It's their Talent Portion already. After this, Long Gown Competition na. Shit, I'm going to serenade them na!

I am the who's tasked here. Ang hirap din pala. Kasi ang hirap din i-approach ng mga Professor's. I mean, nahihiya akong i-approach sila kasi few of them are so intimidating.

Maya-maya pa'y natapos na ang apat, at si Professor Kat. The living barbie doll. Wearing her signature sweet smile. She looks like Miss Universe - Russia. Catriona Gray's batch.

"Hey, Prof! You're up next! Good luck!" I nicely said. Ginawaran naman ako nito ng napakatamis na ngiti.

"Thanks, Miss Bautista!"

I think she's going to dance ballet based on her outfit. Well, she made a good decision. Living barbie naman kasi kaya bagay talaga sa kaniya ang gagawin niya talent ngayon.

Nasa kalagitnaan na ng performance si Prof. Kat kaya bumalik na ako ng backstage to aware candidate number six.

I looked for Professor Shaharra and found her na nasa dressing room pa rin. Wearing her headphones kaya siguro hindi niya ako narinig kanina. She's wearing Moana's costume. Nakalugay ang mahabang kulot niyang buhok. Good choice again! I think she's going to sung one of Moana's song in the movie Moana. Bagay na bagay kasi nga kayumanggi ang balat niya. Ang cute ng cheeks niya, gosh! Sarap pisilin!

"Miss Sha. You're up next. Patapos na rin po si Miss Kat. You should prepare." Saad ko sabay ngiti. Buti't approachable din pala siya. Sabay kaming pumunta sa backstage.

Napatingin ako kay Prof. Shaharra ng malakas itong napabuntong hininga. I guess she's a bit nervous. Kaya kinuha ko ang atensyon nito to cheer her up.

"Miss, don't be nervous. You got this. Tiwala lang. Good luck!" And I gently tapped her shoulders that made her smile. Arggg, ang cute ng cheeks niya.

"Thanks, Zielle!" I smiled.

"Wow! That was fantastic! One of the best live performance I ever witnessed. I didn't know our might living barbie doll Professor can blow our minds by her performance, huh. Right, partner?" ate Vien commented. One of the emcee's and one of our clubmates. Masscom student ba naman.

"You're right, partner. Indeed a great performance. That took my sanity away!" kuya Theo replied. He's gay, alright. Masscom student rin and our clubmate.

"Next is, from College of Hotel and Restaurant Management. Let's give a round of applause for..." Panimula ni ate Vien.

"Professor Shaharra Delni Filton!" Sabay na bigkas nila as the crowd started cheering, screaming, and whistling. Hindi nga lang gaano ka rami tulad ng kay Miss Natalia kanina.

The light turned off. And then suddenly, it turned dimlight. The spotlight turned to Miss Sha who's standing effortlessly while her bent down.

As on cue, the music started right after she raised her head.

"I've been staring at the edge of the water
'Long as I can remember
Never really knowing why..."

As the crowd became wild. Panimula pa lang iyan! Her voice is good. Magka-boses na magkaboses sila ni Moana.

"I wish I could be the perfect daughter
But I come back to the water
No matter how hard I try

Every turn I take
Every trail I track
Every path I make
Every road leads back
To the place I know where I cannot go
Where I long to be

See the line where the sky meets the sea?
It calls me

I know everybody on this island
Seems so happy on this island
Everything is by design
I know everybody on this island
Has a role on this island
So maybe I can roll with mine

I can lead with pride
I can make us strong

See the light as it shines on the sea?
It's blinding
But no one knows
How deep it goes

And it seems like it's calling out to me
So come find me
And let me know
What's beyond that line?
Will I cross that line?"

I almost forgot. Naaliw ako sa performance ni Miss Sha, e. Kaya patakbo kong tinahak ang dressing room upang hanapin si Miss Natalia kasi wala siya sa backstage. And there I found her, happily talking to Nic. Exchanging smiles and sweet gestures. Why I suddenly felt irritation after seeing them like this.

I cleared my throat to get their attention. Hindi naman ako nabigo dahil nakuha ko ang atensyon nila pareho. Nic smiled at me while Miss Natalia just rolled her eyes right after seeing me. Ganun na ba kapangit itsura ko para ganyanin niya.

"Good evening, Mister. Professor Medina, you're up next. Get ready, po. 3 minutes." I formally stated that made Miss Natalia frown.

Tss, sana hindi ka na lang sumali para hindi kayo naiisturbo sa landian niyo, I said at the back of my mind.

"She'll be there." Sagot ni Nic at ngumiti pa. Ugok! Mukha kang unggoy!

But before I totally turned my back, hindi nakawala sa paningin ko ang paghalik niya sa labi ni Miss Natalia. Ew! How could she let herself kissed by an ugliest monkey alive?!

Padabog akong naglakad pabalik sa backstage dahil sa nasaksihan. How dare them flirt right in front of my beautiful face?!

Saktong pagbalik ko sa backstage ay siyang sigawan ng mga tao sa labas hudyat na tapos na si Miss Shaharra. Pero ng luminganga ako ay hindi ko pa rin nakikita si Miss Natalia. Nakita ko ng nasa backstage na si Miss Sha pero ang dakilang propesora niyo wala pa rin. Ghad! Hindi pa rin ba sila tapos maglampungan? Na kulang na lang mag-sex sila sa harapan ko kanina!

"That was a euphonious performance. I feel like I watched live in a theater. Right, partner?"

"Sooo right, partner. Our Professor Filton is like a living Moana ha."

The emcee's commented habang ako ay aligaga na kung nasaan na ba siya. Takte! Pinapahirapan niya ba trabaho ko? O uhaw lang talaga siya sa landi? Nakakainis ha!

Akmang tatahakin ko na sana ang dressing room ng makita ko na silang kakalabas lang. Pero ang mga pucha huminto pa para lang maghalikan ulit. Nakapulupot ang mga braso nito sa batok nung Nic na iyon. They look like a monkeys now. Ew. Nakakarindi kaya silang tignan. And I don't freakin' know what the fucking hell I am talking about.

Dahil inis na inis na ako kakahintay ay nilapitan ko na sila.

"Excuse me. I'm afraid I have to interrupt your moment coz Professor Medina, it's your turn. Miss Sha's already done. They're waiting for you, po." Magalang na sambit ko pero sa loob-loob ko gusto ko na silang sigawan. Nagsasayang sila ng oras.

I mentally rolled my eyes ng humirit pa ulit sila ng halik. Nakakatangina 'to ah!

Ngumiti ako sa unggoy matapos akong lagpasan ng magaling kong propesora. Agad namang sinundan ng makasalanang mata ko ang bawat hakbang niya. Gosh, she's like a Victoria Secret model of the way she sway her hips. But got my attention on what she's wearing.

She's wearing a Midi Dress Featuring Square Neckline and Puff Short Sleeves that looks good on her, and fits her curves. She looks so stunning. Ghad, it suits her so well.
