03: Deja Vu

"Good morning, I see everyone's in their uniforms still. Unfortunately, today is finally a day of practice. Or should I say a day of challenge? You have three minutes to go change into your comfortable clothes because today, you will be attending my class and not Mister Lopez's."

Nagmadali lahat para pumunta sa lockers para kumuha ng damit nila.

Naghiwalay naman kami ni Ali para kumuha ng kanya-kanyang damit namin, lumapit ako sa tabi ni Lucas tsaka kinuha ang white shirt na hindi ko nagamit kahapon since wala naman kaming rehearsals o dance lesson.

Kinuha ko rin ang black jogging pants ko tsaka ang rubber shoes ko tsaka nagmadaling lumabas para magpalit sa malapit na restroom.

"Ano kayang challenge 'yung sinasabi ni Miss Prieto?"

"Mahilig talaga sa challenges si Miss."

"Kinakabahan ako kasi once ko lang siya naging teacher noong freshman."

"Buti nga freshman ang hawak niya, at least first year palang nad-disiplina na tayo."

"Ang hirap naman mag-adjust noon."

Rinig kong usapan ng ilang mga junior students sa loob ng restroom.

Lumabas din ako agad dahil baka ma-late ako.

Saktong pagbalik ko naman ay nagc-countdown na si Miss Prieto.

"Three..."

"Wala pa si Brian?" Bulong ko tsaka umupo sa tabi ni Lucas sa may sahig.

"Wala pa."

"Two..."

"Lagot nanaman mga late kay Miss," bulong sa amin ni Ali.

"And... one."

Saktong tayo niya nang dumating ang mga late na students, kasama si Brian na alam na agad ang mangyayari kaya nauna nang pumila sa harap.

"All of you, form a straight line."

Sinunod naman nila ang utos ni Miss Prieto.

"Give space for them, girls will do twenty squats and boys will do twenty push-ups. In one, two, three, go!"

Sabay-sabay na pumwesto ang lahat, they look so synchronized while counting each squats and push-ups they do.

"Fix your posture, that's not squats!"

"There she goes," Ali whispered.

"Isayad niyo 'yang mga mukha niyo, masyadong mataas!"

"Oof- that's two."

"Last one and they'll face another twenty," Lucas chuckled.

"Nineteen... Twenty!" Napaupo ang ilang girls na malamang hindi sanay sa squats, ilang boys naman parang wala lang katulad ni Brian.

"You may all take your seats," Miss Prieto commanded as she pulled a projector. "I want to show you something that will be relatively important for all of your performances this sem and festival season. Brian, do you mind turning off the lights?"

"Sure, Miss."

"Now everybody, pay good attention because I will be asking a question later. I will show two videos, the first one consists of four people and the second one will consist of two people."

No one dared to speak as the sound of the keyboard's click echoed inside the room.

Nagulat kami pare-parehas nang lumabas ang mukha namin nila Lucas at Brian kasama ang isa pang student na naka-blur ang mukha. The three of us knows very well who's the fourth dancer on the video.
