Darren's POV

2 months had already passed. Many things had happened. Lygienel hated me. It was my fault anyways. I'm still guilty of what've happened from at the auditorium, though. Every day I that spend through out my life, I've got to be with her everyday.

We have classes from Mondays to Fridays. Then, we have to rehearse for the play next month every MWFs and Saturdays. It was very very stressing. But, it was okay since.. I've got to see Hannah everyday. And.. Lygienel too.

It was final, though. We've got to present Florante at Laura instead of Romeo and Juliet because Romeo and Juliet is too mature for us. It has mature scenes, kissing scenes. Blah! Basta, yun na yun. 

Lygienel and I are partners. I am Florante and she's Laura. Juan Karlos is going to act as my father, Duke Briseo. And Hannah, as my mother. It was going to be very awkward in the actual performance.

Today is the day, I'm going to propose to Hannah as my girlfriend. I hope she'll accept my proposal. Just like Ron, Nash and Hayes promised me to help me court Hannah, they helped me, really. And today is the day that I've been waiting since Day 1.

Hannah and I were walking through the long corridors of Building 4. Then, I immediately thought of Lygienel. Lygienel and I just used to walk around these long corridors. I miss those times, already. I miss her. But, she hates me. So much.

Lygienel and Juan Karlos got closer than ever. Just as what I have expected, Lygienel ignores me. While Hannah and I were walking down the long corridors, I can see Lygienel and Juan Karlos walking while smiling at each other at the distance. And then Juan Karlos put his arm around her shoulder, like how he does to her everyday.

I have to know how Lygienel will react if I propose to Hannah in front of her.

"Hannah, I have to ask you something," I told her. Hannah exposed her smile on me as she nodded. As I spotted Lygienel and Juan Karlos near Hannah and I, I kneeled in front of Hannah and said,

"Hannah, will you be mine?" I asked. I saw Lygienel stopped on her tracks, holding Juan Karlos by the arm. "Yes, Darren, it's a yes!" Hannah said, crying tears of joy. I stood up and hugged her.

Then, I just saw Lygienel running away from Juan Karlos. JK looked at me with a mixed emotion then ran away, following Lygienel.

I am happy, but there's something missing. I am happy that Hannah and I are together now. But, there's something's really missing. And, I'm not aware of what is it.

"Let's go to the auditorium, shall we?" Hannah asked me, holding my hand. I didn't felt anything. Unlike Lygienel's sparks are all over my body. I nodded at Hannah, walking with her.

Lygienel's POV

"So, iiyak ka na naman? Iiyakan mo na naman ba si Darren?" Juan Karlos asked me. Although I ran, he can still follow me because he was that fast. I looked at Juan Karlos, sighing. I shrugged at Juan Karlos.

"Look, nagpromise ako sa'yo na hindi ko iiyakan si Darren, diba? So, hindi ko sya iiyakan. Tara na nga, Duke Briseo, may rehearsal pa tayo sa play eh," I told him, doing a bored face.

Rehearsals were nothing but stress. Well, for me. Because, I can't do my homeworks well on time. I can't focus on my academics because I have to memorize so many lines for the play. Well, at least, I've got some extra points from the play.

"Tara na nga, Laura," Juan Karlos said, chuckling. As usual, he would wrap his arms around my shoulder. Like how he always do to me. By this way, I feel so safe in his side. The warmth of his body makes me feel safe.
