My Baby?

"Yes my favorite cousin, his previous school just lost a legend so mind you. Don't take your game seriously on Intramurals huh? Don't make a big effort just to prove to the audience that you are better as a captain because you will just only turn out to be a player." Gio stated for a long count of seconds as he laughed hard while teasing his cousin.

"But, he will be the captain for taekwondo right? Even though he will lose the position for basketball?" I asked worriedly and when my eyes darted in Xian's direction, I noticed how his jaw clenched and I don't know why… he looked annoyed? Or angry?

"Yeah of course, and he will be still a basketball player on our team. But, he is just a substitute player only, hahaha." Gio said and he burst a laughing again which made me laugh too.

MJosh jokingly punched Gio's arm and Gio caressed it fastly like was literally hurt and I saw him look at me while I was busy eating the egg pie that he bought for me.

"Why Lei? Are you afraid already that you would not see this j*rk on the basketball court? Hmm… someone was concerned! Awiiiieee!" He said and ladies and gentleman, Gio found a new victim again.

"You crazy kid! Of course I was not the only one who is concerned because thousand of USTAians will be very disappointed if they will not see and not cheer MJosh' surname." I said defensively and I suddenly saw a smile formed on MJosh lips and he laughed softly as he stared at me. He even winked at me which I laughed on.

"Na ah, that is just fine if they would not see MJosh' face because he will be busy kicking ass. And look," he said and pointed at Xian. "We have a very handsome, fresh and very hot new player here that will surely burn the basketball court. Right Mr. France Xian Cuevas?" Gio asked while clapping his hands gracefully.

And when I glanced at Xian he was already grinning while shaking his head, and like MJosh, he even winked at me. Why the hell on earth do these people keep on winking at me? He is like, angry earlier right? Then what now?

"Uh, excuse me. Can we have a photo of you?" Suddenly a group of girls approached our spot and that made me surprised that they really had the guts to have a picture with these guys.

"Sure," Gio answered confidently and the girls immediately positioned themselves to have a picture with the two reyeses. Some of them were blushing too as they smiled on the camera taken one by one and then they glanced at Xian who was still busy eating like me and they approached him and since they are a count of five to eight girls? Well, our table just got more noisier now that girls are being crazy about these three men with me.

"Okay," Xian answered shortly and I was surprised when all of them positioned themselves at the back and a girl with a chinky eyes approached me and she said, "can you take a photo of us?"

And me being a role model student, I flashed my humble smile and nodded as I was about to get the phone camera and stand up but Xian's hand immediately pulled me back on my sit and he said, "no, if they want a photo of me then, you must be present on that photo." He said snobbishly which made the girls grasped and the girl with a chinky eyes looked at me confusedly like she didn't know what to do if she'll say sorry or what.

"Sorry," she uttered and I nodded softly.

I saw how intense the stare of MJosh to Xian and back to me and he shook his head and when I caught him staring at us, he acted like he was busy checking his phone. What seems to be the problem?

"Don't worry girls, place at the back of Xian and Leiva and flash your smile!" Gio said and he get the phone camera without the chinky eyes girl permission and suddenly we heard a click and I flashed my smile but I suddenly felt Xian's stare from my peripheral vision so I stared back at him while still hearing the sound of the phone camera.

"W-what?" I asked trying to not stutter but it seems that I failed.

"Nothing," he answered shortly and he did not even give attention to the girls when they bid their goodbye so I just waved my hand for them and they smiled at me the same as Gio and MJosh.

I roamed around my eyesight and girls are really hitting on the three gorgeous men with me despite that the maturity they had was still mot that fully developed but they charm and charisma are full already to be stared by a number of girls.

"You must train yourself to the acts of those girls Bro, you are an instant celebrity already huh." Gio commented as we continued eating and Gio was teasing his cousin again about MJosh being a basketball player.

"Why are you talking to your cousin like that?" I ask but it's more like I am complaining.

"Yeah, and see, he was not respecting me already. I'll gonna tell all your stupid acts to Auntie." MJosh said, second the motioning me.

"Tell what?" Gio asked like he did not clearly hear what MJosh said and MJosh just rolled his eyes which I find cute so I chuckled and he smiled at me before he talked.

"I'll gonna tell her all your stupid acts in a brief and full information way," MJosh said.

"Well well well, says the one who looked stupid in term of-" he said and looked at MJosh before he continued speaking and MJosh glanced back at him. "Whatever." He shortly said and did not continue what he was about to say.

"And hey Leiva, why are you not teaming up with Xian? He is the one who paid for your food right?" Gio complained and I looked at the 'guy who paid' my lunch and shyly flashed my cute smile to him but after a few seconds, he looked away like he was avoiding me because I have a very transmittable disease.

"I forgot it, sorry," I said to him and he stared back at me with a blank expression and Gio laughed again.

Why the hell was this kid trying to pissed off all

people today? And why was he so energized? I wish I had the energy like him ready to fight an annoying moment with my classmates.

When we were already done with our food, and we were on our way to the stairs already, students were staring again at the guys who were with me right now and even when we reached the first floor and we distanced ourselves from the cafeteria.

I was the one who bid my goodbye first since we had a meeting in the school paper's office but then Gio interrupted me by talking first when we finally left the cafeteria.

"Guys, since there were twenty minutues left in the lunch break and before my first class. I'll just go to the COMLAB huh? Bye!" He said as he was shouting the word bye and we just watched him until he disappeared on our eyesight.

"Ungrateful child," MJosh commented out of nowhere.

"Hmm… how about you MJosh? Are you going to your classroom already?" I asked while students were passing us by without looking at our direction.

The noise of this place was increasing since they may be done on their lunch break. And seeing two male Greek Gods looking at me right now may be a big envy to them. Bit I just ignored it and continued to talk to MJosh not minding that Xian was still here with us.

Jom must be in the office already waiting for me, I checked my wrist watch and to my surprise, I just had five minutes already to walk and go to the office and wait for the other board members in the school paper editorial board officers.

"Maybe I can walk with you going to our building?" He offered but I was about to reject his offer since I will be attending a meeting when suddenly a baritone voice of Xian interrupted him as he spoke.

"No bro, thanks for that but you can go now to your classroom alone. Because I'll be joining 'my Baby'." He said that made me and MJosh jaw drop because Xian emphasized the word Baby like he was literally hitting on MJosh.

But the words he emphasized hardly keep playing on my mind like a broken stereo that needed to be fixed and stop playing the same line of a certain song.

My baby...

My baby...

My baby...

And why the hell again that my heart keeps beating rapidly just by that corny endearment of Xian? Am I still normal piece of sh*t?
