But the bell saved Rai as the bell that is the signal to start the first class of the day finally rang which pulled everyone from their dazes after they saw both Vince and Rai entered together, and with Vinceโs uniform missing, only for them to see it wrapped around Raiโs waist! It was truly unexpected, but also somewhat expected since they could see that Vince likes Raina. So, when something happened to Raina, which is very normal for blooming girls, it is natural that Vince would help Raina and let borrow Raina his (Vinceโs) uniform to help Raina cover the back of โherโ skirt which was stained with blood due to โherโ monthly period, which Raina โherselfโ truly didnโt expect.How could Raina, or Rai actually, expect that he would experience a monthly period?! After all, he is not a girl! Even if he has the body of a girl right now, due to him being cursed by a goddess, Rai still didnโt think that he would undergo this bloody (literally) process that only girls would undergo! Because
Reiner and Vince are glancing inside the convenience store from time to time. Some female students who know them almost squealed in excitement since they saw the two men. After all, they are not of the same class or same grade as them. Though, who wouldnโt like such handsome young men that are also of good personality? Not to mention that they are from wealthy families! So, who wouldnโt take a look at them and like them?! They are the prime examples of dream guys, okay?!But when they were about to approach them, they finally noticed that Reiner and Vince kept glancing inside the convenience store. The group of female students turned to follow where the two guys were looking, then they understood what was happening. Because they saw Raina and Sheinna inside the convenience store. They understood that Reiner and Vince are here for Sheinna and Raina, respectively. And if they were not in the know, they would think that Reiner and Sheinna, and Vince and Rainaโฆ these two pairs are already
Shaneโs hand that is holding the sanitary pad stopped after he heard what Rai said. โI knowโฆโ he muttered and bit his lip as he lowered his head. His eyes are full of guilt. Rai saw Shaneโs expression and heaved a sigh. โGeezโฆ I didnโt tell you this to make you feel guilty!โ he said and shook his head. He wanted to slap his mouth. โI know.โ Shane smiled at Rai, assuring him that he knew he meant well. โAnd I am really glad that Reiner really trusts me.โ He said and took a deep breath. โI also know that I shouldnโt take advantage of his trust in meโฆ butโฆ it is just โ โ he shook his head. He didnโt continue what he was saying. Rai of course knows. And that is, it was because both of them were cursed. But, just as he was about to speak, they heard the sound of footsteps. โSanโฆ sanitaryโฆ p โ padsโฆโ a small voice spoke. Both Shane and Rai turned to see a cute girl carrying a basket and her face was very red like it was dripping blood as she looked around the shelves which had different
Rai had always known that Shane is a straight A student who would always prepare in advance not only for their quizzes and tests, but even for their lessons from their books and modules. Thus, Shane would be able to answer all the questions that their teachers would throw at their class. This is the same with Reiner, who is Shaneโs best friend and was actually the one who influenced Shane to be a straight A student.After all, Shane only had Reiner to play with and since Reiner is not able to play since he has to study, Shane was forced to also study with Reiner. And thus began Shaneโs road to becoming a straight A student with Reiner! So, even if they were cursed right now, Shane still studied some matters that are appropriate in their current situation! For instance, the menstrual period. And now, the sanitary pads that they have to use now that they are girls and like Rai, are undergoing a menstrual period, which really gives Rai a big headache.โC โ canโฆ can โ โ the cute girl sudd
Rai and Shane looked at each other with their gazes talking. โStelleโ and โStellaโโฆ They thought. And of the same ageโฆ even though one is a boy and the other is a girl, their elder brother is Reinerโฆ They pondered as they pinched their chins. If Stelle has a twin, then it would be Stella since it was only now that they noticed that Stella looked like Stelle! They didnโt notice it before since Stella has her head lowered, just like Stelle does when he is talking to people!But Shane is certain that Stelle has no twin sister! Or else the Wellday family would have long announced it! And they have no reason, too, to hide Stellaโs existence, since after all, they had long been waiting for a baby girl!Soโฆ if Stella is not Stelleโs twin sister, thenโฆ who is Stella? Shane thought, feeling extremely puzzled. And what Shane could think, Rai could pick it up. Thus, right now, Rai is staring at Reiner and Stella who are conversing in low voices. As if feeling his gaze, Reiner and Stella stopped
โโtwinโฆ sisterโโฆโ Reiner muttered, stunned, when he heard what Shane said. Then, he immediately recovered his expression as he recalled that he has to keep his younger brotherโs secret about turning into a younger sister! โYes, yesโฆ Stellaโฆ She is Stelleโs twin sister.โ He said. It was obvious that he lied. He avoided Shaneโs gaze so that the other wonโt see in his eyes that he is lying.Shaneโs lips curled up. โOh.โ He muttered and smiled at Reiner before he turned to look at โStellaโ who was hiding behind Reiner. โHello!โ he greeted โherโ.Stella, or Stelle, felt like the more that he looks at โSheinnaโs smile, the more familiar it is. Not to mention that โSheinnaโs face is similar to his elder brotherโs best friend โ Shane. And thinking of Shane, Stelle now recalled that โSheinnaโs smile is like Shaneโs smile! That creepy smile when Shane bullied him before!The hairs on Stelleโs nape stood on their ends as he immediately lowered his head to avoid Shaneโs gaze that was very piercin
