Luke: I'll do it!
Hawk: Now that's the spirit! You have to bring her gifts too! Like flowers! Or chocolate!
Luke: How about you?
Hawk: What do you mean?
Luke: What did you give when you tell Rose you like her?
Hawk: Nothing. 'Cause when I'm about to do it, I blacked out.
{Read Chapter 9}
Luke: So, you don't have a time to say it to her?
Hawk: Pretty much. But!
Luke shocked.
Luke: There's a but?
Hawk: She already know how I feel and vice versa. So we're good!
Luke: Lucky...
Luke sighed.
Rose's PoV
Rose: So, where is this guy?
I looked around.
Joy: He's over there!
Rose: Where?
I squint my eyes.
Joy: He's right there!
She walks closer to the place.
Joy: Huh? Where is he?
Rose: Maybe he left?
I touched her shoulder.
Joy: But, he's right there...
She pointed something, which is nothing, near the tree.
Rose: I'm sorry Joy, I know you're trying to convince yourself, but, I can't see him...
Joy: No! He's. Right. There!
She shook my body
Joy: You believe me right???
She threat me
Rose: Of, of course I do! But, maybe I need a time to see him...
I fake smiled her
Joy: Thanks, Rose...
She hugged me and I hugged her back.
Rose: Hey, wanna get an ice cream?
Joy: Sure!
I have to tell this to Hawk and Luke...
Luke's PoV
Hawk: Here she comes!
My heart beats faster.
Hawk: Like we've trained Luke, give her this bouquet of flowers and say the magic words! Understand?
Luke: Yup, now, please wipe my sweat in my forehead... I don't want to look sweaty in front of her...
I give him a tissue.
Hawk: Ish, why do I have to do this...
Luke: Hawk! She's coming!
I pushed Hawk away from me and fall ontop of a bush
Hawk: Hey! Just stay calm and don't push your friend away...
He stare at me.
Luke: Shhh... Shut your dirty mouth Hawk...
Joy: Hey, guys~
Luke: H... He... Hey...
I smile nervously
Rose: What's up with that facial expression?
Rose lick her ice-cream and Hawk chuckle... Ugh.
Rose: Hawk, may I have a word with you?
Hawk: Ok, sure. Do you want it to be private or public?
Rose: Private.
Hawk: *gulp* Sure!
Rose and Hawk leave. Now it's my chance!
Luke: Joy, can I talk to you?
I sit down
Joy: Sure, what's up?
She sit next to me
Luke: I want to say this from the first time we met, but I have no courage to say it.
Joy: Really?? What is it?
She is so excited
Luke: I... Li... Li...
Joy: Li? You lie to me or something?
Luke: No! I... Lik...
Catherine: Huh?! Are you choking?? Let me help you!
Catherine just came out of nowhere and help me
Joy: Catherine! Stop! He's not choking!
Catherine: Really? Wow... Hehe, sorry Luke, I guess I trained to be a life saver really paid off! Once again, sorry Luke!
She ran away
Joy: So, what do you want to say?
Luke: I'm not gonna waste your time now.. *inhale* I LIKE YOU, PRINCESS JOY!
Minutes before Luke confess
Rose: I guess Joy can see ghosts
Hawk: What? How?
Rose: And I guess the guy in a cat cosplay is dad...
Hawk: You mean King Shire?
Rose: Yes, when she said her long lost hug from the person that she lost, it got me thinking, 'Long lost hug? Oh please Joy, you never lose someone you love... You're not even in a relationship! The one that you lose is dad... Wait, dad?! Oh no...' that's how I got my theory...
Hawk: You're getting smart aren't you?
Hawk clapped
Rose: Of course! I'm the greatest!
Rose bragged.
Hawk: But, the teacher that taught you until midnight is the greatest! Which is, me.
Hawk points at himself
Rose: Ok, fine 'Teacher who taught me even though it's midnight' you win...
