The Nerd's Scheme

Chapter 10

Khloe

I was busy doing some stretching when someone bumped at me. I staggered on my feet and almost hit the ground. Masyadong malakas ang pagkakabangga sa akin. Mabuti na lang talaga ay agad akong nahawakan ni Xavier

"Ayos ka lang?" nag aalalang tanong ni Xavier. Tumango ako at umayos ng tayo

"Thanks" nakangiting untag ko. He smiled back but the worry is still evident in his face

Hinarap ko ang nakabangga sa akin. Kaibigan ni Drew. Nagtaas ito ng kilay. Mukhang naghihintay ito ng sa sabihin ko

"What? Hindi ko sinasadya" he defended

I scoffed and crossed my arms

"What do you take me for? A fool?" I didn't hide the sarcasm in my voice. He purposely did it

"Oh come on nerd! Nabangga kita dahil paharang harang ka!"

His logic is absurd. Ambobo talaga. That's what he gets for sticking around with that idiotic Drew

"Where's the part that I blocked you? You were in the middle of the gym awhile ago and I was here... on the sidelines. Now tell me, how did I block you?"

Napipilan sya at napatingin kala Drew na kasama sila Ariella na ngayon ay nakatingin sa amin habang may ngisi sa mga labi

"You intentionally did it. I bet Drew asked you to do that. Tell this to that coward jerk... " I took a step forward, giving him a menacing glare. He was taken aback. What? You're intimidated?

"He's a spineless bastard. A good for nothing faint-hearted asshole who only picks a fight with someone he thinks is inferior to him. Tell him to stop being a pussy"

His mouth parted. Mukhang hindi makapaniwala sa sinabi ko. He was just standing for another few seconds, extracting every word that I said. When he finally understood what I said, he ran back to Drew

It takes him that long to analyze what I just said? He really needs to spend extra time in studying. His brain cells aren't properly working or maybe... Drew's influence

I crossed my arms while watching him saying something to Drew. His expression suddenly changed. The visible anger on his face signifies that he's ready to lunge at me

I cocked at eyebrow and just stood there... waiting for him. I'm really in a foul mood. I think it's not too much to blow some steam

"Drew looks really mad" puna ni Xavier na ngayon ay nakatayo sa gilid ko

Hindi ko inalis ang tingin kay Drew. He was just meters away from me when our instructor in PE came to the picture. Oh damn! What an unlikely timing!

"Good afternoon class" Mr. Sarmiento greeted. He was the instructor who helped me to find my room on my first day. And yes, he's related to Xavier. They're cousins

"Pasalamat ka" Drew mouthed before he turned his back and went to his peers

Such a stupid boy. You should be the one to be thankful. If Mr. Sarmiento didn't appear, you're now crying in pain

"For today's activity, I want you to form a group of six. Meaning, magkakaroon tayo ng 4 groups. Two groups will have seven members since you are 26 in class" panimula ni Mr. Sarmiento. Some of our classmates started to talk with their friends to form a group

"I want you to practice what you have learned in our last class. Next week, we will have a competition between groups. Since this is a team sport, your grade will depend on your group's performance"

He gave us some reminders before he told us to finally form a group

Nagkanya kanya ng hilahan ang mga kaklase namin. Nagkatinginan kami ni Xavier. Volleyball won't work with just the two of us but I'm not bothered. Sigurado naman may makakagrupo kami kahit ayaw ng mga kaklase namin unless they want to receive a fail grade
