“Hey, what’s this?” Isabella pointed at a poster pasted on the wall next to my locker. I slammed my locker shut after stuffing in all the books and scrutinized the poster carefully.
Cupid’s Shooting Love Arrows!
Valentine’s Day is coming, and what can be better than to celebrate it with a dance?
Venue: The School Auditorium
Date: 14 February, Valentine’s Day!
Time: 7.00pm-10.30pm
PS. To spice things up, remember to wear masks! Yes, it’s a masquerade! Hope you’ll enjoy the night with that special one of yours! Who knows, you might find “Mr. /Ms. Right” on the night itself! Watch out for Cupid’s arrows baby!
“A masquerade huh.” I wondered out loud.
“Bummer, guess we’re celebrating Valentine’s Day without a partner.” Isabella sulked, scrunching her face up.
I smiled at her wryly. “Yeah…” Memories of Jeremy flashed through my mind as I chased them away, mentally slapping myself.
“What’s up ladies?” Cole suddenly joined in, leaning gently against my locker.
“Nothing, just staring blankly at the wall.” I joked half-heartedly.
“Kays…” He shot me a skeptical look before glancing at the poster.
“Cupid’s Shooting Love Arrows? Yuck, what a cliché name.” He commented after a second.
I shrugged with one shoulder, giving him a flat look.
He must have noticed my moody look, because he tried to lighten the mood. “Anyway, I’m receiving a prize next week, so be sure to come for the ceremony!” His eyes twinkled in delight.
“Really?” I looked up at him dubiously, narrowing my eyes. “What prize?” I couldn’t believe Cole would receive a prize for anything.
“Our school won the National basketball championship, how could you not know, Alyssa, it’s the biggest talk in school now!” Isabella brushed a strand of hair away from her face, giving me an are-you-serious look.
“I can’t believe my own sister didn’t even know about this…” Cole’s voice trailed off, faking a sniff. “I think I’m going to cry, d-don’t look at me!” He buried his head in Isabella’s shoulder, stifling fake wails. Isabella patted his head comfortingly, joining in the fun.
I rolled my eyes at his childishness. “Grow up, puh-lease.”
Cole lifted his head mischievously, and both Isabella and Cole broke into uncontrollable fits of laughter.
“C’mon, don’t be such a killjoy! Cheer up a little!” Cole carelessly wrapped an arm over my shoulder.
I gave a dry smile. “Don’t worry; I’ll surely be there to support you.”
He smiled to himself, and then after we bid our adieus to Isabella, we headed for the car.

“Okay, okay, last joke, I promise.” I begged Alyssa.
“…Fine.” Alyssa waved her hand casually.
“Okay, so…whatever question I ask you, you can only answer with Banana, got it?” I glanced sideways at her, focusing on the road at the same time.
