1. Damn!

"..And if we did?" "What?" He was speechless. She pulls her hand away from his grasp and rubs her wrist. She looks away from him. "You don't need to take responsibility of what happen last night." She looks at him. "What I want is your heart." He was stunned. "I'm running late. See you around, Senpai."

She walks away and let him stand there, dumbfounded. He replays what she had said to him. ("What I want is your heart." "Your heart.") "EHHHHHHH?!!!!" He bends down with both of his hands covering his face. (W-why would she say such embarrassing things?)

Every since then, she always greet him every day, before and after school. He's grown casually close to her. One day, they plan to watch a movie which both of them are dying to see. She stands in front of the movie theater and wait for him. As time goes by, he never show up. She walks home and decides to check on him. She lightens up as soon as she sees him; however, she sees a woman standing behind him. He shouted, "It's also my business since I'm her boyfriend." She was shocked.

The thunder rolling in. Heavy rain starting to pour down. She was all soaked. She turns her heels and slowly walks home. Her heart was in pain. As soon as she got home, she leans against the door, slide down, hugging herself. (What should I do to make you look at me...? Don't you know how much I love you, Senpai? You're really....a bad man..)

Next morning, she walks to school with a heavy heart. "Ella!" She turns around and sees Enrique, who was waving at her. She turns her head and ignores him. He quickly chase right after her. "Hey. About yesterday.." She cuts in, "It's alright. I wasn't there anyways. I got things to do." "Ah..I see..well I'll make it up to you." She stops her tracks and look at him. "Senpai." "Hm?" She wanted to ask him about yesterday but at the same time she doesn't want to hear what he might say. "Never mind." "..Okay.."

A group of girls comes towards them. One of them calls Enrique out, "Enrique." Both of Ella and Enrique turns to the direction and sees a group of girls. Ella recognized one of them who calls Enrique out. "Ah. Misty." Enrique left Ella's side and head towards Misty. Ella just watch him leave and watch him talking to her. She then calls Enrique. "Enrique." He turns and said, "Ah. Right. This is Misty and she is my best friend, Ella." The word of best friend sting Ella's heavy heart.

Misty greets Ella. Ella greets her back and turns to Enrique. "Enrique, hurry up or we'll be late." "Ah. Right." He looks at Misty. "See you later." "Okay." Misty smiles at him. Ella bit her lower lip and turns her heels to leave him behind. "Ah. Ella." Enrique chases right after her. (Stupid. Stupid Enrique.) When class ended, Enrique finds Ella who was sitting down, studying. "Hey." She looks up and sees him.

She lowers her eyes on her book. "What is it?" "There's something I wanted to say." She was holding her breath. "What is it?" She looks at him. "I....I got a girlfriend." Ella's heart drops. "..What?" "Misty. You met her early this morning. She asked me out and I.." "You like her?" He blushes which causes Ella's in pain. She closed her book and smile at him. "I'm happy for you." "Really?" She grabs her bag and left. "Thanks Ella." Ella was holding back her tears.

Later that night, Ella was getting some ramen noodles to eat for dinner. On her way out, she sees Misty with another man which they were linking arms. (Whaa?! She's dating Enrique, yet she's flirting with other men?) She snaps back and act like she didn't see it. "Hmph. Not my problem. It's his." She returns to her apartment and couldn't help but worry about Enrique. She wasn't able to sleep at all. She grabs her cellphone and text Enrique.

Ella: Hey, you still awake?

A few minutes later, he replies, "Yes. Still studying."

Ella: Okay.

He has a gut feeling that she's not in a good mood. "What's wrong?"

She wanted to tell him what she had seen but doesn't want him to hate her or feel sad. Instead she ask, "If I told you something serious, would you believe me?" He laughs at her text message. "What the heck she would ask me that?"

He replies, "Of course. I believe you." She replies back, "Okay. You promised so you better hold the responsibility." He chuckles at her response. "What's this?"

A few days later, Ella often witness Misty hanging with the same man which she once saw the other day. Ella stands outside to wait for Misty to come out of the love hotel. Misty and her lover part ways. Ella then grabs Misty and push her against the brick wall. "Ah!" Misty sees Ella in front of her. "E-Ella...I didn't see you here." Ella bluntly asked, "You...seeing another man when you're dating Enrique?" Misty flinched. "W-What?" Ella showed her the video on her cellphone of Misty and her lover making love in the hotel. Misty was shocked. "Y-You....how.."

"Three days. I will give you three days to decide which man you're keeping and the other man, you better break your engagement with him. I won't tolerate anyone who would hurt him." Ella turns her heels and left Misty there who was shaken in fear. When Monday comes, Ella heading to the library. "Ella." She turns around and sees Enrique, "Enrique, what is it?"

Enrique was making a frustrated expression. Ella wasn't sure what he was thinking. (Did she broke up with him? What's going on?) He looks at her. "...Did you threaten Misty to break up with me?" Ella was shocked how he bluntly asks her that. "What?" He looks away as he rubs his neck. "I know. I was shocked when she told me that. I didn't believe it at first, then she starts crying and shaken in fear." Ella clench her hands. "...So...you believe her since she cried into your arms?" He looks at Ella.

Ella was making a painful expression. "Ella." He reaches his hand out to her. "I did tell her to break up with you." He stops and was in shocked. "What? Why?" "You should ask her for the details." Ella walk pass him. He grabs her hand to stop her from going. "We're not done." She pulls her hand away from him. "I got nothing to say." "You're not apologizing?" "To whom? You? Or her? If you want me to apologize to her, then dream on." "Ella!" She shouted, "This is your answer!" She looks at him. "Thanks for NOT keeping the promise." She turns her heels and walk off. Enrique stood there and leans against the wall. "Damn!"
