The Man I Never Thought I'll Fall To

Chapter Thirteen, Part One

The song echoed in the halls.

Priscilla, Flora and all the other girls watched as Nathan and Will performs.

Nathan looked directly to the eyes of that one GIRL. To whom he's ready to admit his feelings to. The GIRL he's longing to have. The person he's dedicating the song to.

**And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming

Or the moment of truth in your lies

When everything seems like the movies

Yeah you bleed just to know you're alive**

It is her favorite song.

Yanna walked slowly to not get any attention. She stopped near the door, a little far from where Nathan, Will and the audience were.

As he sang, millions of flashbacks flooded her mind. The first time they saw each other, the first time they started to fight and the first time they knew that maybe there is something more.

But they cannot be together.

"A lot of firsts. And that's all there is. Just firsts." Yanna said as she walks away from him.

She wants to tell him what she really feels that's why she went back to the school. She wants to tell him that maybe there is a chance before they go on their separate ways after graduation.

She finally admitted defeat.

"The man I never thought I'll fall to."

The sound of the guitar keeps on reminding her how stupid she is to like somebody that will never like her back.

She turned her head to take a glimpse of him one last time before she finally accepts that there is someone else inside of his heart. And the sad truth is, she's not that girl.

"It is always like this. I love someone, they don't love me back."

Their eyes met for a second. Her heart skipped a beat. As she looked into his eyes, she saw the girl who is longing for someone. A girl that will never have a chance.

Her reflection through his eyes.

Emotions filled the entire room and they all felt uncomfortable all of a sudden.

"I wish I am numb. I can't stand seeing my friends like this. Hurting themselves." Will thought to himself.

Month of February is the most awaited time of the year. It is their JS Promenade and everyone is buzzing about who will dance with whom.

All the girls were so excited to know who will ask them to be their last dance.

As of Yanna, it is the saddest part of her life. She already knew that no one will ever want to dance with her.

But what chilled her bones is the last dance.

"This is always my problem. I have trouble asking people when it comes to this. I am too shy." Yanna said to Chey. "I guess I can't come."

"Hey! Cheer up. Let me help you about that." Chey told her.

"Wait, so this means... we're okay?" Yanna said full of hope.

Chey shrugged her shoulders and continue talking "Let's see... Who do you want to be your First and Last?"

"I don't know. I will be fine whoever it is."

Chey left the room holding Yanna's invitation to ask who wants to dance with her. Each student are obliged to attend the party. That's why all of them has his/her invitation. It includes their names, the Prom King and Queen, the Cotillion and 18 Carnet Songs. It will be held at Manila Hotel on February 24.
