Happy Nutrition Month! They challenged the whole batch to take part in a Zumba Competition. We need to create a song in line with nutrition along with dance steps to it. It started last July 8, 2015, today, we're having an intense practice and I'm actually enjoying it! Most importantly, I saw Dash danced he looked funny; I remembered he told us he used to be a theater actor. That's a piece of additional information I learned about him. He also shared about the necklace he always wears, if I remember correctly, it was a shark's teeth gifted to him by his father or who already passed. Yeah, he finally shared something about his family.
Then, another conversation suddenly popped into my head! He gave me a mini heart attack, then a crashed heart in just ten freaking minutes! We were talking about some random things while I was doing an assignment, yeah I'm great at multi-tasking. While waiting for his response, I focused on answering the activity sheets in front of me when a notification popped up on my phone. "I have a crush on you." My eyes widen and I just stopped breathing for a moment there! Naive Maia didn't know what to do! I was panicking. I could still remember what I said to myself before just to calm me down. "Calm the freak down Maia, he's probably just joking? What the hell?! Why would he even joke about this stuff!" Yeah, as you can see I'm even arguing with myself that's how panicked I was.
So, I tried to compose myself, and grab my phone to write a message but before I could even open his chat, he sent another message, it says, "I'm sorry that was my brother, he loves pulling pranks and all…" Then and there my heart sank. Disappointed and stupid for actually hoping he has a crush on me.
Ugh! I hate this memory, this happened before I even avoided him, but the memories all too fresh in my mind it sucks! I'm not even supposed to write it here because how assuming I was back there, it was embarrassing and I don't even want to remember this anymore but whatever! Deal with my stupidity!
Anyway, he told us that because he preferred acting to dancing. To be honest, he does not entirely suck, but he's not good either, but I found him really cute trying his best to catch up with the steps. Sometimes he would approach me and ask if he's doing it correctly. It flattered me he's asking me because I'm not as good as others either, but I tried my best to help him out.
While practicing, I would sometimes join him so he'll know what would be the next step. When we get things wrong, we would laugh it off and gave each other a high-five.
Every section was highly competitive, all burned up to win this competition that when you go outside the hallway, they covered every window not wanting other section to see what they're cooking. All I can say to all the sections is… Good luck! I know our section has a great chance of winning.

We won! We won at the Zumba Competition! I was right! It was a really fun experience. Even if it was a kind of nerve-wracking when we were on the stage, all eyes were on us! I know it's normal but hell it's still terrifying, but as we perform my nervousness turned to excitement; we were in sync and I can see how my classmates enjoying it too. To be fair, all the sections did an outstanding job, so kudos to them!
It was a tiring day for us, but we were thankful and happy that we won! As we head back to our room, that entire class was happily cheering, chanting loudly on our section name, and even the loud bang of drums we used as a prop in our performance resonating the hallway.
We had a class picture, as a remembrance of our victory. As I was preparing to leave, Dash approached me and gave me a soft pat on my head before saying thank you for helping him out and congratulating me as well. I just gave him a sweet smile before bidding my farewell to him. He grabbed my hand and said to wait for him because he wanted to go with me. My eyes widen, not understanding the need for it. So, I asked him about his friends, especially Kier, because I heard them talking earlier that they'll go home together. When he remembered that, he scratched his head and just simply bid me goodbye and went to Kier. I immediately got down, afraid that he'll change his mind. My heart's pounding. I don't know why I'm feeling this way, probably afraid that someone might get the wrong idea about us.
Ugh! I don't know, I'm so paranoid!

It's language month!
Yeah, our school has a lot of programs to get used to it. Every year we celebrate this differently. Sometimes we would have some boodle fights, or we would dress up in our national costumes, or participate in programs such as speech choir, cooking competition, and poster making. This year, the entire school would take part in a speech choir competition, we would perform it by the end of the month. So, we have 27 days to prepare. They also gave us the piece, then it will be up to us how would we execute it. Probably this month would be very hectic.
Every homeroom time we would recite the piece so we could memorize it. However, Dash was not taking it seriously, he kept messing around and I'm the one his bothering! One time during our language class he kept kicking my black shoes because I would sometimes remove them to massage my feet. It was embarrassing because our teacher was just beside us discussing. I pinched his arm to stop him.
Thankfully, he stopped while massaging his now sore arm. He gave me a puppy eye; I rolled my eyes at him and continued listening to our teacher. But my inner self can't help but smile at him. That brown eyes always get me. Then, while waiting for the next teacher, he kept touching my forehead just to tease me about how big it was. I teased him back and jokingly slapped his forehead, making us laughed at each other's silliness. He would also sing Aladdin's song there, "shining, shimmering, splendid…" because sometimes my forehead would get oily. Yeah, that's one of my insecurities too, so sometimes I would get pissed off at him, but then suddenly he would be nice to me.
The whole class was busy doing a bunch of stuff on there in places today, probably planning for the speech choir. I think I should try to pitch in some ideas from time to time… As I look around, my classmates were chaotic which I can't help but laugh at them. While I was busy scanning our classroom, Dash blurted something, "I had a dream about you last night." He shared with a light smile. "Really? What happened?" I asked excitedly as I faced my entire body in his direction.
"I- I can't remember." He whispered. Dash sounded disappointed. That made me chuckle. He just looked adorable, acting all shy that he can't remember. It's alright that he can't remember anything about that dream what's important to me was that I could see another side of his. His adorable side. I badly want to pinch his face, but I'm still scared. I'm always scared.
