Chapter 17.3: Gallant vs. Cavaliers

I searched for the daisy's meaning on Google, and I found out that it means attachment. Should I anticipate it?

By the way, I was super duper touched for what he did and what he gave me. He gave me the prizes that he received yesterday: the pink teddy bear, and the Kpop merchandise. It felt so good when someone gave you the prizes for his efforts. And he really bought the book for me? What a kind man Vince is! He's such an ideal guy for me.

"Here's my payment," I said as I handed him my money. He refused to accept it and I was a bit disappointed.

"No, I don't need money, Shane. That was just my payment for you, napakalaki ng utang na loob ko sa 'yo dahil sa pagtulong mo sa 'kin kay Marra," he said without looking at me. He tied the shoelace of his rubber shoes. We'll play Volleyball, and we'll represent our team. And for the first game, it was Gallant Green versus Vivacious Violet who will play. I heard that Ate Marra and Ate Xyle will play too. So it was Iryn and Ate Marra versus Vince and Ate Xyle. "Just cheer me up, that'll be more than enough." He smiled at me before jumping, testing the durability of his new shoes.

"Just don't let Ate Marra distract you, that's all," I said before I turned my back on him. I proceeded to the gymnasium. I tried to search for my friends and I saw them there, at the nearest bleachers again. I guess it is their favorite spot. I sat between Audrey and Demi.

"Cheer mo bebe Matthew mo!" Audrey teased.

"Oo nga! Go, Matthew! Go Matthew! Go Matthew, Matthew love!" Demi cheered with matching sing and dance pa, nag-duet pa sila ni Audrey kaya nasapo ko ang noo ko.

"Of course I'll cheer for Gabby and him," I said before rolling my eyes. I looked at the silent Ken and Zeus. My eyebrows furrowed. "Why are you guys so silent?" I asked them.

"Nakipaghiwalay na kasi ako kay Zeus, eh. I realized na masyado pala siyang masungit at rude sa akin." Audrey pouted her lips, while Zeus just glared at Audrey. "Hihi, peace, my love!" Audrey said, forming a V using her index finger and middle finger as a sign of peace. There is a sudden shifting of the atmosphere between the five of us. We became silent and sensitive over each other. Did they fight?

"Just watch my basketball game later," Ken said with a little, forced smile. I just nodded. I think there must be something going on between the four of them that Gabby, Vince and I don't know. Or maybe they already knew and I was left behind, trying hard to catch up with them.

The game started, and I'm torn between Gabby and Vince. I am in a liability with Vince, while Gabby is my best friend. I'm worried, baka magtampo sila.

"Go Iryn! Go Matthew! Go Iryn! Go Matthew!" my friends cheered in unison, so I did the same and nakisabay sa kanila. "Go Iryn! Go Matthew! Go Iryn! Go Matthew!"

We're currently on the third set. And the rally is getting intense. I am biting my little finger's nail while staring at Vince, he's drinking Gatorade. He was substituted by Ate Xyle and the score for now is 5-7 in the favor of Violet. I looked at Vince when he murmured something.

"Ang bulok ni Ate! Pasikat!" I laughed at that, I can see his irritation while glaring at Ate Xyle. "Akala ata modeling ang nilalaro sa court!"

"We both know that she's not into volleyball. She was compelled to join because there's no other player on your team," I said. He just rolled his eyes.
