First Love Never Dies {Love Series #1}

Chapter 42

"I'm so excited! Matagal tagal na rin simula nung huling sali natin sa ganito."

Sabi ni Jaycee habang nakislap ang mga mata. I smiled and agreed. He's right. It's been almost 3 years. Maaga kaming nagising ni James at Jaycee. Hinayaan namin ang iba na natutulog dahil pagod pa sila. 10 A.M pa lang ng umaga nasa company na kami ng tita ni Jaycee.

"Welcome back you three. I missed you all!" Bati ni Tita May at isa-isa kaming niyakap.

Pinagtitinginan kami ng ibang mga modelo, karamihan ay mga bago. Ang mga modelo naman na matagal na ay binabati kami dahil nakakausap ko sila noon. Even Jake is here! Classmate namin noong high school. Nakakapartner ko rin siya sa photoshoots noon, madalas lang kasi talaga si James since mas may chemistry raw kami.

The other models are already rehearsing for a week. Since some of them are still newbies. It was a busy day, madami kasing modelo na sinukatan. Bukas naman ay simula na ng photoshoots. Nag-rehearse muna kami pagkatapos sukatan. I wore my high heels backstage while looking around. Nakikita kong may ibang napapatingin na babae sa akin at magbubulungan. Ngumuso ako. Bakit kaya?

Tatlong beses akong lalabas ng stage para rumampa. Hindi naman ako kinakabahan dahil sanay naman ako. I'm comfortable walking on the runway, with a large crowd. Thanks to Jaycee who taught me to be confident. Nasasabik din ako dahil manonood ang mga kaibigan ko. Nanonood din naman sila noon ngunit sa live video lang 'yon.

We started rehearsing our walk on the stage. The director was watching so I got nervous a bit. I haven't practice my walk for years! I'm nervous, I might tripped.

Luckily, nagawa ko naman ng maayos ang pagrampa ko. Iyon lang ginawa namin hanggang matapos ang rehearsals. Wala sila Margaux pag-uwi namin. I told them to keep strolling while we're busy.

Maaga ulit kaming umalis kinabukasan para mag-gym.

"Is there even any progress with you two?" Jaycee asked James.

Umiling lang si James. I glared at him. "Don't you dare hurt my friend again, James. I'm already telling you, ako ang makakalaban mo." Seryoso kong sabi.

James blankly looked at me. Mirroring my expression. "Siya ang may ayaw, Sunny."

Tinaasan ko siya ng kilay. "I don't think so. Umayos ka. I won't think twice to punch you straight in the face if you keep acting like that." I smirked.

Tahimik lang si Jaycee at nagbabalik balik ang tingin sa amin. I know. Hindi siya sanay na ganito kami mag-usap ni James. Sobrang seryoso. Kahit na kaibigan ko siya, I won't tolerate what he's doing.

Pagkatapos ng usapan namin ni James ay si Jaycee naman nagsalita.

"I heard Tita offered you a contract. Anong desisyon mo?" Aniya.

Tita May offered me to be her runway model. For 2 years lang naman. I'm still thinking what to do. Should I...

"I might sign it." Ngiti ko.

After an hour of workout, umuwi kami para maligo at magbihis. I'm just thinking about random things habang inaayusan ako para sa photoshoot. I'm looking at my reflection in the mirror while the make-up artist is busy putting some highlight on my nose. May nakita na naman akong mga babaeng modelong natingin sa akin habang nabubulungan. Bumuntong hininga ako. It bothers me, are they talking about me? Is it good or bad? Nagkibit na lang ako at hindi na muna 'yon inisip. I don't want to mess up the shoot.
