The Hidden Rising Star 1

IX

I grabbed my phone out of my pocket and sat at my bed.

"Hi, Selene." Someone greeted me and my forehead creased.

I hate being called Selene and there's only one person who can call me that and that's not this person.

"Okay, first of all—" I didn't finished my sentence when I saw a familiar face.

"You're Stacy right? From the theatre club?" I asked her.

"Oh good, You remembered me!"

"What a suprise that you're here! Finally, I have someone whom I know."

"You still haven't changed don't you? Hindi ka pa rin nanonood ng TV kase you're always on your phone." She joked causing me to laughed.

"I can't argue 'cause it's true." I added as I continued to laugh.

"Why did you audition?" She asked me.

"I just want to make my name to this industry. How about you? Oh wait- Let me guess. Miss Sarah G?"

I remembered about the leadership camp. All of the clubs head at the school attended it.

Stacy and I became close but we didn't really meet after that.

This is due to the pressure of being a club head and making sure that things are always organize.

"Uhuh." Stacy nod. "Let me guess? Confused why I'm here?" She asked me.

"Yeah."

"Miss Sarah didn't turned for me but I got a chance to hug her and take a picture with her. Coach Lea turned and Coach Bamboo. I picked Miss Lea because she reminded me of your audition. Para na rin I have someone whom I know here."

Stacy explained and I just nod.

"Do you want to walk around—"

"To be honest, I would rather stay here." I immediately refused.

"Oh come on. We will have a busy day tomorrow. Maybe we wouldn't have a chance to look what Miss Lea Salonga's beach house looks like."

"Well if we put it like that, I'm in!" I felt excited and stood up. I turned on my phone and she reminded me.

"Oh by the way, cellphones are not allowed."

"Where's your phone?"

"It got confiscated by a staff."

"Miss Lea caught me using it earlier but she didn't told me anything about phones." We both raised our shoulders and make a face and chuckled.

"Anyways, thank you for informing me. I'll just put it right here."

I put my cellphone in my duffle bag.

"Let's go?" I nod and we went outside.

It's still windy and the atmosphere was playful.
