【 CANDICE LERAE's POINT OF VIEW 】

"Meeting you was not a plan of my life, hanging out with someone as the amazing and talented woman didn't cross my mind, and yet here we are. Friends always side by side, through hardships and success. You never leave me behind, without you, I think I would have collapsed then."

I think his confession last night made me quite giddy. Every line that he told me wouldn't get off my mind. Seriously, Johnny?

I hugged my pillow as I started to remind myself how happy I was last night.

"You know, back then. I'm such a weak and pathetic person but you always...always pushes me forward. I think I would be the happiest person if you would stand next to me, Candice."

I bit my lower lips as I rolled on my bed.

"AAAAHHHHHHH!" I screamed in my room, hugging my pillow tight.

It's not like we're dating though. Johnny didn't ask me to go out. Just asking what I felt for him and knowing the fact that our feelings are mutual, that made me felt relieved.

That would be enough for now.

Because I don't think Johnny's rushing me or I'm rushing him. We have our own pace and not running out of time. Besides, I'm sure Johnny will ask me out in the most unexpected time.

【 JOHNNY GARGANO's POINT OF VIEW 】

I didn't ask Candice out, crap maybe I did forget to ask her out. Is it because she cried last night? Is it because I'm too in love with her that my brain stopped working?

I know her for a long time and vice versa. Our relationship will definitely change because of my confession last night. Come to think of it, those words that I told her isn't just an ordinary confession.

It's more like a proposal.

I feel my face suddenly heated up from the thought. I can imagine myself dating Candice but a wedding? Who knows? We're too young for that. But for now, I love these feelings and I'll take care of her as I've always been.

Even if our relationship upgraded, that doesn't change the fact that she's my childhood friend, my best friend, my partner, my playmate, my classmate, my dream, my wish, my fantasy.

I'm sure Candice felt the same way.

I called Tommaso to make sure he didn't kill himself or maybe I'm imagining things.

["What do you want, Johnny?"]

["Are you alright?"]

["What are you talking about?"]

["I'm such a jerk, of course, you're not."]

["I got scolded by a teacher because I opened the old school building room..."]

I couldn't help but to laugh.

["Stop laughing! Did Candice found you?"]

["How come you told her your location?"]

["How will she find us if we're not...you didn't tell her?"]

["No, I didn't tell her where I'm currently at the moment. It's just..."]

["She found you."]

["...yeah. She found me."]

["Congrats, Johnny."]

["I'm not dating her yet, I'm planning to ask her out at the right time."]

["Touche! Whatever my boy! Take care of her."]

["I will."]

After that he ended the call, I couldn't help but feel bad for my best friend.

Sorry bud, it's always been Candice, my top priority aside from studying.

I'm sure you'll find the right woman for you who'll stay besides you and never leave your side.

I'm sure, she'll come.
