25.3 ARCHER
People in our school were continually staring at her whenever we came in together; she was no longer looked at for her beauty, but for what had happened in her life. She was bullied even more, but I defended her once as a reason for them to stop. The professors felt sorry for her and became even more protective of her; they adored her for being intelligent, sweet, and kind, so they were on her side. They made sure that no one will hurt or bully Sierra in the school anymore, if someone is caught doing so will get severely punished by the principal.
When she abruptly came to a stop halfway through her classroom door, I nearly tripped on my own feet. "What? Did you leave something in the car? I'll go back for it." I said.
Her visage was once again expressionless. Before she spoke, she sighed, "I'd like you to stop picking me up and driving me home from school. I w

When it was time for lunch, I went straight to Sierra's classroom to give her a snack. She thanked me and didn't say anything else; she was with Maevis and a couple of her friends were also finishing their work in the classroom, so I felt quite secure because she was telling the truth and she wasn't alone with the weirdo Maevis. I then went straight to the cafeteria to eat because I hadn't eaten breakfast and my stomach was growling.As soon as I came inside, I was struck by the unusual presence of people. I even overheard them talking about Sierra yelling at me earlier, and when they noticed me, they immediately stopped talking and avoided looking at me. While others, such as Dionne, continued to mock me. Instead of leaving, I kept walking toward the counter, as if they were all invisible to me."Gosh, I couldn't believe Archer would lower himself to the level

I almost went to pick up Sierra from their classroom to take her home after class, but I realized she didn't want me to do that anymore. So I left the school without looking back at her room. I was about to get into my car when I stopped in my trance when I saw her walking home with Maevis. I wanted to stop her, but I didn't want her to become even more enraged with me, so I let her go with that crazy head."Hey, Archer, are you on your way home yet?" I flinched and took a quick glance at the person speaking next to me. It's Ever."Um, yeah." I offered him a tiny smile. He shrugged, and I could see in his eyes that he was attempting to say something, so I waited while watching the students run and stroll out of the school."Is it okay if I talk to you about something? Only if you have a second and if you're fine wit

September 27, 2016Sierra has been away from school for three days. Sierra arrived for Ever's birthday celebration but only stayed for a few minutes, primarily to give Ever my gift before leaving. I never phoned Sierra that day, so I had no idea she came, not because I don't care, but because I don't want to ruin her mood. I merely told her that if she wanted to attend Ever's party, that's fine with me, and made her bring my gift for him.I went to Sierra's house the day after Ever's birthday because she didn't go to school that day. I was about to ask her why she didn't go, but then I spotted her from a distance through the large glass windows of their shop, talking with a lady in her twenties. Based on the irritated expressions on their faces, they appeared to be in a misunderstanding. I believe she was speaking to Emmy, her cousin.

I parked my car near Sierra's house. I rushed out when I found Maevis sitting in a chair inside their bakeshop, chatting to Sierra, who was just standing in front of her, patiently listening to whatever she was saying. I ran closer and instantly drew Sierra's attention; her eyes widened slightly, prompting Maevis to look through the window; she was likewise taken aback when she saw me sprinting toward the bakeshop as if my life depended on reaching them.When I opened the door, Maevis immediately rose up, patted Sierra on the shoulder, and turned in my direction without looking at me. She was ready to go out the door when I moved to block her way, causing her to raise her head and throw me a death glare."Can you get out of my way?" Her voice was irritated, but I ignored her and turned to look at Sierra, who was still standing there embracing herself. Maevis mo

I tousled my hair and slumped back in my chair, defeated by my own love for her. "Can you tell me what you want to talk about?" I asked gently. She continued to cry as she stared at the table, her chin resting on her palm.I suddenly felt sad for her plight, so despite my annoyance, I stood up and went behind her. I pulled her hair behind her ear and knelt down beside her, holding her other hand in her lap. Sierra wiped her tears away and glanced at me."I'm sorry for treating you like a shit and—""Shh, stop saying that." I said as I kissed her hand. I despise it when she belittles herself, since she will always be that flawless girl in my eyes."There are just too many things going on in my thoughts that are confusing me." Sierra sniffed and wiped her tears away

September 27, 2016I'm currently having dinner with my entire family at the dining table. Bryon returned home to tell our parents that he had passed his exam, and this dinner is a sort of celebration for him as well. For the first time, dad applauded him even when he wasn't smiling, while mom was overjoyed. I congratulated him as well, but it was the first and only statement I said to him, and we didn't say anything else to each other after that. He also still didn't inform Dad about my relationship with Sierra, as if he had forgotten about it, which is pretty weird, but I'm still relieved that he didn't. He will also return to the city tomorrow morning.It's six o'clock at night, and I left Sierra's place right after class since I didn't want mom and dad to worry why I was late if I lingered too long in her place. But I promised Sierra I'd return late at night

"Just stop! Stop!" When I opened my eyes and heard a banging noise, I saw mom's fist hit the table and scream so loudly. "Why do you have to aggravate matters, Arthur? Oh, how I wish we could have a peaceful meal just once! But you're continuously coming up with new ways to ruin us! I'm so tired of this!" She removed Bryon's hold on her shoulders and stood up. Dad also stood up, he looked so offended."What are you talking about? I'm likewise sick of trying to understand your children's idiocy, especially your youngest! Is it really my fault that every day that comes to us, he causes us a headache? I tried everything to understand him and even endure his actions, but you can see how he continues to insult me and abuse any chance I give him! And he has the arrogance to threaten me with a knife! If you still have the patience to put up with that demon, well, I don't!"

"Please, son, calm down and consider this sensibly. You can still change your mind about leaving. Even if your apology isn't genuine, you know your father will forgive you and allow you to stay here." When Mildred said that, I dropped my polo shirt on the bed that I should have put in my backpack out of disbelief. I fixed my eyes on her, and she took a fast step away."I apologize if I am interfering in your family matters, but as the person who has cared for and guided you since you were a child, I am deeply concerned about you and what will happen to you once you leave this house. Where are you going to live now? Archer, you're just a kid. You have no idea how horrible and cruel the actual world is, and you are unprepared—""How could I not be prepared, Mildred? I've always seen how horrible the world is since I was born. My father himself showed it to
