TEN.


"I give up." Pabagsak akong naupo sa sofa habang nagpupunas ng pawis while Carrie just ignored me and fetched her phone then a minute later, I heard a music again which I was listening to in the past 5 hours.

"I'm tired, Carrie. Can't we take a break?" She just shooked her head. The past 2 hours of our practice she became quiet and just watched my movements.

I danced the routine again, I don't know what's wrong with her that she kept repeating the music then I have to do is dance. All the time I was dancing she was just observing me.

Suddenly she stopped the music, and by that time I know she spotted something wrong in my movement again. I didn't know she was this strict!

Well, this is much better than to be the clown of the year if I agreed to practice with Vince's group.

Pinatugtog niya ulit sa umpisa 'yung kanta, and I just danced carefreely, not minding anything because at that time all I think about is bed. Sleep.

And Carrie is literally not helping!

I when she paused the music again, "What?" Iritado kong tanong kay Carrie na nakatitig sakin.

"You look dumb."

"Shut up Rai. I'm thinking."

"Wow, you actually have the brain to think?"

"Of course, I'm not just beautiful, I'm also a genius."

"Genius, my ass."

A few minutes later, Carrie sighed as if she is so tired of her life. I think I should be the one sighing my lungs out here? Yeah?

"Do I really suck that bad for you to sigh like that?"

She nodded. "Yes." Aray ha, napakastraight to the point naman, wala man lang paligoy-ligoy?

I just sat at the sofa and let my thoughts fly around.

Ang layo na nga ata ng narating ng utak ko, umabot na ata sa Mars.

"But.." I looked at her, "I think I have a solution for that."

"What?"

"I called a friend."

"Who's that?"

"Leilac."

Nagkibit balikat lang ako, "Don't know her."

"Nagtanong ka pa, 'di mo naman pala kilala. Sabagay you're not fond of names nga pala."

"Well, what do I expect Carrie? You're everyone's friend kaya. Duh?" I rolled my eyes.

"Whatever, Rai."

I was watching when someone rang on the doorbell.

"Rai! The door please!" Carrie shouted from her room.

I stood up, "Fine."

"I'm warning you. No more troubles, okay?"

My jaw dropped when  I saw who's at the back of the door I opened, "What the..."

"YOU!"

"RAI!"

"What are you doing there Rai..." his word slowed down when he observed me from head to toe.

I snapped in front of him, "Stop staring, jackass!"

"Ano nga kasi ginagawa mo diyan? And you're just wearing shorts and oversized t-shirt,"  and his face expression changed as if he just realize something, "Don't tell me you have a live-in partner?!"
