Backfired

Become Closer

     Later  that  evening,  Selena  decided  to spend  the  night  at  our  house.  Hanna  and  Selena  told  us  what  happened  that evening  while  we  all  were  having  dinner. We were laughing the whole time hearing their story and mostly when they talked about Bill.

"Don't  laugh  you  guys.  We're  serious  right  now.  He  is  so  handsome  and  his  eyes  are  very  cute!" Selena  said  loudly  with a  mouthful  of  pasta.

"Geez, Lena!  Finish  your  food  first,  please.  The  pasta  are  all  over  the place," Hanna  scolded  Selena  because  her   shirt  is dirty  now.

"Hahaha,  it's  okay  honey .  You  can  clean  it  up  later," mom  giggled  at  Hanna  while  finishing   her  food.

"Mom....!  Please don't  back  up  her,"

The  dinner  went  on  without  any  issues.
We  all  did  not  thought  of  something  bad at  that  time  by  looking  at  their expression.  But  little  that  I  knew something  big  would  happen  soon.  Just  very,  very  soon.

    Around  10 p.m.,  Hanna  and  Selena went  to  Hanna's  room  for  getting  ready  to  sleep.  While  tidying  up  the  room, they had  a  small  chat  about  the  earlier incident.

"Hey Han, do you think Bill is cute?"

"Well, I can't say not about that right? Hahahah,"

"Yeah you are right. If you say no I might kill you,"

"So  you  don't  wanna  befriend  me  anymore?  Fine," Hanna  sulked  while  making  cute  eyes.

"Chill Han,  I'm  just  kidding.  You  know  I  won't  do  that,  right?  You  my  BFFFFF!"

"I  know  I  know  Lena.  Just  stop  with  the  F  for  now.  Just  like  you  said,  he  is  not  like  any guys  around  here.  Even  John  can't  beat Bill's  cute  eyes,"

"RIGHT?!! I  ju-"

"Shhh,  keep  quiet  you  idiot. My  mom  will  wake  up  if  you  continue  to  be  loud like  that,"

"Sorry,  my  bad.  I  just  can't  control  it,"

"Lena,"

"Yeah,  Han,"

"You  still  remember  our  promises right? The  3-sided  ones,"

"Yeah,  I  remember  it  sweety."

"Wanna  do  it  today?"

"Alright.  There's  nothing  wrong  if  we  do  it,  right?"

     Hanna  and  Selena  stand  in  the  middle  of  the  room  with  candles  in  both  of  their  right  hands  while  their  left  hands were holding  the  other  ones.

"The  Triangle.  Become  friend  until  the world ends, no secrets,  no falling in love until we graduate.  If  the  seal  is  broken,  catastrophe  awaits,"  they  chanted  the  promises  three  times  like  they  always  did.  The  surrounding  would  always  be  quiet,  like  the  world  was  giving  way  to  'something'  to  pass.  Only  after  a  couple  of  minutes  that  the sound  of  life  would  come back.

     Even though,  it  was  the  same ritual  all  over  again,   it  was  still  creepy  enough  to  make  them  shivering  like  in  a  sub-zero  temperature. 

    "The  fee-els  is  still  like  the  first  time  we  did  it,  right?  E-even without  the  b-bloo-d."  Hanna  said  it  while  still  freaking out  about  it.

"Y-yea-hh,  no  kidding..."  Selena  is  no  different.

They  put  out  the  candles  and  laid  on  the  bed  again.

"By  the  way,  good.  I'm  glad  to  hear  that. No  falling  on  Bill,  just  in  case,"

"Fine  Hanna,  I  know.  You  are  getting quite  annoying  sometimes,"

"For  the  better  Lena.  Good  night  dear.  I love  you,"

"Good  night.  Love  you  too,"

The  night  went  quiet  after  that.  No words  exchanged  even  though  both  of them  were  still  awake.

"I  need  to  make  sure  that  she  does  not know  about  my  feeling  towards  Bill," thought  Hanna  and  Selena  in  their  mind.

    The  sound  of  owls  and  crickets accompanied  the  girls  into  the  world  of dream.  Tomorrow  will  be  different  than today.
