**"Fudge!"
Mura ko nang nasobrahan sa stroke ang paglagay ko ng eyeliner. Agad ko itong binura at sinubukang lagyan muli pero nag smudge lang ulit.
"Talagang masisira yan! Tingnan mo nga yang kamay mo. Kanina pa yan nanginginig!"
Tiningnan ko nang masama si Chasy. Kita na ngang nagcoconcentrate ako dito. Guguluhin pa ako?
"Tumahimik ka nga!" sabi ko sabay irap.
I know that I'm nervous and I wanted to shake off my feelings by fixing my makeup. Although, it's not working cause I can clearly hear what is going on.
Hiphop competition kasi namin ngayon and we represent our school. We're the 6th performer and it's nerve wrecking because malapit na kami. Pang 4th na ang nasa entablado and sooner, tatawagin na kami.

"A round of applause for a wonderful performance from Magsaysay School Inc." rinig kong sabi ng MC.
Omyghad! Malapit na kami! After ng magpeperform, kami na and what's worse, ang daming nanunuod ngayon. Sa convention center kasi ng isang mall ang venue kaya ang daming tao, unlike last year na tama lang.
"And now, let's all welcome the participants from North Coast International School."
Halos mabingi ako sa maingay na sigaw ng mga tao. Kita dito sa kinauupuan ko ang pagwagayway nila ng mga tarpaulins and balloons. May iba pang tumatalon-talon habang ang iba nama'y nagvivideo sa kanilang phone. As expected sa mamahaling school!
"Halaaaaa! Si Rush yun, diba?"
"OMG! SIYA NGA!"
"Gosh! Diba wala siya last year?"
