"Well, I'm really in love with you too," Venus sits in front of me here in our kitchen, because I'm making cookies to give to Tagan later at school.
"Why?" I ask her.
He sighed before saying "Duh, I was embarrassed last night and now you're alone again?" I smiled at him and put the cookies I made in the box. “I want to show him and to his bandmates that I’m a true fan,” I said while decorating the cookies inside the box.
"It's up to you, Celine," she just let me go and finish my things.
After fixing the cookies, Venus and I went straight to school but we went to the Cooking Club because I knew they would pass by Tagan. "As for Celine's time, we might be sick of it," Venus said while leaning in the walk. "Just a minute Venus" I whisper and peek at the door, and I'm right here they pass, it's early so they don't have many fans of a great time, Celine.
When they got past the door of the cooking club I immediately went out and called them.
"Wait," they stop walking to face me. "Yes?" Aiden said.
I bent down and lifted the two boxes I was holding to hand to them. “For you,” I almost whisper it because I’m trembling here. I feel so nervous.
“Cookies?” Tove took the box from my hand so I looked up at them. Tagan is just staring at them like he doesn’t care about my presence. "Thank you, you're a fan?" Tove asks me whiling inspecting the box.
I nodded quickly and smiled at them. "Wow, thank you, wait what's that box why is there Tagan?" Aiden took the box of cookies for Tagan. I saw the edge of Tove's lip rise when I looked at it. "Tagan, this is for you, I was made especially for you," Aiden seems to tease Tagan.
I saw Tagan's gaze cover it so I had hope that he would accept it but he didn't just walk away and Aiden and Tove followed him."He did not accept it, again." I whisper, sigh with furstration, and go back to the cooking club room and take my bag "Oh what's up in the classroom?" Venus asked.
“Let’s go,” I said. Second attempt failed Celine, it's ok you still have 100 chances left. I will not give up that easily Tagan. I want you to notice and remember my name…
Fighting, Celine!

"Tagan, this is for you," they are now sitting here in the spot in the field and I had the courage to hand them the macaroons I made.
"Wow, macaroons bro," Aiden accepted a box I was holding, and Tove and I looked at it. "Ahm, hold this, it's for you," I handed him the box of macaroons again but he just looked at me and shook my hand.
The box of macaroons I was holding fell because of his watering, He stood up and left while the three of us were left here and still staring at the discarded macaroons from the box. "Oww sorry," Aiden patted my shoulder before they followed Tagan to leave.
I let out a heavy sigh before kneeling on the ground to pick up the macaroons that were thrown away. When I got that, I went to the back of the senior high building where there were cats, I just fed them the macaroons that were thrown away.
“Meow,” I said and feed them. "What's delicious?" I asked a kitten who was happily eating the macaroons I was holding.
“10th attempt, and still rejected,” but I won’t stop Tagan.

