Unspoken Vows

ONE thing that Kassandra "Kace" Larson learned in life was to never trust her brother in cooking. Seeing the over six-foot tall guy attempt to flip the egg on the pan infront of her triggered something inside her, but she just let him do his thing as she fixed her long dark hair up in a bun.“We should’ve just ordered something outside, brother,” she commented, not even disguising her lack of excitement for the breakfast.“Don’t even try to comment Kace ‘cause you’re far worse than I am.” Her older brother, Kristoff would always insist to cook, and yet he never made a decent meal ever.Kace nodded in agreement. “Yeah, well you’re not wrong about that. Let’s just grab something to eat while on the way to school, then.”Kris heaved a sigh. “Fine.” Even though Kris wasn’t her full-blooded brother, she appreciated the fact that he would always visit her, despite knowing how much hatred their stepdad had for her. She didn’t want Kris to be stuck in the middle between her and his dad. But,

CHEM Lab started after the fateful event in the cafeteria. Apparently, everyone in their class saw what happened, which made Kace feel more horrible. She was greatly affected about what happened. Her friends tried to cheer her up, but they didn’t succeed. Chester glanced at Brandon, who looked at Nix who just shrugged her shoulders. “What do we do?” Brandon mouthed his words in silence.Chester lifted his chin and gestured Nix to move towards their friend. “Talk to her,” he whispered.Nix hesitated at first. But she decided to follow him so she stood up and slowly walked over towards Kace’s table. Their professor was busy reading something on his desk so he didn’t notice her standing up from her seat.Kace was busy focusing her microscope so she got startled when she heard her bestfriend beside her speak. “Kace, are you all right?”She nodded without looking at her.“Are you sure?”“Yeah,” she answered quietly.“Don’t think about it too much. Jules is a bitc-“ Before she could even

ANOTHER day meant a chance to redeem herself from the embarrassment that happened to her yesterday. Running towards the main entrance, the guard suddenly stopped Kace, confusing her.“Your identification card miss?” The guard asked her. “Oh, right!” She dug inside her bag and searched for her ID. Why did I forget to wear it today? I’ll be late again in class for sure. She managed to wake up early and avoid his brother’s attempt to make breakfast again and yet, this came up. “Miss, where is it?” the guard demanded her. Kace was positive that her ID was inside her bag but then, she couldn’t find it this time. Damn it!She was starting to get anxious, not because of the guard but because of the time. Come on just show yourself to me now. “If you don’t have it, then you can’t enter miss. You know the rules.” The guard reminded her, annoying her even more.“Uhm… it’s just here somewhere… please just let me in. I’ll be late for class now, sir.” She tried to beg but he ignored her instea

“WHAT did I just get myself into?” Kace mumbled to herself as she walked along the hallways of their building. “How am I supposed to convince a student to join the pub? Ugh!” She shook her head.Suddenly, someone blocked her way. When she looked up, she saw Kris infront of her. “K-Kris?”Her brother smirked. “Why are you reacting like you’ve seen a ghost?”“Oh… uh… nothing. It’s just that students may see you talking to me,” she answered, almost whispering.“Don’t worry about it. They won’t notice. Why are you bowing your head while walking? What if you bump into a wall?”“I don’t care about the wall right now. I just don’t know where to find someone to join us.” She sighed.“I’m sure you’ll find a way. You’re Kace the Great, right?” He tapped her shoulder. She nodded at her brother. “You should get going now. Someone may see us.” She reminded him.Kris nodded. “Goodluck!” He turned his back and started to march his way out of the building. She continued to walk forward still thinki

IT was the longest walk she ever had. Normally, she’d reached her apartment for around fifteen minutes but now it took her thirty minutes to get into their street. From a distance, she noticed a car parked infront of their building which she recognized to be her brother’s car so she paused and stopped Luke from walking.The guy turned to her in question. “Are we there yet?”“Uh… I’ll just walk home from here. Thank you again. Take care on your way home.” She flashed him one last smile.Luke felt something suspicious but he ignored it after seeing her smile. Instead, he nodded and turned his back to walk towards the opposite direction.When Luke disappeared from her sight, she quickly ran towards her apartment. She was about to enter when suddenly, there was a beeping sound coming from behind her. Turning around, she saw another car flashing its lights blinding her. The car stopped infront of her and revealed Chandler who was now walking towards her direction.She wasn’t surprised to
