CHAPTER 28
LIGHT!


Narrator: Back inside my house, I was sitting in my room lying on my bed, staring at the ceiling. A minute later, the lights came back on.

Jay: Oh shit… light! (as I got up from my bed)

Narrator: Outside in my living room…

Mr. Castro: Wow, may ilaw na!

D-Nort: (looking out window) Pati sa labas ng ilaw lahat ang bahay!

Koji: (seeing TV being turned back on to Lakers game) Na labas nay yun game!!

Jay: (as I head out to living room) What’s happenin’?

Koji: Aww MAYN! Lakers up by one again!

Mr. Castro: One na naman ang lamang?

Narrator: Me, my dad, and uncle D-Nort rushed to the family room to find that the Lakers were up 108 – 107.

Jay: Shoot, Spurs have the ball.

Narrator: As we saw, Duncan, doubled by Odom and Gasol, threw up a very awkward layup high in the air and sank in, much to our surprise.

Mr. Castro/ D-Nort/ Jay/ Koji: P********ang tira yan!/ Whoa!!/ Holy SHIT!/ Daaym!

Jay: Are you kiddin’ me?!

Mr. Castro: Na haggis lang ang p*********.

D-Nort: Oo…? Chinamba pa… tsss…

*

Narrator: Back at the Town Center where all the lights have popped back on…

Jamilla: Aba… buti na lang ng ilaw nang lahat.

Maja: Oo nga eh.

Nina: (sighing) Bakit na ka ganitong mundo naitn? Panay salvahe ang ng daanan natin. Dyos ko…

Narrator: Suddenly, a siren sounded from their left. When everyone turned, they saw the ambulance, fire truck, and two police cars approaching them.

Walter: Hah thank God they came early.

*

Narrator: Back inside my house, we continued watching the Lakers game as it winded down to the final minute, Kobe dribbling the ball.

D-Nort: Don’t go for 3! Don’t GO FOR 3!!

Narrator: But once Kobe dribbled it to the sideline, he fired the 3 ptr while being guarded by Bowen.

Jay: Oh NOO!!

Narrator: Fortunately, the ball sank in, and we all cheered.

Jay: YEEEEAAHH!!!

Koji: Wooohooo!!!

Narrator: So we all high-fived each other after that shot. The Lakers were already leading by 2, 111 – 109, with 33 seconds left in regulation. A timeout was called by the Spurs afterwards.

*

Back out at the Town Center where Robby, Chris, and Bobby were walking down the path where Wal Mart was located…

Bobby: Dude, they’d used to have blackouts like this back in New York, and strong gusts of wind would break down almost every building.

Robby: Seriously?

Bobby: Yeah, I’m not kiddin’.

Robby: (changing subject) I wonder how Jay reacted when he got my text.

Bobby: Dude, he’d probably already talk to her about it.

Robby: Yeah and he’d ask like a million questions in every single minute. (laughing)

Bobby: Cuuzz…

Chris: I think she and Jay would fit together perfectly, don’t ya think?

Robby: Umm…

Bobby: Well, if she’s THAT good in DDR, she actually knows how to dance. He can’t.

Robby: It doesn’t matter cuz they’re both good in DDR.

Bobby: But SHE’s actually better than him.

Chris: Wull, least that’s something they have in common. They play DDR.

Robby: Yeah…

*

Narrator: Back inside my house as we were watching the final 20 seconds of the game, Parker dribbled the ball toward the basket, but passed it to Roger Mason who was open on the sideline. Fisher hurried over there trying to bother the opponent, who was about to attempt the shot. However, Mason faked, and drew contact on Fish as he fired away with his feet spread apart on an awkward position. Much to our shock, the ball went in the basket as the crowd roared.

Mr. Castro: P*******!

Jay: Oh DAAYM!!

D-Nort: Waah! Dyos ko naman YAN!!

Mr. Castro: Ano ginawa ni Fisher?

Koji: Maayn I can’t BELIEVE this!!

Jay: Let’s hope he doesn’t make the FT.

Narrator: So as Mason was at the charity strike dribbling the ball, he threw it up, and sank it. The Spurs now lead 112 – 111.

Jay: Aww mayn.

D-Nort: Here we go again.

*

Narrator: Back out in the Town Center with my three friends…

Robby: Holy shit!

Narrator: All three turned to the path ahead of them, where the ambulance, fire truck, and two police cars were standing.

Bobby: Whattappened over there?

Chris: (noticing crowd on left side of vehicles) It’s an accident.

Robby: You serious?

Narrator: The guys power-walked to get a closer look at the scene. They saw two guys put Edwin on a stretcher. Once the stretcher was pulled into the ambulance, Robby started noticing Maja as she was standing beside Sarah and Walter.

Robby: Ey isn’t that Maja?

Bobby: (seeing her also) I think…

Robby: Isn’t that Jay’s other girlfriend?

Bobby: Tss man, he won’t know.

Chris: ‘Course he won’t. He’s always in his house.

Robby: I know. Abbas too.

Bobby: Yeah but Abbas hardly ever gets outta the house.

Chris: Cuz of his mom.

Narrator: Minutes later, all the four vehicles drove away, leaving the gang behind.

Bobby: They left.

Robby: Heh, that’s weird.

Chris: I wanna go home now.

Robby: Are we playin’ Halo 3 again?

Chris: If ya want.

Robby: Let’s go then.

Narrator: So my friends headed back to the parking lot to find Robby’s car.
