The Charmer and the Beast 12. The New Follower
It's really true that time flies by so fast when you're enjoying it. I was excited for the weekend but it seemed like it didn't last long. I saw my family and got to spend time with them the entire weekend. We roamed around the City. While Mom and Dad were taking a rest, my sisters and I went coffee shop hunting. We went to different coffee shops and tried their signature coffees. It was so fun. I had a lot of caffeine that day. It felt like heaven.But as they say, all good things must come to an end. The weekend was over. Now I'm back to my room, alone and lonely. My family just dropped me off here and hurried back home. Dahlia and Hyacinth still have classes tomorrow early, and my parents have work as well.Come to think of it, I forgot to ask Mom about
The Charmer and the Beast 13. The Points Taken
I used to think that being pursued is something romantic. I thought it would feel nice when a guy does everything to get the girl of his dreams. I thought I wanted a guy who would cross rivers and swim oceans to get a 'yes' from me.But maybe, that's just what I think. Maybe all the romance books I've read gave me too much expectations. And maybe I shouldn't try to find someone to reach that expectation. Because in reality? Everything sucks and not everything is as good as you think it is.And the things Flint is doing just to get my attention? Not that appealing. In fact, I find it annoying.I'm not sure wh
The Charmer and the Beast 14. The Distracted and Pissed
The following day was clear. There was no Flint who was following or chasing me. No one annoyed me in ways I cannot explain. I don't know if he's just busy or he got tired of chasing me. Either way, that's fine for me. At least I don't feel like hiding myself every time.But somehow it felt weird. It's weird that I felt weird without having him around. I should be happy and at peace, but...No.Nope.I don't feel anything.I shook my head continuously until I felt dizzy. God, what is wrong with me?"Are you okay?" Sean asked. We're currently in the common area in our dorm. We decided to meet so we could share the notes we had taken during our class on one of our major subjects. We'll have a quiz on Friday and even if it's just Tuesday, I have already started my review. This way, I'll have more time to absorb all that we discussed in class. Also, I would not feel the need to cram. And guess what, I think I have a great influence on Sean. Because he's here with me, also studying even if
The Charmer and the Beast 15. The Confrontation
I never had a fight with anyone. When I was a kid, I remember being bullied because I was so petite. But I never fought back. Growing up, I wished I should've just fought those guys who looked down on me. I realized my fear of socializing stemmed from that experience. And now, I don't want to ever experience the same thing.I may be quiet and hate talking to a lot of people, but I can say I am a decent human being. And it hurts to think that no matter how good you are to people, that cannot stop them from being assholes towards you.Now I am left with nothing but the urge to confront each and every classmate who throws those kinds of looks at me.I stood up from my seat and approached Amy's table. I could hear Sean following me. He even tried to calm me down, but this is just enough. I cannot take this treatment I am getting from these people.She was so brave earlier, scoffing and ugly looking at me. But now that I am right in front of her to confront her, she suddenly looks so scare
The Charmer and the Beast 16. The Stare
With a determined mind, I walked faster towards Flint. I think he’s still oblivious of my presence. He’s busy talking and laughing with his friends, who, by the way, are unfamiliar. But what the hell, I'm determined here. This needs to stop.I could feel Sean still tailing me. I didn't ask him to be here, but he's still here. Well, at least I did not force him to be here.I stood in front of Flint and his friends. When he saw me, I saw him suppressing a grin. His friends, on the other hand, are looking and checking on me. It kind of made me feel uncomfortable, so I quickly looked back at him.He looked at me with that usual facial expression he always wears whenever he's looking at me. I'm not an expert at knowing what kind of looks they are, so I just shrugged it off my mind."May I speak with you?" I asked, directing it to Flint. I don't want his friends to think they're involved or something. I need to speak to him in private because I know I'm not capable of talking to a lot of pe
The Charmer and the Beast 17. The Table
"Good morning," Taylor greeted, smilingly. I just woke up and am now still sitting on my bed. It's Friday, which made me excited for the weekend because I'm coming home. My parents will be out of town for a work thing. Dahlia and Hyacinth will be left home, so I also volunteered to go home. I don't have many school loads, so I think it's fine."Morning," I greeted back. I finally decided to stand up and get my shower caddy. It's already past 10 am. My professors for my first two classes weren't around so we didn't have class earlier. My first class for the day will be later after lunch.I took my towel and hurried to the bathroom. It wasn't that full because it was already quite late.I don't know if it is just me, but whenever I'm in the shower, I also do multi-tasks. While doing my thing in the shower, my mind also wonders wherever. This is one of the times I get to think about things. I know it's weird, but sometimes I make life-changing decisions when I'm in the shower.Just like
The Charmer and the Beast 18. The Weekly Mirror
I had to stop myself from strangling Flint. Actually, it took a lot of strength not to punch him in the face. Since I told him to stop, he really did stop. I was not expecting him to become even worse now that he's being annoying again. I should probably take a lot of patience with me everyday. That encounter with Flint really messed up my mood. His mere presence is really enough to stir the bitch in me. Not to add his annoying words that kept ringing in my head. Ugh. I'm not really sure where this hate is coming from. I don't like guys that much but I sure don't hate them like how I hate Flint. It's just really frustrating how he makes me feel inferior or something. I hate feeling like this. But no. I shouldn't let this get in my head. I have classes and an Editor-in-Chief to approach. I shouldn't be too affected. But really, how can I ever repel Flint's presence? If there is something that can shield me from seeing his annoying face and hearing his annoying voice, I would gladl
The Charmer and the Beast 19. The Smile
Of all the people I have to see, I never expected it to be Flint. Never in the world did I think he's some guy who's into writing or whatever. It was never in his aura! I stood there, still frozen and so was he. It has been seconds but all I could do was stare. I still can't believe he's here. I've always seen Flint as someone who only knows games, fun, and stuff like that. I never pictured him to be part of something so serious. I'd like to slap myself. Maybe I'm just dreaming. But the noise coming from the office is proof this is not a dream, that this is reality. "You're part of the Weekly Mirror?" I asked, my brows furrowing. I bet it was evident on my face that I cannot believe he's here. Seriously, can he blame me? It was like he was awakened from a trance or something. He just stared at me for a while, which is really weird. He then shook his head and cleared his throat. "Is it that hard to believe?" "Yeah," I replied quickly. He chuckled as he opened the door widely. "I
