Chapter 4
The weekend has passed, and it's Monday again. Daan din ang inabot ng mga nag share ng promotion namin. And that made our dean happy. I actually expected that outcome knowing that I'm working with Lennon, who's very professional when it comes to these things.
This week na ang elimination kaya naging busy uli kami ng mga kabanda ko, dahil ibang kanta uli ang kakantahin namin sa elimination. We really save the best in the last.
"'Di ko alam kung nagfefeeling lang ba ako pero iba talaga yung tingin ng judge saakin kanina sa elims ng Ms. Intramurals eh." malanding saad ni Lexi
"Benefit na rin yon para mapili ka, patulan mo na." sabi naman ni Jeisha
"Hindi naman ako ganun kababoy!" sigaw niya sa kaibigan. Natigil ang asaran namin nang dumating ang ilan naming mga kaklase.
Sina Sahara...
"Ellera." pagtawag niya saakin. Kinabahan ako sa napaka seryoso niyang titig saakin.
Anong meron?!
"Can we talk?" sinenyasan niya ako na lumabas kami kaya tumayo ako kaagad.
"Bakit may concern ka ba or suggestion sa plan natin?" tanong ko nang nakalabas na kami sa hallway. Umiling naman siya at napalunok bago nagsalita.
"Why didn't you tell me that you did a cover song with Lennon?" aniya, ramdam ko sa tono at mukha niya na malungkot at galit siya saakin.
"I don't want to sound like a bitch but I didn't think of that, because I don't see a reason that I'm obliged to tell you about my plans." sagot ko
"But I thought we were friends... You know that I like him... Now everybody thinks that something is going on between the two of you... Hold on, meron ba??"
"Did you beg him to do a cover song with you? That's how low you are?" dagdag pa niya at tumawa nang sarkastiko saakin.
"No, the Dean wants the two of us to do that. In fact, he wants us again to perform on the main day of intramurals." pag klaro ko sakaniya
Hindi ko naisip na magseselos siya saamin ni Lennon dahil sa isang kanta, how did I not think of her feelings! I'm such a bad friend!
"And you're going to do it?" tanong naman niya at tumango ako
"Baka maging dahilan pa yan ng pagbagsak ko kung hindi ko susundin ang request ng Dean natin. I'm sure if you were in my shoes, you would do the same thing." nginitian ko siya atsaka pumasok na pabalik sa room
"Anyare?" tanong agad ni Lexi at tumingin sa labas, kita ko sa mukha niya ang pagtataray niya kay Sahara.
"Nagseselos si Sahara saamin ni Lennon." maikling paliwanag ko
"Pakak ka girl, it girl na it girl!"
"Hindi ko alam kung ano yung nararamdaman ko ngayon, ayaw kong magselos si Sahara saamin pero at the same time anong pake niya sa gagawin ko sa buhay ko?"
I don't want to be manipulated I don't want to get played
"Savage! Nagmana ka sakin, girl." sambit naman ni Jeisha
"Pero I know I was a bitch to that... I should've told her. She likes Lennon..." dagdag ko
"Baback out ka ba sa pag perform nyo sa final round?" tanong ni Lexi at umiling naman ako
"I'll just help Sahara to have closure with Lennon... Close naman na sila noon, kailangan ko lang mabalik ang sparks nila sa isa't isa."
"Obligasyon mo bang gawin yan?" mataray na tanong ni Jeisha
