CALESIE'S POINT OF VIEW (POV)
"YES I WOOOON!!!!", I excitedly shouted
I won the contest!
"Bro, what was that all about?" Aldrin asked,
"I thought that by saying that she will be shocked and then lose," Deyro explained,
"Uncool Bro,", They were looking at each other so serious, So intense,
"OUR TURN!! OUR TURN!!!" Hailey shouted trying to change the heavy atmosphere
"Ye-Yeah, Aldrin it's your turn," they are fighting while staring at each other, Aldrin looks so mad, But even so...
YOOHOO!!! FREE LUNCH TOMORROW!! I WON!!!!
Hailey and Aldrin sat on the bench, it was now there turn to do the challenge,
I looked at Hailey while they are getting ready,
Yep, She's blushing
"1, 2, 3 GO!!!" that's the sign that the contest for them has begun
They stared at each other not blinking, You can see that Hailey is really happy because the person she likes is staring at her,
Deyro and I were patiently waiting for one of them blink, While looking at them, I realized that my heart,
It's aching...
They were smiling at each other, looking so sweet, They look good together,
I shouldn't let myself feel this pain in my chest because I have no rights to love him this much, I am one of the reasons his sister died
This feelings,
I will remove them...
"I won!! Yes!!! " Aldrin excitedly said, he won the contest,
I saw Hailey have been blushing a lot since the game started, she can't handle looking into Aldrin's eyes for too long, she is too shy,
"I guess, I'll have to be thrifty on dinner," Hailey shyly said
"You don't have to, because it's me who won the contest, I will treat you for tomorrow's lunch," Aldrin said
"But the rules said that the person who loses should treat the person who won," Hailey said
"I don't go with rules, that's not my thing," Yep, He's full of himself, I bet he thinks he's so cool right now, Oh Aldrin, when are you going to change,
"So, since we have a little fun, how about we get started thinking about how to finish our project now?" I said hoping they will agree with me, completing the first project is important,
"Yeah sure," They agreed, Finally, Project time!
The garden is big and since we are not on the same team, We decided to separate, Hailey and Aldrin sat on the bench not too far from Deyro and me,
"So how about we start on thinking about the melody first, Then we will make the lyrics," I suggested,
"Yeah, We should do that," Deyro agreed,
The garden is the right place to make this kind of projects Because the place is peaceful, It's calming,
"So how about this one.....*hum* huuuuuum*..." Is that his voice? he has a Beautiful and calming voice, from what I think soft songs is perfect for his voice because he can deliver emotions and stories from singing,
The melody is beautiful especially when Deyro sang it but
I think it's lacking something
"What do you think of the melody?" Deyro asked,
"Well..... It's good but....."
"But?"
"for me, it's lacking something, but what is it?" I explained while the tip of my pen is touching my chin, I am trying to think what's wrong,
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!" We heard Aldrin and Hailey laughed, I turn my head around to look at them, they were smiling and at the same time having fun together, this is bad...
Focus,
"I think that the melody is lacking some more emotions, this song for me is like a ballad," I explained but Deyro was just staring at me
"So the guy that you love is your best friend, am I right?" That question made me surprised,
"NO! ehem.....I mean no, let's continue" I said trying to avoid his question
"You know Calesie, to know his feelings towards you, You have to confess,"
"What are you talking about?"
"I think he likes you too, but both of you are scared because you both don't want to lose a great friend"
"No! It's not because I'm scared to lose him, But because having me beside him is painful for him, every time he looks at me he's just being reminded of the past " I confessed,
"What do you mean?" Deyro asked
"I have no rights to let him know that I have feelings for him, I was part of his dark past and it's because of me that he lost someone,"
The pain and the wound is still inside, the past that I want to forget is still behind me trying to chase and pull me,
I want to escape,
I want to be free
"Calesie, I didn't know that inside, you are...."
"Let's just continue our project Deyro,"
"Yeah, Sorry,"
"It's okay, You don't know me anyway,"
We came up with a great melody, I wrote the notes on my sheet, but I am gonna be needing a piano since I want to here if I wrote the notes correctly, Where can I use a piano?
"So how about this Calesie, I will write the lyrics because I kind of memorize the melody now, Is that okay?" Deyro asked,
"Yeah sure," I agreed,
"Tomorrow we can practice so that our project will be finished,"
"Okay," I said while holding three fingers on my hands, meaning I agreed,
Because it's getting dark, we decided to pack our things that are scattered on the bench, I didn't think that we can finish the melody before the end of this day,
"Calesie, ?" He called as if he was embarrassed to tell me something,
"Yes?"
"Thank you because you helped me out, without you, I am sure I will fail"
"Well technically, it's our project, of course, I will help out, but you're welcome, and also, thank you,"
"I have to do well for the performance since, I am new here, I don't want my scholarship to be wasted,"
"Yeah, Me too, Since HE is going to be there with the judges,"
"What? Who is HE?" I asked
"My father, He is business partners with the Meusons and I am sure he is gonna be there to see the progress of the students here, he's also the one who designed the university "
"Oohhhh..."
"I wanted to prove to him that, I made the right choice," He answered
"What is your father's company by the way?" I asked out of curiosity
"He's an architect, he holds a large team of Professionals, they said that his designs are the best, he wanted me to be like him but I refused because I wanted to be a singer and become famous that's why I'm here, lucky for me, Mr. Franco, our dean is his friend,"
"Ohhhhh..."
I was about to ask him another question but they arrived...
