It was a muggy
Tuesday afternoon and the editors of the Pioneer is having a meeting inside
their office at the P.S (Professional Schools) building and suddenly the Editor
– in –Chief tasked Irish,(the sports editor, a smart
and talented type of girl who easily trust her friends, who believes in the
path of destiny and love tragedy, and who can easily attach herself to someone),
to cover the upcoming event that will be held in the University for the
upcoming month which is the Basketball Tournament and to be able to have a good
story she will be needing to interview the Team Captain named Steeve,( the happy
go lucky, family oriented basketball hearthrob of the Great Danes . He doesn’t
value his education that much he loves to date girls and watch movie at the
cinema), to gather facts about their training and past experience for her first
article and make a new article for the next publication after the tournament.
Right after the meeting Irish called her close friend Annie and told her about
the things that she needs to do. Then Annie said that Irish should be careful
because Steeve can capture hearts of girls in their campus easily. Then Irish
went to the Athletics office at the Main Building and talked to the Coach of
the College basketball team named Mr. Tallman if she could interview their team
captain just for 20 minutes and then the coach allowed Irish to interview
Steeve after their training in the afternoon the following day.
Here comes the
day that Irish will interview Steeve. It was a rainy Wednesday afternoon while
Steeve and Sander (best friend of Steeve and also a part of the basketball
team), was playing at the school’s gymnasium as how they usually train themselves,
suddenly Irish came and ask Steeve if she could get just a 20 minutes interview
for their school paper article and then Steeve said that he was informed by
their coach and expected Irish to come while they’re having their training,
then Sander left the two at the court. It was raining hard that day so they
need to speak louder and seat closer to one another. Irish started asking
Steeve about his likes and dislikes, at first Irish got irritated because she’s
not getting serious answers from the boy but when Steeve said that he just
wanted to see a smile on the face of a wonderful lady in front of her, Irish
smiled at him and said alright let us start the interview proper and the two
suddenly laughed and enjoyed each other’s company. Irish got a lot of
information from Steeve especially about his basketball career and a little bit
of his personal life. Irish then got interested to his life story and look
forward for her next interview with the basketball heartthrob right after the
tournament. The two exchanged phone numbers and before Irish leave the court
Steeve said that he wants to try how it is to be with her but Irish was
speechless and just turn around and walk away.
After the
interview Irish went to Annie’s dormitory and talked about what happened to her
interview with Steeve. Annie was giggling to Irish because it seems that what
she said yesterday was true that Steeve could really capture anyone’s heart
because he’s a girl magnet. Irish laughed at her and said that it will never
happen because she knows how often Steeve go out on a date with different girls
and Irish said that she doesn’t want to be one of them and end up to nothing, and
said that she always wanted to have a happy and lasting relationship if she’s
fortunate enough to have that one. Annie said that she heard stories from other
girls that Steeve is a good person, the problem really is that when it comes to girls he never settle
to one, the thing that girls hate most.
Then after a
month the official publication was released and copies was disseminated to
different colleges of the university. Steeve was informed by Irish that the
school paper would be released that day and would be available inside their
College office (College of Engineering) then Steeve decided to drop by and get
a copy of the issue before going to his class. When Steeve arrived in their
room and able to seat and read the article that Irish wrote, he noticed that
there was a mistake about the information regarding the recent achievement of
the basketball team. Steeve opened this to Sander and said that he will go to
the editor’s office right after the class to talk about it.
After the
dismissal, Steeve went to the P.S building to complain the article to the editor
about the wrong information that was laid. When Steeve arrived at the office,
there’s no one inside but Irish listening to her iPod. Steeve entered the room
and talk about the matter. Irish apologized and said that it will be included
at the erratum on the next issue, but Steeve insisted and said apologies are
not enough, he made a deal with Irish to have a date with him or else the
school paper’s reputation would be ruined and it seems that Steeve just used
the situation to have Irish for a date. Irish then agreed to the idea of Steeve
in order to express her apologies. Steeve asked her to watch a film with him in
the movie house. When Irish told Annie about their first date, Annie said that
all of the girls having a date with Steeve are going crazy to go out with him
again. Then Irish asked, what does he do to make girls feel that way? Annie
said that she has no idea at all. When Steeve and Sander were on their way
home, Steeve mentioned about their date and Sander said that he should not take
Irish for granted because she looks different and seems so special.
Then here comes
their date, though Irish lack sleep because she finished articles that would be
submitted and slept almost morning, she managed to show up to their date.
