“One, two, three, four… five, six, seven, eight!” Our dance instructor counts with his hands on his waist.

I perform the dance steps diligently as I look down on my feet.

I don’t know why… but I really can’t face my partner – Vince.

No. He isn’t mocking me and… that’s just it! For once, he isn’t teasing me. No hurtful words, no foolish expressions… just the two of us, dancing. Because of that, he looks so normal.

Vince never does normal.

And what is so bad about his “normality”? Whenever Vince is –oh well— acting like a human being, my stomach can’t help doing a quick spin.

I hate the effect that he has on me.

Finally, I decide to just face him. No big deal! I would just take one peak. Besides, if I keep staring at my feet, I wouldn’t know if he is planning something evil against me.

I lift my eyes and it meets his.

And I see a donkey face.

A whaa---?

I get out of bed, awakened by my crazy dream.

Why did I suddenly imagine that? Trust me, I am never a fan of donkeys… except for the one in the Shrek movie. I am a fan of frogs though. They have those big eyes plus they can turn into a prince if you kiss them. Donkeys are gross.

Yuck! I suddenly imagine kissing a donkey. I distance from my bed before I can go totally insane.

I head to the kitchen and I see my mom.

“Good morning!” I greet her with a smile.

“You’re up early. You and Andy usually get into a ninja fight before he could wake you up.” She says.

I chuckle. Let’s just say that I had a bad dream.

Where’s Andy anyway?

I quickly peek into his room. Miraculously, he is still asleep.

Then, I decide to eat my breakfast before I forget to do so. I gobble up some bacon and cheese plus a warm glass of milk.

Surprisingly, I’m incredible on schedule that morning. In no time, I am already taking a bath.

As I finish preparing for school, I sit down at the couch. This really feels different to me. Normally, I’d be rushing out because the bus is already there. That’s why I never have the time to just sit here.

When the bus came, I leave the house as silent as possible. No one even notices that I am already gone… even Andy.

Cheers for some wicked ninja skills!

This morning is a great start. I just hope that the day would end with this silence too. Yes, a great and peaceful silence that could rock my heart to sleep.

“How was that step again? Do you have to step with your right foot or your left foot?” I ask Jaime.

“You point your right foot then you would step with your left.” She answers.

Jaime and I are practicing on the side of the auditorium. We are really trying hard to polish the routine.
