CHAPTER 85.2
LOU
PEOPLE’S PARK, TAGAYTAY
We are now heading to the parking lot of the Skyranch. I am quietly walking while my friends are having conversations on the road loudly.
I am confused about what Gio is trying to make me feel. I don’t have an idea if he’s just born clingy or that’s how he treats me. Since on the Vikings, my heart can’t stop beating properly now.
I want to confess my feelings to him at Sky eye but I think it’s still early the reason I aborted my plan. Maybe, this isn’t the perfect timing.
Maybe, I need to wish for a sign again on when should I confess my feelings to him. I wished for a lot of signs and almost all of them were granted. I am now thinking about what Frances has said to me.
Gio is a good friend of mine. He knows how to respect everyone in our circle of friends. He’s an intelligent ma
CHAPTER 85.3LOUDINNER TIME“There is a lot of stuff that can be bought here,” Jane said while she’s looking around.“I don’t have any extra money. I spend it already at the Skyranch” Lester replied to her.“What do you want? I can lend you some penny” she answered.“I want this” and Lester pointed out a bracelet, a keychain, and a refrigerator magnet.“All right. Here” and Jane handed the money to Lester. While they are looking for goodies to buy, one thing caught my attention.I saw a shirt that has an aesthetic design. Fortunately, there is a black and white version of it. The text that was written on it is ‘Palace in the Sky’ with a small heart at the end.I suddenly remember when Gio bought a shirt for me as well during our shoot beforehand. What a coincidence. Tod
CHAPTER 86LOUWe are now heading home. I checked the time and it’s already 8 in the evening. Time passes so fast. I didn’t notice that we finished day one of our shoots. We finished it without any barriers and troubles that I am thankful for. As I told myself, we won’t be able to finish this for just a day. We will be having a second shoot next month. The reason why it will take long days before we shoot again is just that we have different schedules. Besides, holidays are coming and I need to go back to Alabang to celebrate it with my family there as I promised them.While we are heading home, I can’t control myself from overthinking. I do not know what will be the result of this music video. I hope we can finish this as soon as possible because I don’t want to cram.The song will be released in March and I can’t wait to share it with other people. Aside from that, I am
CHAPTER 87.1LOUPREPARATION FOR MY 18TH BIRTHDAY“Congratulations HUMSS students! You will not have an examination and all of you are exempt!” The teacher greeted us while we are at the live conference that makes me happy. I can’t believe that I won this game.“Lou’s answer is so on point and straightforward. Keep the good work!” the officer in charge told me. I can’t still believe it.“Well, that’s the intelligence of a Humanista” a teacher from our strand boasted and they laughed afterward.“students, you may leave now on our google meet. Thank you for participating and I do hope that you will apply in real everything you have said here.” The teacher slash host said to us.“Thank you, Ma’am!” I said and I tapped the end call. I am not expecting that I will be the
CHAPTER 87.2LOUAfter of few minutes of deciding and choosing, I chose the bag that I will be happy with and I can consider as my worth purchase.“All right. My decision is now made. I will take the Birkin one on the size 30 centimeters. I might get the Kelly next time” I said to her and her eyes smiled at me.She now went back to their stockroom to get a new stock of the Hermes Birkin. I am nervous yet excited about it. The fun fact is, fortunately, I have a connection with the Sales Associate the reason I availed a Birkin even it’s my first time. Besides, I bought several pieces of stuff from this store before and I told her that I am hoping to buy a Kelly or Birkin someday. Last year, I contacted her and she told me that they have upcoming stocks this year and this is the day.After a while, she’s now carrying a box and gave it to me. “Sir, you may check it,” she sai
