YOU WERE THE FIRST PERSON I'VE EVER RIDDEN WITH THIS. 

His words kept repeating in my mind. It was already ten o'clock at night, but I still couldn't sleep.

I picked up my phone from the desk and immediately opened my Facebook account. The first thing I saw was a shared post from Eya. She's always on my news feed because of her shared posts.

Pumunta ako sa search button at tinype ang pangalan ni Santiago.


Many accounts and pictures appeared, including pictures of him that looked like they were straight out of high-end magazines.

There were also numerous videos, especially the highlights from his exhilarating basketball game earlier today. His athletic prowess was clearly on display, captivating the attention of many.

There were also highlights from the other members of the varsity boys, especially Jaxon. He was reportedly a former varsity player at their university, which is why he was able to quickly join the vboyz.

Kaya pala ang galing din nitong maglaro!

Tiningnan ko pa ang ibang mga videos. Dumako ako sa isang video na ini-interview ang vboyz pagkatapos nilang matalo ang red bulls.


The interviewer asked, “How did your team work together to secure this victory?”


Charles answered, “Our team worked together really well to secure this victory. Also, we're happy to announce our newest member, Sandoval.”


“Wow congratulations!”


Lumapit ang interviewer kay Jaxon, “What you can say about your team, Mr. Sandoval?”


His expression remained unchanged, as it always was. There was nothing new to decipher or interpret from his demeanor. 


“They're good.” Tipid niyang sagot sa interviewer.


Natapos na ang video at nagulat ako nang makita ang views nito. Five hundred thousand views at mahigit one hundred thousand naman yung likes. The video was posted three hours ago.

Dumako ako sa mga accounts na lumabas nang sinearch ko ang pangalan ng facebook account ni Santiago. Maraming mga fake accounts pero sa tingin ko ang totoong account niya ay yung may maraming followers.

I clicked on Santiago's account with fifty thousand followers. His profile picture showcased the jersey he always wore whenever he played basketball.

Nag-scroll down ako at nakita ang kanyang post thirty minutes ago. Pictures ng grupo niya habang may hawak na certificate at trophy. Sa caption naman ay nakalagay ang


'We made it, again.'


His post garnered numerous comments and likes since it was set to public. Some of the comments were congratulating the new member, Jaxon.

Tinamaan na ako ng antok kaya pinatay ko na ang aking phone hanggang sa naramdaman ko na lamang ang pagtakip ng talukap ng mga mata ko.



DAYS had passed. Paulit-ulit lang ang nangyayare, papasok nang maaga na fresh, mag-aaral, uuwing stress. Malapit na ang  finals at parang walang pumapasok sa utak ko.

Alas tres na nang hapon at isang subject na lang ay uwian na naman. Mabuti na lang ay nagbigay lang nang activity na sa next week na lang ipapasa dahil may meeting raw ang mga faculties for our upcoming event which is yung grand ball.
