Twinkle Xing POV
The day is still same as usual. I wake up and do my daily chores while wondering what can I do to survive through this boring ordinary day. Suddenly I remember about the ice skating date with Jo. Oh no! This aint no ordinary day, this is gonna a day with Jo! You get what I mean? with Jo! I quickly change into my favourite purple T-shirt and denim short pants. Without wasting time, I rushed out of the door. Jo is already at the door. He beamed. He is wearing a white jacket and baggy trousers. Well I admit he look cool in them. Especially with that charming smile. " Oh Jo, I'm so sorry! How long have you been waiting. I am so sorry for being late " I apologized and fake a smile. An awkward smile. " It's rare for you to forget things like this. What happen? And don't try to put up a fake smile because I can see through your mask." Jo asked. I guess I should be honest with him. " Umm..Actually... well... you see... I am going to move out soon" "WHAT? with WHO" Jo asked, with a shocked expression. "I dont know.. " " What you mean you dont know?" "er..." . There is an awkward silence at this moment. Both of us are not talking. We looked at each other. Maybe Jo can really see through my mask, I can tell it by looking at his expression.
" Lets just talk about this after we reach the shopping mall, okay ?" " Okay" He answered reluctantly. We didn't talk much on the road either. He is probably having thousands of questions in his head right now.We boarded a bus at the bus stop near my house. Taking bus is obviously a better choice compared to cycling, for cycling would take one hours to reach the shopping mall. On our way there, Jo started to break the ice. He told me stories about his finding on a time capsule, saving a puppy from being put into death, and more to make up for his action. After 15 minutes, we finally reach. The shopping mall looks different from what I remembered. Gosh, I feel so outdated. It's like I have been trapping myself at home for ages. Maybe I should come out more often. "Jo, come on! Let heads to the ice skating ring." This time,I break the silence. Jo didn't gave me any reaction and he look like fidgeting so I pulled his hand and run towards the ice skating place. Jo could only smile while running. The effect of his cute smile towards me is amazing. The world seem to stopped rotating for a moment. After done all the paying stuff. I was so excited to start skating. "Wait" Jo holds my hand and stop me from entering. Jo looks kinda sad. " Aren't you going to tell me what happened yesterday? " he said. " Well . You see... There is a man that came to my house yesterday. He claimed to be my real dad's friend and he wanted me to stay with him for a few month to know who I really am." I said and my tears fall without me realising.
I was trying my best to smile but the smile is just too fake. Jo saw my tears. He took a tissue out from his pocket and gently wipe my tears away. "We are still friends no matter what right? "he said. I quietly nodded. He hold out his pinky finger. "Promise me that you won't change school." said Jo. "I.. will try." "Pinky promise please? " And we lock our finger as a sign of promise.
Somehow, I feel the urge to breakdown and cry, but I wont want anyone to see me like that. "Please excuse me for a minutes. I need to go to the washroom." I run towards the washroom.There's no one in it. I break down and cry in front of the mirror. "What is all this sudden change in my life?"I talk to myself in the mirror. If anyone is looking at me, she will think I am sort of crazy. But who cares, no one even know me here. When I stepped out from the washroom Jo suddenly appear and pull me to the ice skating place. "Lets skate and race. The loser will have to pay for the hamburger "Jo is trying to cheer me up.Well, it did work. I finally smiles and race with Jo the whole day. At last we got really tired so Jo go and buy drinks for himself and me. I was lost in a thought. Jo is really a nice guy. My feelings towards him is like more that just a friend or I am just thinking too much?What am I thinking? Of course my feeling towards him is different.We are best friend! " Hey Twinkle, have you wait too long for the drinks?" Jo called me. I looked at Jo who is holding two bottle of drinks which are orange juice. "Hey! Orange juice is my favourite!Thank you so much! " I grab one of the bottles and open it. I immediately gulp a lot of orange juice. Jo couldn't help it but blurted into laughter." Hey, what is so funny?! " I am so surprised at Jo's expression. " HAHAA! You are so cute!!" Jo laughed. " SO WHAT!" I shout at him and turn my back. I could feel myself blushing. " Calm down, why so serious. Oh I knew it, you like me?" Jo grinned. " Seriously, there is no way I would like you, you crazy boy!" I shouted at him. My heart is beating fast, real fast.Twinkle Xing don't tell me you are in love with Jo. I sigh. " Come on, we are just best friends right although I admit you look awesome. " I winked. "I always looked awesome and charming, I know " Jo chuckled. "By the way who won? I am starving for hamburgers. " I rub my stomach because it is growling. " Nevermind, my treat okay? Now lets go McDonald! " This time,Jo pulled my hand and run all the way to the restaurant.
After having hamburgers at McDonald, Jo ask me whether want to play shooting game since we have plenty of time left. I agree and we head to the arcade next. We tried a lot of new different game and surprisingly scored for each game. We are the BEST GAME PARTNER EVER!Hooray! I mentally shout with joy. Suddenly the fuzzy feeling is back again..
That feeling is so strange and weird yet...

Jo POV
After we play the last game, I look at her face, she finally smiled and have a pure bliss on her face. I know in her head, she is shouting with joy with something about greatest combination or whatever. I don't want to admit it but I like her very much. She is the only reason I always keep changing girlfriends because I want to forget about that feeling. Because I am scared of losing her and ... , being too dramatic for a popular boy huh? I hope she will okay... Maybe I should visit her new house sometime to make sure she is alright.
When it will end?
