Darren's POVOur college Achievement Day had finally arrived, and everyone felt excited. The first day started with a parade followed by an opening ceremony. In the evening would be the Literary and Musical Contest, and the remaining days would be dedicated to ballgames.It was already 7:00 pm, and my groupmates and I were settled in the university gym, ready for the evening's events. But Jeyah was still not around."Bubs, where's Jeyah?" I asked Clarrise, hoping she had some information."I don't know, bubs. I tried calling her, but she didn't answer," Clarrise replied, her eyes roaming around. "Maybe she is on her way, don't worry."Jeyah's absence made me uneasy. I giddily looked at my watch, and it was almost 7:30. The program would start at 8:00, but she was nowhere to be found. I took my cellphone and tried contacting her, but her phone just kept on ringing."Bridgette's here, but I think she hasn't noticed us yet," Eduard whispered."Just ignore her. There are so many people aro
Jeyah's POVIt was already noontime, and I already felt very hungry, especially that I hadn't taken a heavy breakfast. Right after my class in my major subject, I went to the library to borrow some books, but I enjoyed reading, and I did not notice it was already twelve o'clock."Bubs, my stomach is already rumbling. Let's have our lunch now," Clarrise whispered in my ear, which made me startled. I didn't notice her when she came in. She chuckled upon seeing my reaction, and all I could do was pinch the side of her torso."Ouch, sorry, bubs," she laughed even more.I smiled while glaring at her. Then, together we went out of the library. As usual, we headed towards the school cafeteria. I saw from afar our groupmates, who were already there, waving at us."Hi guys, sorry we're late," Clarrise said and pulled a chair."Hello, bubs, well, we thought you would not be taking your lunch," Angela spoke.I looked at Darren, who was just silent as if he was not in a good mood. I know there's s
Darren's POVI was awakened by the sound of my alarm clock. It was already seven in the morning, but I still felt sleepy. I still wanted to close my eyes, but I remembered Mom's and my sister's flight at nine. I felt a little groggy, but I needed to take them to the airport, so I hurriedly stood up and took a quick shower. I closed my eyes as the warm water touched my skin. But suddenly, I remembered Jewel's voice while she was singing my song request, "What About Love." Actually, her voice was a little familiar to me. And when I heard her talking on her livestream, I realized she sounded like Jeyah. "Oh, my God! Could it be possible that Jewel is Jeyah?" I uttered while I rinsed the soap off my body with water.But I was thinking, How could it be possible when Jeyah told me she was not good at singing? I shook my head and grunted. Perhaps I just missed Jeyah, so I was having this kind of thought. I took my towel and wrapped it around my waist as I stepped out of the bathroom.After
Jeyah's POVNo matter how much I wanted to close my eyes, I really could not sleep. Bridgette had ruined my mood. She only called me at this late hour just to tell me that she and Darren were already dating. The hell I care!I jumped out of bed and went to my music room. I wanted to be relieved from what I'm feeling right now, so I need the healing power of music. I was also thinking it's been a while since I haven't done live streaming. After setting up everything, I started my audio live stream. In just a matter of seconds, I already had plenty of viewers who were actually my avid fans and supporters. They told me in the chat how they missed my live stream. It was actually overwhelming on my part to receive such messages. I thought nobody would visit my live stream since I haven't done live streaming for two months already. Some of them asked me to reveal my face but I just told them it's not yet the right time. Well, in the first place, I was not doing a live stream for popularity
Jeyah's POV It was close to twelve midnight when the party ended. We were the only one left at the venue, since the visitors had already gone home. "Bubs, are you going to ride with us?", Clarisse asked me. "I'll drive her home, bubs", Darren butted in. "No, it's okay, bubs. I'll just take a taxi", I responded. He stared at me and again, I was lost. "I insist, bubs. Your brother entrusted you to me. Besides, it's almost midnight, and it's not good for you to be going home alone. I averted my gaze at him, because I felt like I was melting already. I felt all the butterflies in my stomach, and I was afraid I could not control my feelings anymore. "Okay, guys, let's say goodbye to Aunt Olive, Daphne and Dolly", Angela spoke as she walked towards the direction of Darren's family while we were following behind. "Auntie, we're going home now", Angela said and smiled at Darren's mom. "Mom, I'll drive Jeyah home. Uhm, I already called our driver mom", Darren said, then kissed his moth
Jeyah's POV "Bubs! Where have you been? Are you okay?", Clarisse asked, as soon as I went back to the party venue. "Bubs, are you crying?", Angela queried while looking at me intently. "Darren was looking for you awhile ago, bubs. Have you seen each other?", Eduard spoke, while sipping a glass of wine. My other group mates were just silent while waiting for my answer. "Uhm, I went to the rooftop to catch some air and yes, Darren and I met there.", I responded trying to sound natural even if deep inside I am already hurting. A few minutes later, I saw Darren and Bridgette entering the hall. Bridgette just walked straight towards the table in the front and just smirked at me when she passed by at our table. I immediately averted my gaze when I noticed that Darren was staring at me. He doesn't even know how much I've tried to control myself not to burst out in tears. I just kept my eyes on them as Bridgette was a having a chitchat with his mom. After a while, Bridgette stood up and