“Celine, what is this again? Cheese cake for Tagan?” Venus stood beside me while watching what I was doing. I smiled at her “Yup.” I said. “What? You know what, you're just wasting your time, that guy just doesn't accept it,” Venus said frowning.
"But Aiden and Tove like it," I whisper. “How about Tagan? Isn't he the only reason for the treats you make, did he ever taste one of your treats? Celine?”
"You know what, I'm sure this time, he will accept." I manage to smile and imagine him eating this cheese cake. "Good luck on that, Celine," Venus shook her head as if she had lost the fight and just watched me do what I was doing. I enjoy doing this but it's more enjoyable because for Tagan.
"Mommy I need to go to school now, I have some cheese cake left in the refrigerator. Try to eat it mom bye love you." I shouted from the door with Venus.
“Yes, darling, I love you, bye,” mom went out of the Garden and wave at me. We got in Venus' car and went straight ahead to the University.
"Good luck," Venus said before I opened the door of the cooking club room to approach Tagan in the hallway, I gave her a sweet smile before finally leaving. I stop and glance at Tagan standing at the hallway with Aiden and Tove.
"You can do this Celine!" I whisper and start to walk through their place.
"Hello, Tagan," I almost shutter while pronouncing his name but it's a good thing not.
"Hi," Tove greeted me even though Tagan was the name I mentioned. "Cheese Cake for you" I lifted the box of Cheese Cake for Tagan to see.
"I don't want it," Tagan said irritated, and looked at me badly. “It’s delicious to make it’s a mix of blue berry cheese cake and cherry glaze,” I said. I want to convince him that it is delicious so that he will accept it this time.
"I said I don't want it don't you understand" he stood up and passed me so I pulled his hoodie from behind it stop him from walking.
"All right Tagan just try it's a delicious promise." He shook my arm to remove my grip on his hoodie. "Tagan, I like you," I said bravely before he left but he just shot me a cold look.
Their fans came so Aiden and Tove quickly stood up to follow Tagan, they walked away but I tried to chase Tagan again but their fans pushed me because even they were chasing them.
It was a hard accidental push that leads me to fall off the ground. I dropped the Cheese I was carrying because I fell on the floor and unfortunately it also fell on me and was thrown in my face.
I catches everyone’s attention because of that and I also saw Tagan turn to me but he just glanced and walked away like nothing happened to me.
“Oh my, hahaha,” some girls are taking pictures of me while laughing at me.
“What a cheap, hahaha”
"Yuck gross!"
"Good for you! Because you're so close to Tagan, that's what you get!!!"
I shook my head and try to stand up by myself because I know no one will help me here. I was walking away from the village area, I went to the back of the building and sat next to the kittens here and cried.
"Why is it that I'm still being pushed, it's embarrassing," I whisper to the cat-like I'm talking to her. Tears started to fall from my eyes because of the pain of Tagan's rejection. In the pain of embarrassment that happened to me.
I feel deep pain, not just in my hips but also in how Tagan gives me those kinds of stares. "I just want him to taste it…. but this won't stop me Tagan I'll still try my very best, now that he knows I like him I will make sure he remembers my name this time."
“Tagan, I'll do my very best this time," I whispered.
20 YEARS AGO "Ma don ako oh !!!" A little girl keeps on pocking her ma’am skirt as she pointed the glass door to the garden. "Just come back right away Kalila ah" Her mother hesitated said and let go of her hands. The little girl run to the glass door but immediately stop I she heard something. “Hmm..hmmm… ohhohh…” a lovely harmonic voice where surrounding the whole wide garden of Salazar back yard that is what she heard. As a handsome little boy hum certain music. The little boy didn’t know that underneath the glass door through the garden, the little girl standing and watching him silently. Cute little smiles were puzzled in her lips, as she admires the voice that coming from the handsome little boy. The little girl decided to step out of the door, she silently went near him and accidently step on a small tree branch that made a loud sounds that stop the little boy from humming. The little girl’s whole body feels nervous as their eyes met.She made an awkward smile at him an

Coco's point of view"Do you want to kill your son Kalila !!!" Aunt and her but Kalila remained stunned.Since we went home here in the Philippines, she became so sad and silent but she never forgot about her baby’s health she still eats a lot and drinks what she should drink."Auntie, let's let her go first, maybe she's just awake" I said and let Kalila go back to her room.I was the one who put away the broken plate. "I don't know what I'm going to do with that boy. He doesn't talk well with us anymore. His dad. Tell us what really happened when you went to Europe Coline.""Auntie, maybe it's better that we just let Kali go, she'll be ok too, I know that…" I said and tried to avoid her question.What they know aunt is that Kali and Tove broke up because they like the two of them and they don’t love each other anymore but they don’t really know what really happen in Europe Kalila choose to hide it to them and clean that Bastards name…I went up to his room and found him snoring and s

I can’t help but to cover my mouth and control my tears while watching them. ***Kalila’s point of vew“It’s m-me K-Kalila” I said and tried to reach for his hands but he quickly react and move away from me making me gasp from his actions. “Sorry but I don’t remember someone named like you sorry” he respectfully apologies like he really means it. Which really breaks my heart, why it all seems so real, why it seems so real that he doesn’t know me. Why do I feel his blank stare at me? Those eyes they use to look at me like I’m the only person in the world but now I don’t see anything….I held back my warning tears as I watched him closely. “Tove can we stop this joke anymore, I what to talk to you about a serious thing” I tried to chuckle a little for him to understand that I’m not playing with

I stiffened and trembled to hard after hearing those voices again after a long time, as if he wanted to cry immediately when he heard his voice.I badly know that it’s him.“H-hello” i can’t even utter a proper word right now.“Yes?

"KALILA DON'T RUN !!!" I didn’t bother to listen to Coco, because the only thing on my mind right now is that I found her and I know where she is.I need to talk to him.I quickly made my way to my room, I grab my phone and laptop immediately. I searched for information about him.There was a lot of information about Fayre but when it came to Tove, only revealing to the public was there.I looked for sources they could contact…Even though my eyes are dimming because of my tears, I still try to find a way to talk to him.“Kali calm down” I heard Coco opens the door but I agnored what she said and continue finding.I can do this, I need to talk to him…"Kali hey calm down don't stress your self can be with Bab -----"“HOW CAN I CALM DOWN COCO I ALREADY FIND HIM!!!!
