Lay A Glance On Me 1 (Lost and Retained #2)

''Go, Jarrell! Shoot mo na 'yan! Waah!'' malakas kong tili habang nakatayo sa inuupuan ko. Nakataas ang pareho kong braso and I'm jumping a bit.

I am here inside the university gym. Sa gilid ko ay si Cyrille na katulad ko ay nakatayo rin at tumitili. But I guess my yell is loud enough for everyone to look at me. 

The gym isn't huge. Sakto lang para sa students ng school. The gleam of the lights above is reflecting on the shiny floor of the court. Ang bawat takbo ng players ay naririnig pati na rin ang galaw ng sapatos.

My bestfriend, Lia, is not with me because she's busy with her org stuff. I wish she's with me so she can cheer as well! Kaso ay hindi ko naman mapapapunta 'yun dito dahil ayaw no'n sa basketball, e.

''Ipasa mo kay Jarrell! Sure na pasok 'yan! Shoot!'' muli kong sigaw habang tumatalon-talon.

Naglalaro ang team as a preparation for the upcoming season. They are playing against a team which is included in the same sports association. Ang university namin ay nakapasok sa semi finals last year. I'm sure they are aiming for a higher place this season.

Nakita kong pinasa ni Javier ang bola kay Jarrell. My man is the point guard and he is in charge with shooting the ball. 

Nag squat nang kaunti si Jarrell at tumalon para tumira. 

''Three! For Pessumal!'' the announcer said. Agad akong tumayo at nagsisisigaw.

''I told you! Go, Jarrell! Lampasuhin mo silang lahat! That's my jowa! Wooh!'' I exaggeratedly shouted. Pinaghahampas ko ang katabi ko pagkatapos sabihin iyon.

''Go, Javier! Nice assist!'' si Cyrille iyon.

I saw the coaching staff and the bench players looking maliciously at me. But I don't care! I'm here to support Jarrell! 

Tumakbo papunta sa kabilang banda ng court ang team at binantayan ang kalaban. Their color blue jersey looks bright than the red of the other team. 

Halata ang kulot at umaalog na buhok ni Jarrell. He is very masculine and tall. He's kinda moreno but his skin is glowing! Grabe he looks so hot!

I'm wearing a floral green off shoulder and a black slit skirt. I know I look pretty now but that won't change the fact that I'm losing my poise. But like what I have said, I'm here to support my man!

Mariin na binabantayan ni Jarrell ang kalaban. His surname is Flowers. Hawak no'n ang bola kaya mas lumapit sa kanya si Jarrell. He hold the ball both on his hands and placed it in front of his chest. Nang hindi niya matagalan ang depensa ni Jarrell ay siniko niya 'yun. 

Agad akong napatayo. ''Hoy! Gago ka, ah! Boo! Weakshit!'' sigaw ko.

I know basketball games can be a little bit physical but not to this extent. Nakita kong napaupo sa sahig si Jarrell at napahawak sa labi. Ang kanyang buhok ay medyo mahaba kaya tumutulo na ang pawis doon.

I want to go near him! Nakakainis 'tong Flowers na 'to! Ang ganda ng surname mo pero ang pangit-pangit mo naman!

Agad na hinila ng mga teammates niya si Flowers. While Jarrell is still seating on the floor, still bowing his head.

''Jarrell! Tayo! Pangit naman 'yang Flowers na 'yan! Talunin ninyo! Ano?!'' I shouted. 

I looked at him longer. He already looked tired. I just want to wipe the sweat away and make him rest. But I know it wasn't possible.

''Lay a glance on me, please..'' I prayed. 

But like the usual, he didn't.

Nakita kong napatingin sa akin iyong nang siko sa kan'ya. I arched  my brow and rolled my eyes at him.
