PART 1 OF 12

"From the top," our dance trainer sighed as he told us to go back from the top.

I also sighed before going back to my first position. The good thing is that we already finished our dance routine so our polishing will be early this week. And also, the foundation week is fast approaching so we need to double time.

My position was always in the center that's why the pressure was all on me. Saakin nakasalalay ang buong performance dahil ako ang palaging nasa gitna. But it's not a big deal for me to be at the center because ever since I joined the dance club, this was where I've always been placed.

Hindi ko nabilang kung ilang ulit kaming pabalik-balik para maging perpekto ang sayaw, kaya naman pagkatapos naming ay abot langit ang paghahabol ko ng hangin upang makahinga. Para akong nawalan ng hangin kaya agad akong napa-inom ng tubig. Mabuti nalang at pwede na kaming umuwi kaya nagpahinga muna ako saglit.

Habang umiinom ng tubig ay biglang lumapit si Lestina saakin.

"Huwag mong sabihing makikiinom ka na naman?" agad na sabi ko pagkatapos niyang makalapit. Inunahan ko na siyang sabihin 'yon dahil dahil alam kong doon patungo ang usapan.

"Luh, hindi no! May dala kaya akong tubig," depensa kaagad ni Lestina at ipinakita ang dalang water bottle.

Hindi nalang ako sumagot at patawang umiling. Lumapit na rin si Heisha saamin at nag-ayang pumunta ng cr upang makapagbihis ng t-shirt. Sumang-ayon naman kami kaagad at inayos ang mga gamit para makaalis na.

Mabilis lang kaming natapos sa pagbihis kaya naman paglabas namin ng banyo ay napatingin muna ako sa orasan na nasa palapulsuhan. Ilang minute nalang ay 6:30 na kaya hindi nakakapagtakang madilim na ang kalangitan.

Hindi na gaanong marami ang mga estudyanteng nakasalubong namin sa pasilyo at ang iba naman ay unti-unti ng lumalabas ng campus.

"Your dad will not pick you up, Heish?" I asked Heisha after I realized that she was so confident to go home while the sky is already dark.

"I don't know. He didn't inform me," Heisha answered and just focused her sight on our way. Napatango nalang din kami ni Lestina at hindi na siya tinanong pa.

The three of us talked while we were walking on the hallway. We are already near the main gate when our attention was suddenly focused on a man who just came. The three of us stopped walking and even looked at each other.

A man with his plain black long sleeve looked so intimidating. He's even wearing an eyeglass and his features are obviously the features that was being inherited to Heisha.

Dahil sa gulat at hiya ay hindi na namin napigilan ni Lestina na bumati.

"Good evening, sir." Lestina and I greeted unconfidently. Napayuko kami ulit pagkatapos lumapit ni Heisha sa kanyang ama. Napalingon din ang daddy niya bago kami sinagot.
