"Nathalie!"

Lumingon ako nang narinig 'kong may tumawag sa pangalan 'ko. There she is, Nadz, my best friend.

"Tagal mo ha," sabi niya habang papalapit ako sa upuan na ni-reserve niya para sa akin.

"Girl, napakahaba kaya ng pila sa sakayan! Ang aga pa ng call time dito sa school e mamimili palang naman ng club," reklamo 'ko.

"I know right tapos ang init pa," reklamo niya rin habang pa-upo ako.

Nandito kami ngayon sa loob ng auditorium dahil may program na isasagawa kung saan kailangan i-promote ng mga club members sa mga freshman students and club nila. Wala talaga akong balak na sumali ng club pero dahil required, kailangan 'kong sumali.

"Audience, please settle yourselves as we are about to start our program. Thank you." announce ng mc.

Pagkatapos ng ilang ceremonies ay isa-isa nang nag-promote ang bawat club organizations. May film club, arts club, pastry club, theater club, at iba pa. Ang ibang club ay pinakita ang mga output nila from last school year at ang iba ay nagbigay ng sample.

"Saan mo balak sumali?" tanong ni Nadz sa akin.

"Fashion club," sagot 'ko.

Balak 'ko talagang sumali sa fashion club dahil hilig 'ko talaga iyon. Gusto 'kong binibihisan ang kapatid 'ko, si Nadz, at iba pang mga kakilala 'ko. Minsan ay ako pa mismo ang nagtatahi ng sarili 'kong damit. Nakakatuwa kasi magtahi at mag-style ng mga damit. Para bang na-eexpress ko ang sarili 'ko rito. Feeling 'ko ako ang pinaka-confident na tao sa mundo kapag feel na feel 'ko yung suot 'ko.

"Before we head into the next club organizations, let me call on Puma Dance Crew for an intermission number." sabi ng mc.

"Taray! May pa-intermission!" sigaw ng isang student malapit sa amin.

"Intermission 'yan?" biro naman ng isa ring estudyante.

Lahat kami ay tumawa sa biro ng ibang freshman students nang narinig na namin ang intro ng music na hudyat na magsisimula na ang intermission number.

You put me on a pedestal

and tell me I'm the best

Nahuli ng performers ang atensyon naming mga manonood dahil sa catchy na beat nito at sa galing ng mga sumasayaw.

Raise me up into the sky

until I'm short of breath

Ngunit iisa lang ang nakahuli ng atensyon 'ko.

But what if I what if I trip,

what if I what if I fall

Tall. Well proportioned. Charismatic. That's how I would describe him in words. He dances passionately as if his life depends on it. He's effortlessly hitting every beat of the song. He's pulling of those facial expressions to add spice into the performance.

Please just let me know

Please don't let me fall

Oh, please don't let me fall

His moves..

The way he dances..

And he, himself..

Oh, please I think I'm falling.
