In the library, Isabella leaned against the bookshelf while her hand was gripping a rack behind her. She couldn't forget Jenny's crying. She looked pitiful.
Isabella realized that Jenny's spirit was broken. The way she begged was the last door she could express her love, but in the end, she gave her life to revive her soul.
"Rest in peace, Jenny. Now God will be with you. Goodbye!" prayed Isabella. She had one thing in her heart; that she would never fall in love with someone like Alexander. A girl should be alone forever, but never give her heart to someone like Alexander.
"Hi! Bella," a handsome man carrying a charming smile approached Isabella.
"Hi, Noah. How are you? I heard you went to London," asked Isabella and gave him a friendly smile. They've known each other from day one, but what set them apart was their status. A month later, not caring about these things, Noah came and befriended Isabella's group."Yeah, family business. Fathers had some work with me," Noah replied, shrugging his shoulder. His gentle face was like a brightening sun that could warm anyone's heart. Isabella always found him different from any other man she saw or knew. But this didn't mean she has any special feelings for him.
"Have you heard the news about Jenny?" Noah asked because he was also aware of the fact that Isabella liked Jenny and her acting. And every time Jenny's movie was released, he used to make excuses to take Isabella on a movie date.
She did go, but Bethany and Danny were with her. Because of this, he had to invite his friends too. And a movie date had turned into a friend's congregation.
"Yes, I heard," Isabella responded with a nod. Just then, her eyes fell on a ring on Noah's middle finger. It had a wing middle of it and the size was also pretty big.
"Your ring. It's pretty," Isabella praised. Her eyes lingered for a few seconds there and they raised with Noah's answer, "You like it? Ah! I think it's ugly. My mother forced me to wear this, as our whole family wears, such an unreasonable excuse.""No, it looks good on your finger. By the way, when will you give me my book? The Notebook," Isabella asked while her lips cracked into a sheepish smile, clearly showing her embarrassment. She asked for a book back like a child who asked for their comics back if their friend took them.
Noah took two steps forward toward Isabella, and the distance between them narrowed. Their postures are so cozy, if anyone sees them, they would think they are a couple and will do something at this moment.
"I am curious," Noah said and paused while Isabella asked, "What?" her hands pushed some hairs on her cheeks and tugged them behind her ear, as they itched her cheeks. However, Noah's stunt shook her a bit as he unexpectedly hold her hand that was near her ear.
"You love romance books, but never fall in love with anyone. Why?" he murmured when his hand rested on Isabella's ear, causing her head to tilt to that side. Suddenly, two purple eyes were looking at them from the empty part of the rack. Although there was no wave of anger in them, a creepy smile appeared on that devilish face.
Noah and Isabella were completely ignorant of the fact that their everything has been witnessed by someone who lets them enjoy the moment so that he can also enjoy the consequences later, which will soon be imparted to them.
Noah brought back his hand with the cobweb as she leaned on the rack."Dust," said Noah, then he rested the same hand on the rack next to Isabella's head.
"Thanks. Now your hand will follow my head," Isabella commented and chuckled. "Oops!" Noah dusted his hand as his hand became dirty with the dust of the rack, but Isabella's next comment paused him from swabbing, "Noah, you look very different," Elsa said while her eyes intently stared at Noah. Not only his face, but his aura also changed. Behind those eyes lies a mystery hiding as Isabella felt. It was just his bright face that hid them well."Really! How, Milady? Can you please enlighten me?" Noah joked, completely distracting Isabella from the haze she was trying to discard.
"Nothing. Let's go." Isabella laughed and said while she pulled out a book from the rack for which she had come to the library.
"Milady, you are ignoring me," Noah teased and followed Isabella outside.
"Stop calling me this. Also, we are in the library. Your voice might irritate someone," Isabella's pace hastened, and she softly said, as there were so many students studying. Even their steps sounded boisterous because there was a deep cessation in the Library."Listen, this evening there will be a bonfire near our college campus. Will you come?" Noah asked. At his behest, Isabella stopped and turned to him.
"Dude, don't stop like this. I almost hit you. You could fall on your face, and your pretty face could bruise," Noah warned, as he knows how he braked his feet."I can't come. You know me well. Furthermore, I need rest." Isabella answered back. Her eyes caught the sight of Danny and Bethany behind Noah. They seemed tensed and sweaty. Their footsteps were almost like running.
"Your traditional excuse. If you want your book back, you'll come to the bonfire, okay. We won't hold you for long, just for an hour," Noah bargained to persuade her to come to the bonfire and, without waiting for Isabella's answer, he left.
"Noah, Noah," Isabella screamed, looking at Noah, who didn't even bother to turn his face. Isabella was in no mood to go anywhere, but she would have to go for her book.
"Stop calling Noah. You should call Jesus and pray, only he can save you now," Bethany huffed as soon as she finished.
