"Prince Rivero passes the ball to his brother, Ricci Rivero... Ricci Rivero goes for the kill... he shoots... and he was blocked by Thirdy Ravena!"

I sighed in nervousness and pain as Ricci conquers the game with a dejected face. It's already the third quarter and lamang ng 21 points ang Ateneo. Start na nang first quarter nung makarating kami nila Alexa at lamang pa sila ng 4 points nun, pero ewan ko ba, parang may bad omen ata kaming tatlo at pagdating namin bigla silang natalo.

"Bakit kaya wala sa mood si Ricci Rivero? Nakaka-dalawang foul na rin siya ah!" we hear a bunch of guys at the hotdog stand when they had a fast break.

Hindi ko alam kung anong mararamdaman ko, sa totoo lang. 2 days straight na kaming hindi naguusap ni Ricci at kahit gaanong kulit ko pa sa text, hindi nya talaga ako pinapansin. Feeling ko nga, bnlock na ako nun sa pangfflood sa kanya.

To Ricci Rivero

Ricci, please talk to me. Please hear my side naman. What you heard with Bianca are yes, the truth but I swear I have a valid explanation for that. I know you know that I'm not capable of what you think I did.

Bunny, just give me a few minutes. Yun lang talaga, I beg of you.

Please answer my calls...

Good night!! I don't want to stress you out. I love you so much, bunny. Please believe me.

Good morning, bun! 🤗Game day today. Ayaw na kitang kulitin or guluhin bec I know how this game means so much to you and the team. Pls eat a lot and don't forget to bring extra shirts, support & Vit C! Love you, Ricci :)

O 'diba? Desperadang Marquis lang ang peg ko sa messages ko.

"Fuck, bakit ba kasi ayaw nila ipasok si Drei? Obvious naman na wala rin sa kondisyon si Kib!" Steph ranted and I realized na we kinda look a bit stupid for watching and supporting these guys who made us cry the past few days. I can tell that Steph's worried sick about Kib though, the way she scrunches up her nose and forehead whenever Kib commits a missed throw or shot.

"Tangina, nakakabadtrip pa rin talaga si Prince. Di ko na talaga siya ma-take tignan," comment naman ni Alexa na ikinatawa ko ng slight. Yan, that's my girl! Go, Alexa. Move on!

"Kairita! Kamukha nya si Pikachu! Bwiset!" we all snickered. Infairness, I'm kind of enjoying this backstabbing session right now.

"Foul for Ricci Rivero!"

I gasped as the love of my life committed another foul from the game. Hindi ko alam kung anong nangyari sa kanya, pero napansin kong never pa siya ngumiti. Never siya nagsalita, never siyang kumausap ng kahit na sino all throughout the game. Yes, nakaka-shoot naman siya but his face remains stoic afterwards.

At the back of my mind, I can't help but to feel guilty. Kasalanan mo 'to, Marquis.

Tinanggal si Ricci sa game at ipinasok si Drei and Aljun. Ricci stayed on the side, lifelessly nodding on his Coach while Coach briefly scolds him. We are 5 lines away from GA's side (told ya, perks of being the girlfriend) that's why sobrang lapit namin sa kanya. I hid under my black baseball cap dahil kahit na gaano ko siya gusto alagaan, i-comfort or kahit punasan man lang yung pawis nya but there's something in me na nahihiya sa kanya. Alam kong wala naman akong ginawang mali pero hindi ko alam, may something pa rin sa akin na di ko ma-explain tungkol sa nararamdaman ko sa kanya at kailangan mabago yun.

I was drowning in my thoughts when I suddenly noticed a pair of eyes boring into mine. Huminto ang paghinga ko nang makita kong nakalingon si Ricci at nakatingin ng malalim sa akin. His eyes are dull – as if it lost its sparkle. Nabigla ako at itinaas ang kamay ko to give him at least a slight wave but bigla siyang umiling at huminga ng malalim sabay iwas ng tingin sa akin.