Midton residence.โOh, myโฆ how can you buy these things?!โ Rynier exclaimed after he saw the sanitary pads that Rai bought.Rai, upon hearing what his elder brother said and seeing his elder brotherโs expression, felt a headache coming to him. โBrotherโฆโ he called. But, Rynier cut him off.โYou could have let the butler buy them for you!โ Rynier told Rai.Rai paused, then fell silent. He looked at the butler who nodded at him with his gaze full of encouragement. โโฆ okay. I will let them buy it next time.โ He said. โButโฆ I was with Shane when I bought these, and he was the one who chose them for me.โ He told Rynier.โOh, so it was Shane.โ Rynier muttered and nodded in understanding. โWell, he is a straight A student and thus always prepared for everything. Itโs good, itโs good.โ He muttered. โI will definitely let him have an easier night schedule for his studiesโฆ tell the teachers to be easier on him.โ He said.โThank you, brother.โ Rai smiled at Rynier.โNo need for thanks between us
Raiโs face was dark as he looked at the very familiar blue, sparkling ball gown and a black choker in front of him. This blue, sparkling ball gown is none other than the blue ball gown of Cinderella in the cartoons! And also in the movies! And right now, it is impeccably similar to those ball gowns! Prejudice aside, this ball gown is exactly the same ball gown in the original Cinderella โ the cartoon one!But no matter whether this blue ball gown is the original ball gown in that cartoon nor not, Rai really doesnโt want to wear it! Why would he? He is a guy โ well, spiritually! And he has the heart of a playboy, so why would he wear this ball gown that only the women that he flirts with or seduces would wear?!Not to mention those glass shoesโฆ Rai felt goosebumps on his skin just as he looked at them, thinking that he will wear them soonโฆ he canโt help but close his eyes. He doesnโt want to accept this reality!โRaiverโฆโ Rynier called as he looked at his younger brother with pity in h
The next day.“So… Cole was actually also a ‘chosen one’ like Spade and Heart?” Rai muttered as they looked at Cole in surprise after Stelle told them everything that Cole confessed to Stelle.In fact, that Friday night, it was supposed to be Stelle who should confess to Cole. And Stelle did, as himself. But before Stelle could confess to Cole as Stella, before Stelle could even escape to change to Stella, Cole suddenly stopped him. And before Stelle could react to ask Cole why did he stop him, Cole suddenly confessed to him, too. Not only of Cole liking him, too, but also Cole as Diamond!One could imagine the shock that Stelle felt that time as he listened to Cole tell him everything, from him being chosen by the ‘gods’ – the King and Queen, up to him meeting Spade and then Heart. But, Spade and Heart don’t know him as Cole, since he appeared before them as just a ball of light.“Yes… I
Midton residence.“What the… hell – “ Rai muttered under his breath as he looked at Vince who was eating his breakfast while seated next to him. A stunned expression is still on Rai’s face while his eyes are wide in disbelief. He really didn’t expect what he heard Vince say to him earlier.“Second is because you are hiding something from me.” Vince said. “It was because last night, you were there as Raina.” He said as he looked at the stunned Rai in the eyes. “You are Raina, Rai. I know everything.” He told him.Rai rubbed his hands on his face, feeling as if he is Harry Potter and Vince is Hagrid earlier as that scene in Sorcerer’s Stone played in his mind where Hagrid told Harry that Harry is a wizard. But jokes aside… &
Compared to the shocking happening on Rai’s side, Shane and Reiner’s meeting is surprisingly calm. Reiner had never found Shane last night, and after a sleepless night, he saw Shane’s message to him this morning telling him to come and meet him. Attached in the message is a location. Reiner then knew that Shane is finally willing to tell him the truth – everything that he has experienced when he was cursed. And he couldn’t thank him more, since he knows how difficult it was for Shane to tell him others about it, including him who he is his lover.Reiner knows that Shane is different from Stelle, who told him about him being cursed. Not only because Reiner is Stelle’s brother, but Stelle is highly dependent on Reiner, too. Stelle is also timid and easily panics, so Stelle immediately told Reiner about him being accidentally cursed. That is why Reiner was surprised that St
But, something unexpected happened on Rai’s side, too. He was just about to eat breakfast after ending his call with Stelle, promising him that he, along with Shane and the others, would see him later. It was then that the butler called him telling him that someone came to see him.“Who is it?” Rai asked as he fixed his clothes to make himself look more presentable.“It was Vincent Dauncy.” The butler answered.Rai’s feet instantly froze when he heard the name. “What?!” he exclaimed. He didn’t expect Vince to come so early this morning. More like, why would Vince come here in the first place?! Is it to find Raina to ask why she confessed to him last night?Rai frowned as he lowered his gaze.
