"Nothing, it's just that you asked for dinner so I bet you will be busy tomorrow until noon." I said trying to sound normal.
"I think so, the meeting will start at 10 am and maybe it will take longer because the school administrators will also be there and..." he stopped.
"James, still there?" I asked in worry.
"Yeah, still here. By the way Kelly, keep safe okay. I'll hang up now." He said in a hurry.
"Wait James!" I didn't realize my voice went loud in desperation.
"Yes Kelly?" He asked, I sighed in relief.
"Is there any way you can postpone the meeting? I prefer having lunch than dinner." I reasoned in a hurry.
I heard him chuckle and said "I would also love to have lunch with you but there's nothing I can do Kelly, except..."
"Except what?" I asked in anticipation.
"Except... if Vincent changes his mind." He continued.
"Oh I see. It's fine James, you too keep safe. Bye." I said in a low voice.
"Bye Kelly, don't forget tomorrow, 7:30 pm." He said and the call ended.
Tomorrow, 10:30 am... the explosion will happen, no one will survive except... Josh. But why? How will it happen? What triggers the explosion? How could no one else survive other than Josh?
I sighed once again. If Vincent changes his mind... I hope so. I keep thinking of the other ways just to prevent the explosion that might happen tomorrow, thinking of Vincent about to die, I could feel my heart clenches at the thought. I just had a little moment with him, I barely see him… I don’t know much about Vincent.
But why? Why do I feel like I know him for so long? Why do I feel like I love him for eternity? Agh! This heart of mine is very hard to read. This isn’t me, I am a person who does not easily gave my heart, who does not run into danger, a person who is not too vocal… but meeting Vincent, I became the opposite, I just became a new person… for him.
I sighed as I stood up and realized that it is already getting dark. I went to my dorm and did my thing.
As I laid on my bed wearing my sleeping clothes, I tried to gather my mind to think of a good plan.
Just suddenly a brilliant idea popped into my head. This plan will be to my advantage... he will be mine and a devilish smile crept into my face.
Well, I hope it will work.
*Twinkle twinkle little star-*
"What can I do for you ma'am?" I asked through the phone.
"Kelly! I'm sorry, I merely forgot. Tomorrow is your birthday, so, girls’ day by tomorrow?" She asked, sounding with hope.
I merely forgot my own birthday too and it is just a perfect timing. What a luck!
"Stella... I'm sorry but I have plans for tomorrow." I said apologetically.
"Ow, what's your plan tomorrow then?" She asked, sounding sad.
"I-I have a d-date." I hesitantly said, afraid of her response.
"What!? With whom? Why didn't you tell me you have a boyfriend?" She asked continuously as she took a deep breath calming herself.
"We're not together but I planned on inviting him for a date... I-I'm already in love with him." After I said it, all I heard were screams coming from the other line.
"Who's the lucky guy Kelly?" I heard Elena asked with full of excitement just then I saw the inside of Stella's room through my vision. She's with Elena and Jenna.
I sighed and instead of getting mad, a smile crept on my face with a bit of nervousness and excitement.
"It's... Vincent." I said, direct to the point.
"What!?" They all yelled in chorus.
"Oh, it is probably not the Vincent we were thinking, right?" Jenna asked trying to prove her conclusion.
"Yeah, he probably isn't the Kelly has fall for." Elena concluded.
"He probably is." I said casually.
"What!?" The three yelled once again that I have to distance my phone away from my ears. They are so loud; don’t they fear that the other rooms might hear them?
I took a deep breath and, "I'm in love with Vincent Herraño."
"What!?" And again they screamed the hell out of them as if they saw a famous celebrity in person.
I hope Stella’s room is as soundproof as mine.
"Hey! Are you all okay?" I suddenly heard a voice of a guy on the other line… or probably not a soundproof.
"J-Josh?" I heard Elena say in surprise.
Oh just great! I sighed, now they woke all students in the special building.
"We heard screams coming from here and we thought something bad happened so I immediately rushed through here. Is everything alright?" He asked in worry and then suddenly I heard banging on the door.
"Stella?" That voice... it came from Kenneth, he must be the one banging the door.
"We are fine! Nothing happened." Stella yelled and the banging stopped.
"It was a mistake Josh, we were having fun together and you just ruined it." Elena stated arrogantly.
"Oh I see. I am so sorry, I-I should go back." Josh said apologetically.
"Yes, you should and oh, next time do not go into someone's room without permission." Elena said and I can picture Josh nodding and disappeared immediately.
All the girls sighed in relief.
"I thought the rooms were soundproof?" I asked.
"Oh Kelly, are you still there? Good." Stella said in relief as well.
"We forgot to close the window." Jenna answered my question.
I see. These girls might put themselves in danger. But then, I was glad someone were there for the rescue in case, I could sense their worries towards the girls.
"Where were we?" Elena intervenes. "Oh yeah, Vincent."
And again, I felt my cheeks heated hearing his name.
"Kelly, why of all people it has to be Vincent? The Vincent Herraño!?" Jenna asked and this was the only moment I heard her getting serious.
"How did the two of you met? How did you fall for him?" Stella asked in curiosity.
Do they forgot that they pushed me towards Vincent the other day? I sighed remembering the embarrassment they have done to me.
"I had a crush on him, and then one day I realized that... I love him." I said remembering the vision I had with Vincent... our future.
Stella giggled but I can feel the two in serious mode.
"Kelly, Vincent is a dangerous man." Jenna said.
