CHAPTER 6: "I LOVE YOU, CELINE"

     "Travis..." Celine hugs Travis' arm tighter. "Where are we going?"

     "Guess dear." Travis answered.

     "Give me a clue. PLEASE??"

     "Hmm, It starts with S."

     "S?? What?"

     "Figure out." smiles at Celine.

     "Come on… Pretty please?"

     "Hahaha… Kiss me first."

     "After your answer Travis."

      Travis then leans down on Celine and whispers something in her ear.

     "S...."

          "SCHOOL!! You'll be late for school Celine! Get up already!" Gabriella tugs on Celine's arm.

          "Mmm, yeah, I'm up..."Celine slowly sits up from her bed.

          "Hurry! Rika may get angry."

          "Yeah. I'll follow." Gabriella goes out of Celine's room. Celine then proceeds to the bathroom. "What was that dream all about? It seemed so...real. Like, I and Travis would be together someday... Get a hold of yourself Celine! You know that it is impossible. Because, Travis would never fall for someone like me..."

          Meanwhile, at Travis' place...

          Travis is currently cooking his breakfast. He is thinking very deeply also. "Love, huh? I never imagined that I would be yearning for a girl, especially one as old as my sister. How lame Travis. You are so lame… And yet, I still can't stop my feelings… I want to see her. But-" He remembers something.

          "I love Celine."

          "Oh Travis... I'm sorry." Hilary sits in front of Travis.

          "Why? Why are you apologizing?"

          "I feel like I'm the one who caused all of these. If I hadn't introduced her, you wouldn't have fallen for her."

          "Wait, you think that what I'm feeling is a fault? That it is wrong?"

          "Because, IT is wrong Travis. You're a teacher and she's a student. You're seven years older than her. What do you think would be other people's impression on this? I'm sure, they would all think that you are playing with her."

          "I would never do that Hilary."

          "But to others, you already have."

          "..When did love become wrong?"

          "I don't know. Don't ask me."

          "Maybe what Rika said was true. Maybe, I should just stay away from her."

          "If that is what you think the right thing, do it. I'll support you all the way." Hilary smiles at Travis and holds his hand.

          "I promised Hilary that I wouldn't. I would let her forget about me. This is for her own good." Travis doesn't notice that his food got overcooked. "What the?! Grr, I'm so STUPID!"
