KWENTONG VARSITY JACKET: TRENDING SA PUSO KO

5

"Ladies & Gentlemen, let us all welcome the Dance Princess & the Dance Prince for an impromptu showdown. A round of applause, please!" sabi ng Emcee at nagpalakpakan.

Nagulat ako sa narinig ko. IMPROMPTU SHOWDOWN?? DANCE PRINCESS?? DANCE PRINCE?? Ano yun?? Ako ba yung dance princess? Wala akong alam.

"You can do it, Ms. Escueva." sabi ng MAPEH teacher ko at tinap nya yung balikat ko.

Tapos yun na, lumabas na ako mula sa left side ng back stage. Nakakabingi nga yung hiyawan, palakpakan at tilian ng mga estudyante.

Lumabas mula sa right side ng back stage yung kaprecorn. Ano ba pangalan nun?? Ewan.

Daaah! Naka-VARSITY JACKET SIYA !! Siya ba yung dance prince? IMPOSIBLE !!

Nagsimula ng mag-play yung music.

Everything I know about love I learned from you, from you

And everything I know about pain I learned from you, from you

You were my only, You were my first

You showed me lonely, and you took me in when I was hurt

But the most important thing you ever gave me,

You was the one that hurt the most

Parang tuod lang ako dun sa gitna na nakatayo habang siya naman ay nagsimulang sumayaw.

So thankyou for the broken heart, oh yeah

And thankyou for the permanent scar

Cause if it wasn't for you

I might forget, how it feels to let go

And how it feels to get a brand new start

After two verses nung kanta ay yung music ko naman yung nag-play kaya sumayaw din ako.

Dance, yes (RedOne)
Love, next
Dance, yes (J.Lo)
Love, next
Shimmy Shimmy yah, Shimmy yam
Shimmy yay
I'm a ol' dirty dog all day
No way Jose 

Ang nangyari ay naging salitan kami sa pagsaway. Showdown nga diba? Kaya ganun.

Okay, aaminin ko. Magaling yung kaprecorn sumayaw. Pero mas magaling parin ako (Nagbuhat ng sariling bangko).

Masigabong palakpakan ang natanggap namin nang

matapos kaming mag-showdown ni Kaprecorn.

Todo smile pa nga siya eh. Pwede ng pang-happee toothpaste.

Pero di ko siya matingnan kasi nababanas ako sa pagmumukha niya. Naka-varsity pa siya, dagdag inis!!

"They just prove that they deserve their titles. Ms. Arielle Dienale Escueva & Ravein Alexis Santiago, the Dance Prince&Princess. Let us give them a big hand," sabi nanaman ng emcee at nagpalakpakan nga ang audience. Nakaka-overwhelm nga yung feeling eh.

Tapos bigla bigla na lamang tumahimik ang lahat at nagplay yung kantang 'CAN THIS BE LOVE'.

Can this be love I'm feeling right now
I know for certain I'm feeling right now
I don't recall ever feeling this way
Tell me what does one say

Nagsalita yung kaprecorn.

"Arielle Dienale Escueva, I am Ravein Alexis Santiago."

To one who makes me feel this way
Can this be love I'm feeling right now
I am not sure of this feeling somehow
Why do I tremble whenever you're near
I can't seem to say my words so you'll hear

"Crush kita, matagal na. Ewan ko nga kung kelan nagsimula. One day I just woke up and realized one thing, na yung babaeng crush ko ay mahal ko na pala."

This is the first time I'm gonna say "I love you" It's the first time I ever felt so helpless deep inside
If I had to say a thousand times I'd tell you once again
This is the first time I'm gonna say "I love you"

"Napaka-absurd nga nung simula kasi hindi mo naman ako kilala. Pag nadadaanan mo ako 'di mo man lang ako napapansin. Pero hindi yun naging hadlang para mahalin kita ... "

Can this be love I'm feeling right now
I love the feeling it's giving me now

"Yung kahit na maging stalker ako ay okay lang. Masilayan lang kita."

This is the first time I'm gonna say "I love you"
It's the first time I ever felt so helpless deep inside
If I had to say a thousand times I'd tell you once again

"Sinasabi ko nga sa sarili ko na ang corny ko na, pero masaya talaga ako kahit makita ko lang mula sa malayo yung ngiti mo. "

This is the first time I'm gonna say "I love you"
This is the first time I'm gonna say "I love you"
It's the first time I ever felt so helpless deep inside

"At umabot nga ako dun sa puntong gumawa na'ko ng paraan para magtagpo ang ating mga landas ... "

If I had to say a thousand times I'd tell you once again
This is the first time
This is the first time
It's the first time I'm gonna say "I love you"

"Yung sa palengke, yung accidentally naapakan kita. Yung kaba ko nun sobra, pero narealize ko na it must be a start for me para magpakilala sa'yo."

This is the first time I'm gonna say "I love you"
It's the first time I ever felt so helpless deep inside

"Pero nung minsan hingan kita ng number at tinakbuhan mo lang ako ay parang bigla na lang nawala yung pag-asa kong maging malapit sayo."

If I had to say a thousand times I'd tell you once again
This is the first time I'm gonna say "I love you"

"But I've realized that even the world won't stop me from being with you -- my happiness, kahit pa nga tinakbuhan mo ulit ako kanina. So ..."

Lumuhod siya sa harap ko

"Arielle Dianale Escueva ... "

This is the first time I'm gonna say "I love you"
It's the first time I ever felt so helpless deep inside
If I had to say a thousand times I'd tell you once again
This is the first time I'm gonna say "I love you"

Tinanggal niya yung suot niyang varsity jacket at iniladlad sa harap ko.

Nagflashback bigla yung pangyayari na bumili ako ng damit -- yung varsity jacket na ipinilit ibigay nung cashier sa'kin at inuwi ko naman.) Ito yun eh, yung varsity jacket na hinahawakan niya at nakaladlad sa harapan ko.

"Will you please take this varsity jacket as a sign of my courtship?? " yung mukha niya at mga mata niya ay parang sinasabi sa'king 'Please, tanggapin mo'.

Tapos yung sinabi niya, yung mga sinabi niya parang isang bomba na sumabog sa harap ko. Hindi ko alam ang sasabin ko. Kung ano ba magiging reaksyon ko.

And the next thing I knew, SINAMPAL KO SIYA.

Nagback-out ako.
