ANTON LOUISE

I ruffled my wet hair. It was too early and the rain was pouring outside. I walked towards my wardrobe to pick up some clothes to warm me up when the phone near my bed started ringing.

I quickly picked it up since it might be one of my girls.

"Hello -

"What took you so long?!" A high pitch voice greeted me in the other line. Yep, it probably belong to a female but not my kind of female. I'm not even sure it's a woman I'm talking too. I rolled my eyes.

"Who's this?" I joked. Even if I knew who was on the other line.

"It's Cristie you idiot!" She retorted.

"Hey! I'm still older than you young lady! Show some respect!" I frowned. Is she really a kid? Brian's sister got it nuts.

"Whatever! So how did the plan go?"

"Well...Arya came to the basketball game, but I'm not sure if your shy brother finally managed to get together with Arya." I shrugged. Thinking that Brian was hopeless as ever.

"Ugh! Big brother is so slow. We've got to take it to the next level!"

I raised my eyebrows with confusion. Even if I know she couldn't see me. "What do you mean kid?"

"Do you know what month it is now?" She replied with another question, great.

"Uh...February?"

"And? What happens in February?"

"A...Prom Night?"

"It's Valentines! Stupid! And did you forgot that there is a celebration in the school when valentines happens?!"

"Oh, right! So what do we do?"

"Ok here's the plan."

I leaned in just a little bit closer to hear her words and I couldn't help but smile.

BRIAN CHRISTIAN HARVARD

Another February 14

Ugh! Who the heck invented Valentines anyway? Such a pain in the neck.

Its this time of the year where I usually expect the accidents coming, weird presents delivered in my locker and stuff.

But I got to admit, I was kind of looking forward to Valentines this year probably because of -

I couldn't help but face-slap, remembering my blunder last time.

"Oh good going Brian, nice of you to expect some chocolate when you're relationship is almost as close to platonic!" I said quite sarcastically to myself.

"Hey Bri!What you mumbling about?" Jao asked curiously as he reached the adjacent locker next to mine.

"Oh nothing Jao just - " I didn't manage to say anything more because just as I opened my locker,boxes which probably contain either weird gifts or chocolates came out.

Jao stared at them hungrily.

"Err- You want some?You could have it all if you like or you could share it to the guys -

"THANKS BRI!ITS MY FIRST TIME RECEIVING VALENTINES CHOCOLATE!" Jao didn't even let me finish.He took everything and ran away. I shrugged. I don't care about the other girls' chocolates anyway.

I want only one. And that must come from -

"Hey Bri so you're here!" Eric popped out from nowhere. What's with people not wanting me to finish my sentences anyway?

"Where the heck are we going man?" I asked Eric as he started walking towards an isolated part of the college building.

"Well...You'll see."

"So what the heck did you dragged me here for anyway?"

Prince asked for the enth time already.

We were currently on the Home economics room.

"I told you I need your help with something." I rolled my eyes since he stared at me suspiciously.

"And what's that?" He peeked at the goods I'm currently  taking out of the grocery bag.

"This my friend...Is what I need your help for." I smiled as I took out the ingredients to make the perfect valentines chocolate.

"What the heck are you doing?That looks more like a pudding!"

"Is that even edible????Whoever's eating th-hat whatever, will surely die!"

"TURN IT OFF!TURN IT OFF!YOU'LL DESTROY THE BUILDING!!!!"

I took a deep breath. After such long and encouraging words from Prince, we finally manage to bake my...uh..chocolate?

I wrapped it in the best fashion I could but Prince gave me a tired look and he raised his hands in the air with defeat.

"Ugh!You really can't do anything by yourself could you? Let me do this!" He took away the ribbons and wrappers from my hand and in an instant wrapped the chocolate properly.

"Seriously, I wonder if you're really the girl here?" Prince raised his eyebrow at me but I ignored him all the same.

I admit, almost 50% of the work was done by him, but that's only because I really sucked at the kitchen.

"So who is this chocolate for?I'm going to put the dedication because I'm sure you suck on this one too."

"Err- Let me do that for you." I quickly got the pen and the card. I don't want to let him know who's the chocolate for since he'll be mad once he knew.

I started writing with my back on Prince for him to not see but to my surprise he quickly grabbed the card but I was also quick to reach out for it.

"For B-

"Give that to me!" I cried out and when I reached out I accidentally stumbled down, we, stumbled down. Me on top of Prince.

I don't know why but Prince was staring at me instead of the paper so I quickly took the opportunity and grabbed thd card as fast as I can.

"Gotcha!"

"Oh no!Are we disturbing you perhaps?"

Prince and I quickly stared at the doorway and my eyes widened.

It was non-other than-

"Are you okay?....Princess?"

I looked up to see Anton's hands offering me his hand.

Darn. What the heck is going on?
