Chapter 24: Date with the cool guy (Part 2) (New Version)

ICE.

His voice echoed in the library. He removed his hand out of my sight. Inis ko siyang hinampas sa balikat niya."I hate you." I leered.

"Soon, you'll never hate me." He smiled.

I curiously looked at him, waiting for another word he might say. Nang mapansin kong hindi naka-tingin sa 'kin si Rave ay lumingon ako upang tingnan din 'yon. He walked to the direction of the Science Lab's pieces of equipment. "Do you watch iBilib?" he asked.

"Ah, yes." I lied. Malay ko ba kung ano 'yon.

"Experiment Time!" He even changed his voice into high-pitch.

I just rolled my eyes. At habang busy siya sa pangingielam do'n ay kinuha ko ang bag ko't palihim na binalot sa extra t-shirt ko ang Everlasting Potion. Inayos ko naman ang paglalagay niyon upang hindi maipit ang Bluebell Flower.

After that, I went to Rave's direction together with my bag. I noticed that he was really doing something. In the test tube rack, five test tubes were containing red, blue, green, yellow, and violet. The other container contains a cube of dry ice. He switches on the bunsen burner and put the Erlenmeyer flask on top of it.

First, he put the red and yellow liquids on the flask and stirred it with a glass stir rod. It became orange. And slowly put the cube of dry ice using a crucible tong. And then, I was caught off guard when he put the other three colors. The mixture began to boil while releasing smoke as he stirs it.

The mixture became a transparent crystal.

"How did it became solid?" I asked.

He mockingly tapped his temple, "Brain blast," Jimmy Neutron?

He covered his finish product with a piece of paper. Nagtatakha akong tumingin sa kanya nang ilahad niya ang kanyang kamay na parang may hinihingi siya. "What?" I asked.

"Bag,"

"Ayok—" He used his freaking height to snatch my bag and put his little experiment inside.

"Let me treat you like a princess today," Rave said. He glances at his watch and smiled. "Let's go, princess."

"I am really a princess," I joked.

He smirked, "I already know that," and pulled me out of the library.

"What?"

"What?"

"Anong sabi mo?" I asked.

"Every girl is treated like a princess. What's new?"

We arrived at a café theme booth. "Good Afternoon, Mademoiselle, Monsieur." a woman greeted us. She was looking at Rave with admiration.

"Table for two please," Rave mumbled.

The woman raised her brows and her eyes landed to Rave's hand who was holding my wrist. She was giving me a dirty look. And when she heard Rave's groaned, she came back to reality and called one of her classmates.

A guy leads the way to our table. It was a simple French-style cafe with simple beige walls, a big chandelier was in the middle of the room. The table was decorated with candles and roses. Cheezy. The seats were also comfortable because of the red cushion.

Rave and Sky were really the opposite of each other.

Rave even with his emerald eyes still looks dull. And whenever he laughs or smiles, it seems fake. Well, he smiles genuinely when he watches Gnome and Juliet.
