[Keshia's POV]

*Knock *Knock

"Pasok" ang sagot ko kay Mitch "Ms. Keshia, ready na po ba kayo para sa Grand Ball mamaya?" - Mitch "ha? Grand Ball? ano nanaman ba tong kalokohang ito?" naiinis na talaga ako! parang gusto ko na mag quit!  "Oo, Grand Ball, pagmalapit na kasi ang finals, i mean the day before finals, magheheld ang KNA&A ng Grand Ball, and kaya naamn everyone's gonna have tun before the finals." - Mitch

"SO FINALS NA BUKAS?! parang hindi yata ako mag eenjoy kung malalaman ko lagn palang judgement day na pala bukas."  "you have 80 points left Ms. Keshia, dapat mabawi mo iyong 20 points sa finals!" - Mitch "Akala ko 30 points nalang yung score ko? papanong na 80?" "kasi nga, ganito yun, 30 points yung score mo, plus 50 kung aattend ka ng ball, eh alam ko naman na may mag-iinvite sayo sa ball, kaya makakapunta ka." - Mitch

"Ah? ganun ba? eh wala naman akong dress, i mean gown?" "lahat ng contestants ay may designer every grand ball, nasa kanila na yun kung sasali sila o hindi" - Mitch "Eh papano na yung mga walang nag-invite sa kanila?" "mawawala sila sa KNA&A, they're gonna be eliminated!" - Mitch

Nakakatakot naman pala kung ma eeliminate ka sa KNA&A. Dapat di ako ma eliminate!

[Jarred's POV]

"Mr. Jarred? Mr. Jarred nandito na po ang list ng mga phone number ng mga girl contestants" ang sabi ni Richie sabay abot sa akin ng lists. Hinanap ko agad ang number ni Keshia. "Ayun! nakita ko na!" Pero papano ko ba sasabihin sa kanya? anong sasabihin ko?

"Mr. Jarred, pwede mo naman sabihin sa kanya kung anong gusto mong sabihin eh, bastat hindi lang matagalan, malapit na kasi mag 7 eh, mag sastart na ang ball" - Richie "okay okay, tatawagan ko na si Keshia"

Ano ba tong assistant ko? mind reader ba to?

[Keshia's POV]

"Ano ba yan Mitch bakit wala pang tumatawag sa akin?" not at ease na talaga ako ngayon! akoyo ma eliminate dahil sa wala lang akong partner sa ball!  "be possitive Ms. Keshia.. may tatawag din" maya-maya may tumawag sa akin sa Phone. 

"Hello" "Hi Ms. Mindiola"  "Sino to?"  "hulaan mo" "JULIAN?!' 

"Oo, ako nga. wala ng iba" - Julian "oh bat napatawag ka?" "simple! to ask you out sa ball" - Julian "ikaw? magiging partner ko sa Grand Ball?! NO WAY!" "sige ka, ma eeliminate ka kung di ka papayag" abat kinaya pa akong e threat ng ungoy nato? "eh ma eeliminate karin naman kung di ako papayag di ba?"

"No, maraming girls ang nag-invite sa akin to be their partner, pero i personally called you dahil alam kong you are a better partner than the others" - Julian nakakainig naman tong lalakeng to! "O sige, sige papayag na akong maging partner mo" >_<  *head smoking "yes! sabi ko na papayag ka eh! i'll fetch you this 6:00 okay?""Oo na, sige bye!" ni hang up ko din ang telepono at tinignan ang relo "shaks! 5:35 na! i have to prepare pa!"

JULIAN YOON! YOU'RE REALLY AN IDIOT!

[Jarred's POV]

"Ah, hi Keshia" "Hi partner" "Karen?!" "yes ako nga, wala nang iba, and i'm going to be you're partner tonight" - Karen

WHAT THE BAKIT SIYA ANG SUMAGOT?!

"Hindi maari ito.." "wala kanang magagawa, pinalitan ko lahat ng contact numbers ng list mo, at hindi alam ng assistant mo yun. makinig ka Jarred, pag hindi ka papayag, eh ma eeliminate tayong dalawa, and alam ko naman na hindi ka papayag na ma eeliminate diba?" - Karen

"Bahala na kung ma eeliminate ako bastat hindi ako papayag na ikaw ang magiging partner ko! mag hahang up na ako!" "WAG JARRED! wag! kung hindi ka papayag.. MAGPAPAKAMATAY AKO! at habang buhay mo yang pagsisisihan!" ANO BA TONG GULONG PINASOK KO... 

"Sige. Wala na akong magagawa."

[Keshia's POV]

 "Miss Keshia, nandiyan na si Mr. Julian" - Mitch aba nagpapa impress talaga siya ah? hindi siya late... ;) "Good Evening My Princess... your royal couch is here" - Julian i just smiled at him, aba hindi ko kaya to iniexpect,  ginawa niya akong princess sa grand ball... pero mas natuwa ako sa royal couch niya.. hahaha sports car lang pala ;) bumaba ako sa hagdan at binuksan niya ang pinto ng sasakyan para sa akin.. ang gentleman pala ng ungoy nato!

AT THE GRAND BALL

Pagdating namin sa ball, biglang lumingon si Julian sa akin and asked "shall we dance?" - Julian then the music started.. 

Now Playing: Thousand Years (Part II) - Christina Perri (from "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2" soundtrack) (feat. Steve Kazee)

[Christina Perri:]

The day we met, Frozen I held my breath Right from the start I knew that I'd found a home for my heart... beats fast Colors and promises How to be brave? How can I love when I'm afraid to fall? But watching you stand alone All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow One step closer

"You're really Beatiful right now My Lady" - Julian

OMG OMG! 

Parang sa movie lang ni Richard Gere and Susan Sarandon!!! inabot ko ang kamay ko sa palad niya and he lead me to the dance floor, my goodness!  i can't express my feelings! 

[Chorus:]

I have died everyday waiting for you Darling don't be afraid I have loved you For a thousand years I'll love you for a thousand more

[Steve Kazee:]

Time stands still Beauty in all she is I will be brave I will not let anything take away What's standing in front of me Every breath Every hour has come to this 

[Christina Perri & Steve Kazee:]

One step closer

[Chorus:]

I have died everyday waiting for you  Darling don't be afraid I have loved you For a thousand years I'll love you for a thousand more And all along I believed I would find you Time has brought your heart to me I have loved you for a thousand years I'll love you for a thousand more... I'll love you for a thousand more... 

One step closer

[Chorus: Christina Perri]

I have died everyday waiting for you Darling don't be afraid I have loved you For a thousand years I'll love you for a thousand more 

[Christina Perri & Steve Kazee:]

And all along I believed I would find you Time has brought your heart to me I have loved you for a thousand years I'll love you for a thousand more this is the best grand ball ever!

[Jarred's POV]

I love to back out, i really like to back out pero baka she'll go and commit suicide.. hindi ako careless. "what the heck are you doing Jarred? bakit hindi mo ako sinundo sa hotel? i've waited for you for hours!" sige say what you have to say, i won't bother listening.. nandito lang naman ako dahil pinilit mo ako eh.. eh kung hindi ka magpapakamatay, hindi naman talaga ikaw ang magiging partner ko! umupo ako sa isang bar chair at nakatingin sa ibang mga babae "hoy Jarred nakikinig kaba sa akin? ui I said I'm sorry okay? sorry na Jarred, pansinin mo na ako please" - Karen

How i wish si Keshia ang kasama ko ngayon di ikaw! as i looked each of the people's faces sa  ball, i saw Keshia, and she's she's dancing happily with someone, i haven't seen before... and what's hurting me is He's Kissing Her right now...
