Sanya...I was dumbfounded when Adam's lips touched mine. I didn't know what to do and how to react. I just stood there, staring. I felt like my brain suddenly stopped functioning. I didn't expect this to happen, maybe because I knew we hated each other. I always thought that kissing me would be the last thing he would want to do—or maybe I just thought so.I was about to close my eyes when my phone started ringing.Thank God! Saved by the bell!He moved away from me, and we briefly locked eyes before I turned around and took my cellphone from my bag, then entered my room. I didn't want to wait for him to say anything. I knew he would pester me with endless questions."Hey Sanya!""Oh, hey Kyra. What is it?""I just called to ask if you're ready. Remember, the outing is in 2 days.""I'm just getting ready. I still need to buy some things to bring.""Okay, cool. Let's go shopping together tomorrow, and then we can stay at Alexa's condo from Saturday night until Monday morning. It's clo
Sanya...SEVERAL hours passed, and before we knew it, it was already evening. We decided to head to Alexa's condo to spend the night until Monday morning."Oh? What are you doing here? Get out!" Alexa exclaimed when she opened the door for us.Kyra, with a mischievous smile, entered and casually placed the stuff we bought on the couch, acting as if it were her own place."I thought Kyra already told you," I said, entering as well."She didn't say anything," Alexa replied grumpily."Really?" I looked at Kyra, who just smiled. "Is that true?""Don't believe her, Sanya. She's just messing with us," Kyra responded.I heard Alexa laugh behind me. "Just kidding, Sanya. Besides, even if you didn't tell me, it's okay. You're always welcome here."We chatted again while Kyra and I organized our things, including the tent we would use for the outing we were sharing."Are you sure everything's okay?" Alexa asked. "Did you forget anything? I'm sorry I can't join; you should have told me earlier t
Adam...I shouldn't be worried about her, but that's what's happening now. I can say that the kiss between Sanya and me didn't mean anything to me, but deep down, I know it does. Despite trying not to, I find myself hoping that we can sort out whatever we have.I know it sounds crazy, but I've thought about this. I'm not that numb to not realize that I could fall for her. It wasn't intentional, and I didn't plan to feel these things, especially for a woman whose only purpose seems to be making my life difficult.Maybe the heart is really foolish; it understands things that my mind can't comprehend. I shouldn't like her, but here I am, calling her, not caring if I sound overly concerned for her.When she closed the door after our kiss, I stayed outside. Sleep didn't come immediately; I just stood outside her door, contemplating whether to knock. But fear overcame me, so I went into my own room instead.I thought I'd talk to her the next morning, but as expected, she left to avoid me. W
Sanya...KYRA and I almost missed our breakfast due to our haste. We woke up at 3:30 am, and it was a good thing that Alexa's condo was close to the school."What's wrong with you two? Don't you know what an alarm is?" Alexa scolded us. She woke up to use the bathroom and noticed it was almost 4 am, so she hurriedly woke us up. "If I didn't wake up, you might have missed the bus."Kyra and I just shook our heads. Before leaving and saying our goodbyes to Alexa, we double-checked everything. Once we were sure we hadn't forgotten anything, we left. Kyra used her car and parked it in the school parking lot.She called someone last night to pick up her car and left the keys with Alexa. She would give them to the person since it would be a three-day outing.I saw six buses arrive, three for the guys and three for the girls. Another set was for our teachers and facilitators. Inside the bus, we each had our own seat on both sides. It was fine not having a seatmate since many of us had a lot
Adam...SANYA and her wickedness. Is there still a chance for her to change? Even if she's not excessively kind, she could at least have a heart, even if it's just a little.This morning, I was looking for her. I was already at school early, and she and Kyra arrived together, but it's as if I were just air that she walked past.When they got on the bus, I was just waiting for her to at least look for me. I waited for her to glance in my direction, but when she saw me, she just covered her window with the curtain.I handed a mocha latte to her, and when Lee said he accepted it, I got off the bus again and saw that she just threw it to the guy she embarrassed.Honestly, I don't know why I liked her. In the two days I didn't see her, I kept looking for her. When I saw her again, I couldn't explain the happiness. I just feel it, but even though I feel that, I still know that what she's doing is not right.Did she get so annoyed that she vented her anger on the guy in front of her and then
Adam... "HEY, can you move over, you're so ugly!" shouted a very beautiful girl as she pushed my arm aside. She's the star, the queen, it's her, and no one else. Me, I'm just ordinary in the eyes of most people, an ordinary student, an ordinary citizen, an ordinary person, everything just ordinary. When will I become the star? When will it be my turn to be admired and looked up to? When will I be the popular one and loved by people, even just here at school? It's tiring to always be ordinary. I know everything is possible, but it seems unlikely to happen. Have you ever felt like this at some point? Like you're just a nobody, no one cares about you, I don't have any friends at this school because I am always trying to stay out of trouble, but sometimes, you just want a person you can talk to, I feel invisible most of the time, no one tried to approach me or be friends with me, every time I try to talk to people, they'd be weirded out by me or they already have their own set of frie
Adam... HERE we are again. It's so annoying and tiresome. This person doesn't even have an ounce of pity for me. Wasn't I almost at my breaking point the other day? I was the one who got hurt. I knew what I did was wrong, but that wouldn't have happened if only she wasn't treating me this way. And now, she threw a spoon at me. Of course, it hurt; I got hit on the cheek, and now there's a bruise. "You're really going too far, you woman. Be thankful I'm not giving you a taste of your own medicine!" "I'm not asking for retaliation, just some respect and decency," she retorted. "None of this would have happened if you didn't treat me this way." "Why? Isn't it part of the agreement that I can do whatever I want to you, since you're my slave?" "I'm not your slave; I'm your husband." "It's practically the same thing." "So, being a husband is the same as being a servant? Then you should have married one." "Who was the one who first asked for help?" I clenched my fist. Damn it, I was
Adam...IT has been almost a week since that day when we had a fight, and it hasn't happened again because I've been avoiding it.Sometimes I lock myself in my room or eat outside, and when I'm at school, if I see them coming, I avoid them - Sanya and her friends. I don't want to embarrass myself again.I'm here now in our English class, and the professor is speaking, but I'm not listening. I was surprised when someone sat beside me and introduced herself."Selena Tora, so how are we going to do this?" she asked, and I was dumbfounded. She looked like a nerd, but I was speechless because I didn't understand what she was saying, she rolled her eyes at me."You weren't listening. You're my partner, the professor said we need to create a presentation as if we're on a talk show. We'll exchange questions without a script while we're there. It's easy, right?" she asked, raising her eyebrows. I smiled and nodded."Okay then, good. Where can we practice? I mean, so we can discuss what we need
