I CANNOT BELIEVE MY EYES!

"What the..?!" I cried. "Why it's you every time?!"

It was the master of evilness, Grace. "What do you mean by that?! Can't you see, I AM LATE!" she yelled. I guess she's right. It was foolish of me to expect anyone to bump on me when it's late for school. 

"Yeah...we both are," I sighed. She punched me on my nose and ran away, saying, "Shut up, only one can be the late lateef, dumbo!"

She's a very evil stupid girl. Hope my childhood love will NEVER be like her...

~~~X~~~

"Jake, you're late. Now after class, feel free to clean the classroom. Specially the gums on the benches and desks," the teacher said. I sighed and sat on my seat. "Good. Now where were we, class?"

I surfed through my bag to get the book. "Ma'am you were telling something about the new student..." someone said.

"Right. So class, the new student's father is a V.I.P, and I hope you'll behave nicely with her. And Jake, I think she knows you very well!" 

I looked at the teacher. She smiled at me. "Welcome, Miss Glaze..." she announced. And a beautiful girl walked in. I couldn't stop blushing; I could hear my heart beat go crazy. She was just....a wonderful star. She walked to me and smiled, "Jake?"

"Y-yeah?" I stammered, lost in her beauty.

"Do you..." she leaned forward and whispered in my ears, "...remember your childhood love?"

A smile prevailed without my control. "I could never forget her..." I whispered back. She looked at me with a nervous look. My smile vanished with her staring at me like that. She ran to her seat as the teacher glared at us. 

I really don't understand what just happened. Should I haven't had said that? 

~~~X~~~

Skipping to after school...

"What's wrong with you now?" I asked Grace, who was looking a little down. 

"Nothing, alright!" she ran away. What is wrong with everyone? 

I followed her to the cliff where....I had forgotten her earlier. I grabbed her by the shoulder and turned her face to face me. "I ain't joking, okay? If something's wrong then tell me before your dad kills me," I said.

"W-who is your childhood love?" she asked, "I heard the new student, Glaze, talk about it in the washroom."

I blushed. "I think it's Glaze."

She frowned at me. "Well, good luck with that." She went away, skateboarding. I shrugged and walked away. 

I DON'T CARE IF SHE'S UPSET....RIGHT?

~~~X~~~

It was midnight, and my eyes were wide open. I couldn't sleep. I was feeling so....worried! I picked up my phone from the bedside table and dialed Grace's number. It kept on ringing and ringing, but none to pick it up. I hung up and threw the phone on the floor. Can't believe it still didn't got smashed after such a good throw!

I tried to go to sleep again, but my mind was full of anxiety. Why should I even care? What is she to me? 

"Alright, this is it," I mumbled as I jumped out of bed. I knew I wouldn't have any chance of getting outdoors at this time of the night. The J-stars will kill me!

"Just jump or I'll kick you!"

The window! It wouldn't be so bad if I jump out of the window, would it? 

~~~X~~~

I ran my way to Grace's. But then, something struck my head. What if she isn't even there? I mean, I've been hanging out with her for almost a month now. And if my mind says that she's not there, then....

"Seriously?!" I wailed through my anger. I know exactly where she must be. 

~~~X~~~

"Hey, Evil Queen!" I called to her.

She turned around at me. "W-what're you doing here?!"

"That should've been asked by me!"

"Well," she looked at ground. "N-nothing." 

I pulled her by the arm. "Look, I know something's wrong, okay? And I want you to talk about it."

She was staring at me, blushing. We were too close; less than ten centimeters, I guess. I let go of her hand, my face all red. "I....I don't wanna talk, alright! I JUST DON'T!"

I frowned. "Alright then, do whatever you want! A-and so you know, I'm going on a date with Glaze....so g'bye!" 

I turned to go when I paused to look back at Grace. "Just don't leave her sick like you did to me....here!"

"I WON'T, EVIL!" I yelled and walked away. 

~~~X~~~

I jumped on my bed. I hate that creep! I thought she.....NEVER MIND!

"A-and so you know, I'm going on a date with Glaze....so g'bye!"

Why in the world did I said that?! If she tells her dad about it, I'm sure I'd be buried deep into the ground. Suddenly, a tear streamed down my cheeks. Wait, I'm crying?! What is happening to me? Why am I feeling this way?

I closed my eyes...

"Shut up, Stupid-Girl-Kisser!"

"Man, you were snoring!"

"W-who is your childhood love?"

"I think it's Glaze..."

"Well, good luck with that!"

"Do you remember your childhood love?"

"I can never forget her..."

"I CAN NEVER FORGET HER..."

Never...never...never!

~~~X~~~

I woke up with a fright. And the first thing that pops in my head is: WHO IS MY CHILDHOOD LOVE?

I dressed up for school and went downstairs. The J-stars greeted me as usual, but I didn't reply to any of 'em. Dad sat beside me in the dinning hall, but I got up for school. I just wasn't feeling okay....Maybe all I needed was a love expert.

~~~X~~~

As I stepped in the classroom, somebody choked me out with a tight hug. "Jakey, we're going on a date!"

I turned around to find Glaze smiling at me. "W-who told you that?" I asked, surprised.

"Grace did!" she replied as she pointed to the evil queen in her seat. 

"Y-yeah....about that...." I was about to tell her no, when she put her finger on my lips.

"Shh. You needn't say anything, I promise you'll be fine. Now, after school?"

I couldn't have said no after that. "Thanks....just be ready after school!" I said as I sat on my seat, my eyes zoomed closely at Grace. And all I felt was a knife stabbed in my heart....
