To Daniella's great curiosity, she followed that shadow, and she came to the garden with very little light coming from the light of the class rooms outside.
 "Wait! Isn't that a human?" I asked myself, but I was already feeling scared. I hugged myself because I was suddenly overwhelmed by the surroundings, so I decided to go back, but as I faced the direction of the prom, I suddenly understood why I felt that way. "You're here," I said to Charice. 
 
 She raised an eyebrow and grinned. "Your heart seems happy because of what happened earlier."
 
 "Which?" I wondered.
 "I can see how William hugs you and dances like you're a lover!"
 
 "Or what can I do? He took the initiative to do that."
 She looked at me furiously. "He can't like you, Daniella!"
 
 "Do you hold his heart when you say that he can't like me?"
 
 "I don't want to go back to another country where you're his girlfriend and we're not getting along!"
 
 "Why are you blaming me for everything? You two really have a problem here."
 
 Charice's tears flowed, but her face remained brave. "I love him, and I wish I were what he liked and not you!"
 
 I suddenly laughed softly. "You are selfish then. What if he wants something else that you can't accept because you are not the chosen one? In your question, I know better what to do if the person I like doesn't like me. In my years of admiring William, I've learned that if he doesn't like me, I'll just move on, but you should too, if you want. Why imprison someone if they don't want to? You can't be the only one who's happy; you two have to be the same. "
 
 "No, you can't understand what I'm saying, Daniella, because he just met you. We're in high school, but I've known each other since we were kids, so is it bad to ask him to choose me when it's been a long time since the two of us got together and knew each other’s personalities?" Charice’s tears streamed down her cheeks.
 My eyes are teary. "So if it's okay with you, Daniella, just stay away from him. Is that okay? "
 
 "As long as it doesn't come from his own mouth, I give up because I won't benefit from what I'm doing. I won't let go. Charice, we're both hurting because of William, but in different situations. Now be happy that we're just who he chooses."
 
 Charice shook her head as she walked backwards, so she suddenly stumbled and sat on the grass. I was ready to help Charice when someone spoke, so the two turned around with tears in their eyes, but Charice's tears were worse than Daniella's, so she had to be stopped and restrained.
 "What's going on here?"
 
 At that moment, Charice thought it was her chance to ruin Daniella with William. "William, help me!" Tears welled in Charice's eyes again.
 "What just happened to you two?" William came over and helped Charice to her feet, but she didn't seem to be able to step on one foot properly. "Take me home, William. I just talked to her nicely, but she pushed me! " Charice improved her acting even more.
 William frowned at Daniella. "Is it true?"
 
 "No!" I looked at Charice. "It is entirely your fault that you are sitting on the ground. I didn't push you! "
 
 "You even told me to leave and just come back to another country so that only you and William could come here, so you pushed me!"
 
 My eyebrows met. "That's not true!"
 
 Charice looked at William. "That's what she told me, William. She was angry, so she did this to me. "
 
 "Don't believe her, William; she's lying. I don't tend to scare people. "
 
 William looked serious in my eyes. "Wait for me here. I'll just take Charice to the car. We'll talk. " William carried Charice, bridal style, and before leaving, Charice smiled, which meant she was the winner and Daniella was the one who was bad in William’s sight.
 In a few moments, William came back, and they were now facing each other. "I didn't know you could do that to Charice, Daniella."
 
 My eyes widened. I had a vigorous answer. "I didn't do that. She just stumbled while walking backwards, but I didn't push her! "
 
 "I told you before that if she can't stay away from you, it's up to you to adjust and just understand her."
 
 I grinned. "Why should I adjust here, William? She's the only one who tries to approach me and say something not good, even if I'm just quiet, and then I'll turn out to be bad here! "
 
 "You're the one who knows best, Daniella, so you're the one who should adjust. The two of you can't do anything because pain from both of you will result. "
 
 My tears are nearly falling down her cheeks, but I wouldn't show them to William. She still tried not to be obvious. "Why? Is it because she's your childhood friend and I'm a woman who likes you? Is that so? "
 
 "That's not what I meant, Daniella."
 
 "What's wrong? So why should I try to understand her? She's always ruining my day, even when I'm quiet, but when it comes to you, she becomes an angel even if it's not true! "
 "Stop," William's said softly.
 "I'll say what I want to say now. After all, you're looking at me as having no desire because of Charice actions. " I took a deep breath. "I can't expect you to like me either until we talk about what you're saying as a childhood friend, and I'm the one who has to adjust between the two of us. For what for you? You're too confident in yourself then."
 
 "That's enough."
 
