The 10th Ordinance Libra vs Pisces

CHAPTER 11

LEARN BALLROOM DANCING

[MAY 2014]

"What are you doing? We should be playing chess." Gray said.

"I'm finding a good tutor online near our place." I answered.

"What tutor?"

"A ballroom dancing tutor."

"How did you know?"

"Well, you got drunk last night, and you told me the third ordinance."

"Did I say that?"

"I actually asked you."

"Oh. You're a cheater ha. You took advantage of me."

"If I'm a cheater, then what do you call yourself? Sounds familiar?"

"Are you sure you want to start learning ballroom dancing?"

"Yap!"

-

Then here I found an expert ballroom dancer, Miss Vergara.

GRAY: Hey! You insisted on learning ballroom dancing. You must lose weight. Reduce eating meat and sweets starting today.

ISLA: That will be hard. I'll eat meat and sweets once a week.

GRAY: Just make sure to stick to 1000 calories per day and avoid meats that are hard to digest.

ISLA: Sure.

Every day after work and on weekends, I practice ballroom dancing.

It's not a joke. It's hard.

My body has been in pain and adjusting for a couple of days.

I feel like Miss Vergara is getting annoyed since it takes me more time to do the dance steps. But yeah, at least I'm still trying and getting better each day.

---

A time came when I felt so stressed, too occupied, and couldn't focus on work.

So, I must admit that I wasn't able to perform well on a specific project of the Company. This could be solved in a more formal way, but they've become so loud about it.

I saw two possible reasons for their excessive reactions,

either they only felt disappointed in my performance,

or they just feel satisfied, dragging me down.

But I guess, both are reasons, though the latter seems to be a more convincing reason.

Then...

the hidden haters started to come out.

And guess what???

They are all the ones who don't have the looks.

Deyyyymmmmm!

-

They even recruited others to treat me a bit differently.

Whenever I greet some of them, they are no longer greeting back simply to make me feel like an outcast.

What a fabulous team effort!

It's like they only used that one failure of mine as a chance to express their hidden feelings against me XD

Well, it's a reflection of their character, not mine. ~

And I know very well where that unreasonable hate is coming from.
