Behind the Scenes

Chapter 51

Oh. My. Gosh.

I got carried away, it's not Aiah who were with Mikha in that restroom. It's Ian! my alter ego. Oh my dear Lingling! What's gotten into me?

I simply look at Mikha, we are now preparing to go in the court for the rehearsal.

Is she really okay? Did I make her feel uncomfortable earlier? I faced palm.

"Ate Aiah, are you okay?" Staku asked me and I just gave her a single nod.

"Girls? your microphones are okay? no unnecessary sound?" one of the program staffs asked.

We all said it was clear, so we are all set.

We just finished with the rehearsal and all that left for us to do is wait for our turn, later sa basketball half time break.

Well, aside kay Mikha. She's preparing to go na to their team's dug out. She's busy arranging something on her mini gym bag when I decided to approach her.

"Ah-uhm, Mikha Lim?"

She stop what she's doing and look at me.

"Yes, A?" she is facing me and I can't read the expression on her.

I just can't figure out what she is feeling right now. It's making me.. uneasy.

"Ahm, you're going na to your team?"

"Yes? Why?"

"So.. I will see you la-"

"Mikhs!" someone called her from the door of our dressing room.

"Hey, Anj!"

Mikha immediately walk towards her and they greeted each other with cheek kisses.

They talk for about two minutes. I guess, Anj were waiting for her so they can go together na.

"Girls, I'll be going na sa volleyball team. See you later?" she announced while gathering her stuff.

"Eyyy! Mikhs! Break a leg!" Sheena said cheerfully.

"No! Don't break anyone's leg, Mikhs. Just be a good sport, okay?" Jho interjected.

"Wag nga kayong oa, basta Mikhs, control the ball." Staku added.

"We will cheer for you later, Mikha." Gwen said.

"Don't you dare look at the other cheerers!" Maloi with her high pitched voice.

The girls walk towards her to say good luck, and promise to cheer loudly later sa court.

"Girls, let her go na, someone's waiting outside." Colet said looking at the door.

Mikha look at me and hold my hand for a second, smile and proceed to go outside.

The volleyball game is about to start but they were still holding us here in the dressing room.

Like, what the shell? Why are they preventing us to go and watch the game?

"Jho? ano na? what is the problem?" Maloi asked.

"I don't know, maybe they think we will be getting attention or what."

"Pistik! Gusto ko na manuod sa labas! Hindi na natin nasimulan yung game!" Colet is getting angry na rin.

"Can you ask Direk Lauren, please Jho." Staku said trying to calm herself.

We are all aware that the first set has started. We have small tv screen here and I am about to lose my cool if they really not let us watch outside.
