CHAPTER EIGHTEEN
Happy New Year
"REALLY? You're still a virgin?" hindi makapaniwalang tanong sa 'kin ni Reez.
Hindi ko rin alam bakit napunta sa ganito ang usapan namin habang kumakain kami ng lunch dito sa food park.
"You and Denver never had sex?" gulat ring tanong ni Bell sa 'kin.
What the f*ck?
Nagkatinginan kami ni Denver at sabay kaming natawa.
"She won't even sleep beside me, Bell," kuwento ni Denver kaya napataas ang parehong kilay ni Bell.
"You never slept beside your ex but you always sleep beside Zavardo huh," pabulong na sabi ni Bell saka niya ako tiningnan nang masama.
"Gonz's like a brother to me!" I countered.
"He's still a guy."
"Are you jealous now?"
"No. Why would I? He's just your minion."
Inirapan ko siya. Kahit kailan talaga, basher siya ni Gonz.
"Wait. Zavardo? The volleyball player from Belle Ville?" singit ni Tech kaya palihim akong napairap. Don't talk to me, jerk.
"How are you related to him? I just met him twice, but that's already enough to tell how great he is," Tech added, flashing me a mocking smile that made his dimples so visible. Huh. I hate that smile! It's obviously to offend me and mock me!
"He's my best friend since I was four," I answered in a calm manner, trying not to show my annoyance with him.
"Sorry for Tech's behavior, Rara. Bell once dated Tech's first love and broke her heart. And Tech's still not over it. So, yeah. That explains why Tech hates the fact that Bell's now dating someone seriously," Vizcell intruded.
Tech avoided my eyes and immediately looked away.
My eyes shifted to Bell but he just shrugged nonchalantly. "I already told you, Keen. I used to date a lot of girls. And it just happened that Tech's first love was one of them."

"GIVE me that," I pointed my finger at the fruit cocktail.
"'Di ko pa nabubuksan, wait lang," sagot sa 'kin ni Trev saka niya kinuha 'yong can opener at binuksan 'yong lata ng fruit cocktail.
It's been a week, and today's the last day of the year. These past few days, all I did was train with Bell and Trev.
Trev sets the ball for me, and Bell receives all the ball I hit.
Sobrang masaya ako kasi nagagawa ko nang paluin ulit 'yong bola nang nakakasabay sa timing ng setter.
I am grateful for having Trev and Bell as my trainer. They're both great volleyball players who helped me train hard and get back on court again.
"Si Gonz? Wala pa? Maghahalo na kaming ube," Trev asked, handing me the fruit cocktail for the salad.
"Baka tulog pa 'yon."
4PM na pero malakas ang kutob ko na tulog pa rin si Gonz. Hanggang 5AM ba naman siyang nakatambay dito sa bahay namin kanina habang nanonood kami ng series ni Trev.
Abala kami ni Trev mag-prepare ngayon ng fruit salad at mango float habang si Mommy naman ay abalang magluto ng pesto, buffalo wings, crispy pata at caldereta.
