Chapter 15
Paulina’s POV

Freddie?
Huh?
What is he doing here?
And he called Frank, Twinee…
Huh? Is he the twin brother Frank was referring to earlier?
No, no it can’t be possible..
Yet, I was shocked and speechless.

“Whao! ” Freddie exclaimed when he saw me.
Oh, he can’t even recongize me but I started quivering.

“I went outside to pick her up” Frank told him -aswered his question.

“Oh.. Okay! ”

“Paulina” Frank faced me,
Pls no, no don’t call my name.

“Paulina? ” Freddie exclaimed.
Oh God, don’t let it be what I’m thinking it is.
“It’s the most loviest name I have ever heard” He said.

“Tha…Thank you Freddie” I stammered and tried to change my voice but with the way it sounds in my ear. It’s still the same.

“Erm, Frank.. This is the way in right?
I… I mmm, I will just go in now first” I said, avoiding eye contact with Freddie.
“And once again, Happy prosperous birthday to you both” I continued to stammer then quickly rushed into the room we (Frank and I) wanted to go into.
If Freddie stares at me continuously or start a conversation with me… I won’t even be able to disguise my voice any longer and he might now I’m the same Paulina he knows.
Oh my God, Is there anything like voice surgery b’cos I think I need to go for it as soon as possible.

Frank’s POV

“So, she is the one you said you also like? ” Freddie asked me.

I smiled and said :” Uhm, Yeah”

“Ok, I agree that she is very pretty but if you want an advise from me, I’ll urge you to stick like a glue to Angela” He said.

“Tell me it’s because you just fell for Paulina right away” I teased him.

“Me? Who? Paulina? I’m not Dummy Frank! I just met her five minutes ago and you are expecting me to like her instantly? ” He almost yelled.

Ok…What did he just say?
Falling for someone at first sight means one is a dummy?
Am I a – dummy?

“Fine, I like Paulina but she is not the one. The giant crush I have in Dream High, her name is also Paulina” He said.

It’s means; Paulina will know Paulina (Freddie’s crush) since she also attended dream high.

“Well Freddie, it’s doesn’t bring about an agruement or something, let’s just go inside and enjoy the party” I said with my hand on his shoulder.

“Hold on Frank, you invited the whole world but you didn’t invite Angela” Freddie told me.

“An…Angela” I stammered.
That’s…That’s true.
When was the last time I saw her or talk to her? I think I invited her to my party but she didn’t show up and she never told me she won’t.

“Angela” I repeated then dipped my hand into my trouser pocket, brought out her phone and dailed her number.
Her mobile number was among the category of ‘last spoken with; almost two weeks ago”.
I called her number but she didn’t pick it.

“I invited her, yes I did. I just called her number now but she didn’t pick it up. She will of course be here, let’s go in” I said again to Freddie whom nodded then we walked into our fun filled birthday party.

*The party was the lit-est.
Our parents left us to have all fun being the teenagers we were.

I told everyone that Freddie is my twin brother and the exclamations were just too incredible.

The Deejay began to play music and the noise multipled by how loud it was initially.
Every one began to dance – in pairs (With their crush or girlfriend/boyfriend or admirers) while Freddie sat on a couch, at a corner, looking so moody as he kept struggling with his phone -probably trying to reach out someone, and I’m sure it’s no other person that his crush – his first crush.

And.. Paulina, she sat on a couch too, doing two things simultaneously; watching everyone dance and operating her phone.
“Hey Paulina” I went over to her.

“Er, Celebrant!” She said and smiled then switched off her cell phone and dropped into her bag.

“Are you enjoying the party? ” I asked her.

“Why not?
meanwhile Frank, I’m not so sure about staying too long because I’m not used to night parties” She told me and I nodded and smiled.

“Paulina, I… ” I paused.

“Uhm? ”

“May I have this dance with you? ” I proposed.

“I’m not a good dancer Frankie” She said.

“Neither am I but aside from the dance, I have something to tell you in between” I said.

“Really? ” She exclaimed and dropped her bag on the couch she was sitting on and I assisted her in dropping the glass of fruit wine on the table.
I held her hand and we walked forward to where everyone was busy dancing -The ball court.

Paulina’s Pov
With my hand on his shoulder, and the other one intertwined with his hand while his other hand was on my waist.. We began to dance slowly; moving from left to right.
To me, it’s doesn’t look like a birthday party anymore but a wedding party and Frank and I are the Groom and Bride.
I don’t think his forgone Girlfriend is even here.

Freddie on the other hand was there, sitted and engrossed with his phone, trying to call my number over and over again. Unfortunately for him. I already switched off my phone.
I pray this would be the last day we’ll meet or no, even if we are still gonna meet, I pray he never recognises me.

Soon.. The music was changed to a slower and very romantic one.
Seriously, this is more than a birthday party.

I stared into Frank’s eyes and he smiled.
I smiled too.
Then he came really close to me as if he wants to kiss me on my neck but he didn’t.He just took the strand of my hair and tucked it behind my ears and whispered.
“If you are planning to get me a birthday present, you actually don’t need to” He whispered.

I was surprised because I got him a gift already; “Why? ” I whispered back.

“Because…” He resumed then he stopped dancing and started into my eyes.

“Be..Because? ” Oh My God, those charming eyes were making me feel like kissing him all over.

“Because the best birthday present you can give to me is your response to this question” He said and paused..with his eyes still locked into mine.

I couldn’t just wait to hear him say it: “What question? ” I asked. Oh lord, please let it be it.

“Paulina Brown, will you… ”

All of a sudden, the painful feeling came up again.
Ah! But it already happened today, not too long ago. Why is coming up again? What’s wrong with me?

“Paul…Paulina! Paulina!! “Frank screamed and attracted everyone. As loud as the music was, the DJ also heard his scream and stopped the music immediately.

“Fr…ank” I wanted to say but just could not

“Paulina?!! What’s wrong with her? ” Freddie also asked and rushed over.

Everyone was terrified and they were panicking. This ain’t convulsion!
I can hear them screaming: “Paul, Paulina, are you okay? are you alright? What’s wrong with you? ”

Frank carried me in a bridal style and layed me on a two sitters couch.
I tried all I could to catch my breathe by forcefully and voluntarily moving my tommy in and out, yet I couldn’t just breathe.

My nose were hurting like hell, I expected it to bleed but this ain’t nose bleeding.

It took longer time than when it happened in school and at home today.
I felt my plastic body getting weak too and everyone and everything that surrounded me became blur.
Can’t they just do something? I have no idea of what they should do but someone should please help me out.

Before I knew it, I passed out.
