"You don't have to apologize, Boss. But I'll have to take full responsibility for this..." Amaia sadly stated."What happened,Amaia? You don't look good...Do you want to tell me about it?" Boss Lina inquired, and she looks clearly worried."Boss... I think I'm in love with Kei. The reason why I asked you not to print my article about him is because I want to tell him everything myself... I don't want to hurt and betray the man that I love." Amaia finally confesses, as starts to break down and cry."Oh, Amaia... I really don't know what to say. But one thing's for sure... It's not a bad thing to fall in love with someone. You must be thinking that you're such a bad person for leading him on, but if he also loves you, he will find forgiveness in his heart." Boss Lina relayed, while giving Amaia a comforting hug."I love him so much, and it hurts like hell! I'll do everything and anything that I can for him to forgive me." Amaia said, as she was getting more and more emotional.She's wil
Few weeks have passed.Amaia took a deep breath, while looking at the boxes full of her things inside the truck. She's going to move to another place, and she will transfer to a new apartment to start a new life. She decided to move somewhere else to forget what has happened to her in the recent months...She will also miss her old apartment unit. She will miss everything about this place. The people, the atmosphere, well, she will miss everything and everyone here!She will also miss everyone at her office. She never told everyone about her plan to move to another place. She doesn't want to bother them, as she wants to start everything from the scratch... The truck driver started the engine. She's now making her way to her new location..."Goodbye to my old life... Goodbye, everyone... And goodbye, Kei..." Amaia whispered to herself. =========================MORSE's Three-Month Nationwide Concert Tour is finally over.They are currently at a Press Conference, as they are about t
The photoshoot finally ended at wee hours in the morning. Everyone's tired and weary, but they are satisfied and contented with the outcome of the photoshoot..."Good work for today, everyone!" the staff and crew greeted each other."Thank you all for your hardwork today!" Amaia smilingly replied as well.When everyone was finally gone, Amaia took a deep breath while looking around. As an apprentice, it's her job to clean and keep all the equipments. She's thinking that she'll be going home by morning, but it doesn't really matter to her because she loves doing her job.And she's hoping that one day, she'll become a famous photographer and writer as well."Good work for today, Amaia." Boss Olivia, her Boss greeted her, along with her own secretary."Thank you very much, Boss." Amaia replied, in a polite manner."By the way. How many years have you been working in my company?" Boss Olivia suddenly asks her."It's been two years, Boss Olivia." Amaia calculated."Hmm. It's quite long alr
"I've been living in London for the passed two years, Amaia. I left the country not because of you, but the main reason for my departure is because of my mother. She had leukemia, and I had to be with her..." he explains."If you don't mind me asking, how is your mother now?" Amaia asks again."It has been a year since my mother passed away." "Oh... I-I'm so sorry." Amaia sincerely stated."You asked me awhile ago what am I doing here... Well, let me answer that question as well. You see, I want to give this book to the woman who has been on my mind and my heart for the passed two years. I want to make her fall in love with me for real, and not just for reel." Kei explained, while giving the book to Amaia.Amaia gasped softly when she read the title of the book."My Girl, Amaia."Kei wrote this book for her!"Can you turn the book to the last page?" Kei softly said.Amaia slowly opened the book and looked at the last page... She then saw a velvet blue box in a square whole inside th
"Well, okay. I feel suffocated here anyway." Kate finally agrees, but deep inside, she's not letting her guard down. "After you..." Kei smiling asks her to lead the way. They were greeted by the early night wind as they walk their way to the wide road. They finally switched on all the lamp posts so the road are all lighted up. At the same time, there were some roaming security around the area, so she feels a bit safer. "Feels nice to finally get out here, huh?" Kate heard him speak again. "I have to admit, yeah." she replied. "I saw you at the party awhile ago and you look obviously bored. I feel the same way too. Those people bored me to tears trying to look cool to others, and they just want to be the center of attention. Pfft! Once they know about the harsh reality of life, they won't be as cool as they think they are..." Kei said, while shrugging his shoulders. "Well, let's just let them be. The reason why I transferred to the big city is because I want to finish my studies,
Kate is currently at the Cafeteria, and she's waiting for Kei. Kei wanted to celebrate his acceptance at Waldorf University's basketball team, so he promised that he will treat her.Kei just dropped by his dorm to take a quick shower and change his clothes."Look, isn't that the girl who was talking with Kei at the gymnasium?" she heard someone talking about her at the nearby table."Oh,yes, that's her! What's her relationship with Kei? Is she his girlfriend?" she heard another woman's voice."What the heck are you talking about? That's impossible. I mean just look at her! She's not fashionable, her face is below average and it's obvious that she doesn't have class! There's nothing special about her!" one of the girls stated.Kate closed her eyes, while counting one to ten to calm herself down. There's no point arguing with these snobby girls. She doesn't want to waste her time and energy just to go on a catfight with them..."Hi, Kate! Have you been waiting long?" she suddenly heard
