_________________

that's how i ended up on my mother's embrace, asking for advice. well, you see, i did everything for him. i didn't eat much and just eat fruits and drink water for a whole year just to get fit and thought, maybe he'll like me.

i also changed my rude attitude towards him. i changed the way i dress myself. i started wearing revealing(not too much though) clothes just for him to notice me. I started using make-up, even though i don't very much like it because it's very itchy.

why wouldn't he like me back. but instead, he developed feelings for my best friend.

i admit, my best friend is beautiful. but still, i'm very hurt. i still have feelings, you know. i'm a human. i have my nervous system. i have my heart, my mind and most importantly, my soul.

well, graduation will be in 4 days. istg, i'm gonna change now. i'm gonna be a rock now. not having any feelings. i promise that.

graduation day (because ya author is lazy)

"i'll call now the valedictorian, Aisha Marie S. Valdez." the principal said. as always, she's always the top.

Aisha- my best friend- come up the stage and gave her speech.

"uhmm... hello guys! so first, i'd like to thank those people who supported me through out my journey as a middle school girl. please stand up. first of course is my mother and father," auntie and uncle stood up with proud smiles on their faces. "...next is the teachers who guided me," our adviser and teachers stood up with pretty smiles on their faces. "...and lastly is of course, my bestest best friend in the world, Princess Dennise D. Kim." i stood up with a fake(of course, because i'm envious of her) proud smile on my face. "blah blah blah..." and Aisha finshed her speech.

"now, i'd like to call our salutatorian, Princess Dennise D. Kim." the principle called me.

i come up the stage and also gave my speech. of course I credited Aisha also(even though... nevermind).

i came down the stage and hugged my parents. after the ceremony, my parents approached me.

"shall we go home?" my parents asked me.

"sure." i replied. i looked back and waved goodbye to Aisha and, also, to auntie and uncle.

while walking to the gate, i saw Elly waiting for someone with a flower on his hand. i'm sure it's for Aisha. we made eye-contact for a second, but then i started to run again, with tears threatening to fall from my eyes. how unfortunate.

Elly POV

ever since that day, she neither talk nor look at me. what have i done?

well, to explain, that was all an act. one day, Aisha told me that Dennise have a crush on me- because she knew that i have a crush on Dennise- but i never believe her. why? well, she wanted to prove it, so we tried to make her jealous- by acting lovey dovey in front of her-, but she never showed any sign, until that confession, but i need to keep that act up at first and i wanted to see if that is prank at all, but then she cried and ran. and it's all my fault.

this day, i wanted to give her the flowers, but then, again, she ran.

i guess i'll just have to forget about her, since i'll be transferring school on 7th grade. i'm sure her school and my will-be-school will not be the same, so yeah. i made my decision. i'll forget about her.
