INTO YOU (CassRen)

Chapter Three

"OUTSIDE." Sabi niya at iniwan si Mavy sa kwartong iyon. Break pa naman nila kaya pwede p siyang maglakad sa studio, babalik lang siya after ilang minutes para ayusan na sila.

Pumasok siya sa studio wherein the rehearsals of some artists are going. She studied the place, roaming her eyes around the studio--

"Let's start now, okay? Ready?"

--not until she heard the music had turned on. She diverted her look to see who will rehearse next and shocked when she found out that it was--

Darren Espanto.

The lad started to sing and it was her first time to hear his voice in person. His voice was soothing yet very powerful. She even closed her eyes to feel the music-- feeling his voice. Darren's voice seems to be a lullaby to her. Nakakahumaling.

You shout it out,
But I can't hear a word you say
I'm talking loud not saying much...

Upon hearing him singing, she remembered that this cute chinito boy had a crush on her and well, it's nice to know that he likes her.

I'm criticized but all your bullets ricochet
You shoot me down, but I get up...

Like lang naman eh. Sabi pa niya sa sarili pero may something sa kanya na gistong umayaw sa iniisip niya.

"Cassandra?" She quickly opened her eyes and almost jumped on her feet when his twin brother randomly popped behind her.

"M-Mavy! Geez, pabigla-bigla ka naman!" She uttered, surprised by his sudden presence. Akala niya ba iniwan niya ito sa dressing room?

Pero mas lalong siyang nagulat at biglang kinabahan nang unti-unting tumingin si Mavy sa stage kung saan nandoon si Darren  na patuloy pa din sa pagpapractice at base din sa pagtayo ni Cassy ay nakaharap ito sa stage. After looking at who she was looking before he interrupted her state of trance, Mavy slowly averted his gaze to her and a smirk was plastered on his face, obviously teasing her. Again. Like the usual.

"Wait... Did you just stalked him?" His grin was geting wider.

She was right, he is teasing her again which made her cheeks flushed red and she got a little fidgety.

"W-What? Stalk agad? I was just…" Cassy paused, naghahanap ng palusot na pwedeng mailusot, "I was just watching him!" She retorted but her twin's look was still teasing her, "Stop it, Mavy."

Mavy chuckled, "Fine. Let's go back now. Aayusan pa tayo." Naglakad na ito papalabas ng studio.

Cassy nodded and followed her twin. Nauna ng konti si Mavy kaya naisipan niyang sulyapan ang lalake sa stage, maybe Mavy won't notice this, saglit lang naman ito.

But the moment she turned around to take a look of him, she did not expect when their eyes met. She was shocked and at the same time feeling a bit embarrassed and nervous. And by the looks of him, he, too, was stunned that made him stopped on what he was doing. Narinig pa niyang nagtanong ang kasama niya if something was wrong dahil sa biglaang paghinto niya.
