It had been three days since that awkward confession happened and guess what?
I told Mal about it and it seemed like she was more excited than me. Well of course, I felt a little excited because it was my first time being courted but I could not forget the fact that I'm not here to stay any longer. I'm a time ticking bomb, I could explode any moment.I am currently at school because it's Wednesday and we have a class schedule for certain subjects."Race, what are you thinking?" Killian asked, I faced him. We're here at the cafeteria eating lunch together. It was kinda awkward because most of the students eating were looking at us.Especially his ex-girlfriend along with her squad. If looks can kill then I probably would not last in eight months, I would be lying right now in my customized coffin."Nothing. It's just that everybody is staring at us" I simply told him.He told me the other day that his ex and him were a famous couple because they were both popular individuals. So I thought to myself, 'how is it possible that a popular guy on campus is courting me? And how could I get past the ex-couples fans and shippers?'
Geez.What have I gotten myself into?"Don't mind them. They're just a waste of time." He reassuringly said.He also told me the reason why they broke up. He said it was him who dumped her because he was apparently in love with someone else. I'm not assuming that it was me because we only met recently so I guess it's his first love or whatever. And another reason is that she cheated on him. She hooked up with his best friend for months.
Such a rude girl. She already has a boyfriend, why would she hook up with other guys? Also, whatever happened to the girl that he said he loves and was the reason for their break up?Tss. I just can't understand the relationship thingy."Sasha's also looking at us." I calmly said while eating my sandwich.He turned his head to face them. It used to be his squad but Sasha kinda brainwashed them so everybody left him and turned their side to Sasha.
I felt sorry for Killian. He must have been hurt when his best friend betrayed him and his other friends left him without even hearing him out. They are just the worst kind of people. So immature."Tss. She just wants the attention. Hurry up and finish your lunch. We have a lot of free time since I was informed that the teachers are having their general meeting, so they won't be able to meet us. Let's go somewhere and see someone" He happily answered.Now who could that be? He took me to his favorite place yesterday, and it was tremendous. The place was full of flowers, trees and most importantly it was away from people. No eyes were looking at us unlike today.
We stayed there the whole afternoon doing random stuff."Where are we off to?" I was so frantic that I hurriedly stood up.And he laughed at me. So embarrassing."Aren't you a bit excited? Are you done? Let's go now." He stood up as well and we both headed to the main door of the cafeteria to exit.Finally, I don't have to deal with their awfully killer stares.Walking."Killian, where's your car? Do we really have to walk?" As much as I like to exercise, I do exercise. My body is getting weaker everyday so I have to be more careful. I hope he did not notice that I'm sweating so much here."I want to enjoy this walk with you lazy bum" He did not turn his head to see me. I guess he really wants to walk. I have no choice. Might as well enjoy this walk with him."Don't worry, it won't be far." He added. I heaved a sigh. Thank God it was not that far.Holding hands while walking? Why not? Kidding. Nope, we're not doing that.After ten minutes of walking the streets, we finally arrived at Mal's house. Why didn't I notice that we were headed to this place?"Hey, what are we doing here? Why are we here?" I confusedly asked. He didn't answer. The door opened and Mal came out of the house.I hugged her tightly. It was really good to see her today, we've been very busy at school that's why we don't have time to visit each other."Hey, what are we doing here Killian?" I asked him because I really have no idea why we're here. And how does he know Mal? I mean there's social media but they're not really close or are they? How come I did not know?"Just wear this blindfold, Vey. It's a surprise" Mal answered my question and gave me a blindfold. What am I supposed to do with this? Obviously wear it, but why?"C'mon guys, is this really necessary?" They both nodded and that's my cue telling me I have no choice but to wear this silly blindfold.Dang it. What are these guys up to?"Let's go" Both of them guided me while I was walking because I can't see a thing but I can hear the doors opening.We passed through a lot of doors, wait where are we? Are we in the mad hatters hat? Why are there so many doors?I could also hear Mal's giggle. Looks like she was having fun with these things."You can get the blindfold off now" I heard Killian saying that. Thank goodness. I can finally see where they brought me to.I started taking off the blindfold and saw...Is this? How is this possible? Am I dreaming? Somebody pinch me. I could not believe that I was standing inside a recording studio.Did they do this for me? These guys are making me all teary."How did you do all of this?" I asked them. Killian held my hand and faced me. Mal just smiled behind him."You want to cover songs in a recording studio right?" He softly asked me. I smiled and nodded. Since I was a kid I wanna do this."Heiro and I made this. It was supposed to be a vacant room but I asked mom if it's alright if I make a recording studio and she agreed. Do you like it, Vey?" Mal excitedly said.I looked at the designs, the piano, the sound systems, all there is in a real recording studio. I can't believe it's really here.Although, I always wanted to record in a real studio with music producers and directors but their efforts are really...I can't explain it. It's unexplainable."We know it's not the exact studio with directors and producers..." Killian said but I did not let him finish his speech."Are you kidding me? I-I love it. This is really incredible you guys, I mean no words can e
