Music blared from the speakers so loud you could barely hear the person next to you. The thumping of the beat from the current song that was playing could be felt internally. Lights were flashing and people were dancing erotically all over the place. This was not Akirah's scene.
Akirah was sitting in a lounge area with the rest of her friends. She had just had a stressful day of classes and was suddenly invited to a club.
She wouldn't have came unless her friend Aniya didn't drag her out of bed and practically force her into coming. She knew it was for her own good though.
"Why did you even bring me here?" Akirah asked loud enough for her friend to hear over the obnoxiously loud music.
"Come on Kirah, have a little fun! You've been single and wasting away in your room forever. Maybe tonight will be your lucky night." Aniya nudged her with a little smirk.
"I don't need anybody, I'm perfectly fine on my own." Akirah said taking a sip from the drink she was currently babysitting.
"Let's be for real," Her other friend Korey said from the seat across from her. "Nobody is 'perfectly fine on their own' you need to get laid TONIGHT!"
"What?!" Akirah asked shocked from her friends' bluntness.
"Korey's right," Her other friend Bri joined. "I can help you find the perfect guy to pop your cherry!"
"Ew Bri!" Akirah replied disgusted.
"Sorry!" Bri laughed. "Come on, follow me."
Akirah was hesitant. Yes she was a virgin, but was tonight the night that she really wanted to lose that title?
She was the only one in the group who still hadn't lost her virginity. It was a little embarrassing thinking about it.
"Fine." Akirah said, handing her drink to Aniya who was sitting next to her and finally standing up to follow Bri.
"Good Luck!" Aniya yelled after her as they walked away.
"You think she's actually gonna go through with it?" Aniya asked Korey who was laid back with his feet up.
"Probably not." Korey replied.

Allison Monroe, a passionate college student of a Pre-Law course in University of the Philippines Diliman, come to believe that destiny no longer exists in our world. On the other hand, a happy-go-lucky guy which happened to be her classmate in college was amused by her beauty and brains. They started in not-a-very-good condition, because Allison hated Ryan the first time she have met him. It was love at first fight. As time passes by, the two has been playing with destiny, and started to fall for each other. But, it was not a good fairytale story to tell. Things has been complicated with the two of them, and the truth has started to unravel. There was familiarity in their warmth like they had met when they were younger. It's like they had loved each other at a different moment. At a different world.
"Nothing changed. You were still the jerk I once knew, Jace," Allison uttered with full of sarcasticity. She couldn't believe it. She couldn't help but to laugh at herself for letting him fool her again.
"I have no intention of fooling nor hurting you, I swear. Hear me out this time, Allison, please?" Ryan pleaded.
"There's no point of hearing your stupid explanations, Ryan. You know I only seek for truth, and now that I know the truth, I can't let myself be fooled by you again." She turned her back at him. She never imagined that they could be played by Cupid twice.
Love isn't all about happy endings. Sometimes, it could be tragic. But it may be tragically beautiful. And while Allison is slowly walking away from the place where Ryan is standing, she have thought of something she could do to save herself this time. She would do the first move to avoid pain. She would do the only thing she could do to not be hurt by the same guy again. She'd leave for good.
On Allison's seat, she was watching the plane to take its flight to her Aunt's neighborhood, but she have mumbled last two words, "Fuck love."
