What Are We

Chapter 2 (1/2)

We leave the cafeteria and headed downstairs. The cafeteria is on the first floor so we went down to the ground floor where the locker's area and the library are. Sa likod ng hagdan na binabaan namin ay may nakita kaming exit kaya doon kami nagtungo palabas.

The football field opened up to us and next to it was the covered court. Habang naglalakad kami patungo sa court ay nadaraanan namin ang magagandang bulaklak at kasabay noon ay ang pagsalubong saamin ng sariwang hangin.

We entered the court and a group of men playing basketball came up to us, I didn't even look at them and just looked around the entire court. It was big, really big. Their court is not just for basketball, it's also for programming, p.e activities and other sports that can be done here.

"Wawawiw." I heard Drella's voice.

"Hottie." Arry's voice too.

I looked at them and they are looking at the basketball players, who are topless?!

Kinurot ko ang kanilang mga tagiliran kaya napa-aray naman sila. Earlier, it looked like they had clothes on top, but they didn't have. I immediately averted my eyes, Arry and Drella did the same too, when players stopped playing and turned to us. Maybe they felt like we were looking at them.

I saw someone smirked, as we averted our eyes to them.

"Kala mo naman talaga may abs at muscle e..." I murmured.

My gaze went to the handsome man, smiling and approaching us. I looked at him from head to toe, he was wearing a sweatshirt and pants so he's probably the coach.

Tumigil siya sa harapan namin. "You're probably the transferee's, right?" Napaayos kami ng tindig at tumango.

"Follow me." Sumunod kami sa kaniya. On the right side of the court, there is a quite large office and we went there.

"Here." He gave us a tote bag. "Inside of your tote bag is your uniforms and your student id." He paused for a moment and speak again. "For now, three pairs and two p.e uniform will be given to you since you are a transferee. Your uniform is provided by the school and if you have been here at the university for a long time and you want more uniforms, you can request and seek help from the administration office...you can talk personally to our university seamstress." Aniya.

"Oh, by the way, I'm coach Trei Rosales. You can call me Coach T or Sir Trei for short. I'm the coach who trains and teach players, specially in basketball, volleyball and tennis." He said and smiled at us.

It took us a few seconds before anyone spoke.

"I'm Lighht Zerelva." I introduced myself. He smiled at me then he crossed his arms across his chest and turned his gaze to Drella. 

Hindi ko na sinabi ang buong pangalan ko, what for? Makikilala rin naman niya ako sa students information.

"I'm Drella Catameo." Drella smiled. He slowly nodded and he looked at Arry.

"I'm Arryanea Vidal, coach."

"Alright...Lighht, Drella and Arryanea." He pointed his index finger to each of us as if he memorized our names. We just nodded at coach Trei.

"Lets go outside and I'll introduce you to the players." Aniya. Lumabas na kami at naglakad na patungo sa kinaroroonan ng mga players. Ganito talaga? 'Pag transferee papakilala kaagad sa mga players?

"Boys introduce yourselves." Nag-tigilan ang mga players sa pag lalaro, tumingin saamin, umayos ng tindig at tsaka isa isang nagpakilala.

"Hi! I'm Dave."

"Jacob at your service." Sabay saludo.

"Paolo..." At nakipag shake hands sa aming tatlo.

"Lourd."

"James."

At nagpakilala pa ang iba.Nang hanggang sa matapos..and its our turn to introduce ourselves.

"Ako nga pala si Lighht."

"Drella." Nagpacute pa siya at ngumiti.

"Ako si Arry! Nice to meet you all." She waved her hands at the players.

"Where's the Rage?" Coach Trei asked the players.

"There, coach." Jacob said and pointed the four boys who had just come out from the comfort room.

"Hey boys! Come here!" Coach Trei called them. Nagsi-alisan na ang ibang players at bumalik na sa paglalaro.

I stood straight. Nasa harapan na namin ang apat na lalaki. Their looks...their appearance are..,wala. Pogi lang sila.

"Ehem..." Tumikhim ang lalaking nasa harapan ko kaya agad naman akong napaiwas ng tingin. Teka.., ilang minuto na ba akong nakatingin?

"Girl, you've been staring at him about thirty seconds." Bulong ni Arry. Gosh, thirty seconds? Nabilang niya pa 'yon?

"I know that I'm handsome, but please don't stare at me like that." Ani nitong nasa harapan ko. Ano kayang puwedeng I-nickname ko dito? Pangit kaya?...Ay hindi masyadong gwapo... Napatingin ako sa sports bag niya, mayroon itong hotdog keychain. Napatawa ako sa isip, hotdog? Seriously?

I decided.

Nickname Unlocked: Hotdog

Unique ako mga mare.

"Tsk, Yabang." Nasabi ko nalang.

"Pardon?" Tanong ni hotdog. Hindi ko siya pinansin.

"You two, stop." Saway ni coach Trei. Napaka bingi kasi netong si Hotdog e. "Rage introduce yourselves and girls introduce yourselves once again."

"Aceikiel Laurier."

"Klausyer Rewera, your heartbreaker boy." And the boys chuckle.

"I'm Castriel Ganaria, the kindest and sweetest of the the Rage boys." Napa tsk-ed naman ang mga kalalakihan.

At si Hotdog na ang huli, so siya na ang magpapakilala. He looked at me from head to toe before he introduce himself. What's wrong with me? And what's wrong with this man?!

"Zaffire Verreira." walang emosyong saad nito.

Sunod na kaming nagpakilala. Isa-isa naming pinakilalang muli ang aming sarili. Nagpaalam na kami kay coach at nagpasalamat.

Lumabas na kami sa court at dumaretso sa coffee shop na tapat mismo ng university. The Clix Coffee House.

**

KASALUKUYAN kaming naghihintay ng aming order nang maalala ko na naman ang pangalan ni Hotdog.

Zaffire..

Zaffire..

"Oyy girl, we know that the four is really handsome, right? Pero bakit naman natulala at tinitigan mo siya ng bonggang bongga?

"Grabe ka naman sa bonggang bongga. Thirty seconds lang 'yon saka wala 'yon. Hindi ba puwedeng napatulala lang?"

"Sus." They said. Wala na akong sinabi pa dahil baka isipin ko pa ng isipin ang Hotdog na iyon.

Sa pitong minuto naming paghihintay, our order was served.

I ordered chocolate frappuccino, caramel for Drella and mocha for Arry. And also we ordered desserts.

Habang kumakain ay nagku-kuwentuhan lang kami ng kung ano-ano.

After we spent a few hours at Clix Coffee House, we decided to go home since we're all tired and we need a rest.
