PART 2 : CUPID'S POWER
I woke up alone laying on the bench. I look around but can't find anyone.
Laurent
He really thought he could make me forget him.
Laurent
Sorry Mr. Cupid. I can't that's why I'm trying to get to know you more.
I look down from the rooftop where I'm standing.
I saw him watching a guy proposing to his girlfriend.
Boy
Will you marry me Love?
Girl
I can't believe you're actually doing it.
Boy
I told you, I will marry you my love.
The girl looks undecided. She loves him but there's something preventing her from accepting her lover's proposal.
Raven
She doesn't need to think twice.
Raven walks past the girl and in a blink of an eye, the girl said yes.
Laurent
The girl loves the boy but...
Laurent
...sadly, not to the point that she will cheat on him with his best friend.
Laurent
She's undecided because she's pregnant and he doesn't know about it.
Laurent
That stupid Cupid really base his judgement by human's feelings not what they're thinking.
How did I know? Simply, I can read someone's thoughts but not him.
I watch him walk away but shock swallows my whole system when he looks back at me.
Raven
Why is she looking at me?
Raven
I already made her forget me.
Raven
Why can't I feel her feelings?
Laurent
What is he thinking?
Laurent
I'm sure he can't read mind because if he can, why would he let the girl accept the proposal then?
Laurent
Why can't I read his mind?
I just stare at him trying to read his mind, but I can't.
Raven
Sorry Miss, I don't need love.
I sigh when he looks away. It's the first time I am disappointed that I can't read someone's thoughts.
I was about to leave when a guy's voice called me by my name.
Charles
I look for you everywhere.
Laurent
Why would you do that?
Charles
Because I care for you.
Charles
I can't just chill why you're missing.
Charles
You're not in school that's why.
Laurent
School's not my house.
Laurent
Well, I was about to leave before you came.
Charles
I'm so glad that we're still together.
Charles
Happy 1st month of love!
Charles
You're my girlfriend and I'm your boyfriend.
Charles
We're in a relationship, Laurent.
Charles
Last month, that's why we're celebrating our first month.
Charles
You said yes when I asked you if I could court you.
Laurent
Yes, you can court me but I didn't say yes to being your girlfriend.
Charles
What's the difference?
Laurent
You can't even tell the difference.
Laurent
I'm not shocked anymore.
I left him behind and walked down the stairs but stopped when I saw someone.
Raven
You can't love someone.
Laurent
What are you doing here?
Laurent
And when did you come up here?
Laurent
I saw you leave down there.
Laurent
I'm Laurent and I can read people's thoughts.
He at looks me in the eye and my world turns upside down. I feel like I'm falling in space. I can't stand straight as if there's a big earthquake happening.
Raven
Laurent, who are you?
That's what the last words I heard from him before I lost my consciousness.
Laurent
It's worse than I thought.
