Beep... Beep... Beep...

I groaned.

Click!

Beep... Beep... Beep...

"What?" I murmured as I tried to sit. I opened my eyes to see myself half naked and in Mr. Steven's basement/lab.

Click!

I looked down at my chest only to see both thick and thin wires connecting from the complicated machines to my heart.

"Great..." I grumbled and took them off one by one until all that is left is the hole in my chest which resides my heart...

My mechanical heart.

It whirred. Buzzed.

I looked at the table besides the bed I was on and saw the "cap" that covers the hole. It was made specially to hide it. It's made out of skin-like plastic that would make you think that the hole and my mechanical heart isn't there.

I placed it on top and heard it hiss. I sighed and instead of leaving the basement, I lied down on the bed for a while, staring at the ceiling.

'What happened?' I thought. And then I remembered,

"Dennise!"

"She went home already..."

"Amy?" I sat up and saw her leaning on the door frame.

"She freaked out you know. Seeing your nose bleeding like waterfalls." Amy said.

"Shit..." I swore.

"Don't worry, she doesn't know yet." Amy chuckled. "What happened?"

"I... I don't know." I shook my head trying to remember what I did wrong. "My chest just... Clicked when me and Den were having fun."

Click!

There it goes again.

I gave her a "see?" look and she came near me.

"Did you two do something?" Amy asked seriously.

"Well... We talked..." Then a flash. I saw myself and Den, our faces, noses... Lips... Very near. I shook my head.

Click!

"Ly..." Amy looked at me warningly.

"Okay! Fine! Why is it a big deal? Eh kayo ni Ella? May ginawa kayo?" I changed the topic. Sana makalusot... Crossed fingers.

Amy's face turned dreamy and her smile could tear her face. "It was great! We went to a perya kanina and... Wait." Amy stopped.

Great.

She noticed.

"Don't change the topic, Alyssa!" Amy shouted.

I groaned.

"Alyssa Caymo Valdez!" Amy, with a threat.

"You forgot the dash-Ahomiro." I added.

"Fuck that!" Amy shouted.

"Ow... You don't accept me as your brother?" I dramatically frowned. "I'm hurt."

She raised an eyebrow at me.

Uh oh... She's mad.

"Fine! We..."

Almost kissed.