CHAPTER 88.1LOUA DAY BEFORE MY 18TH BIRTHDAYToday is December 18, 2020, and tomorrow is my birthday. We are very busy today because we have just started preparing for tomorrow. We also decorated the house since we’re going to celebrate it here. I am planning to celebrate it in some resorts but my sister told me to save my money because I bought an expensive bag. Besides, the weather lately is too cold. I can’t even take a bath for long even though we have a heater.We just ordered a lot of food since I don’t want my sister to get tired because of cooking. The only friends I invited are my grade 10 friends especially the Jonel squad. Why? Because I can’t entertain all if I will invite my other friends as well.The party will start tomorrow at 5 in the afternoon. It’s too late for the others but us, it’s the perfect time where all the foods are
CHAPTER 88.2LOUWONDERFUL SURPRISESAfter meditating, I stand up from my bed and get inside my walk-in closet. My outfits are ready for today. I didn’t buy a new outfit since I still have clothes I haven’t wear.I looked at the mirror and I smiled. “Happy Birthday self! You deserve happiness.”Later on, I get inside of my comfort room to take a bath because we’re going to get the cake I ordered. Besides, my brother commanding me for something in the mall so I will put it first. Gladly, I set my party at 5 in the afternoon so I still have several hours. I looked at my phone first before getting wet. I do have a lot of notifications. I checked it individually and my mood suddenly changed when I can’t see any greetings from Gio.“What the heck,” I told myself and rolled my eyes. I put my phone in the lavatory and sta
CHAPTER 89.1GIOTHE PARTY HAS STARTEDLou entered inside and we are amazed by his look.“Mission abort guys. We can’t ruin his day since he’s carrying his new bag that is expensive than our lives” Eloisa whispered. He is carrying his new bag looking sassy and elegant with his pieces of jewelry and shades. His outfit is just simple but I saw the brand and I know it’s expensive.“His outfit is so lit. He looks expensive even it’s a casual look” Jane murmured to Syrel they agreed.“Your friends are already here!” His sister told and he looked at us.“Oh, my gosh sorry guys for being late for my party” and we all laughed when he said that. He didn’t notice the new car because the mustang is hiding it.“Where have you been?” Eloisa asked him.“I have been in Nort
CHAPTER 89.2LOU“Okay, last one!” Caye started taking our photos again. We began posing when Caye suddenly stops.“Lou, there’s a stain on your face,” Caye said and Gio looked at me. I looked at him as well and Caye took us a photo.“Just kidding…” I looked at her while raising my brow.“Are you making fun of us?” I asked her jokingly.“Forgive me! It’s now okay! Let me have a photo there now!” Caye exclaimed. Gio and I left the spot. As I expected, they love the background.I went back to my spot and started eating again. I forced myself to eat. I still didn’t eat my breakfast and lunch earlier because we’re rushing. After I finished eating, I went to my friends who are busy having a pictorial here.“Lou, Caye doesn’t want to go home anymore because of this” Syrel exclaimed wh
FINAL CHAPTER – THE HIDDEN TRUTHTHE CONFESSIONLOULiezel and I went home late. Since our meetup at Caye’s house is later at 3 pm, I went home at 1 pm. I still have a lot of time to prepare today.I went directly to the comfort room to take a bath. We will be also going to celebrate the release of the music video. I am a bit nervous today but I shouldn’t waste this chance anymore.I feel bad for myself for not informing Eloisa of what will happen today. Right after this confession, everything will go back to what it used to be.Right after I take a bath, I went to my closet and get the clothes I am going to wear today. I am going to wear a plain black shirt from Uniqlo and monogram pants from Louis Vuitton.I went to the sneaker section of my closet and get the D-Connect Sneaker from Dior. I wear it and looked at myself in the mirror.
