Skies' not the limit

Epilouge

"Garnet, look out!" I shouted at my teammate that was throwing a ball near a Razon. I'm sure that will land at her.

"Hoy!" Aki shouted.

"Aw. Sorry, 'di ka niya nakita." Daing ko nang tumama ang tuhod ko sa lupa. I protected that Razon but I ended up getting a wound. Tumayo ako at pinagpagan ang sarili ko.

Mabilis akong tumakbo papunta sa bag ko at kumuha ng first aid kit. I'm sure she needs a bandaid. Gusto ko nalang umurong nang ma-realize ko na 'yung bandaid kong may number 18 lang ang naiwan dito. Nagpapa-sadya pa kasi ang Mommy.

"Ah, I can manage." Her voice was soft. Sandali akong napa-titig. Nahihibang na yata ako.

"Shh, let me do it."

"Thank you." She smiled at bit.

"Next time, don't hurt yourself by going near places prone to accidents. You'll end up hurting yourself." I told her. Hindi ko din alam bakit lumabas sa bibig ko 'yon.

"Thank you ulit. Wala bang masakit sa'yo?" She blinked.

"Clavell Jairus Zobel. CJ for short." I extended my hands.

Damn it! Bakit nagkukusa ang sarili ko ngayon? I don't even know what I'm saying.

"Oh, Erin-"

"Erin Athena Razon. Eros Zephyrus Razon's sister and Alavin Kristopher Razon's cousin, right? You're famous."

Pagdating ng hapon, inaya ako nila Garnet sa bar neap Katipunan. I'm too tired for today but I decided to come.

I'm weird today and I confirmed it when I instantly looked for that girl when we came in the bar.

I involuntarily smiled when I saw her. I didn't expect her to be here but I'm happy that she is.

I ran to her seat when I saw Arden, a blockamate of mine talking to her.

"You want me to rip off your face?" Maangas na tanong ko sa kanya nang may sabihin siyang masama kay Erin. Pinatong ko din ang windbreaker na dala ko sa balikat niya.

"C- CJ." He stuttered and went away, running. Dapat lang.

"You okay? What did that asshole do?" I asked her in a calmer tone.

"N-no. Okay lang." She was supposed to remove the windbreaker when I stopped her.

"Keep that. Baka bumalik 'yon dito."

"Yeah. Thank you. Sorry din kanina, nadaganan kita."

"No problem. Matatamaan ka na kasi ni Garnet ng bola. Humarang lang ako. Tsaka ako mapapagalitan ni Coach kapag naka-tama sila ng bola." I gently laughed.

"Oh- yeah. Napagalitan ka pa dahil sa kambal ko." She laughed. Why does it seem like her laugh is a music? A music I never want to pause. Damn it!

"Ang tagal mo daw, eh." I whispered.

"Hey!" She shouted, trying to prove her point. I immediately covered her mouth using my hand.

"Your cousins are party booze and you- you're just loud."

We talked about so much that time. She even shared how her life was and what her course is. I felt comfortable with her, I do hope she feels the same.
