Normal POV

Elizabeth was currently watching a movie with her sisters, Margarett and Veronica. This was the only time that these three were gonna do something together. Elizabeth thought that it's better to make memories now and preserve them.

Elizabeth's phone rang. It was Elaina calling. "Nee-san......Elaina is calling...."

"I bet she's gonna tell us how awesome her date is..." Veronica said. She had always favored Elaina and Brandon. Ever since Elaina told them about her crush over Brandon since freshmen year.

"what are you waiting for Elizabeth? Answer it..." says Margarett. And she did.

"Moshi Moshi?" all Elizabeth heard was silence. No one answered yet.

"Eli..." Elaina was crying...

"wait..Elaina..what's happening?" Elizabeth was worried.

"please come over here......" Elaina started to sob then cried again.

"h..hold on...where are you?" Elizabeth stood up and took her bag with her.

"our....our usual h..hang out...." was all Elaina said.

"I'll be right over there..." Elizabeth's rush confused Margarett and Veronica.

"Elizabeth, where are you going so late?" Margarett asked before Elizabeth opened the door.

"I can't explain right now,.....Elaina needs me." Was all Elizabeth said before shutting the door. She ran as fast as she can to Leonez High School. Yes, she was meeting Elaina at school. You see, the garden located at the back of the school has a secret garden, much more, a secret gate. It was covered in leaves and vines, it was old and rusty and a great entrance to the school.

Elaina and Elizabeth's favorite hang out is the school garden. They'd go there all the time when they just want to relax. The only people who knew about it was Elizabeth, Elaina and Jersey. Just those three and no one else. If ever Elaina decides to walk away from Harley's nagging, she'd always go there. It's the one place that Harley would never find her.

Normal POV

Before the Phone Call.....

Elaina and Ban had finished dinner and were currently chatting in the restaurant. For Brandon's choice of restaurant was a kiddy style food house. The place was called 'CHAPTERS BOOK CAFE'. This restaurant / cafe was inspired by the movie, THE LITTLE PRINCE. Why he chosed this place? It's because Elaina loves it. She may be a teen but she is a kid of heart.

(A/N: Chapters Book Cafe actually exists here in my hometown. The place is like a fairytale getaway. When you're there, it's like you're inside your in a story book. Think of it as another Alice in Wonderland world. I saw THE LITTLE PRINCE movie. So inspirational ^_^)

The whole restaurant defines Elaina. The number of books impaled on the ceilings, the upside-down chairs and tables hanging above them, all the book of different genres arranged perfectly in the book shelves, the flowers, figurines, candies and biscuits displayed everywhere, and Elaina's favorite, the walls were all painted with The Little Prince's journeys...with his rose.

This definitely a bookworm cafe. Brandon saw how Elaina's face would lit up at seeing these items. He smiled at the accomplishment he had made. Elaina was HIS ROSE. Just like how the Little Prince treasured his rose.

"Brandon, thank you for bringing me here, I had fun." Elaina blushed. She was beyond happy. Brandon didn't show any facial expressions but deep down, he was smiling and feeling the affection...but not showing it. Elaina adapted to his emotionless ways. She knows him very much.
