Love Signs

How to love and be loved? How does it feel to fall in love? If maybe that's a food then I won't be satisfied. Love will not feed me anyway! There are many more important things in the world that need to be focused on.

Love?

Not my priority.

Not even in my list.

Love for me is just a hindrance.

How did I say that? That's another story to tell.

I'm Vida Valencia B. Aranetta, 1st year college student in Heart Academy School. This is a famous school. How did I enter in an exclusive school? It's simple, I took exams to get into scholarship programs with my weighted average of 95.9% in highschool. I wouldn't say I'm smart but it seems like it already is.

I am currently sitting in one of the chairs. There are five chairs and a round table in front of me and I am also quite close to the stage. The environment of the gymnasium has aa very classic design, and since it's February, month of love, my eyes hurts with the red design in every corner. I don't know but my eyes really hurt with bright colors, well it suits because it's mixed with other colors but it really hurt my eyes.

"Hey! I guess you are thinking deep ha," I was surprised when someone tapped me on my right shoulder. Phiabella, my best friend. She was wearing a glowing and elegant pink and red night gown. "Wait, can you stand up Vida?" She pulled me over and I could do nothing but to stand up.

"Wow, you look so bitter Vida Valencia my friend! Hello? It's feb-love today, and the color of your gown is black?How dare you ruin this party? Arg, can't believe you!" she shouted at me, embarrassed with what I'm wearing. Others will not be able to hear it because the music is loud and the students have their own group. Actually, it was just a welcome party because Dean Heart's son came home from Japan, he didn't say why and another thing, he was also with the children of other board of trustees of this school.

Yeah, Heart is the surename of the Dean. Cringe.

"But, wow, you're sexy tonight wahhhh!" She even hugged me, I was a bit choked so I removed her hug from my neck. "Just tonight?" I said jokingly.

"Yes! Just for today, kidding! HAHAHAHA!" she also said jokingly. That's really how she is, noisy.

"Oh, there are Mikes," She pointed out to Mikes, Lydian and Thaliya. We are five in a group. I and Phiabella came over to kiss them on cheeks, to greet them.

"I'm not going to wonder why you're wearing black mini gown now," Mikes said sarcastically. "Tsh, if I were only a girl, I would be the most beautiful tonight, and I would be presented as the star of the night." He even posed a few times which made us laugh. Yes, Mikes' heart is a woman. He is handsome and that cannot be denied, and if maybe he is a woman, he is really kinda gorgeous. He is wearing an elegant Tuxedo that was definitely made by a famous designer. So did Lydian and Thaliya whose night gowns were really beautiful, and I looked like a demon to the five of us. Pft.

We sat down, hayss here we go again, I want to urinate. The MC was already speaking in front, but I am really want to pee.

"Wait, I'll just to the bathroom," I said.

"You want to pee?" Phia asked, she's referring to urinate. "As usual, you always pee, do you want me to come with you Vida?" Thaliya also asked me.

I shook my head, "no, I can do it hehehe," I refused. "Are you sure?" they asked again and I nodded.

I made my way to the rest room inside the gymnasium. When I finished urinating, I examined my appearance in the mirror. I am wearing a Black elegant long glittery party gown. "It's hard to urinate, wearing this gown," I whispered to myself. I just rented it, and I also need to return it tomorrow.

I was just outside the restroom but the screams I heard from the gymnasium were very loud. It was as if they had seen a famous actor, an asian idol that seems very handsome.

"OMG! They are so handsome!"

"Shocks, just now I saw Dean's son Leo and he was so handsome!"

"That's true! But the three of them are really good looking! Trio forever!"

Trio?

Leo?

I'm a Virgo.

Not compatible for love, blurry, impossible.

Wait, why am I thinking that? His name is Leo and another thing, I don't care about that person or to the three of them. Bitter if bitter but I don't believe in love. I don't.

Yes, I do love and care for my friends but to really love and go crazy? That seems vague, it's hard to trust right now.

I don't want to just get hurt in the end. I don't want to die in tears and aggrieved.

As I went back to my seat I looked at the stage, there were three men dominating there, the one in the middle was holding a mic.

"Her," He pointed in front but I ignored it. I didn't bother to look to someone he's pointing out.

I was about to continue walking when I saw everyone staring at me. There were also rumors that I could not hear much. It was just embarrassing because I was the only one standing in the middle. What's the problem? Because of my outfit? Tsh.

I looked at the front of the stage again. "Yes you, come and dance with me." My eyes literally widened, is he talking with me? That's weird.

I didn't move from where I am standing, I just saw a tall man coming down, slanted eyes, pointed nose, red lips, wait! I don't care about that person, whoever he is!

I was about to walk when I saw him speed up and now...

Today is...

He's already in front of me.

Is he real? He's undeniably handsome, he looks like an artist. An Asian which Japanese, with American and Filipino blood, I can't categorized but he really is a gorgeous man.

But I don't care! Dzuuh!

He held out his right hand to me, "wanna dance with me? It's too far for me to walk just to get to you," he winked at me, but I winced.

"Did I tell you to walk far?" He stared a little, and smile. I heard women squeal and the others seemed disgusted.

"Will you reject the son of the owner of this school? Think of it," I frowned on what he said. Am I obligated to him? Tsk.

"Alright," I put my hand on the palm he held out to me, he pulled it and placed it on his shoulder, then wrapped his right arm around my waist.

The song started to play, he took me to the middle of the gym where I was surrounded by staring eyes. I don't want to do this but I have no choice, he's the son of this academy. And, I'm only a scholar.

Love is something more to say, every words already been written, every chord already played.

A song lyrics. Interesting.

I rolled my eyes inside the gym. Why are we the only two dancing here? Tsk. I even looked at the front of the stage where his two companions were sitting earlier. I don't know if they're laughing.

You, make everything make sense, every melody hits different, every line and sentiment, sounds brand new, after you...

A love song. Psh.

I can't breathe, the smell of his scent! My head hurts from this smell.

Purple rain, is only rain without you, yesterday is just another day...

"You seem to be having trouble breathing, is it because of my presence?" was he conceived by the thickness of his face?

Hallelujah is an old song by an old men in a suit, and I guess love is just a word without you...

Looks like the lyrics is for the two people whose so inlove, that's not the two of us.

"Excuse me? Actually, I don't want the smell of your perfume, my head hurts from the smell,"I replied frowning.

"Why are you dancing with me now? Do you know me?" he laughed at what I said, what's funny?

The song is also good but it doesn't suit right now.

"I like your attitude lady in a black gown," he winked at me again. Is he sick?

"Are you crazy?" he laughed again, I was going to struggle but he was so attached to me and I didn't like it. What would other people think of me now?

"Don't worry, I don't like you and you are not my type," I gasped a little, wow. He's tripping me.

"Am I asking if you like me? And you think I cared? Let me tell you, I don't believe in love, I've never been in love in my entire life. I just accepted your hand so you wouldn't be embarrassed," I said straight to him, he just smiled but looked disgusted. It was his fault.

"Maybe this is the sign,"

"Sign of what?"

"Sign for you to fall in love," I grinned and shook my head.

"That won't happen and I can't allow that to happen," I insisted. I'm fine with my cats that I just found on the road and my dog named Zafra that Mikes gave me as a gift on my last birthday. And at least, they won't leave me.

"Let's see then," He winked, and he really think he's sure of what he's saying huh?

"Tsk." I have nothing more to say, he can't understand me either.

I don't want to fall in love, period.
