This one's a short one but don't worry. The next one is longer. Enjoy though there's not much to enjoy here. Not yet, that is. ;)

A hundred gasps echoed through the theater as the jet stumbled towards them.

Amy saw some people ducked as if it was real. She chuckled. It was just 3D! It's not real! Though she's got to admit it did feel real and all but it was still just graphics.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Max reach out for Scarlett's hand. Scarlett smiled at him and her hand went to her popcorn. She placed one inside his mouth. Max, in return, gave his drink to her. Amy shook her head. Just as lovey-dovey as before. Well, they were THE couple.

She looked beside her and saw Mae who clutching the arm of Ben who Amy knew was as red as a tomato. Those two were just so cute. They may be complete opposites but that's what makes them so lovable as a couple. They are complete opposites. Mae is noisy, cheerful and all while Ben is this nerdy guy who's ignored by everyone except them, of course.

Together they just explode. Basically, Mae brings the wilder side out of Ben. He is starting to be much normal. Not that he's not normal before but more sociable. Even his looks were completely changed by Mae. He always used to wear T-shirts and an old pair of jeans with those big thick-framed glasses. Right now, he wears some button down shirts and even V-necks. No more thick frames but contacts. Amy's got to admit he did look good and very different. She almost screamed when she first saw him in his new transformation.

Amy settled down in her chair and tried to focus on the movie. She munched on some popcorn and relax on her seat but she found it hard to focus. She found herself distracted. Somehow, her mind was somewhere else again. She was wondering, where is he? Why did he have to go? Why did he suddenly disappear?

Sometimes she just wanted to shout her anger out. Sometimes she wanted to cry. There were some times she just wanted to forget. Forget everything that happened between them during the clue hunt, during their high school days, everything. But she couldn't. Somehow, it kept on coming back. When she closes her eyes, the vision of him keeps on invading her mind and heart.

Sometimes she just wanted to disappear because of these meltdowns. It made her feel bad that she was so affected that she couldn't work and it affected other people too. Though she knew they care for her but she just felt bad that they're also affected by her gloomy mood. Fiske and Dan were always there but they were not the type who would hug and comfort someone not like someone else. It's a good thing Jake's there.

Jake.

She knew what they once shared. She knew what happened between them though it was only a small thing, it was still something. She realized ever since she went back to school she felt different towards him. She didn't understand but her heart twisted as she remembered last night.

She didn't mean to walk out on him. She was just not in the right mood. Her heart felt heavy. He was a nice guy. He was always there for her but she was not. It's not like she was obliged to do so but she needed to repay his support. And the way she treated him last night was not good.

Suddenly she felt the familiar prickle on the back of her neck. She immediately looked around her. It's impossible that he's at the front but she checked anyways. Still nothing. She frowned. This person even followed her to the theater. She tried to spot anything she saw when she was riding the bus. In the end, she just sat and tried to ignore the feeling inside her. She knew nothing would happen because they were inside the cinema. He would be stupid if he did something where hundreds of people could see them.

She never really watched the whole movie. The last part was all a blur to her.

They walked out of the restaurant with their stomachs full.

"That was good, Mae." complemented Amy.

"Of course. I'm fantastic!" said Mae while she held her head up high with pride.

They all laughed. Mae worked with her family in their family business. They have a small Italian restaurant that was one of the best Amy have been to. They really have this rich aroma of Italian food and it tastes really good.

"Amy!"

Amy turned around and saw Jake leaning on his car with his arms across his chest. She smiled back at him.

"I'm here to pick you up." he said.

"Wait." she replied.

She turned around to face her friends who were giggling. She frowned.

"What?" she said as she placed her hands on her hips.

"Nothing." Max said.

She eyed them suspiciously and said goodbye to them. She walked towards Jake who was waiting for her in the car.

"How did you know where I was?" she asked him.

"Well, you did tell us last night you were going out with your friends." he replied.

At the mention of last night, she flinched.

"Jake." she said.

"Hm?" he said without looking at her.

"I'm sorry." She felt him glanced at her.

"For what?"

"Last night."

"Last night?"

She gave him a look.

"Oh, last night." he said in realization.

He didn't answer back. He left her hanging on the edge of her seat. Her hands became sweaty. She kept on shifting and shifting. Tension filled the car as she waited for him to say something. Anything.

"I know you were going through something. It's okay," he finally said.

She sighed in relief. She leaned back on her seat.

After a few minutes of silence, she asked. "Well, where are we going?"

"Home then to the hotel. Christmas party remember?" he asked.

"Right."

He chuckled. "Why do you always forget?"

"Oh, come one! I need to study!" she complained. "So I tend to forget stuffs."

"But not the studies." he teased.

She glared at him. She opened her mouth, ready for another sentence but she couldn't think of one.

"Go on, Amy." he urged her.

"Wait! I'm thinking!" she hissed.

He grinned. "Just admit it."

"Fine. I lose. You win." she pouted.

His laugh echoed in her mind as they neared their destination.

Amy looked at her reflection on the mirror. She turned around to see if everything's okay. So far so good.

She was wearing a violet plum gown that touches the ground. It has a lace that goes around hugging her waist tight, shaping the dress. A ribbon was around her neck while her back remained unclothed. It was backless but it was not that low. It was low enough to see half of her back. She matched it with black stilettos.

At first she wanted to just leave her hair but it looked messy and tangled so she tied it up in a bun. She wore some dangling earrings and bracelet to match it.

"Let's go!" she heard Fiske shouted from outside.

She took her purse and took on last look at herself on the mirror. She sighed.

At least this was going to be better than her prom. She hopes so.

Thank you for the support guys! I know I sound like a broken record but I just want to show my appreciation. Thank you for reading this in the first place. Review! :)

*I just realized how bad I am at describing clothing stuff. Idk, maybe it's because the clothes didn't matter to me as much? :P
