BRIAN CHRISTIAN HARVARD

That was utterly humiliating. "There's no one else fairer in this universe than thee?"

I sounded like an old geek! Where did that crap even came from.

Sigh, why didn't I manage to hold back myself a while ago? But now that I think about it, it's not been my entire fault!

She was the one who used that seductive tone first, and that look and that dress, ugh! I idiotically got carried away. My hammering heart is at fault too. Dammit! I'm so flabbergasted.

I noticed lately that I.D girl has this effect on me. First she makes me feel vulnerable, then she makes me feel embarrassed, then she makes me want to kiss her! On the hand to be exact! Sh*t! What the heck am I even thinking??

It's a good thing that I'm all alone in this dressing room, if not? It will be a disaster if someone sees my face all flustered like this. Me? Brian Christian Harvard, embarrassed over some girl? My friends will surely kill me.

I picked up my original clothes and dressed up. Before I went out of the room I paced back and forth. Why do I still have this uneasy feeling? Like I wanted to look at something? Am I looking for her again? I wonder what she think after the play. Is she mad at me?

I groaned. I think I knew what could stop this thousand questions in me.

I need to confront her.

I thought as I walked outside the door to find I.D girl.

ARYA SAVIER

I found myself alone back at the dressing room. Jadey and Lieu were nowhere to be found either. I was about to slip out of my itchy dress when I heard someone say;

"Oh, you wouldn't mind me seeing that then huh?"

I jumped up in shock and scowled at the direction of the speaker. It was non-other than Brian. He was already back in his normal clothes and he had that smug smile of his and his arms were crossed. He was leaning on the door side.

"Wh-what do you want?!" I scowled.

"My...that scowling face doesn't suit Aphrodite at all," He slowly entered the room and closed the door before him.

"Shut up! It doesn't concern you anyway!" To my surprise, he just chuckled and sat on the chair near me.

"Hey man-girl, don't you think you have a lot of explaining to do?" Brian started, his tone was serious so I couldn't help but sit on the chair adjacent to him.

"Like what?"

"Oh, you know, like shouting at me to apologize at something and avoiding me like you don't know me," he shrugged.

"Avoiding you? I'm not! Why would I avoid you? And don't you think you're the one who needs to explain things? What about that little stunt you pulled back there?" I replied.

Brian just smirked, "Oh that? That's for me to know and you to find out..."

"WHAT? God you're so, so, SO Mercurial! I give up!" I raised my hands in the air in frustration.

"That was really a stupid stunt you pulled back at the Octopus don't you think? I almost wanted to climb up and drag you down..." Brian said quietly.

I quickly gazed at him. "Why? What's it to you anyway? I'm bet you don't really care and you're busy ogling at your Claudette! I'm even surprised you notice!" I couldn't contain myself anymore.
