The Hidden Rising Star 1

Cassandra's POV

I was swirling my straw on my drink while waiting for their response as I finished my story.

They were speechless.

Catherine was doing the same thing while Zayn was thinking or maybe– constructing his words?

I sighed while still swirling and looking at my drink.

"Ganito lang kasi 'yan, Cassandra." See, I knew it. Zayn started and cleared his throat.

"Options, Options. It's either you will trap yourself in bitterness and hatred where you will be in much pain or face your Mom, listen to her side and forgive her for that pain you feel, be eased."

Seriousness wrapped our seats.

He just prove it himself. That's our vice president after all.

I might be lying if I told you guys that his statement didn't struck me so hard.

I slowly laughed. "Easy there, Mr. Trilles." I just said while that advice of him stayed in my mind.

"Just helping out a friend. So choose, Cassandra." He crossed his arms and lean back at his seat.

My forehead creased as I deeply think of it.

Cathy coughed. "Friend ba talaga?" She whispered and Zayn glared at her.

"Why? Are you mad at me that's why you're not considering me as your friend anymore?" I asked zayn with my paawa voice.

"Hindi ah! Don't mind Catherine." Zayn told me and I sighed.

"I don't know what to do anymore." I groaned and take a sip.

"If I were you. I'll choose the last one. Kasi sa totoo lang? Hindi namin gustong nahihirapan ka." Catherine told me.

"I'm so lucky to have the two of you as my bestfriends." I smiled so sweetly.

"Aray." Zayn uttered softly.

"Oh, bakit? May masakit ba?" I asked him.

"Sumasakit na kasi yung tiyan niya kanina pa. Tara, umuwi na tayo." Catherine uttered and the three of us agreed.

"Anak? Kain tayo sa labas. Magpalit ka na." Tita Anna uttered while I just looked at her and looked again at my books on the table.

"Mommy, I have two long quizzes for tomorrow." I excused and tried to focus on my book again.

I heard that she deeply sighed.

"You can continue it later. Let's go na. I'm hungry." She told me and I glanced her form head to toe.

"Later? A-Are you my real Tita?" I asked while she laughed forcefully.

I was still not convinced but she was waiting me to move.

I went to the bathroom to change my clothes while Tita waited for me in my room.
