CHAPTER 7

AUTUMN

Hindi ako makapaniwala na siya ang setter ng volleyball team. Gustuhin ko umalis ng team ng volleyball, alam kong hindi puwede dahil ginagawa ko rin ito para sa kapatid ko. Walang kasiguraduhan kung kailan siya magigising pero sana ay bumalik na siya at para siya ang maglaro rito at hindi ako.

Gumagawa ako ng paraan para hindi na kami magtagpo pa pero ito ang nangyayari. Kada oras o kada lugar na aking pinupuntahan ay nararamdaman ko ang presensiya niya dahil alam kong nandiyan lang siya. Ang seryoso ng pakikitungo niya sa iba lalo na kapag nagtuturo siya ng basics sa mga miyembro ng volleyball team. Minsan lamang siya tumawa at ngumiti.

He has this cold treatment to others mostly to girls. I don't know why he's like that to girls mostly me when we broke up before but I don't have a care. I want to end this disaster as soon as possible because I don't want to see him. Every time I will see him or meet him in this campus, he's letting me remember the trauma that he gave to me. All of his tortures in time of future. He is manipulative, heartless, ruthless—a damn monster.

Kaya hindi na ako nagtaka kung bakit nasampal ko siya noong nakita ko ulit ang pagmumukha niya. Hindi ko makakalimutan ang ginawa niya sa anak namin at sa mga kaibigan ko lalo na kay lolo. Alam kong wala siyang alam sa panahong ito dahil mga bata pa kami kumpara sa kasalukuyan. I'm only eighteen years old here and he got me pregnant in the future, twenty-four to twenty-five years old.

"Auvin, why are you staring at Cradience like that? Parang kakainin mo na." When Cradience gave me a glance because I didn't know that I've been staring at him for several minutes, I immediately avoided my gaze. Good thing, they didn't notice weird to me. Like, I'm not really their friend—I'm not my twin, Auvinumn.

Kivione chuckled and I responded a smiled to him. Auvinumn likes smiling widely and teasing his friends. I can copy his smile and his actions I know but all of this are fake. I'm not planning to befriend with these guys.

I let out a fake laugh. "Pasensiya ka na, Kiv. Wala lang, hindi ko sinasadya. Is it my turn now of serving the ball?" I asked after apologizing. I immediately changed the topic because I know that many of guys here are good at observation whenever they're noticing something. At hindi na ako makapaghintay na itama ang bolang ito sa pagmumukha ng Cradience na iyon dahil nanggigigil ako.

Kulang pa ang sampal at pagmumura ko sa kaniya!

"Hindi pa, si Captain pa ang titira ng bola. Pagkatapos nito ay warm up ulit, tatakbo pa-ikot ng maraming beses. Si Captain na ang sunod at huli ka na titira," sagot niya naman at ngumiti sa akin. Tinanguan ko lang ito at hindi sana papansinin pero idinagdag ko agad ang pagngiti. I used to ignore a person or just nod at them.

When the Captain took the ball, he threw the ball higher in the air as it was followed by a huge and high-distance jump. I thought he will spike it down with his strong force but he just served it lightly; he didn't spike the ball or slam the ball to the ground. He only served it in very light way, and that's what we call fake attack.

"Float serve!" the small guy exclaimed. I don't know his name but he's noisy even he's just small. I'm taller than him, probably three inches.

Agad pumunta si Cradience sa bola at sinalo ang float serve ng captain nila. Tumingin lang ang captain kay Cradience ng seryoso saka umalis sa puwesto.

Napakayabang naman niya.

I just secretly rolled my eyes. Papunta na sana ako sa labas ng linya pero pinalo ni Kivione ang likod ko at napalakas ito kaya muntikan na ako matumba sa sahig.
