Heartlines of Time [Celestia Series #1]

II - 2

I woke up when I hear my phone keeps on ringing, I think 5 times na but iniignore ko lang because I thought someone is just pranking me. Nung nag ring ulit sinagot ko na baka kasi importante, when I put my phone in my ear nailayo ko agad ito dahil sa sigaw sa kabilang linya.

"Huyyyyy Aquila, nasaan kana?? Nakalimotan mo bang may practice ngayon?? Late kana ng 1 and half hour Ms President!! Sheee!" Sigaw ni Alyanna my best friend and the Vice President of our Dance Club.

I ignore her and look at my wall clock to check the time and yes I'm late!

"I'll be there in an hour" I said and immediately stand up from my bed.
"Hour? Di ba pwedeng 30 minutes? Juskoooo Aquila bilisan mo!" she shout again and ended the call

I did my morning routine and prepare my self for our practice. I only wear loose crop top pink shirt, a pink cargo pants and white shoes, for my hair I let it as it is. I also bring some extra shirt, water jug, some powder para iwas haggard. Sa School Activity Center (SAC) kami mag prapractice ngayon and since it's Sunday wala maman sigurong mag oocuppy dun. After I fix everything, I left my condo and drive my own car to my destination. Hindi pa nga ako nakakababa sa kotse nang tumawag ulit si Alyanna.

"What? Nasa parking ako!" I said after accepting her call
"Aquila may problema, The SSG officers didn't permit us to practice here in SAC or kahit sa Gym. Wala daw tayong letter or anything na nagpapatunay na pwede tayo mag stay sa school ngayon" she said problematically.

Uminit naman bigla ang dugo ko. Gago sila, nag prapractice nga kami para sa upcoming event ng SSG na yan kasi nakikiusap ang secretary nila na mag perform kami and then what now?

"Tell them fuck you" I said and turn off the call

I automatically headed towards the SAC with a death threat on my mind, I am always like this! Hot Headed bitch but what can I do? I don't want to explain, ayokong makipag talo mas gusto ko prankahan.

Nakita ko nagkukumpolan ang tatlong SSG officer at mga ka Dance Troupe ko, nag tatalo sila kung bakit ganito ganyan. I get their attention by fulling the volume of our clubs speaker, mabilis na umalingawngaw ang tunog at mabilis din silang lumingon sa direksyon ko.

Nagkibit balikat ako and ask my members to gather around. I saw the SSG leave the center, and I saw my members sighing as a relief, we all love dancing kahit hindi ka gaano marunong as long as your dedicated and willing to learn you are always welcome in our club. I lower the volume of the speaker as one of my member speak.

"Aquila your here! Thanks G, Akala namin mababaliw na kami mag explain dun sa mga closeminded na SSG na yun"
"Oo nga, mga superior amp!"

Maraming members ang nag rereklamo but I told them to not worry about it anymore and we should start our practice. They created a lot of steps na for the song I prepared so I learned it first and input my own dance steps. Nagpatuloy lang kami sa pag practice for 3 hours straight, I love how my members show passion at hindi nag rereklamo.

"Hey Aquila, are you sure that the secretary asked you to perform? I mean baka ginagago lang tayo" Alyanna approach me.
" It doesn't matter, atleast if hindi man totoo, we have our reserved dance for other matters right? But subukan lang nilang gagohin tayo! You know me?" I said smirking.

After another 2 hours of practice, we saw again the SSG Officers but this time may kasama na silang iba. I also saw the secretary who told us to perform.

"Gather around everyone! Pause the music first" I shout and sumunod naman lahat sa akin.

The tall man, wearing a long sleeve shirt, black pants and black shoes approach us. Take note his really HANDSOME!!! Amoy Johnson's baby Powder shuta! Jojowain po!! Narinig ko rin na nagbubulong bulongan ang mag ka mates ko.

"Who's your president here?? Or the vice president??" The tall man uses his deep voice said.

Nairita ako bigla , diko alam pero feeling ko may kinalaman to sa nangyari kanina.

"Me, why??" Iritang sabi ko sa kanya.

"Let's talk, with my secretary!" He said and left the SAC.

Natameme ako bigla, I don't know kung susunod ba ako or what? But I still follow him at the end. Napunta kami sa isang Pocket Forest na may round bench, malamig ang simoy ng hangin at tahimik. Hindi pa man nakakaupo ay nagsalita na ako, napansin ko rin na tahimik ang secretary at hindi maka tingin sa akin ng deretso. Naramdaman kong sumunod sa amin si Alyanna, Good thing .

"What do you want to talk?" I asked
" Can you sit down first??" The man said without looking at me.

Dahil papansin ako for today, naupo ako sa tabi niya gusto ko siyang inisin dahil alam kong amoy pawis ako at basang basa ang damit ko. Naupo naman si Alyanna ang ang secretary sa harap namin, I notice he avoided my body.

"First of all let me introduce myself, I'm ~"
"No need, were not interested naman sa name mo o kahit sa buhay mo! Dumeretso kana sa part na mas importante" I cut him off, nabigla si Alyanna sa akin kaya pinatid niya ako sa paa.

"Trisha, say something" he said coldly.
"First I'm sorry kasi diko nainform si President Villacross about sa pagpeperform niyo. Hindi nila alam na kayo ang nilapitan ko para mag perfo~"
"Putangina, literal na kami naman talaga palagi ang pinpuntahan para mag perform everytime my university activities dito or kahit ano! Anong sinasabi mong hindi niya alam? Dance club kami ng university, walang bayad free kami para mag perform as long as it's for the University! Gago ba kayo?" I said and turn to him. "So tell me! Are you?"

Natigilan siya at tiningnan ako sa Mata, first time niyang tumingin sa akin ng ganito. Hindi ko mabasa ang mga titig niya, his expression remained the same. The secretary talked again.

"Ms. Pres, Hindi po ganun yun. Kasalanan ko po kasi hindi ko na inform si Pres Enzo tungkol dito at sa practice niyo ngayon sa school. Sorry po talaga!"

"So ano to? Hindi kami talaga mag peperform?" Tanong ni Alyanna.

So he's Enzo Villacross? The most talked male representative and the face of university?? Huh! Natigilan ako nang siya ang sumagot sa tanong ni Alyanna, I feel jealous all of the sudden, bakit nung ako nag tanong di siya sumagot tas ngayon si Alyanna?

"Your dance troupe can still perform, we will arrange a letter for it, any questions?" He asked while typing on his tablet na dala² ng secretary kanina.

"None Kazuki Enzo" Sabi ni Alyanna at tumayo. Tumayo na rin ako at handa nang umalis. Natigilan ako nang bumulong si Enzo bigla sa gilid ko.

"To answer your question earlier, It depends on the people I face with"

I was stunned to speak, kaya di ko namalayan ako nalang pala mag isa sa pocket forest na yun. Wala na akong gana mag practice kaya I chat Alyanna na mauna na akong umuwi kasi may aasikasohin pa ako.
