Fionna

"Hoy babae! Kahit kelan napakakupad mo!" Halos mapasabunot ako sa saril ko dahil sa ingay ni Nathalie.

"Ikaw kung hindi lang kita bestfriend? Kanina pa kita sinabunutan at kinaladkad sa labas" sabi ko sa kanya at sumunod na sa kanya palabas. Kasalanan ko bang lagi akong nawawalan ng gamit?

"Dali late na tayo" sabi niya

"Don't me nga. 30 minutes pa oh." Habang nakasakay sa elevator pababa ay nakasabay namin ang ibang lalaki na papasok din.

"Nandun na sila?" Tanong ni Nathalie.

"Obvious ba Nathalie? Tanong pa eh" sabi ko kaya nabatukan nya tuloy ako.

Napatingin ako kay Vince na nagpapractice kumanta. Tsk, pakanta kanta pa kasi. Sana sumayaw nalang sya kesa kumanta nang may kaduet.

"Makatingin ka naman. Baka matunaw ako ha?" Sabi niya kaya napairap nalang ako.

Pagdating namin sa room ay sakto ring magsisimula na ang klase.

"At ikaw Fionna ang mauuna" sabay turo sakin ni Ms.Chin kaya nanlaki ang mata ko at napatingin din sa director.

"Hindi dapat kami pinaghihintay, Fionna"

Pumwesto na ako sa harap para wala ng away. Nilapag ko muna yung bag ko syempre saka pinatugtog ni Ms. Yung kakantahin ko.

"I'm so glad you made time to see me.
How's life? Tell me how's your family?
I haven't seen them in a while.
You've been good, busier than ever,
We small talk, work and the weather,
Your guard is up and I know why.
Because the last time you saw me
Is still burned in the back of your mind.
You gave me roses and I left them there to die.

So this is me swallowing my pride,
Standing in front of you saying, "I'm sorry for that night,"
And I go back to December all the time.
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you.
Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine.
I'd go back to December, turn around and make it all right.
I go back to December all the time.

These days I haven't been sleeping,
Staying up, playing back myself leavin'.
When your birthday passed and I didn't call.
And I think about summer, all the beautiful times,
I watched you laughing from the passenger side.
Realized I loved you in the fall.

And then the cold came, the dark days when fear crept into my mind
You gave me all your love and all I gave you was "Goodbye".

So this is me swallowing my pride
Standing in front of you saying, "I'm sorry for that night."
And I go back to December all the time.
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you,
Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine.
I'd go back to December, turn around and change my own mind
I go back to December all the time.

I miss your tanned skin, your sweet smile,
So good to me, so right
And how you held me in your arms that September night
The first time you ever saw me cry.

Maybe this is wishful thinking,
Probably mindless dreaming,
But if we loved again, I swear I'd love you right.

I'd go back in time and change it but I can't.
So if the chain is on your door I understand.

But this is me swallowing my pride
Standing in front of you saying, "I'm sorry for that night."
And I go back to December...
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you,
Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine.
I'd go back to December, turn around and make it all right.
I'd go back to December, turn around and change my own mind

I go back to December all the time.
All the time."

Nagpalakpakan sila pagkatapos ko kumanta at pumwesto naman si Star at Madison at kumanta saka sumayaw. Nays ha. Mukhang mapapasali pa sila sa program.

"So the last performers are Unice, Vince, Mark, Gian, Hiro, Renz at Gian. Bukas yung continuation dahil may meeting pa si director. Say goodbye"

Tumayo kaming lahat at nagpaalam na sa director. Ang daya naman. Dapat magpeperform na sila ngayon para training nanaman bukas.

"So yung lesson natin is choosing a song. Hindi pwedeng basta basta nalang kayo pipili ng kantang gusto nyo. Una, pipili kayo nang kantang kaya nyong kantahin. Kung mataas boses nyo, piliin nyo yung kantang mataas din pero! Kayang dalhin ng emosyon nyo. I have three tips para maging effective ang pagkanta nyo. First is, eyecontact. Tumingin kayo sa audience. Kung love song, tumingin kayo sa naging inspirasyon nyo o sa taong gusto nyo. Second, don't use poker face. Magkaron naman sana ng emosyon. And Third, is Rehearse, rehearse, rehearse!"

"Miss kelan po exact date ng program? Para po makapaghanda kami" sabi ni Madison. Wow, sure na sure na makakasali?

"October 30"

"What?!"
"Why?!"
"Miss!"
"Hala!"

Alam nyo bakit ganyan reaksyon namin? Sembreak kaya yun -.- imbis na nagpapahinga kami ay paggagawain kami? How dare them.

"Oh ano? Makareklamo kayo ha"

"Eh miss Chin sembreak yon! Di po ba pahinga namin yun?" Sabi ni Travis kaya nagkaroon ng mga sumunod na salita kaya nagingay lalo.

"Sembreak nyo nga. Nasa inyo yun kung gusto nyong makapagperform o hindi. Malaking opportunity yun kung hindi nyo kukunin. Kung hindi kayo makakapagperform, malaki ang mawawala sa inyo. Kumbaga sa academics, wala kayong grades"

"Miss naman." Pabulong na sabi ni Unice sa likod ko.

"Edi hindi po kami makakauwi ngayong sembreak?" -Star

"Yes."
