Good morning. :)

read

I woke up with an idea.

read

We're all playing like shit. Everyone's off. Not just me. The pressure's getting to all of us.

read

This is exactly what I didn't want to happen if they found out about my secrets. But then shit went down and now chemistry's off-beat.

Guys are half a step slow trusting my calls. And I feel that, so now I'm second-guessing reads that used to be automatic. Overthinking stuff I shouldn't even have to think about.
read

It's not that they're not listening. It's this half second of hesitation that wasn't there before, and that half second is the whole game.

read

Nobody's said it out loud. I don't think they even know they're doing it. But I feel it every time I call something.

Not Russ and Teo but everyone else.

read

So...I need your opinion.

read

I talk to Coach and suggest a cookout at his house. We used to do it before.

So everyone gets an actual task, prepping, grilling, cleanup. Nobody's just standing around doing nothing. Point is everyone has to depend on each other for something small and stupid that has nothing to do with basketball. Rebuild that on the side, away from all the pressure, so it carries back onto the court.

read

If we can trust each other not to burn the freaking barbecue, maybe we can trust each other during the game again too.

read

Then small bonfire out back for Roast Night. No speeches, no forced sharing, no agenda, just roasting. Which is right up Teo's alley.

read

Figured getting everyone's hands busy and laughing at each other might loosen things up before our last game in R2. What do you think?

read

Hay. I miss hearing your brain.

read

I'll talk to Coach and let you know.

read

Have a great day, Mai. :)

Capt. Vargas, #7

Cookout at Coach's place today after training. Mandatory.

@Piencenaves, #10 will send out task assignments. Siya na rin bibili ng mga kailangan. Just be ready to actually do something when you get there.

Bonfire after. Roast night. Everyone roasts somebody, no exceptions.

Piencenaves, #10

BAKIT AKO

Capt. Vargas, #7

Diba nagpupumilit kang co-captain.

Yan, para may ambag ka. Tsaka takot ka kay Coach diba?

Ang wala...tatanggalin ko sa team

Joke

See you later

Coach was very positive about it.

Hopefully it works.

Here's your riddle for today, I'm tired of the READ thing:

Thousands of voices live inside me. None of them are alive. What am I?

library

FUCK I almost jumped in class.

How the fuck do you guess so fast?

read

It's gotta be harder tomorrow. I'll try again.

But good job.

read

Again, remember that first letter.

4:55 PM

Your friend Ronnie has a very mean glare.

read

Training lang ako, baby.

read

Agh. Thought that would've triggered a reaction.

read

Anyway, laters, Yvanna. :)

7:56 PM

Finishing up. The 3 of us are heading to Coach's in a bit, the rest will follow. Galit pa rin si Teo but he'll live.

read

Yvanna 😾

8:24 PM

Everyone's here. Never mind that I threatened to take them off the team if they weren't.

read

Teo's on grilling with Matt and some of the other guys. Hopefully the house doesn't burn down.

read

Russ, JC, etc. took prep seriously though. Chopping like they're on Master Chef. Everyone's actually talking, so small miracle.

read

I feel like I'm in Overcooked.

Yvanna 😾

9:38 PM

Food's good. I'm surprised nobody got hurt.

read

Yvanna 😾

10:11 PM

Okay, I got roasted for the La Salle thing. Which I saw coming.

read

They're not mad, just said they would've appreciated it if they heard it from their captain first. Mababaw lang daw, but they still felt a bit hurt. Which is valid.
read

I apologized of course, and it didn't sit heavy for long. Then they got back to roasting me for being whipped for you. Apparently it's been obvious for a while.

read

Then we roasted Miggy for gleeking. Don't tell him I told you, that's a team secret.
read

Nobody touched the pills thing directly. Even Teo knew that one wasn't a joke yet.

read

Anyway, it's a good night. :) I'm being good and updating you, o.

Heading home.

I wish missing you got easier with practice.

Back at Blue.

Time for my nighttime routine of falling asleep to your interviews.

It's not the same as talking to you, but it's enough to trick my heart for a little while.

read

Goodnight, my Yvanna.

See you in my dreams. You smile at me there.
