ROSALYN
"Class dismiss."
"Thank you, Miss."
"Yes, take care on your way." 
While I was preparing my things Allen called me, I nod at him and get my bag.
"Are you going to the library?"
"Nope, I'll go straight home."
"So, I'll just send our driver to your house?"
"Is that needed? I can just take a cab since the location was on the invitation itself."
"No, I don't want to trouble you. Pretty please."
I then crossed my arms and sighed. He smiled cutely.
"So, is it a yes?"
"If you say so."
"I'll go now, see you later."
"Yes, see you."
I wave my hand at him and he immediately got inside the car and left. I then was picked up by my Daddy Jeff and he is the one who put on my make up even choosing the right dress.
"O my gosh, my baby is so beautiful!"
"Really?"
"Yes."
"Thank you, Daddy."
After taking photos of me the maids told us that the car was already outside.
"I'll go now, Daddy."
"Take care okay?"
"Yes. I love you, see you later."
"I love you too, Rosalyn. Enjoy the party."
"Mm."
I get my pouch, my gift, and the invitation before I go outside. I wave my hands to daddy before I get inside the car. I was looking outside the whole trip and when we arrive at the hotel there is a staff who escort me inside.
Now, I understand why Allen doesn't like parties like this. Seeing their elegant dress and suits together with those expensive things that were shining, they looks intimidating.
"Rosalyn!"
"Al, Happy birthday again!"
"Thank you."
Then I handed my gift to him.
"So, what is this?"
"Just open that later. I was having a hard time choosing this gift, don't be disappointed. I bet you already receive something like that but way more expensive."
"I was fine with anything. You here was already enough."
"I won't fall for that."
I then smirked at him and he shake his head.
"I know."
He laugh and held my hand.
"Let's talk over there."
"Okay."
When we sat at our table the waiter started to give us the menu to us. I just point out the things I would like to try and choose orange juice. While we are waiting for our food two guys started to approach our table. They must be Al's friends.
"Hey, Allen. Happy birthday."
"Happy birthday, bro."
"Thank you."
"So, who is she?"
"My friend Rosalyn, Rosalyn this is my friends. Tristan and Kurt."
"Hello. Nice to meet you."
"Oh, so you are the girl on the second floor."
"Yes, I think?"
"Where's David?"
"She got a girl and take note we just arrive and he did flirt with her first."
"That nerd?"
Allen laughed and they nod.
"Sorry, Rosalyn. You must be confused."
"It's fine. Go and talk with them first."
"Your girlfriend was cool. Don't worry we won't take too much of his time with you." 
Said Tristan and I shake my head.
"We are just friends."
"Oh, then would you like to date me? I'm single." 
My eyes widened when he winked and he did laugh in the end. Allen pushed Kurt's face and said sorry to me.
"Don't mind this guy. He was losing a few screws in his head."
"Let's go back to David and don't flirt with Rosalyn,"
Tristan said firmly and pulled Kurt.
"Why so strict?"
"What I'm trying to say is our nerd friend was not wearing his thick glass today. He just turned into a hot Cinderella. This is just once in a lifetime we need to see it."
"Idiot. Cinderella was not a nerd."
"Argh, what I mean is he transformed! Just where is your head?"
"Don't be like that, what if Rosalyn really did think that I'm not using my head?"
"Pft."
"Just kidding."
"So, he plans to outshine the star tonight?" 
Said Allen, and both of them nodded. When our food was being served Tristan and Kurt help Allen with eating it. They were sharing the same fork and glass.
"Stop helping me!"
"How come you are like this to your visitors?"
"Shut up, get your own food."
"Later."
"Just another-"
"Everyone may I have your attention."
They stopped and I then focused on Allen's father.
"I would like to take this opportunity to thank our beloved guests for attending to my son's birthday."
Then we all clap our hands.
"I would like to invite my son here in front."
"I'll be back."
"Okay."
We all clap once again when Allen finally was beside his father.
"I really pushed this party since I also like to announce to everyone some very good news. Since..."
"What could that be? Him finally inheriting his father's company?"
Kurt murmurs and Tristan shakes his head.
"Haha, what if he will introduce his fiancée? What do you think Rosalyn?"
"Like what Kurt said maybe it was in line with the business thingy."
"I would like to say this very good news that Miller and Fleming agreed that we would like our kids to marry each other. Angel, can you please be here in front?"
What was that? Did I hear it wrong?
"Tristan, did you already hear this before? How are you able to tell that?"
"I was just joking about that!"
"Damn, I'm a bit sleepy but after hearing that it just left my body."
"Everyone this is Angel Fleming, my son's beautiful fiancée."
The birthday party of Allen that I'm looking forward to was a total awkward. I didn't expect that Allen's father will announce that on his son's birthday. It was also awkward for me but I just go with the flow.
Another weird coincidence.
First Nicholas who describe his crush like she was the prettiest in his eyes was that really stunning when I saw her and now Angel who looks literally like an angel. Her soft features make her more elegant.
Her face was small and her skin was pale and radiant, her skin was that glowing under the spotlight. Heart shape red lips, high nose bridge, and big doe eyes. Her white dress was hugging her hourglass body.
