I gripped the strap of my sling bag and looked at Hansel. His hands were tucked inside the pocket of his jeans, looking down at me. I couldn't see his eyes because of his tinted sunglasses, making me frown in confusion. When he shook his head, he motioned me to go inside his car.
I hesitantly complied as he also got in and settled on his leather chair. When I shut the door close beside me, I turned my gaze to him.
"What are you doing here?" I asked, stoic.
He removed his sunglasses and drifted his hazel e

The sunlight striking my face caused me to open my eyes and scrunched my nose. It peeked through the open window, just beside the bed I was laying on. I started to roam my eyes around the place I was in, blue-painted and neatly decorated walls. I managed to sit upright from laying down, my head felt heavy, causing me to catch the weight of my head on my palm.I wasn't quite sure if I'd been here before, so I started to look around the place. There was a computer desk placed on the left side of the room, decorated with a pencil stand and some picture frames. There was also a football ball placed beside the basket of clothes near the white plain door. A wooden bookshelf hung above the television in front of the bed I was laying on. The room was neat, and the area smelled like a lit scented candle.Then the memory of last night flashed in my head, and my hangover was taking over my body. My forearms ached, maybe because I slept in the wrong p
His Fragile Flame Chapter 34: Sport's Day
I was walking down the hallway to exit the school. After lunch, we were told to stay for the sports competition that would happen later at the gymnasium. But I wasn't really feeling the urge to watch since I got so many things to do, and I promised myself to clean my apartment. It wasn't a requirement also, so if I went home, they couldn't do anything about it.I walked down the staircase outside of the school's entryway and traipsed down the slabbed pathway. The sun hit the surface of my skin with its burning rays, as the heat started to form on my pale complexion. I diverted my way to the other exit beside the main parking lot, so the large hovering trees could cover the sun from striking my skin. Was it preventing me from going home?I walked through the parking lot shaded with trees as the dried leaves fall off of it. I continued my way, looking straight ahead at the other ends of the lot when I saw Miguel, walking towards my
His Fragile Flame Chapter 35: The Game
"Dude, where's Lindsey?" Mason asked curiously, his eyes were fixated to Kourtney."Why are you asking me that?" Daniel irritatedly responded.So I was guessing, Lindsey was supposed to be in the volleyball team, and then Kourtney sabotaged that. How predictable."Kourtney said that his pretty little sister went out with Nicholas because he's leaving tomorrow," Emma spoke, her gaze still glued to her phone as she scrolled down with her thumb. "And they need a back-up athlete because Lindsey bailed out the last minute." She rolled her eyes to us, sliding his phone inside her pocket. It seemed like Kourtney texted her the entire conflict.Then the three of us looked at Daniel. His jaw tightened, his ocean-blue eyes showed nothing but void. It must be really tough for him to accept their breakup, especially when his ex-girlfriend cared more about Nick.Mason's large hand ran on Daniel's back
His Fragile Flame Chapter 36: Reputation Over Attraction
I knew who I wanted to go with, but I didn't understand why these people suddenly offered to give me a lift. I could take a bus instead, so I wouldn't be pressured to decide.When I darted my eyes to Miguel, he was staring back and forth to Daniel and me as if confused. His eyebrows were raised, and his lips were drawn to a thin line. Then Kourtney and I exchanged looks, but she just wiggled her eyebrows convincingly. I knew she wanted me to hop in Daniel's Harley, and I detested being close to him.Heaving a sigh of frustration, my feet led me closer to his motorcycle. I took a glance at Kourtney and back at Miguel who seemed disappointed. I gave him a half-smile, hating my sudden decision."Yo Kourtney, aren't we gonna leave yet?" Emma called out, shaking all of us from the utter silence."We all should probably head home," Kourtney said with finality. "See you tomorrow." She tugged her lips into a smirk
His Fragile Flame Chapter 37: Confession
When I unlocked my apartment's door with Daniel clinging his arm around my shoulder. I quickly went inside and walked towards the couch of my small living room. I plopped him on the loveseat couch, making him wince in pain.He managed to sit upright, leaning his aching back against the couch. He threw his head back and shut his eyes close to relieve the pain. His cheeks were swollen, and blood continued to fall from the wound beside his eye. His firm arms were bruised, some scratches slightly cut his flesh as redness peeked through the open wound. His white uniform top was stained with blood, and there were few missing buttons at the top of his button-up shirt.I moved to the kitchen area and stood in front of the small refrigerator. I opened it, pulling the ice cube mold and put it on top of the counter. I reached for the aid kit placed on top of the sink, grabbing the ice bag, betadine, and some band-aid. When I was done putting ice in t

Trigger warning: there's a mention of an eating disorder in this chapter.~*~It was lunchtime, and the Royals were sat on the dining table in their lounge. The food was served in front of us, with the appetizing aroma of smoking hot steaks. They were literally treating them like Royals, something I was envious of.Kourtney made me sit down beside Daniel, with Amanda and Miguel in front of us. I didn't like where I was sitting, especially I couldn't help but casually glance at Miguel in front of me. He would give me a half-smile and Amanda wouldn't notice. She was looking at the salad that was placed before her, holding her phone beside the plate.We were eating some steak, and a few side dishes they gave to us. Only the clinking of steel on the glass plate was audible, as everyone kept quiet. Not until Kourtney broke the silence."Amanda, why h
His Fragile Flame Chapter 39: Girl Talk
Kourtney brought the white mug of coffee to her lips and sipped. Her hazel eyes watched me, as I leaned against the chair while staring down at my beverage. The coffee shop was cold, and it wasn't packed with people. The soft jazz song played in the background, as I savored the relaxation it gave me."I wanted to talk to you about Danny," Kourtney said, putting down the mug on the small white plate."What about him?" I asked, raising my brows."He might seem a little hotheaded at first, but really, he's just being like that because of Lindsey," she explained, as the things Nick uttered whispered in my ears.In the first place, she was the one who made her sister cheat, and she used Nick to ruin their relationship. How was she the one who had the audacity to make her sister look bad to other people? She was just really out of her mind."What's wrong with Lindsey?" I asked, sipping the frapp
His Fragile Flame Chapter 40: The Planning
He slowly turned to me, back against the door as his eyes ran from my head to toe. His gaze was intense, like a fury was starting to build up in them. Then he looked away to hide it and rubbed his fingers on his temple.I watched his movement, completely clueless as I stood in front of him with my feet glued to the ground. He was looking down, his left hand was placed on his hip and the other was rubbing his forehead. I wanted to run away, but my gut told me to listen to what he was about to utter. And so I didn't move."What did you and Kourtney plan about, huh?" He flitted his glistening eyes upward, as it pierced to my blue ones.Well, this escalated quickly. I thought to myself. I looked away from his intense stare and backed away a little. My hands were sweaty, gripping the bomber jacket wrapped around me. Blood started to drain on my flustered face, as my heart began to race. This always happened when my anx
