Before I get ready I ate lunch and I took a bath and wear my maroon tank top and my white jeans with my Stan smith. I also bring my dior sling bag inside it was my perfume, powerbank, airpods, wallet and my phone.

Nagdrive thru muna ako sa starbuck to buy 7 drinks for us since I'll be sitting with the Rivero.

Pagkadating ko sa venue marami na rin tao ang naghihintay kasi UP vs DLSU.

Wru??

I'm with the Rivero.

Dito ka na tabi saamin

Okk malapit na ako

Ingatt

Maya-maya ay dumating na si Brent. Nakipag beso siya kila tita at saka tumabi saakin.

"Musta buhay isko?" He said.

"Okay lang naman, nothings new. People is the same but they stop hurting me physically but they're threating me by letters in my desk even in my social media acc"pagrarant ko sakanya.

"At least di na masyadong masakit unless dadamdamin mo"sabi niya kaya tinawanan ko na lang siya.

Riley is playing with my phone while waiting the game to start. There three girls who went near to us to get some pictures with Riley.

"Hi po tita can we have a picture with Riley?"they asked tita

"Yah if Riley wants to. Ask him"sagot naman ni Tita kaya lumapit ito saamin.

"Riley can we have pictures with you?"they asked Riley but I think he is not in the mood.

"Sorry but I'm playing on ate Nathalia's phone right now and I don't like to have pictures right now po sorryy po"sagot ni Riley na ikinalungkot nung mga babae.

"Ahh ok maybe next time na lang. Tita, thankyou po"paalam nila pero bago paman sila makaalis ay di inaasahan na narinig namin yung sinabi nung isa sakanila.

"Baka yung katabi ni Riley yung nagsabi na wag pumayag. Paespecial" pagkarinig ko noon nainis ako kasi wala naman akong ginawa sakanila pero may nasasabi parin sila saakin.

"Girls come here." Tawag sakanila ni Tita Abi.

"Uhm bakit po?"tanong nung isa.

"We've heard what you said kanina. Diba I said if Riley wants to have a picture with you then okay. You heard it naman diba Riley doesn't want, he was the one who talk or answered you diba? So how can you make sure that Nathalia was the one who commands Riley what to say?" I can see how annoyed Tita abi right now but she still smiling.

"Sorry po tita, sorry Nathalia. All this time po kasi ang pagkakakilala namin sakanya, She is getting all the attention of you po. Whenever we want to have pics with anyone at the team their excuse was because 'sorry we have to go Nathalia's waiting for us' that's what their saying. Nathalia's always the one why we can't talk or have pictures with them po"the girl explained.

"If you're really a fan of them you need to respect their decisions the more you're hurting the people who is important to them the more they are hurt. Nathalia is Kobe's cousin do you know that?" Tita abi questioned her.

"No po"

"That's why. Know the person first before you talk on their backs okay? I hope I will not encounter like this again. You can go na" sabi ni tita Abi at umalis na sila.

Nagsimula na rin ang game at parang chill lang ang UP kasi you can't feel the competition. Lamang ng 15 points ang UP.

Di pa 3rd quarter ay ibinaba na ng DLSU ang bola dahil hindi na nila mahabol ang score ng UP kaya panalo na sila.

Di na ako bumaba para lumapit sakanila kasi baka kung ano pa ang maissue nanaman saakin mahirap na.

"Uhm guys can I clear something? Since you're all here, I want to tell you that this past few day my cousin is been bullied almost everyday because of our fans. Last monday, our fans at UP thrown eggs and flour at her while walking at the hallway because they've been seeing her with us everyday that is because first, she is my cousin, second she is from California and she doesn't have friends here that's why she is with us everyday and me and my other team members agreed with it. Third the reason why she is now living here is because we thought that she will never suffer bullying again. I don't want that to happen again. If you can't do that for us, if you would still hurt Nathalia Paras, we'll be the one who will tell you that we will not be entertaining you guys, if you still be hurting and sending threats to her. Let's just respect each other guys! Thank you and have a great day ahead" Kobe said in front of all people here. The whole time he is talking I was crying in Brent's arms.

The team clapped because of what Kobe said. I didn't expect that he'll be doing that. The team call me to go down with them. When I get near to them they hugged me and make me cry even more.

