"Ella?" I called her while she's washing the dishes. She knows a lot about the household chores whereas I don't. I even asked her to teach me but she doesn't want to do it because a princess like me shouldn't do what maids do. I just rolled my eyes inside my thought. I wished I was a pauper with a loving family than being a princess with a family who didn't care about me.
"Yeah?"
"You were about to tell me something, right?" I just seated here, watching her.
"Am I? Uh, no. It's nothing."
I never thought I'd talk to her like this. For the first time, I thought, that she's a friend, someone special to me. And I also think she treats me the same. Or maybe she just needed someone to talk to but when we go back to school, she will return to her old self. Bullying me, with the twins at her side.
After washing the dishes, she decided to take a shower. I still feel cold and maybe I'll follow after she's done. I strolled around the mansion. I turned my gaze
I don't get what he meant. What is he saying? For an unknown reason, tears started to form in my eyes."There was this girl. She became a part of our lives. She was the same as you at first. An introvert, she doesn't communicate with anyone. She's also smart just like you. I never thought that she would become more than a friend in Neil's eyes," he started as he placed his hands inside the pocket of his pants. He stepped backwards and leaned on the wall. He lifted his head to the sky like he's imagining what he is saying. I just looked at him as I focused in listening to everything his mouth says."When we were in our senior high school years, the four of us were always close. Close like those four guys we see in the anime Boys Over Flowers.""Boys Over Flowers? You mean the F4?" My forehead knotted as I asked that. Is it just me or there are four guys in their circle of friends? But why did I only met three, Kenneth, Kit and Neil? Who's the fourth one?"
"Gold." He slowly lifted his right hand and placed it on my left cheek."I'm not a good comforter though, but I'll try my best to make you feel better." I smiled.He suddenly moved so I tried to move back but he immediately grabbed my arm and pulled me closer to him. My face is literally an inch far from his face. We both stared into each other's eyes. I can feel his breath. Seconds later, he moved his face closer and closer like he's about to kiss me. Is this it? Will he really kiss me?I cleared my throat and decided to avoid my gaze."Gold. Only you can make me feel better," he stated.I stood up and sighed before I looked down to him. My face showed no emotion. It's like I'm a titan looking down on the villagers."Neil, I am not an ordinary girl. You gotta work hard to get my kiss. This thing's very precious to me." I turned around and took a step away from him. Geez, what the heck am I saying? Hell, I'm a conservative type of girl so ev
"Hey! What made you think that?!" Neil yelled as he pointed the kid."Because big sis Janice is your girlfriend. If big sis Marie is not big bro Kit's girlfriend, then maybe big bro Kenneth's!" The kid pointed Kenneth so the guy lightly scratched the back of his neck in embarrassment."Listen, kid!" Neil walked towards the kid. I sensed something bad so I pulled Neil back. Don't tell me he's going to do something bad to just a kid?"Hey, Gold! Let go of me!" Neil yelled at me but I still won't let go of his arm."He's just a kid!" I yelled back at him."I know he's a kid! I'm not stupid!""Can't you calm down?!"The both of us are yelling at each other. Honestly, I never thought I'd be this noisy though. Why do annoying extroverts like Neil influenced me to become noisy just like him? Should I be happy that I slowly get to blend in with the real world?"You both look like a couple, really," someone commented."No way/ He
I thanked Kenneth for bringing me to the clinic. He smiled and said it's okay. Whenever Kit and Neil are fighting over me, he had no choice but to get in the way. We both headed towards the hut but no one is there. We noticed that something's going on at the back part of the hut so we went there.Everyone was busy decorating the yard. Ella was helping in the decorations, while Kit and Neil were lifting boxes. The two of them aren't talking to each other maybe because of what happened earlier."I'll leave you here, Marigold." Kenneth said as he tapped my shoulder. I smiled and nodded and just stared at his back as he run towards his friends."Hi, dear."I was almost scared to death when grandma suddenly spoke beside me. I never thought she'd suddenly appear right beside me like a ghost."Grandma.""You realized their feelings for you, haven't you?" She asked as she just looked at the people busy with their works.I looked down. Kenneth
"Good morning, sunshine!! Good morning everybody!! Good morning to myself!!" I heard Kenneth shouting so I immediately opened my eyes. Geez, that guy. I hate alarm clocks! I still wanna sleep—"Hey, Marigold!! Wake up, wake up!!" I immediately rose up from lying down when he opened the tent."What are you doing, jerk?!!" Ella yelled at him. She also woke up when she heard his loud voice."It's already 6 in the morning and there are still things to do here. Come on, lazy ladies! Wake up!"I glared at him but he just put on a teasing smile on his face.I tied my messy hair without combing it and went out the tent wearing a usual look of a newly woken up princess."Good morning, Marigold," Kit greeted me with a charming smile. I greeted him back with the same vibe. A normal lady would've fallen inlove with him already the moment he showed his smile so early in the morning. Imagine if a guy like Kit would be the first person you discern, i
I looked at myself infront of a mirror as I combed my long, straight and black hair. Now where should Ella and I go? We should have left this place already. We spent our day with those guys and it would be shameful if we stayed here longer. But where do we go? Should I go home already and accept my parents' punishment? There's no other choice. Sooner or later, my parents will find me.I came to the dining area and they are already there, breakfast was already served. Their eyes nailed on me as I walked downstairs. I can't help but feel uncomfortable. I'm not used to people giving their attention to me.I sat beside Ella and looked down on my lap. They're so quiet and I can still feel their stares on me."Marigold, mind to share us your plan?" Kit suddenly asked so I lifted my head to look at him."Plan?" I asked him. I don't get what he meant."Are you going to stay with us longer? I know that's not what you want," he said."She'll stay for
I don't know what to feel. Should I be happy because my brother was the only one who found me? Or should I be nervous and scared? I don't know what he will do. Will he bring me home? But I am not ready to face my parents yet.Whatever. I should go to him and hug him first. I missed him!I was about to take steps towards him when I suddenly saw two figures appeared to his side. The people that I never thought I'd see. The people I wished I could never see."Marigold, my dear!!" Mom yelled and ran to my direction. I don't know if she's just faking it but she's acting like a worried mother.I just stood here waiting for her to come nearer. I don't know how I should react. How did they find me?Mom hugged me tightly. I didn't hug back for I didn't know if she's really worried about me or she's just being hypocritical."You're so stupid! You made us so worried!!" She released the hug and cupped my face. I stared at her in the eyes. I want to read
I swayed my body with a smile on my face as I walked my way to the classroom. Well, who wouldn't be? I am happy that I finally get along with my family, although I'm still a little bit shy when I'm with them.Before I could step in the building where my classroom is situated, I grabbed the headphone my brother gave to me which I placed inside my bag. I put it on and music started to play. I don't know what will happen if I step inside the classroom. Earlier I went to the powder room first and I made Ella go on ahead so now here I am, walking alone.I'm still the introverted kind of person just like the way I am. I don't want any connection with my surroundings especially inside the classroom. I don't even know if Ella would return to her old self or have she changed?When I stood at the entrance, my eyes widened when all of my classmates were gazing to my direction. I don't know if I should continue to step in or not. They were all wearing smiles on their faces.