 Tears have already fallen from my eyes with so many emotions. "Why is it so hard for you to get William? Why don't you just tell me to stop when this is not happening?"
 
 "I told you to stop!" William's strong voice shouted.
 I smiled. "I said a while ago that if the word I give up doesn't come out of your mouth, I won't stop, but now I can reverse what I said a while ago." I stared into William's eyes, and it was obvious that he was starting to hold back the edge of tears. "If this is also the situation before we can leave this school, I'd better give up because I'm not sure if I'll win in the end. There's no guarantee for you, William, so I'll let it go even if I don't think you gave me that chance to find out if you feel the same way about me at least one percent of the time."
 
 My tears became traitors because they appeared again. "Starting today, I will forget who you are and how you became a part of my life. You will just be a stranger to my system, and my heart will be stone because of you. "
 
 I had already started to walk, and William tried to hold my hand, but I avoided it. "Can you calm down first? The more you don't know what you're saying because of your emotions. "
 
 I showed William a smile. "For everything I said to you, William, it looks like you’re not destined for me, so it’s better to hurt me right now because in a few years I’ll heal the wound in my heart, so whoever you love someday, be happy if whoever she is. " I kept walking and left. William was stunned, but the tears that he had been holding back were slowly falling.
 Daniella returned to Bree's table, but William left and took Charice home. Before the party ended, William and Daniella were presented as the faces of the night, but Daniella stood in the middle of the stage to take a picture, so the result was that she did not have an escort in her picture.
 They have reached the other side of Charice's house, William, and it is quiet around them. Even inside their house, Charice seems to be quiet as well. For a few seconds, they didn't speak, and Charice wondered why William hadn't come down to carry her into the house.
 
 "William, won't you carry me into the house?"
 
 No emotion could be seen on William's face, not even in his eyes. "So that's your foot to get out of the car and walk into your house."
 
 She wonders why William said that even though he knew Daniella had pushed her. "How can I walk when you saw what happened and you even carried me to your car?"
 
 "You can go out," William still calmly said.
 "My other foot is sprained, and I can't step on it with my one foot. How can I get out of here in your car? "
 
 "Let's not fool around here, Charice. I know you won't sprain your foot earlier. "
 
 She blinked her eyes a few times. "What are you saying?"
 
 William looked at her. "I've seen everything before. You can even sit on the lawn, and it's your fault. Why? "
 
 She was devastated and nervous about what he said. "Did you see...?" was her stuttering question.
 "Yes, and I also heard what you two were talking about."
 
 "Then why did you show that a minute ago when you knew I was just lying?"
 
 He sighed. "Because as long as you two aren't so far apart, no one wants to stop. It doesn't mean that I told that to Daniella, you're the one I chose for the both of you."
 
 "So, Daniella is on your side like that!" Gradually, her breathing quickened with anger.
 "I don't take sides with you two, and if you can stay away from each other, this isn't happening."
 
 "She's the one to tell you about that."
 
 Suddenly, the aura on William's face changed from what Charice had said. "She already did."
 
 Charice frowned and didn't know what it meant. "Maybe you're happy with what you did because you upset her in the fight just to get my attention, so you can have a party because your suffering is over." William started the car again. "Go down."
 
 Charice could have done nothing but come down quietly to hear what it said, but before William left, it spoke again. "The three of us won't be happy." He closed the door where Charice got off and finally left while Charice was still staring at the road where William's car had disappeared.
 Alexa let go of the pen, and her tears slowly trickled down the page of the book. The ink wouldn't even spread because the words in the book disappeared on purpose because it had already happened to Daniella and William.
 Lexie came in and wondered why she was crying. "Alexa, are you in pain? Tell me! " Lexie quickly approached her.
 She wiped the tear from her cheek. "I'm okay."
 
 "Why are you crying then?" Lexie wondered.
 Alexa closed the book first, fearing that Lexie would notice that there was nothing written on the pages. "My scene is just as painful in my chapters today," she said.
 Lexie raised her head. "Oh my gosh, Alexa, even if you're the one writing, you're crying in your own scene. You're the one for whom the reason that's happening is because you're the writer, aren't you? "
 
 She smiled. "It's more effective for the reader, then. I'm the only writer who cried, how can the readers in the future feel right?"
 "Are you close to finishing what you're writing? "
 
 "Yes, almost."
 
 "Well then, let's just eat first. I'm suddenly hungry. I passed by street vendors on the way, so I got hungry. I also bought some for you. You can eat solid food, but just don't overdo it."
 
 The two started eating, and it looked like Alexa didn't have much to eat, so Lexie just shook her head.
