The Reality (MSF book2)

Chapter Seven

Alyssa Valdez

'Deym! Alyssa! What are you doing?!' My mind yell at me when i realize that I just kissed her.

I immidiately pulled myself and look away from her gaze. Awkward moment filled our sorroudings. I dont even know how to talk to her. Do I need to say sorry? Of course dang it! I stole a kiss from her. Tsk.

"Awkward."

I look at my team mates and found out that their looking at us with a weird smile saying to me na... Lagot-ka-kay-L.a. I scratch my nape and pretend to look at my phone, I can see Dennise on my peripheral vision looking at me.

"Ahh..." Umpisa ko bago humarap saknya. "Sorry."

*pak

I touch my cheek and look at her with a shock face. I can see in her eyes that she's mad. Nabalot din iyon ng luha. "Besh..."

"No need. Don't talk to me."-Den

"Na naman?! Ano na nmn bang nagawa ko?" Takang tanong ko dito nang bigla siyang tumayo at sinipa ako sa paa.

"You stole a kiss! Like duh!"-Den

"Oh ano naman ngayon? We're the same girl, and besh po kita."

"Yun na nga eh! Eeiw! Lyssa!"-Den

I bit my lower lip to avoid from laughing. Her face is really red. "Sorry na nga diba? Gutom lang ako."

"And you... You just... Eer."-Den

"Coz you're sharing it with me! Anong gusto mong gawin ko huh? Tanggihan ko?"

"Malamang! Duh! Hindi ka man lang nandiri."-Den

"Why would I?! Eh bakit ikaw? Nandidiri ka ba?"

"Malamang!"-Den

Napalunok ako ng sunod sunod dahil sa naging sagot niya. I pinch my own hand and look at my team mates. Mabuti nalang at lumapit si Marge.

"Anyare? Game na ba?"-Marge

"Ah yeah! Im ready." Sabi ko ng mabilis bago tumakbo sa court. I immediately compose a message for Jus.

To: Love
'Hi love. Busy ka ba? After game can I sleep in your dorm?'

"Besh! Enough na sa phone." Ella whispered as she get my phone and put it in her bag. Pumwesto na ako at nakita si Den sa kabilang court. She's avoiding my gaze.

I played well, hindi ko nga alam kung pinapahirapan ko ba siya o hindi. Kung hindi kasi niya ididig yun hahabulin niya. Ang lakas ko ngayon... Masakit lang kasing malaman na nandiri siya sa ginawa ko.

I was dumb to do that thing. Hindi man lang ako nandiri, that was nusty tho. Pero ewan... Eerr. The point is, sana hindi niya pinamukha sakin. Busted na ako kung sakali. Pakshet.

"Aly phone mo!" Sigaw ni Ella ng matapos ang game namin.

"Salamat Ella." Mahinang sabi ko ng makuha ko iyon. I look at Den and approach her. I can feel my heart beat. "Ahm!" Pagtikhim ko ng hindi niya ako napansin. "Sorry kanina. Sorry talaga."

Wala akong narinig na sagot mula skanya kaya napahawak ako sa dibdib ko dahil sa pagkirot nito. Naglakad na ako palapit kay Ella ng iwan niya ako doon. "Besh sabay na tayo."

"Si besh Den ba?"-Ella

"Ah nauna na eh."

"Hindi kana hinintay?"-Ella

"Ewan." Sabi ko at nagkibit balikat pa. "What you saw a while ago is just ahh.. You know, hindi yun sadya."

"Really?"-Ella
