09.

It's beek a week since the incident in the plane, and ngayon I'll go sa script reading. Di ko parin nasasabi sa mga friends ko na nandito na ako, i checked on their schedules kaso may gagawin sila. My busy girls!

Kung saan makikita ko nanaman si Hee, our director! Ewan ko 'apaka malas kong tao! Imagine! I had a fight with one of the director that will handle my upcoming movie!

'Ready ka na madam? Tara na' binuhat na ni Danica ang mga gamit ko para dalhin sa sasakyan.

Whoo, im ready to die!

'Ayos ka lang ba madam? You look like you're about to faint any minute now' natatawa nyang sabi 'you think this is funny? Gosh! Im exhausted!' stress kong sabi sakanya.

'May nangyari po ba sa airport last week? Simula po kasi bumalik tayo sa pinas e nagkaganyan na kayo' napatingin din tuloy sakin si Richard! my driver.

'What?! specify it!' irita kong sabi 'nagkaganyan po madam parang balisa tas di mapakali...' natatakot nyang sabi

'WHAT?! IS IT THIS OBVIOUS?!'

I look myself at the mirror only to see my dark circles! I look so.. stress..

'Kalma madam, di naman kayo kakainin ng mga tao don!' She tired to cheer me up pero that didn't help, at all!

After a couple of hours we have arrived at our destination CNC corp. Pagdating namin sa entrance, e puno na nang mga photographers and interviewers waiting for me.

I hate being the center, i hate being focused with the spotlight.

Inalalayan ako ni Danica bumaba and i felt all the flashes of the cameras it's irritating in the eyes to be honest, but what can i do? I'm an artist.

'Omyghad she's beautiful!'

'Torie i love you!'

'Ms.Torie how was paris?'

'You look stunning Ms. Torie!'

Those were the comments and compliments I always hear. It's nice to be complimented but I don't think some of it were true ofcourse I'm an artist, alangan naman sabihin nila 'torie ampanget mo' 'Torie please die' diba?

The guards escorted me to the room, wala pa namang mga tao don but damn someone caught my attention, and it was Heeseung.

Wearing a brown over size cardigan slightly opened, with a white shirt inside, and light brown sweat pants, and a specs! Holding his Starbucks coffee.

How can he look so hot? And handsome at the same time? And the fact that his clothes were just simple! Unbelievable.

'Are you done scanning my body miss?' Dahil sa pagkabusy kong suriin ang suot nya ni hindi ko manlang napansin na nasa harapan ko na pala sya!

'E-excuse me?! Im not scanning you no! My mind went blank kaya napatulala ako kanina' i defended myself kahit na halatang nagsisinungaling ako. Shit. I'm a bad liar!

'Okay if that's what you say so, anyway you can take your sit there. It has your name tho' tinignan ko yung table na pa-oblong sa likod nya 'ah, right! Thank you!' I quickly exited and find my seat.

Nagulat ako ng umupo sya sa harapan ko! Holding a paper 'what?' He innocently ask 'n-nothing!' Fuck myself! Why do i always stutter?

Kaunting minuto pa ay dumating na ang iba pang cast, and i saw Chloe went in too! Why is she here?!

'Chloe!' I called.

Halatang nagulat pa sya 'Hoy! nandito ka na pala?!' she rushed beside me 'Yep! So anong ginagawa mo dito?' I curiously ask

'kami yung inassign for photography purposes! never thought i would see you here!' Masaya nyang sabi 'i was shock to see you too!' I hugged her, how i miss this girl!

pumunta na sya sa pwesto nya, ready to take a shot. Nang magsimula ang commotion nagsimula na rin ang pag-flash ng mga camera.

We started reading our lines pouring our emotions and getting into character.

Torie : why did you say you love me, when you don't? Pampalipas oras mo lang ba talaga ako? did you never really have any feelings for me? Kahit kaunti? Kahit mistake? wala ba talaga?'

Gosh, can't relate! I never had a boyfriend before! So i don't know how to apply it to myself! Funny! Because they said I did good, did I?

'Huy bhe ayos ka lang?' tumabi sakin si Chloe fixing her camera 'huh? Yes Ofcourse why?' I tried to sound cheering 'tanga wag ako kabisado na kita, anong problema?' She put her camera inside her case tas tumingin sakin.

Is it really obvious? na I have something bothering in my mind? Is it really showing? How?

'hala wala nga!' I raised my arms ready to surrender, gigisahin nanaman ako ng tanong netong babaeng 'to, e!

'Sus! Sige, if ayaw mo magkwento ayos lang. Pero if ever ready ka ng mag-open up.. nandito ako ha? Nandito kami.' she patted my shoulder and stood up.

'Ah, Annyeong!' She bowed to Hee nung nakita nya ito, Heeseung brightly smiled at her! Ba't pag sakin para syang kumakausap sa patay? Tas kay Chloe ang ganda ng ngiti nya?! Is it because she's pretty? I'm pretty too!

Bakit ako nagkakaganto? At bakit pinagseselosan ko ang kaibigan ko? I shouldn't be.. right? AAAAA

'Ms. Torie?'

'AY KABAYO! omyghad Danica!'

'Sorry po Madam! tara na po, wala ng tao dito oh' I looked around, wala na nga! Ilang minuto akong na-mental block? 'Ah, yeah right!' I hurriedly went out.

Seeing Hee and Chloe talking, why are they talking ba? Flirting infront of me? How dare them! Chloe, that traitor!

They talk about 5 minutes bago tuluyang umalis si Chloe, aawayin ko yon! Kidding! I don't fight my friends! I flinched when I had a sudden eye contact with Hee, he walk towards me! Hinga, Hinga! Torie breathe!

'Oh, you're still here?' he asked, why am i feeling so sweaty! 'You can see me pa diba? Edi nandito pa ako.' I crossed my arms

'Do you have your red tide today?' He slightly chuckle, pogi! 'Wala! Why would you care ba?!'  I rolled my eyes on him 'you know what? You're so sungit!' Did he just mocked how I speak?! the disrespect!

'Ha-ha, you're funny.' I rolled my eyes on him again 'isa pang irap mo lalabas na yang eyeballs mo' he was laughing, bakit ba ang pogi nya hah?!

'You're so annoying! Umalis ka na nga!' I pushed him away 'nagseselos ka ba?' WHAT?!

'W-What?!' My eyes grew bigger 'Nagseselos ka ba?' At inulit pa nga nya! 'N-no!' umiwas ako ng tingin, im not! I am.. argh!

'Wag kang magselos kay Chloe she's just a friend.' A friend ha! You we're obviously flirting with her! Infront of me, the audacity.

'She's engaged with my friend, kaya I ask how's going on between them.' RIGHT! fuck! Nakita ko nga pala sa story nya na she's with a boy!

'I'm not asking.' I tried to sound not interested, although I am, hehe..

'Wag kang mag-alala, I have my eyes all over you.' He smiled before walking away... He has his what?
