Snowy nights are over by the end of February. Hooray !! I'm excited to see the flowers bloom again. But I know before I can visit beautiful places again I have to finish my duty as a student and as member of the varsity team.

Man, I was really exhausted today. Ngayon ang last practice namin. Tomorrow is game 2. Some of my classmates are watching. I appreciated it but I told them not to be hopeful.

" my water please "

Natatawa kong inabot kay senorita Tiana ang tubig niya. Since ako naman ang pinakamalapit sa mga bag ako na rin ang umabot ng tumbler niya.

Its March 3rd and classes will soon be over before we know it. And the championship is getting closer and closer. Kapag nanalo sila sa game two babagsak ng 40 percent ang chance namin na maka panalo pa. If Fontana claims game number two, its as good as a one way ticket to defeat.

" Riri, stop sleeping in there for fucks sake "

I opened my eyes and sighed. And I made it sure she can see it because Tiana be actin like a real stepmother to me these past few days. Parang ako na lang ng ako ang napapansin niya.

" I'm not sleeping "

Bulong ko habang naka unan sa backpack ko. Ale is beside me, lying on the track too. Who wouldnt get tired of this anyway ?

After that daily exercises and stretching we proceeded to the gym for few games. As usual hinahati kami sa dalawang grupo at kami-kami ang magkalaban. Kalaban ko yung dalawa, Jamie and Tiana. Bridgette is with them too while I got Ale and Carlie and Rose.

Kami naman ngayon ni Ale ang pinag tutulungan si Bridgette. She was laughing because she knows it. She struggles to get the rebound at palaging sa kanya ang pito dahil masyadong malakas ang tulak sa aming dalawa.

" wait what ? me ? flagrant ? How come it was flagrant ? I got the ball first "

Natatawa akong tumalikod dahil hindi ko na talaga kayang magpigil pa. Bridgette is slowly losing it. Parehas kami ni Ale na hindi na talaga kaya.

We burst a laugh when she keeps complaining to coach Donny.

" if this is a real game you could have gotten a flagrant plus a technical which will definitely threw you out of the game Kryss. How many times do I have to remind you that your hurt feelings will not get you anything here in basketball. Kung magpapadala ka lang sa emosyon mo hindi ka na lang sana naglaro. In the end, a referee's call can be treated as final and conclusive. No matter how bad it is, unfair or biased, it is up to you on how well you can handle yourself inside the court. "

I jokingly nodded to coach Donny just to piss Bridgette more. Although it is certainly true anyway. I just love the reaction on Bridgette's face. HAHAHAHA. Ganyan nila ako bullyhin. I am just taking my turn.

In the end, she took the advice and just put all her focus on the game rather than to me and Ale na talagang sinusubukan ang pasensya niya. Bridgette is so funny the whole time we were in practice. Asar talo talaga pero kailangan niyang i practice hindi lang ang skills niya kundi kung mental stability niya during the game. Otherwise she will not function well on the real game once she'll let herself get affected on this sort of occasions.

Saktong eight ng gabi ay pinagpahinga na kami ni coach Donny. We all got into the shower room for a quick refreshment after practice.

Shower room brings some memories eh ?

Lets just leave it there.

Halos isang oras din pala ang tinagal namin dahil nagkwentuhan pa kami at tumambay pa sa school grounds. Only few students na lang kasi ang nasa school kapag ganitong oras na. And most of them are law students on their fifth year. Grabe, I salute our future lawyers for their dedication.
