"Trinna, go and help Alicia dress up. Bea and Lea, do her hair and make up. Make sure she looks like a princess okay?" I said to them. They ushered Alicia out of the shooting area which leaves me, Drew, and Sandra who's holding the video camera.

We already finished shooting the first music video ages ago. I still haven't edited it though. Currently, we're about to finish 'Need you now.'

"Drew,  enter the clearing, touch that tree," I said while pointing to the mahogany tree on the left," look up towards the imaginary balcony where your one true love waits...walk forward, past the camera. Get it?" He better do this right. Its as easy as one, two and three.

"Sure." he said as he runs towards edge of the clearing. I signal to Sandra. This better be good.

Drew walks the clearing. Good. He touches the tree. Going great. He looks up...then laughs.

"CUT!"  I shouted. "Drew, you idiot. You're not supposed to laugh!"

"Sorry, sorry, sorry. I just can't imagine myself...oh, never mind."

"Just...do it, okay?" I said, trying to control my temper.

Sandra looks at me then she said, "One, two, three...Shoot!"

Idiot enters the clearing...then he topples over, laughing.

"You moron!" I gave him an irritated look. "Please! Just let us get one good shot of you and this will be over."

"I solemnly swear that I will do my very best." he said, grinning crazily. He looked at me and that's when I noticed how perfect his sparkling cerulean blue eyes are. It's quite...perplexing. The way his eyes seems to glimmer whenever the sun is around...I - I've never seen it before.

"Mitchelle! Down to Earth please?" Sandra said.

"Wait..ah..what?" Oh God, did I just ...

"If I don't no better, I would've said your inlove with Drew. Just look at how you two gaze at each other..." She trails off, looking at Drew. His eyebrows bent in confusion as he looks at me...differently. I found myself giving him a smile.

"And we're back!" I hear a voice say as I force...force?

"Ah, yes. so we're gonna do the part wherein Taylor Swift runs down the stairs towards her...waiting...prince." I said.

Alicia positions her self towards the balcony. We start filming. Alicia steps down the balcony, run towards Drew. They hold hands and...lovingly stare at each other as the song finishes. Everybody claps their hand...but I kept eyes at them. I feel a sharp pang of...Oh God, I don't even want to name it. No, no! I won't...not again. I shook the very thought away from my head as I make my hands clap. Deep breathes. Smile.

"Cut! Guys, we did it! We fnished shooting!" I said happily. " I know everyone is tired and hungry. Well, let's go to Grey's restaurant for dinner...my treat." I finished off with a smile. My cast and crew cheered. Mind you, I don't usually at Grey's on Saturdays because of...some reasons.

After half an hour, we are all packed up and ready to go. Our group have two cars, Bea's honda jazz and Drew's Honda HR-V. I was walking towards Bea's car to take the last vacant seat when suddenly I noticed Drew with those questioning cerulean blue eyes zeroed on me...as if asking for me to go to his car instead. This left me puzzled and confused. Oh my God...Nick. He takes the last vacant seat in the jazz which leaves me to...argh. Blame me for getting mystified by those eyes. Drew laughs nonchalantly then tries to cover it as a cough. The jazz leaves first.

"So what's the seating arrangement?" Drew asks.

"Me, Sandra and Trinna will be seating at the back since we really need to talk about our Science Project...if that's fine with you, Mitch...to seat upfront with Drew." Alicia speaks. Yeah. This is turning out so great. Yeah right.

"Yes, it's fine." I put on my best smile. I opened my door, seat down then belt myself in.

 We drove towards Grey's quietly. Well, for me and Drew's case that is. The trio kept blabbering. Being quiet is so unlike me. I'm usually the one to talk and give life to a party. I decided to break the awful silence between me and Drew.

"Hey do you mind if I ..." I said while pointing towards a small book. Drew nods his head while keeping his eyes on the road. We're nearly there I guess.

The book turned out to be an album full of pictures. Cute dogs...stunning landscapes and the likes.

"I never knew that you like photography..." I said as turned to the last page of the allbum. Oh.... very shocking.

"Ah, yeah. Favorite past time when I'm not with my guitar." He said as we pulled up. "Shocking isn't it?"

The trio went out of the car, still talking.

"Yes...very shocking." I show him the picture I found on the last page of his album then I laugh and quickly get out of the car. The picture shows him only younger...around 7 or 8... wearing barbie shorts. He was very fat and totally shocking. Why is he wearing Barbie?!

"Hey guys look at this!" I shouted. I was running towards our cast and crew waiting outside Grey's when suddenly Drew grabs my waist. I turned and then...Oh God.

His face...only inches from mine.
