Chapter 22

Willow

♫"Real hot girl shit"♫

Euclid slowly turned around with that smug look on his face as he elegantly raked his hand through his hair, waiting for the beat drop. Then, he took a few steps forward, licking his lips on the process.

Everyone stared at him in awe as he looked like a beaming star in broad daylight.

♫"And if the beat live, you know Lil Ju made it"♫

Sumabog ang classroom sa sigawan at hiyawan nang magsimula nang sumayaw si Euclid sa Body ni Megan Thee Stallion. Nagsilabasan na rin sila ng kanilang cellphone upang mabidyuhan siya habang patuloy naman ang pag-perform niya ng kaniyang intermission number para sa Christmas Party program namin.

Halos mabaliw ang aming mga kaklase habang tuwang-tuwa siyang pinapanuod na tila bang mayroong concert na ginaganap. I was also enjoying it—which was rare because those type of songs weren't really my cup of tea, but because Euclid was so good at what he was doing, he got me hooked as well. I even took out my camera to take a few shots.

"Akin ka na lang, Euclid, please!"

"Nababading na talaga ako."

"Euclid, panagutan mo ako kila Mama! Hindi nila alam na binaliko mo na 'ko!"

"Umuwi ka na, baby. Miss ka na ng mga anak natin!"

I chuckled as different thirsty comments from our classmates came pouring in. I got used to it already. I came to understand why they were so crazy about him.

"Euclid!" Nangibabaw ang sigaw ni Adi kaya tinapunan siya ng sulyap ni Euclid habang patuloy pa rin ang pagsasayaw.

Inginuso nila Adi ang bintana at wala sa sarili kong napabaling din doon.

Kitang-kita ang pagdaan sa labas ng President namin sa YES-O na kasama ang kaniyang mga kaibigan. Nag-uusap sila ngunit nang mahagip ng kasama niya si Euclid na hataw na hataw ang mga galaw, tinapik niya ang balikat nung crush ni Euclid at itinuro siya mismo.

Our President's eyes swiftly turned to Euclid's direction and locked eyes with him. Euclid chuckled, smirked playfully, and then threw a quick flying kiss at him before continuing his intermission effortlessly.

Nayukot ang mukha nung President namin at binilisan ang lakad hanggang sa malagpasan na nila ang aming classroom.

The program continued and I was actually having fun. It was my first time ever enjoying a Christmas Party, not because I haven't been in one before, but because I never got to spend it with the people I actually felt connected with; unlike my section now, that I already formed multiple bonds with that made it easier for me to enjoy and take part in the event.

"Feel ko akin na talaga 'to," bulong ni Thaianara habang pabilog kaming nakaupo sa sahig ng classroom.

We were already having the exchanging of gifts. Kung sino na ang bibigay ng kaniyang gift ay kailangang pumunta sa gitna ng circle at ilarawan muna ang kaniyang nabunutan bago ito ibibigay sa kaniya.

Kanina pa si Thaianara nanghuhula, at bawat tao na pumupunta sa harap ay kaagad niyang ina-assume na para sa kaniya. I would laugh every time it would turn out to be for someone else, because it raised panic in her system. Nasa kalagitnaan na kasi ng aming section at wala pa rin sa kaniya. Dagdag na rin na absent yung isa naming kaklase kaya inaasar din siya nila Euclid na baka iyong absent ang nakabunot sa kaniya.
