Dance The Pain Away

Get out

I woke up because of the sunlight from the window that's hitting my face. I opened my eyes and took a glance at my alarm clock, my eyes widened because it was already eight thirty in the morning and my first class will start at nine.

My head is throbbing because due to lack of sleep but I didn't have the time to  care. I hurriedly stood up and run towards the bathroom to take a bath, after taking a bath, I went inside my walk in closet to fix myself.

Agad akong bumaba pakatapos ko mag ayos at diretsong maglalakad na sana papunta sa garage nang bigla akong tawagin ni Bastien.

"Young Lady!"

"What? Make it fast, I'm already late." Sabi ko.

"Your breakfast is ready." Anak ng pota.

"You can have it." I said irritatedly before walking away.

Pagdating ko sa university ay kaliwa't kanan ang bumabati sa'kin pero hindi ko na sila nagawang pagtuonan ng pansin dahil ten minutes na akong late.

Hinihingal ako nang tumapat sa pinto ng classroom kaya niluwagan ko muna ang necktie ko at binuksan ang unang butones ng long sleeves bago kumatok ng tatlong beses.

As soon as the door opens our eyes immediately met, I was stunned for I don't know how long because of her mesmerizing cold eyes.

"Yes?" She asked using her cold voice.

"May I enter?" Magalang kong tanong.

Walang emosyon muna ako nitong tiningnan bago ako pinapasok. Akmang uupo na sana ako sa upuan ko ng bigla ako nitong pinigilan.

"Yes, ma'am?"

"Introduce yourself." Utos nito.

Hindi nga pala ako nakapagpakilala kahapon dahil sinumpong ako ng antok. I stood up straight before introducing myself.

"Anari Fuego, 24 years old, I love playing instruments and singing." I introduced myself confidently.

"Okay, you may take your seat." Sabi nito.

"I'm not finished yet, ma'am." Nagsalubong ang medyo may kakapalan niyang kilay dahil sa sinabi ko.

"Fine, continue." May bahid ng iritasyong sabi nito.

"Future businesswoman," I stopped midway na mas lalong ikinasalubong ng kilay nito.

Hindi ko alam kung anong kulto, rebulto o kaluluwa ang sumapi sa'kin dahil inaatake ako ng pagiging maharot ko.

"Pero nung nakita kita nagbago isip ko, ma'am." Nakangising sabi ko.

"What? Are you saying that you want to be a professor too?" Nagtatakang tanong nito.

"No, ma'am." Agad na sagot ko habang nakangisi parin.

"Then, what?"

"Bigla kong nalang naisip na..."

"Stop kidding around, Fuego." Inis na inis na ang propesora niyo.

"Future businesswoman pero kung hindi papalarin..." I smiled playfully before continuing.

"Future mo nalang, ma'am. "

The whole room was filled with laughter and teasing because of what I said while Prof. Russo was still quiet.

"Are you flirting with me, Fuego?" She asked coldly that made everyone silent.

Bigla akong kinabahan dahil sa sobrang lamig ng boses niya. Parang gusto ko nalang kutusan ang sarili ko pero hindi pwede to, huwag kang papadala self.
