*JAKE*
Thea smiled at me habang nakaupo siya sa may buhangin, knees pressed tightly against her chest habang may scarf din na nakabalot sa balikat niya kahit na naka long sleeved na plaid shirt siya, along with shorts and flip flops.
Nakatingin siya sa akin na naglalagay ng mga napulot namin ni Kuya Jonathan na kahoy kahoy para sa bonfire na ginawa ko.
Gabi na. Mga past 10, and everyone was on their own activities. Sa Main building nagdidinner pa siguro ang mga Alcantara and yung mga kaklase namin, nasa kanikanilang mga quarters, panigurado nagpreprepare para matulog.
Nagkaroon kasi sila ng mini tournament kanina between sa dalawang klase. Volleyball, Frisbee, Beach Wrestling and Capture the Flag. I personally liked Capture the flag. Akala ko panalo na kami, but I should’ve done better since they had Thea on the other team
Nagaalangan talaga sila Kuya Gab kung pasasalihin si Thea, but she promised she's keep it to a minimum so pumayag ang magpipinsan. I warned my team though na wag siyang kakantihin unless absolutely necessary, and they misinterpreted it. I wasn't really underestimating Thea's combat techniques.
I was really fearful for those who might need to have to face her. She's ruthless. Magaling sa strategy, very composed.
I turned my back on the flag for one minute and then the next thing I know, my breath was knocked out of me and I stumbled down the sand, then I see Thea twirling the flag like a baton. Then she calmly walked papunta sa side nila, winning it in less than 5 minutes. Ewan ko ba.
Hindi naman na kami pinasali the round 2. Masyado na daw nakakatakot.
I tossed another piece of driftwood saka naman umupo sa tabi niya, putting an arm around her as she leans sa may balikat ko, snuggling closer.
“Cozy.” Sabi niya. “Nice.”
“Oo nga e. Care to share?”
Napalingon kaming dalawa sa likod namin to see Courtney at si Nico, kasama si Greg at Keith na nakatayo dun. Sa likod nila was Jenna, Aya, Jethro and si Laiza.
“Bakit hindi?” sabi ni Thea saka naman nag nod.
Nagpunta sila malapit sa amin, using some rocks bilang upuan. Si Nico at si Greg, nanghila ng isang kahoy saka pinaupo yung mga girls. Naupo naman sa buhangin katulad namin sila Jethro, Laiza seated comfortably sa may tabi niya. Ako naman naka indian sit habang si Thea nasa may mga hita ko, leaning sa akin.
“Sinong gumawa ng bonfire?” tanong ni Courtney.
“Ako?” sagot ko, putting my arms around Thea who sighs.
“Friggin Pyromaniac.” Sabi ni Courtney, rolling her eyes.
Tumawa si Thea. “He was really good at setting things on fire.”
Natawa lang yung mga kasama namin habang nagkwento si Thea about the time when we were kids and I ‘accidentally’ set our garden shed on fire. Bata palang kami noon and natatawa ako sa kakulitan ko.
