"Donny?" I heard someone knocking on my door. I'm still tired from what happened earlier but I need to get up and be ready for another event.

I saw my mom entered my room. "Donny? Are you awake na?" I pulled my covet off my face and looked at her with one eye open and smiled. "Yeah yeah I'm already up."

"Your suit is all ready and Timo is waiting for you downstairs."

"Tell him to go up here." Mom exited the room and I made my way to the bathroom and took a shower.

"You guys are close?" Timo, sitting on my bed, holding Kisses' invitation. I shrugged. "We just met once palang, bro. Once."

"Who gave you this?" He asked.

"Star Magic eh." Timo nodded and quietly exploring the invitation card.

"17th dance? Donny? Really?" I stopped moving. "17th? I'm part of her 18 roses?" He gave me the invitation card and I saw my name.

I browse through the names of all the guys on her 18 roses. "Most of them are celebrities...where are her friends?" I saw Jairus' name on it. I never knew they were talking?

"Showbiz." Timo laughed.

I laughed while shaking my head. "Let's go?" I said, he stood up and made our way downstairs and we said our goodbyes to my family.

"Donny! One shot please!" Someone from media called me. I was about to go to our seats but they stopped me for a photo.

"Uh yeah sure." I looked at the camera, without smiling. "Please pwesto ka dito sa stairs." This guy, holding a camera told me and I immediately do what he told me to do so.

I looked at the camera, gave them a smile.

"Thank you, Donnie?" I nodded. We shook hands, "Nice meeting you, Donnie."

"You too."

Timo and I immediately made our way to our sits. "Donny Pangilinan?" Someone called me from the back, I look around and saw a woman aged around 30?

I stood up and came closer her. "Yes po?"

"You'll be Kisses' escort for her grand entrance. Let's go?" She made her way upstairs and left me hanging.

"Donny?" I came back from my senses and saw the woman halfway from the stairs. I rushed upstairs and I saw many people assisting the debutant.

To: Timo

From: Timo

To: Timo

From: Timo

I shook my head and locked my phone. "Donny Pangilinan? That's you, right? Tara, retouch." This guy who I think is one of the make up artist assisted me.

"Grabe naman kasi 'tong debut na 'to. Kung sino nalang maakay nila." He whispered.

"Pasenya ka na ha." He said while doing some retouch. I looked at the mirror. Saw my dead ass tired eyes. I should be with my bed this time but I'm stuck here.

"Okay okay, start na!" I turned attention to the woman who called me earlier who I think is the organizer?

"Donny Donny Donny oh there you go! Nakapagretouch na ba ang batang ito, Frenny?"

"Oo, teh. Light lang ayoko magmukhang foundation day mukha ni baby boy." They both laughed.

"Donny, you will be Kisses' escort for the grand entrance. Ihahatid mo siya hanggang-teka you understand Filipino language, right?" I nodded and gave her a small smile.

"Eh yun, hahatid mo siya sa upuan niya, okay?" I nodded, well again.
