Chapter 28: Sweetness

Jael’s POV

Christmas Program. December 20. 3:00pm

Nandito na kami ngayon sa covered court. Mainit at masikip sa loob. Buti na lang at nasa backstage kami nakapuwesto dahil we’re one of the performers later. Kasama ko ang buong department ng college of education. Kahapon lang ang practice namin. Hopefully, maging successful naman ang lahat. :)

Inaayos ko na ‘yung red bow tie ko. Nakasuot ako ng isang white polo na nakatuck in sa jeans ko. Habang nag-aayos ako. Tinawag ako ni Ma’am Chloe.

“Sir! I dare you. Kapag chorus na ng kakantahin mo, bumaba ka sa stage. Kuha ka ng isang audience para magtilian sila mamaya! Sige na, Sir!” sabi niya sa akin. She’s wearing red skater shirt. May Santa Claus Hat lahat ng babaeng teachers. Ang weird lang. Halos maluha siya kahapon, tapos, energetic ngayon?

“No Ma’am Chloe. Mamaya malaglag pa ako sa stage eh. Mahirap na, baka mahulog ako, tapos biglang walang sumalo. Ang sakit kaya no’n.” I answered. Ayan, tapos ko nang ayusin ‘yung bow tie ko.

Kasama ko rin sina Sir Rain, Sir Railey, Ma’am Anna, at Ma’am Chloe. Kaming lima ang magrerepresent ng Department namin. Ayaw sumali ng iba pang teachers kesyo may edad na raw sila at hindi na raw sila bagay sa ganitong activity. Anyway, they will show their support naman raw mamaya while watching.

“Sir, ready na ba ‘yung piece mo?” I tried to approach Sir Rye. He’s wearing the same as mine. Pareho kaming tatlong ng damit. Iba lang siya dahil he’s wearing his Ray Ban shades.

“Yes.” He answered. Tipid ang sagot niya. Kasama ko siya mamayang kakanta. Dalawa kami, in fact. Si Sir Rain sa Drums. Si Ma’am Anna sa piano. Si Ma’am Chloe naman ang back-up singer namin. Hawak ko naman ang lead guitar, pero may portion rin na kakanta ako.

“Are you all ready?” Sir Rain asked. He’s with Ma’am Anna.

Tumungo naman kaming lahat. Kaya lang, I can feel awkwardness sa atmosphere. Hindi nag-uusap si Sir Rain at Ma’am Chloe. Si Sir Rain lang ang nagmemaintain ng isang good atmosphere sa back stage. I don’t know. There must be something. I’ve heard na may something between Sir Rain and Ma’am Chloe. But then, it’s none of my business.

Inilabas ko na ‘yung lollipop ko 10 minutes before our presentation. Kumakain ako nito para mawala ‘yung kaba ko.  Actually, kinakabahan ako. Think of this, puro admin at officials ng school ang manunuod samin. The venue is very huge. It can accommodate more than five hundred people.

“Ma’ams. Sirs. Kayo na po ang next. Pagpasok po ng performers na susundan niyo, labas na rin po kayo agad and go to your positions,” Pam said. Nabasa ko kasi sa ID niya na siya si Pam. She’s one of the student council officers. I think.
