Katrina and Eunice approached her with smiles, seemingly giddy on her behalf."Your 'my loves' is on the way," Eunice whispered, because Brent was nearby, engrossed in his comics.The four of them were gathered under a large tree in the vacant lot, their usual meeting spot as a group of friends. The six of them were childhood friends who lived close to each other. They were just waiting for the last two, Nick and Joe.Three of them were girls and two were boys—yes, only two boys, because Joe was gay and the loudest among them.She quickly grabbed her comb and mirror, fixing her hair, which wasn't even messy to begin with. They were all high school students attending the same school. Only she and Brent were classmates; the others were in different sections.She placed the comb and mirror back into her small shoulder bag and waited for Joe and Nick to arrive. The girls were seated on a large fallen tree trunk while Brent was perched up in the tree, still absorbed in his comics.They soo

She was so excited that day. She and her friends were going to a resort. No boyfriends and girlfriends allowed, only the six of them. It had been a few weeks since she last saw Nick. She found out through social media that he had just broken up with his girlfriend. She reached out to him via chat, and from then on, they had been chatting every night. That's why she was confident enough to follow through with their plan.She really needed to do something to get his attention. She wasn't ugly, so she knew she had a good chance. She just had to take the initiative.They were using the van owned by Nick's family, and Nick was the one driving. Sitting next to her was Brent, who was sleeping with his mouth open, his head resting on her shoulder. She kept glancing at the mirror just to see Nick's face. Sometimes he caught her staring, but instead of looking away, she smiled at him, and he smiled back.Joe was singing loudly during the trip; even though he dressed like a girl, his voice was s

She buried her face again in the warm body she was lying on. The sensation of its body felt so comforting, as if she were using it as a pillow.Wait... What?!Body? Pillow?She suddenly opened her eyes and looked at the chest she was lying on. She only then remembered what had happened last night, which completely woke her up.It felt like watching a movie replaying in her mind—the kiss between her and Brent.God! Brent was her first kiss! And not just any kiss, but a torrid kiss!What's more, she felt like she was already an expert on the intensity of their kiss last night. Her cheeks immediately flushed.How would she face her friend now, as if nothing had happened? She needed to get up and leave the tent before Brent woke up.It was still early in the morning, she thought, because no sunlight had come out yet. She carefully moved her face away from Brent's chest and looked up to see if he was still asleep.She almost screamed in surprise when their eyes met, looking so serious, as

They were in the kitchen of their house while Joe was cooking. Their house had become their favorite hangout since Joe's mom was always away.Eunice and Katrina were there, chatting while sneakily snacking on what Joe was cooking. They only quieted down when Brent entered suddenly, carrying a large bouquet of flowers. Her eyes widened as she stared at what he was holding.They might get caught at this rate!"Wow! That's beautiful! Who's that for? Are you courting someone now?" Katrina asked excitedly.Joe glanced over and also looked at what Brent was holding."Oh no!" their flamboyant friend suddenly yelled and turned back to what he was cooking.Brent scratched his head awkwardly."Uh, Zy asked me to buy this. She said she'll put it on Auntie's altar," Brent lied as he approached and handed her the flowers."Here's your change," he added, pretending.Their eyes exchanged a meaningful glance as she accepted the flowers. Without thinking, she smelled them. She wanted to smile because

The next day, as soon as she woke up, she immediately called Brent. She thought he wouldn't answer, but after just one ring, he picked up."Hello," she heard his clear voice.She swallowed nervously."B-Brent... I, ah..." she was about to apologize."I'm sorry. I'm so sorry, Love. I was about to take a shower so I could come over to you," he quickly cut in.Love? Out of everything he said, only one word echoed in her mind. He had never said "I love you" to her before.She almost wanted to cry with happiness. Because since last night, she was sure she no longer had feelings for Nick. Brent had completely taken over her heart. In fact, for their first monthsary, she herself would announce their relationship to their entire group of friends. It was her surprise gift to him."Zy?" she heard Brent's voice again.She forgot that he was still on the other line."I missed you," she suddenly said, almost on the verge of tears.He laughed softly."We were together just yesterday, but I missed y
