"In the next lifetime, we can live as normal humans again. In love, and the word revenge was out in the dictionary." - Cassiedra Vieja

Yvanne blew the candle as he finished saying his simple but sweet message to Cassey. They were in an activity that gathers every student in the Campus. She was quite speechless after hearing those words coming from his long time crush. A confession, that he is brave enough to tell how much he loves her deeply. Yvanne promised Cassey, that they will dance together tomorrow night at the ball to show his sincerity. She never expected in her entire life that this guy knows her. She smiled, and to her surprise, she jump into excitement and hug Yvanne.

Cassey is pretty but a shy one, and Yvanne is known as the 'Boyfriend of All' the girls in the Campus. She likes him because of his eyes, which is longing for a true and passionate love, even though he was known for being a Casanova.

The ball night comes and will about to start in a minute. Yvanne look around the place and search for the beautiful lady Cassey. He never thought that he will see her wonderfully wearing a red dress and silver high-heeled shoes. All eyes was turn into Cassey and every man tries to catch her attention, but Cassey was looking straight to him, and suddenly, Cassey was called by her friends to seat beside them. Cassey blushed when seeing Yvanne walking near her with a bunch of red roses, but Jerisse blocked Yvanne's way.

"Hey, honey! You're so sweet. I love you!" said Jerisse while taking the flowers in Yvanne's hand.

Cassey's mood turns from an inspired lady into a serious one. Cassey thought that Jerisse was one of Yvanne's girlfriends, not knowing that Jerisse was one of those girls who are head over heels and deeply madly in love with Yvanne, even though he was always ignoring that girl. Yvanne doesn't have the chance to come closer to Cassey because of Jerisse who's following him wherever he goes. Yvanne walks as fast as he could and try to escape into Jerisse eyes. And finally, he succesfully escaped.

But when he has the time to talk to Cassey, the beautiful lady was not around already. Yvanne doesn't know where Cassey goes. He asked Cassey's classmates, but answered "Restroom, but 30 minutes had passed and she doesn't come back."

Yvanne searches Cassey all over the place, but even the lady's shadow is absent. No one knows where Cassey go, and that makes Yvanne nervous.

Yvanne received a phone call from Cassey and requesting him to leave the ball and go to the nearest resort. "Peach's Lime Resort--to be exact." He hurriedly comes to the place where Cassey told him, but no one was there...

Exept her, Cassey. She was standing fine and obviously waiting for Yvanne at the center table where a candlelight dinner was set.

"For what, Cassey?" he asked her curiously and sit on the other side.

She answered, "I just want your promise to happen--a dance."

"I really do love you, Cassey. I'm sorry 'bout Jerisse, she's just-"

Cassey interrupts, "Don't worry, Yvanne. I'm not mad or any... you know."

"That's good, at least I know that were fine. Does anyone here, except us?"

"No one, just the two of us." Cassey answered plainly.

Instead of being comfortable with Cassey, Yvanne was feeling the other way. He decided to go to the restroom for a while, maybe to think if everything was alright. He's sensing something, but he doesn't figure it out.

He was about to go out to the Men's restroom, but Cassey was right in front of him. Wearing an extremely seductive lingerie. They kissed. But at some moment, Yvanne was confused on what is happening. He asked the lady whom he loves, "What is this all about?" but Cassey didn't stop seducing him. Until he really wants to get away in the lips of Cassey, he stopped her with full strength and asks what is happening.

"You really don't know, huh?!" Cassey raised her voice.

"Know what, Cassey?" confused.

"Don't you remember me?! I'm Cassiedra Vieja! The girl you fooled before! You were my first love back then, but what did you do? You choose my bitch friend over me! What's more to that? You raped me! You abused my innocence, you force me! Remember now??!" Cassey yelled at Yvanne, her anger made her to get the gun on her bag.

"Wa-wait. Cassiedra? No, no, no! You are not her! Your look is different from her! This is not true!”  Yvanne run but Cassey use the gun and shoot his leg.

"Stupid! D'you remember the night that I caught you with my bitch friend at the comfort room?! You choose her, that's why I run and get a taxi, but an accident happened, white lights ahead. We bumped into a truck, which damages my face. I decided to take a surgery, to change my look. Also for you not to recognize me, for my revenge will be easier. This is me! Cassiedra! The one you fooled around!"

"I-I'm sorry if I hurt you before, please forgive me and don't shoot the gun again. We can talk about this, please. Cassiedra!" said Yvanne while sitting at the floor near the pool. His blood overflowed.

"Talk about what? Fooling around? Rape someone who thought that they're love by their boyfriend? Cheating? What else, uhm. Ruining my life? Or you will be dead."

"I demand you to choose the last option!" Cassey yelled at Yvanne.

"Please, stop! I love you, Cassey. We can start again. Please let me do my promise--a dance." Said Yvanne while trying to stand even if his wound is bleeding.

"Oh, how sweet of you, huh? You really thought that I had a crush on you, or either loves you? Naaah. You’re wrong! Love leaved my heart years ago; I just have to pretend, Darling!"

Yvanne doesn't give up, he stand and walk to come near Cassey, but Cassey on the other hand walk backwards just to stay away.

She warns Yvanne, that if he comes near her, she will shoot his head. But Yvanne's sincerity was pure now. She really loves Cassey or Cassiedra, anyhow. He thinks that how was life is such a jerk, if he's not serious the girl's the one, and the situation now, he's serious, but the girl doesn't trust her because he hurt her many times.

Yvanne reached Cassey's hand, finally. His hope never vanish that Cassey still love her.

They dance, and the chance to dance was now. Not tomorrow, not next time but this time.

"Cassiedra, Cassey. You can believe me or not, but I really love you. Without hesitations and confusions. The past is not important now, but the present. I regret everything that I’ve done to you for many years. I’d try to find you but I didn’t succeed. And now, you’re here. You are my love, and will be my eternity if you wish, too. Can we please start again?" They dance, even without music. Even without anyone.

"Yes, we can..." Cassey answered.

"In the next lifetime-" Cassey shoot Yvanne straight to the heart. He's now lying on the cold ground.

“We can live as normal humans again. In love, and the word revenge was out in the dictionary."

Cassey laughs very hard-- to death.

Until she shoot herself, too.