Time flies so fast that I did not even notice it's the last week of August. I've been very busy also because Killian and I were assigned to sing an original country song in honor of the Language Month celebration this Friday.We've been practicing but most of the time having fun on the things that we're doing.Oh I have crazy news, our video having a duet went viral. Crazy right? I never thought it would be a hit and the cover of songs Mal gave to her step dad was a hit as well.Everytime I turn on the radio, I hear a lot of listeners texting the DJ to play my cover songs. How cool is that?"Race we need to do our last practice now in the theatre hall" Since then Killian and I have been inseparable. It's like our bodies are glued together. Everytime we have an activity that is done by a pair, we instantly stare at each other giving a signal.And now we are heading to the theatre hall together for practice. Mom and Dad
"Y-you don't know what happened." That was the only phrase she could say.Please, I thought this was a scary fight. Now I think I'm the bad girl here. Somebody give me a lioness, not a kitty cat."Maybe, but I do know that you're being desperate. He's never coming back to you so just move on. Go find another toy to play with. That's what you're good at right?" After I said that she slapped me again. Is that all she can do? No pulling of hair? Tearing of clothes? Throwing of high heels like I always see in the movies?"She's all yours. Do whatever you want with her" My heart skipped a beat. W-what? Is she going to leave me with these pervert looking guys?No. Please no."Go get the camera ready Gabe. This is going to be fun" He put on his evil smile. God help me. I don't want to die right now.Just close your eyes Veronika. This is all just a dream. A nightmare to be exact. Close your eyes and everything wi
Killian took me home safely yesterday. He told my parents what happened and that he was gonna take care of it. He also said that it would be best if I would be absent the whole day today but I insisted on going. I don't want to be absent because if I do, they would probably think that I'm scared of them and I will never give them that satisfaction until my last breath. I changed my clothes and got out of the house after eating my breakfast. I'm now riding a taxi on my way to the campus. After twenty minutes with a traffic delay I finally arrived at campus. I paid the driver my fare and got outside of his taxi. Walking alone, I always put my earphones on so I dont have to hear their nonsense gossip everyday. I mean why talk about something that isnt true or if it is true why waste your time on that? Time is too precious to waste. At least for me it is. I am still walking but I sensed something strange
Two weeks have passed since that fiasco. Everything went smoothly, after that talk we had with the Dean. She then met with the faculty about the case, and they decided to expel Sasha and her minions due to the embarrassment they had caused on campus.That exact night, the Dean, I mean, auntie, visited me at home, then she told us about their final decision. Fortunately for those three, I begged my auntie to change their decision because if they expelled them, no other campus would accept them. Their future will be ruined, and I don't want that to happen to them. I know they also have future plans in life that they want to achieve.She hesitated at first, but I didn't give up on as
"I don't want to watch movies anymore. Let's go to the garden." He took the tray that I was holding and headed straight to the garden. Wow. He could've at least waited for me, right? What a gentleman, indeed, Killian.Be thankful he helped you with the tray.I'm not talking to you anymore. I've had enough of you today.Both of us were walking towards a certain spot.I saw him sitting on the ground with a blanket and a basket. How d
"It's great to be with you on a day like this Mal" Sitting here in the park full of people and watching kids playing around makes me forget everything that is happening to me right now."I know right. So, how are you, my dearest Vey?" She asked me while eating her sweet corn. It is our favorite food to eat here aside from the street foods, I seldom eat street foods because the doctor told me so.She says it is bad for my health and it will only trigger more of my cancer cells. Of course we don't want that to happen. That is why we should obey the doctor and avoid the prohibited stuff, am I right or am I right?"I'm fine, nothing's changed. Well except for the part where my legs are becoming weak and I have a lot more bruises now than before...." I answered her half-heartedly.Yes, I am doing my best to feel good and be good. I don't want to become a nuisance, just seeing the people I love worrying about me makes me feel a b
Saturday, 6 PM."Sweetheart, are you sure you can go to that ball?" Mum worriedly asked.Since this morning I really felt sick. I was vomiting inside my comfort room for half an hour. I don't know but I think my condition got worse. And it had to be this day of all the days."Yeah mum. Nothing to worry about. Mal is going with me but I'll give you a call if something comes up, okay?" I told her that and then kissed her goodbye.Waiting outside was our ride. Mal's already inside the rolls so I rushed walking to get inside. I was stunned the moment I got inside the car, it was astonishing. I mean, this has got to be the best car I have ridden on."Woah. What's with the bag Vey? Is something wrong?" Mal asked. I shook my head telling her nothing was wrong. I don't want to ruin the night.As to what that anonymous guy instructed in the letter. I wore my navy blue tube dress with a pretty necklace that has a V
