Love Over Gamble

I was running on the floor's hallway to head outside the building in order to catch up a guy. That man was walking on the main pathway with his group of friends in their club when I saw him from our classroom's window. While running, I have a box of gift with me. I was catching my breath when I finally made it to the pathway where lots of passersby could be seen. Yet, the only person my eyes were seeing was that guy who's walking away. I ran again and caught up with that person and his friends."W-Wait!" I shouted to stop them, my voice was obviously on a tired volume. Gladly, the group of male students stopped and the one on the middle part slowly turned around to face me. Every single thing, every single movement of the people around became slow when his and my eyes met. He has brownish black eyes with long eyelashes, way longer to mine. His gaze has something in it that could bewitch anyone. Those sparkly, messy black hair that even a single lock

It felt as if I was teleported to the coldest place in the world when Mezakiel told that the gamble was all about me and Aspen ending up together. That's how Mezakiel and I will win. "S-Stop lying around me! Are you sure that the name you mentioned will be our target to win?!" I shouted and even slammed the table. I also took some customers' attention. "Why do you know his name?!" Mezakiel shrugged his shoulders, looking like he's no idea. "Why do I know? Me, lying around you? Hey, listen." I automatically shut my mouth and leaned backward when Mezakiel pointed at me with his glaring eyes. "Remember that we're players here. Cooperate and stop reacting into every information I say, Aspen Medina was the mentioned target that you're suppose to end up with." I flinched in surprise and wrinkled my nose at him. I don't get why this guy knew Aspen but it's obvious that Mezakiel discovered Aspen's existence as the game manager mentioned.  The pers

To be honest, I could still manage to walk and carry the books with me despite committing a bit headache yet here we are. Aspen insisted to bring me at the clinic after we put the books to the faculty."I'm fine. You don't need to waste your time aiding my head here," I repeated but Aspen was lending deafened ears. That ball's impact was not even enough to lose my consciouness off. Although I was slightly walking in zigzag with the books and Aspen was behind me, watching if I ever lose balance. In the end, I succeeded from heading here with him since he insisted. Aspen's too worried, I just wanted to go home and squeal like the luckiest girl in town. I wast sitting on a minobloc chair while Aspen's busy finding the pain reliever ointment from the first aid kit. "Here, close your eyes and lean sideward," he ordered with a gentle voice. My lips even trembled in startlement when Aspen leaned closer to my face. I could cle

No one talked and Coraline didn't change the mad but curious expression on her face. I was just stucked, thinking what to answer and Mezakiel's waving his brows as if he's now counting on me. Who would expect that we'll get caught by someone who knows Aspen here?! Alright, Karin. Calm down and be practical by just dropping a handy lie. I faced Coraline who was glaring and tapping her foot on the floor. "I thought you're deeply in love with Aspen but you're already having a backup boyfriend!" I performed a facepalm and sighed. She's overreacting by saying that. And I need to explain. "And who are you to stick yourself in Aspen and Karin!" Coraline added and Mezakiel even stepped bckward. "No, Coraline! What are you saying? Calm down. He's my, my cousin!" I lied and looked at Mezakiel who was really, really shocked. That was the only way she'll believe us! Coraline pouted. "Cousin, huh? He's just

I couldn't stand this anymore! We've been frozen in the same position ever since Aspen dragged me in his car with him. "What's going---" "Shh!" Aspen swiftly covered my mouth with his hand and he hushed, drawing his face near my face. "I'm pretty sure she noticed us earlier so we must be sure that she won't catch us." His face was so close to me, I could almost feel his breaths. And I wanted to take his hand off of my face or else I will be caught burning in hot blushes! This is also embarassing. Still, I gently pulled his hand away from my face and Aspen noticed that he's been covering my it for so long. "Oh, I'm sorry. I jusy overreacted from... from her arrival." I heaved a very heavy sigh when Aspen drew himself farther. At last, a space. "Who is she? I mean, why are we hiding ourselves from her?" I asked Aspen and tried to take a peek from the outside. Actually, I was preventing him to see
