The next morning...

"BOSS!"

Yulo yelled with a surprised face when he saw her came out of her room 

"I was looking for you last night. I even tried to call you many times"

"I came home late" she said "How was the Ball?"

"It was good. I saw you danced last night, you were great"

They went down to the kitchen

"You were watching me?" 

"Not just me, everyone"

"Oh boy. Do you know that my partner was Dyle?

"Dyle?!" He almost spilled his coffee "I didn't expect that guy to be Dyle"

"Yeah me neither until--" she stopped

She remember the kiss they shared last night 

"Until what?"

"Until I saw his face"

"He was more confident last night"

"I know right?" She sipped her coffee too

"What about Deo? Was he at the ball?"

"He was" 

"You saw him?"

"I saw a different guy. He's interesting, I want to know him more"

"You saw a different guy? I'm confused you said you saw Deo"

She put her cup down "I'm not in the mood to explain. I'll go change now"

It took her 1 hour and 15 minutes to prepare

She did a lot ok? Don't judge

.

[School]

"Hey Ju-- what's wrong with you?" She asked because he immediately frowned when he saw her face

"What do you want?"

"Why do you always have that look on your face whenever you see me?"

Jun faked a smile "You want this one?"

"Why not? Looks fake but cute" she playfully pinched his nose

"Aw stop!" He said while rubbing it

"I didn't even pinched it that hard"

"Seriously, what do you want? You only come to me when you need something"

"That's not true"

"Why are you here?"

"I need to know your friend's whereabouts.  Where is he?"

"See?"

"What"

"Deo is not here. He's planning to join the car racing but he'll be here after lunch"

"Send me the address"

"Why are you so bossy?"

"Send me the address. Please"

He smiled "Good Girl" then clicked send

.

.

*TING*

She looked at her phone, he did the same

 

~ New Message from Mr. ~

"Hey! Change my name!" 

"Why so bossy?"

"Change my name please!"

"You sound mad. Are you mad?"

"Change my name please"

She smiled back "Good Boy" but she will not do that "I gotta go"

"Change That Okay?" He shouted 

"Yeah sure whatever"

She was about to go to the address but Dyle saw her and stopped her

"Celine"

"Dan"

"Good Morning"

"Morning"

"How was your Aunt?"

That was the excuse she made yesterday 

"Better now. How was the Ball?"

He touched his lips. Everything that happened last night flashed back, her mask, the y dance, especially the hot kiss "It was great"

He smiled unconsciously and she knows why

"DYLE!!" Chan and Yong run towards them "Dyle look at this!"

Yong gave him the phone, it has a video of Dyle kissing a girl

"She was the one you danced with right?" 

"Yes" he told Chan "Who posted this?"

"What's that?" She tried to take it from him, Dyle moved it away but she still manage to take it anyways

"What the " she said and looked at Dyle

He got surprised of her reaction too. He took the phone and gave it back to Yong "Celine it's not what you think it's--"

"Dyle you don't have to explain" said Yong "She's not your girlfriend"

"I know that. Obviously she's not. I never said she was. Celine don't mind Yong he's--- what!"

The 3 of them are looking at him in an weird way. Like... why are you explaining?

"What's with the look?" He asked 

"Nothing" 

"Nothing"

Mazekin didn't say anything, she just smiled 

"You people are weird" he said before he leave 

"Your friend is funny" she said and left the two

 

She went upstairs for a fresh air. She totally forgot about going to Deo because of that video

To: Yulo
You probably saw the video. I need you to take it down   

She took her cigarette out but

"Celine"

She had to hide it back

"Crystal"

She's alone and she's not in a good mood

"How was the Ball Celine?"

"I should be the one asking. You were there"

"And so were you"

"I don't know what you're talking about"

She crossed her arms "Really?"

"Yes" 

Maze turned her back but Crystal made her face her again by grabbing her arm  

"I Saw Everything!" She's really mad, she tightened her grip "You Told Me You Will Help Me Get Him!"

"Let go" she said calmly but Crystal didn't listen

"We had a deal Celine!"

"Yes but did you do your part? I don't think so"

"You Snake!" She slapped her with full force 

'This Mother er' Mazekin couldn't take it anymore 

She wiped her bleeding lips and aggressively grabbed Crystal by the chin "Listen you , I owe you nothing. I don't give a damn about your stupid love . You hear me?"

Crystal was too astounded to answer

"You hear me?!!"

"Y-yes"

"I'm not a snake. Don't mess with me because I'm worse than you think"

Mazekin let go of her and walked away like nothing happened

Crystal clinched her fist 'I'm not a loser' she said to herself

She followed Mazekin and when she saw her going down the stairs, she pushed her

.

.

*BLAG*

.

.

She fell from 2nd floor to 1st floor

"Oh my god!"

"Is she okay?"

"Let's bring her to the clinic"

"She's not moving"

"Crystal!" Deo tried to wake her up but shes's unconscious. He looked up and see Mazekin "WHAT DID YOU DO?!"

Now everyone's looking at her. She didn't like all the eyes that are judging her so she went up to the 2nd floor but Deo followed her

"CELENE!" he's too angry. He grabbed her "WHY DID YOU DO THAT!"

