Chapter X

CONFESSION

It was already February 1st, and the Junior – Senior Prom was fast approaching and it was such a coincidence that the date of the Prom is the same as Heart’s Birthday! All students’ were excited, there dresses are ready, and they’re got their dates?? And their plans… it was during that afternoon when Fred and Trix were at the SSG office, signing some proposal papers, “Hey, what are your plans for Heart’s birthday?? During Prom??” asked Trix, “Huh! Is Heart birthday this Feb. 13??” exclaimed Fred. “What? You’ve known each other since September last year! And you still don’t know her birthday?!” exclaimed Trix in surprise. Then Fred, who was so shy to admit it, remained quiet and thinks… What can he do during that day and so he planned… Since he was the SSG President It’s not hard for him to plan but it seems that to plan some romantic gift for the special girl he likes is kinda hard. Then he came up with an idea, “What?! Sing in front of the crowed?! Are you crazy?? Do you want it to rain?” Trix teased. “Hey! I know I’m not that good but I’m not that bad :-(…” defended Fred, and then Trix laughed… Fred wanted it to be a surprise, so the following day when Trix met with her friends… she tried to keep her mouth shut! She tried to be very quiet ‘coz she can slip! And she helped Fred to plan each detail ‘coz as a girl and Heart’s friend she know what to do… but besides his busy schedule doing things for his SERVICE life and PERSONAL life, he never missed to see Heart every day and text her…

While it seems that Heart and Fred’s relationship were blossoming, it seems that Gella is losing her hope for a blossoming love life Charlie is still ignoring her, she told the girls about it, and as her friends they really gave her a good advice… “Girl, it would be fine… don’t cha worry, I know you can handle that…” said Marj. But they didn’t know Charlie got his plans, well not all of them… Charlie told one trustworthy person – Heart. Heart also kept it as a secret.

Trix and Raffy that time is doing VERY FINE! But there’s one little simple problem, none of them know if there in a relationship or something all they know is that, they’re together, happy and sure of what they feel towards each other. It seems that the 3 girls got themselves a love life, aside from Marj… she’s just busy observing her friends love life but she doesn’t even have her own. But aside from being lonely, she focused herself on the positive side… she thought for himself, maybe I could find “HIM” in the Prom and then asked for a sign, “the GUY that I will see wearing a blue stripe tie during the prom must be the one or maybe the one.”

Days passed and it was already Feb. 13, it’s Heart birthday and the students awaited Prom Night came. Everyone was all at there elegant cocktail gowns. Simple yet elegant would describe them all. The ambiance in the hall where the Prom Night was held was terrific. There were bands, pictorial booths at the side, a long table filled with foods and drinks and more than 50 round tables at the center. That was around 8 p.m., some students’ were chatting with their friends in the corner, eating some platter foods, drinks and some were dancing at the dance floor. And some are just enjoying their time, sitting in the tables, eating, just listening to the bands; one of them is Trix and Raffy. They were just having their ordinary conversation when Raffy asked the most important hanging question out of nowhere. “Hey, are we ---- you know?? I mean what you call us?” he didn’t know what word to use but Trix knew what that means, she was shocked (again!) didn’t know what word to say so he turned the question… “You?? What do you think??” asked Trix “I said I like you. You said you like me too… So?? Was that it?” asked Raffy again. Then Trix answered, “Maybe… Yes??” “Yes??” “Yes!” Raffy wanted to jump, as if he’s a kangaroo but before he can Trix warned her, “No! Over – reactions…” and so Raffy just smiled like crazy! Then not a minute, the 3 other girls came, “What happened?” asked Gella suspiciously. Raffy felt some kind of shy so he stood up, “I’ll just go to the other table for a while,” and so he went, “So, something happen right??” asked Gella again. Trix just smiled but they really are friends ‘coz they already knew what it means. They were laughing silently and they wanted to shout! But in the middle of their conversation, they noticed Marj was busy looking around, “Hey?!?” called Heart, “Yah?” “What’s up with you?” asked Heart. “Who are you looking for?” asked Trix, Marj was about to speak but she saw something or rather someone that made her stood up… she said to herself, “Blue tie?” and when she saw the one wearing it… “RYAN?!” she exclaimed to herself. She thought, “Is the “HIM” really Ryan?? Was it a coincidence? And if it is, why is Ryan the only one wearing a blue tie?? Even in way here, I never saw anyone wearing a blue tie!” her mind was wandering when --- “Ms. Theatre Arts??” called Ryan for the 3rd time… “Hey!” “Are you imagining things??” “No!” “Okay! See you around.” Then Ryan went. Marj settled herself and was back to the world but her eyes were stuck with Ryan then… “Hey!” said Heart. “What are you thinking?” asked Heart “Nothing” answered Marj “Nothing?!?” repeated Trix. “Fine! Is Ryan cute?? I mean is he a boyfriend material?” said Marj “boyfriend material? Do you like him?!” said Gella. “Duh?! Forget it!” finished Marj but Gella didn’t stop teasing her then Heart then Trix! But they were suddenly silent when they noticed everyone were silent too... “Charlie was on stage! And he’s going to do he’s reality act! “This thing that I’m going to tell in front of you is for one special girl… one mysterious girl, who got a unique simplicity she got a smile that makes anyone on the bright side… a friend who’s always there… and I also wanted to tell her that there’s no Charlie without her… Gella --- (everyone looked at Gella and the spot light was on here…) Gella wasn’t expecting for it, the 2 other girls were “kilig” but for Heart who knew about it, she just smiled, not knowing that something like that is going to happen to her too. You told me that I treat you as the girl I met when I was 1 and that I only treat you as my best friend, that is because I thought you wanted me to treat you as one but I wanted you to know, that since then you’re special. That you’re more than that and if I would be given a chance to choose between having as a friend, best friend or more than best friend I would rather choose the 3rd…” he was done but Gella made no reaction, she just stood up and looked at Charlie, maybe feeling shy, “Hey! Don’t you have an answer? I said I like you! And remember you already told me that you like me, you can’t get that back…” Charlie acted like dumb, so he continued “What is this I’m saying?? Hey! I’m getting crazy here! Do you want to be my girl??” Charlie said in a shy, low voice. Gella remained quiet, so Charlie decided to get down the stage but suddenly, “Yah!” said Gella calmly and slowly. Charlie looked at her and she repeated, “Yah, I like to be your girl.” Said Gella naturally, unlike Raffy, Charlie jumped and shouted. His audience was laughing, cheering, “kilig” and etc. Then Charlie approaches Gella… looked at each others eyes then smile!

