Diana Rose POV-EVEN BEFORE the sun came up I had finished fixing myself—getting Patrice’s face back.After the final retouch, I looked in the hand mirror and smiled. I think I’m about to erase Patrice’s face.“Patrice! Patrice! Patrice!”I rushed out of the tent after I heard Isabelle yell my name.“Why—”“Quick! Let’s go!”Isabelle suddenly pulled me out of my tent in a hurry.“Wait, I’ll just put on my shoes.”“Ah, yes. I forgot.”I right away put on my shoes because Isabelle was also ordering me to hurry.“Let’s go!”Isabelle suddenly pulled me again until I noticed not far away that there was a large group of students. Others like us are still going there.“Excuse me! Excuse me, the blessed woman is with me! Excuse me!” Isabelle shouted.We were right away, given the way, until I saw in the middle of the cluster of students that Shin was there with a guitar in his hand while looking at me with a smile.Isabelle suddenly left me in the middle.“What—” I was stopped in my intentio
Diana Rose POV-“Nope.”“Maybe—no, I don’t want to, but maybe?”“This? I think it’s too overdressed.”“Hmm, this coordinate.”I changed my clothes, then looked at the whole body mirror in my walking closet.I wore a khaki, leather skirt, my top was a cardigan, and I partnered a four-inch square color khaki boots.After I looked at what I was wearing, I went back to my vanity table where there was a row of nude to dark red lipsticks.I can’t choose what lipstick shade suits me right now.Andrew called me earlier to take me to the mall to buy a gift for his sister, Andrea.I will not assume and especially I did not assume that we will go on a couple date with Andrew, I just want to be as good in his eyes as Diana Rose. Another thing is that he said that the one he wants to be with is Diana Rose and not Patrice .“I think this is it,” I said to myself as I chose the nude color lipstick and topped it with a little red lipstick.I only did everyday makeup since I kind of want to rest my f
Diana Rose POV-FINALLY!When I got up, I didn’t feel tired or awake during the day even though it was three in the morning.I went straight to the bathroom to take a shower until I finished getting ready.When I checked the clock on my cell phone, I was surprised to realize that I am able to fix things faster now.“I’ll just go in earlier today.” I said.Grabbing my backpack, I ran out of the house before I even met Dylan or my parents.“Please, I’ll just go down to the convenience store near the school. I’ll just eat breakfast there.”The driver complied with the request. At first he wanted to wait for me and make sure that I would go straight to school, but I told him to leave me and don’t worry about me.After paying, I sat outside the convenience store. It’s cold inside.I waited for my two cup noodles to cook first and then while eating the egg tuna sandwich I also bought.While I was eating my egg tuna sandwich, I couldn’t help but get excited because I was about to eat noodle
Diana Rose POV-“Alex Shin and Patrice Mauricio!”After our teacher announced that, our classmates looked at us in our place here in the last row.“I expect all your special assignments on Friday. Class dismissed.”The moment our science teacher came out, our classmates approached their partners one by one. But I catch the others looking at Shin and me with a smile.I removed my attention from our classmates and then looked at Shin, who was now looking at his phone while typing on his phone.Two days have passed since Shin and I stopped the fake relationship we had, and since then we haven’t even talked once or even just said hello to each other. And, in the past two days, he has flirted with as many women as my finger.Shin’s sudden flirtatiousness or return to being a playboy is annoying.His reason then for picking me up to be his fake girlfriend was so that no woman would approach him, but this time, he went back to being a playboy.It’s a good thing that no one in this classroom
Diana Rose POV - I SLAMMED on the vanity table in annoyance after I saw that the shade of the concealer I put on my under eye was uneven and that I applied too much. I was supposed to get some face wipes, but I saw they were out of stock. Instead of wiping my face with a cleanser, I went to the bathroom to wash my face. After I washed my face, I sat again in front of the vanity table. I can’t go out without makeup now because of the depth and size of my eyebags. But, if I start again from prep to even simple makeup, I might be late. Today is the day Andrew invited me out but since Friday I haven’t slept well. I think I only slept seven hours in two days. I couldn’t sleep with so many thoughts, including what happened to Shin and me last Friday. I still don’t understand what went through Shin’s mind, why he said and did those things? Did he... Did he mean every word he said? For a while, I was on the verge of jumping when someone knocked on the door. “Why?” I asked the maid w
Diana Rose POV-It’s been almost three weeks since Andrew and I went to the park.I am not sure if Andrew is referring to me when he said that this time he will fight for his feelings for the person he loves, but after that we became closer than Andrew and Diana.Almost every day after class the two of us go out and this past week we meet every day after class because he teaches me pointers to review for the exam.“Patrice!”Isabelle screamed as she entered the classroom.We had a long break because our teacher, for the first subject of the afternoon, was not there.“Omg! Come with me. I have something to show you! It’s real omg!”“W-Why?” I was wondering ask. “I told you I was too lazy to go out.”“I went to the bulletin board, and guess what?”“Wha—”“You are in the top 33 out of 200 students of senior grade 12!”I stood up from my seat. “WHAT?!” we all asked in disbelief at the same time.In the past periodical exams, in this entire section, I was the only one who ranked 195 and a
Diana Rose POV-When we entered, we all almost cried after we found out what Isabelle had reserved was one of the VIP rooms for everyone.Because we were all excited to taste the food here, we almost ordered everything on the menu, that’s why when all our orders arrived, we put together what I think were fifteen tables to fit our foods.“Our drivers, please make sure they are eating.” I whispered to a person who took our order while eating.“Yes, ma’am.”“Thank you.” I said with a smile.While eating, we compliment each other on the food until the topic turns to the white holiday ball.“I’m excited. I should be able to invite my crush. This is my last chance!”“I invited my crush, and she said yes!”“I need to be beautiful so that my crush will notice me—hey, Brena! Don’t be too beautiful so that my crush will notice me!”“Hahaha, I will take that as a compliment,”“This will be our white holiday ball, so it must be memorable!”“I’m just excited to have a long vacation!”They say the
(The next day...)-Diana Rose POV-“Maybe you will be late, ma’am, and the main gate will be closed.”“Wait, I’m still thinking.” I answer.“But ma’am, I thought it was an engagement proposal yesterday. My chest heaved a little with nervousness because your parents and Dylan might scold me.”Yesterday I told the driver pretended he saw nothing yesterday, and I said that it was nothing and above all, don’t tell my parents, including Dylan.Yesterday...I did not answer.Yesterday, I was so stunned that I did nothing but run outside. But I think my run yesterday is the answer? I removed Shin’s grip on my hand.For a few moments, I was stopped when someone knocked on the window, and as soon as I saw Brena outside, I rolled down the window.Brena opened her mouth to speak, but she closed it then smiled at me.“Pease forget what happened yesterday.”“Yes ma’am, what happened yesterday has been deleted from my memory!”I knew the driver wanted to cheer me up, so I forced myself to smile a
