KUMORI

5th day, ang Last day ng sportfest at wala akong idea sa kung anong mangyayari ngayon.

"Kumori, please get ready. First competition kayo ngayon at exactly 8 am magsisimula na" sabi sakin ni Ms. Chinose, I unwilling did what she said at nagpunta sa homeroom namin.

"Hey Miss Kumori, good luck po mamaya" sabi ng isang estudyante ng makapasok ako, I don't know her name nor care who she is. I'm super irritated right now at ayokong kumausap ng kahit na sino.

"Miss Kumori, please sit here. Aayusan na kita" I followed what my HMUA said at naupo sa isang silya, sinumulan niya muna ayusin ang buhok ko pagkatapos ay nilagyan ng kaunting makeup ang mukha ko. I asked him — I mean her (he's gay) to put light makeup only dahil ayoko ng masyadong makapal na makeup dahil nangangati ako.

"Done! Grabe! Super ganda niyo Miss Kumori!" she praised me, I didn't bother thanking her.

"Heto ang susuotin mo, good luck!" she said, nagpunta ako sa dressing area at tinignan ang damit ko.

What. The. Fuck.

Is this even a dress?! This is too daring! Wala naman akong choice kaya I still wore the freakin dress. It was a slategrey tube dress na kitang kita ang cleavage ko. Okay, I'm not good at describing. I'm sorry. I felt naked wearing this piece of clothes but then again, wala akong choice.

"Tapos ka na ba Miss Kumori?" sigaw ni Michiko, my HMUA ko, kaya naman lumabas na ako. They all stopped at what they're doing and stared at me which made me so concious! Damn.

"What?!" I asked with a irritation, lima lang kami nandito sa homeroom, my partner, Michiko, the other girl and Miss Chinose.

"Wow Kumori, you're a goddess" puri ng ka-partner ko, the others praised me too but I just rolled my eyes at them for making me wear and do this shits.

"Okay, the competition is starting in 8 minutes! Let's go to the gymnasium and Kumori wear Shun's jacket for the mean time, I don't want to expose your dress, not yet" sabi ni Mis Chinose, Shun lend me his jacket and I wore it.

Nakarating kami ng gymnasium where every DH students was, lahat sila binigyan kami ng mga tingin when we arrived. I felt irritated again, I didn't want attention but I can't do anything about it now.

"WELCOME DAKU HIGH STUDENTS! DUE TO SOME CIRCUMSTANCES LAST TIME, WE MOVED THE DANCESPORT COMPETITION TO THE LAST DAY OF THE SPORTS FESTIVAL" everyone cheered while the contestants we're escorted to seat in the mono blocks near the dance floor, "ARE YOU EXCITED? BECAUSE I AM! SO WITHOUT FURTHER-A-DO, LET THE COMPETITION BEGIN!"

the competition started and the first heat was Waltz and I wasn't feeling nervous, I'm more angry than nervous pero yung partner ko mukhang nata-tae na sa kaba. Tsk.

"If you messed up, I'm going to let Eiji kill you" sabi ko, he looked pale for a minute and then embarrassed

"I won't drag us down Miss Kumori, don't worry" sabi nito, he looked determined. I rolled my eyed at him

"Shut up and do your best, and drop the 'Miss'. Do I look like a teacher to you?" he shook his head as a response, wala nang nagsalita samin. The competition started kanina pa and sa 7 partners na maglalaban ay pang-4 kami. Nasa 2nd contestant palang kami when I decided to go and buy myself a drink. Bumalik na ako ng gymnasium agad since sandali lang din ako pinayagan umalis, I was at the gymnasium's door when someone grabbed my hand.
