“Game!” James shouted as his friends finished talking about their bet on making Yi Shuan fall inlove with him.
“What will be the prize?” He asked.
“Uhm.. Here. If you'll win, you'll take our allowance for a whole month. But if you lose, you will pay us 1000 pesos each.“ Ivan instructed. All of his friends were cheering, hopping Yi Shuan will not fall in love with him.
“ Here's the instruction. This will only last for 5 months. If there will be a chance that she'll fall in love with you, make her more in love. Then after the 3 week of the fifth month, you'll tell her about the bet. Deal? “ said Sam.
“Deal!”
*******************
“ Argh. Can this day get any worst?” Yi Shuan yelled while drying her uniform. Well, she was pushed by the girls. They were so disgusted of her looks, that's why they push her into the mud.
“Common, Yi Shuan. Its good that they just push you. Right?” Yen joked. Fretzie and Yi Shuan laughed at her statement.
“Yeah. Just push. Now . Can you help me to dry this?” Ann giggled.
*********************
Time passed by and they went back to their classroom. Well, not for Yi Shuan. She still have to go to the rooftop. I'll tell you what happened. Hmm?
FLASHBACK------>
Yi Shuan was about to get her books when a note slipped in her locker.
‘Rooftop. Sharp.’
That's the only message that was written there. That's why she went there.
END OF FLASHBACK----->
Yi Shuan was on her way when someone tapped her shoulder. Yi Shuan look at him in surprise. It was Sam.
“ Yes? “ Yi Shuan smiled.
“ I was wondering why are you going there. “ Sam said to her. Yi Shuan just told him the story. Than after knowing what the reason is, Sam left.
Yi Shuan then continued to walk upstairs. When she reached the rooftop, no one was there. She waited for about 5 minutes when someone said, “ Good thing you came. “ She turn her back and saw, JAMES REID.
“ James? You're the one who slipped the message? “ Yi Shuan ask him in disbelief.
“ Who would it be?” James smirked.
“Speak.”
“I just wanna ask you out tomorrow.” James said as he rubbed the back of his neck. Without hesitation Yi Shuan accepted it. Well, who wouldn't accept it? Its JAMES REID people. Only a few girls has ever dated him. And she'll be grateful that she'll be one of those girls.
“Okay. Meet you up tomorrow.” James said as he went down.
********************
“ Yen! “ Sam shouted. Yen immediately turn around knowing that Sam is calling her.
“ Yes? “
“ I just wanna ask you out. I mean not a date. Its just-- Just a friendly-- Freindly date. “ Sam spoke shyly. 'Gosh! I didn't know asking someone out can be this hard,' he thought. Well, everyone's shy when asking someone out right? Well, maybe not for concieted boys. Eh?
“ Ahh. May I ask when? “ Yen asked him.
“ Tomorrow. If its okay to you. “ Sam said.
“ Oh. Sure. But I have to go now. Maybe Yi Shuan is waiting for me. “ Yen said as an alibi. ‘How can you be too handsome? KYAAA~~!! Please don't blush. Please!’ Yen beg in her thought.
“ Sure. Bye. “ Sam said as he smiled while walking away.
*********************
The next day, Yi Shuan prepared. She was wearing a tank top and shorts then a simple flats. That's how simple she is. Just then after doing things in her face, James came in.
“ Yi Shuan! You're friend is here.” Her mom shouted. Yi Shuan was going down. When James saw her, he was like jaw dropping. Who would thought that a simple make-up can change her face? Well, she doesn't wear make up at school. She just wanted to be simple. So yeah.
“ Hello? James? Still there? It seems like you just saw a ghost. Uhm. Yeah. You saw me. “ Yi Shuan bowed down. Then James lifted up her chin he saw her cute pout.
“ Hmm. You're not a ghost you know. Its just you seem different. “ James said while smiling at her. Ann smiled back and said, “Yeah. Everyone said that when I wear simple make-ups. “ Yi Shuan giggled.
“Let's go now. Bye Ma’am.” James bid as he escorted Yi Shuan on the door.
As time goes by, they finally arrived at their destination. While driving, gosh! It was an awkward silence. No one dared to talk nor even just smile. They're that awkward.
“Where are we?” Ann asked him.
“We're in Subic. Sam and Yen are also here. I invited them.” James said as he lead Yi Shuan the way. When the entered they saw Sam and Yen chatting. It was obvious that they are having fun. Yi Shuan immediately sat beside Yen.
“Yi Shuan? Is that you?” Sam asked her. Yi Shuan just smiled.
“ Wow! Your face seems different. “
“ Let's just eat. “ Yi Shuan said as she laugh. Everyone was qiute while eating. No one dared to talk again.
SILENCE.....
SILENCE......
MORE SILENCE.....
“Are you this silent?” Yen asked in frustration.
“Uhm.. Yeah?” Ann chuckled. While Sam and James laughed. The rest of the dinner went well. Talks about life and other stuff. The dinner ended around nine in the evening. James assisted Yi Shuan home as promised. While Sam took Yen home too.
