Chapter 7: Purely Platonic

Eliana Maxine

Psalm? Liking me? Now that was just ridiculous.

I’ve known him since junior high—way before I met the girls. If there was anyone on this planet who truly knew him, it was me.

And trust me, I definitely knew his type.

Tall. Sexy. Bold. Outgoing.

I’d seen him date one girl after another, and they all fit the same mold. Confident. Flirty. The kind of girls who could turn heads the moment they walked into a room.

Me? I wasn’t that.

I mean, I wasn’t exactly shy, but I wasn’t naturally magnetic either. I’d take a quiet night with a book over a wild party any day. Sure, I could flirt, and I could hold my own in playful banter, but I wasn’t some effortlessly charming social butterfly.

Despite growing up in a liberated country, I wasn’t exactly outgoing. Not in the way those other girls were. I was a little reserved, mostly because Aunt George never missed a chance to remind me how a proper Filipina woman should behave.

I never even had a boyfriend yet

    Chapter 8: FavorEliana MaxineIt’s been almost four days since our sleepover at Mica’s place, and now, I’m on a mission.I’m sitting cross-legged on my bed, laptop balanced on my thighs, scrolling through job listings with a deep frown on my face. Aunt George’s 36th birthday is coming up next month, and I’m determined to buy her something special.She’s not just family to me—she was my everything.After my mom passed away when I was eight, and with no dad in the picture because the pathetic excuse of a man ran the second he found out my mom was pregnant, it was Aunt George who stepped up without hesitation. She raised me like her own.Sure, I still have my grandparents back in the Philippines, but here, in this country, Aunt George is all I have. My only family. My rock.So for her 36th birthday, I wanted to show her just how much she meant to me. There’s no way I’m using the allowance she gives me to buy her gift. That would defeat the whole point. It wouldn’t mean anything if the m

    Chapter 6: DenseEliana Maxine“Anyway, enough about me. What’s everyone doing this summer?” Mica asked, stretching her legs out on the carpet.I let out a dramatic sigh and flopped back onto the cushions. “Mine’s going to be absolutely thrilling. I’ll be home, binge-watching K-dramas and reading books all summer long.”Cassie snorted. “Of course you will.”Gladz grinned, nudging my foot playfully with hers. “At least you’re consistent.”Cassie looked at me with a smirk. “Why don’t you come bar-hopping with me sometime? There’s a ton of hotties out there, you’d love it!”I grinned. “Should I?”“As if, girl!” Gladz cut in before I could entertain the thought. “You still have a curfew.”The three of them burst out laughing, and I just rolled my eyes. “Whatever. Just wait till I turn twenty. I swear I’ll crawl through every single bar in this city.”Cassie laughed. “Can’t wait for that, girl.”“You stick with your K-dramas and books for now,” Mica teased.I perked up. “Oh! Speaking of K-

    Chapter 5: Date For Hire Eliana Maxine“So?” Cassie prompted, popping another strawberry into her mouth. “Are you gonna tell us where all this money came from, or do we have to torture it out of you?”Gladz nodded, her brows raised in curiosity. “Yeah, are we talking legal money, or are you making shady deals on the side?”Cassie leaned forward, eyes gleaming. “Is it drugs? Did you finally start that underground empire we always joked about? Be honest.”Mica groaned, rolling her eyes. “You wish.”Cassie smirked. “A little.”I narrowed my eyes at her. “Mica.”She sighed, grabbing another grape from the fruit tray and tossing it into her mouth like this was no big deal. “Fine. But if I tell you, you guys have to promise not to freak out.”Cassie gasped dramatically, clutching my arm. “Oh my God. It is a sugar daddy.”Mica didn’t even hesitate—she grabbed the nearest throw pillow and smacked Cassie with it.Cassie yelped, laughing. “Alright! Chill! Just spill already!”Mica sighed drama

    Chapter 4: Sugar DaddyEliana MaxineThe three of us walked into Mica’s apartment building without issue. The security guard at the front desk didn’t even blink at us and just gave a lazy nod before going back to his phone. After all the times we’d been here, we were practically invisible to him by now.Cassie flipped her hair dramatically as we stepped into the elevator. “See? We’re basically VIPs here.”I let out a short laugh. “Right. Because nothing says VIP like being ignored.”Gladz smirked beside me. “Still better than being stopped at the entrance every damn time. That’s got to count for something.”Cassie leaned against the elevator wall with a theatrical sigh. “I mean, at this point, Mica should just give us our own keys.”I snorted. “Yeah, and you’d abuse that power in record time.”She gasped, clutching her chest like I’d wounded her. “Excuse you! I am a responsible adult.” Then she paused and grinned. “Okay, yeah, I totally would.”When the elevator doors opened on Mica’s

    Chapter 3: BigEliana MaxineI had just finished eating lunch and was back in my room, curled up in bed and finally diving back into the novel I’d been obsessing over. I barely made it through two pages when my phone vibrated on the nightstand beside me.I groaned softly. What now? Couldn’t I just have a moment of peace? What was it with today and all these interruptions?I considered ignoring it, hoping whoever it was would get the hint. But then—Bzzzt! Bzzzt!Another buzz.Persistent much?With an exaggerated sigh, I reached for my phone and squinted at the screen.2 New Messages — Hot BratzI rolled my eyes. Seriously? Did Cassie rename the group chat again? That girl had this chaotic habit of renaming our GC every other week depending on her mood, or her latest drama.I tapped the notification, already bracing myself for the nonsense.Micaela: Hey losers!Micaela: How have y’all been? Still alive?I barely had time to process Mica’s messages before my screen lit up with an incomi
