Two Worlds Collide (Editing)

Chapter 4 - Boy profiling

"You accepted instantly?! Without even reading it?! Seriously?!" Yan ang bungad ni Taylor sa kanya matapos siyang magkwento sa nangyari nung isang araw. Hindi pa niya nakakausap si Selena pero alam niyang excited na din itong makatrabaho siya. Pero mukhang si Nick naman ang hindi excited. Obviously, alam niyang may epekto pa rin kay Nick ang bestfriend niya.

"I just told you, didn't I?" She replied in a bored tone habang nilalantakan ang cheesecake na ginawa nito para sa kanya.

"But you still should've read it." Pagrereklamo naman ni Taylor sa kanya.

"I just did. See?" Pinakita niya ang documents na pinabasa sa kanya ni Nick simula pa noong isang araw. Napirmahan niya na rin ang kontrata. Tiningnan ito ni Taylor at napabuntong-hininga na lamang.

"Seriously, I can't argue with you. So what's the film all about?" Kung makikipagreason out man si Taylor kay Hautea siguradong matatalo na rin lang naman siya kaya mas minabuti niya ng idivert ang topic nila. Wala na rin naman siyang magagawa dahil napirmahan na nito ang kontrata.

"About a girl named Marieta. That's me. It's about fulfilling your dreams and at the same time finding true love." Yun ang summarization niya sa gagawin niyang film. It's all about Marieta Sanchez, a dreamer and an achiever who want to be known by the world but instead she found love in a very place she found her parents dead. To cut the story short, mas naging romance and thriller ang movie kaysa sa drama.

"Omg! You mean, romance? Aww. Who's the lucky jerk?" Pagtutukso ni Taylor sa kanya. Mahilig ito sa mala-fairytale na romance at halos yata kahit anong may genre na romance ay papanuorin at babasahin nito.  And now, mukhang sa love story pa yata niya ito naging interesado.

"I don't know. Never even heard of his name before." Napaikot na lang siya ng mata. She knows what Taylor's thinking but it's not gonna happen. Pure work lang ang gagawin niya.

"What's his name?" Pang-iintriga nito. Tinuro niya naman ang list ng names ng magiging cast sa movie. "Daniel? Daniel Padilla? I think I heard his name before from that Asian kid across the block. Want to search? Let's do some boy profiling."

"More like boy stalking." She murmur pero mukhang narinig pa rin siya nito.

"Oh cmon. It's not that bad. Besides, it'll benefit you." Binuksan nito ang laptop niya at nagsimula ng magsearch tungkol sa magiging ka pair up niya. Matagal-tagal din silang nagsearch at nagbasa ng mga article na may kinalaman kay Daniel Padilla. Gwapo naman ito at mukhang close na close sa ka pair up niyang babae, what was her name again? Kar? Kate? Something with a K.

"O--kay. This guy's good. He seems talented plus he's a charmer. Says here, girls go gaga over him." Impress na impress na pagkasabi ni Taylor na nagpakunot naman sa noo ni Hautea.

"Gaga? Like Lady gaga?" Tanong na nito ng hindi masyadong naintindihan ang sinasabi ni Taylor.

"It means crazy hun. Girls go crazy just a mere mention of his name." Pag-eexplain nito sa kanya in a bored tone. Obviously, hindi ganun ka impress si Taylor sa crazy part. Isa lang naman ang nasa utak nila and that they both think the guy is a playboy. Based on his looks, maaari ngang playboy nga ito. But who are they to judge?

"Oh really? Wow. And how many girls have he fooled already?" Sarcastic na tanong niya habang patuloy lang ang pagkain ng cheesecake. Ngiting-ngiti naman siyang tiningnan ni Taylor.

"You're already thinking he's player. Get to know the guy first." Pagpapaalala pa nito. It's like she's telling her not to jidge without knowing the person which is dapat lang naman.

"Based on what we read and his face, it says it all. Boys like that will never be a good friend of mine." She honestly said. After everything that happened to her in the past, wala na yata siyang tiwala sa mga lalaki. Except for Nick. He's her manager and a friend. Si Nick lang ang lalaking may exemption sa pagiging man hater niya.
