Our favorite place (Book 1 and 2)

Thirty-One

The following day, we are set to face Vietnam for Battle for Third.

We were on the dug out, good thing is that we aren't asked to loose the game. So at least we have a shot on the bronze.

"AVENGERS!!!" Bea shouted on the door. Our team mates looked at her in shock. "Uhm, sorry, still can't get over to the fact that Cap lifted the hammer."

"Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God." Bea said as she was rushing towards us.

"What?" Ate Ly asked.

"I.."

"What?!" Ate Den asked.

"I uh.."

"Ano?!" Tots asked.

"Ano.. He.."

"He?" Ced asked.

"He.. uh.."

"Who?!" Maddie asked.

"Jon.."

"What about?" Deanna asked.

"I heard Jon Snow.."

"What did you heard?" I asked.

She looked at the monitor and the game before us is already finished. "Maya na lang kaya, palabas na tayo ng court."

"BEA!!!" We shouted at her.

Jia stood up and kissed Bea's cheeks, and the latter smiled and sighed deeply. "So, what did you heard, Hon?" Jia slapped her face slightly before sitting back again.

"I heard Jon Snow talking with to a girl, regarding a thing that they badly want."

"What thing?" I asked.

"Deanna's island."

Deanna and I looked at each other.

We were angry and frustrated at Jon Snow that we think of his face attached to the ball. So whenever Jia set it to us, we slap the hell out of the ball.

After the game, in which we dominated, we assembled again this time at Bea's condo.

"Deanna's island." Bea said.

"Why involve me?!" Ate Ly asked.

"Because he knows Deanna isn't first six, but you are." Ate Den said. "And who do you think can carry the team? You Ly. Of all the people in this room, you are most likely to carry us. So he approached you instead of Deanna."

"What does he want with my island?" Deanna asked.

"There is one way to find out. We confront him." I said.

"No that's dangerous. We won't confront him." Ced rebutted.

"You're right. We won't. I will." I declared.

"Whoa."
"No."
"Are you kidding me?!"

"Look, how many games do we need to throw until we find out?! In months we will reopen the conference. We don't know what he will do about that." I faced Deanna. "That island is your life. Not just yours life, those kids life, those cancer patients. What will happen to them if they successfully get your island? Huh?!"

"Jema, stop. You're wrong. You are my life now. We can think about the patients, the kids afterwards, maybe have Bea donate money for building another hospital here in Manila."

"Come again for Big Fudge?" Bea asked like she misheard what Deanna said.

And we ignored her. "But now, I can't afford to loose you and the island. You said it yourself, we have to be careful, not stupid."
