Dancing became the second life of Jamaica Joe. She will never calm down, not until she dances. It was perfect; she has friends and is a part of a dance team that she leads. It was one summer when she met a guy who dances flawlessly. She couldn't hel...

So, he is Haze, who helped me with that headache. Now, he's also the one who helps me not to fall. Goodness, gracious! Ang laki na ng utang ko sa kanya.
I never even had the chance to thank him because after he help me stand up, bumati lang siya kay Persephone at umalis na kaagad. I was left dumbfounded and can't even comprehend what just happened. But he's familiar though.
"Booklet mo," mataray na sabi ng classmate kong si Sasha. Kinuha ko ang binigay niya at tiningnan ito.
"Para saan to?" nagtatakang tanong ko.
She rolled her eyes and look at me with disgust. "I don't know. I'm not your PA," mataray na sagot niya at tinalikuran na ako.
I just shrug and ignore their mean looks at me. Sanay na ako, they look at me like I don't belong here na para bang saling pusa lang ako. They even feasted on me when they heard about what happened between Rush and me. That's why they treated me like an outsider and didn't even want me to be their friend. Thanks to Persephone who treated me as a normal human being and accepted me as her friend, I didn't bother their mean regards.
I sigh when I realized na wala pala si Persephone ngayon. Di nga kami nakasabay mag lunch buti nalang sinabayan ako ni Matt at Kresha. Although nandito nga siya sa school pero nagpapractice naman nang orchestra for the upcoming competition. She plays the piano by the way.
Tinago ko ang booklet na homework pala when I heard the dismissal ring. We all bid goodbye to our last teacher when he told us na we can go home. I started fixing my things and stand up when I'm done. Dumaan ako sa isang door dito sa room namin wanting to avoid my entitled classmates.
I heave a sigh nung nakalayo na ako sa kanila. I can feel their dagger stares at my back and it's making me uncomfortable every damn time kaya laking ginhawa ko nang nakalayo ako. After 6 minutes, nakarating rin ako sa studio. I open the door of the dance room at ang unang bumungad sa akin ay ang nakabusangot na mukha ni Matt.
"Hi, Vice-Pres," bati sa akin ng lahat. Tinanguan ko sila sabay ngiti to acknowledge their greetings.
"Anyare? Bat parang bad vibes ka yata ngayon?" tanong ko kay Matt pagkatapos kong umupo sa tabi niya.
"Kasali daw ang mga juniors sa meeting ngayon. Kaya nababadtrip na ako kahit di ko pa nakikita si Kresha,"
Inilibot ko ang aking paningin sa dance room at ngayon ko lang din napansin na may mga juniors nga. May nakita pa nga akong nahiya nung nagka eye to eye contact kami.
"Bat ka naman mababadtrip eh kapatid mo yon?" natatawang kong tanong.
"Pasikat yun eh,"
I just laugh at his statement at tumingin sa malaking salamin na nandito sa loob. I just notice it now kasi yung first time kong pumasok dito nakafocus ako sa audition. It is more big and well-built. The floor is made of gray wool carpet that's why the light illuminates the room giving a very good ambiance.
