Act IX: Now I'm going to let you go from inside me , I have to be a little stronger so I don't shed tears.

Edward cleared his throat to gain everyone's attention, which is successful as they stopped talking, "Today is the last day of our practice and tomorrow will be our play to occurred. I want everyone to stay focus and i don't want some distractions." he eyed the couple beside him,

"Did I state myself clear?" he firmly asked, Trixie rolled her eyes then kiss her boyfriend's lips before leaving, Gabriel tried to hold Edward from attacking the lady, "But how about this two," she pointed Cupid who massaging Jacob' shoulder and George that sitting comfortably on Edward's chair.

"Mr. Sandoval role is important than us, so we really don't want some distractions and these two is our friends that's why I'm sure they won't cause any problem." he explained.

Trixie had no choice but to leave, she glared at me and bumped into my shoulders before leaving, I winced as I felt the pain but Keisha weakened her leg, and I chuckled weakly as she nearly fell down and clawed her face on the ground, disgusted that she couldn't take revenge on us, I know Trigo witnessed it, but I ignore him.

The practice has to halt for a minute, everyone gave their best especially my friend, Cupid keep encouraging Noah and Jacob while George was talking to Edward giving some criticism, I still haven't meet his boyfriend because I was shock when he confess on me last time and i have a gut feeling that his boyfriend is one of my classmates. "Sky to earth," I shouted as someone whispered in my ears, now I got embarrass as everyone attention was on me.

Asher laughs holding his tummy, he really found it funny and I'm just glaring at him. "Would you stop laughing or I strangle you to death." he immediately shut his mouth, act like zipping eat. "What do you want?" I blankly as him, he undo what he did before talking to me, "I just want to visit you, are you done here?" he asked seeing we didn't do anything, "Ed, give us 15 minutes break then return later," I answered, his expression change from cheerful to being sad, "What a pity, i couldn't take you on a date," He whispered making me smile, I remember he told me that he will pay for letting him sleep in my room with a small date. "I'll be free later, would you like to stay here and watch our practice?" he suddenly smile telling me yes he would wait.

Edward called us to practice again, I told him to sit beside Cupid which he already know because my friend is part of the student council that why they always meet. George nudge me, "What's the status between you and that guy? Is the one you like? tell me" he said in a hush tone, I shake my head. "We're just friends, if i like him; Im going to tell you about it okay" I said before proceed on my place.

Edward thanks us for participating, we also thank him, the practice has ended. Asher gave me a thumbs up and praising my acting. "I didn't know you are a good actor, I'm pretty sure someday you'll be one of the stars in the industry." he said, I smiled and thank him.

He was helping me to pack my things when suddenly his phone ring, "Oh duty calls, I'll answer this a bit." he muttered before leaving, I continue packing and remove the wig on my head. "So he was your new boyfriend?" Trigo suddenly come near me. I look at him. "If he was, what the matter with you, Mr. Sandoval?" I asked trying to ignore him, he smirked. "Really you keep calling me on my surname." I rolled my eyes, "what should i call you? we're not friends anymore." i was about to leave when he hold my hand to pull me towards him.

"Let me go you bastard!" i cried, trying to escape from him but he held me tightly. "I'm still your friend Sky, you said you won't waste the three years of our friendship." he said.

Noah and my other friends came near which Trigo immediately let go of my hand, " What's happening here? is he hurting you?" Cupid ask glaring at Trigo, I massage my hand; Im pretty sure it will leave a mark. "Nothing." I said "l have to go, Asher and I still have a date." Edward nodded letting me go first, I meet Asher outside when he was about to return back inside, "Good thing you're here, Let's go." I nodded as an agreement,

"Here, try it, I'm sure it's great," he said as he shoved a spoonful of gelatin cake into my lips; he said it was the best seller here, so I tried it; we're currently in a café near the university. I tasted it right away and gave him a thumbs up, and he smiled.

"Has Trigo talked to you yet? I sensed tension between you and him, especially your friends," he remarked. "It seems ambiguous when we get back together again, especially what he did this morning, proving to us we can't get along anymore," I shook my head then replied to him. "Trixie is spreading some false rumors about you, I heard from Cupid," he said, laughing.

That was actually my friend blabbering. "Let it go, everyone knows they aren't real," I said as I drank the matcha milkshake I'd ordered earlier. We lingered for a few moments before deciding to pay and then depart. "Come back here, son," the old owner urged as he handed me my takeout. With a bow, I thank you, as does Asher.

We were about to leave when the door opened, Trigo and Trixie were also coming in, Asher pulled me, "let's just go through the back door while they haven't seen us yet," he whispered, then the old man talked to him if it could be done right away agreed, even before we left I looked at Trigo first, he was also looking in the right direction, so I immediately avoided.

"Come on Sky, I still have night class," I said, following Asher, who kept my hand till we exited. "That guy looks miserable, following his girlfriend's orders," he commented as we began going to campus, noticing Trixie's behavior.

"I don't know him yet, there are many others... I'm also here," I muttered quietly as Asher came to a halt and I bumped with him behind him. "Are you saying something?" he asked, and I shook my head.

We continued walking, and when we arrived at the university, he informed me that he was going to his class, while I went home to my dorm. As I arrive I saw Michael leaning on the wall next to my door.

"What are you doing here?" I said, he stood up properly, then handed me his bento, "I brought foods? Let's simply eat here in your dorm, you look like you just came from a date," he was joking when he saw the box I was holding because it was full of strawberry shortcakes, I grinned.

"You look insane, come on and suddenly I'm hungry again," I opened the door for him to follow, he placed the food on the table; I instantly seized the dishes and utensils, "What did you bring?" I asked. "Your favorites, I know you sometimes want to like the ones related to strawberries, This is your favorite," he waved two venti size strawberry milkshakes, my eyes widened, I had been craving that flavor of milkshake for a few days but couldn't buy it because they were always there, I took it from Michael.

"Thank you, Chael," I said, and he was taken aback when I called him by his nickname. "What? you don't want me to call you by your nickname Chael?" I asked, and he shook his head. "No, I was completely overwhelmed."
