Chapter 19
Eliana's POV
I suddenly had this strong urge of decluttering my closet. I got up early today, with the mission of cleaning my room, like every corner of it, before I get ready for Hugo and I’s hangout later. I sweep the floor using the new broom that I bought online which only arrived yesterday. Along the process, I collect all of the stuff that I own but deemed useless now in order for it to stop taking too much space. I also got rid of the books that I have already read a long time ago. I am planning to give these to Lucas in case something in it would attract his interest. The remaining ones would be donated to public libraries or for children. After sweeping, I removed the mop from my cleaning materials corner, wet it, then proceeded to mop the whole room. I have also cleaned the mess in the kitchen that was made yesterday when my friends came over. The trash would be taken out by me later when I go out.
After all of these chores, I debated with

Eliana’s POV[“So are you available today?”] I ask Katelyn from the other line.My mind was awoken first before my body did. It seemed like there’s a task that is still unaccomplished, the first thing I did when I hauled myself up from my bed was to rack my mind with information, and that’s when I remember that all the clothes I have decluttered on the other day was not yet delivered and donated. Based on my calculations, there’s quite a lot of amount of clothes I will be donating so I needed an extra hand to help, that is why I am asking Katelyn.There’s an un audible sound I have heard from Kate’s line, something that could broke my ear by listening so I take my phone away from my ear for second. [“Hey, Katelyn, are you still there? What’s that noise?”] I asked.[“Hey, Yes, I am still here! Could you hear me now?”] Kately
Clash of Hearts Chapter 21
Hugo’s POVToday feels lighter, compared to all the other days that I have had in the human world. I feel better, at peace, and surprisingly… happier. I feel happier. Maybe because Eliana have been warming up to me like the old times. We have been out and about frequently. She now hesitates less in coming to me for help, because I made sure to make her feel that she does not need to hesitate at all. Whenever she calls, wherever the place may be, whatever the situation is, I assure her that I will be there. And this is how things are going exactly as I have planned. But this does not seem important to me now as it did back then. Am I slacking off? This cannot be. I could not lose my momentum. And the worst part is that I do not feel the pressure that usually pushes me to do better, to do literally anything that would help me get back on track. Maybe I really am slacking off.My thoughts were ruined when I realized that my feet ar

Eliana’s POVMy throat is getting hurt from all the laugh I have been doing because of Katelyn’s stories. “Where did you get all these stories from? You said you are busy with something but it seems like you have been on social media, rummaging for all these!” I told Katelyn while laughing. It honestly feels like ages since I laugh this hard. It’s just so funny I could literally roll on the ground while laughing, if anyone would not mind.Lucas in my side is shaking his head. “It’s not even that funny.” He said, his eyes is on laughing Hugo did not escape my eyes, something flickered on his eyes before it was averted from his food. Something that could name like an irritation. Not going to lie, that made my mood shifted a little bit. What is seriously Lucas’ problem to Hugo? It’s been months since the ‘new guy’ that isn’t new anymore cam
Clash of Hearts Chapter 23
Eliana’s POV“I do not like how you are getting too close with that guy, to be completely honest with you,” Lucas said.We are now in his room, with me sitting on his bed while he sat on the floor, his back leaned against the foot of his bed. After our last class, we mutually decided that we needed to talk, and that we should just talk here because it is private. I have just asked him what the matter is when he gave me that response.“Hugo have been with us for a while now. You still calling him ‘that guy’ is just rude, Lucas. Like, what really is your problem? I got it the first time, you were skeptical of his existence because he was new. But now that he have been around long enough already, you are still acting like that. I do not get it, Lucas. He is even nice to you even when all you ever do is breathe down his neck whenever he is in your presence. I am not asking you to be friend
Clash of Hearts Chapter 24
Hugo’s POVI already tried browsing the internet, hoping to stumble with an answer in the homework that our professor assigned to our class but my head hurts from all the terms that was being used to the explanation I have seen related to our homework; the reason why I didn’t get to answer it, for the explanation was vague to me and my mind cannot seem to recognize nor digest any of it. I am already certain that being a student, in the human world, is such a tiresome. Though I should not worry if I flunk or pass, a tiny bit of something is kind of pushing me to strive to study, that’s why I sent a message to Eliana for help.My phone beeped, indicating that I received a message. I open and close my eyes to set aside the tiredness I am feeling. I clicked the link that Eliana included in the text she have sent me for an enlightenment. Had I known that the thing called ‘Youtube’ exists, maybe I wouldn’t stay
Clash of Hearts Chapter 25
Lucas’ POVAn hour. It had been exactly an hour since Eliana and Hugo departed. Kat went straight home, claiming that she still have something important to do. As for me, I went directly to Eli’s place. We had decided that I would just wait for her here, although I insisted that I should come with her. For safety purposes, obviously. But she reasoned out that Hugo and her are both vampires and if I would go with her, I am going to be the one who would need protection.She called me last night, saying that she wanted to confront Hugo as soon as possible. She decided that she would just do it casually, reasoning that there would be no use holding back. She knows the truth now and wants to know everything behind the truth as well.I, too, Eliana, want to know everything. I smiled bitterly. Love really has its way of clouding up your rationality, yeah? In all the years of my life, I had never once thought that I
Clash of Hearts Chapter 26
Eliana’s POV“I will see you tomorrow with Katelyn, okay? Please do know that whatever will happen, I am always here, ready to be confided in, alright? And please… please use this whole night to have a rest. I know in your kind… sleep isn’t really necessary but please… please do rest, okay?” Lucas said, ruffling my hair that temporarily assuaged what I have been feeling since I turned my back on Hugo. He’s really too good that made me realize how cruel the world he’d been living in, how worst the person he’s been ruffling the hair with.I nodded my head at him and smiled, hoping the exhaustion would somehow go off of my face. I really want to express my gratitude to him, but even smiling is preventing me to do so. I am afraid if I would move my limbs something will snap within me. I am just beyond exhausted and just wanted to be engulfed by solitude, in a claustrophobic room wher
Clash of Hearts Chapter 27
Eliana’s POVIt had been two months, going three, since the talk happened. The talk being the one where I confessed to Kat what I truly am, like my real identity, me being a vampire and not a human like them. The talk obviously did not go well. Kat was mad, really mad, to the point that I did not even get the chance to elaborate myself and my situation. That day with Kat walking out of my dorm room, Lucas following him because I told him to, and me being left all alone there. Alone to cry and crumble, feeling like the whole world is against me, suffering the consequences because of my own doing.What was worse was that Kat started ignoring me after that, too. She would avoid me in every way possible. The routes to school, to the places where I eat, and she even stopped sitting with me in the classrooms. Lucas would always invite us two at his place, or anywhere, just to get us all together. But Katelyn would always, always reject. She
