The GUY We Both LOVE [ON HOLD]

Chapter Four

Preparation for the school's festival was stressful. Each club members were busy arranging each booth for the said event. The basketball team was practicing already for the upcoming game. I had the chance to interview some of the jocks.

I was planning to interview their team captain too but he wasn't available at the moment. For the publication, our editor in chief decided to create a school magazine instead. The said magazine should contain all the happenings for the upcoming set of activities.

"So everyone, please be informed that our special publication for this month should all be about the festival and the highlight should be the upcoming basketball game." Sasha, our editor in chief announced during our meeting. 

"So Hannah and Lily, I need to talk to you about the said game. Please remain after." she continued by eyeing on both of us. "The rest you may go." 

The meeting was ended then. Lily, the paper's resident photographer and I remained as we're told to. 

"Thanks for staying ladies." Sasha started once we're settled. 

"I requested you both to stay because as you may know the basketball game is the highlight of the festival." 

"And Hannah, you are in charge to cover for the said game. Part of your job is to interview the players especially the coach and their team captain." she instructed while facing me. 

"While you Lily will coordinate with Hannah since you are assigned to take pictures with the game and also with the jocks that Hannah will be interviewing." she said while turning to Lily. 

"Do I need to interview all?" I asked after she was done talking to Lily. 

"Not really. Just make sure the coach and the captain will be interviewed. You may interview the rest of the first five and the players that would be playing most of the time." She responded while starting to stand up from her seat. 

"If you don't have any more questions. You may now go" she finished. 

Lily and I exited the door with shoulders down. This would be a tiring week. We decided to exchange numbers then for us to be able to keep in touch since we would be working together for the following weeks. 

A moment later, I went back to my locker to get my books when my phone rang. I grabbed it out of my purse and saw the caller ID, Emily. 

"Hey Emily." I said once I flipped my phone open. 

"Hannah. I'm sorry dear but I won't be able to go with you after school. I still have practice and probably a date after." she answered with the usual cheerful voice. 

"It's alright Ems. I love the bus." I said trying to match her cheerfulness but failed though. 

"Thank you sissy. See you soon" and then she hanged up. 

She always goes with dates this week. That so called boyfriend of her is stealing my best friend's time for me. I wasn't able to have the chance to meet that guy or even know his name. Does he even go to school at all? Emily did mention about a family business. He might be a business man already. Eeehh, I never knew Emily wanted older guys. Well anyways, I should be meeting him soon. After all, this is just a small world.

The next day, I decided to wander around the neighborhood with my bicycle. Ever since we moved here, my routine was just home to school and school back home. I never had the chance to explore the rest of the place. It was Saturday so I had the advantage to do so.
