The days passed like leaves transitioning from green to a yellowish color under the sun shining upon them. In this moment, caught between a dream-like state and a moment for two, the dark-haired and the brunette found themselves enjoying each other's company with laughter and kisses."Tom, enough!" she pleaded amidst laughter. "You devil," she said as she managed to break free from his grasp and saw the feigned look of offense on his face. "Stop it already!" she shouted as he once again had her in his grip, tickling her. She fell onto the bed, with him on top, straddling her. "That's enough, Tommy!" she laughed, tears escaping her eyes."Only if you give me a kiss," he requested, his face close to hers. "Katherina..."The brunette gazed into those eyes she adored, licked her lips, and gave him a deep kiss that quickly turned passionate. She sucked on his lip slowly, and in a swift motion, Tom was in his place with her on top. They continued in that kiss until Katherina moved her lips
"All right, everyone to your places," the philosophy teacher requested as both grades gathered in his classroom for the singing contest. Because today, today was the day for the performances. As the classroom settled into their seats, he took the microphone and introduced each of the contestants. "I hope you all support your classmates today and maintain order," he said in front of everyone. "Today is a great day to discover new talents, to enjoy and support." The classroom buzzed with excitement. "In 10 minutes, it will all begin," he added finally, and he made his way to where the other teachers were at the back of the room.All the participants were excited, while others were nervous. Among them was a certain brunette who was praying to heaven that everything would go well and not disappoint anyone, especially a certain dark-haired boy."Relax," she said as she approached him, patting his shoulder. "You'll do great.""Thank you, Jisoo," she hugged him for the encouragement. "I hope
"Before I begin to sing, I want to say a few words," she said. "Everyone here has seen, witnessed how I have changed, how I have changed with someone who used to only want to kill." The classroom laughed; they already knew who she was talking about. "That feeling just shifted one night after so many things, without me even realizing it, just on a piece of paper, several, to be honest," she chuckled. "I wrote down what, after reading it over and over again, were feelings that that guy over there," she pointed at Tom, "makes me feel, that make themselves known, that fill me up. Those feelings that I thought I would never feel towards him, but now I only feel them. And you know what? I don't regret it. That guy is a great guy, a great person who has been there for me no matter what. That guy who I know feels the same way I do. And what do I feel? I feel nothing but a deep love for him. I love you so much, Tom," she confessed, looking at him, noticing the teary eyes in him, and he just si
There he was, watching as the girl he saw as his best friend walked to her car, humming and with a radiant smile on her face, brighter than he could remember. It was clear from a distance that she was happy, and he understood why. She had skipped classes consistently after the contest, just like he did, which now only fueled his anger. They must have had their secret moments without any problems. He stood by his Cadillac, contemplating whether to approach her or simply not take away that beautiful smile from her. He paced back and forth, debating what the hell to do until he finally let out a sigh and a whistle, deciding what he felt was right. Without hesitation, he called her, and she ran towards him, patting his shoulder."What's up, Hazza?" she asked, smiling."Why are you so happy?" he inquired."Well... because... love has me like this," she laughed, and Harrison tried to do the same. His face reflected nervousness and internal struggle. "Tom... it's just driving me crazy," she
I had never felt something like this beforeLife had always kept me at peaceYou came and opened the doors of painAnd gifted me with solitudeYour poison tainted my heartLeaving it in complete darknessAnd instead of forgetting youI ended up loving you even moreAnd now you're hereWatching me sufferTell me, how should I go about forgettingYour kisses and erasing you foreverFrom myselfFrom myselfFrom myselfFrom myselfI knew it the moment I saw youLoving you was going to hurt me deeplyBut I looked at you again and understoodThat I would go with you until the endAnd now you're hereWatching me sufferTell me, how should I go about forgettingYour kisses and erasing your nameFrom myselfFrom myselfFrom myselfFrom myselfI tried to distance myselfNot think about you anymore, not think about you anymoreIt hurt me to give myself to youLike I never did beforeFrom myselfFrom myselfFrom myselfFrom myself...She felt that every part of her heart was slowly sinking into a
"Let go of me, Belinda. I want to go to Tom. I need to hear what he has to say."That's not right, look at yourself, Katherina."I don't care how I look, I need to talk to Tom."You're only going to hurt yourself more, Katherina."I don't care!For a moment, Belinda managed to hold onto her as they left the house. But now, at this very moment when the clock struck past midnight, she couldn't hold onto her anymore. Katherina easily broke free, not caring about anything. She had gone far away from her, and when she turned around and saw Paddy and Harry, she knew there was nothing more she could do."Let her go," Harry said to Belinda. "Whether we like it or not... Whatever is meant to happen, will happen." He hugged her, as did his younger brother, and they turned to go back to the brunette's house. Harry was deeply saddened by what his brother had done. All of this was disappointing. All of this was painful...----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The dawn was cold, and sunrise was approaching. Both Belinda and Jisoo were still staring at their phones, waiting for their friend Katherina to respond to their messages. They were worried, distressed. Their best friend, after letting her go to Tom's house to confront everything, hadn't returned, and they hadn't heard anything from her. She didn't reply to messages or calls from her other friends. It was as if she had gone far away, as if she didn't want to be near.Jisoo, who was still trying to call the brunette, felt a slight weight on her right shoulder. It was Belinda, leaning on her, and she told her that Katherina wasn't responding, and the others—Katherina's friends—said the same."Where could she be?" Carlos wondered, stirring his herbal tea, trying to stay calm. "I'm worried, it's already very late.""Too late," Belinda said, not letting up. "It's not the time for her to be out.""I agree, but poor her," Bam said, dropping onto the black sofa in Star's living room. "She mus
It was ten o'clock in the morning the next day. The morning was unusually warm for winter time. Clara, who woke up early, gently called the kids who were sleeping in the Star's living room, and as they woke up, she greeted them and they returned the greetings.Clara led them to the kitchen and prepared some coffee and tea, along with a somewhat neutral breakfast due to the events of last night."Katherina... Did you have the tea?" Iu asked, sitting with the others on the cedar stools around the table."After 5 attempts, she drank it," replied Clara with a chuckle, serving coffee. "She... will be fine.""It hurts to see her like this," Bam spoke, helping set the plates. "I've never seen her drunk in my life.""She only does it when she can't take it anymore," Belinda said, knowing her well. "Would you like some coffee?" she asked Harry and Harrison, who didn't say anything, unable to look at Clara, let alone Idris, who was coming downstairs. "Good morning, sir.""Not so good," he said,
