Chapter 14

"Go Grade 12! Go Grade 12!" Our batchmates cheer for us.

After some minutes the volleyball match will start. I'm nervous but yeah I need to trust myself.

"I'll gotta go. Our match is scheduled the same as yours. Goodluck." Carylle said and walked away.

I saw Yuri looking at us, luckily the chess match is on the afternoon. He can watch Ferry play our game.

"This is a match between grade 12 and grade 11." The announcer said.

The announcer asked the lower grade if court or ball.

"Court."

We are on the left corner and they are on the right. The caption ball serves the ball, Ferry received it, Zailia tossed it and I spiked it.

0-1 baby.

The game goes on. They are so competitive that they spiked Ferry on the face.

I saw Yuri run towards the court and held Ferry on waist.

"Are you ok?" Yuri said worriedly.

Ferry doesn't look ok. She is getting red and can't speak. The teachers asked Yuri to bring her to the clinic.

"That was bad." I said.

I saw their team captain smirked at me. It's getting me pissed, she's overconfident. I will make ger cry later.

The game went on. Zailia always received the ball. She's a good player, I like her maybe we can be friends after this.

"1 for Grade 12, 0 for grade 11."

"This game is a best of three. We must won another round to win. We can?" I asked.

"We can!" They shout.

"So I'll rest for a while then you sub." I said to them.

"I'll rest too." Zailia said while drinking water.

The game started again. I saw my teammates play, at first it was a favor on the other team.

"We will join them when the opponent thinks they're going to win this round." Zailia said.

I nodded and agreed with her.

"Score, 15-18." The boy announced.

"It's time to make the tables turn." I said and starts to play.

I never felt this enjoyment before. Maybe I will pursue my volleyball career when I reached college.

"The game is over. Grade 12 won!" The announcer announced.

"Grade 12! Grade 12!" Our batchmates cheer.

I went outside to breathe some air. It's so hot. I turned around when someone handed me a bottle of water.

"Big brat?"

"Surprise! You're great!" He hugged me.

"I'm sweaty." I pouted.

"But you still smell so good." He smirked.

"Don't you have class? I told you class before me."

"And I told you too that it's class together with my baby."

"Wait, my volleyball teammate she's at the clinic." I said worriedly.

We walked towards the clinic. I saw a nurse and asked him where Ferry is.

I knocked on the door and slowly opened it. I saw Yuri sitting beside Ferry's bed, they are talking about something.

"Hey Ferry! Are you ok?" I asked.

I saw Yuri thumbs up and at Ciro and smiled.

"Yeh, Yuri took care of me. How is the game by the way?"

"We won!" I smiled and hugged her.

I heard someone coughing at the back. Looks like someone is jealous. Damn it's just a simple hug.

Yuri went back to his seat and I move closer to Ciro.

"You know Ferry." I said while looking at Yuri.

"What is it?" She asked with her innocent eyes.

"Yuri likes you." I said then run outside immediately.

Yuri will kill me after this, good luck to me. I saw Ciro walking towards with his narrow eyes looking at me.

"You shouldn't have done that." He said and held my waist.

"I helped him." I protested.

"But you ruined his shot to confess." He chuckled.

"I'm going to apologize." I pouted.

"When will you go to Manila?" I asked.

"I'll go later." He frowned.

"You have exams right? Goodluck! You can do it." I said giving him some motivation even if I know he will going to pass because he's going to be the best lawyer.

"Do you think I'm going to pass?" He asked.

"I think you are going to ace the exam." I said proudly.

We went out of the school. The sports fest is still ongoing but our match is over so we can do whatever we want.

"You want to try those things?" I said and pointed the street foods.

"Sure why not?" He chuckled.

I ate a lot of these before when I was young. I was afraid back then because I thought I might get disease from these foods but when you know it's safe you can eat how much you like.

"Is this safe?" He whispered.

"You must try, promise you won't get sick." I laughed.

I get a stick of chicken intestine, head of a chicken, and proben. I handed him those sticks and get another one for me. This is delicious.

I got my phone and took a picture of him while he's eating the street food. He looks so innocent and hot here.

"You didn't tell me that this is so good." He smiled.

"You never asked." I rolled my eyes.

I was about to buy a mineral water when he handed me his tumbler. Is he a boy scout? Always ready huh?

We went back to the gymnasium. It's 5:00 in the afternoon. The battle of the bands will start at exactly 6:30!

"Can we attend the battle of the bands?" I pouted.

"Sure, what time is it?"

"6:30, can you stay here till 7:30?"

"Yep, I finished all of my homework, so yeah."

"Next time orient me that you will come home so I can cook." I smiled.

"Do you know how to cook?" He chuckled.

I rolled my eyes when I remembered the first time I cook for him.

"Uhm this is for you big brat." I said while scratching my forehead.

He excitedly opened the lunch box and saw the fried chicken. It's not golden brown but pure black instead. He laughed when he saw my face getting red, this is so frustrating.

"I just want to make something for you." I pouted.

"Yes I appreciate it baby but I will have a cancer if I would eat this." He laughed.

"I'm sorry." I frowned.

"You know you just have to relax. Let me do everything ok? I will always be with you so you can count on me."

"I will learn something for you." I said proudly.

"Well I will wait for that." He chuckled.

We went to the covered court and rest on the bench while we are waiting for the battle of the bands to start.

"I was scared when we had a fight." He whispered and put his head on my shoulder.

"Why?"

"I thought I was going to lose you. It scares me." He said and starts playing with my fingers.

"I never know you get scared." I said seriously.

"I'm scared when something happens to my family. I'm scared when I can't contact you. When you're not answering my texts and calls, when you don't want to talk to me." He closed his eyes.

"I'm sorry about that."

"Please don't make me feel scared again Selena."

"I won't I promise." I smiled.

He just closed his eyes and I let him rest on my shoulders for a while. I saw Carylle running towards me and stop when he saw Ciro.

"Going to move away, let's talk later." He signed and waved his hand for a goodbye.

"Being with you means being fine and being alone means getting sick." He whispered.

"You are sweet today huh? Do you want something? Or you did something wrong?" I joked.

"Nahh, I just want to remind you every single day that I love you." He chuckled.

"I love you too." I mouthed.

"Wake me up when the event will about to start. I'll just rest for a while."

I nodded and let him rest in my shoulder. His scent makes me calm and happy, being with him was the greatest choice I ever made.

A couple of minutes ago, I heard him whispering something.

"Are you ok? I can't understand." I said quietly.

"Hmm."

"I said I can't understand."

"Be my home baby, be my home."
