The break-up

The next day, I finally talk to her again after being ignorant to her for 3 days. It felt like long days without talking to her, everything is boring and I didn’t even talk to her in History, where we usually play hangman.

After school time’s over, I come to her house and we spent a fab day there. Her Mom is totally cool and she has prepared everything (although it’s kinda too much). When we entered Vi’s bedroom, it’s all been decorated pink with pillows, 2 bath robes, cakes, and 2 women I don’t recognize.

“Who are they?” I whisper to Vi.

“They’re our beauty therapist for today. I already said to Mom not to invite them!” she whispers back and then she scurried out of the room to find her Mom and I’m left with these two beauty therapists. What the hell is really happening? A ‘manicure and pedicure with spa’ party?

“You must be Sugar, right?” the blonde beauty therapist asks me.

“Yes. I am.” I answer.

“I’m Nancy, your beauty therapist for today.” She steps forward and shakes my hand and that’s Bella.” Bella steps forward and also shakes my hand with a friendly smile.

“So, what would you like to do for today? a Swedish massage or a Hot Stone massage? The Swedish massage is pretty famous these days with those celebrities around everyday at our clinic.” says Nancy.

Suddenly Vi comes in again and mutters, “My Mom said we should get their service because they’re the best.” She mutters to me. “and she has paid them! A lot!” she adds.

And so, it’s not a matter whether we like it or not, it’s a matter of that Vi’s Mom has paid them before. So after we change into our robes, Bella carefully instructs me to lay on a massage bed that they had brought here. They really has got every single thing they need, it’s like they bring the whole salon!

“How about a full leg waxing as a start, Dear?” Bella kindly ask. Doesn’t sound good isn’t it? “Umm, how about a pedicure and manicure as a start?” I ask in return. I hate to be waxed! It’s painful! “Ok. And what massage would you like to have?” she asks again.

For God’s sake! I don’t understand her language at all!

It seems like Vi knows that I’m lost in a spa session like this and she gives me some help. “Aromatherapy massage is always the best thing, Sugar. I suggest you take the aromatherapy one. But if I’m really in a bad mood, I usually have a Swedish massage, but it’s totally up to you.”

Let me see, aromatherapy massage sounds waaaaay better than a hot-stone massage, and besides, it sounds more familiar to me! “Ok. I’ll have an aromatherapy massage, then.” I say finally.

“Sure, Dear.” says Bella. She takes out her equipments for all that I need.

It’s been a really relaxing time after those frantic numbers in math class. I quickly fall asleep during the aromatherapy massage and now I have just woke up. My whole body smells nice and my nails looks fab! It shines and glitters after a simple French manicure and I love love love it!

I turn my head to see Vi has also waken up and she straightened her body into a sit position. The beauty therapists have gone and we’re left in the quiet and fragrant bedroom.

“So.. how’s it?” she asks. I take a big yawn and push my head comfortably to the pillow. “Nice.” I say “Thanks.”

Suddenly, my cell phone rang and I quickly push the green button, “Hello?” I greet.

“Hi! Is this Sugar?” the caller asks.

“Yes, it’s me. Who’s this?

“It’s Ian. “ oh, it’s Ian! “Listen, The manager of Sanctuary really wants to meet you after I told her about you. So, how’s tomorrow sounds?” wow! I have totally forgotten about the job!

“Sounds good. What time?” I ask him back. Vi asks me who’s that and I mouthed ‘Ian’. She giggles and teases me, she raises her eyebrows and widen her eyes. It’s just like saying “uuw!”

“3 p.m.”

“Ok.”

“Ok then. See you tomorrow.” The connection broke and Vi screams in delight, “how cute! What does the shop-keeper said?? I’ve told you right? Sometimes, less fortunate people like him is more romantic than those boys in our school!” she exclaims.

“It’s not like that! He phoned me just to say that tomorrow I will be interviewed. And that’s all!” but still, Vi giggles more and more.

“Oh Sugar, I really am sorry for being such a cow!” Vi says.

“No, it’s okay. As long as you don’t do it again.” I say, “I am sorry too for ignoring you at school the past days. and to be honest, I really miss you at the history class!” I admit. And then we hug each other like how they do it in TV drama.

“Promise not to have secrets anymore between us, OK?” says Vi.

OMG. What am I suppose to do now? Should I admit that I had sex with her boyfriend in the Biology Lab?

Ok. Time to get the consequences of lying…

“Actually, Vi.. I have something to tell you.” She raises her eyebrows.

“What is it?” I pause for few seconds and inhale. “it’s about your boyfriend and me.”

“What?” her voice sounds fully alert and not ready to hear the worst.

“I….I had sex with your boyfriend..” I slowly admit, and then swallow, “…at the biology lab.”

She looks confused with my confession and then she slowly opens her mouth to speak but she closes it again. I really feel guilty right now. How could I do such thing? She finally gain her consciousness and speaks, “who started?”

“oh my god, Vi. I really am sorry! I really feel guilty about that. It happened so fast and suddenly he kissed me and I kissed him back and we were both laying on the floor…” I falter. “I’m sorry…” I whisper.

She takes a deep breath and release it, “well…..actually,you can take him. I don’ want any piece of him anymore. Just… just take him. I’m fine. Besides, he’s boring…” she says casually.

Is this for real?

“What do you mean? You love him, right?”

“Not anymore. He’s boring as hell. He always asks me to party. And his style has always been the same. I’ll break him up. Like..like tomorrow!” she says.

I’m totally speechless. But, but…he…but…she… oh no!

“Please Vi! Think it over! I said sorry, right? And please don’t break up because of me!” I plead. She look sad but she really has decided to break Sean up.

“Don’t worry. I’m fine and it’s not because of you.” She says