"Bessy!!! Are you done with your project?!!" She asked while they approach us,
"Well yeah, we just have to practice and then I think we are going to finish,"
"How about you?" I asked
"Yeah, We finished ours too, We just need to practice a lot,"
"So how about we grab something to eat? It's our gift to ourselves since we are almost done with our project?" Aldrin suggested
"Yeah, we should, I'm starving,"
*GRRRR~~~~~~~* ( HAILEY'S STOMACH GROWLING)
"See guys, I'm starving, hehe" We all laughed because that is so cute,
I admit it, Two days of studying here might be hard but at the same time it was fun especially when you are making friends,
"Calesie let's go!"
"Yeah coming," I forgot my small old phone, I searched for it on the bench, below the bench but I can't find it, I looked inside my bag again,
Oh! it's just inside, I thought I lost it!!.....
"Calesie!! " I heard Hailey called,
"Yes, I'm coming!" She must be really hungry now,
I walk, going towards them, but as I took another step,
"Calesie!!" Hailey's shout was like echoing inside my head, It was like I was falling in slow motion, I was getting ready to fall and just closed my eyes, Why didn't I saw that? because of it
I SLIPPED!!!!!!
"Calesie? Are you okay?" did he just catch me? but he's far away, his left hand was holding into my waist that keeps me from falling, he was looking at me so worried,
"I am fine, You can let go now," Aldrin helped me stand up since he is the one holding me, So clumsy Calesie!! walking is easy, Why do I have to slip?! I am too embarrassed to Aldrin
"Are you alright Calesie?" It was Deyro,
"Yes, I am fine,"
"WOW!! WHAT A GREAT SHOW YOU JUST PERFORM CALESIE!!, " A woman with a furious voice shouted,
"VERY GOOD!!" She continued, She's in front of us, clapping her hands while walking towards us
"Adeline, What are you doing here?" Deyro asked
"Deyro! Why can't I be here? I own every corner of this University" She furiously answered,
She looked at me with a cold smile, It was like she wanted to bring me down with her stare, She went towards me still with that kind of expression, It was like I did something wrong when clearly, I didn't
"I warned you!! and yet!!!"
*SLAP!!*
"ADELINE!! WHY DID YOU DO THAT TO MY BESSY!!!" Hailey asked I touched my face because of pain starting to appear, She just slapped me, what for?
"She deserves it, she deserves to be slap by me!" She shouted and was about to slap me again, I can feel her anger, I can hear her pain, She was jealous but it doesn't mean she has the right to slap me,
"ADELINE STOP THIS RIGHT NOW OR ELSE....." Deyro ordered while holding Adeline's hand stopping it from slapping my face the second time,
"Or else what Deyro?" Adeline angrily asked
"Or else....we are over,"
"You wouldn't dare,"
"I will...., Right now, We are over Adeline, I think about this a lot but I don't want to be with someone who doesn't even trust me, so yes, we are over, this is my decision alone, Calesie or anyone Is not involved, and it's not because I have someone else in my heart but because I am suffocating, I can't breath when I am with you, I'm not free at all,"
"But Deyro..."
"Stop it, Adeline! we are over," He said and then he walked away
"DEYRO!!! YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME!!! I THOUGHT YOU LOVE ME!!! BUT YOU'RE A LIAR!!!" Adeline Shouted, She was crying,
"I didn't know that I was too hard on you, I was just too in love with you," I heard her whispered,
She looked at me, then went towards me...
"THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!!!" Her face is angry but she was crying, I was walking backward trying to avoid her,
"Don't you ever dare hurt her again, Or else I am going to punch you in the face, even if you are a girl, I don't care about that," He said while blocking Adeline, Aldrin was tall so the only thing that I can see was his back,
Adeline stopped because of Aldrin's warning then she finally walks away while wiping her tears off of her face,
"Calesie are you okay?" Hailey asked
"Yes I am fine, It's just a slap," I lied, The truth is it hurts,
"Are you sure? We should report her to her father, Even if she is the daughter of Mr. Meuson, she shouldn't abuse her power like what she did to you"
"No! it's fine, I'm fine, I know that she is just afraid,"
"Afraid of what?" Hailey asked
"Afraid of losing someone she loves," Aldrin said while seriously

BONUS STORY:
DEYRO'S POINT OF VIEW(POV)
"DEYRO!!!!! DEYRO!!!!! PLEASE DON'T DO THIS!!!" Adeline shouted she is now in front of me, holding my hand, begging that we don't break up,
There were a lot of students staring at us,
*MURMUR OF THE STUDENTS*
I bet a new rumor will spread tomorrow,
"Please Deyro, I will change, I just... I love you too much," I was shocked when she's suddenly down on her knees, still holding my hand, begging for her forgiveness
"Adeline stand up," I ordered forcing her to stand up,
"NO!!! I AM NOT GOING TO STAND UP, TAKE BACK WHAT YOU SAID EARLIER, WE ARE NOT OVER RIGHT?!!! WE DIDN'T BROKE UP, RIGHT?!!" Adeline begged while her voice is cracking, She was crying, I can't bear seeing her like this, I still love her,
"Adeline, Please stand up!" I demanded,
"Please Deyro doesn't leave me I only did that because I love you, I love you so much that I don't want any girls involved with you, I love you so much that I am scared that, what if you develop your feelings for her? I love you so much so please don't do this, " She explained, I keep telling myself to be strong and not be weak, But when I am around her, I am weak,
She's my weakness
"I love you too Adeline so please stand up," She looked at me while her eyes are full of tears, It breaks my heart, I helped her stand up and then hugged her tight,
"I promise I am going to be nice to Calesie or with any other girls, I am not going to be so jealous anymore, I promise Deyro that I am going to trust you, Always," She said crying, I thought I can, I thought that it's easy, But....
