Interdicted Passion: The Nerd's Prodigy (AGS #1)

KABANATA 55:

Back off

I walked to the middle of the court. I looked at them coldly. Every step was full of anger. It was as if ice form with every step.

"I'll play. Make sure you beat me." I smirked at them. Inagaw ko ang bola sa kamay ni Morales.

"Woah, chill babe. Be careful you might hurt yourself." He smirked then laughed. Nakitawa naman ang back up niya.

I made a face. "Oh I won't." I smirked. I tied my hair up in a messy bun 'cuz I can't seem to tie it neatly.

"Hala nagtali na si Cap!" Tumawa na nang aasar si Zander.

"Patay na!" Tumawa rin si Drake.

"Time out's over. Ball to the other team." The referee raised his hand in our side. Lumabas ako ng court para ipasa ang bola at simulan ang laro.

Sinalo ni Neon ang bola at tumakbo na palapit sa ring. I eyed him and smirk. Tumango ito. He did a side pass and I caught the ball. I dribbled and lifted one of my arm, shoulder level, as defense. Isa ang naglakas loob na umagaw. I did a crossover and twisted to move away. I moved out of the three point line and threw the ball.

"Tres!" Sigawan ng mga kasama ko. I smirked at Morales.

"Lucky shot," He smirked back.

Nasa kanila ang bola. We need an offense. Morales was near the basket. Nginisian ko si Zander na nasa malapit.

"Not on my watch!" Ani Zander nang tapikin ang bola palayo sa ring. Steal.

Nasalo ko naman ang bola. Rebound.

Morales' men flocked on my side. When I saw a gap, I did an in between legs pass to Promise. He dribbled to the basket and did a reverse dunk.

Sunod-sunod ang naging puntos namin. We never let them score as much as possible. I took a step back and made my shot.

"Oh pa'no ba 'yan. Singkwenta na." I smirked at Morales. We scored 52-26. Naka lusot sila ng isa— more like pinalusok ko ng isa. Banas na banas ang mga mukha nila.

"Another fifty. Nakatsamba lang kayo." Aniya at nagmamalaking lumapit. Literal na tiningala ko ito.

He maybe tall but I am a better handler of the ball.

"Sige ba. Bola niyo pa, baka mabokya e." I smirked and did a chest pass to him.

"Don't be that confident. Maliit ka. You. Don't. Stand. A. Chance." Nang aasar itong ngumisi. He even leaned closer to emphasize his words.

"I am short pero hindi ako maliit lang." I scoffed at him and moved back. I might lose my temper and punch him straight to the face.

Lay up, One hand dunks, and ringless three points shots led me to a hundred.

"Ano? Another fifty?" I smirked at Morales. Sa galit niya ay hinaklit niya ako. I grabbed his arm that was holding me, twisted it and pinned him on the ground. I used one of my knee to stop him from moving.

"You messed with the wrong people, Morales. You might be forgetting what I can do." I whispered to him.

"See, tama na 'yan. Olats na sila." Pigil ni Promise na tunog nang aasar naman. Hindi ko tuloy maintindihan kung seryoso siya o sarcastic.

"Sus, hayaan mong baliin niya buto ni Morales, yabang e." Tumawa pa si Mike.

"This is your last chance. Scram or I will give you an all year ticket to the ICU." I smirked at him and stood up.

Agad tumayo si Morales at agad na tumakbo kasama ang mga alalay nito.

"Yeah right, run idiots!" Neon shouted. Morales looked back and lifted his middle finger.
