"Coach... bawal na po ba talaga?"
Coach sighed again as she took her glasses off and looked at me. She was writing something on her pad but stopped because of me. Naka-ekis ang kilay niya, halatang malapit nang mapikon dahil kanina ko pa siya iniistorbo.
"Pinili kita 'di dahil gusto kong pagtawanan ka nila kundi alam kong may potential ka." I had to stop myself from rolling my eyes. "Atsaka ba't ka kinakabahan? Diba sabi ko naman sayo na pipili pa ako sa inyong tatlo? How can you be sure that I'll choose you?"
Natigilan ako nang sabihin niya iyon at napaiwas ng tingin. Hindi naman sa sigurado akong ako nga ang pipiliin. It's about being one of the chosen three. Thinking about it just makes me wanna back out already.
Dalawang araw na lang.
"Coach, thank you if you think that I have a potential—"
"And I chose you to help you see it for yourself."
Umiling siya nang makitang hindi pa rin ako kumikibo pagkatapos ay napabuntong-hininga. Bigla ay sabay kaming napalingon sa pinto nang bumukas ito at nakita si Yael na kakapasok pa lang. His eyes went into mine; confused was written on his face as he slowly closed the door, but I immediately looked away.
"Uh, babalik na lang po ako, Coach." He said and was about to open the door when Coach called him.
"No, it's okay, Yael."
Kinamot ni Yael ang ulo niya bago naglakad papalapit sa amin. I bit my lower lip when he stood beside me, feeling a little awkward because he might have heard the conversation— or not. Ngayon ko lang din ulit siyang nakita simula nung nagkita kami sa simbahan.
Bumaling ang tingin ni Coach sa akin at nagbago kaagad ang tingin niya. It wasn't mad, nor was a disappointed look. It was more of a... hopeful look.
Please, don't give me that look.
"My decision is final, Quinn." It was full of authority.
Wala na akong nagawa kundi dahan-dahan na tumango at pilit na ngumiti. Humingi rin ako ng pasensya dahil sa pag-iistorbo ko sa kanya at pagkatapos ay nagpaalam. Tumalikod ako at sumulyap kay Yael. I could sense that Yael was really confused, but he kept his mouth shut. Nakakunot ang noo nito sabay sulyap din sa akin na siyang ikinaiwas ko ng tingin.
I never wanted this to be a big deal. I know Coach only wanted what's best for me, and I know I'm letting the opportunity slip away. People might think that I'm overreacting for making a fuss over this thing, and maybe... maybe I am.
Kalma ka lang, Quinn. Hindi ka pipiliin ni Coach.
"Coach..." I heard Yael called.
Umiling na lang ako at nagbuntong-hininga bago naglakad palapit sa pinto. I was already at the door, hand on the doorknob, when Coach said something.
