*time flies*
Where are they? They said we would be meeting up inside.
I lightly pulled her shirt, "Mom? When are Selka and Halvey coming?"
"Your cousins will be here in a minute. Now, participate on the mass." she whispered, answering my question. I turned my head back to the front and to my surprise, I spotted them.
I gestured my hand to come over and it seemed like they noticed. "Hey! Why are you guys late?" I shout-whispered. "Traffic." they both answered in unison and we all sat down and participated.
"Are you going to watch your brother's basketball game later?" Selka asked while fiddling around with her shirt. "yeah, and you guys are coming with me right?" They both looked up and nodded. "I'm going to attend just because I need a new crush. A handsome one." Halvey jokingly said.

A couple of minutes have passed and now the mass is done. We all headed back in the car and mom drove us home to eat breakfast before going to the basketball game.
"Hey hey hey! Your MVP is here!" Ace cheered, entering the door. "Why are you wearing a jersey? You're not even going to play." Selka asked our other cousin and he sat down with a smirk in his face. "Oh lovely cousins, You. are. wrong." we all scoffed.
"You haven't even participated in any ball game before. How are you going to pla—" Selka didn't finish because of Ace's big hush causing to interrupt her. "I've been taking trainings since last month and I'm going to ACE that game." he defended while his finger was still infront of Selka's mouth, hushing her. "ok ok, remove this now." she mumbled.
We all finished eating our breakfast and started to tidy ourselves up. "Kids! Go inside the car now, We might be late for the game." We all obeyed as my mother commanded.
"Hey window seat!"
"Aww~ I don't want to sit in the back!"
"The aircon in here is still hot."
We whined and got in the car. The drive there was pretty short since Ace and my brother will be playing in our school, which is just 5 minutes away from our house. We then entered, got our names written in the log book and signing in our RFID's.
There is a cold breeze vibe in our school since it is covered in large trees in between a sidewalk. We walked ourselves through and headed to the gymnasium. My brother's game already started when we got there, it was already the 2nd game. We cheered everytime he has the ball and unfortunately they lost. I mean Salvia University was so good! But my brother's team could've been better.
As they finished, I saw Ace and his other teammates began to warm up for their game. "I'll pay you 15 won if Ace can't make it til' 3rd quarter." Halvey stated and handed out 15 won. "Mine's 50 if his teammates doesn't let him have the ball." Selka joined. "Fine, mine's 10 won if Halvey finds someone handsome within 1 minute in the game." We all made a bet to make the playoffs interesting.
*buzzer sounds*
"it's starting! it's starting!"
"Go number 18!"
"This is boring."
