  Arison University will hold a Prom this year. It will be held in the stadium of Arison University at the 14th of December 2023. It will also serve as our year-end party so better watch out!

JAKE

It already has been a couple of months since we became together.Today is the 7th of December, we currently don't have classes this hour. The admin of the facebook page of our Uni announced something about a prom. Siyempre sino na pa ba yayakagin ko?

"Babe! Nakita mo na yung announcement? Should we go together?" Ethan came from the bathroom after his second time showering.

"I was about to-" my phone rang all of a sudden, I look at Ethan and whispered if I can take the phone call. He nodded and I went outside for a minute.

ETHAN

Maybe he's busy, he hasn't come to the infirmary lately. Maybe he's really preparing to stay here for his third semester. That was the deal he made with his father... He must seek happiness before becoming a doctor. I was happy that his father accepted us and even cherished our visit in Cavite.

My phone rang all of a sudden, it was Natalie! She was notifying that we have class in 30 minutes. I rushed dressing and grabbed a toast and went outside. I heard Jake saying "mwa mwa"... weird? Anyway, I kissed him even though somethings throwing me off. I said goodbye and he kissed me too.

He was very strange, oh well, I must focus. This is our final class for this week, it's our first semester finals on Monday. I was thankful to be honest. He tutored me this couple of weeks that's why I'm prepared.

Yesterday was very tiring. Jake supported me all the way through. He was there from morning to the afternoon. He also bought me lunch and ate with me.

Today, I don't plan anything, just rest. Jake told me he would go to the gym, I skipped for today. He also told me he has shifts in the infirmary today so he wasn't able to accompany me. He is really weird lately. Tomorrow, Jake told me we would go and buy ourselves tuxedos. We want a matching design but In a different color.

I layed down all afternoon. I can't wait to see my Jake. He said he'd be out early. I don't know what to do while waiting so I opened his Valorant account. He lets me play everytime. Time passed by, I got addicted to it. Another forty minutes of standard mode.

Jake arrived and kissed me. I was too focus playing I didn't even realize he cooked dinner for us.

"Babe, eat your dinner ah! Na-invite ako sa birthday, relative siya, want ako ni dad na samahan siya!" Sabi sa akin ni Jake nung dahan-dahan niyang tinanggal yung headphones na suot ko.

"Can't you stay babe? Wala ako kasama maghapon" I pouted, napipikon ako ah.

"Just this once baby, bilhan nalang kita pasalubong! Ano want mo?" He talked in a soft and cute voice. I couldn't help it aghh, damn you Jake!

"Ice Cream and fries" That blurted out of my mouth without hesitating. Ethan para kang babae na naglilihi.

"Sige baby! I'll be back before eight!" He kissed me on the forehead and I continued my game.

"Ingat babe!" Sigaw ko naman habang palabas siya. Nasulyapan ko ang mga ngiti niya at kinilig din ako.

After a while, I rested and ate the dinner he cooked for me. It was a hot sinigang. Perfect for the cold breeze of December. It was seven pm, I'm still waiting. I check my socials because I'm too bored. Minutes later, I saw Jake added a story on Insta. I checked it and it was a Tiktok of him dancing with a girl? Is he cheating on me? I checked it thoroughly and she was mentioned. Her username is alssndra12... It was private. How could he do this?

"Hey babe I'm back!" Jake opened the door while I was still digesting everything I saw.

"Oh hi! Did you eat na?" Tanong ko.

"Yep, dala ko na pala pasalubong mo po mahal!" Jake smiled, I couldn't just throw an argument.

"Thank you, dalhin mo nalang sa table babe" Matamlay kong sabi.

"Are you okay? Did something happen to you while I wasn't here?" Pag-aalala niya.

"No, I'm okay. I'm still tired from yesterday! You can wash up na and sleep na tayo early? I want to rest na" Pagod kong sabi. Sa totoo lang, galit na galit ako kay Jake. I don't wanna look pathetic, throwing tantrums, I'll double-check if he's really cheating.

It was the next day, I was still skeptical about him. He got the car keys and drove us in central manila to find this particular shop. He mentioned something about the brand Signet? I googled it and it was a luxurious tailoring shop.

We went inside and tried some tuxedos. We saw this suit where it is the same design but different colors. We tried it on and he liked it. Jake was happy, I was faking it.

"Are you okay? Are you not okay with this one?" Jake asked with his puppy eyes.

"No, I like it... We should wear this, it's cute" I smiled and he smiled to me also.

"Tara picture! 1 2... ay sige! Serious face para cool! o ayan naka timer na, pose ka baby!" He said it in an excited tone.

Jake, once I made sure you're cheating on me, you will turn that happiness upside down. You're not the Jake I used to know...
