The cold nerd meets the casanova [UNEDITED]

CHAPTER 12

When I arrived at the BACKSTAGE, I saw my block mates chit-chatting about some serious matter. I just walked in front of them.

Looks like they didn't notice me.

"let's all welcome our 1st contestant Ms. Annie De Vegas representative from
BeEd 1-A department let's give her a resounding applause" emcee.

"Sino ang sanay sa mga ganito?!"

"Malapit na tayoooo"

"Putik! Malapit na siyang matapos."

Wala pa ang napiling representative nila? Too bad.

They should've not blame Jennyfer, every action has a reason, maybe Jennyfer has a reason. Kung itigil nalang kaya nila ang pagtatalo at maghanap ng paraan para malutas ang problemang hinaharap.

Blaming other people won't solve a problem.

Tinawag na ang aming course pero mukhang wala silang plano kumilos dahil busy sila sa kakareklamo. Nakakairita ang matinis nilang boses. Lumapit nalang ako sa M.C at sinabihan siya na hindi dumating ang napiling representative at nagdahilan nalang ako na may sakit si Jennyfer.

"So ako nalang ang kakanta" I volunteered

Nakita kong nag-alinlangan pa ang M.C siguro dahil sa mukha ko. Yeah, I'm just wearing a simple turquoise dress, above the knee. The dress is beautiful just don't mind my face.

"Are you sure? ---- I nodded "Okay" sagot niya.

Tinapat niya muli ang mikropono sa bibig niyan at inexplain sa audience kung ano sinabi ko sa kanya kanina.

"Contestant no. * Representative from Business Ad Department, let's all welcome Ms. Hadley Cruz" She announced.

Bago ako pumanta sa stage ay nanghiram kinuha ko ang gitara sa may lagayan nito sa may backstage atsaka ako tumayo sa harap ng maraming tao then I strum the guitar before started to sing

Waiting for the time to pass you by
Hope the winds of change will change your
mind
I could give a thousand reasons why
And I know you, and you've got to

Hindi ko alam pero parang binibiyak ang puso ko habang kinakanta ang lyrics dahil ang kantang ito ay isa sa mga paborito namin ni ate Sammy noon.

All you have to do is stay a minute
Just take your time
The clock is ticking, so stay
All you have to do is wait a second
Your hands on mine
The clock is ticking, so stay
All you have to do is stay

Dinamdam ko talaga ang kantang to, dahil ito ay ang palagi naming kinanta ni ate Sam noong buhay pa siya. Napakaganda ng boses niya na ito'y magbibigay kulay ng mundo ko.

Nang matapos akong kumanta ay tumayo ako at ibinalik ang guitara.

"Thank you Ms.Cruz for that wonderful voice of yours,let's give her a resounding applause"

The room is filled with a deafening applause and I can say that I'm happy because nalabas ko ang naramdaman ko through this song. Maraming naghiyawan, yung iba na insecure, may sumigaw na loser daw parin ako at pangit. But I don't care.

Miss ko na si Ate, stay pero hindi naman siya nag stay iniwan na niya ako.
Umalis ako sa stage at sa pagbaba ko may biglang yumakap sakin, ang tumatayong leader namin.

"Thank you Hadley" Sabi nito bago ako binitawan. Tumango lang ako sa kanya. Lalakad na sana ako nang lumapit sakin ang mga ka-blockmate ko at yayakapin din sana ako.

Oh sh.t, not the hugs please. Once is enough but this?!

"Hep! Hep! Excuse me!" Sigaw ni Nana na at pinagtabi angh mga kablockmate namin.

Nana, You're in time! Thanks God.

"Oh Ley there you are. Come..."ngiting sabi ni Nana sabay kaladkad sakin palayo sa mga kaklase namin. Good.

Hindi ko alam kung saan ako dadalhin ni Nana pero one thing's for sure daan ito patungo sa Canteen. Pagdating namin sa canteen ay agad kaming bumili ng pagkain namin atsaka naghanap ng bakanteng upuan.

" Ang ganda talaga ng boses mo, Ley. Salamat sa pag save ng section natin. You're the best" masayang pasalamat niya. Tinanguan ko lang siya pero nakangiti pa rin siya sa'kin and I realized something.

I'm so lucky to have her despite of my bad attitude.

I thought having a best friend by your side is a hindrance because they become so nosy about your personal life but I was wrong. Having this kind of bond to someone is wonderful because aside from your family you have this person who understand, cheer you up, support you, and help you or lift you up. They are also a good listener and companion.

I sighed heavily. Hinawakan ko ang magkabilang balikat niya.

I smiled back that made her eyes bulged.

Hinawakan niya ako sa mukha with a shocked face.

"Can you do that again?" She asked.

"Do what?" I asked curiosly.

"The smile you gave to me..."

She pinched my cheeks and asked about the smile I gave.

"no.." i said teasingly

"You're so unfair."

"Yeah, whatever Nana."

She laughed and continued to annoy me.
