The Forbidden Love

Double-Date

Bea Rodriguez

I woke up at 5:00 a.m. in the morning. I couldn't wait to meet up with Carl and Tisha...not Jake.

I picked out my best dress and prettified myself for 4 hours. We were going to meet up at 10. I went to the place we decided to meet up at. I saw Tisha. Hmmm. She was TOO excited.

When everyone was there, we went to the fourth floor where the cinema area was. As I looked at the movies showing,I noticed that all of them were horror movies so we chose the scariest one.

When the movie started, I couldn't help but laugh at Jake who screamed his butt off. I wasn't scared at all.

After, we decided to go window shopping. I saw Carl whisper Jake something. I felt suspicious but didn't say anything. Tisha was there clinging on Jake as she planned. There was an awkward silence among us. Finally, Carl spoke up.

" Why don't we split into two? Isn't it better, so that we will get to know each other more?"

Everyone agreed but we didn't know who our partners would be. We decided to play rock,paper,scissors. The one who wins would get to partner up with me while the one who loses would be the one to partner up with Tisha. I thought they were planning on something because Carl suddenly made hand signs to Jake which I clearly didn't understand.

Jake ended up with me and Carl with Tisha. Tisha and I were both disappointed but the feeling wasn't mutual with Jake and Carl. They seemed REEEALLY happy with their partners.

Jake suggested that we go to a shop where I really love to go to.I picked Forever 21 , my forever favorite shop.

I checked out the latest shoes while Jake just kept following me like a puppy. I saw the perfect pair of shoes and decided to fit it on. My mind told me to buy it but when I saw the price.... my jaw dropped.

"Where do you find a pair of shoes that costs 350,000 Php?"

I put it back to where I saw it with a pout. Then, we immediately left the store.

"I'm hungry" I said.

"Where do you want to eat?" Jake asked.

"Hmmmm.... THE BADA!!!"

"What's Bada?"

"I don't know but I know that it's a Korean restaurant." I said with a shrug.

"Okay. Where's that?" he asked.

"Oh. On the third floor."

We arrived at The Bada and I found and empty table and I immediately claimed it before anyone else could.

We ordered tteokbeokki, samgyeopsal, samgyetang,jajjangmyun and kimchi. I ate like a person who hasn't eaten for five years while Jake ate slowly. He said the food was too spicy.

After we ate, we met up at the parking lot and I saw Carl and Tisha laughing together. To be honest, I was kind of jealous. 

Carl suggested that he would drive Tisha home and Jake would drive me. I rejected his offer but Tisha asked me to accept it and I can't say no to my bestfriend. But... I thought Tisha liked Jake and not Carl. Don't tell me..... Oh no!

Does Tisha like Carl? This can't be.
