Chapter 11

I'm panicking! Fuck, this is not right. Why am I feeling these kind of feeling? I hate it, I don't want to feel this! I don't know what to think anymore. It is making me go crazy and crazy. Who the fuck invented this kind of feeling? Wait, is this was totally a jealousy? Oh, fuck. Get your crazy self back here, Scayans!

"Sus, selos ka kasi..." I looked at Cemet who was teasing me and poking my waist by her finger.

"Am I jealous?" I asked, confused.

"Tangi, oo. Halata naman!" Mas lalo akong nag-panic. Am I that easy to read?

"What should I do, then?" I trailed off. "I don't want to feel these shits."

Cemet laughed at me like I'm a crazy bitch. Even the crowd was roaring, here we are, talking like there's no event happening. 

"Umamin ka na kasi na gusto mo si Ekkes para tapos na. Ikaw naman kasi, napaka-pabebe mo." She mocked.

I glared at her. "Look who's talking... 'kala mo naman, hoy! Sinasabi ko sa'yo, pabebe ka naman sa lahat ng naging lalaki mo, kaya ka iniiwan."

She touched her chest like she's dog who was hurt by my sudden real talk. "Palibhasa kasi, ikaw 'yung nang-iiwan."

"Luh, ba't sa'kin napunta? Inggit ka lang, sis."

"Gaga! Sana hindi kayo magkatuluyan ni Ekkes!"

"Aba't!" Hindi pa nga kami ni Apollo tapos sinusumpa na niya? Mangkukulam talaga. I mentally pray, God Lord, I hope that what Cemet was saying were not be able to happen, kung mangyari man, sakaniya na lang. But I was just kidding, I'm not like that. Oh, well. Just a little bit.

"Here are the one and only..." Napatingin kami sa host nang magsalita ito sa unahan. "..the Rinceoir!"

The audience roared. They started to chant the Rinceoir's name one by one. My panic attacked was gone the moment when the Rinceoir showed themselves at the stage. I can't help but to smile when my gaze turned to Apollo who was coldly staring at the audience. Nakatayo lamang siya doon na 'tila isang hari na sinasamba ng lahat. Fuck, he looks so hot! 

"Putragis, ang ho-hot!" Maral said that like she's craving for something.

I admit, the Rinceoir was looking so hot wearing an all white outfit.

The Rinceoir was wearing a white tee-shirt partnered with white pants. Still simple. Hindi ko alam kung matutuwa ba dahil ang po-pogi nilang tingnan sa outfit nila o maiinis kasi mukhang hindi naman sila nag-effort na mag-ayos para sa ganito kalaking event.

The music played. I was surprised that I knew that song. It was 'Collide' by Howie Days.

The dawn is breaking...

A light shining through...

You're barely waking...

And I'm tangled up in you...

Yeah.

My eyes were glowing with amazed. Walang pinagbago, magaling pa rin. I followed Apollo's movement, sure, they were all the same, good dancer. I'm not comparing them but for me Apollo was so good to be true. The way he moves his body, it was like you want to see more of him, dancing. I can't help but to admire him more. As if like my admiration wasn't enough.

I'm open, you're closed...

Where I follow, you'll go...

I worry I won't see your face...
