Chapter 13: Soccer Ball

Troy's POV

D*mn. What am I doing? Why am I like this. I can't understand what I feel right now. Earlier? When Trisha fell, I really wasn't going to laugh. Her face was priceless but for me it wasn't funny. I laughed to hide what I was feeling inside. What was it?! I let Peter came to my house, so they'll be close with Trisha. Of course as a best friend of his. I was taking a picture of them the whole time. Well, Peter asked me to. I really am bothered by the way Peter looks at Rish, and the way she blushed. I didn't know what I felt.

This feeling? D*mn, I can't explain. I posted the picture to show that I really am supporting them. Besides, Peter asked me. I have to get this strange feeling out of me.

Rish right now might be mad at me. I guess I ignored her? I wasn't really in the mood earlier. I hope she's not mad. I hope so.

Trisha's POV

Kanina pa ako nandito sa school. As usual tinignan parin ako ng mga students. Troy's not yet here. Okay lang kaya siya? I want to talk to him so bad. Nasaan na ba siya? 10 minutes nalang before mag start ang class namin.

3 minutes nalang. Where is he? Then I saw him, he looked at me for a while. I was about to ask him if he was okay but umurong yung dila ko. Baka deadmahin parin niya ako. Parang wala rin kasi siya sa mood ngayon eh.

"Ms. Mendez, sinimulan mo na ba ang pagtutor kay Mr. Smith." Tanong sa 'kin ni Ms. Levine after her time.

"Opo."

"Oh sige. Ipagpatuloy mo lang, at kung maari tuwing dismissmal. Our periodical is on Thursday. Of course, you have to study too. Right?"

"Yes po."

"O sige. I'll go to my next class."

This thursday na pala ang tests. Paano ko tuturuan si Troy? Eh parang iniiwasan niya ako. What will I do? Huhuhu. I'll just do something. I don't know, It'll work out.

"Trisha, sabay na tayo!" Sabi ni Carla.

"Yeah, sure."

We went to the canteen and bought some foods. Kumain lang ako ng kumain, whoo! Naka stress!

"Hhmm. Si Troy?" Tanong ni Carla all of a sudden.

I just shrugged. Di ko alam eh. Nung dismissal he went out directly. Eh bahala siya!

"Bakit di mo alam?"

"Ugh. He needs space. May problema yata yun." I said nonchalantly.

"Really? Eh ikaw? May problem ka ba? I'm a good listener." Aniya.

Ang bait talaga ni Carla. She's still the same Carla na nakilala ko.

"Feeling ko kasi may problema talaga yung yabang na yun! I just don't know what it is. He won't even tell me. I'm like... You know his bestfriend?! Ni hindi man lang niya sinasabi sa akin."

"Chill, Rish. Things will work out. Trust me." Then she winked.

Ugh. Sana talaga.

Dismissal time na. Hindi parin niya ako pinapansin. Paano na 'to? Will I still tutor him?

He's still there, sitting under in that big old tree. Okay. Breath in, breath out.

"Troy? Are you fine?" I asked him.

Nagulat siya sandali at napatulala but he just looked away. Bakit Troy? Anong problema mo?! Tell me!!!

"Troy! Just tell me! What's your problem."

"It's nothing. Just leave me here." He said. While looking away.

"Really? Seriously? Kung pwede lang sana! Pero Ms. Levine wants me to tutor you every after classes!"

Syempre hindi totoong gusto ko siyang iwan dyan. He's still my mayabang besfriend. Baka ano pang gawin nyan eh.

"I'll just tell her that you did. Now go away."

Wow. Grabe niya ah.

"No I won't."

"Yes you will, go."

"No."

"Go."

"No!"

"Fine. Whatever." Aniya.

Wala na akong ibang maisip na gawin. Di ko siyang kayang iwan dito. I'm not that heartless.

Idea! Yeah! Alam ko na! There's only two things he can't refuse.

I hold his left arm.

"Hey! Go away."

Please gumana ka! Sabay cute eyes! Then I stared at him. He stared back for a second then he looked away.

"Please yabang! Wag kanang ganyan! Tell me please. I'm your bestfriend right?"

"Okay. Fine. Let's go."

We started walking. Hay salamat at least ngayon okah na kahit hindi niya parin sinasagot ng maayos ang tanong ko.

"Let's just go to a fastfood chain. Doon nalang tayo." He said.

"Wow. You're improving yabang!"

"Yeah. I know."

Yabang to the highest level. Naglalakad kami ngayon patungong I-don't-know. Hahaha. Siya na ang bahala!

May mga students pa rin dito. Mostly players. May naglalaro pa ng badminton, volleyball, at soccer. Ang laki talaga ng school ground dito. Ang galing ng mga soccer players dito. I remember when I really wanted to join. Pero sa kasamaang palad, di natanggap. Kaya nga ako ngayon nasa band eh. Kung natanggap kaya ako? Nasa band kaya ako ngayon?

"Yabang, di ba soccer player ka?" Tanong ko.

"I quited."

"Why?"

"For our band. I can't handle them both at the same time. But I love our band more." He said.

Okay. That explains a lot.

My phone beeped. Nasa bag ko pala yun. Baka si Tita ang nag text.

"Troy, wait. I'll get something in my bag."

Tumigil naman siya at inantay ako. Backpack kasi ang bag ko eh. Good girl be like. Got it.

"Got it."

"Who?" I answered while still looking at my phone.

"Peter. Just sayin' hi." Sabi ko.

"Tss."

"Hahaha."

Tumingin ako sa kanya. Pero ang nakita ko ay bola...

"Trisha!!!"

*Bugsh*

He just saved me.

"TROY! Okay ka lang?!"
