This chapter is dedicated to Joey, Cassie, Crystal, Siti and Barney on helping me out picking a name for the female characters.

Juliette. 17. Marian. Brunette. Cute. Quite fair. Enjoys romantic movies and novels. Loveable. Charming. Interesting. Her hair has this sweet lavender scent which you can smell from a mile away. She's a bit short I must say but yeah, no one's perfect no?

We started getting along, we talked a lot with each other with each passing day, and exchanged numbers and Facebook accounts. We hang out a lot but only as friends. I wish it was more. She is like the only person I wanted to talk to. Her English was fluent. Something from heaven that I really appreciate for having in this little city.

Drew was teasing me for saying that I like her in front of her. He's just being an ass as always. Not that I care of. As long as she's happy and so on. I won't mind. I guess this time I'll let it pass. Just for the sake of making her happy. Again that giggle. Perfect.

It was the middle of April where I wanted to tell her that I wanted to be her boyfriend. So as we were texting, I opened up a topic about relationships and all. In that particular moment, I gathered the courage of wanting to propose. "Hey I wanna ask. Do you like, have a crush on anyone? Amongst us?" I said. She replied, "Umm, promise not to tell anyone?" "Promise." I was getting excited. "Well, ummm. Can you hold on for a minute? I'll be back." Okay. That was unexpected but still I'm excited. I was having a chelsea grin moment. Then a text replied. "Emman! I swear today is the happiest day of my life! I asked my crush if he likes me and he said yes! And he had always wanted to be with me! Ain't that the sweetest?! :3"

And just like that, time stopped. I was biting my lips. Grasping my phone. My heart rate just went off normal. Hopes of mine crushed. "Aww. Yerr! Who is the lucky guy?! :D," as I replied acting all happy and shit. And the name I least expect came out on my screen. "Who else?! DREW!" Oh wow, I must be like destined to be freaking forever alone. I literally didn't reply that text. I put my phone on the coffee table and rode my bicycle to an unknown destination. Wind running through my hair. I was cycling as fast as I can. I feel like escaping. Without realizing it, tears rolled down. I never knew a girl can make me feel this way. I came home hours later, when my sadness is subsided with fatigue. I grabbed my phone, not bothering to take a look at it. Took a long, cold shower, and on with my sweatpants and my Storm hoodie. The bed feels so comfortable. I was fast asleep and didn't dream of anything. Nothing at all.
