Fine And Dusk

CHAPTER I: SLIPPED

CHAPTER 1
SLIPPED

STELLA P.O.V.

AFTER MY class on my last period, I went directly to the locker area to get my things in my practice. I changed my clothes on washroom then I walk straight to the dance studio.

Some of my fellows are already there but some are still not. I greeted them before I start to do the stretching.

For three weeks, my routine is to proceed after my class in practice, then do my projects and plates, and study at night. Quite simple but really tiring. I won't complaint 'cuz I wanted this.

Last day of practice my friends Icy and Amber went to the studio to watch our performance. They are my friends since high school. More like my sisters. We live together in an apartment, not so far nor so near on our university.

We joined a competition between prestigious universities so as expected, there are so many students in arena. This event is one of the highlight on this whole program.

It's a dance sport.

I enjoyed the performance with my partner. I don't know who's gonna win. I am just completely confident on what we find. The crowd gone wild when the music started. Nilibot ko ang tingin sa kanila, nakakatuwa silang lahat.

A monents after, my partner and I are having a conversation about what he currently feel. We're sitting beside the cour, resting.  I saw a device, focused on me, I don't know if it is really me, I simply smile then I looked on different direction.

"Gorgeous!"

It's my professor. Naglalakad papunta sa amin. Ngumiti ako sa kaniya at kumaway. Tinaasan niya ako ng kilay habang may nanunuyang ngiti. Kinabahan ako ng kaunti.

"Miss," tumayo ako.

Eleganteng magkahawak ang kamay niya nang nasa harap ko na siya. Alanganin akong ngumiti. Ang sumunod na galaw ay hindi ko inaasahan. Hinawakan niya ang magkabilang siko at pinagdampi ang mga pisnge. Hindi ako makagalaw sa labis na gulat.

"You look so fantastic, Stella. You did so well. Oh I feel so proud having a student like you! You're like a princess dazzling with magics!"Aniya.

Kumunot ang noo ko pero mabuti at nabawi ako sa gulat. "Thank you, miss." Nangingiti kong tugon.

Nakakatuwa naman makarinig ng ganitong papuri.

"What's the inspo of your look?" She asked.

"Pardon, miss?" Gulat kong tanong.

Sinuri niya ang mukha ko. "Maganda ang kolorete. Bumagay talaga sa'yo."

"Uh, hindi ko po alam ang tawag sa make up namin."

"Huh! I believed you don't have any idea that you slayed the dance floor. Outstanding, sweety."

Lumiwanag ang mukha ko. "Talaga po?"

"Surely, you're winning."

"H-how?"

She rolled her eyes on me. "In my own critique. Congratulations in advance, Stella. See you on Monday. We have a quiz."

Nanatili akong nakangiti hanggang sa makaalis ang aking propesor. Nakagat ko ang aking labi.

She's a high standard professor and an icon. I feel so overwhelmed being critique by her and complimented. It is new for me. That sounds so good to me.

I must enjoy today, may quiz agad sa Monday. I dislike that day.

Bringing pride to our university is an honor and pride. We really won the competition. I got excited to tell my parents about this.
