"Mam! Darren said he can't join in the Mr. And Ms. VMS 2015." My classmate said. I looked at Darren. He was just looking at the ground. We weren't seatmates because the seat plan changed.

"Well, Mr. Labajo, can you replace Mr. Espanto?" Mam said.

No, please, no.

A week passed and we haven't talked, it'll be awkward if he's gonna be my partner.

I looked at JK. He was like asking me if it's ok. I moved my head 'no'.

"M-mam, I can't." JK said.
"Well, who's gonna be Ms. Demeterio's partner for the contest? It's will be held on friday!" Mam asked.

Darren suddenly talked.

"M-mam...we'll...talk about it." He said. I was just surprised. He continued to look at the ground.
"Good. I want that decision after class. Ok, you can now take your break." Mam said as she left the classroom.

I was about to get my wallet when I saw Darren walking towards me. My heart was pumping so fast I didn't know what to do.

"Tiffany....c-can I talk to you?" He said nervously.

We went in the library.

"W-why?" I asked him.

"I-I know you're still mad with JK.....and all I wanna do right now is....to fix the problem." Darren said.

"W-What d-do you mean?" I asked.

"I wanna fix this....what we're having. I want us to be ok, not only you and me, but also JK."

My world stopped for a while. A tear escaped from my eye.

"H-how?"

"I want JK to be your escort in the upcoming contest.......in that way....I can make you and JK close again.....and that's the only way I could forgive you." He said.

I hugged him and I was crying so hard.

"Thank you, Darren....Thank you." I cried.

"It's ok. And I know....your heart shouts out JK's name, I don't want to force you to be my girlfriend even if you're not happy." He said.

"I-I'm happy with you but...."

"Yes, that's what I'm saying. I support you and JK, kung saan ka masaya, masaya din ako." He smiled.....and cried.

"T-thank you, D-Darren." He said and hugged him so hard. This is so awkward. I've never been this dramatic since the day Darren broke up with me.

Classes were dismissed. JK was running outside the room so I chased him.

"JK! JK!" I said. He looked at me, looks like he was shocked.

"I-I wanna talk to you." I said. His eyes widen.

We went outside and sat on a bench.

"Me and Darren talked a while ago." I said.

"R-really?"

"Y-yes, he...he wanted you to be my escort in the contest." I said. He was surprised with what I said.

"A-are you sure?!" He said.

"Yes....he said that was the only way that he could forgive us and......make us close again." I said. He was just looking at me then suddenly he was jumping all around, screaming.

"YES! YES THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!" He screamed.

"JK, calm down! You're really embarrassing!" I said.

"Oh, hahahaha! Sorry! Let's go to your house, maybe?" He said with a big smile. I missed this JK.

I stood up and hugged him so hard. Ugh, I missed you so much JK. I knew he was surprised, I couldn't help it. My life was a mess for the past few weeks, I'm so relieved right now.

Me and JK went inside our house. Memories came back, from the first time JK and Darren went inside our house, when I was chasing Darren, JK had a lot of frosting on his face, when I noticed Darren's really good at badminton....when they saw my room. Ooh, I wanna cry and go back again.

"Hey, are you listening to me?" JK said.

"Wa-what? What?"

"I said I really missed your house. It kinda changed though." He said. I missed you too, JK.

"What?" He said. Oops, I said it too loud hahaha.

"Ooh, nothing. I said I have cupcakes here, do you want some?" I said.

"What? Are you serious? I MISSED YOUR CUPCAKES!" JK said as he rushed to the kitchen.

He found a box full of cupcakes in the fridge and bit them all.

"Hahaha, di ka naman gutom?" I asked.

"I missed this sooooooooo much!" He said.

"Let's go to your room?" He grabbed my arm and ran towards my room.

He opened the door and his eyes widen.

"Whoa--i-it....cha-changed." He said.
"Yah. Nothing's permanent in this world." I said.

He walked around the room with a sad face.

"Where's the photos? Where's the posters? Where's the fangirl things here?" He said while facing the white wall.
"Do you think I still fangirl over you? Hahaha."
"Oh, yeah. Bakit di ko yun naisip?" He said and continued to rome around my room. He sat down on my bed.

"*sigh* everything has changed, huh?" He said.
"Yeah." I said and sat beside him.
"Can you tell Darren 'thank you' for me?" He said.
"For what?"
"For.....fixing things." He whispered.
"I--It's much appreciated if you say that to him."
"I-I ca-- it's hard." He stuttered.
"Why?"
"You know, with all we've been through? I was really surprised Darren forgave us...with all that I've done...."

I thought of something for a second.

"You know....I have an idea for you to thank Darren." I said.
"What?"
"Let him see that we won Mr. and Ms. VMS!!"
"Good idea! Let's start practicing!" He said. He picked up my guitar and played a song I don't remember the title.

I'ts her hair and her eyes today
That just simply takes me away
And the feeling that I'm falling further in love makes me shiver but in a good way

All the times I have sat and stared
As she thoughtfully thumbs through her hair
As she purses her lips
Bats her eyes and she plays with me sitting there slack jawed and nothing to say

Cause I love her with all that I am
And my voice shakes along with my hands
Cause she's all that I see and she's all that I need and I'm out of my league again.

He looked at me in the eyes and smiled. Oh, I missed you so much, JK.