CHAPTER 122GRADE 7 FRIENDSLOUTime passes fast. One week has been passed since Jane’s birthday. I edited the music video within one week and thankfully, I finished it on time days before the confession.I already uploaded it on YouTube and set it to be published on April 24th. Two years ago, the same day, this where Gio and I talked about Saint George Academy. We had a deal that he will take the STEM strand while I’ll go with the HUMSS strand.On April 30th, it’s the two-year celebration of the sign I wished that if I will be able to get into that school, I will confess my feelings to him after two years. Now, it is real
CHAPTER 121.2LOU“Let me placed my bag there,” I told them and put it on the vacant space. Gio looked at my bag and he gets it.“Woah, this is heavy. What is the stuff inside?” he questioned and opened it. His eyes widened when he opens the bag.“It’s just a phone and wallet? Why is this heavy?”“It’s because it’s a leather bag and expensive” Eloisa replied to him.“Why leather is this? Answer it if you know” Joshua teases Eloisa that makes her silent.Gio gets my phone and as usual, he’s going to have a photo again. “Let me have a picture here huh?”“As if I can do something since you’re already holding it” I replied to him casually and everyone laughs.I get some pasta, rice cake and a pizza from the table. When I saw there is a barbeque, I get two sticks as
CHAPTER 121.1JANE’S DEBUTLOUCaye: So, when will you confess your feelings, Lou?I think for a while before responding to her message. The next chance that we will be able to see each other again will be on Jane’s birthday but I am still doubting about it since Eloisa will be there that day.Lou: I will try it on Jane’s birthday. That might be our last meetup before I leave Laguna.Lester: Make sure that you’re going to do it that day or else, I’ll be the one who will tell Gio about it. This is a challenge for you.Lou: All right. I’ll be doing it once Eloisa isn’t there.Caye: Why don’t you say it to her as well? Maybe she would support you?Lou: This doesn’t mean that I don’t trust her. I am just un
CHAPTER 120THE MUSIC VIDEO SHOOTINGLOUAPRIL 2021“Help me Pia with the green screens,” I told Pia who is assisting me today here in the studio. We are going to shoot here some green screen footage. We are also set up another green screen on the veranda for later.She helped me with the green screens. While she’s doing it, I went to the lights and plugged it on the socket to see if there’s any shadow once a subject went in front of the green screen. Gladly, it’s not.After a while, it is now finally done. I went to my room to get the clothes I’ll let Gio wear in the shoot. He already used some of it on the pageant in our previous school. Since he doesn’t have any photos of it, I’ll let him wear it again.I am also planning to make him the cover of the story. I asked his permission and he agreed with it. He even
CHAPTER 119THE LAST SHOOT IS HAPPENINGLOUWeeks after, the song was released on digital music services. We didn’t make it before the release of the song the reason I haven’t uploaded anything on that day. In the meantime, we launched several teasers and posters for it while we are preparing for the shooting.Now is April and we will shoot tomorrow. I already informed Gio about everything he needs to bring. That would be the last shoot for this music video.The target date of the music video release was any day in May. I need to do have time while I am editing the shots.Since our place has been placed again of Enhanced Community Quarantine, we aren’t allowed to went to different places if not important and necessary. We also have a curfew for each barangay here in our province.We are running out of time so I came up with other methods. The only m
CHAPTER 118DOUBTLOUA couple of weeks after. It’s now in the third week of March but we haven’t continued our shooting yet.We are now running out of time. Our destination for our shoot is Batangas and Alabang. Since I am the producer of this music video as well, I will be the one who’s in charge of the expenses.“What date is now? The music video will be released on the 30th of March. We need to do something since the editing will take a lot of time.” I told myself while looking in the mirror. I get my phone from my table and messaged Eloisa.Lou
CHAPTER 117.2THE CONTINUATION“What is our story about?” Shyra asked.“It’s a unique story for me. You will be found out that too soon!” And he smiled again devilishly.We heard a bell. We turned around and saw an ice-cream vendor passing behind us.“I want ice-cream! Shall we?” Marielle invited.“Let’s go!” Shyra replied and they ran towards the direction of the ice-cream vendor.“Wait for me guys!” Joshua shouted and he runs in their direction.“Wait, I want it too!” I said and went in its direction. Gio followed me. I look in the cart of the dirty ice-cream vendor and I was amazed at the flavors.“Gosh! Cheese, chocolate, and strawberry!” I said in amazement. I get my wallet to bring out cash. When I opened it, I frowned my face afterward. Jeez.“Why, what’s wro
CHAPTER 117.1THE MEMORIES OF THE PASTLOU“You know what, I’ve been dreaming of Gio lately. I don’t know what does it mean” I told Lester and Caye while they are here on our house. They just suddenly pass by to our house because they went to our school during Junior High. They get the necessary and remaining documents they need to pass on their present school.“Maybe it is the sign to confess?” Caye questioned while she’s drinking a juice.“I don’t know either.”“Are you ready to confess any time soon?” I think about what Lester questioned me. Am I ready to confess my feelings to him? Or I am just pressured because of the things happening around me.“I am hesitant though. I am having doubts on my mind”“Why? Are there any problems?” Caye asked worriedly. I sighed d
