THE IDOL AND THE ANTI-FAN (CloudPlay Series 1)

PROLOGUE

It's already 9pm at kalalabas ko lang galing BC(Bonifacio Academy). Hindi daw ako masusundo ni dadi kaya magco commute nalang siguro ako. Naglakad nalang ako patungo sa highway para doon nalang mag antay ng taxi.

Kumunot ang noo ko nang makarating ako sa highway at napansin kong maraming taong nagku kumpulan sa gitna at may naririnig akong kanta mula doon.

The song sounds familiar. Lagi iyong tinutugtog sa BC tuwing recess time. My classmates said na kanta daw iyon ng sikat na group na CloudPlay. I don't know that group particularly sa members pero sabi ng mga classmates ko the group consist of five talented men that can do singing and dancing. And their leader daw is the first son of Bonifacio Academy owner.

Hindi ko lang alam kung totoo ba since I'm not a fan of that thing. Well you can consider me as Anti-fan but not the basher one. Hindi lang talaga ako fan ng mga group group na iyan. Pero I do appreciate songs. Hindi ko ngalang ina alam kung sino kumanta. Basta pag nagustuhan ko ipapa tugtog ko. Ganun lang.

I'm not that type of person na magiging super fan or something na pupunta sa mga concert, fanmeet, and etchetera. Pero I'm not saying din naman na bad mag fan girl or fan boy. That's what I heard my classmates called the fans. It's just that, wala akong hilig sa ganyan. So like what I've said, you can call me an Anti-fan but not a basher.

I stopped nang makalapit na ako sa kumpulan. Sumilip ako sa mga pinalilibotan nila. I'm just curious sabi kasi ng mga classmates ko hindi lang sila talented pinagpala din daw sila sa good looks so I want to see it myself. Minsan kasi exaggerated sila.

I saw five men dancing and vibing the song. Hindi ko masyadong makita ang mukha nila cause they're exchanging formation and positions. At masasabi kong magagaling nga sila. They have the moves. And ang cool nilang tignan. But just like what I've said, I appreciate their talents pero fan boying is not my thing.

I'm with my phone exchanging message with my Mami when someone grab my hand gently. Gulat na napatingin ako sa taong humatak sakin at dinala ako sa gitna kung saan sila sumasayaw. He's the man I bumped earlier. So he's one of the member of CloudPlay.

I looked around when I heard loud claps and cheers from the crowd. And just when I realized na nasa gitna na pala ako ng kumpulan ng mga tao habang nasa harap ko ang lalaking nabangga ko kanina at sumasayaw sa harap ko.

Oh My God. This is embarrassing.

I covered my face with my jackets hoodie. I'm glad na sinuot ko 'to kanina bago ako lumabas ng BC. God. This is hilarious. Ayokong maging trending bukas just because nasa harapan ko sumasayaw ang isang member ng sikat na group.

I look at him. He's smiling. He do really have the moves. Ang galing niya and plus the fact na gwapo siya. Totoo nga ang sinabi ng mga classmates ko. They're blessed with not just talents but also the good looks.

"You're cute." Bulong nito habang sinasayawan ako.

Kumunot ang noo ko dahil sa tono ng boses nito. Ewww he's flirting with me. He's using his flirtatious voice over me.

"I knew it already. And for your information mister. I'm not just cute. I'm pretty good looking." Turan ko dito bago marahang umatras palayo dito.

Malandi siya. I need to stay away from him. Tskk.

He just smirk because of my response and dance again habang papalapit sa direksyon ko. And just when he stood Infront of me again. My phone vibrated from my jackets pocket. I took it at hindi pinansin ang lalaking sumasayaw parin sa harap ko.

Bahala siya diyan ma pagod kaka sayaw nang hindi pinapansin. Bakit kasi ako ang hinatak niya mga taong naka paligid e hindi naman ako fan. Na curious lang.

After sending my reply to my dadi. I put back my cellphone to my jackets pocket.

"So... You're going home." He said. I raised my brow's because of what he said. Binasa niya ang text ni dadi. "I saw a glimpse of it. Sorry."

I just rolled my eyes. "It's rude to read someone's message mister. And also let go of my waist. I need to go." Walang buhay kong tinagtag ang braso na hawak nito.

"You're not our fan." He said.

"I'm not. Sino ba nagsabi sayong fan niyo ako?"

"So you're a basher?" He asked.

"No. I'm not."

"Then what are you?"

"Anti-fan."

I simply said those words before leaving him in that crowded place.

*****

And that's our first encounter.
I am Nat Arctic Tuazon, and I am an Anti-fan.
