Clark, Van, and Bianca are now at a certain beach.The three of them are walking by the seashore, just admiring the beautiful afternoon scenery..."Why are you so quiet, Bianca? Are you still thinking what happened at the reunion?" Clark suddenly asks Bianca."Yeah, not because I'm scared, but I'm actually thanking my lucky stars because I have you two as my bestfriends. You're always there to support me and protect me." Bianca answered, in a serious manner.Clark and Van stares at Bianca, who's looking at the sunset. It was as if something is tugging their hearts. The sun's reflection gives her an amazing glow which made her really pretty.Bianca's brown eyes are glowing against the afternoon sun. gave a strange glow to her whole face."Hey, why are you both staring at me like that? Is there something weird on my face?" Bianca suddenly bombarded Clark and Van with questions.Clark and Van shook their heads, as they were trying to wake up from a trance...============================
"I don't need anything else, your friendship is enough." Van answered."No, I don't want that. I will find you a perfect gift for your birthday whether you like it or not." Bianca's stubbornness strikes again.Van can't help himself but to let out a smile. This is what he finds charming about Bianca. If he wants to do something, she will do it in full throttle.And that's what make her beautiful.==============================After a few hours.Clark and Van are currently talking to their neighborhood friends who are also at the birthday party when they suddenly heard a commotion outside Clark's house.Clark, Van and all of the guests went outside to check what was going on. And much to their surprise, they saw the same creepy man at the Waldorf Reunion party. He was grabbing Bianca's arm, as he is dragging him towards his car."Hey, what are you doing? Let her go!" Van shouted.He almost forgot how to breath because he is dead worried about Bianca. The creepy man might try to hurt h
Fifty One:TalesJulia checked her reflection at the mirror for almost a hundredth time. She thoughtfully frowned when she noticed that something is missing."Oh, right. I need to put on my lipstick!"She took her small make-up pouch and she applied the pink lipstick on her pouting lips.After a few seconds, she lets out a satisfied smile when she looks at the mirror again. She's now ready to face the day with a smile."Julia you need to hurry or else you're going to be late for school!" she heard her mother's voice downstairs."Okay, Mom!" she responded.She got her school bag and she rushes downstairs. She saw her father and older brother already having breakfast."Come and eat your breakfast, Julia. You don't want to be late for school, right?" her mother stated."I'm sorry, Mom. I pulled an all-nighter to study for today's exam that's why I woke up late." Julia apologizes."Hey, is is there something on your lips?" her annoying brother, Julius suddenly asked."Aren't you wearing to
The students are starting to fill the gymnasium, and the place is starting to get noisy."Let's get ready, Van." James told his best friend."I'll see you later, Julia." Van told Julia, then afterwards, he walks away with James to prepare their things."I can't wait!" Julia smilingly whispers to herself, and she feels like she's walking in the clouds because of happiness.=======================Van gave them 15 minutes to answer the mock Math test. The other students are all busy answering their papers, but Julia already finished answering all of them. She is now using her free time just staring at Van's handsome faceVan is reading a book, and he seems to be focusing on it too much. But he still looks handsome, so she's just satisfied staring at him...But she secretly gasped when Van caught her staring at him! "Are you done with your paper?" asked Van.Julia started blushing because of extreme embarrassment."Y-Yes." she stupidly stammers, while giving her paper to him.Van revie
Julia stops walking as she suddenly feels tired. She's been walking for a long time now, with no direction in mind. She looks up at the clear, blue sky while gasping for breath.She then realized that she's in the middle of their subdivision's playground. She walks in one of the swings and sat there. She swung herself unto the swing while she's deep in thought.She is not ready to give up her feeling towards Van. She's been in love with him for a very long time already, but she's willing to wait for him, and once their perfect timing comes, they'll be together again...============================The day that Julia has been dreading to come has finally arrived. This is the day where her brother James and her first love Van will go to the Metropolitan city to study at prestigious University there.Julia decided to lock herself in her room. She just lied to her parents that she's suffering from a migraine, and they seemed to believe her.The truth is, she just doesn't want to see her b
“----Hello? You still there, Julia?” she heard her brother's voice again from the other line.Julia wildly shook her head, as if she's shaking all her thought of the past. But one thing is for sure, she felt a twinge of pain as she remembered someone from the past."Oh, I have to go back to work, James. I'll call you back later, okay?" she abruptly changes the topic."Alright, see you soon, sis." James replied.Julia ended the call, while feeling guilty. She wanted to talk to James more, but she feels like she's not yet ready to talk about what happened 12 years ago.But part of her mind says that she shouldn't dwell too much on her past because she has to face her future with sighed. She has to face the future with David. She needs live at the present time, and prepare for the future.Once she regains her composure, she decided to send a text message to her boyfriend."I'll be down in 10 mins..." she sent a message to David.After a few minutes, Julia stood up, slung her bag on her
Julia has been staring at her engagement ring for a few minutes now. The diamond sparkled against the light, and it looks beautiful so beautiful.After David's proposal, he told her that he should talk to her parents as soon as possible, and talk about their upcoming wedding.She feels like everything is going so fast, and she needs time for herself to breathe. Julia snaps out from her reverie when her mobile phone rang again. The caller is none other than her beloved older brother."Hey, Juls. Are you busy right now?" James asked from the other line."No, my work is over and I'm just relaxing at home. By the way, are you really coming home?" Julia's excited for her brother's homecoming. "Yeah, 100% sure. My boss already approved my leave request." answered James."That's great! I actually need to talk to you and I need to tell something to Mommy and Daddy." Julia informed him."Can't you say it to me over the phone?" James curiously asked her."It's better to say it to you face to
Julia is all alone at the dark part of their house garden, as she wants to be alone and think on her own.She's still in feeling a bit shocked after seeing Van again. She didn't expect that she will see him at her brother's homecoming party, and that's why she's not mentally, emotionally and physically prepared..."We finally see each other again after so many years, Julia."Julia lets out an audible gasp after hearing that familiar voice again.She wheeled around, and she forces herself to face Van..."What are you doing here?" she asked him, as she tries her best to sound casual."Why do you sound so cold and indifferent, brat?" Van asked, instead of answering her question."I'm not a child anymore, so please stop calling me "brat!" Julia reprimanded Van."Then stop acting like one! You're really acting like a brat right now eventhough many years have passed!" Van retorted."Hah! Look who's talking! Aren't you an immature one as well? Who in their right mind would get their girlfrie
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
