SWAY

Prologue

Beads of sweat fell from my forehead down to my chin,

"One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight..."

With pair of knees that are bound to break any second,

"Turn and Tak! Tak! Tak!"

Upbeat yet low music in the background,

All our hands extended to the right, but then I saw one arm extended to the left.

That single mistake is enough for all the blood in my entire body to rise into my head.

Kainis. Bakit ba hindi nila makuha. Ganon ba sila katanga?

"STOP!" My voice echoed inside the four corners of the studio that made my team pause from everything; including breathing, I suppose. Itinigil din ng naka assign sa sounds ang music dahil sa sigaw ko.

These uncultured sons of a gun! Sila lang ba ang pagod? Bakit ba hindi nila ayusin dahil gusto ko na rin namang magpahinga. Matapos huminto ang musika, rinig ko ang malalalim na pag hinga nila dahil sa pagod.

Tsk.Pagod rin naman ako pero kung maka asta ang mga ito, akala mo'y kasalanan kokung bakit kami paulit ulit sa routine.

"You. At the back. Come here." I tried my best to say it the calmest way that I could for I know na hindi nya rin gustong magkamali. But what irritates me the most is that she didn't even move a muscle to follow my command.

I smiled bitterly before yelling, "I SAID, COME HERE!"

The whole studio was startled by my sudden yell. I bet that she almost lost her sanity when she was able to meet my eyes for two seconds.

The untalented bitch couldn't even look at me as she realizes her mistake. Mukha rin syang pagod na at maiiyak dahil sa kahihiyan. Kita rin ang panginginig ng tuhod at mga kamay na pilit itinatago sa likuran. Hindi mahaba ang pasensya ko lalo na sa kapag malapit na ang competition.

Sa mga ganitong panahon pinaka mainit ang ulo ko. I heaved a sigh and walked toward the girl na sa sahig naman nakatingin. Takot syang salubungin ang mga mata ko at naiintindihan ko naman kung bakit.
