Points of Guarding Hearts

Game Scores Series #1

Feelings fade, just like how the quiet flickers of sun gleams dim when the rain pours; happiness also ends.

Exactly the same thing Ellieona Yoris Ricasa, a HUMSS girl, learned from being the eldest daughter of a broken family. To make her hobby a distraction away from the ache, she signed up to be a sports photojournalist. Mas gusto niyang i-document ang buhay ng iba. At least, in there, she knows her place; she knows where she belongs, but behind the screen. Pointing her camera at new faces to delete the files of her memories. Guarding the lens to not be directed at her because her pain might seep right through in.

However, there is a gifted basketball player, Waven Arixius Vieros from STEM, a man known as a point-guard monster. To many students on the campus, he is a heaven-sent for being a people person and a heartthrob who values academics. Kahit saang room o seating arrangement siya ipuwesto, may makakadaldalan siya. Surprisingly, he even got to befriend Ellie, even when they are poles apart.

She hates a camera on her, but he loves capturing her. Until they start keeping points on who will be captured in falling first, because being less than lovers is one thing, but being more than friends is a whole different ball game. Ellie played with it, because for her, a feeling just bounces to another, even love.

But does it? Because after all this time that she's been pointing her camera at anyone else, he was guarding her heart like there's no somebody else.
