"Ahrg!"

"Jema?!" Ced ran towards Jema and check her.

"Cramps." She said in a hurtful voice.

"B. Anong nangyari?" Deanna was behind Ced so Ced gave way so the latter can check on her. Deanna reached for her feet and push it upwards, so the cramps will be lessen.

The fear, worry and concern written all over her face.

"Shit." Jema said, now she was laying and her arms on her eyes.

"Anong nangyari?" The other coaching staffs asked worryingly.

"Cramps po." Ced said.

Ly asked Kyla to get a hot compress and the latter obliged.

"Did you stretched before swimming?" Deanna asked her while she massages the muscle to relax. Jema sat up and shook her head no.

Kyla was back and handed Deanna the compress. "Thanks Ky." Jema said.

After 5 minutes. The cramps lessen and Jema was able to stand up. "Okay let's do the consequence."

"Je.. Margarett, it's okay na."

"No, Izabella, your team won, and I'm a fair player. Let's go."

They did the consequence and head back to their accommodations. Good thing is Jema can walk by herself but she can still feel slight pain.

She went immediately to shower and lay on her bed to take a nap. "Shit." She cussed as she remembered that she just lost to Deanna.

"How's your leg?" Jia asked Jema.

"It's all okay na."

"You can train tomorrow?"

"Yes."

"You realize that Deanna has been staring at you since we got here? And Fhen is the same?"

"Yes, and yes."

"I can see the horror and concern on Deanna's face when she saw you kanina."

"It's normal, we are friends."

"Friends?!"

"Yes friends."

"That's so cliche." Jia laughed.

"No!!" Jia exclaimed.

"Wow! Defend na defend. Di man lang pinagisipan? Girlfriend, maybe even a wife. I dunno." She tapped her feet on the bench.

"Oh my God. Sorry." Deanna wiped off the beer that was on the shoulders of the girl that she just spilled at.

"Hey, you're.. Deanna Wong?!"

"Yeaaa..?"

"Oh, my God. I'm a huge fan. Jade. Jade Cruz. Kasama mo ba sila Bea?!" She looked at Deanna's shoulder.

"Ahh, actually I live here na. Well not permanently. I just went out for a drink as I have a long day. Nice to finally meet a Filipina here. Can I join you?" She nodded and Deanna took the sit beside her. Jade wiped a tear that was on her cheek, causing Deanna to panic. "Whooa. Did I say something wrong?"
