The Truth Is Not True

Chapter 59 - Good luck

Jhoanna's POV:

Today is our charity dance competition at the New Frontier Theater. As usual, people crowded to the venue, which was packed.

Every member of the group is in the backstage area, waiting to be called. Before the competition, everyone was conversing and talking as usual.

I, on the other hand, put on a headphone, sit quietly in a corner, and listen to the music that we'll be performing.

I did not move so they wouldn't notice since I knew everyone would make fun of me if I drew their attention. That is why I prefer to be a part of the chaos as a listener.

While they were laughing, the door unexpectedly opened, revealing Colet's attractive face. All eyes were on my lover.

She was carrying a crocheted red roses and making her way over to where I was sitting. That's why my teammates applauded. Ayan na naman sila.

They are always like that when Colet is around. They will always pick us as a subject to make fun of. Colet just got used to their bullying and teasing.

My girlfriend often watches our dance practices. She always takes me home and also picks me up so Colet is no longer new to them. Sanay na sila sa pagmumukha ng jowa ko.

Colet: “Hi idol. For you po.” She spoke to me as she approached me. At the same time, she held out a crocheted rose in her right hand.

She flashes her sweetest smile that made her group members' scream louder. Others started teasing us, but I just let them do what they want.

“Gusto mo talagang magpapansin noh? You really need to go here pa talaga sa backstage? You should have just messaged me. You know my friends naman, mga nababaliw kapag nakakakita ng tao.” I snapped at her as I reached for the roses she was giving me and raised an eyebrow at her.

Pwede naman kasing magchat nalang siya o kaya tumawag para makapag-usap kami sa labas in private. Haysss. Makukulit pa naman ang mga kaibigan ko. Pero mukha talagang balak niyang magpapansin dahil dito talaga siya dumeretso.

Colet: “Idol, idol. Pahingi naman ng kiss.” She requested with a grin. Not even bothered about my complain.

Of course, there are a bunch of side comments and teasing from my friends that we'll never missed.

Sheki: “Give your fan a one-time opportunity, Jho. Poganda na 'yan oh. Hindi ka na lugi.”

Brei: “Kung ganyan kapogi ang manghihingi ng kiss sa akin, hindi na ako magpapabebe pa. Jojowain ko na agad.”

Maloi: “Pst, pogi. Ako nalang magkikiss sa'yo. Maarte 'yang kaibigan ko eh.”

Mikha: “Idol papi, ako nalang. Pagbigyan mo na ako, please. Kahit isang kiss lang. Just one chance!” She butted in that made the circle burst out laughing, even her girlfriend is laughing hard.

Sheena: “Kadiri, beh. Hindi bagay sa'yo HAHAHHA”

Napaka-walang hiya talaga ng mga lecheng 'to. But my girlfriend is also laughing with them, enjoying the teasing of my friends.

“Ayan na, nagsisimula na sila. Doon na nga lang tayo sa labas!” Then I grabbed Colet by the arm out of the backstage. Mga piskit!

Gwen: “Huy, Jho! Huwag mo naman solohin si Idol papi. 'Wag kang madamot sa fan mo! Paano naman kami dito? Ate Colet, fan na fan mo po ako.”

Abby: “Hey, pogi. How about our group? Co-leader naman ako ahh, hindi mo ba ako idol?”

Sheki: “Yeah! And I'm also a leader, we are even more than willing to give you a kiss kesa dyan sa kasama mong kalaban namin na leader din.” Colet stopped from walking, she turned around and face my friends.
