Dawn’s POV

I couldn’t believe that Clayton Salvador invited me to their gig at the club. I was surprised. I guess now is the right time to set things right? I am now on my way to the heaven’s Club when someone tapped my shoulder, I stopped walking with eyes so wide.

“Why are people on pins and needles these days?” A masculine voice came behind me. I quickly turned my head to his direction and saw Dan in his jeans and V-neck shirt.

“What are you doing? You nearly caused me my death.” I started walking. He asked me what I was doing here and I gave him a smile and told him about the invitation. We entered the club when the man I was least expecting appeared out of the blue. I wasn’t being rude really, but I don’t like him that much. I just admired him. He had with him his devilish smile and I mentally rolled my eyes. Idiot. Can’t you see it?

 “Hey there, glad you could make it.” He said while his arms are wrapped in my waist.

“Well, how could I possibly reject the offer?”  He just laughed there. Dan is now faking a cough and we later decided to take a sit in the couch where the Four corners would be seated. Clayton then asked something I couldn’t hear.

“Aps? He’s buying something or enjoying himself in dancing with dozen of girls around him.” Said Dan who’s silent for a little while. He looked at me the moment he said that.

 “Excuse me for asking this stupid question but where is Archie? I mean, I still owe him an apology for acting like a brat a month ago. I still didn’t say sorry. And I wanted to tell him that.” Just by the end of my sentence an arm hugged me from behind. And I was startled to see the most beautiful creature I have ever seen smiling at me. I was awestruck. And then I felt butterflies in my stomach. I shook my head at the feeling. Just what is that?

 “Who’s this lovely lady?” when I have the chance to look at him closely I was stunned to notice who this guy was. This couldn’t be possible. I mean, is it really him? He is looking so handsome, absolutely perfect.

“You got a girl drool over you again Aps and this time it’s the same girl who insulted you a month ago. Wow, you’ve got it bro.” teased Vans from the corner while drinking his champagne.

“Well, she doesn’t know what she caused me saying those things.” they all laughed but I was feeling guilty. I lowered my gaze but some chick came and our attention was now on the girl and Archie. They talked turkey in front of us. I wasn’t sure if my intention of saying sorry will still be okay. Seeing him fine by himself and the fact that he changed because of what I said just put burden to me. For the hundredth time I felt so down. I’m sorry Archie.

I stared at him for a while, admiring him on how he had still the courage to smile even though I hurt him. And here it is again. Stupid stomach. STOP. I watched them disappeared in the drunken sea of teenagers.

“Action speaks louder than words.” Dan caught my attention with his statement. He then smiled at me and returned in his drinking position. What does he meant by that? I mean, it wasn’t directed to me, wasn’t it? Was I that obvious? It’s my first time to feel something like this so I don’t know anything about this stupid feeling.

 

Archie’s POV

Two months passed since that incident in the club. I still remember her scent. She smells so good. But before I could be back into that guy who wished she could be mine, a girl walked right into me and we walked far away from them but I saw her lowered her gaze and had a sad smile on her face? Is the plan working? I hope so.

We, the three of us, are now on an Ice cream café, eating our favorite flavored ice cream. It turned out good, I have to admit that. These past few days have been so magical. Funny that it came from a boy like me but that’s the truth but I’ve got to set my feelings aside. I have to stop my feelings for her.

“Dawn, there’s some in the corner of your mouth.” Clayton played his role very well though. He grabbed a napkin and wiped the cream in Dawn’s face. She was stiff and her eyes were widely shocked. She’s really very vulnerable. I quickly gaze away. Would I still be able to see her feeling fine after this plan will work? Will she understand us for doing this? But doubtly, not, for this Revenge is somewhat insane and it hurts me to think the possibilities of losing her. Shouldn’t have agreed on this plan from the start. IDIOT.

“I’ve got to go to the bathroom.” She stands up heading to the bathroom with a scowl on her face.

 “Well, do your tactics faster Clay. I couldn’t bear to hurt her even more if we make this longer, my conscience is knocking me down.” I stand up and grabbed my bag and walked out of the Café without looking back.
