"Rainelle Sanchez!" Miss Anne, our teacher in math shouted as she check our attendance.

"Present!" I answered.And the roll call went on. The lecture started and yet I cannot concentrate. It's because Kevin and Dianne were seated right in front my eyes! I've always loved my seat because just infront of me is Kevin Sanford. Though his seatmate was Dianne, I didn't care. But now, now that they are together, it is so annoying to watch.

After the class, everyone prepared to go to the cafeteria. Including Kevin, as he walk pass me, he mouthed 'later'.

It means, we have to work on his surprise for Dianne. I just nodded at him.

So the time went on.When everyone is already going home, Kevin pulled me into a room so we could do the props for his surprise.

"So what's your plan?" I asked as I walk around. I see lots of colored papers, deflated balloons and roses.

"What? I thought you made the plan?" he went all confused.

"You told me, I'll just help you cause I'm creative!" I said innocently. If only he knew, I only drag one-eight of my soul for this.

"Did I really say that? Come one! I don't have a plan." He argued as he wiggled like a kid.

"I'm not Dianne's boyfriend okay? Its you. So it's your responsibility to do that. I'm just here to help. And you have tons of friends, why does it have to be me?" I wasn't able to control myself so I blurted things I shouldn't have said if I am in a normal state. I am genuinely pissed at the moment.

"Hey, do you have a PMS right now?" he said chuckling.

I crossed my arms and curled my brows.

He went silent. "So you are really angry? I'm so sorry I dragged you into this. I didn't mean to upset you or anything." He seemed really sincere. I dropped my hands and so is my heart surrendering just like that. I feel so easy.

"Hey, It's not like that. I'm not angry. Maybe I'm just tired," I reasoned. "Why don't we start?" I pretended to look around for something to do. Then suddenly, I felt his arms wrapped around me behind my back. My eyes shot wide and my heart started beating wildly.

"I'm so sorry. I don't want you to be upset even just for a second. I want to see you smiling as always," he whispered.

I closed my eyes. 'Why are you doing this? You are making me all confuse,' I said in my mind. "Okey, okey!" I laughed as I broke away from his hug. "Why don't we cut out letterings, or heart things, something like that?"

"Okay!" he agreed. We didn't arrive at a concrete plan. We just cut out 'happy birthday' lettering and hearts.

"Why do you want to make an event for her anyway?" I asked as I was cutting the letter A. Do you love her that much? I wanted to add but I know it'll sound bad if I did.

"Well, her friends told me she wanted that in her birthday," he casually said.

My mind went irked with Dianne. An event? And she even told that to her friends so they can deliver it to Kevin? If I know, she just wanted attention. I made a little smirk.

"If I were her, a flower and an 'I love you' would be enough," I absentmindedly commented. "Or even without a flower, just a happy birthday, and a love letter, I'll be the happiest girl on planet. I really like love letters, though it's an old way, it can be stored and when you open it again after so many years, the words written in it will bring back the feelings of the past. Something like that," I happily continued.

Then I realized what I just said. I felt like for some reason, I kind of badmouthed Dianne. I looked at Kevin and he was just looking at me intently. His eyes were full of amusement.

"I-I'm sorry," I managed to say.

"Whoah! Really? You like letters?" he asked in awe like he didn't hear me saying sorry. Maybe what I said was not offensive at all.

I just nodded but I felt my face burning up. Why did I suddenly open up my thoughts about love in front of him?

"As expected from you Rainelle. A classic and sentimental girl," he said while ruining my hair.

"Just go back to work, or else we won't finish this," I commanded while giggling.

"Yes ma'am!" he said with a salute.

Two hours went on and we finished decorating the room. Though it was quite unexpected, everything went beautiful. There were balloons scattered on the floor and some were in the ceiling, and the cuttings we made were posted in the blackboard. And the hearts posted in the wall. The balloons in the ceiling gave of different colors as the light from the bulb pass through them. It was quite magical.

Kevin and I stood there in awe in the center of the room while being surrounded by balloons.

"Whoa! We did great!" he exclaimed.

"Yeah!" I couldn't help but agree.

"So, did you change your mind about events like this," he asked as he face me.

"Ahhmmm... No, I still prefer love letters," I smiled. But at some points, maybe I will also like this kind of things. 'Especially if you'll made one for me,'I thought. Smiling, I faced him.

And there was a sudden blow in my heart, like it was punched by air of something. Looking at him, I think he felt the same way as his eyes went wide. Our eyes locked, and I didn't know if it was me or him who made the distance between us closer like we were hypnotized by each other. Little did I know, his lips were already touching mine. I felt his hand at the back of my neck, and the kiss went deeper. It was so magical just like the place we are at, in the midst balloons and in a room of hearts.

BANG!

A balloon exploded, pulling us away from the kiss, waking us to reality and bringing us back to our senses.

'What happened? Did he just kissed me?'My heart jolted with joy. I looked at him and his eyes went restless. We were both speechless. I want him to explain himself and tell me he likes me but then,

"I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to do th-"

"-yeah! It's okay. It's just a kiss." I cut him off. "I'll get going," I said coolly though I felt like I was slapped in the face.

I picked my bag and ran away. I ran, as tears fell down my face. I'm so hurt that I didn't know what to do.

The words 'I'm sorry' kept repeating on my mind.He shouldn't have said sorry. That would be more acceptable.

I'm so hurt. He gave me a chance and a hope on love but he just took it back immediately.

I'm so hurt, I shouldn't have assumed anything from that little kiss.

So as I ran, I made a little pack with myself.

'I promise not to love Kevin Sanford from this day onwards'
