"Hi, Alena!"Alena wanted to hide at the nearest rock because of embarrassment when she heard Cillian's voice calling her name across the University's grounds.All of the students at the campus looked at her direction."Can't you tone it down? You're voice is so loud, and it looks like you're in the middle of a jungle!" Alena hissed at him, as he sat beside her at the bench."So... Would you like to come with me to shop for my clothes for the Homecoming Party? I should accompany you too since we're going to be partners..." Cillian continues blabbing on.She can hear some collective gasps from the girls once they hear Cillian's statement.Some of the guys also started whispering at each other, and they're all surprised to know that she and Cillian will be partners for the homecoming dance."Can't you shut your big mouth? Why do you have to announce it like it's something really important?!" she angrily muttered at Cillian."Why, what's wrong about being your partner at the dance? We'r
The night of the Homecoming Dance finally came...Alena is quietly watching the people dancing at the dancefloor, as she's sipping a glass of lemonade. Cillian excused himself for the meantime because one of their Professors wanted to talk to him about something, so she was left all alone. She doesn't mind, though…However, this party's boring her to death, eventhough the other kids are enjoying the part. She'd rather stay at her dorm and read until the break of dawn, but because of her deal with Cillian, she doesn't have the choice but to attend the party.Anyway, she told Cillian that she's just going to stay at the party for 20 minutes or half an hour tops, then after that, she's going back home...After a few minutes, she needed to go at the Women's Comfort Room. She walks her way towards the comfort room...And once she reached the comfort room, she almost stepped back when she saw Courtney and her two friends inside, while retouching their make ups... She was about to step back
Cillian is now escorting Alena back to her dormitory. He is wondering why she's been silent ever since they left the party, and she looks so exhausted.He's also wondering on how she got herself locked out from the Women's Comfort Room. There's definetely something wrong. Something happened, but she doesn't want to talk about it.Cillian doesn't want to force Alena to talk. He will just wait for her to talk about what happened, whenever she's ready..."Thanks for driving and walking me back home, Cillian." Alena suddenly spoke."Alena, I'm not going to ask you what happened tonight, but I just want to say I'm really sorry for leaving you alone. And it's a pity that I haven't got a chance to dance with you... I hope it's not too late for me to ask you, but--- may I have this dance?" Cillian suddenly requested, as he extended his hand towards Alena, inviting her for a dance."You mean, here?" Alena unbelievably asked him, while looking around.They are alone the University Campus, and t
The next day...Cillian and Alena are currently on their way now inside their classroom for their for class for the day. Alena is in high spirits, and she's beaming with so much happiness. And yes, she can confidently say that she's totally in love with Cillian Redford.At the same time, Cillian is overwhelmed with so much love and happiness. He is so damn proud to have a girlfriend just like Alena.Alena is his first girlfriend, and eventhough he's relatively a newbie when it comes to having a romantic relationship but he's willing to do his best to make their relationship work. He's really hoping and praying that they would last, until they are old and gray...Cillian and Alena are walking hand in hand while the other students are gawking at them. But they have their own world, and they don't want to let anyone in...They are just a few steps away until they reach the classroom, but Alena suddenly stopped walking. Cillian looked at her in a curious manner."What's wrong, sweetheart?
