gagawa sana ako ng data ni Drei.. pero siguro bukas na lang ipopost. ahehe. isang mahabang update. [hr] [b]Chapter 06[/b] * * * “Tuesdays and Thursdays are great days for you huh?” “Eh, why is it so, Lou?” Sam was curious. “Don’t tell me you’re sad that Will is not in our class? “Will?” “Will – the Villanueva guy!” “Oh. I wasn’t familiar with his name, that’s why. Well, I was surprised that he is not in our class today… but…he’s in our class last week right? Wait, hey, how did you know about that?” “First off, I would like to remind you that I am at this school since pre-school. Since Will applied for an athletic program upon enrollment, he was given a temporary schedule with offs during Tuesdays and Thursdays, and if he didn’t manage to get into the team, he’ll be given a regular schedule. Since he’s a player now, he won’t be attending a regular class anymore.” “Wait, are you telling me he’s a varsity of this school?” “Why are you surprised? He’s good at basketball since high school.” “Whaaat? Basketball? Since when? How come I didn’t know about that? To think that my brother is a great star player??” Sam was shocked with what Lou had said. “Your brother didn’t tell you? Actually, it’s top secret. And Will told me about it personally.” “Well, he told me few days ago that they have a new addition to the team, as good as him. But I didn’t believe him. No one compares to the skills of my brother. That’s for sure. – Wait, you told me Will told you personally. Are you and Will good friends?” “We’re in speaking terms,” Lou doesn’t want the topic to be focused on him and Will “anyway, I was wondering why you don’t have any girl friends?” “How many of us girls are in this class? Six, right? Three are part of the pep squad; two have boyfriends in class, so how can I hang out with them? I am not a part of the pep, nor planning to; and I definitely don’t have a boyfriend.” That wasn’t actually the reason. Sam was afraid that girls would just befriend her because of her brother. She had experienced before that a girl was so nice to her, and even like a best friend. The girl was expecting that Drei would court her since she is a friend of his beloved sister, but then Drei have no interest on her, and upon knowing it, the girl started to hate Sam. She hated her to the point that she bullied her. “Oh is that so. Well, at least you ended up being friends with me. I mean, I’m a good friend right?” Lou was pleased with himself. Sam can’t help but laugh. “Hey, what’s funny? I’m good right?” “Yeah right. Hahaha.” “By the way Sam, I'll just drop by the department. I need to pass some stuffs to the head. I'll see you later okay?” Samantha was left alone in the grounds. Since the first day, she had never roamed around the campus again. There is still time, and lots of it. She wandered around, as if searching for nothing. She was in front of the Engineering Building. The sky is very clear. She was looking up when she noticed a piece of cloth like being stuck on the rooftop. It’s as if someone was there. She decided to go up. Sam used the elevator up to the fourth floor. It’s the Electronics and Communication Engineering - Computer Engineering Floor. She went up the fifth floor using the stairs since the elevator is only upto fourth. She walked along the hallway. The fifth floor seemed to be seldom used. It’s like some extra rooms, for some occasional purposes. Finally, she turned right at the far end of the foyer, and climbed up a little more flights of stairs. The door to the rooftop is a little opened. The cloth that she saw was actually a school uniform. A guy’s polo, and the owner was there. He had his back facing the door, so basically Sam can’t see his face. He has the same built as the person she knew. No. That can’t possibly be Will. Although they seem to have the same height and body built, they have different hair color. Will’s was a black, messy one, while this guy have dark brown – more like chocolate brown and a bit untidy. The person appeared to be a loner. Sam decided to approach him. But before she could ever take her right foot to step forward, her phone vibrated. [quote][b]1 message received[/b] [i]Hey sami, mit me @ d caf..we nid 2 fix sum stufs 4 2m’s chem..[/i][/quote] It was Lou. Sam can walk through and approach the guy. She still has loads of time. But she doesn’t like the idea of someone waiting for her, and they really need to fix their stuffs for Chemistry, so she dashed off to the caf. They are groupmates – Sam, Will and Lou. Since Lou said that he’ll take care of Will’s work, they need to do their lab reports together, and she hated the fact that Will is not helping even if it’s Lou’s choice. But what can she do? Lou is the leader. * * * “Captain, I’ve processed the necessary requirements. By the way, here’s my file.” Will handed the green, glossy envelope with the school’s logo to Drei. “Wilbert Emmanuel Villanueva. You’ve got a long name huh.” Drei grinned at him. “Mr. Neil Andrei Villegas, please don’t say it out loud for me to hear. We both know we don’t want to hear our full names right?” Will sneered back. “Okay, this is just one time. I won’t say your full name again, just don’t say mine too.” Both guys were laughing and seemed to be getting along fine. “Before I forgot, let me introduce you to the team. You might have known some of them from last week, but not all were present during the try-outs.” The team warmly welcomed Will. They were all talking to each other about – well, you know, and we all know – basketball. “Guys, I'll be back later. You can have a break or continue practicing I'll just file Will’s,” Drei raised the green envelope, “and update all your files and see if some of you still qualifies.” He stared at the players from afar as if frightening them. “Ows. As if we failed? Haha. Drei, you can’t frighten me. I have clean records.” Someone shouted as Drei turned his back to leave the gym. It was James Jeremy Tan, fondly called as Double J, DJ, or JJ. He’s in the same year as Drei. He and the captain are bestfriends, and one of the most impish players RNU have. “Hi Wilbert!” The guy with the number 16 jersey joined their discussion. Will looked at him with piercing eyes. “Sorry. I forgot that you don’t want to be called [i]Wilbert[/i].” David chuckled. He had known Wilbert for almost a year. They had been rivals in highschool basketball, but that was just on court. In fact, they are very good friends since they have a common friend. Actually, David Anthony Marasigan is the boyfriend of Will’s cousin. “Dude, welcome to the team. By the way, I’m Mico, number 10. Second year.” Mike Colin de Chavez is a happy-go-lucky person. But he can be naughty at times. “So have you heard about the captain’s sister?” He whispered after JJ has left to train some newbies. “Huh? Sister?” Will was very clueless. “Just as I thought.” Mico shook his head, laughing. “It’s not actually a secret or anything, but only a few people know about the captain’s sister. We can’t talk about her if the captain’s here though. He’s like a bit overprotective when it comes to her.” Everyone in the circle nodded. Most were just a year old in the team – not at all veteran, so were all enthralled just the thought of the captain’s sister. “I bet you’ll also like her. I’m telling you, she’s a natural charmer. But then, I just can’t find a way to be close to her. You see, I’m afraid of the captain.” Thoughts were running in Drei’s mind. [i]So Drei have a sister. Villegas. Wait. Was that the same surname as that Samantha? But they never mentioned how old she is, and where she studies. Still, there’s a possibility.[/i] “Hey! You seem like planning something evil! I’m telling you I have known about her first, so if you’re planning to take her away from me, you better think twice.” Mico said, half warningly, half smiling. “As if I care.” As if he cares? We all know he cares.
