Chapter 14

Two years had passed since that dramatic moment I had in the room and now I'm already graduating in high school. Seems just like yesterday huh?? Well, those two years without Len was heartbreaking but then, I know I had to move on. Anyway, I had Gakupo with me and my best friend Meiko. I have learned to love Gakupo, maybe not as deep as I felt towards Len but love nonetheless. And he loved me back, that's what's important.

But he loved you back too…. My mind butted in. Yeah, he did say he loved me through a letter but he didn't fight for me. I was expecting him too. I sighed. Maybe he doesn't have the courage to tell everyone that he loves a fat and ugly girl like me. Oh well, his loss. You know why? 'Cause I'm already hot now. HAH!

Oh yes, in the span of two years, many changes had occurred in my body. First, I got rid of my baby fats through dieting and exercise. My mom forced me to do that. Second, I'm having other friends already. It was a cool junior and senior year. And it's about to end. Fufufufu.

"Hey you! Hot person No.1!" I heard a voice call behind me. I turned around and saw Meiko beaming at me. She, too, changed so much like me. Gone were the fats and double chins! Hah!

"Hey! Hot person No.2!" We giggled like children. We were currently in the ladies' room looking vainly at ourselves. "Omg Rin, I really can't believe this is us!" She pointed at our reflection. I looked too and heaved a deep sigh. "Yeah, I know right??"

"Let's go already. Gakupo's waiting for you outside." She dragged me literally out of the restroom.

"Hey babe." Gakupo greeted me as we approached the bench where he was sitting. "Babe" was his chosen endearment for me. It kinda makes me sad you know, because the last person who called me that was Len. I sighed again. What the hell?? Why am I always sighing?? Psshh.

"Hey," I kissed him on the cheek. He looked as handsome as ever. And I can feel a stubble under his chin. "You forgot to shave??" I joked.

He felt his under chin shyly. "Kinda," He chuckled and reached out for my hand. I could hear Meiko beside me whimpering in delight. "Okay, I'm outta here. I still need to clear up a few thing and I know you two could use a lovey-dovey time. So, CIAO!" She rushed and left us alone.

"Are you going to college babe?" He asked as he playfully made some circles in my hand using his fingers. I pulled my and away and giggled. "Duh??"

He smiled at me and put his arms around me. "I so love hearing you giggle." He kissed me. I let him. He's my boyfriend anyway plus we've been together for almost two years and within that, he had been the perfect boyfriend for me. Too perfect though. Well, maybe there's nothing wrong with that.

He broke the kiss. "Hey, say we go to the nearest restaurant and grab some snacks, is that okay with you??" He asked.

"OF course. Let's go now." We stood up and walked towards his car hand-in-hand.

We reached the restaurant in approximately 20 minutes. As we made our way towards a table, I noticed a familiar face. The nice hair, the nice eyes, the nice body. Oh yeah, it was Miku. She clearly hasn't seen us and I intended it to stay that way. It's not that I don't want to see her, far from it, but I just had this gut feeling that if she's going to see us, then hell would break loose.

When I looked back at Gakupo, he looked kinda tense. He can't even look into my eyes when we talk. Bugged off, I asked him. "Something wrong??"

He smiled too brightly and too quickly. "NO, no. Everything's fine." He gave off a hollow laugh. "Come on, let's go." He stood up looking behind me. I frowned. "I'm not even finish yet. Just wait." I looked behind me and saw Miku staring at us. I looked again at Gakupo, who was as nervous as ever, and asked. "You got a problem with Miku??"

He flinched at the sound of her name. Something definitely wasn't right here. "Who??" He feigned innocence, but the guilt in his eyes was visible. What could he be guilty of?? Puzzled, I looked behind again and almost jumped when I saw Miku standing directly behind me. What the heck??

"Hi Rin." She snickered. "And you too honey." He greeted towards Gakupo.

Honey??? I looked at Gakupo with questions in my eyes but he averted his gaze suddenly.

"What? Cat got your tongue people??" She laughed and shot me a venomous look. "SO it is true that you have been flirting with Gakupo, Rin. I can't believe you sank that low."

Sank that low??? Man, she's talking in riddles. "Sank that low?? Just what do you mean by that?? And for your information, Gakupo's my boyfriend for two years no so don't you dare call him 'honey'" I threatened.

She smiled mockingly at me and placed her hand around Gakupo. I felt infuriated. "Honey, why didn't you tell her we're engaged?? That's not nice." She kissed Gakupo full on the mouth. And that brute didn't budge!

And that's when Miku's words started to sink in. ENGAGED???!! I looked at Gakupo with eyes wide open. Engaged as in fiancée, to be married, etc.???

"Yes Rin. SO if I were you, back off! I'm his fiancée and you can't do anything about it!" She laughed. Gakupo stood up and reached for my hand. "Rin, let me explain."

I pulled my hand away and said nothing; I was too hurt to say anything, and raced off towards the exit. Before she was entirely out of the establishment, I heard Miku say behind me, "Oh and yeah?? That thing where he said that he like you two years ago, it was all just a dare. I can't believe he lived up to that dare until this date!" She tittered. God, how much I want to kill her!!

I ran as fast as I could away from them. From the crowd. I can't believe for two years, I was played a fool! How can they do this to me??? Now that I already loved Gakupo. I snorted. He doesn't really deserve my love. I stopped for a while to catch my breath and then I realized I reached the bridge. Wow, I ran that far??? Anyway, the scenery looks so picturesque and I couldn't help looking at the view, forgetting about the world for a moment. I climbed on the ledge to look at it clearly. AAHH, such fresh air. I closed my eyes and stretched my arms from side to side. The air itself makes me feel alive.

"If you want to die then don't bother other people." A familiar voice spoke from behind. I opened my eyes and turned around. My mouth went open and my eyes got wide. It was LEN!
