The Real Score by Kesh Tanglao
Caitlin's friendship with Marcus, the de facto frontman of the world's biggest boy band Gezellig, has long been an object of scrutiny by almost everyone--their friends and families, the media, and his fans--ever since they "went public" a couple of years back. Who wouldn't be interested? She was a nobody, catapulted into the limelight of his fame when he struck an unusual friendship with her.
To both Caitlin and Marcus, what they have is a "perfect little thing." But then something comes along and threatens it.
In a no-holds-barred interview, will they finally be forced to settle the score?

I felt
Lorin grip my arm tightly, and when I turned to her, she was utterly
mesmerized, her eyes wide. “Oh Lord. Did I die and go to heaven?” she said, and
I pinched her hand on my arm, making her yelp just as the band passed us.
“You’re
definitely awake,” I said as she slapped my hand away. I laughed as Gezellig
made their way into the ballroom. Waiting commenced again, and I was thankful
that we fell in line early. The twenty people ahead of us meant Lorin can have
her pictures taken with the band in under an hour, give or take.
Time
dwindled fast, and one by one, I saw fans leaving the ballroom with glee
written all over their faces, their fangirl dreams satisfied, the stories of
their meet and greet on their lips. Before I knew it, a big, burly guy who
could pass off as a bouncer in a club was nodding, signaling we can enter the
ballroom.
Lorin
gripped my hand as we entered together.
“HELLO!”
I stumbled
at the bright and loud greeting. In my surprise, I released Lorin’s hand, stepped
back, my legs in a tangle, crashing into a person behind me—
Strong arms
wrapped around me, stopping me from falling to the ground. I closed my eyes,
grabbing whatever I could: a shoulder, an arm, a shirt. My heart raced, panic
seeping into my blood.
I took
three deep breaths, which were apparently the last ones I was going to take as
of that moment. I felt I was being turned around, and when I finally opened my
eyes, the face of the guy who stopped my fall was just inches away from mine.
So close that our noses were touching.
My eyes
connected with his bright emerald green orbs. I scanned his face, a playful
smile on his lips.
“Klutz,” he
exhaled, and that woke me up from my reverie.
