CARLA"Quit staring and get ready for the game," Jessica chuckled, walking towards a hidden corner to get ready.I glared at her with rage, almost having the thought of racing at her and ripping that outfit into pieces."Unbelievable!""I just hate that girl.""How I wish they removed her from the team. She doesn't deserve to be among us."They all complained, frowning at Jessica's presence. But I know no matter what she does, she can't steal the spotlight."Just ignore her. She can't do anything. Let's head out there and cheer our team, " I encouraged the girls, leaving them chanting with delight.As soon as we were done dressing, the coach came over to get us."Alright girls, it's time. Let's move it, " He said, clapping his hands rapidly to get us set.When he was doing this... "Jessica?" We all saw the surprise look on his face on seeing Jessica in her different outfit."What is this? Is this what you're meant to put on?" He questioned, looking displeased with her appearance.An
CARLAThere was a half time in the game, with every player heading in to get set for the next half. The others and I came to attend to our girls who were out cheering in our absence.They looked exhausted, yet they were so excited. "I feel so alive!""The guys were scoring like crazy!""We are going to win this for sure."They cheered, taking in some drinks. Didn't want to give them anything more than that so they won't feel too heavy when we're carrying out the next stunt.We all sat down, talking and drinking when Jessica walked in with a swollen face, straight into a different path. The girls saw her and couldn't help but laugh."We saw her sitting on the bench. It was so hilarious to see her face all swollen like a pufferfish," One said, giggling.The others were busy telling them how coach scolded her and told her to stay aside, when my eyes caught sight of Pedro coming from that same route Jessica was taking.I saw when they both stopped to look at each other, before Jessica
CARLA"What are you talking about? I don't know what you're saying," Jessica denied whatever Diego was accusing her off.But with all we have seen so far, there was no doubt that she spiked out friend's drink. And Diego wasn't going to let it slide easily."I can see you're trying to act all innocent. How about we check your locker then. Shall we?" He glared at Jessica.I could see her whole body trembling with her legs shaking.She hovered her gaze around to see everyone staring and showing their hatred for her.She groaned but refused to comply, still standing on her ground that she was innocent."Maybe you've placed something in my locker and want to frame me," She accused Diego openly. That almost got me mad. I was ready to fire back at her, but I was in pain to make any move."Careful Carla, " Mom cautioned me, as she and Pedro helped me to my feet. All I could do was leap while watching the drama."You must be a complete fool to be unaware of the new installment to the lockers
CARLAAll these time, the truth has been right in front of me, but I chose to ignore and act absentminded to it.I thought I could shove it off and embrace the life before me, but the more I tried with Diego around, the more harder it became for me.The day I left his home after staying with him for a month, I felt a spark that ignited in my heart for Diego.I had taken it as a normal thing but along the line, I slowly began to understand the meaning of that shimmer. But still, I buried it deep, reminding myself that it was just me being silly.After all, we had sex countless of times and it could be that horniness driving me nuts.That was what I thought, till Diego professed his feelings for me.That's how I knew I've been lying to myself, to my heart, to my own face.I've always loved him but never realized it. I kept engaging myself with Pedro, our parents wedding and other things, hurting not just myself, but Diego as well.But I don't want that any more.I no longer want to kee
CARLAShould I call this the best day of my life or what?I woke to the sound of glasses clinging right next to me. I opened my eyes and found a tray of my breakfast right in bed. This bloomed my heart because it was Diego who brought it to the room by himself, just to serve me."Good morning, sunshine," He greeted with a beautiful smile across his face, leaning down next to me with a kiss planting on my cheek. What marveled me was the way he dressed. He wore an apron around his bare chest, serving me a nice yummy breakfast.The aroma from the food was just enough to jitter my heart, but... Come on!I couldn't even look elsewhere without staring at that charming body of his."How's your ankle?" He asked, placing the tray beside me properly.My eyes where still on his chest when he asked that question. Humming out first, I said, "It's okay I guess.""You guess? " He chuckled gaining my attention fully on his face.I settled my eyes on him, watching him take a seat right next to me.
CARLAThe week was going in a swift way that I couldn't help but beg the calendar to slow down."Where are you racing to? Please go slow!" I pleaded in front of the calendar in my room, almost falling on my knees. That's when I heard a familiar voice from behind, laughing at me. With a frown across my face, I turned back and saw Diego watching me from the bed.He was busy attending to a work on his system while making fun of me at the same time."Why are you laughing? Won't you beg along? I just have today and tomorrow with you. Then I'll head back home to Mom. Argh!" I groaned, sliding to the ground.But Diego kept laughing at me.I was now on my knees before the wall with my head against it, patiently waiting for a miracle to intervene."Once these days are over, I won't be able to spend another night with you, " I grumbled at this, feeling upset.That's when I heard Diego sigh from behind with the sound of his laptop closing.That brightened my mood because I understood that sou
CARLAThe remaining days went beautifully well.Diego made those short moments so romantic between us, that I almost wished those days wouldn't end. But it had to come to an end eventually. When it did, Mom, on Sunday evening, came over with Mr Smith to get me. But before I followed her to our home, Mom told Diego and I that her wedding dress was set and she would like us to follow them to the designer's store in two days to get it.She showed us the pictures of the dress and it left my heart aching with sadness."Just a week plus and we'll be a big family," Mr Smith said, caressing Mom in his hold.When I saw how they were getting all lovey dovey and cozy, I directed my eyes at Diego. He was just smiling at them both, congratulating them.And I had to join him in doing the same, feeling troubled about the relationship between the both of us.When I went in to get my things and leave, Diego and I met up in my room, staring at each other lost.There was no need to voice out my worri
CARLAI joined the guys at the gym to have a crazy moment. The party was a blast, and I was even more amused with the fact that the rector, and even the Chancellor himself who came back from a long trip, didn't come to stop us from making such noises. You could say maybe they are in agreement with this loud and crazy party. In other words, they gave us the go ahead to celebrate.Haha!"Hey Carla," One of the girls interrupted me from my dance.She is among the girls who used to be Jessica's friend and teammate then. "What's up?" I asked, still swaying my body to the rhythm.She held me by the hand and said, after drawing closer to my point, "I know I shouldn't be poking my nose in this matter, but..."She hovered her gaze left and right, like one who doesn't want to be heard or seen with me.It felt... Suspicious.When she faced me, she said, " I know it's not my business, but are you and Pedro having a problem?"When she asked I felt a sudden skip in my heart over her question.A