Before the film starts the two shared stories about their selves and felt
comfortable with each other. When the film starts Steeve said can I just stare
at you and hold your hands? Irish replied and asked if there’s something wrong.
Then suddenly the two stopped and silently stare at one another, touching lips
to one another like they were friends for such a long time. Irish stopped and
think, she asked Steeve if he’s like this to all of the girls that he invite
for a date, but Steeve just answered gasps. After that moment the two didn’t
speak until they parted. Still Steeve sends a message to Irish thanking her for
giving her time to be with him. Irish then accepted it and told Annie what
happened. Irish added and said that it’s true you’ll never forget him and
straightly left Annie’s dormitory.
Then here comes
the Basketball Tournament, different schools were invited to watch the huge
event at the University’s gymnasium. Irish came to cover the said event and bid
good luck to Steeve before the game starts, and then Steeve smiled and said he
was happy that Irish came. Irish replied and said she’ll interview Steeve after
the tournament.
This was the day
that Victoria, a newly transferred student who’s knowledgeable about black
magic and witchcraft with her best friend named Reena saw Steeve, while
watching their games she felt affection and wanted to get steeve whatever it
takes. While they’re watching the game Victoria started to make a plan on how
she’ll get Steeve. Victoria thinks this way because she knows that she and her
family is powerful enough to do this with the help of their knowledge about
black magic or witchcraft. Reena said that she should not make a move that she
will be sorry for the rest of her life because Reena knows that Victoria only
like lust and not true love in a relationship and added that she must be
careful because she doesn’t know Steeve that much.
Then the tournament
was finally done and the Great Danes were able to defend their title for being
the champion every basketball tournament across the region. Then Irish approached Steeve to have him for a
quick interview, but Steeve said he’s hungry and they could have the interview
while they’re eating. Irish then had to follow him because she needs to. Then
Victoria saw them walking outside the school and asked Reena who’s the girl
with Steeve but Reena replied and said that she totally doesn’t know because
they’re both new in the University, but she promised to ask people around about
her for Victoria. Victoria said that they should keep an eye on them because
she don’t want seeing Steeve being with another woman it’s as if she owns
Steeve.
While they were
eating in a restaurant, Irish take the chance to ask Steeve questions regarding
the tournament and their recent preparations; after that Steeve suddenly said
that he misses Irish so much and she replied why you would miss me? Steeve
said, I just don’t know I also can’t understand this strange feeling, you always
make me happy and I don’t know why. After their dinner Steeve went to his
friend Sander and talked about his feeling. He said that he’s not that sure,
but he wants to keep Irish with him. Starting that night Steeve and Irish
exchanged text messages until they developed a good friendship. When Steeve
needs a help regarding his class projects or assignments, Irish would be there
to help and guide him though she’s too busy for the school paper and even if
Irish is having a class if Steeve would text him and ask about something she’ll
find a way to give a perfect answer. The two was like this for almost a year ,everyday
checking if they both feel ok, being there for each other whenever they need
advices.
Irish started to
think and asked Annie, do you think he wants me? Annie said I also don’t know
because if he does so he’ll probably court you right? Irish answered gasps. On
the otherhand, while Steeve and Sander were also talking, Sander said why don’t
you settle with her and try a serious relationship? Steeve replied and said
he’s scared to have her because he might hurt her feelings and she don’t
deserve it and added “I am saving he for my future”.
Then here comes Valentine’s
Day, Sander planned to secretly send Irish a bouquet of flowers to wake Steeve
up, that he’s not the only guy that would like Irish, he just intended to do
this to help Steeve choose the right thing and nothing else. When Irish entered
their classroom there’s a bouquet of flowers on her desk and she had totally no
idea who gave it. After their class she went outside with Annie carrying the
bouquet and accidentally saw Steeve also carrying roses, Irish felt sad because
she expected that Steeve gave it for her and at the same time Steeve did not
able to give the roses to Irish when he saw the bouquet. Annie said he’s
carrying roses with him but Irish replied, he’ll probably give it to one of his
girls. The roses that Steeve supposed to give to Irish were dumped into the
trash.
