sa boses ng mga babaeng nagpapa cute sa team namin pero pati na din sa boses ng mismong team namin.

They're so loud and immediately keep quiet when they saw us approaching their place. I even saw how this one guy elbowed the other and whispered something like 'crush mo'?

"Hi Dianne!" one guy waved his hand on my friend. Dianne smirked and greeted back.

"Si Aviane parang hindi naman broken, ganda pa din e" Vergara appeared in front of us. Siya yung isang team mate ni Derrek na nasa third year na crush daw ako. Hindi naman ako naniniwala kasi babaero ito.

"Hoy Vergara! Watch your words" paalala ni Derrek sakanya.

"No it's okay.. and for your information po I'm not broken I'm actually contented with what I have now" I smiled at him brightly just to show him that I'm fine.

"Sorry Aviane ah? I should have choose the right words to say" nagkamot siya ng batok. Kinantyawan siya ng mga kasamahan niya.

"Sus! Mga damoves ni Vergara e! Wag ka maniwala diyan Aviane, babaero yan!" they laughed pati ako ay natawa din.

"Gago! Panira" tugon niya sa kasama.

"Don't worry wala na akong panahong magpaloko"

Napa woah silang lahat sa sinabi ko na tinawanan ko lang. Di kalaunan nama'y tinawag na din sila ng coach nila. They started practicing while we watch and cheer for them. Naenganyo kaming manood kaya hindi ko namalayang kanina pa pala nagba vibrate yung phone ko. Hinugot ko sa bulsa ko yung phone ko habang hindi pa din inaalis sa court yung mga tingin ko. I pressed my thumb to unlock my phone. Nakatanggap ako ng limang message galing sa isang unregistered number.