"I didn't"

"LIAR!"

This is a good time for Mazekin to enjoy this moment because it affected him this much but... she's not liking it

"Maze!" Yulo pushed Deo away from her "Are you alright?"

"Celine! I need you to go to my office! NOW!" 

She followed the Principal 

.

.

[Principal's Office]

"Did you do it?"

"Of course not. She was going to push me. She did that to herself"

"If she was going to push you, why did she fell and not you?"

"Because she's stupid"

"Celine, I know Crystal.  She's not like that. She don't push people just because she wants to"

"She did unfortunately"

"Celine! I need to talk to your parents"

"What for?"

"Because-- Where are you going? I'm not done talking to you! Celine!"

She left the office. She didn't go to her classes too

===

[Hospital]

Crystal's finally awake "Where am I?"

"You're at the Hospital" said Lia, the only friend who was worried for her 

"My arm..."

"Crystal what happened? Why did she do that to you?"

"She was supposed to be here not me!"

"What do you mean?"

"That snake! I was going push her but she moved to the side! I lost my balance"

"We should tell the Principal about it, they're accusing her of what happened to you"

"Really? That's great!"

"What?"

"Are they going to kick her out?"

"I don't know. I heard the Principal asked for her parents to come. Then they will see what will be her consequence"

"Great. Did Dyle visit me?"

"No"

"Ugh" 

"I'lljust go get some coffee" Lia closed the door when she came out of the room

She got surprised when she saw Deo standing on the side "Are you here to visit her?"

He shook his head no and started walking away

He went back to the school to look for Mazekin but in every classes, she's not there

"Where is she? Do you know?" Deo asked Jun

"No. Do you want me to ask her?"

"No! Wait you have her number? Why do you have her number?"

d0_0b 

"Why? Because... because she asked for my number? And she said... she said she wants to ask me out--not date but like she... I don't know she kinda sorta like me in a way. It's hard to explain dude"

[Ice Cream Cafe]

"1 Mocha"

Without looking at her, Dyle gave her the vanilla ice cream

She swiped her card then he gave her the receipt 

"Thank you" he said "Come again--"

"I don't like Vanilla" she said

"Sorry I-- Celine! What are you doing here?"

"You didn't give me a discount. Was it just your marketing strategy for me to buy an ice cream? I call it a fraud"

He smiled "Sorry. Deep thoughts"

She sit down at the small table, he did too. He have no other customer so he don't need to be in the counter 

"What were you thinking about?"

"Crystal. She's at the hospital right now and I'm not sure if I should visit her"

"I see"

"Did you do it?"

"What do you think?"

"I don't know. You're capable of doing that but I don't think you'll do that"

"Why?"

"Maybe because I don't see you as a bad person?"

"Awww"

"Shut up" he said shyly "oh there's a customer"

He got busy because of the customers.

30 mins later a new guy served thr customers, Dyle's shift is over

"Are you going home now?" She don't want to go to the apartment yet because she'll see Deo there

"No. I'm selling some cookies because I need more income. Would you like to buy some? I only accept cash"

"I don't have cash right now but I can help you sell them"

"Really? You want to help me? I won't say no to that"

They walked 2 blocks away from the cafe. He put the table on the side and placed all the cookies 

"Why here?" She asked

"Why, what's wrong?"

"The location. Let's go somewhere else like in front of a school"

"There are 2 schools nearby. College and elementary school"

"Let's go to the elementary school. They love cookies more"

"Wow. You're so knowledgeable on this! You should have your own business I'm pretty sure you'll earn thousands and thousands"

She earn millions Dyle, millions and millions!

"Cookies" the kid pointed at them, his mom bought 3

"Kiddo you want some cookies?" Mazekin asked the kid looking at them, she's alone

"Yeah I want cookies"

"Ask your Mother or Father to buy you one"

"I only have my grandma, she's home sick"

Mazekin looked at Dyle "She said wants some cookies" 

Dyle gave her one "Here you go"

"Thank you" the kid happily took it but she couldn't open it so Mazekin helped her

"That's how you open it"

"How?"

"You didn't see me? Look... there-- hey look"

"Sorry"

"Here you open it like-- it's hard to open this one give me another one Dan"

"Here you go" Dyle gave her an opened cookie 

"No. I'm trying to teach her how to be independent"

It took her 12 cookies to teach the kid how to open it

"Maria, Katherine, Hannah, Kimberly, Bethany buy some cookies" the kid's friends bought some cookies

The kid actually helped them sell the cookies because she asked her friends to buy the cookies and almost all of the students are her friend

"Wow. We sold them all" Dyle looked so happy

"Thanks to this kid. She have connections" 

"Thank you Mr. Dan and Ms. Celine"

"My name is Dyle"

The kid ignored her. She gave Mazekin a hug

"Bye~"

"Bye Bea" he waved too

"Bye kiddo"

It was 8pm when they get home. Deo was at the sofa, waiting for them

"Dyle" Deo gave him an envelope with a money inside "6,000"

He keeps glancing at her. She noticed but she's avoiding his looks 

*TING*

From: Kiall
Wanna have fun tonight?

"Celine where are you going?"  Dyle asked

"Somewhere"