Kei was about to answer the question when the Manager of Le Coup de Foudre Coffee Shop suddenly appeared infront of them."What's going on here, Kate? What's the commotion all about?" Mr. Burton tries to grill them."Just a little misunderstanding, Sir. Everything's under control." Kate tries to cover everything up."No, sir. Everything's not okay! As a customer, I have complaints!" Chelsea suddenly said, while looking like a victim."Is there something wrong?" the manager asks."You're employee here started saying bad things about me and my friends! She told us that we don't belong here!" Chelsea started weaving lies."That's true, Sir. We were just enjoying our coffee here and she started saying bad words to us." Jessica lied, without blinking."She called us "bitch!" Jenny added to the lie."They're all lying---!" Kei tried to defend Kate, but he wasn't able to do so because the Manager spoke again."Enough! The customers are coming now, and I don't have time to further discuss abo
"Well, you just woke up at a perfect time. I just finished processing your release papers and the doctor gave us the go signal to go home. We'll just have to wait for the nurse to pull out your dextrose." responded Kei.After a few minutes, a nurse came to her bed and helped her pulled out the needle from her hand that was connected to the dextrose.Afterwards, Kate saw her clothes folded neatly at the side table."I'll just do a quick change to the bathroom." she informed Kei. She got her clothes, and she made her way to the nearest bathroom.After a few moments, Kate went back to where she left Kei. She saw him waiting for her patiently..."Thanks for helping me. So, how much do I owe you?" she asked him.Kei curiously frowned at her."What are you talking about?" "Let's not waste our time here. How much did you pay for my hospital bill?" Kate asked again, as she was getting more impatient."Look, you don't have to worry about it, Kate." Kei stated.Kate's really tired of having l
Few days quickly passes by.At a certain coffee shop. Clarissa doesn't have any idea why their choreographer, Jun wanted to talk to her privately, but she decided to meet up with him because it seems like they need to talk about something serious..."Clarissa... I really don't know how to say this to you." Jun started, in a worried manner."What do you mean, Sir?" Clarissa curiously asked in return.Jun took a deep breath before he spoke again."First of all, I want you to know that you're a very good dancer, and I don't have any hatred to you or anything. It's just that with all of the crazy things that have been happening between you and Toru, the President of their talent agency came up with a decision to completely remove you as MORSE's back-up dancer." he solemnly announced.Clarissa feels like a big bomb exploded right into her ears. She is now fired as a back up dancer!She wanted to cry right there and then, but she tries to control herself."Believe me, Clarissa. I tried to
Every female dancer starts to get excited after they heard Jun's announcement.Being able to be picked is a huge advantage and they can have an exposure...On the one hand, Clarissa is not too hopeful because it is obvious that Victoria will be chosen. As a professional dancer, she will not harbor any resentment towards Victoria if ever she was picked. She can clearly admit that she is the best dancer in their group.Meanwhile, Victoria gave out a big smile to everyone because she's absolutely sure that she will be personally picked by their choreographer."And now, I'm going to formally announce the dancer who will dance with Toru for his solo performance... We decided to pick Clarissa this time, and it was an unanimous decision." Jun suddenly announced.Clarissa held her breath in shock after they called her name. She can't believe that she was chosen! It was obvious that everyone is expecting to be chosen."Clarissa, we're going to pull you out from the group for an hour per day so
Clarissa arrived early at the rehearsal room the next day.She breathed a sigh of relief when she found out that she's the only person in the room. She decided to wake up early because she wants to practice alone.Anyway, she wasn't able to sleep well last night because of Edward, Victoria and Toru...She started warming up her whole body, and after a few minutes, Clarissa started dancing...She suddenly stopped moving when she saw someone entering the room. She groaned inwardly when she saw Edward and Victoria..."Great. Just like what I needed early in the morning." Clarissa muttered under her breath."Oh, you're here, Clarissa. Aren't you trying too hard even though you don't have a talent in dancing?" Victoria sarcastically spat out."Please stop being a bitch in the morning, Victoria. I'm not in the mood to fight you." Clarissa warned her."Victoria, stop it ---!" Edward wasn't able to finish what he was about to say when they heard another voice behind them.Edward and Victoria
