- 4 - WHO'S THAT GIRL?

Bumibili si Rachelle ng lunch noong may biglang lamapit na babae sakania.

Babae: "Hi, Are you filipino?" (With accent)

Rachelle: "No, I'm a filipina. By the way, how'd you know?"

Babae: "Because you spoke tagalog earlier. Remember, when you were introducing yourself

infront of the class?"

Rachelle: "Ay! Oo nga pala! Are you a filipina?"

Babae: "Yes, I am half filipina and half Australian... I am Chloe Eichenberg, and you are?"

Rachelle: "I am Rachelle Mae Camarena."

Chloe: "Alam ko."

Rachelle: "Ay! Alam mo mag tagalog?"

Chloe: "Oo naman, sa Australia ako pinanganak, back and forth lang from Philippines to Australia,

but I'm mostly here in the Philippines kaya I can speak tagalog properly." (With Australian Accent)

Rachelle: "Ah okay, lets go seat?"

Chloe: " Okay. Uy! Do you know Loise?"

Rachelle: "Sinong Loise?"

Chloe: "Si Loise nga!"

Rachelle: "Madaming may pangalan na Loise sa buong mundo."

Chloe: "Gosh girl! You're missing out! Di mo kilala si Loise?"

Rachelle: "Sino nga yun?"

Chloe: "Si Jean Loise Malchowhitchz, he is a Singer in Australia! He's very popular and gwapo!"

Rachelle: "Patingin nga! May picture ka?"

Chloe: "Wait... (Browses through her phone.) Ito sia! Gwapo diba?"

(Natulala si Rachelle dahil sa kaniang nakita...)

Chloe: "Hoy! Hoy!"

Rachelle: "Siya ung lalaking nakabangga ko kanina."

Chloe: "What?!"

IMAGINATION NI RACHELLE: Late na sa unang araw ng klase si Rachelle

kaya sia ay nagmamadali. Dahil sa kaniang pagmamadali,

nabangga nia si Loise, nahulog ang mga libro ni Rachelle

at tinulungan ito ni Loise... Speechless si Rachelle

kasi nagwapuhan sia kay Loise.

Rachelle: "Artista pala siya!"

Chloe: "Yes! He is a singer!"

(Nakatulala parin si Rachelle kay Chloe...)

***bell rings***

Chloe: "Bye! See you later!"
