wow. =)
I  love how the characters are relatable =) I love the fact that the revelations are early on. I love that the story feels so real.  I love the pacing. I love how it was written. I love your story.

...and how cute is Miguel? Can I marry him now?  ;)

ENTRY NUMBER 7

February 14, 2011


So here I am acting as if everything happened in a fast forward manner. The new of Duke and I living together spread like wildfire and the next thing we both know is us acting all couple-y simply because it's Valentine's day.

At home, or should I say Duke's home, we both act as if we're strangers we don't talk much there. We talk sure, but that only happens when we fight. Being in school is a whole new different Duke and Venice psuedo relationship.

I swear every time I pass by my so-called sister, I can feel daggers being thrown at me. She can't seem to get over the fact that I am now dating the hottest guy in school.

I met Duke at the cafeteria. I don't see the point of us acting as if in a relationship anymore. It is obvious that Claire will no longer rekindle her old flame with Duke.

And newsflash, William's been avoiding me like the plague eversince Duke and I started "dating". Rumor has it, in the person of Sierra, she said he's probably brokenhearted since he's been secretly in love with me since we met. Which is ridiculous.

I saw Duke sitting in our usual spot, a single rose and boxes of chocolates are all resting comfortably in the table. We need to straight things out.

"Hey." he said brushing his hair through his fingers. Fvck! How can he act so cool! Better end this now Venice before things get messy. Worst, before you fall in love.

"we need to talk." I started, he just smiled.

"Err." I fumbled, words seem to flee off my brain.

"Eat first." he answered pushing his food tray towards me. I grabbed the sandwich and ate a mouthful.I started chewing slowly as I formulate my defense in my brain.

"Ok. Here it goes."

But he just stared at me. "What?!"

"Don't move there's something in your face." and all of a sudden he moves towards me and wiped the corner of my mouth with his fingertips.

I froze. I felt cold chills creeping out of my every nerve endings. I had to shake my head just so I can go back to reality.

When I was about to talk again, he started pulling of his jacket.

"Are you cold?" he said placing his jacket on my shoulders.

"FVCK! WILL YOU STOP IT!" I said shouting my lungs out as I pounded the table hard with my fist. Sh1t it hurts!

The buzzing cafeteria came to a halt. Everyone was quite, they're all staring at us. Duke raised his eyebrows as I stood there feeling as if I'm going to explode.

You just did Venice!

The crowd remained still, I was standing and Duke isn't even asking why I threw a fit. he's just sitting there waiting for me to shout again.

"I can't do this anymore." I said. "I'm done." the last words barely came out as mere whispers. I can't take it anymore.

I hated being Duke's pseudo girlfriend. I hated not being able to eat lunch with Sierra and my brother. I hated not being able to talk to William. I hated the feeling of daggers everytime I walk pass Claire. I hated the whispering and gossips every time I stop by my locker.

I hated hearing how a slvt I am just because I'm staying with Duke. FVK this I hated everyone for being so plastic! Gahd! I hate them all!

But the worst part of walking away, the part I hated most, is that Duke didn't even stopped me when I walked away. Hell he didn't even protested. He didn't even speak! Hell he just made silence do the talking!

Sh1t! I even hate myself for expecting so much only to be damn disappointed in the end.

I walk pass the door and I can feel everybody's eyes on me. Watching my every step, they're all probably happy that Duke is no longer dating that nobody.

Come tomorrow, everyone, even those who acted nice to me, wouldn't even remember who Venice Lim was.

Raging thoughts are now filling up my brain when suddenly a voice, much angrier than mine stopped me from my tracks.

"Fvck Will why are you acting as if the world ended and it's all your fault!"

I tiptoed and listened to Sierra shouting her voice out. William is sitting in a wooden chair and Sierra is standing in front of him.

"It's only Venice Will! Can't you at least be happy for her?" he didn't budge.

"Fvck! Wake up!! For once Will! Wake the hell up!! You're not just with Venice! Fvck! I'm sick of being invisible! I'm here!

All those times that you feel sad I was the one who's there for you! FVCK! Have Venice, in your whole years of being friends, have she gone out in the middle of the night just to buy you aspirin coz of your goddamn headache? HAS SHE??!



FVCK WILL! Are you that dense?!" Then Sierra left the room tears streaming down her face. She didn't notice me standing by the door and eavesdropping in their conversation.

Everything she said hits home. I didn't even know she likes Will! What kind of friend I am?

Just a few minutes Will went out of the room too, he saw me standing there.

"I was..."

He just stood there. Staring. His eyes filled with confusion.

"I didn't mean..."

And the next thing I knew he pulled me closed to his face and kissed me.


Kissed me in the mouth!


And the weirdest thing happened.






I FVCKING KISSED BACK!

Gosh Duke. Couldn't you be sweeter? *insert sarcasm here* Woah. I was shocked with what Sierra revealed but nonetheless, the shock that stroke me was greater when Venice kissed Will back. What's with you Venice, huh? Was it the sandwich or what?

ENTRY NUMBER 8


February 15, 2011


I now officially hate my life. I hate it to bits. Why was I even born? Why am I breathing human's precious air? Why the hell am I here?


