TAMED XVII - TEASER

"NO more half-baked performances! Move closer!"

"Too close Mr. Laczamana!"

"For the love of all that is holy, can't you grasp the concept of 'too much'?!"

"Stop right now, Miss Abvelino! You and Mr. Laczamana need to knock it off!"

After giving her instructions, Professor Sandoval made her way down from the highest seating area of the seats.

"Laczamana! How many times do I have to tell you to bend backward slightly to your fifth position?! Miss Abvelino, slide your right foot out to the right! Great job, that's it! Give me something!"

Brent's face looked really serious, like he was trying hard to control his emotions, and I could sense it. Seryosong tumapat ang propesora sa harap naming dalawa, mahigpit na nakahawak sa isang metal ruler. Her patience was wearing thin as she started pointing her metal ruler between us, making it clear that she was not pleased.

"It looks like Miss Abvelino is trying her hardest to follow the directions, but you're constantly interfering with her. If you're collaborating with other people, it's crucial to think about how your actions could affect everyone else's work. Insisting on doing things your way could result in an injury to the entire performance."

Her chastisement made it seem like she had never instructed us before, like we were novices in training. I let out an audible sigh, wishing this rehearsal would just end already.

"Please bear in mind that this is your final rehearsal, and you know from the start this isn't just a standard role playing in a classroom context! This is a musical state show! Get your act together and work as a unit, or face the consequences of failing alone!"

Things were going smoothly in my solos, but once Brent joined in and we started dancing and singing together, Professor Sandoval seemed to get too caught up in calculating every move and notes! Everything under the sun!

Brent stopped. "Professor Sandoval, sorry if it seemed like I wasn't doing my job. Mentor Carmille actually came up with the idea for the changes we made. I get that this last rehearsal is crucial, and I'm on board with what you're saying."

"Mr. Laczamana, don't ever give me that excuse!"

"The need to hone more on our emotional intelligence, vocal skills, physicality, improvisation, and blocking was all thought up by Mentor Carmille. That is why Daniel and Ti Moune's kissing scene is back. . ."

"Please be quiet, Mr. Laczamana!"

"You can't simply show up after a month and do anything you want for this play, ma'am. I see the need for you to talk to Ma'am Carmille first-."

"Brent Laczamana, cut it out! Puro kayo Mentor Carmille! She's done with her job! And even if she does show up tomorrow, I am still your official mentor and I demand your respect! Don't you dare think for one second that I'm not invested in the success of tomorrow's play, because I am! That's precisely why I'm giving you this tongue-lashing, not just for the play, but for the whole damn show! Kaya kapag sinabi kong pula, pula! Do you get me? Ako lang ang masusunod dito!"

"Brent!" Nag-aalala akong tumayo nang talikuran niya kaming lahat.

"Laczamana, where are you going?!" sigaw ng propesora. "Huwag kang feeling main character dito!"

He turned to his cousin. "What? Can I just breathe some air?"

I was about to chase after him but I didn't know how, so I shook my head. Just then, Professor Sandoval hissed at me again. "What's next? You're going to follow him, aren't you? Brent over your teammates? Go ahead!"
