--------------------------------

"So, tell me everything!" Sandy exclaimed as I told her on the phone that I have some news for her.

"Okay, where do I start?"

"At the beginning, you dummy." I don't know what's gotten into her after Keith asked her. She's going more and more bonkers everyday.

"Hey, we can we just proceed to the climax. It's too long to speak."

"No! Tell me every bit of information. I know you're just exaggerating it."

"Yeah..." I murmured. "To start off, first when we parted ways, Lyle grabbed my hand and I dropped my books. Then he asked me who's going to be my date in prom, and I thought for a while that he's going to ask me, but yeah, I remembered Becca. And then I called Sam and told Lyle that ge's going to be my prom date. Then I asked him what he wants, he said that he wants me to help him." I was trying to catch my breath. I was speaking too fast. Then I continued,"My mouth suddenly agreed. I was supposed to take that back but he spoke first so after that, Sam and I walked to our classroom together."

"Ah," she said simply.

"Hello? Is that what you've got to say?"

"Yes, because I've got nothing to say."

"Since when? Oh, yeah I remembered. Since Keith asked you out," I stuck my tongue at her. "I'm hurt you know. You always fantasize about Keith and you've forgotten about me!" I fake cry.

"Shut it, no. No. I- No- Sorry," she stuttered.

I smirked, "Just joking!"

"I'll get you for that! But anyways, I don't know what's up with Lyle. It's like, he can't stand on his own. Can he not try to think of his own efforts? It's his girlfriend, not yours."

"I don't know either. I don't understand if its because I'm his bestfriend so I'm part of his affairs or because he doesn't know how to move a girl," I frowned.

"I think you should stop that. You're not his maid or whatever."

"But-"

"No buts. Do it and maybe your feelings will subside."

Do I really have to do that?

"I'll try." I said with a sigh.

"How many times did I hear that from you?"

I sighed. "Sandy, stop worrying about me. It's not like I'm gonna die because of that." I smiled.

She scoffed. "Yes, not physically. But I know you're emotionally hurt."

"You know what, let's not think of that anymore," I said. "Let's go to the mall and I'm gonna help you find a dress."

"What about you?"

"Oh, me? Haha, don't worry. I'm not going."

"What?! You just told Lyle awhile ago that you're going with Sam and now you're telling me that you're not going?"

"Shush, I was just joking! C'mon! Time to have another girl time. Wohoooo!" And I walked towards the door.

"Shush, I was just joking." She mimicked me and laughed.

--------

We arrived at the mall and we got confused. We don't know where we'll start dress-hunting.

"You know what, let's just eat," I said.

I was walking towards a food stall when she grabbed my hand.

"No, stop eating. You'll get fat!"

"Hell-o, I haven't ordered yet! And since when did you become concious?" I asked. "Ahh, yeah. It's because Keith asked you!" I stuck my tongue at her.

"You know what, I'm starting to think that you're thinking of Keith! Do you have a crush on Keith? Huh? Huh?" She eyed me jokingly.

I showed a disgusted face. "He's all yours. I have my own Lyle you know."

"Speaking of Lyle, look at my 9 o'clock."

I looked to her left and saw him. With her. They're together.

I instantly spoke up. "You know what, let's go to another stall." I was walking away when she grabbed my hand again.

"No uh-uh miss, we'll eat here, whether you like it or not. That's Plan Moving On #1: You have to see his face everyday in order for you to get used to and not be hurt or shocked whenever you see him." She smiled. "In short, you have to be immuned by his presence."

"Wait lady. What book did you read that quoted that line? And I'm not moving on. I'm just, you know, sad because of the things that recently happened, but I have no plan in moving on." I frowned.

She shrugs. "Stop with that 'I have no plan on moving on' crap. I know you want to. You just can't. or should I say, you won't." She walked ahead of me. "Because for you, moving on means saying goodbye."

I gaped. She really knows me. I mean, I'm not the type of girl who shows her emotions like a drama queen. "We're supposed to have a good time, not talking about this." I sighed.

"We'll eventually-" Sandy was cut off by a voice.

"Hey, what're you doing here?" Lyle. I know his voice.

"Uhh, Sandy and I decided to have a girl time." I gave him a smile.

"Why don't we all go together?" Rebecca chimed in enthusiastically.

"Su-"

"Sorry. but I would like to have her for myself only." Sandy gave her a sarcastic smile.

I looked at Lyle, and he looked back like asking "What's wrong?" and I just looked away. 

"Let's go. Our food is waiting for us. Bye, Lyle and Becca." Sandy grabbed my arm,

I looked at them. Becca's not a bad girl. I mean, she's not like the other girls who gets clingy and possessive. Well, I can say Lyle's in good hands. And I have no plan on ruining their relationship. They both deserve each other. I sighed and walked away. 

----------------------------------------

"What was that all about?" I asked Sandy.

"I saved your ass from him. Well maybe he has another favor to ask so it''s better to be safe," she winked.

I laughed. SO HARD. "Did you just say the word "ass?" That was so not you, Sandy," I kept on laughing.

"Shut up. There's always a first in everything."

"Whatever Sandy, whatever. Just can't get over the fact that you said ASS." I gave emphasis on the "ass" word.

"Hmph, typical you, the slow one!" She shoved some Ice cream on my face.

"Ohh, I see. Let the food war begin!" And we kept running around and the manager went up on us and he made us leave. 

So much for this day. And you know what, I had fun. Not thinking of Lyle and pain and stuffs and having a girl time? Yeah, super fun. I guess this is the first sign for me to actually move on.
