"I took the risk for you. I lied to my parents about us. I accepted the pain that you brought me. I love you. That's what my heart says. But why did you leave me? Why did you leave me on my birthday? Why did you leave me... on new year's eve?"

His voice sent shivers down my spine. I immediately looked at him. He flashed on a charming smile. My heart beated twice its normal rate. I'm doomed.
He held my hand and dragged me to the blue shed. Walang tao doon dahil ang lahat ay nandoon sa quadrangle.
"Are you okay?" he asked again.
I cleared my throat before speaking.
"I-I'm okay. Thank you." I breathed to calm my fast beating heart. "Thank you din pala ulit. Ikaw pala yung nag dala sa akin sa clinic."
He chuckled. "No worries. Okay ka na ba ngayon? Hindi ka na ba nahihilo?"
"I'm fine now."
"That's good to hear. I heard the reason why you fainted is because you were the one who painted the backdrop."
"Uh yeah. Pinagod ko ng masyado ang sarili ko. Na-pressure din kasi ako dahil baka panget ang resulta."
"Panget? Eh ang ganda kaya non! Ang hirap din naman kasi ng pininta mo. Parang world map kasi yun diba? Tapos ang detailed ng pagkagawa!"
"Ano ka ba! Maliit na bagay lang yun no!"
We both laughed.
"Ang galing mo! Kaya nga lodi kita eh! Pero dapat alagaan mo rin sarili mo."
I gave him a smile.
"Ikaw rin ba ang nag calligraphy non?"
"Hindi. Si Elle ang nag calligraphy non."
He nodded. I remembered my conversation with my friends. Nica likes him. I should distance myself from him.
"Elle Villania?"
"Oo. Siya. Yung matalino."
He nodded then smiled. I also did the same.
"Balik na tayo." aya ko. He just nodded and we went back to the quad.
Saktong pag balik namin nag simulang patugtugin ng DJ ang kantang You Are So Beautiful by Joe Cocker. Nagsitayuan ang mga guru upang pumunta sa dance floor. Nakita kong nakasimangot si Luca na bumalik sakanyang upuan habang ang kanyang best friend na si Andy ay nakipagsayawan sakanyang kasintahan na si Rob. Nakita ko rin na sumasayaw si Chie at Jared. I smiled.
"Madame Elyse Sapphire, will you dance with me?"
I looked at Zandro who is now handing out his hand for me. I stared at him for a second, stunned at what he did. Did he... just asked me to dance? He smiled. The smile that could melt any girls heart.
I held his hand and we went to the dance floor. He went closer and slowly brought my hands on his nape before snaking his arms on my waist. We are now so close! I feel like I stopped breathing seconds ago. I faced the ground tp avoid his gaze. He flashed on a charming smile.