"Yes, damn girl, you should not make a stunt in front of the devil," Danny said and dragged her to an empty spot. Bethany followed them.
"What stunt? and what devil?" Isabella asked, raising her brows. Their words were always illogical and they won't clarify anything at once until she asked.
"Our new devil president. He asked about your presence in his chamber which our principal informed us, to find you and take you to the president, and what for, you know," Danny grumbled at Isabella.
"Why?" Isabella asked, looking at the two of them, while Bethany was texting someone. As soon as the answer came, she hurriedly discussed, "Hey! Antonio said that the atmosphere in front of the President's chamber is normal and our principal is patrolling back and forth. Haha! At the same time, he chewed all his nails in tension.
"Stop laughing, Bethany. we must do something. I think I should call my father and ask him to speak to our previous president. I think this will help us a lot," Danny suggested and pulled out her phone from her jeans pocket.
But Isabella did not let her call her father."Can you both explain why the President wants my presence? Second, stop getting your father involved in a petty affair.
"Your canteen act. We understand why you were agitated, but you need to look at your surroundings, Bella," said Danny. She also got angry on hearing that order, which was astonishing. The college management is only concerned about the money. Money wins once again. Their favorite Rachel's canteen is going to be closed forever."Oh, for that reason," Isabella mumbled unconsciously. She wondered how her act went unnoticed, especially when it was done in front of a devil. How can he let go of an innocent without punishing?
"How can you be so comfortable? At first, I thought the college authorities ignored your action because they left without asking your name, but we're wrong." Bethany sighed. She's terrified. What if they cancel her scholarship? "Nothing will happen. It was not a big crime, maybe he should give me a mild punishment. Let's go," Isabella started walking. Her motto, when she can't escape, she will bravely face the situation. At least it's far less punitive than what he did.As they reached in front of the President's office, the Principal approached them. His face was red as if he was still holding his breath, waiting for their arrival. This further frightened Bethany and Jenny.
"Where have you been for so long?" The principal asked Isabella, wiping his sweat, and Bethany grabbed onto Isabella's shoulder.
Isabella assured her friends with her eyes and turned back to answer the principal, "Sorry sir, I was in the restroom. I'm going in.""Yes, go ahead," said the principal hastily as Isabella took another second, he will push her without a doubt.
Isabella slid the glass door and entered. It was a dark grey room and every piece of furniture was dark, too. But a scent scratched her nostrils; it was a unique billowy smell that urged her to breathe more.But suddenly she remembered the reason for her coming. But her eyes didn't see the person, only his coat was on the table but the person was missing.
She took a few steps forward toward the table when a chilling voice heard behind her and her heart almost leaped out of its place."You can try to push this table too because you are a superwoman."
Isabella blew out the fear and she stroked her chest. She could hear her beating heart. It was drumming madly. "When did you enter? I didn't hear the door slamming." Isabella asked the first thing that came to her mind."I was in the room. It's your fault you didn't notice," Alexander replied, slipping his hand into his pockets, while he stood with his leg crossed and leaned against the wall.
★★★Isabella looked at him strangely, as if she had heard something unusual and could not be justified. Not that Alexander was a ghost who could disappear whenever he wanted. She was busy evaluating Alexander and forgot to answer him, who was looking at her with displeasing eyes. "Fuck," Alexander anathematized at the slowpoke, who became mute and still can't get the sound back. "You are late. Don't you know punctuality? Second, don't do anything beyond your ability. You have entered this college on your scholarship. You know what I mean. I hate disobedient people," said Alexander slowly, straightening his posture which was leaned against the wall earlier. His gait was swift and royal.One harsh word after another ran into her ears, and Isabella's balance was shaken, her eyes full of hostility and her mouth forgetting to humble, "I am not a pet, which can be obedient by training. I was in the restroom. If it makes you impatient, why didn't you come there? Second, I got the scholarsh
★★★"What did he say? Has he threatened you?" the two girls rain their questions simultaneously on her before Isabella could breathe in the fresh air. After leaving the hell room, she felt how sweet the fresh air was. Her tense nerve relaxed, which had been tense in these few minutes."No, he didn't say grave things, just he asked me to do some of his office work, and instead, he will approve our majority letter to save Rachel's canteen. Now you two go and make a paper, where take signs of the students as many as possible so that we can save Rachel's canteen," Isabella explained everything to her friends and asked them to hurry because she thought they needed to do this work quickly before that the devil changed his mood."That's it! He agreed with your condition!” The disbelief was profound before resuming, “And wait, wait! What kind of office work has he given you?" Bethany asked."Yes, how can you agree to work when you have no experience?" Danny said, after Bethany, they just wante
