Maine Mendoza~

I got to home safely with all my things. Alden is a really nice guy. I like him. I brushed my hair real quick and changed clothes. I ate our lunch, which is pizza. Mom said something, "How was your shopping, our dear Maine? Why are you smiling like that wide?" Did I just mentioned I like him?!

"Very great, mom. There were no such people at the mall which is quite unbelievable," I said, taking a bite of the pizza. We turned our heads to the one that entered the door, which was crying. Wonder why. I finished my slice of pizza and went to her room to ask what's wrong.

"Louise, tell me, what's wrong? Did Alden dump you?" I hope not.

"Kind of. But I won't stop myself from getting his heart!" Then she cried hardly. "I will make sure that the girl he bumped to will be friendzoned!" Did she.. See us?

"D-did you know th-the girl?" I asked nervously. What will Louise do if she knew that I am the girl Alden bumped into?

"No! And that's the problem! Alden fell for her too much!" Fell?

"What do you mean, fell?" I asked.

"Fell... In love! He even said "I don't like you at all!" That is no good start!" He.. Fell in love with me? Didn't I mention lately that I am in love with him too? Oh no, this is too bad for us, sisters. Someone called at my phone. "Feel more comfortable, sister. Think of what you will do to us. I mean, they! Yeah, they! I gotta answer this call," That was so close!

"Yeah, I feel like that call is important. Go ahead, while I emote here," I smiled at her and shut the door. I went to my room and answered the call. "Hello?"

(Hello? Is this you, Maine?)

"Yeah, you sound familiar. Who are you?"

(It's Alden!)

"Oh, hey!"

(I'm here to ask, what's your school name?)

"Uh, De La Salle Univeristy, how about you?"

(Oh cool! We have the same school!)

"Wow. We didn't even meet at school."

(Yeah. It's nice that I will still see you.)

"Good thing."

(See you tomorrow! My dad is calling me right now! Goodbye!)

"Bye! Nice talking to you, Alden."

(Same to you. Goodbye!) the call ended. I looked at the mirror and caught myself smiling like an idiot. I lied at my bed.

Louise Delos Reyes~

I heard everything! She was the one Alden bumped to! He's in love with her! The bad thing is he is in love with MY SISTER. Why is life really playful? Is the paper Maine handed to Alden her number? So many questions but I can't ask Maine that! I must think of a plan. I called Julie Ann. "Hello, JA?"

(What do you need?)

"I need help."

(About?)

"For a revenge."

Maine Mendoza~

This must be love! I shouted at the bathroom of my room. I was brushing my teeth that time. I wore my pajamas and combed my hair. I looked at myself. I felt nervous. I suddenly remembered Louise. What will she do to me if she have known? I took my face powder and spread it in my face. I'm still nervous, my lips are turning pink (yeah, I have those red rosy lips which is natural) and my face is turning gray. I'm very cold. I inhale-exhaled and thought about it all over and over again. What will she do to me? Will our sistership (not even a word) be broken? Could we ever see each other again? Can I... Live this life longer?

I remembered Louise doing some sort of revenge on her best friend. She asked a gang of boys to kidnap her and they did. The boys burnt her best friend's leg and immediately lost her leg. And the bad thing is, her best friend only talked to Louise's crush. She's very popular at school so every single thing that she says, everyone will do it.

Her best friend's name is Gabbi Garcia. We are now good friends. She even said to me that it's better to die than to be hurt by her best friend. And yep, she has recovered 2 years ago. I received a text message from alden:

Sleep tight! :) -Alden

So I replied with:

See you tomorrow! :) -Maine

Then I slept with a smile.
-------------------------------------------------------
I was awaken by my mom. "Wake up, baby Maine!"

That was surprising. I looked at my alarm clock and it's still 4:35 in the morning. "Too early."

"Someone's waiting for you outside! Rush now!" Does that mean me and my sister are going to school together? I took a bath and wore my uniform. I ate my breakfast (bread and milk) really quickly andbrushed my teeth. I combed and curled my hair and did everything absolutely fastly and went outside. Then I saw a car. Since when did Louise have a car? It opened its windows and I saw Alden.

"Good morning Maine!" He went outside and opened the door for me. I can't believe my eyes. I sat down beside the driver's seat then he closed the door. He went to the driver's seat. He put my seatbelt on which is embarassing. Our faces are very close. He started the car and we took off.

"Why didn't you tell me you would pick me up?" I asked.

"You liked it didn't you?" Alden said, still focused on driving,

"Fine, you got me," then I smiled. He smiled as well. "So tell me, how did you make my parents allow you to pick me up?"

"Do they not on other guys?" Alden asked.

"They don't ever allow them whatever they do."

"Well, maybe, they just like me for you," he smiled. We parked at the school and he was the first to go out. He opened the door for me again and I got out. He closed the door and held my hand and took a walk by the corridor, since it was very early. I tried to get my hand off his but he held it really tight. I had no choice but to hold it back.

"I have already heard your name, and everyone in here said your cold," yeah, my sister also told me he's cold yesterday.

"What do you think?" Alden asked, looking straight in my eyes.

"No, not at all," then I smiled. He pinched my nose and walked through the corridor again.

Louise Delos Reyes~

I have just saw everything. Alden was very sweet to Maine. He opened the door for her and- ugh! This hurts me so much! I cried at our terrace at house. I felt someone sneaking out behind me so I wiped my tears.

"Louise," Mom said, smiling. "Do you also think they're meant for each other? That they look cute together? That they're destined? That they're made for each other? Cause I do!" That hurts more. Mom agrees to their relationship. I can't help but cry.

"Why are you crying, then?" Mom asked. I replied, "Because that guy, Alden, was my ideal boyfriend! I tried to get him for a few minutes but he dumped me! He fell in love with Maine! And the bad thing is why did they met? My sister followed me and they bumped into each other! So they met! Maine really wants to get us away!"

"Maine won't do that," Mom said.

"It's really true!" I cried then got ready for school. I tied my hair to ponytail and went to school. I saw them again, walking through the corridor, looking really happy. Why is Alden cold to me? Why is he not to Maine?they even are holding hands! Why did Maine do this to me?! They sat at a table and Alden ordered a buko juice. It has two straws. As they drank it, their faces were really close. I can't handle this anymore!

Just get ready for my plan, Maine.