Many weeks have passed.After Alena's modelling stint at the South Marquina University Fair, she was scouted by a modelling agency, and that person invited her to go for an audition.Alena told Cillian everything, and she can really feel and see that her boyfriend is thrilled with the opportunity. Alena promised him that whatever happens, even if she becomes a popular model and even though she'll become busy with work engagements, she would make sure that she will still have time for him. And once everything is on the right track, they are going to get married, once they become successful with their own chosen careers.Alena's happy and satisfied by his boyfriend's full support. At the same time, Cillian tries her best not to be demanding of her time, not to be too clingy to her because she understands that being in a limelight can be stressful and exhausting too.Alena has been extremely busy with her modelling stints. She's been trying to juggle her time between going to school and
Gael's eyes scanned the University's Cafeteria. The place is jam-packed with students. He's already starving, and his arms' starting to numb because he's been holding a tray of food for the passed few minutes. He breathed a sigh of relief when he noticed an empty table and chair at the corner, but there's one big problem. Bentley and his crew are all sitting just beside the empty table and chair. Bentley is hanging out with his girlfriend, Ariana, and the two of them are known as the bullies in their campus.They are infamously known for terrorizing the students, and many people doesn't want to do anything with them. Gael felt his stomach growl again. He has to eat or else he'll be suffering from an ulcer. And he still needs to attend his next class, and it will start in 30 minutes."It's now or never." Gael whispered. He needs to do something or else, he will die from starvation.He walked towards Bentley and Ariana's table.He winces
After their Economics class, Gael started putting his things inside his bag, while glancing towards Jasmine's direction in a discreet manner. He is overwhelmed with her presence, and he feels like he's not in his usual self...Gael was about to step out from the room when Jasmine suddenly calls out for him."Gael, wait for me!"He saw Jasmine rushing towards him. His whole body became stiff, and he is unable to move."You're walking too fast! Are you in a hurry or something?" Jasmine smilingly asked him."I-I'm sorry... Do you need anything from me?" Gael stammered, as his heart started beating so fast that he is having a hard time to breathe."Well, since I'm finally back I want to hang out with you. If it's okay with you, of course." Jasmine stated, as her smile never leaves her face.Gael felt his whole face getting warm again, and he knows that he's obviously blushing infront of this beautiful woman.He was
The next day. "Miss Jasmine Milano! Is my class so boring that it makes you so sleepy?" Jasmine instantly woke up when she heard their Professor's voice echoing at each corner of their classroom. She didn't realize that she fell asleep in the middle of the class, and it's so embarrassing! She came home late and feeling exhausted last night because she attended an outreach program for the children at a rural area. The outreach program was a success, and she is looking forward to attend more of these in the future. She wanted to disappear right there and then when she noticed that everyone's looking at her. “There’s no excuse for what I did. And I am really sorry, Sir.” Jasmine sincerely apologizes. At the same time... Gael wanted to reach out for Jasmine but he stopped himself. He can clearly see that Jasmine's so tired, and he can feel her sincerity while apologizing to the
Jason nodded in return, thinking that Clarissa still has the right to know what happened to Edward and Victoria. "Don't worry too much about them.As far as I know,Edward is now the official choreographer in the entertainment industry ,and Victoria is now a dance instructor at a prestigious dance school.But let's not waste anymore time, Clarissa. This time let's talk about us." Jason abruptly changes the subject. Clarissa bit her lip, while looking at Jason. He is right.They need to talk about them, and put a closure between them so that they can finally move on with their lives... "You're right. We need to talk about the two of us. Tell me right now that you have someone special, or you're engaged, or if you're already married." Clarissa felt the pain in her heart after saying all of those things. Jason's brows met in a frown while looking at Clarissa with a puzzled expression on his face
Back at the hotel..."I can't believe he ignored me just like that! And it actually hurts like hell!" Clarissa continued on crying like a banshee while drinking wine with Jessica."I can totally understand your feelings, Clarissa. You know what, you can cry and drink all you want for tonight but starting tomorrow, you'll start moving on with your life, okay?" said Jessica."That's easier said than done, Jess! You just don't have any idea how I kept him in my heart for the passed years! Oh, maybe I'll die loving him!" Clarissa continues to wail her heart out.Eventhough Clarissa tried to stay professional throughout the show, but she hurting deep inside.Jason really changed, and he became like a stone... With no emotions.Jason didn't bother to talk to her from the beginning until the end of the show. Jessica was about to say something but she wasn't able to do
Clarissa is currently doing the new choreography for her job. She was contracted by a famous male pop singer to choreograph dance moves for the artist's latest music video."Clarissa, we got some mails!" her Manager, Jessica suddenly appeared at the practice room. She laid the letters on the nearby table.Thanks, Jessie." Clarissa thanked her.She decided to take a break for a few minutes because she has been dancing for three hours. She looked at the letters one by one.Some of them are from her fans, and some of them are from her students and her co-workers.One particular letter suddenly caught her attention.It was sent from Tokyo, Japan. She quickly opened the letter to read it."Clarissa, are you alright?" Jessica asked her.Clarissa was in utter shock after she read the letter. She wasn't able to speak for a few minutes. But once she recovers from her
Two Years Later.New York, New York.Clarissa almost jumped out from her seat when she felt something cold from her cheeks. She quickly glances back, and she rolled her eyes heavenward when she saw Aiden, her classmate at the New York Dance School chuckling, while holding cold cans of soda."Aiden, don't scare me like that! You almost gave me a heart attack!" she smilingly reprimanded him."Sorry about that, sweetheart." Aiden apologized, while still chuckling."That was really funny to you, huh?" Clarissa sarcastically spat at him."Alright, peace. Take this as my peace offering." Aiden tries to console her, as he gives her one can of soda."Thanks." Clarissa thanked him.She popped open the soda can and drank the refreshing drink. Afterwards, she turned her attention back to Aiden."By the way, what are you doing here?" she curiously asks him.
