Chapter 1

Five counts

Hini-hingal akong nag jo-jog sa loob ng campus namin para sa warm up ng P. E. Maliit lang yung campus namin pero three rounds daw sabi ng teacher.

"bilisan nyu kong napapagod na kayo!"sigaw ni teacher Mark. His a P.E teacher, he's also a coach sa glee club.

"tss! Kung ikaw kaya tumakbo dito ng three rounds?!" sarkastikong sabi ni Sadie.

"Pagod nga diba?!" giit din ni jade.

Napanguso ako sa sinabi ng Kaibigan. Were friends. Kahit saan kami ilagay magkasama parin kami. Binalingan ko si Agnes na parang hindi naman napagod.

"Agnes, okay kalang?" tanong ko ng mapantayan ko na ang takbo nya.

She's too fast, nag-alala ko baka may problema. Pero bigla akong natakot ng makitang kong may ngiti sa labi nya.

"Kahit galit si Teacher Mark, ang gwapo parin nya!" ngumiwi ako na rinig sa kaibigan.

Back when were 1st year, naalala ko kong paano nagkadarapa sya kakahabol kay Teacher Mark. Sadyang nagpapahuli para hintayin. But instead he'll wait. Lumabas eto iniwan si Agnes na sumusulat sa papel. I admit, teacher Mark was kinda handsome. Kahit senior girls napapahanga nya rin kahit galit.

But not as Easton. Kung si Teacher Mark galit pero ngumingiti rin eto minsan. Di rin katulad ni Easton na hindi makangiti kahit may joke man o wala.

Binilisan ko ng takbo ko para ma iwasan sya. If i will keep her side, lagi nya namang ito-topic si Teacher Mark. Binalingan ko sa ilalim ng kahoy sina Naya at Hope. Pareho silang mahina. Naya has an asthma , while Hope has a heart disease, it's not that mild. Pero minsan natatakot kami.

It is a long day. Wala kami masyadong magawa kundi mag concentrate sa lesson namin. Wala rin masyadong ginawa kundi mag kwentohan pag vacant.

Kumain kami pag break time. Medyo maingay kaya kami pinalinis ng canteen.

"Claudio yung basurahan!"sigaw ni Agnes sa Iritation.

I know Agnes hate cleaning. Nasanay siguro sa mga housemaid sa bahay. She's rich. Her mother and father has company in korea. And sometimes once a week nalang makauwi ang parents nya. She's Spoiled!

We took an hour to clean the canteen. Kung hindi lang sana sila nag sisihan edi kanina pa kami na tapos.

"Yami!" tawag ni Gracie sakin.

Lahat sila pumunta sa gym. May laro daw. I stayed in our class room para mag pahinga.

"why?" i asked with curiosity.

"Damn, you young lady. Hindi mo alam?"

"bakit ko ba malalaman eh hindi ko nga alam"

She groaned in frustration. I really don't know what is happening. Bigla nya akong hinatak palabas sa classroom.

"Gracie?!where are you taking me?!"

"Oh god yami! Naglalaro ngayon si Easton one on one sila ni Teacher Mark!"

What!?

Inagaw ko ang kamay ko sa kanya at tumakbo patungo ng gym. I heard her cursed for what i've did.Dali-dali akong pumasok sa gym.

I saw how intense their game is. Their jaw clenched everytime isa sa kanila maka agaw ng bola.

Lumapit ako sa isang table. I saw a blue towel with an energy drink. Mas lalong lumaki ang mata ko ng may naka sulat sa energy drink 'Thompson'

Napako ko sa kinatatayuan ko. I had no idea that this things are his. Gusto ko mang umatras. Ngunit bigla bumilis ang tibok ng puso ko ng makitang tumatakbo sya patungo sa'kin.

I know that his not running for me. Because his thing is in front of me.

"S-Sorry, h-hindi ko sinadyang t-tumayo sa table mo,"i can't get my eyes on him "w-wala na kasing u-puan sa bleachers" fuck! Bat ba kasi hindi ka nalang mag siksikan don?!

Damn it, yami!

"it's okay, you can sit here" malamig nyang sabi 'saka nilahad ang isang plastic chair.

I've been standing for a minute tapos di ko parin nyan nakita?fuck!

Kinuha nya ang enegry drink nya at nilagok iyon. I can sense his thirsty, kunti nalang ang natira sa kanya. I still have a game. I'm concerned though, baka wala na syang inumin mamaya.

"U-Uhmm... I can g-get you some more water if you w-want?" my words tremble for what i've said.

Umiling sya while closing his energy drink. Ngumuso ako at umupo sa plastic chair.

There are moments that we have to hold sometimes. The moment when where impatient, the moment that we have to treasure. There are a thousands priority to take. And somtimes we choose one, pero minsan, pinili nating pagsabayin.

The game didn't last an hour, masyadong seryuso kaya napadali. I decided to take the chances. Kahit hindi man mapasakin si Easton basta ma pansin okay na yun.

There are things that we have to give up. Giving up doesn't mean you lose, it just you give up because your tired, Tired for doing the things they can't see, putting an effort that they can't feel.

"Easton gusto mong ako na mag dala ng gamit mo?" i asked ng nakalapit na sya sa table nya.

Umiling sya at dinampot ang towel, But when he's was about to wipe his sweats inagaw ko ang towel nya at pinunasan ang likod nyang basang-basa sa pawis.

Hindi sya kumibo, akala ko hinayaan okay lang sa kanya pero ng inangat ko ang mukha ko. I saw how his jaw clenched sabay pag kunot ng kanyang noo.

Fuck! Is he angry?!

Mabilis kong tinapos ang pagpunas at nilahad sa kanya. Nanginginig ang kamay kong pag abot ng towel sa kanya.

"next time you do that, make sure you're hands won't shake" malamig nyang tugon 'saka tinalikuran ako.

Next time? Is there a Next time?

Napansin nya na ako. Titigil na ba ako. Sa kanya? Should i give up? Can i give up?

When i give up, could my heart beat normal? Yes, i should give up. Knowing that he's not for me, and i'm not for him. See that many girls want him. Neither of us didn't get his intention. Maybe meron talaga syang ibang gusto kaya iniingatan nya ang mahulog sa iba.

"Girl what was that?"napabaling ako sa likod ko ng makita ko lahat ng kaibigan ko.

"what what?" sarkastiko kong tanong. May i remind, this girls are irritating.

"what what mong mukha mo!" napatawa ko sinabi ni Agnes "pinunasan mo ang likod ni Easton. Hugh. Thompson!" ngumuso ako ng diinan nya ang pangalan ni Easton.

Mali bang punasan yun?

"Nahh! It doesn't matter, I'm giving up anyway" matamam kong sabi.

"Giving...what!?" singgit ni Garcie.

"Napansin nya naman ako. So it's okay" sabi ko at binalingan ang gate kong saan lumabas si Easton.

"tss, ngayon ka lang nya napansin susuko kana agad" na rinig kong sambit ni kaia.

"Make it three counts" Sadie suggest. Napakunot noo ko syang tinignan. I know what she means.

"no!"napabaling ako kay Jane ng bigla syang magsalita "masyadong bitin ang three make it five counts."
