League of Life

Game 23: POV's

KOBI
I'm tying up my shoelace when I felt someone's eyeing me. I lift my head to face who it was. And I saw Kimberly smiling at me. It's so obvious that Kimberly likes me. Well, I can't blame her if she can't resist my charm. I have this overflowing charm that no one can't resist. Sobrang yabang ko ba?
Pero totoo naman kasi 'yon.

"Hi Kobi, congratulations!" aniya at may binigay na kahon sa akin.

"Ano 'to?" tanong ko at sinipat ang kahon.

"Why don't you open it?" a wide smile still plastered on her face. She seems very happy.

Binuksan ko ang kahon at ngumiti nang nakita ang mga cute na heart shape cookies Kahit maraming nagbibigay sa akin ng kung ano-ano. I'm still get flattered whenever I receive gift from someone. It makes me feel that I'm special.

"Wow! Sana all may cookies!" pang-aasar ng teammates ko, sina Derrick, Jason, William, Shaquille , Gallardo Kevin at Duncan. Synchronize pa talaga sila. Napatingin kami pareho ni Kimberly sa direksyon nila. They all put their hands into the famous peace sign at smiled to us.

"Don't mind them, nang-aasar lang ang mga 'yan!"

"Okay lang," Kimberly smiled. "It's not an ordinary cookies. It's organic, veggie plavots 'yan, energy cookies ang tawag d'yan. It's my Mom's  business. Alam ko kasing naubos 'yong energy mo sa play, so, I bought some for you."

"Wow talaga...thank you ha?" sagot ko at kumuha ng isang cookies mula sa kahon.

"Si Joey nakita mo?" dahil pinalibutan ako ng fan girls ko, hindi ko na nakita si Joey after game.

"She's over there kausap niya si Stephen."

That Stephen! Well I don't have bad bread with Stephen pero napapansin ko lang na sobrang close niya kay Joey. Hindi ko rin alam kung bakit ako naiinis sa closeness nila. Siguro kasi very consistent ako na makipag-friend sa kanya tapos si Stephen na bago lang sa team close niya agad.

Binaba ko ang kahon ng cookies at inaya siyang maupo sa bleachers. "Can you tell me more things about Joey?"

There's something about Joey but I can't point it out. I'm sure that I met him before pero hindi ko alam kung saan at kailan. And I know Kimberly is the right person to ask things about him

I also hate using Kimberly, pero kung siya ang magiging tulay para malaman ko ang gusto 'kong malaman tungkol kay Joey wala akong choice kundi gamitin siya.

FREY
Chloe rushes towards me after the game. I thought that I made it clear to her that she don't have to wipe my sweat, give me water or anything after the game. But there she is rushing towards me to do that stuffs.

"Chloe---" Chloe cut me off before I could say anything.

"What's with the furrowed brows? I'm not hear to wipe your sweat or kahit ano pa. I decided to move on. Unti-unti natatanggap ko na, na kaibigan lang ang tingin mo sa'kin. I accept defeat Frey," she said and bowed her head.

I should be happy but I also feel guilty. Chloe look so sad. I don't want to see her on that stage, especially that I know that I'm the reason why she's like that.

I made her feel that way.

"I want to take your advice. I should look for distraction. My friend set up a blind date for me. Actually at first, I don't buy the idea but after thinking about it, I guess have to reconsider that. In order to move on, I have to find distraction and I guess Hyena's idea is the best solution Frey, what do you think...?"

Of all the words she said only the word "blind date" registered on my mind. Isn't it dangerous? Mahirap nang magtiwala sa panahon ngayon. Yes, I want Chloe to forget her feelings for me. But I don't think that idea is the solution. When I tell her about finding distraction, I'm not really pertaining to a person. Ang ibig 'kong sabihin ay mga gawain na aagaw sa atensyon niya.
