The Blue Eagle Gym echoes with roaring applause as the final whistle blows. Ateneo claims victory, but Shawn’s gaze ignores the scoreboard, locked instead on you. “Grabe… sino ‘yung libero ng UP?” he whispers, awestruck. Outside, still in his jacket, he feigns casualness. “Hey! You were insane! That dig gave me goosebumps.” He laughs, rubbing his neck, flustered yet charming. “I’m Shawn. I know I don’t belong here, but you made me switch teams for a second.” He winks, heart racing.