Clarissa is lying on her bed while staring at the ticket for NO Border's concert tomorrow. Part of her brain is telling her not to go so that she can forget about Jason, but her heart is telling her a different thing. Her heart is telling her to go to the concert, and see Jason one last time.She wearily sighed. Looks like she won't be able to sleep tonight...======================The night of the concert came.Clarissa is sitting in one of the many chairs inside the Grand Dome. She's happy to see that the place is packed with people, and she is so proud for NO Borders.She's 100% sure that the concert will be successful.Clarissa snaps out from her reverie when when the lights suddenly went out, and the concert is about to start.After a few seconds all of the members of NO Borders appeared onstage...Her heart is overwhelmed with so much e
Jason eyes immediately searched for Clarissa as soon as he steps onstage. He anxiously looks for her and he couldn't see her from the crowd of dancers..."Alright, guys! Gather up! I have a very important and serious announcement to make." their choreographer suddenly called for their attention.As soon as everyone has gathered, Jun spoke again."As you all know, the NO Borders' concert will start tomorrow, and this will be our last rehearsals. For the passed few days we had a problem and because of that our Big Boss decided to --- permanently remove ai Clarissa as one of the back-up dancers.That's why we decided that for Jason's partner for his solo performance, she will be replaced by Victoria." he pronounced.Everyone was obviously shocked after they heard the announcement."Is it because of the scandal?" Edward bravely asked Jun.Somehow, he was still worried about Clarissa.
Victoria wasn't able to answer because she was taken back by Jason's calm demeanor."Everyone, please calm down. For the meantime we need to concentrate on the rehearsals first. We only have a week before the concert starts, that's why we can't afford to waste anymore time." Nick calmed everyone down."Nick is right. That's why I want you all to do series of warm ups and afterwards, we'll start with the rehearsals, okay?" their choreographer announced as well.All of them didn't have a choice but to follow their choreographer's orders.Meanwhile, Clarissa secretly watches Jason. It was obvious on his face that she is affected by the scandal that appeared on the newspaper, and she feels like it's all her fault...She decided to talk to Jason later and apologize to him...=========================Clarissa is standing by the door, which was NO Borders' private room. Her heart is
At a certain fastfood restaurant..."I'm really going into a monster-mode right now! Even if Edward doesn't say anything, he still cares about that bitch!" Victoria angrily muttered, as she slams her fists on the table.The other customers at the restaurant stared at her in surprise, but she doesn't give a damn about them. She is now raging in anger because she knows that her boyfriend still cares for his ex-girlfriend. She needs to do something that will destroy Clarissa!"---I just need to dig up some dirt or scandal to any members of the NO Borders, and I know our magazine will sell like hotcakes, again... I'm just waiting for a big break."Victoria snaps out from her reverie when she heard the old man's voice, who was sitting at the nearby table. He was talking to someone over the phone. She decided to listen to the old man."----I've been monitoring them for a month, and I followed th
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 Jason 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 expecti
