I could say that Alice was really weird. Just because she found out that her crush was in the house, she has been staring at the sleeping Andrew like a creepy person."He might melt," I said to her.She giggled, refusing to hold back. She insisted that she will guard her prince no matter what, even though he was just drunk. She's overacting."If Andrew melts, I'll be the one to lick him," she said, acting all love-struck.Can I kick this girl out of our house?"Girl, you are so gross!”"Just kidding, I'm just being silly. But why is my Andrew here? Maybe he wants to court you?" Alice pouted. "Well, who am I for him to court?" And then she started to act dramatic."Huh? It didn't even cross my mind. You know, entertaining suitors is my least priority. My priority is to leave this place. I have to get back what I lost."Just in time, Andrew woke up. Alice immediately stood up and went behind me. Earlier, she almost kissed Andrew while he was asleep, but now that he's awake, she's hiding
I was just planning to watch the procession and the parade of queens. I used to read and watch events like this before, but I didn't even know that they still do these parade with beautiful women in their finest dress. We were just waiting in a shed near Kyla's house when her older sister approached her."Oh no! It happened again, Kyla.""Can you believe it? That show-off Maribeth was so into her queen role, as if she's the center of attention! Because of her pretentiousness, she had an accident, fell down the stairs, and got injured."Kyla suddenly stood up, looking like she won the lottery. She didn't seem to hide her joy very well, right? It looks like she has a deep hatred towards that girl."Good for her! She was too obsessed with being arrogant and boastful. She thought she was so beautiful! Karma is real, I tell you!"Her older sister lightly punched her. "You're enjoying this too much! What about us? We're looking for a replacement for our representative, but we can't find any
WELL, I didn't expect him to be here this early. First, their estate was far from our house. I feel like it's not just a mere coincidence either."Hey," he greeted me with a smile as he jogged towards me.I couldn't help but notice what he was wearing. He had on volleyball shorts that showcased his muscular thighs, and because he was tall, you could clearly see the shape of his legs. He was also wearing a hoodie, I don't know what this guy's style was all about. But all in all, he looked pleasant. He didn't dress like Alice or her cousin. The color of his clothes suited him."What are you doing here?" I asked, slightly puzzled.He scratched his head. "I just remembered yesterday that you go jogging before I pass out, so I thought, maybe you're exercising again today."I nodded and decided to start jogging. Since we were near the countryside, we passed by a few farmers.Andrew seemed to be popular among the farmers. He seemed to have a friendly rapport with them. So maybe he's here to
SURELY, being drowned in the water was not the best experience we could ever have. The last thing I remembered was that two arms pulled me up before I lost consciousness.I woke up with water coming out of my mouth, as if something blocking my airway had been removed. The next thing I knew, I saw myself crying. I never expected this to happen to me. Alice and Kyla were comforting me."It's your fault, you're so deep underwater! Thankfully, Logan saved you," Kyla said to me."I didn't know I would drown there."I gave Logan a dirty look. He avoided eye contact. It's his fault! He could have chosen to save me earlier. But no, he chose to watch me slowly drown. I will never forget that. If he wants me dead, he hates me too deeply.I didn't want to ruin our mini-swimming trip, so I let it go. We chose to have fun. I didn't want to be a killjoy. I decided to swim in the shallow area."Are you okay now? If Aunt finds out about this, she'll strangle me!" Alice said to me."Then she should no
The whole classroom erupted in laughter, and Miss Davenport scolded them. She sent me back to my seat, and now I understand the hate coming from Kyla. This teacher was just too much.Like, there are lots of lectures, quizzes right away, and assignments. She was so strict and cruel to the students. Like, what the hell? I might develop trauma from her class. The next class would be my favorite subject, and hopefully, I will learn a lot from Mr. Dave. We have an accounting subject, and it's my favorite subject, as I said.After that, it was time for our 15-minute break. My mind wasn't drained, just a bit sleepy since I'm still adjusting. The vacation was quite long, so I got used to having long sleep. I slung my bag over my shoulder. I was planning to leave the classroom. I was thinking of asking Andrew for help to find their canteen, but I think he's busy with his own circle of friends.I chose not to disturb him and made my way to the canteen. I asked the people I passed by, and they w
"THEN, you want to be here with those young perverts? I know you don't know where you're going now, and you're most likely lost your way, and you're scared alone with those evil strangers,” he said.I hate how he was right. He's right that I'm scared now. Just because I'm in the countryside doesn't mean there are no threats like in the city, like those young boys with perverted looks. There are so many of them, and sexual harassment is my nightmare."You're right, where are you taking me anyway?"I'll just choose the lesser evil. I know that at least he won't do anything bad to me. We have common friends, people we know. He should be afraid to harm me."Well, to the manor, I prepared some food there, you can actually visit that place," he casually said.He started walking in a certain direction. It turns out we're heading to his car. It's not a fancy car, it looks like the typical car you'd see in farmlands. We got in, and I felt like it might become an issue. But I didn't think about
Time always seemed to fly by unnoticed. I think I deserve commendation for surviving a whole hell week. Just imagine, from day one until now, some of my girl classmates were still giving me those sharp gazes like I deserved them. Excuse me? As far as I could remember, I haven't done anything wrong to them.But anyway, Friday was a Physical Education day. Since I still don't have the proper PE uniform, I used my old school uniform instead. The school uniform was given to me earlier than the PE uniform.As usual, I entered the school with my group of friends, whom I considered as one. Tomorrow was supposed to be my day off, but surprise! I'll be facing someone whom I have a lot of resentment towards.Logan.Just imagining or thinking about his name gives me a definite chill and annoyed me to the core of my being."Should we still walk you to your classroom, girl?" Kyla offered as we reached the Strand Building.I refused her offer. "I can manage here, you can go ahead to your room.""Ar
Suddenly LOGAN appeared out of nowhere with one great purpose, to ruin my day if it was not obvious. Was this geezer born to ruin my every day? I thought they were wealthy, so why can't he mind his own business then? Logan approached me with his familiar sharp gaze. His stares were so piercing, like an eagle spotting its next victim."I have something for you to do," he said sternly.I haven't even finished my work here yet. His gaze intensified as if he wanted to stab me with his eyes right now."I said I have something for you to do, quite hard to comprehend?" he insulted me further.I just looked at Andrew, who was puzzled by the two of us."I'll follow your kind brother first," I told Andrew. I even heard someone complain."What?"I walked ahead of Logan. I had no idea where this Logan guy was taking me. But it seems like we're heading to the kitchen now."You better not break another vase, because neither of us wants to see each other longer," I said."Yeah, I don't want to see a
