10. Come and Go
Anthony Williams
----------------------------------
I woke up. I looked around and approahed each note.
"What happened yesterday was true."
"She's mine... finally!"
"If don't believe these notes, go die!"
I laughed. Okay. Okay. I get it. I believe you, myself who wrote these notes last night so I won't think it was a dream. I took a bath and changed into my uniform. I wore my jacket since it was almost winter and hell the wind is really cold. I hope she doesn't forget to bring her jacket to school. I went out and started walking to school. Once I entered school, she was the first one I saw. I see something beautiful early in the morning.

I arrived inside my bedroom. I dazed for about a minute or two. What happened? Did Anthony and I? REALLY?! I freaked out. Okay calm down thyself. I looked at myself in the mirror. See? Apologizing will bring you good things. You even got your old love back to his senses. Atta' girl! Now you should get some sleep!
I changed into my pajamas and went to bed. I took my phone and set an alarm. I hope this isn't just a dream..
"WAKE UP! THIS IS NOT A DREAM! ANTHONY LOVES YOU! WAKE UP YOU IDIOT!" I woke up and fell on the floor. My heart was racing and I could feel my blood rushing to my cheeks. It isn't a dream after all. What's more, I arrived at school and he's the first person I saw.

"Hey.", I greeted. I approached her.
"Good morning.", she greeted back. I grabbed her hand and intertwined it with mine.
"Is this okay?", I asked. She was blushing. Cute.
"Y-yeah. It's embarrassing but if it's you then I don't mind.", she replied. Adorable.
"Yo! Mor-" Lee and Leah were astounded.
"You mister! I need to have a word with you later!", Lee said as he stormed in the building holding Leah's hand. I laughed.
"Is he okay?", Celine asked.
"Don't worry. His level of stupidity is sky high.", I replied. She chuckled. I love this creature.
"We should get going or we'll be late.", she said. We both entered the building and went to each of our lockers. Her locker was upstairs so I told her I'd catch up with her in a bit. When I went to her locker, she was surrounded by these other girls who looked pissed.
"E-excuse me... Do you n-need anything?", Celine asked.
"I saw you grabbed his hand this morning! Who are you and why are you with him?!", the girl asked.
"Grabbed? Him? Who?", Celine asked. The other girl slammed Celine against the lockers. Alarmed, I disrupted them.
"What are you doing to Celine?!", I yelled.
"Anthony!", the girl shrieked.
"And for your information, I was the one who grabbed her hand and I was with her because she's mine and we're going out!", I yelled at them. All of them were shocked including Celine.
"You're dating?!", the girl asked.
"YES! So if you or any one of you here dares lay a finger on Celine, I will seriously deal with you. I don't care if you are a girl!", I screamed.
"Anthony. That's enough.", Celine whispered while holding on to my arm.
"Sorry. I just got angry at them for bullying you.", I replied. Celine smiled.
"Thanks superman." Celine chuckled. I can't help but smile at her. Both of us went to our classroom. We entered and saw everyone's similar expressions.
"ANTHONY THE VENGEFUL IS DATING THE GIRL HE HATES?!", everyone in class asked in unison. Sigh. Was I really a jerk at being angry that everyone here knows me as the vengeful one?!
"First of all, YES I'M DATING HER! Second, you guys didn't have to talk at the same time! Lastly, if any one of you lay a finger on Celine, I'll deal with you seriously!", I yelled. Unexpectedly, everyone clapped. Some even cried.
"Congrats Anthony!", one girl said.
"You finally realized you like her!", another girl said.
"Finally?", I uttered.
"Congratulations on graduating from vengeful to blissful!" I turned around and I saw Leah.
"No wonder why you were changing. It was because of her!", Lee added. Because of her? Celine?
"Hey! Introduce us to her!", Leah said.
"Why? We're all in the same class.", I asked.
"This is the girl that turned satan into an angel!", Leah said.
"Was that supposed to be a compliment?", I asked.
"N-nice to meet you! I'm Celine.", she introduced herself.
"Let's be great friends!", Lee said. Celine smiled and nodded. Soon the whole school knew about Celine and I. During lunch, I was approached by a lot of girls and Celine was approached by a lot of guys. Atlast, after school, Celine and I met at the place where I sketched her sleeping face. The place where I realized how pretty she was.
"Thank god. Nobody can disturb us here.", I said, "Are you okay?", I asked.
"Yeah. It's just that I'm not used to people suddenly approaching me in crowds.", she replied. Both of us sat down.
"Don't worry. Just bear with it for awhile and it'll be back to normal.", I assured her. She smiled and both of us leaned against the trunk of the tree. It was very peaceful. I can even hear the birds chirping.
Blue skies. Bright sun. Students talking at quite a distance.
"Hey.", I talked.
"Yeah?", she replied.
"Let's go out somewhere this weekend.", I said.
"That's Christmas eve."
"Yeah. If it's okay with you, we can hang out, you know?", I said. I took a peek at her and I saw her ears were bright red. I chuckled.
"A d-d-d-date?", she stuttered.
"Yeah. No good?", I asked. She quickly faced me and before she could answer, I kissed her cheek.
Wide eyes. Bright blush. An embarrassed Celine is definitely adorable.
"Wait! That's unfair!", she said.
"What is?", I asked while laughing.
"Anyway. A date this weekend, huh? Okay. Let's do it.", she agreed.
"Great! I need a way to contact you. Do you have a phone?", I asked.
"Yeah.", she replied.
"Let's exchange numbers. That way, it'll be easier to communicate.", I suggested. She took out her phone. I entered my number.
Then my phone rang. It was an unknown number. I answered it. Who could it be?
"I love you." I quickly turned to her and she did a peck on my lips. Oh god. I might faint of embarrassment.
"I got you.", she said. I hung up and she was hysterically laughing. I smiled and hugged her.
"Anthony?", she wondered.
"I finally got to hear you say you love me.", I said. She was embarrassed and became silent.
"I love you too, Celine.", I told her. She looked at me.
"I always like it when you say my name.", she said while smiling.
"Then I'll keep saying it, Celine." She was clearly embarrassed at the same time. So cute. I kissed her forehead.
"Let's go. It's getting cold.", I said. She agreed and we walked home together. We arrived at her doorstep and I saw a woman waiting outside Celine's apartment.
"Wh-", Celine uttered.
"Who is he?", the woman asked.
"Ah, he's my childhood friend... and my boyfriend, Anthony.", Celine introduced me.
"Nice to meet you. I'm Emma, Celine's aunt. I came here to visit. Thank you for bringing her home safely.", she said.
"It's what I can do for her. Celine, I'll go ahead. See you tomorrow!", I exited first.

Celine Garcia
-----------------------------------
Both of us went inside my apartment.
"Why are you here?!", I asked.
"I came to get you."
"I thought I told you clearly that I will not go back?!"
"Yes but just yesterday they discovered a possibility of curing you. They need you to try it."
"No. It'll not work. I've heard that countless times since five years ago. I won't believe you. I'm finally happy here and I got to be with my childhood friend already! Why do you have to be so cruel and take everything away from me?!" I ran to my room and shut my door.
"We'll be leaving tomorrow." I gasped.
No.
