To Chase A Star (Star Series #2) ✔

STAR🌟37

Dinner

I was nervous and I still don't know what to say to them. I've never met any of them since then, basically I don't know their characteristics so how could I cope? I've seen them from afar but it remained that way after years. Sa mga party ko lang sila nakikita. I don't personally know them.

Should I be myself or should I be the prim and proper type of girl in front of them?

Pero ayaw kong makipagplastikan! Ayaw ko rin namang pumalpak ang araw na ito. I am panicking.

"Don't be nervous! There's nothing to be nervous about, really."

He was calming me since earlier. We ate snacks a while ago in one famous restaurant and 'til there I couldn't stop myself from thinking ridiculous things.

Naisipan ko pa nga silang ipinta pero ang weird naman kung gagawin ko 'yon para magpasikat. My goodness!

"I don't know them! It's normal to act this way!"

"Talaga?" he chuckled and gave me one teasing stare. Hindi rin nagtagal dahil binalik niya na sa daan ang titig. Smile on his lips never left him. He was excited while I feel ill.

"Sa susunod ikaw naman ang pagtatawanan ko sa oras na maging kabado ka rin!"

"I am not laughing because you're nervous!" he said.

Sinong maniniwala sa tumatawang nagsasalita?

"You are!"

"I am not. I am just laughing because you're cute, Babe." he gave me an assuring smile.

"Talaga?" sarkasmo ko at itinuon na lang ang tingin sa bintana.

Medyo malayo ang mansyon nila sa eskwelahan namin. Naalala ko ang una at huling punta ko roon. Noong nag rereview kami para sa quiz bee. Matagal na 'yon kaya naman kuryoso ako kung ano ang mga nagbago sa kanilang mansyon.

Kuryoso nga ba talaga ako o naghahanap lang ako ng pagbabalingan ng atensyon?

Because seriously, I am so nervous!

On our way I read messages through my phone. May nakita akong mensahe kay Mommy.

Fr: Mommy

I heard you went to your school and you're with Casper?

Hula ko, pinahawak na naman ni Daddy ang cellphone niya kay Mom at nakita ang mga mensahe galing sa mga taong nasa school kanina. Siguro ay admins o staffs.

Grabe!

To: Mommy

Yes, Mom. Bakit po?

Hindi muna ako nagbukas ng ibang mensahe at naghintay sa reply ni Mommy.

Tumunog iyon at napansin ko ang pagsulyap ni Casper sa akin. Hindi ko sinuklian 'yon.

Fr: Mommy

Wala naman. I just asked since the last time you told me you two have misunderstanding, right?

How could I explain this tomorrow? Paano naman kasi ay palagi silang wala ni Dad sa bahay kaya hindi ko rin masabi. They always have their own rendezvous. Hindi kami kasali...

Sabagay hindi rin naman sila kasali sa date namin ni Casper. I chuckled at that thought.

To: Mommy

Yes, Mom. Marami kaming kasama kanina. I was with Yuna, too.  Don't worry.

Habang naghihintay ng reply ay nilingon ko si Casper. His brows were creased and he was poking his cheek with his tongue.

He looks irritated. What's wrong? Tumunog ulit ang cellphone ko kaya roon ko itinuon ang atensyon ko.
