"HEY, YOU COULDN'T WAIT FOR ME HUH?" TY COMMENTED AS ELLIE WATCHED ONE EPISODES OF FRIENDS. The two spend more quality time after what happened.

"You know I feel bad for Ross." Ellie muttered, her head on her palm.

"Well, it's his fault for being such a chicken for telling his feelings." Ellie pinched his best friend at what he said. Ty pouted and couldn't help but to wonder if this girl beside her was holding on pretty good.

"So, how's going...?"

"If you mean about my heart--"

"Of course, I meant you and Pooh." he jokes making Ellie guffaw at his goofy expression.

"Well... He called earlier but that didn't matter, though." Ellie made a sour look and shook her head trying to shook Ricky off her head.

" I still couldn't believe --"

"Ty can we talk about something else--just not him." Ty understand what she felt then an envelop catches his attention.

"You're enrolling already?" Ellie sighed and grabbed the letter from Ty who was confused.

"When are you...?"

"After the show." Ellie stared at the envelop. She thought of this over.

"Does Ricky know?" Ellie shook her head. She couldn't face Ricky after what he did. And it breaks her heart seeing him even at school.

"He don't need to know."

"Are you doing this because of him? If it is--"

"I would be lying if I say no... But part of my decision is because of him. But after what happened, I realized that... maybe we rush us. And I didn't even bother asking him if he's moved on with Nini...so it's also my fault." Ellie interrupts. Her leaving, may look like a coward to do in facing it. It somewhat serves as a wake up call for Ellie on the reason why she is doing everything is to be able to go on a decent college and make her parents proud. And sulking for a the whole summer wouldn't be a great representation of that

"And I'm not just doing this because of him. I'm doing this for Flora and Kent. I'm still up on studying my butt off and strive for my dream." Ellie added. Ty let out a sad sound and hugged the blonde girl.

" Hey--I'll come back. Every weekends." Ellie assure her best friend.

"You better be. I don't like it watching Friends alone." a smile creeps on the edge of her lips at what Ty said.

"Me too..." Ty will sure miss this small bean. Ellie cuddles with Ty as they watch their favorite TV series.

It was the day, all of the cast and crew hearts pounding like crazy. But hers stayed still, Ellie looked at everyone who were have this tense look on their face. Ty were all red busy preparing the props. Everyone gave their effort and time for this moment. And couldn't help but to feel sad that she was already leaving tomorrow.

Ellie haven't mentioned about it to all of them. Since she didn't want it to affect the performance tonight.

"On second thought, I heard that there are reasons why you should not leave tomorrow." Ellie gave Ty another look but of course he couldn't convince him.

"Ty ..." Ellie called but Ty just pouted. Ellie hands trails on his cheeks and slapped him lightly. Ty groaned lightly, what a girl. The two of them laughed the nervousness away.

"H-Hey..." Ellie froze when her eyes met his.

"Hey, Ricky." Ty excused herself and left the two to chat. Ty gave a killer glare at Ricky but Ricky shook it away.

"It's been days, huh."

"Good luck for later." Ellie just kept her head down unable to look at him.

He missed her,the way she smiles and cuddles him. Everything about Ellie.

"Ellie? Can you... look at me?" Ricky wanted to see her gaze. He missed her. He knew what he did was unacceptable and unforgivable. But after what happened, it all became clear.

When he kissed Nini, it was just a... kiss. Nothing emotional or sparks behind it. Which made him realized that,

It has always been Ellie.

He saw there was a hint of hurt in Ellie's which made him feel bad.

"I'm sorry--"

"Ricky, I understand. You don't feel the same way and it has always been Nini." Ellie interrupts.

"Look, let's just focus on what matters most... which is the show." Ellie finished and sighed. She still couldn't make herself look at him.

"O-Okay...I'll see you." With that Ellie just walked away not wanting to pierce her heart everytime she saw him.

"I don't not love you..."

Everybody gathered around with short messages with one another. Ellie stood beside Big Red.

"I know we don't speak that frequently but I just want to say you did a pretty good job." Big Red thanked Ellie and exchanged their good lucks.

There Miss Jenn, Ricky, Nini and Carlos spoke about how they should seize the very moment. Part of Ellie urges her to speak at that very moment.

" Uhm... I just wanna say, everyone did a pretty good job. And I will miss this...because I felt this is one of the memories I will forever keep in my heart. And... we can kill it. Go Wild Cats!"

"Go Wild Cats!" everyone sang as they positioned and prepared themselves.

Let the show, begin!
