Chapter 1

They said that chocolate is a language for love and one of the representation of it. Chocolate is sweet and delicious just like love itself so most people of our world population use chocolate as a present, sometimes it is being partnered with cute teddy bear, a bouquet of roses or a combination of all during the fourteenth of February. But all I could say is...

This is a load of crap.

Why? Because of this Valentines bullshit, I have been forced by certain two people to make a chocolate. Oh, those people are friends of mine, one is with a voice that will be imprinted in your brain forever, a hair that is fluffy but not delectable as of a pink cotton candy and eyes that matches the color of her hair. While the other one has a voice of authority and pure seriousness, hair that is same of a chocolate but has been colored like of a rebel does and eyes that can intimidate anyone who enters her line of sight. Both of these two friends of mine has something in common, they have a face that can enchant millions of men.

That's right, they are one of the school's divas. Their names are Popuri and Karen, ranking 1 and 2. Just by saying their names can make some of the ordinary female students shudder in jealousy and make men kneel before them. Both have a deadly and immeasurable amount of charisma that even young female teachers with hot and sexy bodies are furious of them. Though I don't really see the point of those teachers being angry with them.

Why? Well, let us just say that they are not aware of how popular they are. Sometimes they do notice and there are times that they do not. I guess it was my own fault too that I gave up struggling so easily. Just a little bit of sweet talk and here I am, crying in my own idiocy while making these stupid chocolates.

The fuck did I got myself into. Just a little bit sweet talk from them and I've already conceived defeat. What kind of a girl am I?! They are not really taking advantage of me or anything, Popuri and Karen only ask favors to me once in a while but it will be great if that favor is not making this damn stupid chocolate!

Actually, I have no arguments on making the chocolate myself. Making any kind of pastry is my hobby anyway. However, I don't remember that giving these to the people who are supposed to receive it being the last part of the making process of a Valentines chocolate. Why don't they give it themselves?

I looked at the names that are written on the cards, decorated with hearts. Kai and Rick.

Two friends that are exactly inseparable. They have been together since they were children and a complete opposite. Kai is a buffoon and Rick is a boor, a lovely pair I might say. I understand Kai, being popular and having lots of admirers including Popuri but Rick?

I swear Karen has a weird taste for men. Rick, unlike Kai, he wasn't that much of a popular dude to begin with but far from being a nobody. All I could say about him is that he is weird and rude. Talking to him is like talking to an alien, in short, no one can't really relate and understand whatever he really is saying.

I shouldn't bad mouth at him like that especially when I don't really get to know him much better, but! I let out a sigh. Nevermind. In the end, I'm still the one who is at fault.

My mouth curved downward the moment my eyes landed on the calendar that rests quietly on the kitchen counter. Today is the thirteenth of February and a few hours later, it will be Valentine's Day, a day where people consider special.

I let out a sigh, "I should really plan on how I will give these stupid chocolate to them instead of thinking of some other stuff."

Short start isn't? I was inspired to write this back when it was Valentines and was supposed to be a one-shot but I was like... MEH~ MAKE IT A 'BY CHAPTER' ONE! Hope you liked the first chapter... PEACE!
