"So it's gonna be forever
Or it's gonna go down in flames
You can tell me when it's over
If the high was worth the pain
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
Cause you know I love the players
And you love the game"
Nasa studio 4 ako ngayon ng academy dahill may monthly evaluation kami and it's me who's performing right now...obviously. And halata namang Swifty ang kanta ko 'di ba? I'm a fan of her but I'm not like those crazy fantards that go crazy and can literally die for their idols. I chose this song for our evaluation not just because I'm a Swifty but also, Sean O'Pry appeared in the music video of this song. I love him, too.
"Cause we're young and we're reckless
We'll take this way too far
It'll leave you breathless
Or with a nasty scar
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
But I've got a blank space, baby
And I'll write your name"
Natapos na ang kanta ko and of course, mawawala ba naman ang palakpakan after an outstanding performance? Well, except for those haters at the corner of the studio. Whatever, sabi nga ni Taylor, haters gonna hate.
"Two flat notes, Ms. Rosario. Not bad. You have A for this monthly evaluation. Good job." Nagpasalamat ako sa feedback ni Ms. Alonzo sa performance ko. Oh, and by the way, she's our glee club coordinator.
I thanked her once more before I put the guitar I used back at the place where I got it then naupo na ako katabi ng ibang club members para makinig din sa mga susunod na mai-evaluate.
After a few minutes of listening to my co-members, nagpaalam muna ako kay Ms. Alonzo para pumunta ng CR at magbawas ng tubig sa katawan at tingnan kung maayos pa ang itsura ko.
Pagbalik ko sa studio, halos mapangiwi ako sa tindi ng boses ng nagpeperform. Ang sakit niya sa tenga! Pang-ilang beses na kaya siyang pumiyok? Tumingin ako sa harap at...
Oh, kaya pala. That girl. Bumalik na ako sa dating inupuan ko at tiniis ko ang sakit ng ulo ko dulot ng pagkanta ng babaeng 'yan.
"Jenny Castillo, I'm sorry but I have to give you another F for this month."
"F? F na naman?" Singhal ni Jenny sa aming coordinator.
Ang lakas nga naman talaga ng loob niyang sigaw-sigawan si miss eh deserve niya naman ang grade na ibinigay sa kanya. Hindi ba niya napapansin na halos tatlong buwan na kaming nagtitiis sa boses niyang nakakarindi? And fortunately, this will be the last time we're gonna hear her sing. You know why?
"You know every club's rule in this academy, Ms. Castillo. If you get an F grade three months in a row, you have to quit. And this is your third F already. I'm sorry but if you won't quit yourself, I will have to eliminate you in my club, myself." Paliwanag sa kanya ni miss.
"W-Wait. I just got, ummm, well, I know I didn't hit the right notes many times but how come you gave me an F? What about Ivory? She got two flats but you gave her an A! That's so unfair!"
That made me flinch. At talagang dinadamay pa ako ng babaitang 'to? Is she ranking herself to my level? Cause I'm definitely insulted.
"Are you saying na A din dapat ang nakuha mong grade, Jenny?" Taas-kilay kong tanong sa kanya.
"Why not? I deserve it!" Kanina pa siya sigaw ng sigaw! Ang sakit na nga niya sa mata, masakit pa siya sa tenga.
She deserves an A daw.
I exhaled lightly at mas lalo pang tinaasan ang kilay ang babaeng deserve DAW ang A na grade.
"Don't make this situation even worse, Jenny." I inhaled sharply when I stood up to face her. "I won't humiliate you in front of all these people. Cause I'm better than that."
