Emily's POV;When I entered the house, I saw Mr Hamilton on a couch drinking his coffee. With smiles all over my face, I walked to him and said, "Thanks." he placed his coffee on the table in front of him and asked, "What are you thanking me for?" I took a seat across from him and said, "The seminar was completed very well. Mr Johnson has praised the work and gave points to us which is why I'm thanking you in return. I'm so happy because Mr Johnson always scolds me for not being punctual even if I submit his assignment on the day of submission. He says that i delayed the time and scolds me for it. After receiving only scoldings from him, I was really happy to get praised by him.""What did I did to thank me?""You gave me important points which I used for the assignment."i sighed and said, "While you're struggling to reach the shore, I just threw the floating bubble. It's you who paddled against the waves to reach the shore. Your effort. Your victory.""If you didn't throw the float
Emily's POV:While I was thinking about Madison, someone put their hand over my shoulder but I was more concentrated on how to console Madison. When they poke my cheeks, I lifted my head to see who it was. it's Sarah."Hey, what are you doing?""I'm coming with you." "Where?""Till the entrance.""Whatever."She poked my cheeks again and asked, "Why do you look so down?" "Madison asked me to hangout with her for shopping this weekend. On the other hand, Carter asked me to play the match.""Then who are you going to ditch now?" "I can't miss the match. At the same time, I don't want to get Madison mad at me.""Is this what you're thinking about? Leave it to me. I'll take care of it.""How are you going to do that? Are you going to play instead of me?" He gave me a flick on my forehead and said, "Do I look like someone who hop around and chase others for the ball? I'll go with Madison for shopping and you go to the match. How does that sound now?" "Don't you have anything to do this
Emily's POV;Madison gave me an intense stare whenever I looked at her in the cafeteria. I know what it is, so I'm not going to ask and risk being chastised by her. "Who are you going to pick up for the next seminar?" Luke inquired."That's up to the teachers, right?" I said."This time, Ms. Kwon asked us to choose the partner of our choice," Sarah explained."Oh, I didn't know that." When I turned to ask Madison, I anticipated the outcome, so I asked the rest of the gang, "Who has who in mind for the seminar then?"Carter explained, "I'm doing it with Dylan." Sarah, "I'm siding with Madison." "Then we're partners again," I said as I shook Luke's hand. "So, who is in charge of the assignment and presentation this time?""Talk about it later when you're two alone," Carter said. "Now, let's talk about the upcoming Halloween party.""I completely forgot about that." "When will it be?" "On Friday. I know how much you enjoy Halloween. Don't cancel the match the next day, claiming that y
Emily's POV;When I arrived at Mr Hamilton's house, I saw him on the couch, reading a book and sipping his coffee. He doesn't usually drink coffee at this time of day. So, what made him do it? Mr Hamilton does not have a complicated schedule to remember. He gets up earlier, has a vegetable salad for breakfast, and then goes to work. And then he comes home for lunch, stays to do his work, eats dinner, and goes to bed at 9 p.m. He began eating with me after I stated that I did not want to eat alone. Hold on, did he ended up drinking coffee after waiting for me? I should have informed him before going to Keith's house. I approached him, took a seat next to him, and asked, "Mr Hamilton, since Halloween is just around the corner. What character did you decide to dress up as?" He looked at me and said, "I don't wear anything." what's with this expression? Was he upset with me because I was late? "Are you going to be naked then?" I teased, smiling to myself.He choked on his coffee and th
Emily's POV;At the university, When I entered the class, I saw that people were discussing something in a group. I think it's about today's Halloween party. Sara touched my shoulder making me look at her. She asked, "I heard you bought a Halloween costume. Did you bring it? Where is it? Can I see that?""I kept it in my locker before coming here. By the way, where are they planning to have the Halloween party?" "On the basketball court. Didn't Madison tell you? I told her yesterday when I got the message from the student council." I looked around the classroom and asked Sara, "Where's Madison?" "She went to help others who's decorating the basketball court." "Don't we have class today? How did the teachers allow them to do it now?" "The student union requested permission from the principal in advance. Wait, don't say she forgot to tell you about the Jack o'lantern show either." When I smiled and said that Madison hadn't forgotten, Luke interrupted and asked Sarah, "Can I borro
Emily's POV;When I opened my eyes, I was in Mr Hamilton's room. My head felt heavy. Wasn't I in college? How did I get here? As I looked around the room, I saw Mr. Hamilton sitting on the desk looking at his laptop. "Mr. Hamilton?" He got up from the table and walked over to me and asked, "Would you like some water?" I shook my head and asked, "What time is it?" "It's three o'clock." So it's still Friday. I tried to remember what happened in university. The Jacko lantern stage play with Luke. After that… C-Colton? How is he still alive? Is that even possible? Or was I imagining him since I was drunk? No, I bumped into him in the cafeteria that morning. Not an imagination. But how is he alive? Didn't he die?"Why are you sweating all of a sudden?" "I-I…"He held my cheek and asked, "Are you okay?" Who brought me here? Either Keith or… "How did I get here?" I asked. "Sarah called me and said you were drunk, so I picked you up at the university." At the University? Has Mr.
Emily's POV;I laid on the bed and covered the sheets over my head to go to sleep. I felt the bed shake a little when Mr Hamilton laid beside me. I heard his breathing slow down as well, signalling he was asleep. I lay there in silence for awhile before getting up. I walked over to the window, where I leaned against it looking out at nothing. The night sky was black as pitch but bright moonlight illuminated everything around me. A slight breeze blew past me and my hair moved slightly with it. I closed my eyes, feeling myself start to drift off. Mr Hamilton was being nice to me even though we didn't talked that much. But i was rude to him today by reminding the contract and blabbering about a job. He didn't talk to me after i said that. Did i make him upset? Why does this bother me so much? It doesn't matter. Mr Hamilton is just a guy with whom i have to be with another two years. After two years, we'll go in our seperate ways. Maybe i can meet people who will like me more than h
Emily's POV;I was woken up by the alarm sound from my phone. After turning it off, I looked beside me, Mr Hamilton wasn't there like always. I don't know why but i wanted to see Mr Hamilton by my side when i woke up someday. Waking up to the empty bed kinda feels kinda lonely. After tying up my hair high, I got up from the bed to take a shower. When I came out, Mary kept the milk on the table. (Mary - one of the maids who work in Mr Hamilton's house during the weekends)I asked Mary, "Did Mr Hamilton leave for work?" "No, mam.""Where is he then?""I saw him working in his office when I went to give him coffee.""Did he eat breakfast?" I asked while drying my hair."No, mam.""Thank you. You can leave now."After she left, I walked to the window and saw the garden where the workers were clearing up the dried leaves. Some were removing the weeds and some were planting new plants. Among the workers, I spotted Henry. He was saying something to the workers. After drinking my milk, I
