                Day by day, I still found myself so in love with Draco McGuire. I found it hard to move on. So hard most especially that Irina’s in my class. I couldn’t bear it any longer but cry and cry too long.

                “Oh, come on, Katherine. Don’t just cry there all day as if someone’s dead. He’s just a boy. There are more of them. See? Look at Garrett. He’s still in love with you. Why not him?”, Steven told me one day.

                “Steven, why couldn’t you act as Irina’s boyfriend so that Draco will get jealous? I wanted things to go worse for them.” I said.

                “I couldn’t do that, Kath. She’s my friend. And besides, that will do you up to no good.”

                “But what about me, Stev? Should I keep on crying for long just to get him back?”

                “Well, GOD got a lot of plans for you. You just have to work out His plans for you.”

                After that short chat, I couldn’t abide things any longer. I kept seeing my best friend and Draco being together. Oh how it hurts so badly. I wanted things to flow smoothly as if I got no problem and all. I wanted things to be peaceful. How I wished I could apologize to Irina.

                One night… I caught her online then I chatted.

  KATHERINE: I am sorry, Irina L

IRINA: I understand you, Kath.

KATHERINE: I wanted him back.

IRINA: I’ll do every thing just to make you happy.

KATHERINE: I want him back.

IRINA: Well, if that makes you happy, then I’ll break-up with him. I will cut all our connections and I’ll stop seeing him from then on. I’m moving apart so you won’t be hurt.

KATHERINE: I don’t know what’s right.

The day after that, when I went towards the cafeteria, I didn’t see Irina with Draco. It was Draco with his friends, James, Kevin, and Irina’s cousin, Louie. When I dared to pass by their table…

“Hey!”

It was Draco calling me. He pulled her to a vacant table and grasped her arms tightly.

“What did you just tell her last night? Know what she did? She broke-up with me! She left me because of you. And now, we’re done. Happy? But know what? No matter what happens it’s Irina whom I’m going to love and not you!” he said, angrily. He let go of my arms and walked away.

She was embarrassed. She left her tray and ran to the bathroom.

Poor me. Always there crying. Of course, it would be hard for me most especially that I trusted Draco and loved him so dearly. But now, his true colors were obvious. Isn’t it? Then, it’s really painful.

One time, I was enjoying myself and she found out that I admired Jason Meyer so much. I really fancy him but thwe weren’t friends. So, that means I got no chance.

                I was on my way to recovery.

Well, of course, Alistair was always there to comfort me. How I wished I would someday be his. But as of now, I couldn’t express how much I really like him.

                One Saturday afternoon, one of the best things happened to me. I was indeed with my friends, Patrick and Martha at Dale’s Shopping Center having fun with ourselves when…
