As Isabela walked down the hallway, she noticed everyone staring at her. Their eyes followed her every step, leaving her confused.When she entered the classroom, she saw Theodore standing there with a bouquet of flowers, looking straight into her eyes.
"I know we just met, Isabela, but I can't deny what I feel for you," Theodore said, leaving Isabel surprised.She didn't know if she should believe what he said. It was the first time a guy had ever gotten close to her.
"Wait… what are you talking about?" Isabela asked, confused.
"Can you be my girlfriend?" Theodore asked her.
It seemed impossible to Isabel that a guy like Theodore would ask her to be his girlfriend so suddenly.
"If this is a prank or something, can you please just stop? It's not funny," Isabela said, and walked out of the room.
When Isabela walked out of the room, a group of guys suddenly appeared and started laughing at Theodore.
"I thought everyone was dreaming of being with you. I can't believe there's actually one girl who doesn't feel the same," Rico said, laughing.
Theodore just smiled and walked to the cafeteria with his friends.As he entered the cafeteria, his eyes immediately found Isabela. She was with Lindsay, eating calmly, unaware of him. Yet, even in her simplicity, she was the most beautiful person she met.
"Hey, I heard what happened earlier. So… you and Theodore, are you together now?" Lindsay asked curiously.
"Not a chance," Isabela said, smiling wryly. "I know they're just playing with me. Rico and his friends love pulling pranks."
"What if he really likes you?" Lindsay added.
"You know me, Lindsay," Isabela replied with a small shake of her head, "I can't trust anyone that quickly."
After class, Isabela and Lindsay decided to head to the studio, having heard that Theo would be there so they could finally meet him.Theo is a mysterious singer who never introduces himself to anyone. His music is adored by everyone, and Isabela is no exception, she loves his songs and has long dreamed of meeting her ultimate crush in person.
They arrived at the studio right on time. As Isabela walked inside, she saw a guy singing, wearing sunglasses and a cap. His face was mostly hidden, making it hard to see who he really was.She couldn't stop shouting for her idol, and neither could Lindsay. After the song ended, the guy walked over to her and handed her a bouquet of flowers.Isabela couldn't believe what was happening. She immediately hugged Theo, and as she held him, she caught a familiar scent that made her heart skip a beat.
"I'm sorry," Isabela said, coming back to her senses. She felt embarrassed by what she had done. She couldn't help it—this was the first time she had ever seen her idol.
"It's okay. You're the most beautiful girl I've seen today, and the flower is really for you," he said.
Upon hearing his voice, Isabela remembered Theodore. Their voices were really the same.Before leaving, Theo gave his number to Isabela. She was really happy that she had been noticed by her idol.
"Lindsay, am I dreaming?" Isabela asked, tapping her face.
"Omg, Isabela, you're not dreaming!" Lindsay replied as they jumped with excitement.
Later at night...
While they ate dinner, Isabela couldn't help but smile while thinking of Theo, her idol. Her dad and Sylvia were looking at her.
"Are you in love, sweetheart?" her dad asked, smiling.
"No… I'm just happy seeing my idol," Isabela said softly, blushing. "Well, I'm already full… enjoy your dinner." Then she quietly went to her bedroom.
After she changed, Isabela noticed the small piece of paper with Theo's number lying on her desk. Her heart skipped a beat. With trembling fingers, she added it to her phone book, hardly believing that her idol had given her his number. A wide, nervous smile spread across her face as she whispered to herself, "This is really happening…
She started composing a message to Theo, her heart racing with every tap of the keyboard. What should I say? she wondered. I don't want to sound too excited… but I really want him to know I liked the flowers.
Finally, she typed:
"Hi Theo, thank you for the flowers."
She stared at the message for a moment, her fingers hovering over the send button. Okay… deep breath… just send it. With a small, nervous smile, she pressed send, feeling a mix of excitement and disbelief that her idol had noticed her.
"You're welcome, Isabela," Theo replied.
In her mind, she wondered, How did he know my name? I didn't even introduce myself…
