"Mal, why did you turn down Declan's invitation to be your date on the Festival Ball?" Nick asked me after our last class of the afternoon, I am still edgy thinking about my date with his brother, later tonight.
"You want me to change my mind Nicholas?"
"Of course not! I'd love to be your date Malia, I am just curious why you chose me instead of Hale, how I wish you will allow me to be your date forever." He said looking sad.
"There is no particular reason Nick, I just want you to be my date, besides you are closer to me compare to anyone aside from Freda, I want Hale to be with her."
"Yeah! About that I think Freda will only get hurt at the end, Hale is in love with you, like me, how are we going to forget you Mal? Please tell me, and I can't believe my brother would, actually, came over here just to see you, I think he has more chance compared to Hale and I." Nick is staring at me like I am the most beautiful girl in Erthesia.