And so, in one round table they gathered ---- Trix and Raffy; Gella and Charlie, Marj and Heart, “Heart, where surrounded by lovers again…” but little do she know, something is about to happen… “Heart, by the way, where’s Fred?” asked Marj. “I don’t know… I’ve been looking for him too…” answered Heart, but she was shocked when Fred is announced to the stage… “A friend told me that I could bring rain if I sing, but I wouldn’t be discourage, if this is the only way to prove to the girl that I like, that I like her a lot,” and so Fred, sang Heart’s favorite… “BEAUTIFUL GIRL by Jose Mari Chan” then rendered a speech… “When I first met you, during our blind date, I thought it wouldn’t work out ‘coz were different, but when you kicked my feet that time, you were able to control me for some reasons, something told me to listen to you, and at that instant, I felt your special, while when in Star City, I really enjoyed being with you and I thought I don’t want it to end… you also asked me, if why did I bring you at the soccer field and I said that I’m extra – ordinary happy, you asked why?? Now, I have the answer ‘coz I’m with you…”

Everyone in the crowd said, “Aahh!” that was quiet romantic, then Fred continued, “Ms. Heart Perez, I want to tell you that I like you! Would you be my girl?” and so the spotlight was on Heart and without any thought she answered, “YES??” then smiled… “YES??” Fred repeated. “YES!” and so Fred ran towards her and without her permission, he hugged her in front of the crowd. And Heart who a bit shocked, hugged him too. Every one in the hall was “kilig” of what Fred did. And everyone agreed that it’s the most romantic event during the night and the highlight of the PROM!

After 3 consecutive romantic confessions, the 3 pairs together with Marj stayed in one round table. Marj felt some kind of “out – of – place” for she’s the only one who hasn’t got a partner. As mellow music plays, she got even more, more insecure?? (Right word ba?) Until the 3 pairs decided to dance, “how about Marj??” inquired Trix, “Duh?! I’ll be fine… I wouldn’t lose myself in the crowd. I’ll just stay here… and besides got no partner. And maybe the man of my dreams will come… (hehehe) and the 3 pairs went to the dance floor. Marj was alone for a minute but Ryan came… “Why are you alone? No date” asked Ryan. “Yah, sort of, it seems that you don’t have too.” Answered Marj then he seated. “Maybe… you could be my date and I could be yours…” proposed Ryan. “Maybe…” then they laughed. They chatted and laughter as if they weren’t ex – enemies… while at the dance floor… the 3 girl saw Ryan and Marj… “Hey, Heart! Isn’t they a perfect pair?” asked Trix. “Yah!” then they looked at each other and came up with an idea!
