CHEERLEADER SERIES - JULIE

Chapter V

She's been agitated for the whole day. Hindi siya mapakali sa kakaisip kung ano ang paniningil na gagawin ng mokong na 'yun. She informed her parents that she might be out late. 

It was 4:30 and her last subject ended 30 minutes ago. After that wala na siyang pasok. She never saw him that day and she has no clue kung nasaan ito. Tumiyempo naman ang pag ring ng cellphone niya. 

She hurriedly answered it.

"Hey, I'm outside. Come on. Look for the Ferrari outside."

Nagitla siya nang marinig ang sinabi nito. 

She quickly went out of the school gate and looked for the Ferrari he was talking about. And indeed, it was there. Her family is rich, hindi niya itatanggi iyon, but this man is way above the food chain. 

Napansin niya ang pagbukas ng kabilang pintuan ng sasakyan. Wala siyang nagawa kundi ang sumakay na sa sasakyang naghihintay.

As soon as she was seated, he grabbed her seatbelt and put it on for her. 

"Okay, all set now."

"Saan tayo pupunta?"

"We'll first, we'll go to the salon first. Or maybe a mall. You need to change."

"Why?"

"We'll be going on a date of course. So I want you to look your best." 

"Tayo lang naman ang madedate di ba? Bakit kailangan ko pa'ng mag-ayos?"

"A slight surprise my parents will be with us."

"Bakit?"

"Well, strict ang parents ko eh." he jokingly said. "Baka daw ano'ng gawin mo sa akin."

"Sira ka ba? Ikaw pa talaga ang may ganang magsalita ng ganyan."

Napahalakhak ito sa tinuran niya. 

"It's a family get-together actually. And I have decided that you will be my date."

"You have decided?"

"Yes. Pamabayad utang mo."

"You just can't wait can you?"

"Of course. It's going to be so much fun. I will finally get to know your name."

"Why is my name so important to you?"

"Because you amuse me. And you interest me so much. So I have to know your name."

After a good thirty minutes, they were in front of an exclusive salon. He quickly grabbed her along the entire entryway of the salon and went to the woman he knew the most. mabilis siya nitong pinaupo sa harap ng salamin.

"Well, what do we have here?"

The woman was now staring straight into her eyes through the mirror.

"Please fix her. Like a fresh look."

"I look fresh!" pag-aalburuto niya.

"I mean even better than this."

Napangiti ang babaeng kausap ng lalaki.

"Well, there's not really too much to do for you. You already look good. So just a few touches and you'll be ready."

"Stay here." Brad looked at her. "I'll be back."

"Saan ka pupunta?"

"I have to buy something."

Bago pa man siya muling makapagreklamo ay nakaalis na siya.