The name Angel really suits her. So pretty.
If you put me on her side I would look hilarious.
I feel insecure once again.
I am nothing compared to her...
"Really that happen on his birthday?"
Jasmin asked and I nod. I take a sip of my coffee and sighed.
"I didn't finish the party since dad called me that night asking me on what time will I be able to go home. I lied to tell by saying that dad was already telling me to go home and showed my phone while daddy was trying to call me. That was my only excuse to get out of that position."
"You did the right thing. If I were in your shoes I will do the same thing."
"It was super awkward maybe since the guests thought that I am his girlfriend. They were talking while looking at me."
"Mm. so what is his reaction?"
"I can't tell. But I did hear from Tristan that they will be going on a date today so that they get to know each other and I haven't talked to him since then."
We didn't try to text each other after that incident. It's a good thing that he didn't reach out for me. 
"Sucks to be him."
"Maybe he will fall to her, Angel was beautiful. She looks so innocent and there are no flaws in her face. She was so perfect that night."
"I see. But let's not talk about it anymore today because we will spying on someone."
"Who?"
"Nicholas and Jade."
"Why though? I heard from Al that they were dating."
"I thought you still don't know. I didn't inform you since I don't want you to hear it."
She said with a sad face. I smiled at her.
"Well, I already did. Good for the both of them."
"Haa. I was told that they will be having a coffee date today. Oh, that's them!"
She pointed Nicholas and Jade. He did open the door for her and Nicholas went to the counter. The whole day we are both following those two and that was the first time I saw him being a gentleman.
I bite my lips and sigh. I turned my back and held Jasmin's hand.
"He must really like her, yes?"
"Don't worry, Rosalyn I will introduce you to a guy that you'll like."
"Let's just eat okay? Let's stop following them." 
That will make me more depressed. I don't want to continue seeing them like that.
"Okay."
I did take a look at them for the last time and they were walking while their hands were intertwined.
I want to be in her place.
Huh? What are you saying, Rosalyn? Really, I'm sick of myself because of these weird feelings.
"I hate myself."
After a week of thinking deeply about my feelings for him. I reach onto the conclusion that I'm just being jealous of Jade that is why I am thinking like that. I plan to be happy for them.
But deep inside I know I'm just making excuses. I plan to deceive myself again and again.
The next day our parents decide that we should take a vacation in Aunt Kat and Uncle Nic's villa for three days. When we got there we all are excited to swim while our parents went to buy food. While we are having fun, I notice that Nicholas was not.
"Why are you looking like that?"
I asked. I thought he won't answer my question since he looks like he was on the edge.
"I'm just tired."
"Then why don't you take a rest?"
I said and he nodded his head.
"I'm waiting for Jade."
Jade again. I smile at him and nod my head.
"Oh, now that you said it I just did hear about this last week that you two were official."
"You didn't hear that from Jasmin?"
His brows furrowed and I shake my head.
"No, I heard that from Al."
"You're so late, Rosalyn."
I look at Jasper and agree with him.
"Yeah. I woke up pretty late but still tired."
I got busy deceiving myself.
"So, what about you and Allen?"
"We're good friends."
"After you two date?"
"No, that was not a real date more like a friendly date. You'll hurt his fiancée if she happens to hear this."
"Fiancée?" both of their eyes widened. Why is he also shocked?
"Yeah, it was announced on his birthday last month."
"And your cool with that?"
"Yeah, I do support him since I'm his friend and I do not see him as a man."
"I'm shocked, you two act like a couple."
"Silly."
I then look at Nicholas when I spotted a blond girl. Your girl's here, huh?
"Jade was already here."
"Hm."
After that, I left them and went to the sea. Jasmin was busy on tanning her skin while I was swimming in the sea. Jasper was resting on a hammock and I bet he was already asleep while Nicholas and Jade were inside.
"Rosalyn just grilled chicken for our lunch,"
Jasper suggested when it was already lunch. Since our parents were still not here we don't have a cook. It was good that Jasper saw a raw chicken in the fridge. I told him to get the things I needed and he get them obediently.
We split the tasks and Jasmin was not happy when Jade who didn't do anything will get food.
"But, isn't that unfair?"
Her voice raised and I shake my head. I held her hand but she shake her head. She really won't let this slide.
"Calm down, let's just let her. She's a visitor of your cousin and his girlfriend. Let's be cool with it, okay?"
"I don't like her."
"Let's just eat peacefully, your cousin wouldn't like it if you show hostility to his girlfriend."
"Remember that I was doing this because you said it. No matter what you said, I still don't like her."
There is a weird atmosphere in the cottage as we eat lunch but it looks like Jade was focused on herself that she didn't feel it. Or she was just ignoring it because she doesn't care a bit about us and want Nicholas' attention.
But because of Jasmin's constant side comment, Jade seem's to started getting pissed.
There are times that Jasmin and Jade almost fight, as she doesn't want to recognize Jade. Jasmin can't stop her mouth. I didn't show any hostility to her the moment she arrive, but that word she said triggered me so much.
"O my gosh, isn't that gross?"
"What the hell did you just say right now?"
I want to slap this bitch and slam her face into the floor. How dare she.
