Captured in His Words

Chapter 12

"So ang pangalan mo na ngayon stranger?" 

I sarcastically asked Sky as they took a short break from practice. I stood up before handing him his water bottle and his towel. Kinuha niya muna ang towel niya at nagpunas ng kanyang pawis at umupo sa inupuan ko.

"Anong stranger?" He asked as he stood up straight to meet me in the eyes.

"Sabi ni Silvero sa'kin kahapon." Napatigil siya sa pagiinom nang marinig niya ang mga sinabi ko. Napakunot naman ang noo niya at tumingin sa direksyon ng pintuan. May sinabi siya pero hindi ko gaano iyon narinig. I did not bother to say more since I knew he wanted to let his voice rest since they have been practicing this morning.

Speaking of Silvero, him and Ian were not here. Pero ang sabi lang ni Reece ay lalabas daw sila ng mabilisan. Probably to buy something kasi iniwan lang nila ang mga gamit nila at dinala lang ang kanilang mga wallet. Meanwhile he and Migs decided to stay to practice more.

Sky wrapped his towel around his neck before drinking from his bottle. Nang tapos na siya sa paginom ay nilagay niya ito sa table. Migs was also sitting beside him and seemed like he was also tired.

"Migs," I called him and handed his water bottle from the table. "Tubig." I smiled.

Tinanggap niya naman iyon at nginitian ako. "Thanks." 

They were all practicing for a music competition against other schools here. The MusikaLaban. Tradition na iyon dito sa lugar namin kada year kaya halos lahat ng students ay naeexcite dahil makikita nanaman nilang maglaban ang medyo matagal-tagal nang karibal ng Cuatrovated.

I don't really know that much since I'm not really a fan when it comes to this stuff. Hindi rin naman nakwento sa akin ni Kashka kasi lately ay naghahabol siya ng requirements na namiss niya. Malapit na rin kaming maging busy sa thesis making namin pero dahil kailangan ako ni Sky, nasingit ko naman ang pagpupunta sa mga practice nila. Hindi na nga lang ganoon kadalas.

"Are you leaving now?"

Sky interrupted me while I was gathering my things to leave. I took my jacket that was hanging on one of the chairs in the main room of the office. He was holding on to his towel on his neck and since he was sweating earlier, his shirt was wet because of it.

"Magpalit ka ng damit Sky, basang-basa ka na sa pawis oh." Sabi ko sa kanya at tinuro sa kanya ang basa niyang damit.

He looked down at his shirt but then back to me. The side of his lips suddenly rose, making me raise a brow. "If you want me shirtless just say it."

Nanlaki kagad ang mata ko at tinignan siya ng masama. He patted me in the head with his hand and leaning a little since he's a little taller than me.

"Ang cu-" He stopped for a moment. "Sige bye. Goodluck sa thesis." Hindi pa siya nakuntento at ginulo niya pa ang buhok ko ng ilang segundo bago siya kumaway sa akin nang umalis na ako sa office na dala-dala ang gamit ko.
