"M-Mackenzie, what did you buy all those balloons for?"

"I bought them so we can throw a quinceanera, Juno..."

"O-Oh, what's a quinceanera-"

"I was being sarcastic, Juno!"

I yelled as I stomped on the breaks, the car screeching to a halt as we finally made it to the church.
Juno shudders as he watches me get out of the car, slamming the door before he said anything else.
Juno then follows my lead, walking in silence as some people in the front of the church watched us in puzzlement.
Before we went inside, I take out the balloons one by one and fill them up with the holy water that was in the gold basin.
Juno watches in confusion as I put about ten holy water-filled balloons under my shirt.

"Mackenzie, what are you going to do with those balloons?"

"I'm going to do some cleansing, my dear Oppa..."

"O-Oppa?"

"Yep...so maybe you should stay out here..."

"No...please tell me what you're going to do, Mackenzie."

"...I'm going to teach your ex a lesson...so please, trust me on this, okay?"

I didn't know if Juno would agree with me about this whole ex-girlfriend thing but if I didn't teach her a lesson about hurting other people, who will?
Juno takes a deep breath before exhaling, then slowly nods his head, giving me his permission.
I sadly smile to him before turning serious, then I gently hold his hand as I dragged him inside the church, everyone turning their heads towards us as we made our way down the aisle.

"Which one is she?"

I whispered in Juno's ear, causing him to shudder. He quietly points to the girl sitting in the front row, who was paying more attention to the priest who was reading a sentence from the Bible.

"Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins..."

"Juno, wait here, I'm going to have a word with your ex..."

"...Okay Mackenzie but please, don't over do it..."

Juno begs as he then stays still, watching me as I approach the girl, holding one water balloon in my hand while I used the other to tap on her shoulder. When she turns to me with a bewildered expression, I took the chance and pop the balloon above her head without hesitation, the holy water now dripping down her face and hair.
She screams before standing up from her seat, staring at me with anger.

"W-What the heck?! What was that for?!"

"You know damn well what that was for...also, please forgive me Father for cursing in the church..."

I apologized to the priest, who just shrugged his shoulders, not understanding what was going on.
I then point to Juno, who was now blushing with embarrassment.

"That boy over there...do you remember him?"

The girl squints her eyes at him before turning back to me.

"Umm...no?"

I took out another balloon and this time, threw it at her face, causing water to now drip down her face and ruin her make up.
She stares at me with wide eyes, her mouth wide open as she was lost for words.
I then exasperatedly sigh as I comb my fingers through my brown hair.

"You're lying...you're lying and you know it...now tell me, do you remember him?"

"...Yes...that's Juno...my ex-boyfriend from the past..."
