Scynthia's PoV

I pulled away from the kiss but our foreheads were still touching. I could feel his minty breath fanning my face as he breaths. I stared into his eyes when he said. "I love you Scynthia." Biglabg sabi ni Nash.

I just stared at him when suddenly before I could stop it words blurted out of my mouth. "I love you too Nash." His eyes widened at what I said.

You ass! Why did you say that!? That was suposed to be a fucking secret!

Silence enveloped us as we stayed in that position, no one dared to move nor speak until. "Oh my gosh!" Biglang sigaw ng nilalang sa likod ko, agad ako napahiwala kay Nash at humarap sa sumigaw.

"Kilig much! Scynthia and Charles! CharlScyn!" Tili ni January habang si Kendal naman tinititigan lang kami. "Shut up January." I said rolling my eyes.

"Kiss under the mistle toe! Nakakakilig!" Tili ni January. "Shut it January." Sabi ni Kendal.

"Okay, okay." January surendered.

Lumapit yung dalawa saamin habang kami yung nagbacking. Ngumiti ako ng tagumpay. "Pano na yan January at Kendal?" Sabi ko. "Why?" Tanong ni January.

"You guys are undee the mistle toe." Sa sinabi ko saka lang napansin nung dalawa na hindi na kami yung nandoon. "Kendal, halikan mo na yan." Sabi ni Charles.

Without any warning Kendal smacked his lips on January's lips, nanlaki yung mga mata namin even January's, paghiwalay nila hindi parin maprocess ni January yung nangyari, she just stud there with wide eyes and parted lips.

"Biglaan?" Sabi ko. "What? Sabi ni Nash eh kaya ginawa ko agad." Sabi ni Kendal.

"January? You okay?" Tanong ko, she nodded then left the three of us standing there. "Kung pumasok na tayo." Sabi ni Kendal sabay takbo paalis.

Agad ako inakbayan ni Nash, I elbowed his stomach. "Just because I kissed you doesn't mean you can touch me." Sabi ko. "Why? You already said I love you too." Sabi niya na may ngiting tagumpay.

"I didn't know I said that okay." Sabi ko. "You can say anything but you can't change the fact that you said it already." Sabi niya.

"Isa pa papatayin na kita." I threatened. "Okay, okay, I'll stop." Sabi niya.

We walked in and saw January cooking with our parents while Kendal was arranging the gifts under the Christmas tree. Nash excused himself to help January and I let him, while I made mt way to Kendal.

"Hey Kendal." Sabi ko. "Don't come near me you boyfriend might kill me." He said jokingly.

"Baliw! Hindi ko siya boyfriend." Sabi ko. "Whatever." He said rolling his eyes.

"Kenny Boo." I said in a sweet voice. "What do you nees now?" Tanong niya.

"Nothing." I said with a smile.

*****

"Three!" Sabay sabay namin na sigaw. "Two!" I didn't scream with them because of what I saw. "One! Merry Christmas!" Sigaw nila pero mukhang nakita rin ni Nash.

"Nash, did you see what I see?" Bulong ko. "I did." Bulog niya.

That was pretty weird actually, there was a guy wearing all black and had a black hoodie and a white full face mask. "Do you think we should go out and check it out?" Bulong ko. "I think we should." Bulong saakin ni Nash.

I gave January and Kendal a meaningful look then nodded to the direction of the door. "Uhm, can we go out and watch the fireworks." Pagpapaalam ni Kendal.

There were fireworks ever tho it's still not new year.

"Okay sura, magingat kayo sa labas ah." Sabi ni mommy. "Yes mom." Sabi ko.

Agad kami nagsilabasan and there we saw the guy he was facing us then suddenly turned his back on us and left. "Let's go after him." Sabi ni January. "No, that's a wrong move... he might have a bunch of guys waiting for us and beat us up." Sabi ni Kendal.

"Maybe, let's just ignore it." Sabi ni Nash. "I don't know guys, I have a feeling like we should follow him." Sabi ko.

"Then let's go." Sabi ni January. "Should we like put our masks on?" Tanong ni Kendal.

"Yeah... I think so." Sabi ko.

We went to our stuff, changed our clothes then put our masks on. The mask I wore was the Phoenix one, I didn't wear my hood.

We were walking to the direction where the guy left then he was just sitting by his car all alone. "Looks like he's waiting for someone." Bulong ni January. "No shit, I bet he's waiting for us." Bulong ko.

"He looks weird actually, what's up with that guy?" Tanong ni Kendal. "He looks familliar to me." Bulong ni Nash.

"Come to think of it, he is familliar to me too." Bulong ko, I started walking towards him. "What are you doing?" Bulong ni Nash.

"Just wait." Bulong ko. "Get back here." Bulong ni January.

I was already near the guy. "I thought you would never come." He said while removing his mask. "Dexter? What are you doing here?" Tanong ko sabay tanggal ng mask ko.

"I wanted to talk to you." Sabi niya. "And you had to wear this?" I gestured to his attire and mask.

"I just thought that if you see me like this you'll think that I'm an enemy then you'll follow." Sabi niya. "You could have just walked up to my door and knocked." Sabi ko.

"Sorry." Sabi niya. "Whatever, what do you want to talk about?" Tanong ko.

"Us... are you just going to do that to us?" Sabi niya. "Dexter, I don't love you anymore okay? Why can't you accept that?" Tanong ko.

"Why do you not love me anymore?" Tanong niya. "I got tired of us, you're plain and boring." I said and I turned by back on him and started walking back to the gang.

The guys just followed me going back to our house... Hindi ko alam kung nagmamalik mata lang ako but I sware I saw a guy comming from our house and walking away. Agad ko sinuot yung mask ko at hinabol yung lalake.

And I was right he came from our house, because it was my dad going to his car... natigilan ako dahil doon. This is the final straw! I can't stand this anymore.

Agad ako sumakay sa kotse ko, luckily my keys were inmy pockets. "Rose, saan ka pupunta!?" Sigaw ni January.

I ignored it and drove off following my father's car. It was actually a long drive until we reached a restaurant, I saw my dad go to a table with a woman and kissed her... not just a woman, it was the woman I saw before in the park...

I can't take this anymore! Agad ako pumasok ng restaurant, I was stopped to ask if I researved a table the only think I said is. "I came with my dad." Sa sinabi ko agad na ako pumasok at pumunta sa table nila.

"Hey my dear father." I said with my arms crossed, dad's eyes widened when it landed on me. "Scynthia!" Sabi ni dad.

"What? Shocked that I caught you and your misstress." Sabi ko. "Scynthia." Tumayo na siya.

Humarap ako sa babae. "And you! Alam mo na may asawa yung dad ko tas ganito yung gagawin niyo! I saw you guys a lot of times now! Pinagbigyan ko lang kayo but this! Is so out of the bound!" Sigaw ko then I stormed off, agad ako pumasok sa kotse ko I wore my mask and hood at umalis.

I need to kill someone...
