ALEX's POV
I 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

"Because I love you,""What?" I furrowed my forehead. "What did you say?""I love you," he repeated, and it makes me laughs in sarcasm, while I wipe my tears."You love me?" I scoffed. "That's off funny. So, you know how to joke right now, huh. That's cool." I sarcastically say."I am not joking, Cali. I am telling you the truth. I love you. I still do—"I slap him again. He grunts because of pain. I don't care if his face is painful. I am angry."You do? You still do? How is that possible, huh!?"He looks at me. Tears are also visible in his eyes. "It's possible because it never changes. My feelings for you never change, Cali.""So, you're cheating on Vivian?""No. I'm not. Okay. This is the thing that you need to know.

@MONDAY Our class ended this morning, and Steph and I are here in the school cafeteria eating lunch. Khai is not here yet. He did not attend our class this morning, but he will be attending this afternoon."Where is he now?" Steph asks me in the middle of her eating."He is on his way. Let us wait for him." I answer."Oh, okay. But why he didn't attend the morning class?""I don't know either. He didn't tell me." "Did you asked him?""Uh, nope. I did not.""Idiot. How can you know the reason? You didn't even ask him.""Well, I think it is not necessary to ask him about the reason why. It may be personal or what, so, I don't want to intervene.""Wow, wow, wow! Cassandra, is that you?" "Wh
CASSANDRA's POV"What do you want to talk about?" I ask Vanessa when we got to the school backyard, where no one else but only the two of us."Have a seat first," she invited me to sit on the wooden long chair beneath the pine tree."Thanks," I say as I sit down next to her."The truth is, I wanted to say sorry to you and the others." She started."For what?" I look at her, bewildered."For what happened about your friend, Khai."I gasp silently. Oh, right. She the reason why it happened."Zion is my ex-boyfriend. After our one year and a half relationship, we broke up because he cheated on me. And now, he wants me back." She says, letting a deep sigh. There is no trace of sadness that can be seen in her face but rather disturbed as if she is thinking about how to get rid of her ex-boyfriend.Her situatio
CASSANDRA's POVThe day ended quickly. In our whole classes in the afternoon, Khai did not attend. Probably because of what happened. To be honest, I feel guilty for what I did to him and for what I said, but, yeah he cannot blame me. As much as I wanted not to get angry with him, I cannot. Because every time I remember what he did to me in the past, it makes me want to beat him, in that way I can make him feel what he made me feel before.Particularly when I found out his reasons after three years — why he choose her over. I was even angrier with him. It's really funny."Have you chose a song yet?" Steph raises a question as she sits on the sofa, placing the bowl that has a chip, then she took the remote to turn on the TV. We are in the lounge area, and I am searching for the song that we will be going to perform tomorrow in our music class."Not yet. I'm trying to find
THE NEXT MORNING. CASSANDRA's POVI was walking in the lobby, leading the way back to our room section when I met Vanessa. It's her again. "Hey, Cass!" She greets me with a bright smile. She looks so blooming today, huh? What happened? "Hey," I greet her back. "Are you going to class?""Uh, yes. Why?""Great! Can you give this to Khai?" She hands me a paper bag. "It's a sandwich. I made for it him. I did not catch up with him when I wake up, so, I'll give it to you to give it to him. Can you?"What did she say? She did not catch up with him when she wakes up? Is she saying that she sleepover at Khai's place? "Did you sleep at his place?" I can't help but raise a question. She chuckles, "yeah, I did. Actually, I did not want to because you know it's awkward since Khai is a guy and I'm a girl, but he insisted. Keep this a secret. Okay? I'm going. I'll see you guys later." She says with a sweet smile th
