Ludic Selcouth #3: Dancing Keys

Key #8

I laughed when I saw Earl screaming his lungs off downstairs. Nakikipagsabayan sya sa mga babaeng grabe makatili kanina pa. Sobrang ingay habang tumutugtog ang Degust hanggang sa matapos sila. It was just a good whole thirty minutes but they made the people gone wild.

Ngayon ay mas nagwawala ang mga tao dahil set na ng Ludic Selcouth. Wala pa man ay grabe na ang sigawan sa baba, kahit nga yung iba rito sa taas. Mas marami sa baba dahil nagsipuntahan don yung mga tao nang lumabas ang Ludic Selcouth.

"Baba tayo! I want to see them up close!" Kerry suggested and tugged on my arm. I immediately shook my head and held on Juliana.

"No, dito lang ako." Juliana looked at me and smiled with sparkly eyes.

"Kerry is right. Tara na sa baba!" I was shock with what she said. What the hell? Si Juliana ba 'to?!

"No! Masisiksik tayo ron! Look at those wild people, kulang nalang ay magkaron ng stampede sa sobrang gulo nila." I said and pointed at the people downstairs. Wala na ngang mga naka-upo at lahat nakatayo dahil kapag nanatili silang naka-upo, mahaharangan naman sila nung ibang gustong nasa unahan talaga.

I can't believe this is a high end bar.

"It's okay! Makisiksik tayo!" Kerry insisted and pulled me. Mahigpit akong kumapit sa bannister para hindi niya ako matangay.

"I don't want to! We're fine here!" pinanlakihan niya ako ng mata at mas lalo pang hinila.

Paesyn can't see me. I know there's a little chance that he'll see me because there's a lot of people here but still, I just want to be careful.

He's nice but he's also treating me as a kid. Bata ang tingin niya sakin at siguradong iba ang iisipin niya kapag nakita niya ako rito. The worst thing that could happen is him, reporting to my parents.

"Bahala ka dyan! Juls tara na, they're starting!" si Juliana nalang ang hinila niya at iniwan ako. Nakangiwi ko silang sinundan ng tingin at umiling nalang.

Fangirls.

"Good evening." the girls screamed with Rush Zedova's voice. I can spot Zath Accardi talking with women on the side. Kaya mas lalong nagwawala ang mga babae eh.

I stared at Paesyn. He's on the side and he's just smiling to the women who are screaming his name. Sinuklay niya pataas ang buhok at may isinigaw kay Tase na nasa likod. He laughed and shook his head after hearing whatever Tase replied.

He's really good-looking, huh. He's like the softie of their group but he also looks rugged sometimes.

I don't know if I was looking at him too much because he suddenly gazed here at the second floor. My eyes widen and I immediately turned my back. Sa dami ng pwede niyang tingnan ay dito pa talaga sa gawi ko?

Iginala ko ang paningin dito sa second floor at napansing kakaunti nalang kaming nandito. Most of my classmates are downstairs. Halos mga lalaki rin ang nandito sa taas at mga nag-iinuman lang. I think they're the ones who doesn't want riot just like what's currently happening on the first floor.

"What? No, I'm sorry. Zemira isn't available." napatingin ulit ako sa baba nang marinig ang sinabi ni Rush Zedova. Nakatingin siya sa isang grupo ng mga lalaki sa baba. The group of men grunted and booed. Tumawa lang si Rush at lumingon kay Tase.

Biglang hinahampas na ni Tase Mortell ang drums kaya mas lalong nagtatatalon ang mga tao na nanunuod sakanila. The rest of the members followed until Rush started to sing.

My heart was beating so fast while watching them. Sobrang galing talaga nila..

Napako ang tingin ko kay Paesyn na seryoso lang sa pagtugtog pero paminsan-minsang sumusulyap sa crowd at ngingiti.
