New Year's Eve

"Ah.." Emma immediately realized her gesture, and then, laughed back at Calvin. She had to be innocent and clueless so that Calvin wouldn't be suspicious of her. "You're right. Actually, I was just looking for something to talk about.. Haha.."

"Ow.. Sorry if it made you feel awkward. I'm not really good at finding a topic. I'm embarrassed to make you do that." He rubbed half of his face with one hand.

Actually, Emma felt guilty because it was her lie that made Calvin feel guilty. However, she had no other choice. 'I'm sorry Calvin..' Emma said in her heart.

BAM!! SPATTER…

Calvin and Emma flinched when they heard the explosion-like sound. They immediately looked up into the sky to see the remnants of the sparks from the fireworks that had just exploded. Soon, other fireworks began to follow to decorate the night sky.

"Wow.. It's beautiful." Emma muttered as she looked up at the sky, didn't know where the fireworks came from.