Then finally
Victoria finished doing her plan to get Steeve, she found out that Steeve loves
Irish so much. Victoria came up with a spell to divert all the love that Steeve
feels for Irish to her by just letting him drink the potion. One day while Steeve
was busy packing his things inside the basketball court, Victoria approached
him and offered a cold drink, beforehand Victoria already mixed the potion to
that drink. Then, because Steeve cannot avoid girls he accepted it and sipped a
little, suddenly, he felt
dizzy and weak and it is because of the effect of the potion that Victoria put
on his drink. After a few minutes Steeve changed and feel that he love Victoria
and the aggressiveness of being with her always. After that, the two spend each
day together and Sander was totally shocked when he saw Victoria and Steeve
together like they knew each other so much.
The next day,
while Irish was eating inside their school canteen she saw Steeve and
approached him and talked about the rumors she heard about him and Victoria.
Then Steeve answered back a blank reaction. Irish overreacted and thought that
it was true because she knows Steeve really want girls to be with him and to
change them every now and then. Irish then stood up and chose to leave the
school canteen. It was a total heartbreak for her; she went to Annie’s
dormitory and burst her tears. Irish was crying for almost an hour and Annie
can’t do anything but to help her friend to be calm and accept what is given to
her. Annie knows that Irish believes in destiny and without doing anything she
will accept what is given to her. When Irish was totally calmed, Annie asked
her about her plans, how will she move on? Irish said with total no
communication at all and never seeing each other anymore for a long time,
perhaps to heal the wounds and to stop asking what really happened to Steeve
why he suddenly changed and become so strange including his own actions. Then,
Irish decided to stay away and move on.
As days passes
by, Irish tried her best to move on and forget her attachment to Steeve but
Irish feels that it’s destiny’s will because every day she walks along the
school corridor she’ll see Steeve, going to the school canteen they’ll bump to
one another accidentally, on her way home she will see Steeve waiting outside
she keeps encountering Steeve all the time, even though her mind says that she
must not. Even how hard she tries to avoid Steeve there would always be a way
for them to see each other. Irish said to Annie that every time she sees Steeve
she can still feel her love for him and
feel lonely and sad. Annie then advised her to stop mentioning him and try to
make herself busy all the time.
While Reena and
Victoria were seating outside, Reena advised Victoria to be careful with her
actions and to stop casting spells to Steeve because what she’s doing right now
is a bunch of crap and foolishness. First, she steel Steeve from Irish together
with all the love and affection that he feels for Irish. Second, she gave a
burden to such an innocent person like Irish. To hate Steeve but has totally no
idea why she does. And lastly, prolonging the burden of Irish and poor
unconscious Steeve whenever she continuously cast spells on him whenever the potion
loses its magic. Victoria said that she doesn’t care what other people thinks
but all she knows is that, she want Steeve and she will do anything for him.
The relationship
of Victoria and Steeve is very sinful because it was under the power of black
magic and it came out that Victoria only wants lust in a relationship and did
not value any love at all. Steeve was not treated nicely and did not even
respected him as a person. Victoria always do this whenever she get interested
to a guy and then play with them.
Every night
Irish cries and always utter the name of Steeve, she thought that Steeve would
fill the spaces in his life and with a snap of a finger all of it was gone.
Its been a year
that Irish and Steeve didn’t talk to each other. Here comes the UWEEK
celebration of the University a news beat that was assigned to Irish. All of
the students are invited especially the athletes of the university. Suddenly
Irish and Steeve were able to face one another after a year and while looking
to each other’s eyes Irish knows that still she feels something for him and
Steeve felt longingness for love and happiness. After the opening ceremonies
Irish proceeded at the backstage where they accidentally had the time to talk,
just the two of them. Irish didn’t hesitate at all and quickly embraced Steeve,
while crying, saying how she waited for Steeve’s answer why he suddenly change.
Steeve cannot answer back because the effect of the potion slowly leaving his
veins because of the teardrops of Irish flowing on him, tears of love, sorrow
and forgiveness. After a while Steeve came back to normal and caress Irish in
his arms and seems that he was away for a very long time. He said that its as
if he was dead for a long time. Victoria saw the two of them and realized that
the power of the spell has been removed. She called Reena and told her about
what she saw. She decided to transfer again to another university before
somebody discovers their true identity. But because Steeve and Irish were able
to fight the black magic away from their consciousness, all the spell that
Victoria casted bounced back to her. Victoria discovered that she acquired STD
(Sexually Transmitted Disease) from her past relationships, because of this
Victoria and Reena decided to stay away and find a good formula for the disease
that Victoria acquired from his own actions.
From that day
Victoria never visited the university anymore where Irish and Steeve met each
other. The two made promises to never give up though death comes along their
way and no matter how hard and long, waiting is just getting the right time to
be with the person you love the most.
