Mag-log inVERONICA’S POV 🍃-The next day I went straight to the rooftop.I rolled up the sleeves of my uniform.I didn’t cover the long cuts all over my wrist.I held the blade tightly, which made my palm bleed.There’s nothing left to hide. Calix already knows what happened to me, he saw it all with his own eyes. I just know he’ll look at me differently now, he’ll hate what he saw. He’ll be disgusted by me. He’ll leave me.I pressed the blade firmly against my wrist. I smiled as I saw blood, then I slashed it.I would’ve done this a long time ago, if Calix hadn’t shown up that day.In this place where I met someone who accepted me and didn’t judge me, I would end my life.I slashed my wrist again, harder, deeper, and I made sure there was a vein to hit.I drew in a shaky breath.The ache was overwhelming, stinging like fire. I couldn’t hold back my tears any longer. The pain was too sharp.I couldn’t feel my hand anymore, followed by my whole body. My eyelids were getting heavy.“VERONICA!”
VERONICA’S POV 🍃-Someone placed a lot of notebooks on my table.“Since you’re the one who still doing seatwork, you should hand them over to Teacher Ramirez.”I nodded in response.“Slut,” my classmate muttered under her breath. But since there were only three of us here, I heard it clearly.I glared at my classmate who said slut, then her friend dragged her out.Lucky for her I was in a rush, otherwise I’d have stripped every last strand of hair from her head. If she were as beautiful as I am, her pathetic boyfriend would never have interested to me. Anyway, I’m already growing closer to Zander Calix Watson, I don’t need anyone else.As soon as I finished my classwork, I tidied up my stuff.I was about to leave when my phone rang. It was Calix.[“Where are you?”]“On my way to the faculty. I’m just going to hand our seatwork.”We’re going to Chloe’s house so I can practice what kind of make-up look to do on her.Chloe and I were equally giddy. I was excited to finally use the pro
VERONICA’S POV 🍃-I pressed lightly against his chest, signaling him to let me go. I stepped back two paces.I grinned turned to laughed. “Zander Calix Watson, likes me? Are you crazy? That’s bullsh*t Calix.”“I’m serious about what I said.”Little by little, I stopped laughing as I saw how seriously he was looking at me.I mirthless grin right after arranged the things I was going to use. “Sit down now.”I glanced over at him again. He’d sat down, yet his eyes remained locked on me, unwavering and serious.“If this is just some kind of game to you, please stop now, Calix,” following that I turned to face him again. “Lift your chin up a little.”He did as I said then started hiding the cuts and bruises on his face.“I’m glad I had a friend like you, as well as Harrison, Wallace
VERONICA’S POV 🍃-“Huh?”What is s this? Why is my heart beating so fast all of a sudden? I can feel the heat all over my face.I’ve always known I’m beautiful, people tell me that all the time. But hearing it from Calix was different. Not because he’s handsome, but because of how he said it… so genuine, I could feel his words held no deceit at all.He gently took my wrist. “Why are you doing this to yourself? Just two more cuts to your wrist, right on the vein and you could lose your life.”“What do you care?” I asked rudely.“Can you do the same to me?”“What do you mean?”“Keep my wounds hidden too.”He stood up and took off his long-sleeved school uniform, followed by his sleeveless shirt. There were bruises and wounds all over his body. I could tell most of the
VERONICA’S POV 🍃-“VERONICA FROST!”I stared at my mother wearily. There she was, roaring like a dragon once more as she shrieked my name.She stood up angrily.“You damn brat!”The three of them were already eating.My mother walked up to me and slapped me. I didn’t flinch. It would be far more unexpected if they ever invited me to share a meal.“Is that my breakfast, mom?” I asked sarcastically.“I’ve lost three thousand dollars cash.”“So?”“So you’re not just good for nothing, you’re a thief on top of it all.”“Um?” I pretended to think to annoy my parents more. “Well, yeah. I took it.”“You ungrateful little brat,” she snarled, pointing straight at me. “And what’s that on your face again? Why do you
NATHALIE’S POV 🍃-Donna’s been here all day talking with Sapphire. They’ve covered so much ground, their conversation was one emotional roller coaster.They were talking and laughing together until Donna suddenly burst into tears, making Sapphire laugh. Moments later, Donna was laughing instead, and Sapphire was the one crying.Sapphire said something to Donna that I hadn’t told her, so there were times Donna was surprised and even got upset with me for a seconds.Xander also fell asleep a few times, but the two of them continued talking.Right now I’m looking at Watson Jewelry’s jewelry design magazine.I saw many designs I knew as Sapphire — Brianna’s work, but they gave credit to Veronica.—&mdas
NATHALIE’S POV-After we finished the ferris wheel, we ate dinner.With our stomachs full, we initially planned to stroll around the amusement park a little longer. However, we soon realized that closing time was fast approaching. Considering it was already 11 PM, we opted to grab our remaining fo
NATHALIE’S POV-Waking up, I felt kisses on my cheek and a tiny hand gently holding my face.“Baby?” I called softly and opened my eyes.As I opened my eyes, Brianna’s adorable face was the first thing that greeted me.I got up and sat in front of her. “Good morning, baby.”She then stood up, now
NATHALIE’S POV-“Sir,” I called to him, and then he bit into the chicken burger that I brought close to his mouth.After he took a bite I went back to my seat and wiped the side of Brianna’s mouth with the tissue that had barbeque dipping sauce from the chicken nuggets she had eaten.After I wiped
