Take Me There

WHEN A DOOR CLOSES 2 WINDOWS OPEN

WHEN A DOOR CLOSES, TWO WINDOWS OPEN.

So I bought new markers last night after going to my refresher class. No silver Sharpies though :( But I bought :

A gold marker
Sharpie marker for Clothes
Hot Aqua marker
Key Lime Marker

I love my markers. :)) And instead of finishing what I'm supposed to do, I'm going to narrate what happened EXACTLY after I fled review classes.

D-Derik
M-Margot
K-Kirk
A-Alec

D and I decided to leave since Math was next. Our main agenda was to buy a shirt and a jersey, but things went wayward when all of the stores where you could buy such things were closed. I thought of going to where the players practice and D wanted to come. We asked this guard where the gym was and he pointed to us the big building next to AHS. While walking:

D: "Naririnig mo ba yun?"
M: "Alin? Wala naman eh."
D: "May nagpa-practice sa loob."
M: "Onga noh. No, I shouldn't get excited. Baka ma disappoint ako."

We found the entrance to the big place and we saw a guard. I pretended to read the advisory and then I entered the place. It was a surprise that the guard didn't hinder our way through, and so I continued. Saw that the basketball court was on the second floor and up we went.

Second floor:
We saw the basketball court and to my surprise, K was the first person I saw. :"> I told D to look and we saw the players. I think all of them were there, which was awesome :D We decided to go upstairs to have a better view, and to explore. While walking up the stairs:
D:*goes ahead of M*
M:*is left behind but looks at the players, sees K then stares at him, starstruck*
K:*looks at the stairs area then sees M, stares back without blinking*
M:*stops walking, still staring, deciding on whether to smile, wave or do nothing. Picked the last one, but certainly her eyes were smiling*
K:*still staring, probably waiting for M to smile or wave. Or just plain weirded out that some stranger's staring at him*
M:*still staring, waiting for K to look away first*
K:*looks away, shifts attention to court*
M:*looks at D* "Tinitigan niya rin ako!" *dies*

THE STARING PART HAPPENED WITHIN A SPAN OF 5 SECONDS OR MORE. *FAINTS*

After that, I was sweating like mad. Like my sweat glands were faucets opened and I could feel my face becoming hot. Then I took pictures.

M:"Ang init noh?"
D:"Malamig kaya, nandito ka lang" *sabay tawa*
M:"Weh. Akyat tayo."

Upstairs was the running area. From there you could see through the whole court. And I took a few more shots.

And my favorite:

Then one of the staff saw us.
Staff:"May training ba kayo?"
US:"... wala po."
Staff:"Bawal kasi mag loiter dito eh. Kung gusto niyo manuod, dun kayo sa bleachers"
M:"...san po yung bleachers?"
Staff:"Dun oh *points to seats near the court*"
US:"aaahh sige po."
Staff:"Dun yung daan oh *points way*"
US:"Thank you po." *walks to bleachers*

The bleachers were 2-3 meters away from the court. @_@ We saw all of them up close. I saw K up close :"> I tried taking pictures again but then the guy said that taking pictures aren't allowed while the practice is going on. So I kept my camera.

A came and then it was time for D to go. I decided to go too. Before going out, I stared at K again, and he was doing the indian sit, and occassionally glancing at our side (which was the stairs where we entered) I was hesitating to approach him because there was this sign before you enter the court "Only players, coaches and staff are allowed beyond this point" and it doesn't even have a fence to block me from entering! I was thinking it through for 5 minutes or less because D's fetcher was there. Then decided not to pursue my master plan because I feel too shy to call him and ask for a picture. We went out and D ran ahead of us to go to ISO.

Then we went back in. Watched them again. K and some of his team mates practiced shooting at the goal in front of us. After shooting, he looked embarrassed and kept himself from smiling. Such a cutie :"> Maybe because he could feel my eyes on him =)) Then Dad and my sister came, and we waited for them to be over but it's taking them a long time. So dad wanted to leave already since it was mom's birthday and he wanted to eat. He insisted that we should go already. :| What could we do? He's the boss. Why can't I have a license already? D:

Even though my dad did that, I was still happy. Mostly happy :) My eyes and ♥ had its fill for the week. :">
