Seven : First day of the Battle
MARA JESSICA
"Hay.. Kinakabahan ako!" Sabi ni Kie.
"Relax, mananalo din tayo." Pa cool na sabi ni Rena.
"Students, please proceed to the gym, thank you."
Yan ang paulit-ulit na sabi ng speaker.
Nag si tayuan naman ang mga kaklase namin at tumungo na sa gym. Kami? Naghahanda na para sa contest namin mamaya.
GYM
"Kinakabahan talaga ako. Jess, Pwede mag back out?" Mahinang pagmamakaawa ni Kie saken.
Umiling ako,"Nope, Naka praktis na kaya kayo." I said.
Napa buntong hininga naman siya.
"Contestants for the battle please proceed at the backstage." The MC announced. Kaya pumunta na kami sa backstage.
Actually, parang temporary stage lang ang stage na pinatayo dito, Gym kaya 'to? duh? (Lols)
Pinag bihis na namin sina Kie at Cass.
"Jess.. Kinakabahan talaga ako, What if, pumiyok ako? What if.. Nakalimutan ko ang line ko? What if--"Pinutol ko na kung ano man ang sasabihin ni Kielyn.
Hinawakan ko siya sa balikat. I looked straight into her eyes,"Kielyn, Listen. I don't care kung mapiyok o nakalimutan mo ang lines mo, andyan si Cass na i back up ka. Okay? Manalo man o matalo, wala akong pake." I said. Tumango lang siya.
I patted her back,"Good."
"Ladies and Gentlemen! Are you ready for the battle?" We heard the MC asked.
We heard the students made some noise.
"Who do you think will win? The Transferee Girls or The Bad Royalty Gang?" The MC asked.
Kanya kanya naman silang hiyaw,
"The hot, handsome Bad Royalty Gang!"
"Ang BRG!"
"NO! The Transferees!"
"GO girls! Go transferee!"
"Heto na girls," I said.
"Our 1st battle for today is.. Singing, category of.. English." The MC Announced.
"So, let's welcome our 1st contestants. From the Girls! Kielyn and Cassandra!" The MC said.
THIRD PERSON'S POV
Pagkasabi ng MC, Lumabas na sina Cass at Kie. Tahimik ang lahat na mga estudyante na nakatingin sakanila.
Iisa lang ang iniisip ng lahat, 'Ang ganda naman nila.'
Nagsimula na ang tugtog kaya nag umpisa na silang kumanta.

Cass-Loving can hurt, loving can hurt sometimes
But it's the only thing that I know
When it gets hard, you know it can get hard sometimes
It is the only thing that makes us feel alive
Kie-We keep this love in a photograph
We made these memories for ourselves
Where our eyes are never closing
Hearts are never broken
And time's forever frozen still
Marami ang nabigla, kahit na ang mga boys dahil sa magandang tinig ni Kielyn. Pumikit pa ito upang maitago ang kaba.
Both-So you can keep me
Inside the pocket of your ripped jeans
Holding me closer 'til our eyes meet
You won't ever be alone, wait for me to come home
Cass-Loving can heal, loving can mend your soul
And it's the only thing that I know, know
I swear it will get easier,
Kie-Remember that with every piece of you
Hm, and it's the only thing we take with us when we die
Cass-Hm, we keep this love in this photograph
We made these memories for ourselves
Where our eyes are never closing
Hearts were never broken
And time's forever frozen still
Both-So you can keep me
Inside the pocket of your ripped jeans
Holding me closer 'til our eyes meet
You won't ever be alone
And if you hurt me
That's okay baby, only words bleed
Inside these pages you just hold me
And I won't ever let you go
Wait for me to come home
Wait for me to come home
Wait for me to come home
Wait for me to come home
Kie-You can fit me
Inside the necklace you got when you were sixteen
Cass-Next to your heartbeat where I should be
Keep it deep within your soul
Both-And if you hurt me
Well, that's okay baby, only words bleed
Inside these pages you just hold me
And I won't ever let you go
When I'm away, I will remember how you kissed me
Under the lamppost back on Sixth street
Hearing you whisper through the phone,
Kie-"Wait for me to come home."
Umalingawngaw ang palakpakan ng mga estudyante sa buong gym. Nakisama narin sina Jessica.
Ang mga BRG? ayun nganga at napatulala dahil sa boses ng dalawang babae.
"W-what a wonderful voices you two have! Thank you, ladies." Sabi ng MC ng maka bawi sa pagkatulala.
"Let's welcome, from the Bad Royalty Gang, Alexander and Ashton!" The MC announced.
Lahat na mga girls ay humiyaw.
Pumunta na sina Alexander at Ashton sa stage at nagsimula ng kumanta,

Xander-Please don't see
Just a boy caught up in dreams and fantasies
Please see me
Reaching out for someone I can't see
Ash-Take my hand, let's see where we wake up tomorrow
Best laid plans sometimes are just a one night stand
I'll be damned, Cupid's demanding back his arrow
So let's get drunk on our tears
Both-And God, tell us the reason youth is wasted on the young
It's hunting season and the lambs are on the run
Searching for meaning
But are we all lost stars trying to light up the dark?
Ash-Who are we?
Just a speck of dust within the galaxy?
Woe is me
If we're not careful turns into reality
Xander-But don't you dare let our best memories bring you sorrow
Yesterday I saw a lion kiss a deer
Turn the page, maybe we'll find a brand new ending
Where we're dancing in our tears
Ash-And God, tell us the reason youth is wasted on the young
It's hunting season and the lambs are on the run
Searching for meaning
But are we all lost stars trying to light up the dark?
Xander-And I thought I saw you out there crying
And I thought I heard you call my name
Ash-And I thought I heard you out there crying
Just the same
Xander-God, give us the reason youth is wasted on the young
It's hunting season and this lamb is on the run
Searching for meaning
But are we all lost stars trying to light ... light up the dark?
Both-And I thought I saw you out there crying
And I thought I heard you call my name
And I thought I heard you out there crying
But are we all lost stars trying to light up the dark?
Are we all lost stars trying to light up the dark?
Marami ang nagpalakpakan at humiyaw pagkatapos kumanta ng boys.
Nag flying muna si Xander tapos umalis na sila.
"What a wonderful performance, Boys! Now let's proceed to the Korean category."
