Chapter Two

* * * *

"Cassssaaaaaaandraaaaaaa! Wake up!"

Cassy shot her eyes open after she heard her friend, Isabel Elaina, screaming near her ear. Out of too shock, she got up and moved her hand on her chest in a quick motion. Her heart was beating fast because of too much shock and also because of her sudden visit.

She was having a nice sleep but someone abruptly shouting her name just to wake her up. She quickly diverted her head and glared at Isabel. But her friend stuck her tongue out as a response.

Cassy looked at her wall clock.
7:48, it shows.

She groaned and slumpled her body back to her bed.

"Cassy, you need to get up now! Tanghali na oh, tulog ka pa. Baka labasan ka ng mantika diyan." Isabel joked and tried to get her up.

"Ugh... stop it, Isabel. What's with the sudden early morning visit anyway?" She grumpily said and closed her eyes, totally ignoring her and all she wanted is to get herself back to sleep.

"And what's with the grumpy rise, Cassy?" Ngumuso ito sa kanya saka pinamewangan, "At anong early morning visit ang pinagsasabi mo diyan? Tanghali na kaya! Kaya bangon na sabiiii."

"At kelan pa naging tanghali ang alas syete?"

Cassy lifted her free hand and waved it inward and backward like telling Isabel to leave and let her have a date again with her bed. But to Isabel, she won't let her sleep again so she took hold of Cassy's blanket and forcely pulled it making her almost fell from her bed. Cassy left with no choice. Masyadong makulit si Isabel kaya wala na siyang nagawa kundi ang bumangon.

"Fine. Babangon na! Ugh..." she huffed and got up from her bed. Todo naman ang pag-irap niya sa kaibigan niya.

"Woah woah, huwag ako, Cass, initusan lang ako ni Tito Zoren na gisingin ka atsaka paalala lang, may rehearsal pa kayo ngayon ni Mavy," natatawang sabi nito sa kanya.

Dumiretso na siya sa banyo at naligo. After niyang mag-ayos ay nabungaran niyang gamit-gamit na nito ang laptop niya.

"Let me borrow this for a while, Cass." Saad nito nang mapansing nakalabas na pala siya. She nodded, sanay naman siya. She then got her comb on her bedside table and started to smooth it on her wet hair.

She studied her friend scrolling down on her laptop and tried to hide her laughter when she caught her smiling from ear to ear.

Kinikilig? At kanino naman ito kinikilig?

"Woah!" Isabel snapped. Cassy quickly averted her attention to her. Pabigla-bigla ba naman kasi.
"Woah woah! Hindi ko alam na may kagwapong admirer ka na, Cass!" She exclaimed which lead her to confusion.

Cassy stopped from combing her hair and furrowed her brows, "Huh?"

Isabel lifted her head to her and her smile was getting wider, "Hmm. Darren Espanto," she whispered and paused, "Do you know a guy named Darren Espanto?"

"Darren Espanto...?" Napaisip siya saglit and lightly tapping her chin, "I don't quite recall... why?"

Isabel made a face and said, "What? Ang galing kaya nu'n kumanta. Iyong sa The Voice Kids."

Darren Espanto? Magaling kumanta? From The Voice Kids? Hmmm...

"Ah!" She lightly tapped her fist on her palm as if she just recognized something, "Yeah! I think I know him! And I think I saw one of his performances. " She said while snapping her fingers at her.
