Louisa's p.o.v;At college, Ryder, "What do you want to talk to me about?" "Did you beat Lucas?" "Yeah." I thought he would refuse but he agreed. "Why did you beat him?""I'm a bully. I beat a lot of boys. I don't need a reason to beat anyone. Is that why you called me? Then, I'm leaving.""Did you hear us in the cafeteria?" "I have to go somewhere." I held his hand and said, "Thank you." He removed my hand and asked while smiling, "Where did you learn to thank people? Is this really the Louisa I know?" "I'm leaving.""Hold on. Where are you leaving already? I have a question to ask you. Who's the other guy in the picture?""I'm afraid I can't answer that." "Why? Is he your boyfriend?" While I was figuring out what to answer, I got a call. I asked for an excuse and walked away from him. Who called me now? When I looked at the display, I saw my mother's name on the display. I ended the call and said to Ryder, "I have to hurry up." "Thank you again." And walked away from him.
Louisa's p.o.v;I was looking at Ace who was sleeping on the bed beside me and the one who looked cute when he's drunk. This is the first time I'm seeing him getting drunk. I saw him drinking before but never saw him getting wasted. He apologised a lot of times in one night. I don't know if I could forgive but I'm sure I can't forget it. I turned off the lights and laid beside him, facing him. "Did you know that I got worried when you didn't show up? I must be insane, right? To be worried about class one mafia. I wonder who you are underneath all of this. I'm getting confused about who's the real one sometimes. Is it the one who's outside the room, murdering almost everyone or the one who's beside me, being nice and warm. Whoever you are, Please, don't make it difficult for me." I closed my eyes and fell asleep. The next morning, I woke up to the noises from the kitchen. I got out of the bed and walked straight to the kitchen and asked Ace, who was doing something on the stove, "W
Louisa's p.o.v;After the party, I went to my place. I changed my clothes and took a look at the recipe I got from Lily. After looking at the recipe, I decided to bake the cake so that it'll rest for a day. I placed the ingredients I needed for the batter and for the frosting on the kitchen table. First, I started with the process of burnt honey. It is not literally burning but caramelising the honey. I took a saucepan, poured honey and turned the flame to medium and stirred it continuously. Lily told me to cook the honey for eight to ten minutes so let's do it like she said. After ten minutes, the honey turned caramel in colour so I turned off the flame and added a few drops of cold water to stop it from cooking further. I set aside the burnt honey to cool down and took another saucepan to heat butter, sugar, burnt honey and regular honey altogether. After five minutes, I added baking soda and started whisking it until the colour changed while giving tiny bubbles. After it cooled
Louisa's p.o.v;The next morning,I woke up to the alarm sound, which felt like it was ringing inside my head. Didn't I turn it off last night? I took my phone and turned it off. When I tried to lay down again, I saw the empty space beside me. Ace wasn't there like he said last night. He left before I woke up. I let out a sigh and stared at the ceiling. Finally, my mother's words came true again. I can't keep anyone beside me, somehow they'll leave either it'll be me or their wish. This time, it is by both of them. I got up from the bed and walked out of my room to get some water. When I opened the fridge, I saw the cake I made for Ace. Shit! I totally forgot that I baked a cake for him. What should I do now? If I take this cake to him, what will he think of me? I feel bad about myself. At Least i shouldn't be mad at him yesterday. What can I do if he orders me around? I blamed the cake, "Your boss is so bad. Because of him, you're going to go to someone else." My phone rang. When
Louisa's p.o.v;After finishing my work in the cafe, I went to my apartment. I looked around for Ace forgetting what happened yesterday. When it hit, I felt confused about myself. Why did I search for him in the first place? Wasn't I just a fling for him? Let's stop thinking about him.When I dropped on the couch, I remembered the cake I made for Ace. How did I forget it? What am I going to do with the cake now? Back in the cafe, when Ryan and Lily asked for the cake, I said that I hadn't started preparing yet. I can't believe I lied shamelessly for a cake. Urggh!I opened the refrigerator, took the cake out and walked out of the apartment, closing the door behind. After some hours, I stood in front of Ace's house. I must be really crazy to come here. I ringed and waited outside the house. Someone opened the door and asked for my identity. While I was explaining, Mateo saw me and asked, "Louisa, what are you doing here?" He told the guy who opened the door to leave and asked me to c
Louisa's p.o.v;After a week, Today's the graduation day for Danielle, not only her but I was also waiting for this day to come. I decided that today's my last try for the red stone. If I can't get any leads, I'm dropping this search and going to put an end to it. Danielle, "Hey Lou!" She gave me a hug and said, "Thank you for showing up early. But I have yet to get my certificate from the principal inside the college and the ceremony will take place here in the open space. If you don't mind, can you please wait here with others?""Yeah, no problem. I'll wait.""Thank you again, Louisa. My friends are waiting inside. I'll get back to them. See ya at the ceremony." She walked into the building.I took a seat in the open space area she mentioned. It was literally an open stage for the students to celebrate their graduation. I looked around and saw parents, siblings, friends gathered here for their sons and daughters on their graduation ceremony. When I looked at them, I thought, 'I'm
Louisa's p.o.v;I woke up to the alarm which I forgot to turn off again. After turning it off, I got out of the bed and walked to the kitchen since I felt hungry as I woke up. When I opened the refrigerator, it was empty. Did I forget to buy groceries again? It's difficult to get used to living alone after having a roommate around. After a shower, I must hit a convenience store otherwise I have to go to nearby food stalls again. I took the egg out of the refrigerator and made Scrambled eggs out of it. After having scrambled eggs for breakfast, I took a shower and walked out of the apartment to go to a convenience store. After a while, I arrived at the convenience store. I looked for bread, eggs, butter and cheese which is the easiest breakfast to prepare in the morning once I wake up. Once I got everything, I walked around to look for instant noodles. Since I'm going to stay at my apartment during the holidays, should I look for another part time job? If I wanted to go, what kind o
Louisa's p.o.v;After a week, At hospital, in front of Bernie's room,"Did you get that driver now?" I asked Raphael about the person who ran away after the accident. Raphael answered, "Like i already said, the driver's face wasn't registered in the surveillance camera in that street. Moreover there wasn't any camera where the accident occurred. The car number is also fake. I couldn't get any information about this case."I got mad after hearing him say, "The driver couldn't be traced. The car plate number is fake. Are you saying that he fell down from the sky…" i stopped shouting at him and realised that it could be Pandora gang. They already sent someone to spy on me. And they hurt Antonio when he tried to keep an eye on Bernie. This could definitely be them. I continued to Raphael, "Find him soon, Raphael." And walked into Bernie's room. Everly was feeding him the food using a spoon while Bernie was whining to her. After seeing me, Bernie complained to me, "Louisa, i said my ha