I sat outside Duke's  expensive garden landscape and pulled some of the wild grasses popping out of nowhere. Why can't somebody just pull me out of this world? I'm unwanted...


Duke hates me.


Miguel is mad at me.


Claire never really wanted me.


Claire's mom didn't really loved me.


My dad didn't even missed me.


Sierra is obviously pissed off about my being insensitive.


Now William is probably trying to erase me from his memory.


"I've never seen you more than a friend." well that hits him home big time.


I tried to look at the beautiful garden but I still feel like hell. Am I really that insensitive? Am I really not that capable to let somebody in and love me?


"What's with the long face?"


I look at Duke and see nothing but this handsome guy who kindly accepted us in his home. And what did I do to repay him? Nothing. All I ever did is to give him headache.


"Would you ever like you, if you met you?" I asked. I read that on the internet one night. After I read it I already knew my answer.


"What are you saying?" he said completely lost.


"I wouldn't like me, if I met me. I wouldn't even try to be friends with me. I'm not appreciative. I'm not nice. I'm not understanding nor caring. Who would want to be friends with me?"


I heard him laugh. I felt his gaze but when I turned to look at him he moved his gaze vaguely on the garden.


"You have friends."


"They probably hate me by now. Even Migs hate me." I tried to control my tears but I can't. It was the first time I ever really cried in front of someone.


"I even hate myself."


"Nah.. That's completely unnecessary. You don't have to judge yourself for something you haven't done."




But I did. I already did it Duke. I yelled at my mom. I cursed Claire. I screamed at Miguel. I disregarded Sierra's feelings. I kissed Will and told him I don't like him.


"Who would even like someone as cold as me."


I can't help the self pity really. I think all girls will feel that one point in their lives. Only I never felt it just this once. I felt it a thousand times and believe me I tried to stop them. all the lies I made just to make my life exciting... Everything just seem pathetic.



My life has been nothing but lies.



Who would even want me.




"I do.." then he held my hands and looked straight to my eyes.




"That first day I sat beside you during Chemistry, I already started to like you. Your bossiness. Your being cold to everyone. I liked you because of your flaws."




I looked at him and see nothing but him holding my hands trying to pull the whole world together. My whole world.




"You just didn't open your eyes wide enough to see that I'm completely crazy about you."





"You're too afraid to realize that popular-and-famous Duke Vanderbilt actually liked trying-to-be-invisible Venice Lim."

ENTRY NUMBER 9


February 16,2011
12AM



I was about to grab whatever it is to make the whole world steady until the weirdest thing happened.


I woke up.


Fvck! Why can't they extend that moment a little longer? Am I that cruel to not even deserve those slightest bits of bliss even in my dreams?


"Bad dream?" It was Miguel.


"So you're talking to me now?" I said as I straightened up trying to erase that crazy dream I had about Duke.


"Do you honestly believe that I'll hold a grudge on you." I smiled. At least one person didn't hate me. "I know what happened between you and William."


It took me approximately ten seconds to answer. "I..." I don't know what to say. He caught me off guard. I didn't know Sierra likes him, she said she likes Miguel.


"It's hard, isn't it? Trying to figure out what you really feel." I look at Miguel and noticed that he isn't looking at me anymore. Talk about understatement. How can one figure out the right thing to do?


"I thought Sierra likes you."


"I guess she was just using me." there is sadness in his voice. I look at him and he swallowed hard, uncertain that there might be something in his voice that gave him away.


But he's my brother. Of course I can figure it out without much clues.


"Don't tell me you already like Sierra." he smiled. Smirked more like it, that sarcastic smirk that always gets hi in trouble.


"Name one person in Earth who wouldn't fall in love to a girl who constantly bugs you saying to the whole world that she likes you."


I raised my eyebrows and looked at him somewhat confused, "But you know didn't you? You knew all along that it isn't you she wants."


"That's what you call bad luck." he flicked his lamp off and then squirmed at the farthest side of his bed to open the lights.


I squinted my eyes because of the sudden brightness that filled the room. "There's something else that I need to talk to you about."


"What?"


"We can't stay here forever. I got a job, it's nothing fancy, I just get to be the assistant of this certain architecture firm but it pays great. It can pay for our apartment and all. You just need to find one to so we can buy, you know food."


I didn't know what I felt after that. There's this certain pain that stabs me right through my chest in the thought of leaving Duke. But it's for the best, I guess. It's better we leave now.


"What about tuition?" Dad only pays half of our fees, so we need to work extra hard to get scholarship.


"We just have to work harder so we can apply for full scholarship next semester. We can't stay here forever Venice."




He looked at me straight in the eyes and then added,








"Especially when Duke has finally decided that he will  marry Claire."





i missed this!

i missed you!!!

but i missed duke the most!!


waaahhhh!! duke :D :D :D

What is kinikilig ako ng bongga at ang laki ng ngiti ko ngayon? Grabe lang. Ikaw na Duke! :D

omg super namiss ko to!!! What is nagpagulong gulong ako sa sinabi ni Duke!!! Eeeeeeee!!

Thanks. :)
