Darren and Paulene's Day to Shine

Paulene's POV

*heavy breathes* This is the day when Darren and I will shine. This is the day when we will prove it. *heavy breathes*

Darren went in my room, looking nervous.

Paulene: *laughs* Are you okay?

Darren: I feel so sick.

Paulene: You're just nervous. I am sure of it.

Darren: Should we eat breakfast now?

Paulene: Yeah sure. I feel so hungry now.

We went downstairs and we saw Andrea cooking our breakfast.

Darren: You cook?

Andrea: What a question! Of course!

Darren: I didn't know you cook so be polite in answering!

Andrea: WELL!!! NOW YOU KNOW!!!

Darren: Are you okay?

Andrea: Whatever!

Paulene: Guys, guys, stop fighting! Why are you always against each other?

Andrea: Malay ko!!!!! (walk out)

When Andrea left, Darren clinched his fist and smashed the table, angrily.

Paulene: DARREN! What is your problem?

Darren: Everytime we meet again, it always end like this.

Paulene: What to do you mean?

Darren: She is hiding something from us. I am sure of it.

Paulene: You want me to talk to her?

Darren: Yes, please.

I walked towards Andrea's room. When I opened the door, I caught her packing up her things.

Paulene: Where are you going?

Andrea:......

Paulene: ANDREA! Listen to me! Where are you going?

Andrea: *runs to Paulene and hugs her tightly while crying*

Paulene: Why are you crying?

Andrea: When you and Darren were still fast asleep, my mom called me. She told me that we will be leaving for Florida today. My aunt told us to stay there and let me study there. I rejected my aunt's offer because I wanna stay here with you and Darren but my father will get angry at me if I rejected it, and you know how much I never want to let my father angry.

I was teary- eyed and then before I could speak up, someone shouted.

Darren: What!?

Paulene: Darren!

Darren: You're going to Florida?

Andrea: *nods*

Darren: Why? Why should you go there?

Andrea: Dar--

Darren: NO!!! WHY SHOULD YOU GO THERE? YOU CAN STUDY IN ANY SCHOOL HERE IN THE PHILIPPINES!!! WHY SHOULD IT BE THERE IN FLORIDA???? CAN'T YOU TELL YOUR DAD? YOUR AUNT? YOUR PARENTS!?!?!?!  I HAVE ENOUGH OF THIS DANG SITUATION!!!! (walk out)

Paulene: Darren........

Andrea: It's okay, Paulene. He's right. I can't stand up for myself. I am dependent.

Paulene: Andrea... don't say that.

Andrea: I better go. Our flight is 10:00. Got to go! Bye Paulene!
