Not Into Her

XI - The Awkward Moment

February came and all lovers around school started smooching and comforting on the tables and chairs. They almost kissed each others' lips and I felt disgusted with it. It was a hot, February first and I already knew what occasion is it that will coming. It's Valentine's Day this fourteenth and I haven't seen or have anybody on my list.

But Aprielle's so lucky. She's got a boyfriend and she really like her boyfriend very much. I was a total loser and got no luck in love. I haven't found someone who is sincere with me and very good at me. And now, I'm alone with my friends who were also total losers. We came in and noticed some of our classmates are not around. We looked around the school and noticed our classmates with their lovers in the corridor or in other classrooms.

Then we walked inside and head back to the classroom and wait for our teachers teach us some lessons for the day. Then an announcement came inside the room.

"The prom night is coming and we're allowed to do after the event." some random student said on the door.

I looked at my friends and smiled.

"Are you guys going to the Prom Night?" I asked the four.

They nodded and very excited to the event. They haven't found some dates for the event but they really want to join the event.

Aprielle and her friends walked inside the room and they sat on their chairs with their bags on the sides. They looked at each other and smiled as they talk about the coming Prom Night. They laughed about it and they also join the event for this is not for lifetime. I can see it on their eyes that they want to join the event this coming February the sixteenth.

The following days are crucial when all students have to pay for the bills of the Prom Night. All third year and fourth year students must've pay their shares before Prom Night and they must pay the bill before going to Prom with their formal attire and dresses. The deadline for the bill is on February 10 and should be included in this month's tuition fee.

So my father paid the tuition fee along with the bill for Prom Night. Father paid the tuition fee on February 9, a day before the deadline. I think all students of the two higher levels done their billing and I think they're ready for the Prom Night.

February 16th came and it was Saturday. The venue is set at The Venue Entertainment Center in Jacinto Extension. The road from Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas of Davao City. The place is very cozy, very cool from the air conditioning units and the tables are set with white mantles and red ones too. The food are currently cooked by the chefs on their secret kitchen and all have to wait is the students.

I rode the taxi cab to the venue site with my sister. She's advising me where the site is though I didn't have a chance to go around the city. I was wearing my pink long-sleeved polo, with dark-blue checkered tie with drawings of the American flag around, black coat and pants and black shoes, just not to ruin the attire I have planned and followed.

When we reach the building, I looked around, from the flooring to the building itself, and noticed the carpets are all rolled out and placed on the tiled floor. The building is very classy, like the movies around seventies. The lights are in yellow and a little bit of gold. And the door are doubled and just must be pushed to enter.

My sister walked out of the cab and then I walked out from the cab too. My sister then gave me the coat. I took the coat from my sister's hand and wore it around my arms. Then I walked to the red carpet and waved at my sister good-bye.

"Have a nice night, brother!" Sister said to me.

Then she walked inside the very same taxi cab and the driver drove the cab back to the village where we lived. When she arrived our house, she paid the total cab bill and went back to her sleep.
