Kissed By Fire

I have played different sports before. Soccer, Basketball, Baseball, Badminton, – name it. I have almost tried everything but out of all those sports, I really just stick with volleyball. Volleyball is not just a part of me. It is me and I am willing to do everything for it. Particularly, it is to give honor to my school and improve myself as a player because someday, I want to be in the National team. I know, it’s a long shot but a girl can dream, right? And if I am to dream, I’ll make sure it’s big. “Sir please, just give me a chance. I can do this!” I insisted, chasing after him as I speak because he’s on his way to the gym already and I am not even allowed to do this but I’m hell bent in trying. It’s class hours but they’re serious with training already because two weeks from now, the interschool league is bound to begin. Thankfully, he stopped walking then faced me. “How many times do I have to tell you, Ms. Fonacier that there is just no way? Just accep

When I reached home, I changed into house clothes already then face my laptop. I intend to research strategies that I can suggest to help our team. Maven knows a lot about this but I swore to myself that I won’t ask for his help because aside from the fact that I want to do it on my own, I know that asking for his help is also inadvertently asking for Coach Vicente’s help too. Since for sure, what Maven’s going to teach me is also what he has learned already from him. It’s been hours that already passed that I didn’t notice until I heard patterned knocks on my door. Two loud knocks and three soft, slow knocks. I can’t help but smile. “Come in, Kuya GD!” I yelled then the door opened up. My brother entered who obviously just came from a gang war because I saw he still has his brass knuckles on and his white shirt has blood stains on it. I rolled my eyes at the sight of it. “Didn’t I tell you before to at least wear something black if you are to

“Well at least we tried right?” Trina asked as she sipped on her frappe. I just smiled at that.“Yep, it’s not bad at all. Like at least we were able to prove ourselves that we have improved. Imagine, Phylisse Academy didn’t really win that big against us last time so meaning, we have a chance to beat the other teams,” I said hopefully. I know it may sound delusional but I am not ready to give up just yet.“Hey, Arya! It was a nice game last time!” one of our schoolmates approached us. I do not know her name but as far as I can remember, she’s one of those few students who watch our games.“Thank you, and I really do apologize if we were not able to win,” I said shamefully even though, deep inside I think they’re already used to it.“Hey, don’t be sorry. I actually have this feeling that you will be able to win this time, judging your performance last time,” she said

Snow is that kind of person who’s really vain that I bet even the under of her shoes are flawless. She’s being hated by a lot but if I am being honest, she’s really beautiful. She’s got a red hair, milky skin, towering height that enunciates the curves on her body. She could actually pass as a model. When she was already near me, it also happens that she’s also done with what she is doing. I faked a smile when our eyes met. “Hi, Arya,” she greeted me all smiles that looks very fake it made me wince. “Hello, Snow,” I greeted back in the same tone making sure she knows that I am also faking it just like her. She just smirked at that then continue walking. When I looked around, let it be girls or boys, everyone’s eyes are on her. Every boy in this school obviously wants to bang her. Even Rennan. However, when my twin brother noticed her personality, he changed his mind. I just resumed walking as well. After all, I do not want to be dubbed as a fa

“Anyway, before I forget, how was the game, Princess? Isn’t it you had your first game last time?” Kuya CL asked so my attention was instantly averted to him. “Yes kuya. As usual we did not win but we improved! The team captain of our opponents even hugged me after the game!” They just smiled at that. I know they are worried about me since it’s no secret that the reputation of our volleyball team isn’t really good since we haven’t won any matches yet but none of them have managed to stop me. Even dad back then asked me many times if I really wanted to play volleyball or should I just go with fencing or martial arts since I also exceled on both, but even him was not able to convince me otherwise. “How about you and Maven, hija? Everything good?” Dad asked that if I was not able to stop myself, I could’ve just looked at him and do not say anything. But then, I smiled. After all, I do not want him to worry about my stupid love life. “We’re okay, dad. Goi
