"babe sorry ngayon lang kami nag dismissal, kanina ka pa?" Samantha ask
"ok lang babe I just arrive lang din pero gutom na po ako" I answer and pout
"cutie hahaha ano pa nga bang bago? Ako na lang oorder so what's yours?"
"nah let me do it just sit there ok" sabi ko sabay tayo para mag order
"Love may class ka pa mamaya?" I asked her while we are eating
"huh love?" she looked at me confusingly
"you text me earlier diba and called me love I was surprised kasi first time mong tinawag sa akin yun but it's kinda sweet naman hehe" she check her phone and confirm it
"ahh sorry I typed love instead of babe sorry I'm sleepy pa talaga kasi kanina"
"ahwww it's ok babe sorry if you didn't finish your activity because of me" I apologetically said
"it's okay babe by the way may isang class pa ako mamaya why?"
"hmmm can I sleep again in your condo tonight please" sabi ko dito
"why? Diba may game kayo bukas and hassle if di ka sa dorm matutulog papagalitan ka ni ate Mads"
"ako ng bahala babe sige na please" pagpupumilit ko sa kanya
"okay² una ka na lang sa condo ko may klase pa ako eh" she replied
"no babe may class pa ako and after meditation namin I'll get the things that I need tomorrow sa dorm, text me na lang if tapos na class mo I'll drive us later ok? She agree to it naman and we go to our separate ways after eating.

" babe you'll watch our game naman bukas diba?" I ask her as we cuddle in her bed
"sorry babe ha I can't come tomorrow marami pa talaga kasing paperwork na kailangan tapusin eh" she said and hug me
"ahww sayang naman but it's okay I'll won tomorrow's game na lang para sayo" I replied
"sorry talaga babe ha, by the way nagpaalam ka ba na dito ka matutulog?"
"yes babe pinayagan ako ni ate Mads basta ba di daw ako male-late bukas" sagot ko sa kanya
Buti na lang talaga at pinayagan ako ni ate Mads na se-sense nya ata talaga na ayaw ko munang kasama si Ponggay, actually na abutan ako ni Ponggay kanina na nag aayos ng gamit but she didn't talk to me which is good thing kasi di ko naman sya kakausapin kung sakali.
"okay let's sleep na babe para may energy ka bukas good night and good luck bukas I love you" she said and kiss my cheek
"thanks babe, and I love you more than you love me" I kiss her forehead before we doze on our sleep
GAME DAY
Its the battle of katipunan today and I feel uneasy grabe yung kaba ko, I want to win this game because we want to reach the finals and I told Samantha that I'll win this but paano ko yun gagawin if may ilangan sa court between me and Ponggay
"hey you got this okay just focus on your goal and believe in yourself" nagulat ako ng may umakbay sa akin and pag lingon ko it's ate Jia pala
"haysss easy for you to say ate cause you're a living legend tsk kinakabahan talaga ako ate Ji, pano kung matalo ang team dahil sa akin, what if pangit distributions ng set ko, what if I....." may sasabihin pa sana ako but she cut me off
"hey hey easy there little tiger hahaha ang oa mo baby D bakit ikaw lang bang isa ang nasa court? Yes 6 players lang ang allowed sa court but you know that your team mates are always there for you, we your ates got your back always remember that ha" I sighed after listening to Ate Jia she always know the right words to boost my confidence
"ano ba yan ang drama naman, pa humble naman masyado eh sikat na sikat na nga" sabi ng tao na kadarating lang dito sa dug out
"ate Ly I miss you po" I said and hug her tight
"di halata bata hahaha, bakit ba kadramahan ang naririnig ko sa mga legends na to? Wag mo sabihin Ji na nahawa ka na sa ka oa-han ni Deanna?" ate Ly said hayssss bully as ever
"nahh ate Ly sinasabayan ko lang oa masyado eh akala mo naman sasayaw sila sa loob ng court eh hindi naman, maglalaro lang naman sya doon" ate Ji, okay babawiin ko na ang sinabi ko this two are bullies, super bullies
"mga ate naman eh" I said while pouting
kinamusta din nila ate Ly and ate Ji ang ibang lady eagles they say good luck to everyone nung tinawag na kami for warm up sa court
"baby D wala pa akong entry sa kadramahan nyo kanina so ito na lang" pahabol na sabi ni ate Ly sabay kuha ng kamay ni ate Ji at pinatong nya yung mga kamay nila sa ulo ko na parang nang he-heal sinabayan pa talaga ni ate Ji at may pa yuko² pa talaga silang nalalaman ha
"ayan ok na baby Deans punta ka na doon" ate Ji said tumakbo na ako sa team ng nagugulohan
"hahaha they are still doing that ey" sabi ni ate Kat while laughing tiningnan lang namin yung mga seniors na tawa ng tawa
"doing what ate Kat?" I asked her
"minamaligno ka nila ate aly at ate Ji D ganyan talaga yan sila hahaha" sabat ni ate Jho at nakipag apir pa kay ate Mads
"minamaligno ano yun?" I'm still confuse
"it's their ritual Deans we also experience it before when we feel nervous before game they'll do that as if transferring their powers to you hahahah" ate Bea said
"okay they are weird thou haha"
"don't worry Deans it's effective naman hahaha" sabi ni ate Kim
The seniors are nodding so I guess lahat sila ay napasahan ng powers ni ate Ly and ate Ji before hahaha
As the game is about to start I look for ate Ly and ate Ji nakita ko naman sila agad and now they are with their partners pero may kasama pa sila na isang babae she seems familiar but I forgot where I saw her, so I just shrug my head and focus on the game.
