The day after the try out, asa bahay lang si Alyssa. She decided na sa Sunday na lang dalhin sa dorm ang mga gamit niya, pag lilipat na rin siya. Medyo iniisip niya pa nga yun. Kasi, she's never been away from her family, ever. She's never slept out of the house for more than 3 days tas ngayon, she'll be living alone, without Nanay Elsa who'll wake her up and cook for her, Tatay Max who'll bring her to school, her brothers who'll make fun of her hanggang sa pati siya matatawa na rin, her dad who'll assure her that he got her, everytime. Medyo OA, but di kasi talaga siya sanay na malayo sa kanila, kaya medyo kinakabahan siya. While thinking, she got a call from Kiefer.
"Yo." Sabi niya.
"Punta kaming Ateneo ngayon, baka gusto mong sumama?" Kief asked.
"Anong oras?" Ly asked back.
"Ngayon na. Andito na kami sa baba." Kief said and laughed.
"Gago." Ly said tas lumabas siya ng kwarto niya. Kief ended the call. "Kanina pa kayo?"
"Di naman. Nakakain na kami ng breakfast mo, anak ka ng tokwa! Anong oras na, di ka pa kumakain?" Rex said.
"10 pa lang eh." Ly said and dumiretso sa kusina. Siya lang mag-isa kasi Kian is enrolled in a basketball clinic, sila ni Mosh so kasama niya si Nanay Elsa at Tatay Max dun. Her brothers and her dad are at work already. "Inubos niyo na eh!"
"OA! Meron pa yan!" Ysay said as they also went to the dining. "Ayan oh! Dali na, kain ka na. Aalis tayo."
Ly started eating as the three guys watch her, "Paano kayo nakapasok?"
"Duh, alam na namin san nakatago susi niyo, no." Kief answered and chuckled.
"Anong gagawin natin dun?" Ly asked.
"Kami papasyal lang. Will try to make ourselves familiar with the place. Ikaw, ewan ko sayo. Baka, may iba kang gustong gawin, okay lang naman samin." Rex answered and wiggled his eyebrows at her.
"Invite ko kaya si Den for lunch?" Sabi ni Alyssa.
"Ayon! Nadale mo rin, sa wakas!" Rex said at napahampas pa sa table. Nakuwento na kasi nilang dalawa ni Kiefer yung deal nila.
"Sabihin mo na kasi kaagad na liligawan mo ulit!" Sabi naman ni Ysay.
"Wag ka ngang excited." Ly said. "Akala ko kumain kayo? Where's your plates?"
"Hinugasan namin, duh! Di naman ganun kakapal mukha namin para iwan lang diyan eh ang linis-linis niyan." Kief answered. "Go, maligo ka na. Ako na dito." He said and got the plate from Ly's hands.
Ly put her face close to Kief's, "Kayo na ba?" She asked and smiled.
"Baliw, hindi." Kief said and smiled.
"Mika magic." Rex said. Tumango na lang si Alyssa at tumaas na sa kwarto niya para maligo.
Nanood lang naman ng TV yung tatlo habang naghihintay kay Alyssa. Wala eh, sanay na sanay na sila talaga dito. Lalo si Kief.
"NHS top student, Alyssa Valdez, landed a spot in the Ateneo women's volleyball team and will be one of the rookies this upcoming UAAP season!" Sabi nung nagbabalita sa TV.
"Asa news ang gago!" Ysay said and natawa sila. Sakto namang baba ni Alyssa.
"Tanga, asa news ka oh!" Kief said and binato siya ng unan.
"Ha? Bakit?" Ly asked. Well, di naman ito yung first time na asa news siya. Her family is pretty known because of their businesses and because of that, pati sila minsan, napapa-news. But ngayon, di niya alam kung bakit. Naupo siya sa tabi ni Ysay sa couch at nakinig sa balita.