“How did you find out that Raiver was also cursed?” Reiner asked as he and Vince walked around the grove to try looking for Shane in case Shane hasn’t left yet."When I saw Raiver changed, too." Vince answered.Reiner was shocked. "You saw him?!" he exclaimed. “Wait, when?” he asked.“Earlier, when I chased him.” Vince said."But based from your tone, you are convinced before that, that Raiver was cursed.” Reiner said as his forehead knitted.“Yes. And I confirmed it earlier.” Vince explained.“… so it was your suspicion before?” Reiner sighed.Vince looked
Reiner was chasing Shane but because Shane ran into the grove, Reiner was unable to find him for an hour. Shane was really good at hiding, Reiner knows this. So, Reiner can only sigh in defeat and catch his breath.“Reiner.” Vince called from behind him.Reiner turned and saw Vince. He was about to speak, only to freeze when he saw that Vince was holding a black leather shoe. He felt speechless.“Raiver’s?” Reiner spoke, though there is no need to ask. Until now, he still can’t believe that Raina is actually Raiver Midton. But Vince would not lie to him, so he has no choice but to believe it.Vince nodded in affirmation and looked in the direction where Rai disappeared. Reiner didn’t speak and just recalled his and Vince’s
Rai saw Reiner and Shane join them on the dance floor and his heart beat even faster due to nervousness. He saw Spade and the other winked at him, encouraging him. Then, he saw Kaiser who smiled at him, mouthing at him to go for it. But, he didn’t see Stelle. Rai doesn’t know whether Stelle has already confessed to Cole and changed Stella to confess to him againas Stella.Rai turned back to Shane and saw that Shane looked very relaxed. Then, Rai understood that Shane must have let go of all of his worries. Rai can’t help but smile, feeling happy for Shane. His nervousness also disappeared.“Rai?” Vince called when he saw that Rai smiled. “Did something good happen?” he asked.Rai nodded and chuckled. “Yes. I feel very happy.” He answered.
Rai and Shane are sitting on their seats along with Spade who is sitting on Rai’s other side while they stare at the food on the round table. Rynier was sitting beside Spade, while Reiner sat on Shane’s other side. So, among them, it is only Rai and Vince who were separated and are actually seated across from each other. But, they know that Shane and Reiner, and Spade and Rynier, are pairs of couples. They just can’t separate these couples, right?As for Kaiser and Stelle, they have already seen them earlier and are waiting for them to finish talking with their friends and classmates before going to their table to share a table with them. With the presence of the alumni of the school, there is no order in the seating nor the tables except that the area at the front is for the teachers and alumni. Rynier should be with them, but Rynier naturally chose to be with his younger brother Rai and
One month later.“Oh, my gosh! The young miss really looks like the live version of Cinderella!” the makeup artists and hair stylists exclaimed as they looked at the girl in front of them who was standing in front of the mirror, staring at herself.The girl’s hair is tied in a high bun with some of her curled hair locks kissing her cheeks that were blushed red. Her eyelashes are long, fanning her blue eyes as she blinks. Her lips are red like blood, which is a stark contrast to her blue ball gown. But, even if her ball gown is not the same as Cinderella, they still can’t help but think of Cinderella as they look at her. On top of her head is a diamond tiara instead of a blue hairband like Cinderella’s.The girl, who is actually a guy inside, pursed his lips in a forced smile. “Tha
