[spoiler]Sorry for late update, my mom and dad are in the state of addiction to PVZ that is why it is hard to type [/spoiler] [b]Chapter 27[/b] Argh! My hands are bleeding again! What is it with my phone? It is alarming since 5. I take a look in it, Oh man! Jealousy stay away from me! I completely forgot! Today is Paige’s 17th birthday! I hurriedly dialled Mike’s number. [i]”yellow!” Mike said cooly “Hey Mike! Cancel the birthday party for Paige.” “Huh? Dude why?” he asked shocked. “She is going out with Rex.” I said with a little pain in my voice. “Dude! It is all part of the plan that Rex will get Paige remember?” Oh sh*t! “Sorry, kinda forgot about these things...” O yea planned. Can’t believe I forgot. “Okay I’ll explain it to you briefly. If you are the one who will put Paige in the party it is not a surprise so you just go shop with her.” “So can the party be moved at 6?” “Sure no problem!” “Make sure there is no Kara! Or else!” “Don’t cha worry everything is taking care of.” [/i] Ok got 4 hours! Paige entered the door... “Hey your hand okay?” Paige said as she comes in the door. “Yea it’s fine ” I said smiling at her. “Tell me what came into your head and you squeezed the glass too hard!” she said in her angry-concerned look. “Tsk. It doesn’t matter!” I said grinning. “It doesn’t matter?! Are you crazy?!” she shouted at me. “Shhs... Let’s go prepare you for your date.” I pulled her so that she won’t argue. [u][i]Paige’s POV[/i][/u] He will help me prepare my date with Rex? What drug did he take? Ok we are already in the mall. He pulls me to one store and another then he said that this store is surely the best. I mean I changed into more than 50 clothes in an hour and nothing is good enough for him. And I don’t even know why he is doing this at the first place I thought he hate me for going out with Rex. “Nope too blue...” he said then back to the dressing room. “Nah to stripey!” I agree, In this dress I’m like a festival dancer! Okay, I got out from the dressing room and I think I will go back. I guess right Den’s face was like drinking a bottle of vinegar. Ok these is the last one according to the saleslady haixt sa wakas! I walked out the dressing room. Noong lumabas ako nakita ko ung ugok na iyo na parang Jun Pyo maghintay! “Hoy!” Sigaw ko sa kanya. Tumingin siya at ngumiti habang inup and down niya ako. “Simplicity is beauty.” Actually simple talaga ung dress. Tube na blue with white belt tapos puffy sa baba ang kinakainis ko lang cocktail dress siya “How about my dress? And ain’t you going to pay?” I said as he pull me out in the boutique. “O yea, forgot sorry. Um Miss just add this to my previous bills, I’ll gonna pay them in the bank later. O and the shirt my girl is wearing before she came here that would be pick up by the drummer of our band [Mike] thanks! See you soon.” “Hey! People are looking at me and plus I’m freezing.” I said as I shake his hands. Tumingin lang siya sa akin at tinangal ung leather jacket niya. “Here. Ok ka na?” Sabi niya as he puts on the jacket. Tumango lang ako “Den? Saan tayo pupunta sunod?” tanong ko sa kanya habang naglalakad kami. “Kay Herbie.” “Sino un?” hindi niya ako sinagot hinila ako sa isang salon. Tapos pinaupo ako. “Herbie! Long time no see.” Den said as he hug Herbie, a gay make-up artist and hairstylist. “So what brings you here?” Herbie asked to Den-den “Oh I need you to make a gorgeous girl into the most beautiful lady.” I simply smiled then Herbie looked at me smiling. “There is no problem with that she got natural beauty.” He or she said turning my chair to face the mirror. [i]1 hour later[/i] “Ok if we could just stand up and see you from top to bottom.” Herbie said as he guide me into a big mirror. “So what do you say with my work darling?” “Is this really me? Or you just paste a pretty face in the mirror?” I asked shocked! I never Imagined me would look like this! My hair was not tied into a bun and it was curled in the bottom. God! Is this really me? “Hey! Believe it! You are the most gorgeous girl I’ve ever seen with or without your make-up and curls.” I blushed by looking at myself in the mirror as Denver stand behind me. “So is my date ready?” Rex is here? “Yea she is.” Denver said smiling weakly [u][i]Denver’s POV[/i][/u] They already left. Okay, half an hour to change. Never mind if I get a speeding ticket later “Herbie wears my suit?” I asked him to ready it when Paige was trying out hundreds of clothes “Here Den.” He said while handing me the suit. [i]Change....Change....Change[/i] “Thanks for everything Herbie!” I said while running out the building. geez! 10 minutes! Okay! I’m safe! Wala pa sina Rex. Run I opened the door of the gym! Hinihingal na ako. “Dude, get to your place!” Mike said smiling at me because of my face sweaty. “Yea! going!” “And fix yourself!” I went up behind the spotlight. Actually I wanted to do that. Keith was beside me, he was the mysterious announcer. Well his voice was disguised. “Hey ready your spotlight.” Mike said through a walkie-talkie There she is the most gorgeous girl in the world. She was surprised for this, I’m sure about that. “It is not hard to fall in love with her.” I was shocked by Keith asking such questions I just kept my duty on the spotlight as I listen to what he was saying. “Look at her, she is gorgeous, smart, an angel. What more can you ask for?” He said smiling at me. “So you fallen for her?” “No. Unfortunately no but I wish I did.” He said looking at her. “I never thought you would say that.” Keith? Saying things like this? “Believe it, so take care of her... I know you two are good with each other ” At hindi na ako nakasagot kasi nagsasalita na siya baka marinig boses ko. Childish to mature= Keith [i][u]Paige’s POV[/u][/i] As I enter the gym. Rex smiled at me this is like the old time when he ask me to go to the gym. What day is it today anyway? O God! It is my birthday! In all important dates in my life, birthday pa ang nakalimutan ko! I am already inside the gym sitting in the corner of the stage where Mike told me to sit. “Hey sissy! Happy Birthday!” I looked behind me my sister and my Dad is here and Denver’s family. I was like teary-eyed because I haven’t seen my Dad for 2 years now. Hug here, hug there. All my classmates and group mates are here! Each of them dance for me, sing for me, and some leave messages that really made me cry. Then the mysterious voice coming from nowhere said. “Do you like the surprise?” “Hey who organized this party?” I said crying and laughing for being so dramatic. “You’ll know who, very soon.” he said laughing, why do they need to disguise their voice. Then someone tapped from behind me. “Keith?” I said confused. “Yes it is me ” he said with his disguised voice. I hugged him and he removed the gadget that disguises his voice. “Um What am I going to say? Okay, you are one special girl, and your fiancé is very lucky to have you. Thanks for the change you bring me, you made me realize things I shouldn’t do. Thanks for that Paige!” He said while hugging me. “Mike!” I said as I see him entering. “Okay let’s make this plain, Thanks for changing the way my band mates look the way life is. And most importantly thanks for making our childish groupy in a mature one.” Mike said laughing. “Happy Birthday girl! Thanks for the chance but I’m giving you up, I’ll never have you. I love you!” Rex said smiling then laughed “Guys who organized this one?!” I shouted at them three “I did!” I looked at my back and I saw Denver jumping from the spotlight. Then he handed me plastic roses. “Plastic?” I said disappointed. [b][i]”True roses wilt and die. Plastic roses last forever as long as you preserve it like our love for you that is forever. Happy Birthday best.”[/i][/b]
