Azuncion Series #1: Start of Something Surreal

Chapter 7

It has been weeks since that locker happening. Lagi niya akong hinahatid sundo sa school. He ask for my number and I gave it to him.

It is the time for our Intramurals. And everyone is busy including our teacher and us also. Students are busy signing up for the sports that they want to join.

Jaze is also busy because she's one of the student council. The student council is the busiest in this Intramurals.

I am here in the field in one of the benches watching the football players practice for their upcoming game. Other players are also busy practicing.

I didn't join any sports because I was never an athlete my whole life. I am not good at any sports.

I heard that Javier was transferred to B-1 (A, B, and C is like the colloge of the University. They have their course and they are most likely second year college that means Javier 4 years older than me. But why was he in my classroom in the first day?) I don't know why it happened, I just heard from the girls walking pass by me. Maybe that's what he mean when he said that I'm younger than him.

He always text to ask where I am. Hindi ko alam kung anong status namin but people are already making an issue about us. Anywhere I go inside the campus, the girls always look at me, suspectively. And when I walk out of his car, the girls look at me like they're ready to kill me.

*beep*
Jav: where are you?

--football field

I answered back.

Jav: come here at the basketball gym

---okay

I arranged my things and put it in my bag. I was ready to go when I bumped into someone. "Sorry..sorry" I squat to get my things and bag. My assignment papers dropped and they spread everywhere.

I picked them up and looked at him. "It's fine."

I finished picking up my books when he hand me the others.

"Sorry ha. And thank you" I got it from him. " I'm Zei" I offered him my hand. He accept it. "Kyle"

"Thanks, Kyle. Nice to meet you."

"Do you happen to know where's the gym?" he asked.

"Oo papunta na rin ako dun. Gusto mong sumabay?"

"Yeah sure"

We walked together to the gym.

"Bago ka dito?" I asked him to lessen the awkwardness.

" Yes. I'm in class 11-2"

"What a coincidence. Classmate pala tayo."

"Really? It's good that I already know someone"

We entered the gym together and he doesn't talk much. Hindi ako matopic na tao kaya medyo naging awkward. Pero okay naman siyang kasama. He looks like a good person. "Nandito na tayo." I informed him.

"Thank you ha. See you, Zei." he walks the other way and I'm on my ways to the bench kung nasaan si Javier but he's already looking at me.

I walked up to him. "Who's that?"

"Umm bago siya naming classmate, nagpaturo lang kung saan ang gym." He's always making me nervous by the way he looks at me. He didn't answer. He just made me sit in their bench. His teammates greeted me and I just smiled at them. His two cousins were also playing.

"Stay there" he ordered me.

I didn't mention that Javier is a varsity in basketball. He's the team captain and he looks so good in his uniform. Azuncion J. #9
