Knowing the Vixen

Nineteen

I pulled Lore to stand up, nakanganga siya sa harap ni coach at hindi makapaniwala sa iniuutos sa amin. Lore was never good in running and so do I.

"Pull your self together." I snapped in her face.

She whined while running to the field.

"I can't run that much!"

Yeah, she said she cannot run that much pero mukhang ako pa ang mahihimatay na, kakahabol ng hininga ko. The whole time we're running, coach is also nagging and shouting. Seriously, why do spinters love scolding younger people?

I lied down the field after running. I know it's bad but heck I'm really dying. Akala ko talaga kanina ay mahihimatay na ako kakatakbo, Lore was even literally hauling me on the ninth lap.

"That's all for today. Tomorrow we will start your proper training," Coach said before leaving.

I picked up my Nike duffel bag and was about to head back in the training room to change when a bottled water blocked my sight.

"Water."

Boses pa lang, kilala ko na kung sino ang may hawak ng bote. Boses rude kasi.

I yanked it from him. There I saw a rude nerd with his gold specs, clean tucked hair and school uniform. His gray knapsack slings only on his left shoulder... doesn't go well with his good boy get-up if you ask me. He is suppose to sling it with both shoulders but who actually cares?

"Yeah, I can see that," I said while still breathing heavily.

"Saan ang akin Tim?"

"Are we close?"

Kamuntik na akong mabulunan nang marinig ang balik niya kay Lore. This man and his savagery.

I heard Lore laughed. "Rude ka nga. Anyway, sana dinalhan mo rin ako nang hindi ka mapaghalataan." She laughed again and yanked the bottle from me. "I'll go ahead. Thanks for the water Tim!"

I watched her walk away until she disappeared from my line of sight. Tangina ng babaeng iyon, that was my water! Hindi ko pa nga nakakalahati iyon eh. Where is her manners?

I sighed before walking my way back to the training room. Ramdam kong nakasunod si Timothy sa akin.

"Are you here because you miss me?" I asked nonchalantly.

"Assuming slut. I was thinking if you want to fetch your siblings together with me?"

"Akala ko ba may nanny si Jill?"

"True."

"It's monday, hindi pa dapat siya ang susundo sa kapatid mo?"

"True again, but if I want to fetch her then I will. Ano, sasama ka ba o hindi?"

I snickered. It was unintentional, I was supposed to laugh mentally but I couldn't help my mouth. "You could just tell me Tim na gusto mo akong kasama. You don't have to use your little sister to make excuses."

I turned to face him while smiling, holping to annoy him, only to saw his face getting red and then he averted his gaze. "Huwag na nga! You talk too much. Yes or no lang naman."

That's when I chuckled loud. Some of the students turned their heads in our direction. Narinig ko pa na confirmed na raw na in-relationship kami ng Hargadon na ito. I see, the gossips and rumors are still circulating the campus. Ang tagal na ng issue namin simula noon sa cafeteria, hindi parin sila maka move-on?

"Hunnie, kahit alam kong gusto mo akong makasama, I need to do some errands for my mom. So... no."

He scoffed. "Sino ang nagsabing gusto kitang kasama? I only need to deal with you for my sister's sake dahil gusto niya ang kambal."