"Yaksss ang papawis niyo" I jokingly said to them at nagtawanan kami. " But seriously thankyou to all of you, I really appreciate it. I'm really thankful to have a kuya and friends like you guys. I love you with all of my heart".

"Ang drama naman Nathalia" singit naman ni Brent.

"Inggit ka lang, love naman kita ah"sabi ko sakanya at umakto siya na kinikilig kaya nagtawanan kami.

Pagkatapos nila magshower ay pumunta kami sa bahay nila Ricci to celebrate their win. Ako na ang nag drive since pagod si Kobe at kasabay namin si Brent ngayon na napakaingay kasi sinasabayan niya yung music

"Brent ang sakit sa tenga ah"sabi ni Kobe

"Tanga, that's called music to your ears" sabi naman ni Brent kaya natawa ako lalo.

Pagkadating namin ay makikita mo ang mga sasakyan nila. Pagkapasok mo ay makikita mo kaagad ang napakalaking pinto na nakabukas at sa left side ay kung saan ang catering at sa gitna nito ay pool.

Nagdasal muna kami bago kumain at napakaingay nila. Kasama ko ngayon si Gelo.

"Ate Lia, what do girls like about a boy?" Natawa ako ng konti sa tanong niya mukhang may liligawan.

"For me, I like boys who can protect me like your kuya Kobe, uhmm.. caring, family first when it comes in family events, then yung hindi niya ako ikakahiya na isama sa lakad nila ng barkada niya, then lastly yung may pagka overprotective pero konti lang yung hindi ko mafifeel na nasasakal ako." I answered and I can feel that he is really listening.

"There's a girl that I like kasi ate and she's to mysterious. She is the who lift our mood when we are so tired doing school works and it makes me wonder how come she's doing that even she's also tired" kwento niya.

"Dalawa lang yan Gelo, first maybe ganon talaga siya or maybe she's always down when she is at home so when she's in school she don't want to feel what she's feeling at home"

"Yah maybe, she is really mysterious" sabi niya habang nakatingin sa ulap nasa terrace kasi kami.

"It's look like you two are talking about serious thing huh?" Biglang sulpot si Ricci at tumabi saakin.

"Yah and it's for me and ate Lia only" Gelo said and makes Ricci face into frown.

"Ahh ganon ah"sabi ni Ricci at bigla kaming pinunasan ng icing sa mukha.

Tumakbo kami pababa ni Gelo at kumuha din ng icing para lagyan din si Ricci kaso it turns out na lahat na kami meron at naghahabulan na.

"Sinong may pasimuno nito?" Tanong ni Tita Abi kaya nagsitigil kami.

"Si sahia po mom me and ate Lia was just having a conversation when sahia suddenly put some Icing in our face" paliwanag naman ni gelo at kami naman ay nag pipigil ng tawa.

Lumapit si Ricci kay Tita at nag sorry pero nilagyan niyan rin si Tita. Pagkatapos nun ay tumigil na kami at pinicturan kami ni Tito Pao at sinend iyon sa gc namin.

Naghugas na kami ng nga mukha at nagkanya kanya na ulit ng mga trip.

Nandito ako ngayon sa may labas ng bahay nila Ricci nakaupo sa may gutter nang biglang tumabi saakin si Ricci

"Ayaw ko na ng icing ah"sabi ko sakanya at tinawan ako

"Wala na eto naman."

"Baka hinahanap ka nila sa loob"

"Sus, bahala sila. Ikaw bakit ka nandito mag isa?" He asked me while he's playing my hair strands.

"Nagpapahangin at the same time thankful"nakangiti kong sabi.

"Thankful from what?" He curiously ask again.

"I'm thankful because I met all of you who always there for me even. You know what, I never expected to be treated like a gem. A gem that's fragile like no one can't touch that gem because someones protecting to it" he just smiled from what I've said.

"How come you never feel to be protected??"

"Diba my whole childhood life I was always being bullied. My parents never get angry or annoyed to those people who hurting me. Like your parents they are angry when someone who is hurting you or one of your siblings. That was the feeling I've never felt those time I needed it but now I know how it felts to be protected."sabi ko at biglang tumulo ang luha ko.

"Awww" sabay sabay nilang sabi sa likod ko kaya natawa ako.

"The whole time you're all listening to us?"tumango sila.

"Group hugggg!" Sigaw ni Brent kaya we group hug.

The night end well full of laugh and enjoyment.
