CASSANDRA's POV
"What took Steph so long?" Sab asked while looking at the entrance door of the cafeteria."I already sent her a message. Let us just wait for her. She might on her way." I say."Oh, right. Von told me the reason why they fought with the seniors yesterday.""Really? What is the reason? Tell me." I asked, eagerly."They made a bet. If the seniors won, Khai and Von will leave the team. But when Khai and Von won, the seniors will stop bothering them and have to accept their participation in the team.""So, does that mean...""Right. There will be no seniors who will bother them from now on." She giggles.I finally breathe in relief. "Thank goodness.""Yeah. I don't have to worry about my boyfriend from now on." She laughs a little."Right," I say, giggling.After a while, Von and Khai go back to our place, bringing trays that have a portion of food. They place the tray on the table and siKHAI's POVThe bell for the next class rang. Before heading to the classroom, I go to the comfort room to pee, Von is with me.Turning on the faucet, I wash my hands. Von did the same. But I noticed that he is acting strange right now. I mean, he keeps on looking at me as if he has something to tell or maybe to ask me."What is it? Tell me. No, ask me." I say as I turn off the faucet."What?" He pretends to be confused.I look at him. "Come on, what is it? Or should I say, what do you want to know?" I ask him again.He turns off the faucet, takes a sigh. "So, I got caught. Well, I just want to confirm something. Do you like her? I mean, Cassandra. Do you like her? I know you have a girlfriend but...""Yeah. I still like her." I cut his line.He was shocked at what I said."What? Can you repeat what did you just say?"
~*~My phone keeps vibrating because of Khai's messages and I keep on ignoring them. It is not that I am upset, mad, or angry with him, but I am... with myself. Yes. I am bad at Math and I will be forever bad in this subject. And I hate myself because of me, because of my dumbness, I put Khai in trouble. [FLASHBACK] "How are you going to explain this Cassandra?" The principal asks me in a serious tone of her voice, looking at me intensely than at Khai. "Why did you give her your paper, Khai?"My body is shivering in nervousness and fear. Oh my god. This is all because of me. I was not able to answer my answer sheet so Khai had to give me his paper, and unfortunately, the teacher caught us, and she reported us to the principal immediately. And now I know all of our classmates are bad mouthing me because of what I did, putting Khai
I thought we are going to the restaurant but no. Instead, Khai brought me to his condo unit. I did not know he got a condo. "Drink this first while waiting for the food." Khai hands me a glass of water as he sits down on the other sofa, across to me. "Thanks," I say as I took the glass and take a drink. "So, when did you get a condo?" I ask him. I was curious since we got here. "Yesterday.""Yesterday? So, you just moved in?""Yeah." He nods his head. "I was having a hard time traveling every morning going to school so I decided to..." He wasn't able to continue his sentence because his phone suddenly rings. He looks just at it and ignores the call. Who could that be? Could it be... It was Vivian who called him? Possibly. "So, I decided to get a condo near the school so it would be convenient for me." He continued what he had to say. "Oh, I see," I reply. After a while, the food he ordered for dinner arriv
"Cali? Cali? Are you still awake?""Maybe not.""Good night, Cali. Sweet dreams. I love you."I wake up catching my breath, looking in Khai's direction. It was a dream. Damn, I thought it was real. I let out a deep breath and stretches my arms. Then, I slowly got up from the bed and check the time. 5:30 AM. Oh my god, I need to go home before Steph could leave the house.I carefully walked out of the room so I can't disturb Khai from his tight sleeping, then I went straight to the bathroom to change my clothes. After changing, I get my bag on the sofa and leave his condo.On my way to the elevator, I get my phone, turn it on and I immediately texted Sab to remind her that she should cover me up to Steph later. Just in case, she forgot my favor.The elevator door opened instantly when I got to the ground floor. Walking out, I head straight out of the buildi
All eyes of the students who are passing by in the corridor are on me because my skirt is all wet in front. It embarrasses me because they might think that I pee on my skirt. But fortunately, my skirt is not see-through.But, where should I get an extra skirt? In the admin office? But I need to pay if I will get an extra skirt. Argh. Should I go back to Vanessa and get her extra skirt?No. You shouldn't, Cass. You shouldn't. If you did, goodness, Khai will think that she is nice. I mean, everybody will think that. So, you pay for an extra skirt instead.Argh.I stop walking when I saw Khai from a distance, he is walking towards me. When he is finally standing in front of me, he looks at my wet skirt, then goes back to my eyes."Let's go." He says as he holds my hand and drags me away."Hey, wait, what are you doing? Where are we going?" I ask him in confusion
[FAST FORWARD]"Cass, are you okay?"I go back to my senses when Steph raised a question at me. Our class for this day has ended and we are currently walking to the school parking lot. Sab, on the other hand, goes to the soccer field to watch Von's practice, also to wait for Von so they can go home together. Khai? I won't mention him. After what happened to us earlier, no, after what he did to me earlier, I am angry with him. Totally angry with him.He kissed me. What was that for? Why did he do that? Is he crazy? He is in a relationship. How could he do that? Those are some of the questions that are bothering my mind right from earlier until now. Moreover, what he did to me confused me a lot. And I really hate him."Nothing," I respond to Steph, sighing."You are not." She insisted."Nothing, really. I'm just a little bit..."
"Khai... Don't go. Don't leave me... Please."I look closer at her face and saw a droplet of tears flowing on her cheek.Is she crying?"Hey, Cass? Cass, wake up." I carefully poked her shoulder, calling her name in a lower tone of my voice. She moved her body, and slowly open her eyes."Hey, it's time for dinner."---CASSANDRA's POVMy tears continue flowing, while I am holding his hands tightly. His uniform is full of blood. "Stay awake, please. Stay awake." I whisper, begging him to not close his eyes. He gasps, trying to utter a word but I stop him. Seeing his eyes open is enough for me. "Just stay awake, Khai. Okay? Just stay awake? We are near to the hospital. So, please, stay awake." I keep on begging him. He st
ALEX's POVI throw my bag on the sofa when I got home, take off my shoes, and walk upstairs, head straight to my room. Sitting on my bed, I get the phone in my pocket and dial my mother's number. For sure, she's worried about me now because I didn't contact her these days.Her phone rings and within a second she picked up."Hello?" I smile when I heard my mother's soft, calm, and sweet voice on the other line."Mum, it's me. Alex." I say."Alex?""Yes, mum. I'm sorry, I haven't contacted you these days. I was kind of busy." I lied. I don't have my phone in me these days."Yes, I know. Don't worry. It's okay."I sigh out in relief. "Thank you, mum."Luckily, my mother is very understanding."Wait, why you did
