Win my heart? What's with him?
“Miss, are you okay?” The waitress asked quietly and reached out the paper. I didn't notice that I already dropped it.
“Y-yes,” She gave me the paper, “Thank you,” I smiled awkwardly.
I read it again.
I'll do everything just to win her heart.
Everything? Boo. What if that everything did not satisfy my expectations?
Why are you asking that to yourself? Didn't you say before that you'll never ever believe him?
Yes, yes. You're right. I don’t believe him and, I don't love him. I don't love him.
B-But… But I don't know.
I returned the paper to him, well not directly, pero nilagay ko nalang yung paper doon sa book na binabasa niya.
I began to get my thoughts winding as I entered the room where my friends were partying.
Does he really have to do that thing? Give me the locket? Then confess?
And, bakit locket pa?
This is just too difficult to handle.
Face the fact; he's legitimately in love with you.
But you just said I shouldn't believe him, I replied to my conscience. Dang, my mind's going crazy. I don't know what to do. >_< But if it was true, what should I do? What? What?!
Okay, let's just face it. He loves me and I don't know if I love him too. Because I'm not very sure if I am. But the main problem is what should I do tomorrow? If he would really continue his plans… Calm down. Calm down? How can I calm down this way when I only have few hours left before the ball!
Should I act? Yes, I'm right. I should act. Act as if nothing happened awhile ago. Okay. Act, Margaret. All you need to is to act.
Ang gaga mo talaga!
“Gee, it's really late. We should be sleeping by now,” He entered the room. He looked so tired.
He looked at me.
Why not look at him, too? Look at him? After what I’ve done?!
“Move,” He stoically said and sat beside me.
Agad naman akong umusog at tuming palayo sa kanya.
—–λ—–
"Margaret. Wake up," Eira whispered, "The boss is announcing something."
I opened my eyes and my ears. Anong boss? Boss sila dyan.
He turned around and said, "I would like you to attend my legal birthday party tomorrow."
Okay. I guess this would be the start of my problem.
You're attending.
Should I? Guess I should.
Eira's driver drove my friends to their respective homes. It was a very long trip. So I slept inside the van for almost three hours since we were thirteen inside the van, and I was the very last one. And it was an advantage for me, of course. I was actually enjoying the cold air from the car for almost three hours. But it was a disadvantage when Aries and Eira exchanged places. We weren't talking. We just kept our mouths shut. Then he broke the silence by handing me his iPOD. Of course, I played my favorite song… but it took me thirty minutes to think about my problem before I finally fell asleep. So there, I fell asleep; knowing that Aries was there, beside me.
The mellow music faded. Then bigla nalang nag-play yung screamo na-song. Napamura tuloy ako, at tila nagising ang kaloob-looban ko.

“Ay shit!”
Then the three of them gave me a stern look, "Sorry," I grinned.
I threw the iPOD to Aries and looked at him disgustingly.
“Leche kasi yan, ang pangit ng song,” I threw my iPOD to him and looked away.
“Hindi kasi alam ang modern era,” he rolled his eyes and placed the earphones inside his ears.
I took my bag and saw the invitation paper that Eira gave to me awhile ago. Since he was about to leave us, at wala naman akong regalo sa kanya, and I think that the invitation card was a trash, I threw it to him.
“Happy Birthday,” I handed him the paper, though it was obviously crumpled.
“Do you think I'll accept that?”
“Of course you will. That's my gift. Won’t you accept it?” I grinned.
And like what I did to his iPOD, I threw the paper again.
“Cheap,” he laughed and then he cleared his throat, “you should give me something more wonderful than that.”
I already knew what he wants. But the main thing is; Am I ready to give it?
