I CAN'T SAY I DO WITHOUT YOU Part 23
As I rushed to the gate, I spotted Allerick and Blythe sitting next to the guard, waiting for someone to pick them up. I tried not to weep because I wanted to show them a smile, not my tears. "Hey, you mischievous kids!" I yelled out while waving my hand in the air. "ATE!" They dashed out the door and flung their arms around me. "How come you're here?" Allerick leaps for pleasure. "I told you, Blythe, ate Gemma was coming home." "OK, you win," Blythe replied, frowning. "It's nice you're here, ate. Allerick won't force me to come to you every day." I messed up both of their hair. "How are things going?" "We're fine," Allerick responded. "It's a relief to know you're all okay," I said. "How did you do while I was gone? Aren't you causing Mama's head to hurt?" "It's Blythe who gets on mama's nerves every time she asks about Ki..." Blythe abruptly shut Allerick's lips, preventing him from finishing whatever he was about to say. "Can we go home? I'm sick of all the things we did."

The joy in her eyes can be seen the minute she has eaten with Allerick and Lincoln. It was so much fun that I didn't know it was time to return to Borstal. Lincoln reminded me of a text message. Lincoln Royu: I hate to say this, but it's time to go, Gemma. To: Lincoln Royu OK, but can I have five more minutes? I just want to say goodbye to them properly. Lincoln Royu: OK, After drinking the glass of water, I cleared my throat. "How's the food?" I came to a halt. "Um... ah, Kuya Samuel is on his way to pick you up here." "Is it only us? You're not coming with us?" Blythe asked. "How can I say this... ah I-I can't go home yet, Ate still has a lot of schoolwork to do. Remember when I said I'd return with Papa?" I said as an excuse. "Don't you think they're giving you too much work? Can you say no, ate?" Blythe paused. "The house is too lonely when you're not there," she barely whispers. "Please!!" "B-Blythe... I'm sorry, but even if I wanted to go home, I couldn't since I had a

I couldn’t help but smile as we were on the trip back to Borstal, even though something unexpected had happened. The vehicle remained parked behind Borstal, where we had exited. He turned off the car engine, and we got out of the car and entered the gate. We caught Emmet asleep on a nearby bench in the prince’s private chamber. Lincoln chuckled. "This loafer." He brought his face up to Emmet. He patted Emmet’s brow. So, it awoke. "What the..." "Loafer, wake up!" "Jeez!" he screamed as he shoved Lincoln. "Lincoln! Darn you! You can wake me up without putting your face into mine." "I told you to keep an eye on the prince and not fall asleep." "You think I’ll just stand there staring at him all day?" Emmet gets up. "How was your trip?" "It was fun," I replied. "Good, my time spent watching after the prince should not be wasted." "As though you did something, all you did was sleep the entire time. Are you certain the prince is still there? You might not have realized he had gotte

The call abruptly came to a stop. It doesn’t make me feel better; instead, it makes me feel worse. Those phrases of the prince... make me anxious as well.It’s 12:30 a.m., yet King Augustus and Prince Augustus have still not returned to the palace. I think I won’t be able to sleep. To fall asleep, I went down to the library cause reading helps me sleep faster. I’m not sure which of these books I’ll read first. Fortunately, there are labels on every bookcase, so I had no trouble choosing an intriguing book. I was excited to see what was in these books, particularly the one about their family history, but when I saw how thick it was, I felt lazy to read it all of a sudden. What I did instead of reading was wander around the library out of sheer boredom. I spotted something at the far end of the library, a door that was blocked by a bookcase. It has a vibrant hue. It is visible to anybody. There was a warning sign on the wall showing it was off-limits, but I went anyway. My feet moved slo

"Have a nice meal." Mr. Sullivan, our English teacher, stated. I grabbed all of my books and placed them in the bag. Hang my backpack over my shoulder and turn heads out. "Come back here, Miss Gemma." a deep voice said from behind me. I took a step back. "Yes, Mr. Sullivan?" "Could you please do me a favor?" "What is it, Mr. Sullivan?" "Could you please return the books that I borrowed to the library? Don't worry; it’s not that much." I turned my gaze to the prince, who was walking away from me. "But…" "Just go over him after you've returned the books." I walked back into the room. Mr. Sullivan took the books underneath the desk one after the other. "One, two, three, four, fifth, and sixth..." Just glancing at the books he places on the table makes me dizzy. Is this what he says not much? "Mr. Sullivan, you stated a few books... There are far too many of these books. I can't carry them all by myself." "If Emmet can do it, so you can." "But, we have different strengths. Emmet i

Suddenly, I felt my phone vibrate in the pocket of my skirt. That's when I stopped weeping. I came to a halt for a brief period, took my phone from my pocket. When Mama's name showed on the screen, I was surprised. I wasn't expecting her to call. I brushed away my tears before answering the phone. "M-ma?" She coughs and clears her throat. "How are things going for you? Are you eating well? Come back if they don't adequately feed you." I want to tell her I want to go home right now, but her voice makes me feel like I can. Her voice persuaded me I was too far away to give up. "Yes, I'm eating well. It was as though I was gaining weight because of the luxurious taste of their food." "Good, because if they don't feed you right, I'll go there myself to bring you home." "Ma… I know you're wondering if I regret my decision. If I said I hadn't repented, I'd be lying. Every day, I regret not being with you guys, squandering every second, minute, and hour of my time to look after the prince

I rushed to the back of the palace after reporting to the king to seek a sack. Instead of baking macaroons for him this time, I'll create a bobble to cheer him up before their practice game tomorrow after I find out how strong the Fort Street Academy players are. "Hey!" Prince Emmanuel came unexpectedly, startling me and causing the sack I was clutching to fall off. "What are you doing?" "N-nothing," I stammered."Nothing? What is the sack for?" "Project?" I replied instantly, standing up straight and hiding the sack behind me. "You're not sure," he grinned."I'll go ahead first," I said"Okay," He said, quickening my pace, but before I could get away from him, he yelled my name again. "Tell the crown prince not to be too serious about the game tomorrow; it's just a practice game. It's okay if they lose." "OK," I said as I walked away from him. Is Fort Street Academy so strong that even Prince Emmanuel expects them to be defeated right away? I couldn't change my uniform since I w

I wandered around the field to search for Tal and the others. Not that far distant, I spotted someone waving. When I took a closer look, I was sure it was Tal and other music club members. I dashed towards them, climbing the third bleacher to get closer."I honestly didn't expect that many students would watch," I said, surprised."And even the FSA students attend only to watch the game. This is how intense their battle will be." Tal added."I could hardly wait."We waited over 20 minutes for the two school players to appear. Even Raeanna isn't here yet. Every minute, I check my phone to see whether Raeanna has responded to my text. "Please, Raeanna, please come," I murmured.The noise of the students came to a halt as if an angel had passed by. Only the whistle of the wind and the chirping of a bird can be heard. The students' gaze was focused in a single direction. I glanced at where they were looking. At the bottom of the field, I could see Raeanna standing, searching for someone.I
