Kissing the fire

Smile

I pushed him using all of my force before taking the speaker with me.

"I just kissed Nathalie because I thought you're going back to your old ways again and it was wrong of me to doubt you. I just explained to her earlier that, that kiss meant nothing and we're just friends,"

"Yeah, friends," I said while my back is turned against him. "Like I said, I don't care, zone. I don't care!"

"But I want you to care..." I sighed deeply before going out with the speaker.

"Zone's still inside?"

I was shocked by Nathalie's presence when I got outside. She's looking intently at me like she's expecting zone to come with me.

Kanina pa siya nandito? Baka naman narinig niya lahat ng sinabi namin?

"See for yourself," I said before making a way for her. Hindi na niya ako pinansin at pumasok na sa loob.

Ilang minuto pa ang lumipas bago lumabas ang dalawa. Pawis na pawis sila at halos mapunit ang labi ni Nathalie pagka-labas niya.

I kept my mouth shut at what I saw kahit gustung-gusto kong tanungin si Zone kung nagawa niya nga ba?

Sabi niya ako lang daw pero I guess, pare-parehas silang mga lalaki.

They'll make you believe all their lies until you see for yourself that you're not the only one believing them.

The 2nd day of practice were smooth.

Sweden's already present and he's a dancer like me so he did catched up to all the dance steps he missed yesterday and also, we practiced for our talent portion.

There's no class already but I feel there is, whenever I wake up at 7 in the morning for practice.

This should be worth it.

I've scolded myself many times already, because if not for my indecisive self, I would've been with Byron, corynn, and some family friends in Palawan and then next week, nasa Siargao na sila...

I can't wait for this to end so I can enjoy my vacation while it lasts.

The last day of practice were pretty hard to us pero kahit ganoon, I still inserted a brief tiktok video of me dancing 'Let's groove tonight' wherein you go sway your hands in circular motion while you turn around, I like it because it's fun to dance and it's a vibe. May mga sumabay pang ilang estudyante sa akin until I saw Clyde watching me from afar.

Walang sabi-sabing hinila ko siya papunta sa pwesto ko at pi-nlay agad ang music.

"Yieeee!"

"Si Clyde pala, Era ha?"

They were cheering for us while I just vibe to the music.

I started dancing while Clyde was a little lost but then after a few takes, sumabay na rin siya sa akin.

We were laughing the whole dance and the contestants are just watching us while cheering for us.

"Okay, back to practice!" Biglang sigaw ni Lonnie kaya bumalik na ako agad sa pwesto ko after hitting the 'post' button on Tiktok.

We practiced our dance for the group then the last is our practice for the talent portion.

We're currently here sa covered stadium at marami kaming mga nagpa-practice rito, all of us are minding our own business. Hindi rin naman kami madi-distract dahil kami lang naman na mga contestants, dance instructors tsaka iilang professors ang nandito.
