BRIAN CHRISTIAN HARVARD

"So...Tell me again what're we doing here?"

Arya, god I love calling her that, was staring at me with those cute little eyes. Her eyebrow was a little furrowed with concentration.

We were currently in front of my own locker. I rummaged around my locker and luckily I found some cap left by Eric some other time, I quickly placed it in Arya's head then patted it which she reacted by pouting.

"What the heck is this for?"

"So that no one will recognize you and we'll have a day for ourselves. Just us and no nuisances."

"But -

I quickly placed my pointer in her soft lips to shush her.

"No buts. A good girlfriend must understand that her boyfriend only wants whats best for her."

At the mention of the word girlfriend i noticed her blush. But then it was only seconds after when she frowned then rummaged against her small backpack then on a split second she made me wore glasses.

"There! If we're going to need to disguise then it should be you for when a moment comes that the people see you with some kind of girl then heck they'll be curious!" She pouted.

Yeah right she has a point.

"Okay Ms.Savier. Point well made now let's go?" I smiled while raising our hand which was handcuffed together. She groaned. I couldn't help but want to annoy her further.

"Ugh!Must you always let me remember that I'm stuck with you today?" She rolled her eyes.

"Oh why? Would you rather be stuck with someone else?"

"Why would I even want to be stuck with you in the first place?" She raised an etebrow at me.

I grinned cockily. "And why don't you want to be stuck with me? You're currently Brian Christian Harvard's girlfriend."

I saw her reddened then she looked away.

"Wh-whateveeerr! Let's go!" One magic word and she held my hand and took me off.

This day's going to be fun I think.

ARYA SAVIER

Brian is acting weird today.

You know that feeling when something is different about you the way a person deals with you but you can't fathom what.

He kept on glancing my way, then he never let's go of my hand. We went sight seeing on the school grounds since its an activity day.

There were again many "love booths" scattered everywhere. When we got tired of sightseeing we decided to sit on the bench.

Then my eyes spotted a mini-store which was selling chocolates.

I quickly pulled Brian much to his surprise.
But when he saw that we were headinv towards a mini-store of Valentines Chocolate he frowned then chuckled saying I was "piggin' out " as usual, which earned him one pinch in the side from me.

"Ow! Fine! If you want a chocolate then pick one."

I gaze at the selection of sweetness. There were many different kinds of chocolates and candies. Chocoballs, strawberries, red velvet, milk chocolate. But one caught my eye. It was a white heart-shaped large chocolate which had a stick on it like it was some kind of lollipop. It had some kind of small lettering on it that reads "I'm yours". It caught my attention since it was the only piece left of it's kind inthe chocolate rack.

I quickly pulled it and showed it to Brian. When he saw it he suddenly laughed.

"Why? What's wrong with this chocolate?"

"Oh nothing really, it's just that I think fate is just playin' some good 'ol joke on us."

At his words his free hand rummaged in his pocket.

"Cause you see, when I happen to be strolling around here somewhere in the morning, I was hungry and bought one, but eventually since the guys abducted me i forgot about it and here it is -

He showed me the exact same replica of the chocolate I picked. The only thing that differs is the words engraved on his chocolate which reads "And I am yours"

I spoke the first thing that came to my mind.

"Couple chocolate!!" Brian and I said at the same time.

I flushed. And so did he. I couldn't help but notice since i was staring at him and he at me.

We were like that until -

"Yeah, yeah right so you were made for each other but that will be a 25 please." The cashier which was probably there watching us for a while said.

"U-uh sorry 'bout that here!" Brian pulled out some cash. Then quickly paid for the chocolate.

The girl cashier seemed to be bored chewing the chewing gum then she caught eye of Brian then that's when she really stared.

"Hey wait - are you the Harvard guy?"

"Err - no thank you!Keep the change!" Brian said quickly then he pulled me out, like we were never there.

++ - ++ - ++ - ++ - ++ -

"Come all of you who want to know their fate! Are you destined for each other? Madam Fate's cards will help you!"

A loud voice was heard in the distance. I observed that a small black tent with seashells hanging on intricate string serves as a doorway.

"Hey! Let's try that." I pointed at the interesting tent. It seems like unnoticed by the others since there was no line of people at the entrance.

"You sure? I think it will be some kind of stupid palm reading or something."

" I don't know why, but ever had that feeling where you know you've seen something before and you're on the same spot? It's like -"

"De ja vu?"

"Yeah, I think I've been there before, even though I knew I've never tried palm reading before."

Brian seemed to be lost in his own thoughts but after awhile he shrugged and said ; "What's there to lose? It's just a game right?"

So we found ourselves entering the tent, the boy advertising outside ushered us inside and we were greeted by the dark.
