Who do you Love (A Rastro fanfic)

On the Edge of Paradise

While searching for my library ID, I accidentally bumped to someone at nalaglag ang clipboard ko

"Oh! Sorry, I didn't mean to..."

si Kathleen, our eyes meet at nalovestruck na naman ako. I felt I heard a finger snapped nung pinupulot na nya ang sketches at clipboard ko.

"Sorry naku, it's fine, it's fine"

dinampot ko ang mga sketches ko sa sobrang hiya sa kanya.

"Did you made these? It's good"

habang iniiscan nya ang sketches ko.

"Draft palang yan"

nahihiya kong sagot at sumunod ako sa kanya sa isang vacant table at isa isa nyang tinignan ang sketches ko.

"Althea Guevarra right? I'm Kathleen Higgins. Maybe you'll be interested na maging sketch artist ng club namin"

What?! Did just Kathleen, my all time super girl crush just invited me? Parang nasa ulap na naman ako.

"Hey Althea, are you okay?"

"Ha? Ah eh, di naman ako ganun kagaling. This is just my hobby"

"Ano kaba, those are great! All I wanna know if you're interested"

Interested sayo? Oo naman! I composed myself dahil alam kong tumutulo ang laway ko sa pagka lovestruck ko sa kanya.

"Yes, definitely! Wow!"

"Well then, see you after school"

sabay abot ng kamay nya sa akin.

"What was that?! Althea, you're getting the Batchi moves na ha, ayos yan"

pabulong na kantyaw sakin ni Batchi.
Matagal na pala sila ni Jade na nakatayo from a distance at pinapanood kami ni Kathleen.

"So kayo na? Kelan ang first date?"

bungisngis ni Batchi.

"Ano kaba, ang maniac ng dating mo. Nakita lang nya yung rough sketches ko and she's interested to make me their club's artist. I'll just meet her mamayang uwian"

"So hindi ka pupunta sa bahay? Akala ko kokopya kapa ng notes"
tanong ni Jade. Oo nga pala, may usapan kami ni Jade after school.

"Sorry bespren, alam mo naman, super happy lang ako ngayon. Susunod nalang ako sa inyo mamaya after ng meeting namin"

Jade just exhibit a forced smile.
