East

Chapter 16

I roamed my eyes around my surroundings. Hindi ko in-expect na gan'to karami ang manonood ngayong araw. The pressure around us is spiking up.

I am amazed how the players have manage to pull these audience. Half of it are Fiona's supporter, no doubt because we're here in our hometown right now. I could also hear Ahiera's supporter cheering.

Speaking of Ahiera, we haven't seen each other for awhile now since she is busy for this event.

I just miss her.

She phoned me last night and told me to watch her game live on the television at magbabato daw siya ng mga questions para i-make sure na nanood daw ako, how childish.

Nakakuha kami ng magandang pwesto sa baba, makikita namin ang mga players ng malapitan samay finish line. But I'm walking around right now trying to find Shiro, sabi niya bibili lang siya pero wala naman siya sa mga food stalls so umakyat ako sa bleachers to find him.

I heard screams from my left side, akala ko may nakita silang player—"Luisia! Hi!" Lui looked up and waved back reciprocating the same enthusiasm towards her fans. She love showing her charms in this campus, everyone loves her, syempre kasama niya si Fiona do'n jeez they pull so much attention. Gamit namin ang field nila for nationals this year because obviously only North could host a big event like this.

Napailing nalang ako, I quickly turned right before they spot me here standing, but to my surprise someone is behind me and we collided abruptly, it happen so fast my mind stopped, the horror on her face made the group of people here laugh hysterically, I pulled my cap down as I felt myself flushed, our collision might caused her grande sized frappe to go to waste, poor drink, good thing her reflexes was good kasi kung hindi parehas kaming natapunan.

Those brats continued being entertained with the sight of us, their comments made me realize they know the girl I bumped myself with. Grabe sila makatawa, ha, parang ngayon lang nakakita ng natapon na frappe. May nakakainis sa tawa nila na hindi ko matukoy.

I took a glance at her face, biting my bottom lip.

"I'm sorry," I mumbled before walking pass her. Hindi pa siya nakaka-recover mula sa pagkakabangga namin. She's cute. Lalong tumawa ang mga nakakita sa'min, what the fuck is wrong with them? It was an accident. Why are they laughing?

I hurriedly report the spilled frapped at the bleachers before it could hold people up. Baka tapak-tapakan lang din.

Deretcho ako sa food stalls. Hoping to spot Shiro there and to buy venti sized frappe just the same frappe the girl ordered but bigger. I owe her one, kasalanan ko kaya kami nagka-banggaan, I know when to admit my fault you know. Palitan ko nalang.

Kung sinuswerte ka nga naman.

I saw Shiro standing in the line kung saang stall ako mag-oorder nandoon siya kaya tumayo ako samay gilid niya crossing my arms with furrowed brows. I can't believe he disobeyed me. Hindi niya pa ako napapansin dahil busy siya pumili ng bibilhin. I grabbed the back of his shirt before he could walk to the counter, it was his turn but I don't care. I'm pissed so I stole his spot and leaned at the counter where the cashier shoots me a judgemental look but still punched my order and gave me a stab, the people behind Shiro growl in annoyance, well, I'm annoyed with my brother and sometimes I could be rude too.

Nakakainis naman kasi, ang laki ng field na 'to tapos ang daming tao tapos kung saan saan magpupunta, nakasimangot ko tuloy siyang tinignan shooting death glares at his face.

"Ate naman dapat sinabay mo na yung 'akin," he said standing behind me as the guy prepare our orders.

Napalingon sa'min ang cashier bago niya harapin ang next customer. Parang hindi bukal sa loob niya ang pagbentahan ako. Wow attitude rin.
