"Shuta ang gwapo ni Tadahiro!" tili ni Evette pero hindi naman maririnig kasi maingay sa loob ng MPH. Nagsimula na ang production number at tama siya, super gwapo ni Tadahiro. I didn't know he can dance!


I saw how the candidates ramped on the runway, ang ganda din ng partner ni Tadahiro. I can clearly see their chemistry. Tama mga ganyan ang tipo ni Tadahiro sa babae. I shook my head, what the hell am I thinking about.


I shouted my lungs out cheering for both my team and Tadahiro. Tadahiro alone. I won't cheer for his partner of course. Selfish kung selfish. Napa tigil ako sa pag sigaw when I saw something flashed in my direction.


Nakangiting nag peace sign sa akin si Alora "Ano ba yang trip mo" sabi ko pero tinawan niya lamang ako "You look cute kaya. You look like some stage girlfriend or something, kahit hindi naman kayo" she stuck her tongue at me


I clasped my hands together as I looked at Tadahiro holding his partners hand as they walk towards the middle stage, he was holding a guitar. I was shocked when he started strumming the guitar and started singing. His partner started dancing along the lyrics of his song.


"Why did I run away, run away, run away? Oh, your love was everything, everything, everything. I know it's gettin' late, gettin' late, gettin' late But can I still be on my way, on my way? Yeah" he sung and he started looking at the crowd, ang mga mata niya, parang may hinahanap



"I know I said goodbye and baby, you said it too But when I touch her, I feel like I'm cheatin' on you I thought that I'd be better when I found someone new. But when I touch her, I feel like I'm cheatin' on you" my heart started pounding fast when his eyes met mine, at first I think I was only imagining things but he eyes did not left mine, he was staring at me!


"Omg! May tinititigan si Tadahiro!"


"Hala! Oo nga! Sino kaya ang tinititigan niya? Shet baka ako?!"


"Gaga ang feelingera mo"


Rinig ko ang mga salita ng mga babae sa katabi ko, well they didn't even whisper to each other, maybe because sobrang lakas ng music at baka hindi nila ma rinigang isa't isa.


"I know I said goodbye and baby, you said it too. But when I touch her, I feel like I'm cheatin' on you. I thought that I'd be better when I found someone new. But when I touch her, I feel like I'm cheatin' on you. Baby, no, oh. Cheatin' on you. Baby, no. Oh, when I touch her, I feel like I'm cheatin' on you. I said goodbye. And you said goodbye" the song ended, his partner was sitting down the floor, her head was on Tadahiro's lap while Tadahiro did not even look at her, his eyes are still locked on mine


Luckily, they both have to change and prepare for the next category kaya medyo naka hinga ako ng maluwag "Gaga ka! Ano yun ha?!" kinurot ni Alora ang gilid ko "H-ha?" I confusingly asked her "Don't me Celestine Eliana. Kitang kita ko kung paano kayo mag titigan ni Tadahiro kanina!"


"Trueness! Ang haharot ha! Sa harap pa talaga ng maraming tao. Kaloka kayo. Respeto naman sa single" asik ni Evette "Gaga may jowa ka" sabat naman ni Alora "Shunga hindi ko sinabi sakin. Duh! syempre respeto sayo" Evette smirked at Alora


Tumahimik na kaming tatlo when the music started, the candidates ramped again wearing their formal attire. I smiled looking at Tadahiro wearing a white Tuxedo, his hair is brushed up which made him looked clean and elegant. Sophia, his partner, looked sexy and daring with her red long gown


Tadahiro made it to top 3! I was literally jumping the hell out of me when they called his name. It is time for the question and answer, lumapit na si Tadahiro sa emcee and he picked out a question


"Good evening Mister Amalier" the emcee greeted him


"Good evening" he greeted back, the emcee read his question "What do you think you will gain after joining this competition?"


"I want to be honest, I joined this competition because of this girl. She did not really ask me to join, but when I talked to her, it looks like she was anticipating for me to join. I joined because I want her to notice me. For me, the only thing that I could gain from joining this pageant, is confidence. Not only in myself, but I am hoping to gain confidence in confessing my feelings to her. It might be selfish to some, but that is what I think. Thank you" he clearly stated his answer, so he has his eyes set on someone already, bigla akong nakaramdam ng kirot


What the hell, why am I hurt? Malamang sa gwapo niyang yan, normal lang talaga na may magugustuhan siya. Stupid Celestine, ayan kasi. Assume pa. I almost banged my head sa sahig if only hindi lang madami ang tao sa gym.


After hearing his answer, bigla akong nawalan ng gana. I felt weak, and I did not even know why. They announced the winner, and of course, without a doubt, Tadahiro won Mister SHS Intramurals. His partner did not win though. She only got 2nd place. Ang candidate ng team ko ang nanalo for Miss SHS Intramurals.


Natapos na din ang awarding and I saw how his friends rushed to the stage para magpa picture sa kanya, Alora asked me if magpapa picture din ako pero umiling na lamang ako. "Ano oras pala kayo susunduin?" I changed the topic


The three of us walked towards the gate para hintayin ang sundo namin. I was busy typing when I heard Tadahiro's friend walked pass by me. Napatingin ako sa kanila, weird, bakit wala si Tadahiro?


"Found you" agad naman ako napalingon, and I saw him behind me, smirking
