Chapter 3
A figure emerged from the bush. As if on cue, the wind blew to herald his arrival.
He made it. Shun...
"Sorry I'm late Alice." He apologized.
"It's alright. As long as you're here"
"Awwwwwww" everyone commented.
"Now, let's get this party going!"
"Yeeeeaaaaaahhhhh!!!!!"
Outside
"Are you sure?" He asked me again
"Of course I am. Let's just see what they will do for now." I calmly replied
Back at the mansion, 11:00 PM
Everyone was cleaning up the mess. Well, not that kind of messy, but it's still a mess. Runo and Julie were washing the dishes; Dan, Marucho and I were folding the tablecloths; Joe and Chan were packing the leftovers and Alice was at her room, resting.
"Hey guys, we just got an idea!" Julie excitedly said
"What?" Marucho asked
"Why don't we all give Alice a goodnight message?" Runo suggested
"Why not? Let's go then!" Dan eagerly answered
"We can't do that yet!"
"Why?"
"Looks like you want to escape from what you're doing now" I said
"Darn, Busted..."
A hearty laughter came from all of us.
"Let's finish this first, and then we give her our messages."
After we finished cleaning up, we headed up to Alice's room and gave her our individual messages. But I'm not just going to let this opportunity pass. I closed the door, and took out a small box from my pocket and placed it in front of her.
"Shun?"
"Yes Alice?"
"What's in that box?"
"A gift for my very special one" I presented
Then, I opened the box to reveal a ring.
"So, this is what made you late."
"Yes"
"You shouldn't have"
"It's alright Alice"
"Thank you, Shun"
"You're We-"
I was cut off from what I was saying when she pressed her warm, tender lips against mine.
When we parted lips, a smile drew from my face.
"The others are waiting for you outside. Goodnight Shun." She said caringly
"Good night too, Alice"
As I slowly approached the door, it suddenly flew open, revealing all our friends as they tumbled down. Looks like they saw our first kiss.
"Let's go guys. Time to sleep" I invited them
Then, all of a sudden, a firework exploded in the sky. We all went Alice's balcony space to see the firework followed by a few more bunches. I felt a faint, yet familiar aura somewhere near. Dan nudged my arm and pointed to the sky. We were shocked to see what spelled out afterwards.
'HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ALICE' it read. Everyone was surprised to see such greetings, but who sent it? That question lingered on our minds until our sleep.
End Chapter 3: Message (Alice/Mysterious/Shun)
Blade: There! All done. Now I need to study for my quarterly tests and prepare for our grad rites. Mark, I'll leave it up to you now.
Mark: Fine, We know this chapter is kind of short, but here is where the title begins to manifest itself...
Read and review please.
Next chapter, we will reveal who and what is that mysterious one planning. Till then, Later!