Clarissa's train of thoughts stopped in a halt when Victoria and her two friends suddenly laughed, as if something is funny."Wow, are you suffering from amnesia, Clarissa? Alright, let me remind you something. Edward just recently broke up with you, and now you're flirting with another guy in just a blink of an eye! And you even had the guts to seduce a famous celebrity like Toru?! Just look at you! You're just a Plain Jane, and you're nothing but a pathetic wallflower!" Victoria insulted her.Afterwards, the three girls laughed at her in a mocking manner.At the same time, Clarissa secretly counted one to ten to calm herself. She has to control herself because she doesn't want to create any trouble. She doesn't want to stoop down to their level.Clarissa took a deep breath before she spoke again. "I'm not that desperate to flirt with another man right away, unlike other girls who snatches other people's boyfriend." she stated,in a calm manner. Victoria's whole face suddenly turned
"Oh.That was fast. Did he find out what happened to us last night?" asked Toru. Clarissa smiled sadly."Don't worry about it too much. That's not why we decided to split up. Apparently, he fell in love with somebody else." she answered."I'm sorry to hear that. But are you okay?" Toru asks her again."Surprisingly, I'm more than okay. It may sound weird, but I feel more relieved when we broke up. Should I pretend to cry and be heartbroken?" Clarissa stated, in an amused manner.Without a warning, Toru suddenly lets out a bark of laughter."You never cease to amaze me, Clarissa. You're really one of a kind." he enunciated."Well, I'm glad I made you laugh." Clarissa said, while shrugging her shoulders."By the way, are you hungry? We can do a take out by going at the drive thru and eat while we're on the road." Toru suddenly suggested."Sure! I'm actually starving." Clarissa finally confesses with a smile.==========================After a while.They finally reached their destinatio
"You're finally here, Jason!" Kei greeted one of his team member."I'm sorry for being late." Toru apologized to everyone. "You're not really late, dude. Anyway, let's do our best for our rehearsals today, okay?" Richard, the other member of their idol group said, while tapping Toru's shoulder."As always, we need to give our 100% best." Toru nodded approvingly.At that exact time, Toru and Clarissa's eyes accidentally met. Toru just gave her a simple smile, and Clarissa just nodded in return.Then, they spent half of the day learning new dance moves....=======================Lunch time.Edward and Clarissa are at a Coffee Shop not far from the Grand Theater."So... How did you go home last night, Edward? What happened to you after drinking at the pub?" Clarissa bombarded her boyfriend with questions."Just like what I told you, I went home all by myself. I wasn't able to escort you back to your apartment because I was so drunk." Edward explained."Why am I not convinced, Edward? I
"Yes, Sir. I'm absolutely fine. Why are you outside?" Clarissa curiously asked him."Oh, I'm just here to get some fresh air. How about you, what are you doing here?" Toru asked her the same question."Uh, same to you, I guess. I'm feeling a bit suffocated inside." Clarissa responded, while shrugging her shoulders.His instinct's telling him that Clarissa's hiding her real feelings. Anyway, he doesn't have the right to force her to tell him the truth.Clarissa smiled at him, and then she spoke again."I have to go back inside..." she informed him."Oh, alright. I'll just stay here for a bit more. I'll go back inside in a few minutes." Toru smiled back at her.Clarissa nodded, then afterwards, she walks back inside...Toru watched her walking away until she's out of sight."I hope you'll be able to see what is going on around you, Clarissa." he whispered.==========================Few hours have passed. All of the people are starting to leave the pub one by one. Jun, their choreograp
Evening quickly came by.All the staff and dance crew are currently having fun. After their first day of rehearsals, Jun invited them all of them to have a drink at a certain pub and have a mini-orientation to make them feel comfortable with each other."Alright, everyone! Let's make our mini-orientation party even more fun, so let's play a little game, shall we? How about doing Truth or Dare game?" Jun suddenly announced.The crowd became rowdier after they heard what Jun said."I'm sorry to spoil your fun, guys, but I need to go. I still have to go somewhere important." Kei politely informed everyone. As soon as Kei left, Jun finally started the Truth or Dare game by spinning an empty bottle.A few seconds later, the tip of the bottle stopped towards Edward. Toru observed that Edward and Clarissa seems to be very close with each other. He heard from the grapevine that they are romantically linked with each other."Okay, Edward... Truth or Dare?" Jun asked the question.However, To
The next morning...Clarissa woke up to the sound of the phone ringing. She jumped out of her bed and ran to her mini-living room to pick up her mobile phone.She quickly answered the call."Hello?" she asked, in a raspy voice."Hello, may I speak with Miss Clarissa Montecillo?" the female caller asks."Yes, this is Clarissa Montecillo speaking. May I know who's calling, please?" Clarissa answered "Hi, Clarissa. I'm Diana Lee, and I'm calling to formally inform you that you've been picked as one of the dancers. Please report to the Grand Theater tomorrow at 10:00 am sharp. Your attendance is a must."After a few minutes, the call was finally ended, and she still can't believe that she passed the audition!"I got in!" Clarissa excitedly screamed, as if there's no tomorrow.=====================The next day.At the Grand Theater."Don't be too nervous, Clarissa. Just dance just like what you usually do." Edward encourages her."I'll prove to them that they didn't make a mistake in cho
