Trials End

Chapter 55

TAKIBI POV

Today is Tuesday and we're all sitting on the bench while Brice is standing in front of us. We're having a meeting for the dance competition. Kailangan na namin mag simula after lunch break eh.

"Any suggestions for the concept or theme for our performance?" Brice asked while holding a phone.

Hindi ako makakibo dahil hindi ako fun ng dancing. Hindi ko rin naman alam ang style ng boys. I heard echos whispering to each other.

I saw Iris raise her hand. "Irelate natin yung sayaw sa class's outfit?" We all looked at her.

"A baseball theme? Sports? Open fields?" Graig asked her.

Iris nodded. "Yes! But we don't need to do the flyers and more. Let's just try to search for an example."

Brice asked us once again kung ano pwede naming theme but no one opened their mouths. That's why we all agreed na susundin namin ang naisip ni Iris, siya rin ang mag tatake charge.

Now, we're all watching youtube videos sa mga kanya kanya naming phones. Si Iris at Ella naman ang kausap ni Brice ngayon. Actually, sa tabi ko sila nag uusap kaya naririnig ko sila.

"May napansin ako." I interrupt their conversation. The three of them looked at me.

"Their dance steps are not intense but they make sure that they use the space and are very synchronized." I told them what I have seen on the videos. Gamit na gamit ng mga dancers ang field na ginagamit nila.

Tumango tango naman sila. "That's what I've noticed too. Buti nga malaki ang basketball na nareserve ni Miss Corpuz, we can use this for our practice." Iris agreed to my comment.

They began sharing their observations and ideas for steps. Hindi ko napansin ay kasama na rin nila akong nag memeeting.

Iris is starting to draw the positions Ella gave. Kami naman ni Brice ay naghahanap ng possible steps na babagay sa theme namin. Natigil ako sa pagtitig sa phone ko when I saw men standing behind Ella.

"You guys need help?" Aldo asked while standing behind Ella. Nilingon namin siya except Ella.

Nagkatinginan muna kami sandali. "Music." Isang sagot sa kanya ni Brice, I looked at him.

Binalik ko na ang tingin kay Aldo at nagulat dahil katabi niya na si Keith na nakatingin sakin. He's wearing his hoodie again.

"Music daw pre. May alam ka ba?" Aldo faced Keith and asked him.

"Shake it off." Sagot sa kanya ni Keith.

Aldo looked at him confused. "Kanta Keith, kanta. Anong shake it off ka dyan."

"By Taylor Swift. We can also use it's instrumental and mix it with other songs." Keith shrugged.

Tinignan kami ni Aldo. "Narinig niyo yun?" We nodded to him. "Maganda ba suggest niya?"

"U-Uhh yeah? We can use it." Nahihiyang sagot sa kanya ni Iris.

Aldo thumbs up. "I'll ask them for more choices." Tinalikuran niya kami para pumunta kila Blanca na naglalaro ngayon.

Keith didn't leave and we all waited for Aldo to come back. After 10 minutes, he gave his phone to us and we saw more than 10 suggested songs from them.

"Uptown funk nga!" We all looked at Claud na sumisigaw.

Ely stood up. "Maganda pang intro umpisa ng Hey boy by Sia!" Sigaw niya pabalik.
