Mika
I groggily wake up with the light from my window shining in my face, I try to get up. No success. I stay in my bed for about an hour just scrolling through my social networking sites.
I look at the following part in Instagram and I see that one of my friends liked a photo. And that's when I come across the face of Kiefer Ravena.
I study his face. "Hmm, handsome" I think.
I look in his tags and I start practically stalking his account, I smile to myself because of the fact that we don't even know each other.
I miraculously get out of bed and head to the bathroom. I get out, finding Ara's angry face in the doorway. Oh crap, we have training and I forgot.
"Mika! You're already late, we've all been waiting for you. Katagal mo naman maligo" Ara says.
"Whoops! Sorry Ara, come on don't get mad at me anymore because then the longer we'll keep our teammates waiting right?" I smile gleefully at her.
Ara's anger dies down as I see a smile creeping thru her face.
"Hay naku! Basta dali na" she says.
We both jog through the hallways til we reach the gym.
"Hey guys!" I greet my teammates.
"Hala Mika, late nanaman. Tsk tsk tsk" Kim says. They all laugh. And we all drag our lazy butts to the court and start training.
*hours later*
Whew! Training went well, my serves have been getting better, blocks are more secured and attacks are stronger so I'm pretty much in a good mood right now.
We have a game against Ateneo a few weeks from now so I'm hoping all the trainings' my team mates and I do will finally pay off when we win against them.
I think of the glory all the way back to my dorm, smiling like a child receiving candy for the first time and sleep with the same expression.
Kiefer
*plop* the basket ball that was just launched by my hands, goes inside the net. I run to retrieve the ball back but I get distracted by my team mates giggling in the corner.
I go over to them and find them huddling up Thirdy, I push through and find that they're stalking Mika Reyes's pictures.
"Ganda niya bro!" Von says.
"Ang galing niya pa sa volleyball ha. Siya na, siya na!" Pauly laughs as he raises his hands up.
I've seen Mika Reyes play in tv sometimes. She's really good not to mention how beautiful she is. My eyes literally follow her everytime she's viewed while she plays, I don't know what it is about her, she just always manages to catch my attention.
I look at Thirdy's phone, and see her smiling face in the screen. Shucks, ang ganda niya. I start staring at her for a good 5 minutes.
"Hello, Kuya! Diyan ka pa ba? Parang nakatulala ka lang sa mukha ni Mika ah! Ikaw na rin may crush sa kanya? Thirdy exclaims.
Hala. Huli pala ako.
"Hala! Di ah, nagagandahan lang ako sa kanya." I defend.
"Sabi ko nga crush mo siya eh!" Thirdy says and my team mates laugh.
"Nagagandahan lang ako, di naman yun agad crush na." I say
"Ay basta, malapit na rin yun" He says.
"Huli ka Kiefer!" My team mates chorus.
I laugh and there's a permanent smile that stayed on my face the rest of the day.
I go home and Dani runs into my arms. I hug her back tightly.
"Kuya! You're home, I miss you so much" Dani says.
"Miss na rin kita!" I reply.
We walk to the living room and start watching TV. We go to the Filipino sports channel. And it so happens that it's the replay of DLSU Lady Spikers vs UP Fighting Maroons. Mika Reyes serves and she does it perfectly, the crowd cheers as the ball hits the ground and UP's players try their best to fight back.
"And that's a perfect serve from DLSU's one and only, Mika Reyes!" The announcer says and the crowd goes wild, chanting: MIKA! MIKA! MIKA!
"Idol ko talaga si Mika, ang galing niya, grabe. Ang ganda niya pa, kakaingit" Dani says.
"Gusto mo ba makita si Mika, Dani?" I ask.
"Syempre naman oh!" She replies.
"Edi let's watch with Mama and Thirdy in their next game" I suggest.
"Game! Wait, isn't it against Ateneo na?" She asks.
"Ay oo nga no. Basta manononood pa rin tayo" I say.
"Sige Kuya, ikaw bahala" She replies.
Our chat related to Mika ended there. Dani and I spoke for hours, catching up, what's happening in our lives. After, she starts yawning and she just sleeps on the couch, getting lazy to get up and go to her room. Syempre naman, good brother ako, so I put a blanket over her so she won't get cold and I go to my room.
I'm curious about Mika now. So I go to her IG, it's filled with her pictures of her and her friends, a big smile in each photo. I come across her selfie, and I just stare at her. Ang ganda niya, wow. I think I stared at that selfie for about 10 minutes? Whoops.
I basically stalked her whole instagram, she seems very close to her family and she certainly loves her friends. I think to myself na, someday sana makaksama rin ako sa feed niya.
Someday, mangyayari rin yan.
Eh, tulog na Kiefer. May training pa bukas.
