Nobody Does It Better *ALMOST*

Anne’s POV

“Ladies, focus!” sigaw ko kina Grace Sia, Gelle Micht at ang bagong member ng kanilang grupo na si Lindy Wolfe.

I clapped my Essie-polished hands together, my signature wooden bangles clacking on my wrists, and flipped my waist length blond mane.

“Lindy needs to get this.”-Anne

“this” ay ang Le Strut, which was to be our grand entrance on the first day of fourth year at Mac Berge Academy, a.k.a MBA.

Le Strut meant walking like you were too bored to care and therefore cooler than everyone who’d missed the memo on not caring.

Para sa full analysis, kelangan i-rehearse nineteen times kasama ang video playback.

Yeah you heard it right 19x para PERFECT.

“Lindy, you need to get into character.” Sabi ko sa kanya habang nakaharap sa computer screen.

“Bukas na ang debut mo bilang Cool New Girl sa MBA, and right now you look like a sweet girl galling probinsya who can’t believe her luck.”-Anne

“But that’s exactly how I feel!” pagpro-protesta ni Lindy.

Napailing nalang ako.

Feeling ko mahihirapan ako sa probinsyanang to GOSH!

Nakilala ko si L sa premiere party and had instantly fell into her spell. JOKE.

I like her acting skills and adorableness.

Just this morning me and my Mom, the biggest talent agent(yabang ba?), had convince L to move dito sa Mac Berge para i-pursue ang acting career niya habang dito muna sya sa Armstrong’s guest bedroom.

Alam ni Anne na ang kanyang starlet-in-training had it in her, and it was her job to coax it out. “GET IT RIGHT”

Tumango nalang si Lindy, closed her eyes and inhaled deeply.

She looked like she was doing yoga standing up, pero alam ko nay un ang paraan ni L para mag-ON ang acting skills nya.

Biglang nagmulat ng mata si L at ngumisi.

She strutted confidently acrossed the wooden floor, like a totally different person from the girl who tried the exact same thing only seconds ago.

‘That’s my girl’

Nandito kami ngayon sa private dance studio ni Gelle na pinalilibutan ng wall-to-wall mirrors,

para sa annual night-before sleepover,

Which Gelle, Grace and I had enjoyed every year since grade one.

Gelle’s father is the hotel mogul ‘Mr. Edward Micht’, and they lived in the top-floor suite of his father’s Chronicle Hotel.

Kahit na na-discover na namin ang tamang pag-execute ng Le Strut years ago,

it is always smart to fine-tune.

I insisted na dito nalang mag-rehearse sa studio ni Gelle to get “the most honest” impressionof what we really looked like.

Mirrors, gaya ng iBook could lie, pero Mirrors + iBook + Gelle’s mirrored studio= “BRUTAL HONESTY”

“Guys, good news.” Sinabi ko sakanila habang titig na titig sa screen ng computer.

“Finally, nagawa na din natin ng tama.”pinakita ko sa kanila yung screen para ma-observe nila yung playback ng work namin.

*The iBook is divided into split screen, each quarter playing a clip of each one of the four girls striding across the dance studio.*

Lindy’s normally shy, hunched-over posture had improved tenfold(I made her walked with a stack of French vogues on her head haha);

Gelle looked like a gazelle-dancing gave her excellent carriage-and even Grace’s swagger was a little less tomboyish than usual.

I strode confidently with my blonde hair held high.

“Le Strut is parfait!”

Ngumiti lang sila sakin.

“Okay, next order of business,” sabi ko.

Kailangan ko na mag-strategize para sa upcoming campain para manalo sa social chair, th holy grail of MBA positions.

At tatlong araw nalang bago ang botohan, kelangan ko ng gumawa ng campaign posters, which so far was a movie trailer poster of myself with the  rating A for “amazing”.

“Now, kelangan ko ng inyong honest opinions.

Is it too-“ Naputol ang sasabihin ko dahil sa pag-PING!!! ng intercom.

“White Hat!” Tumakbo palabas ng dance studio si Grace.

Gelle’s French Bulldog, Ashlene, who had been asleep in her custom-made Louis Vuitton dog bed, yelped and chased after Grace.
