***GRACE

I never thought texting someone would be like a answering an exam. Heck,it's as if I'm in that scene in movies where youre detonating a bomb. But anyway,that is past,and I have passed it. And now,I'm sitting infron of the person I did not think of hanging out with. But of course,we are nkt alone. Afred is just blocks away. Really Alfred? Tailing me is not a good idea. "So,what do you want us to do?" He ask. "Answer my accounting assignment then study for my philosopy class because I jave an kral recitation tomorrow. In short,I do not know." He stares at me for a moment then blink. "Oh,that was a...Anyway,if that's the case then we will go with my plan." "Okey. So?" "Let's go." Then he grabbed my hand. My face instantly felt hot. He is holding my hand for sake! Chill...relax Grace....it's just holding hands. Imhale. Exhale.

Aside from the fact that I have enjoyed our 'hangout' in general,the other thing that I will remember is the 'countless' time he held my hand. Blossom! I can remember how I blush and felt hot whenever he do that. The butterflies in my stomach did have their time. "Ahem...Excuse me." I look at her with a questioning look. "Quiz and oral in finance? Plus activity for Economics? And long exam for Math." I will never get used to Ace being the nerd. "Ace..." "Yeah,I know. I'm just reminding you." The fact that I will have headaches whenever I use my brain is the reason why I do not stress myself much. "Hey,Ace. I saw Al a whike ago-..." "Did he say something?" She asked like am alerted police. "Huh? No? Except thta he say hi,which is unussual. Did something happen to him?" She shake her head. "Let's just go back studying." Huh? What is happening here? Why is Ace gloomy all of a sudden? "Ace?" "Yup?" I look straight to her eyes. I can see sadness. "Nothing." I said then I turn to my books. Something is on.

***AL

So it is very official. Winston claim it already. And what is left is Grace's word. 'Yeah,we dated.' Heck,I have known from the start that this will be the ending of the oth of them. But eventhough how many times I prepare myself I would always be shock and worse hurt. Like hell this is. Hell shit.

***ACE

"I just do not get why people passes eventhough they do not study." I blurtwd. "I'am simoly amazing." "Amazing your face. If I have known you already memorize all our books!" "Eww! I do not eat papers. Bezides,it's not really what you have studied,it is what you have learned." She her phone suddenly chime. "Alfred texted already." "Okey,i'll just put my stuffs upstaits." "No. I'm fine. I can go home myslef." "You sure?" "Yeah." Then she collected her stuffs. "Are you really sure?" "Ace,I am just in the next phase of tgis subdivision." "But it is far from here." "I thought I am the stubborn?" "Fine." She was about to go out from the door when I spotted Al walking down the stairs. That is when a bright idea comes into my mind. "Al!" "What?" "Are you going out?" "Yeah,why?" "Can you drop Grace home?" Al looked at Grace then on me. "If you don't like-..." "Alright,alright. Stupid sister." "Are you sure Al?" Grace asked. "Yeah." Then he eyed me. I just smiled at him. "Oh,wait! I remembered something!" I blurted. Then I drag Al in the kitchen. "What are you thinking?" He asked instantly. "Brother,this is called making chances." "Chances?!? We already know they are dating." "Excuse me brother. I must correct you,they are NOT dating. They just happen to have a date. Get it? A DATE. Meaning it did just happen once." "But it can happen again." "So? What is the problem? Ask her out!" "It ks not that easy Ace. Just imagine that you are dating someone then Grace suddenly ask him out. What will you feel?" "I do not know. Since Grace do not go first move on boys." He sighed. "Just. Just leave me alone,Ace. I am happy that way." "Al." "Don't worry I will bring her home safe. And also your beloved stamrawberry cake." Then he left me. As much as I don't want to go bias,I am still his sister. And I don't want seeing him go like that.

***GRACE

"Sorry if we will just have to walk. Stupid drivers don't go here." He apologized. "It's okey. I don't mind walking." I said. Then my phone chimes. It's a message from Alfred saying where am I. I just replied him then put my phone back to my pocket. "Grace..." I turned to Al who by the way is kind of disturb. Maybe there us something bothering him. "Are you and Winston dating?" I stop walking. Dating? Me? "I...we aren't 'dating' we just have a date." I replied. "But if that 'date' will have a happen again,then I guess that's the time I can call it 'dating'. " I continued. "Oh,okey." Then he suddenly look up and stay like that whike walking. Sometimes I really thought of who is this person beside me. I don't realy know much about him,aside from his being Ace's brother and Winston's bestfriend. "Is tgere something wrong,Al?" I asked him. He looked at me then smiled. Huh? What was that about? "Grace,did you know about the story of the 'Other Prince'?" "Other Prince? I don't remember hearing that story." "Mind if I do some story telling?" I just nodded. "Once upon a time,in a far away land there was a twin brothers. One loves blue,the other loves black. The one who lovez blue is Prince One and the other is Prince Two. Prince One, is an ideal prince for every girl in the kingdom. While Prince Two is ignored,it's as if there is only one Prince in the kingdom. Then one day,while having a race. The twin brothers met a very lovely girl. She is so beautiful,and instantly the two of the prince fell inlove with her. Prince One confessed to tge king about his love for the girl. The king gave his blessing to the him,so he can court her. Prince One started to court the girl. Until one day,when the girl pass by a small room in tge palace he heard someone playing a piano. She peered through the door and saw Prince Two. When Prince Two noticed her,he let her in. The two talk for awhile. Then Prince Two suddenly  onfessed his feelings for her." Then Al stopped walking. "Why did you stop?" "Were already here." "What?" Then I jist noticed we are already infront of our house. "Oh. Okey. Continue!" I said. I'm so exited about the story. It's kinda fairytale for me,and I love fairytales. "Nah,go insaid now. I will just tell you next time." "Naa...please?" "You really are like Ace. You use your special olease powers to get what you want." "Please,Al!" "You won't like what will happen." "I don't care." "Okey. So Prince Two confessed, but the girl just went out the room and left Prince Two wondering and aching for being a traitor to his brother. The end." "What?? That's it?? Al! You're joking!" "No,I'm not." "I don't believe you!" "Then don't. Goodnight Grace." The he started walking away. I can't believe that's the end. That's not like fairytale! "Al! Who is the author of the story!" I shouted. He pause,turned,smiled,turned then started walking again.. What the?? "Hey!" I shouted. "Mr. Me!" He shouted back. What? Mr. Me?? Who's that? "Grace,why are you shouting? Go inside now." "Alfred,do you know an author named Mr. Me?" "No. Get inside already." "Okey." Then I went in.
