Eliana’s POV
It did not strike me as something that Lucas would do, but here we are now. At the university’s cafeteria, with me trying to dissolve the tension between Kat and Lucas, while the two just seemed to be getting more and more annoyed with each other. What really happened? Simple. A professor of ours assigned us a task which requires the work to be done by pair. Lucas being Lucas, went to me automatically, just like what would normally happen. Since Kat is obviously more on the extrovert side, she gets along with others easily and is friends with almost everyone in the room, so it is really not hard for her to get a partner. As for Lucas and I, it is quite the opposite. That is why during by-pair tasks like this, we automatically go to each other. But this time, as he was about to go to me, Hugo beats him to it. And Lucas’ knee-jerk reaction was to tell Hugo to go off.
And as if the situation was not awkward enough

Eliana’s POV Flashback… “Mom, I want my dress as simple and elegant as yours. And I rather not wear any jewelries that Aunt Maria suggested, I can already envision myself struggling, by just the sight of it,” I told my mom as I scrub my skin gently with my body soaked down by the tub that contains fresh milk and few petals of roses. In normal days, my body’s contented with a normal bath, but that won’t work today with my mom. I could hear Mom saying something but I cannot fathom it clearly. “What?” I ask. “I said finish your bath now! Your father’s asking if we’re already dressed and ready to go!” Mom shouted. I am hearing her foot going back and forth inside my room, probably getting ready all the stuff that I’ll be wearing and use. “Coming, Mom!” I shouted back as I hauled my body up from being soaked. I turned on the shower and stand in front to make the runn

Hugo’s POVI am feeling extra happy today, and rightfully so. Just yesterday, I was hanging out with Eliana’s squad. They let me sit with them during lunch, which I think they did in order to erase the dark cloud that have been hovering above us ever since that one task that required us to do it by pair. That was quite a scene, with that Lucas guy being painfully obvious that he does not like me getting too friendly with Eliana, while the latter is being oblivious to that fact. But anyway, let bygones be bygones, we sat at one table during lunch and the Deere heiress actually talked to me. I would ask her questions, she would respond, then throw a question back to me at times. I felt Lucas’ heavy stares, but whatever. It is not like he is the one that I would pursue.After lunch, as we were walking to our next class, I asked Eli if she would want to hang out after school. I nonchalantly told her that there was this store I

Eliana’s POVI bury my face on my soft pillow and let out a shriek as soon as I got myself lay into my bed. I cannot believe I just did that. Where did my shame go earlier? I cannot believe I have just brazenly borrowed Hugo’s cell so I could type my number on it, saved with my friends’ nickname on me. Why did the ground let me stand still, when they could have just devoured me in front of Hugo? I could have just said that I enjoyed hanging around with him and do the things I like the most, and leave. But no, my hand’s being itchy and the words “Can I borrow you phone for a second” begged me to death to finally breakthrough. I heaved a long sigh, a signal to slowly recover myself from what was happened. I sat on my bed and feel myself. Although a little part of me was panicking a little from what just happened, something inside me was unburdened, and that couldn’t be denied. Maybe it was

Eliana’s POV “Go, and try it, Hugo. It’s not bad as you think,” I say while handing him the ice cream sandwich that we’ve bought earlier. We walked earlier to buy something to eat while we sit in front of the lake. We just realized that there’s something missing right after my stomach betrayed me by eliciting a grumbling sound. For the second time, why didn’t the ground devour me? But then, he let out a delicious chuckle and said, “We better do something about it, El,” and then we headed and stumbled upon this ice cream parlor nearby, where we bought a different flavor and some ice cream sandwiches he’s refusing to eat. He wince a little. “Isn’t weird? And… it does not looked as enticing to my view as yours. It looks weird, so it’s probably tastes weird,” he said. Shuffling a little while he walk. “I mean, no offense, I respect your taste, but…,” I tilt my head at him and take a bite of my ice cream sandwich. Ugh, this is really heaven.

Hugo’s POVWeeks passed and our bond continued to grow. I wake up every day extra early so I could come to class earlier than her. Every single day, without missing a beat, I make sure that I would arrive first, waiting behind her chair. We have been to a couple of coffee shops, too, not because she loves coffee itself but because of the ambience. Every place I know where a good scenery exists, I make sure to tell her and ask her to come. Because she loves taking photos of them, and it brings her peace, too. I never failed to text her after each hang out, to let her know that I want to make sure she arrived at her room safe, even though I always drop her off at the foot of her dormitory building. Every step I take towards her, I do it carefully. I am always smiling. I always make sure that she is comfortable. I never once did anything that I know would make her feel turned off or simply turn away. That is why I do not know why she is now avoiding me. Altho

Eliana’s POVOn Sundays, I would usually be with Kat and Lucas. We could be outside café hopping if there is not much school works to do, or simply relaxing at Lucas’ place. I cannot remember how it started, but weekends usually are time for the three of us. Well, except when there is an emergency or there is a group work that one of us needed to attend to. I have given Hugo some of my weekends already, before I realized that he is getting too close. I have missed some of the hangouts with the other two for the past weeks, leaving them to bond by themselves. But now, I am officially back to being with them in every hangout. Being with Hugo was too fun, until it was too scary. Because another person entering my circle means that there would be another soul that I would be keeping my identity from. I cannot let that happen. Two is already too much to handle for me.Today, a Sunday, the three of us decided that it would be fu

Hugo’s POVSaying that I am frustrated is an understatement. First, she dropped down my invitation, saying that she is busy and already had her plan concrete, but how could she not extend the same courtesy to her friends when I heard Katelyn asked her to be with her in some places I do not care about. Second was when I went to her dorm to propose my invitation to come with me, again. But was actually halted when I heard Eliana’s voice, talking to someone on her phone, for which my instinct told me that’s her best friend, Katelyn. She emerged in the front door, well-dressed, while I am trying my best to peek at her behind the huge tree that was erected nearby. I secretly watch her back, walking her legs towards Lucas. That’s when I am now certain, she and that Lucas guy is now, ugh, dating. What the hell, right? After I spend my precious time bringing her to the places I knew she would love to go to, uninterestedly comb the internet for ef

It has been half an hour since Hugo and I arrived at the clinic. I hurt myself in the process of walking hurriedly so I would not have to walk for too long with him, but ended up riding on his back because of my own doings. How stupid of me. We missed the organization’s meeting, too. Faith already knew what happened and excused us for the day. Yeah, us. Because Hugo is still not leaving my side until now. I have already told him the moment that we got here that he must go, that I could take things from here and handle myself. But this one is really hard-headed.The nurse have already given my ankle the treatment that it needs. She said that it is not something that bad, that I must be just shocked from the impact. She put an ice pack on it and left me here in a bed to rest, saying I could stay until someone fetches me.Hugo is holding his phone at the moment, not using it, while letting his eyes travel around the room. He seemed to be
