It's the first day of school, and I'm late again. I walked towards my assigned class room, and when I got there, I knocked on the door and greeted my teacher.

"Good morning ma'am sorry I'm late, may I come in?"

"Come in Dela." the teacher replied.

When I went inside, I instantly saw Valory, my best friend, and went beside her.

"So?" Val said while smirking.

"What do you mean 'So'?" I asked curiously.

But then she just smiled at me, and pointed at the other direction. I turned my head, and I looked to where she was pointing at, and there I saw Jim, my ultimate crush.

"Oh my god we're in the same class." I said softly after facing Val while blushing.

So for the whole morning class I was blushing, and I kept staring at him, and when it was already time for lunch, I was too excited that I even forgot to bring my wallet.

"Hey Val, can you wait for me? I have to go back, I forgot my wallet."

"Sure, I'll wait for you."

So I walked through the corridors, and and slowly opened the door as I got to our room, and then when I was about to slowly go in, someone rapidly took my hand, making me stumble and fall.

At the moment, I was sitting on the floor holding my head, and when I looked up to see who it was, I saw Jim. He kneeled slowly infront of me, and my heart was beating louder than usual.

"I'm sorry, I thought you were someone else."

"It's fine, I unders_" and before I could even finish what I was about to say, he leaned forward with both of his hands on the floor behind me, leaving only 1cm for our nose to touch, and my eyes as big as it can be.

"You look so cute when you blush, and I noticed that awhile ago."

I was so stunned that I wasn't even able to get up even when he was gone for 5 minutes. But then I continued to mind my own business and try to forget about the happening.

"Dela Tores!!!"

I looked to the side and saw Val looking angry.

"Geez I've been calling your name for like 5 times already, what's wrong with you?"

"Nothing, let's just go home already."

So we went home together, but I was quiet the whole time, thinking, 'Did he really mean it?'

When I got home, my parents greeted me happily, so happy that it's already wierd.

"Mom, dad, what's up, why are you guys so happy?"

"You do know that your birthday will be next week."

"And?"

"We are allowing you to have a boyfriend."

"What?! Yessss! Finally. Thank you so much."

"But, we will choose who he is, so that means you will have an arranged boyfriend."

"It's so unfair, I want to choose. So who is it?"

"You will know on your birthday."

So today I decided to tell my bff about my parents plan, and maybe get ab advice.

As I walk through the corridors on the way to my room, I saw Jim, and guess what, he is literally kneeling down in one knee infront of my bestfriend Val.

I rapidly walked towards her and asked what's going on.

"Oh Dela, he asked me to be his girlfriend." Val said happily.

"So what did you say?" I asked curiously.

"Ofcourse yes."

I didn't know what happened next, but my tears just started falling when I started running away. After running away, I found myself standing infront of my house.

'Maybe I could just agree to my parents, maybe it would stop my heart from aching.' I thought to myself.

'Wait, I could probably use him to make Val and Jim jealous.'

I went inside my house, talked to my parents, and agreed to their proposal. I went back to class and saw them sitting beside each other, but I just smiled at Val and sat at another chair, that is far away from her.

After the class, Val came to me.

"Dela, I know that you love him, and I love you too, but I also love Jim, and he chose me not you, so please, don't make it harder than it is."

"Val, you're my best friend, I respect you. I know that my dreams will only be dreams, so I decided to give up for you."

After the conversation, I decided not to tell Val about my parents proposal.

So as the days go by, my birthday keeps getting nearer, my feelings for Jim starts to fly away, and both Val and Jim keep getting closer, except for today. Val and Jim had a fight, and I wanted to comfort my best friend, so I went beside her.

"Val, what's going on?"

"Jim said he wanted us to done." Val said while crying.

"Do you know why?"

"He said he wants me to move on before he goes away to America."

I called Jim to talked with us in a private place, and he came by himself.

"Jim, I know that you want her to move on, but can't you two just enjoy whats left of your time? It hurts me to see my bestfriend suffering, so please, come back to her."

"I thought you want to be mine?"

"I did Jim, but I want my best friend to be happy more than I want you."

At the end of the day, they got back from each other.

Although my feelings haven't fully moved on, but I am looking forward to my birthday.

《Dela's birthday》

Today is my birthday, and we are already in the venue, we sang a song, open some gifts, and ate some foods.

"Mom, when will my boyfriend come?"

"He is almost here honey."

《After 2 hours》

"Mom is he here yet?"

"He will come out of that door in 3, 2, 1."

"Mom, where is he?"

"He's right infront of you."

At that moment, I was too shocked to respond to the truth that I am arranged to.

"Jim."

"Hey there princes, can I have a dance with you?"

"Sure."

After taking his hand, we danced with each other for almost an hour with no words coming out of my mouth.

"Are you ok?"

"What? Oh, yeah."

"You don't look like you're fine."

"Let's talk somewhere else."

I grabbed his hand and we went to a place where no one can see us. I looked around the place before finally deciding to speak.

"So is this the reason why you left Val?"

It was silent at first, but then he knoded, and I don't know why, but it made me a bit sad.

"I really like you, and I was happy that you were the one who showed up, but Val loves you, and I don't want to be the reason for someone else's broken heart, and I don't think it's fair for Val. So as much as I love you, I want the both of you to follow your hearts so I'll tell my parents to refuse this thing we are about tonstart."

When I was about to turn away, he pulled my hand he put his hand on the wall beside me. He slowly moved closer to me, and my mind tells me to stop it, but my heart beats so fast that I can't even move.

He gave me a peck and I saw his eyes full of lust, so I decided to kiss him back, but when I gave him a peck, he kissed me back with an even harder kiss that instantly changed into a french kiss.

'I know I shouldn't be doing this for the sake of Val, but he has the right for I am his girlfriend, and I don't know why I can't stop.' I thought to myself.

He was still kissing, and I was going with the flow. We were both moaning already, but I didn't notice until I suddenly felt his hand on my but, pressing it softly under my dress, and at that moment, I found myself leaning on the walls with my left leg wrapped on his hips, my hands on hi head and his mouth sucking my neck resulting on leaving a mark. I pushed him away from me and we stared at each other.

"Why did you stop me?" Jim said with anger.

"I-I, I don't think it's right for us to do this."

"So when and where do you wanna do it?"

"What are yo_" I was about to ask him when I suddenly heard a bottle tumbling.

I turned around and saw my aunt at the door staring at us.

"Oh my dear Della, if that was all you ever wanted, there's a spare room next door, and it was meant for you, so don't worry, I wont tell anyone."

Me and Jim stared each other before my aunt pulled us and brought us to the room she was talking about. My aunt went out the door and locked us in.