Hawk grinned
Rose: And, I hope nothing bother her now...
Hawk: Like what?
Rose: Something emotional. Like, making her cry, heart attack, and confessions...
Hawk: About that...
They heard Luke screamed 'I LIKE YOU, PRINCESS JOY'
Hawk: That's quick.... Hehe...
Hawk grinned and Rose crossed her arm and raised an eyebrow.
Hawk: I'm sorry....
Back to the "JoKe" scene.
Joy: I... I....
Luke: Will you be my girlfriend?
Joy: Um... I don't know... I... Have to go...
Joy ran away
Hawk's PoV
Rose: So, where are they?
Hawk: The same place we leave them...
We run as fast as we could to check on Joy's condition...
*too busy running and didn't see who's walking pass them*
Luke: Joy!
Joy: Leave me alone!
Luke: I'm sorry!
We stopped.
Rose: Wait, is that Joy and Luke?
I shrugged.
Hawk: Uh huh, that's them!
Rose: Ugh....
Rose growled and we follow them.
*while running*
Rose: Hawk! Please stop... I can't run anymore...
Rose panted.
Hawk: Me too... Let's sit there
I pointed at a bench.
Rose: Why are they so fast? Are we getting older or something?
Hawk: Yup, they're younger than us...
Rose: How old is Luke?
Hawk: He's 14, but he's born in the same year with Joy. He's January 1st and Joy's December 31st...
Rose: Today's 29 December! It means, 2 more days to make the most fantabulous day ever for her!
She squeals
Hawk: Can I join you planning the party?
Rose: Sure! It's been a while we don't make something together...
Hawk: Oh! I got an idea, how about we celebrate both of their birthdays??
Rose: I don't get it...
Hawk: So, we're gonna celebrate their birthday in midnight! So when the clock strikes midnight, Joy's gonna be 14 and Luke's gonna be 15!
Rose: So, you're saying we're gonna make a double birthday bash???
Hawk: Indeed
She squeals harder
Rose: Let's start planning!
Catherine's PoV
Jade: Where's Joy?? I waited too long!
Jade checks her watch
Catherine: I dunno, maybe you should wait a little longer
I said, decorating the flowers for Jade.
Jade: Alright that's it, Cath, search a guy or girl, now!
Catherine: Nah... Don't feel like it
Jade: Or I'll tell dad about the secret magic thing...
She teases me
Catherine: Fine! But don't tell dad or I'll give you a curse
I walk away.
What guy or gal or pal should I pick? There's Rose! And the bird guy! Wait, they are having their moment... Let's not disturb them... How about that guy? That red hair guy is pretty lonely...
Catherine: Sir, would you mind be a model for my friend's painting for the day?
The red hair guy: Sure! Do I have to pay?
Catherine: Nope, and I'm sure my sister gonna name the painting "The Red Hair Guy" or maybe your name.
The red hair guy: My name is Cyrus. Duke Cyrus
Catherine: Okay Dukie, over here
*go back to Jade*
Catherine: Jade, this is Duke, who?
Cyrus: Cyrus, Duke Cyrus, your young highness...
Jade: Just call me Jade, oh! Call me Princess Jade... Please seat down and stay still
Cyrus: Alright...
Catherine: Hey, I'm going to search Joy...
Cyrus: You mean the green hair girl?
Catherine: Yes, do you see her?
Cyrus: She walked pass me with a blond guy earlier... I guess this "Joy" is avoiding this "Luke" and they're walking straight
Catherine: Hh... Teenagers.. When will the drama ends??
I growled.
Jade: Please, I'm trying to concentrate over here!
Catherine: Sheeshh, fine...
I walk away.
Where could they be?? Duke Cyrus said they walked pass him, so I found Dukie near that fountain, and he said they're walking straight ahead, it means they're walking in this way!
*follow the path*
15 minutes later
Catherine: There's 2 turns, right and left.. Where did they go? Is it right, or left?