★★★ Four girls entered with their snappy steps, their heels clicking on the restroom floor, and their vulgar high scented perfume just percolated into the restroom as they walked in. "We don't have time shitting with you guys. Move on," Bethany said annoyingly. Her two fingers just pressed to the tip of her nose because the smell of those girls wafted and gave her a headache. But looking at Bethany's daring, Alexy and her group blazed in anger. Their painted cat eyes were scrunched at them and their steps become violent from stylish as they approached them. "How dare you? Do you know how much our perfume costs?" Rinnai opened her mouth first, who was closely related to Alexy, as they were cousins. "Well, ours from Gucci and Channel, and they smell great," Danny smugly said, not because they wanted to talk about the brand, but because they gave a quick reminder that Rinnai and Alex's perfumes are not from the same brand as this group was obsessed with parading brand names. "Hu
"Noah," Isabella stood and turned to look at the man, and it was Noah, bright sun on a cold winter night. "Wow! I know your excitement isn't because of me. I pity my life," Noah said truthfully, sighing at his luck. How much he expected to see this enthusiasm in Isabella's eyes for himself, but it was all his dreams. "No, obviously, you're here with our group. Why wouldn't I be excited?" Isabella quickly covered up her excitement with her own words. Her attempt to tell a terrible lie made her cheeks red and the laughter of the two best friends only made her blush further. "Sweet. By the way, here's your book," Noah brought out her book under his shirt and handed it to her, for which she was forced to attend this bonfire. "Thanks, Noah," smiled Isabella as she took the book. Books are the closest to her. She always felt in her alone time that if she needed something, that was a good romance book. "You are welcome. Sit down now. I have something interesting for you girls," said No
★★★★ "Bella, come on. Spill it," Paoli, that girl, uttered again, and Isabella dislike these things if someone tried to force her about something. Moreover, she knew Paoli was doing this intentionally. "You've taken it too far, Paoli, which is wrong. By the way, I need to go, so I pass," Isabella didn't polite either, though her expression and words are gentle, her voice isn't. "That's mean, what we have heard is true that you are a virgin," Paoli spat and snickered as she stood up then resumed again, "I am confident that you haven't kissed anyone." "Shit!" everyone started whispering. Their mocking eyes were unbearable. Everyone turned their full attention to Isabella, activating their judge eyes and giving the vibe that being a virgin was a crime. "Okay, whatever. You are such a disgusting woman," Isabella answered and stood up. She threw the paper cup on the ground before crushing it with her feet. "How dare you? If I am lying, why don't you kiss someone right now? You can'
★★★ "Dear diary, today is my best day because momma said she will take me to Disneyland on my tenth birthday, which is next week. I am so excited and this weekend I will go shopping and buy everything in pink."After 13 days; "Dear diary, welcome me. I am back from my dream place. How do I express my happiness? It was one of my best gifts and I am thrilled. I have a lot of pictures and I am going to paste them onto this page, so whenever I will open this page, I'll recollect my memory."Every picture was telling Isabella's happiness. Either she was on Mickey Mouse or her father's shoulder. Her pose was different in every picture except for her bright smile, which brightened up the picture and the person who would see it.Alexander couldn't stop himself from looking at those pictures again and again. And she is now different from the past. Looking at those pictures one last time, he turned the page and saw it was blank, then went to the next page. It was blank again, but then he foun
★★★★ "Hey, wait." Just as Sunny was about to start his bike when a voice heard behind him. He saw it was Bethany, and it made him think about the reason because she wasn't a kind of easy-going girl, but he found her interesting."Hi. Can I help you with something?" Sunny asked as he parked the bike, hooking the key in his finger he came to the woman, and his tone was so relaxing, just like a well-mannered man. And his accent was good too, more like a Scottish man. "Yes, help me by taking your wallet, which you have forgotten," said Bethany, extending her hand with his wallet. Sunny's hand also reached toward his pocket in a hurry, and yes, his pocket was empty. "Thank you. I didn't realize," Sunny took his wallet and said. He wanted to talk a little more with her, but Bethany shook her head and turned. "Bethany." he couldn't help himself from calling her. "Yes," Bethany turned and replied. Her eyes noticed his flushed ears. "Can I… have your number?" Sunny coughed to complete a
★★★ A man was sitting comfortably on a big divan, facing the fireplace, while his hand was holding a glass of whisky. Then suddenly, the corner of his lips lifted into a sneer and his voice resonated, "Hello, Satan. I was waiting for you."A big figure flapped his wings and flew toward the sitting man, and the man didn't sit back, he also turned into a devil, changing his green eyes to red and opening his black wings, while his wing took him higher to dodge the attack of Satan. "You never have done this in hell, but today you are on fire because of that girl. Isn't it amazing?" the red-eyed devil said and rushed to Satan, Alexander."As I've already declared in hell that only I can play with my prey and I will decide when she will die or how long she will live," Alexander growled at the devil and lobbed a punch toward him, but it didn't fall on the devil, however, it destroyed the ceiling. "You are breaking the rules. Her death has been written about a long ago, but you are stopp
