Chapter 013
Clutching her necklace, Xiao had practically made herself hidden behind her backpack albeit it wasn’t much of help as she was walking down the benches of the covered court. She was covering just her face using her backpack, silently praying to remain unnoticed. But, realizing that the goddess of luck wouldn’t always help her in times of need, she heavily sighed as soon as she was called by her name. And the fact that it wasn’t coming from just a single person’s voice, made her panic internally.
“Xiao! Xiao! Come here! We’re here!” group of people were chanting those words and Xiao was taken aback when she realized the owners of the voices. She turned her head in a snap, investigated her surroundings, and especially, started searching for the faces of people whom she didn’t expect to see. Although it was already confirmed by their voices, but she was still immobilized as soon as her eyes met theirs. ‘
Chapter 014Xiao was once again reminded by the past wherein she confessed his feelings to someone only to end up receiving equal opposite of happiness. Looking at Jun, she couldn’t suppress the embarrassment she feels. It was constantly taking over her. She just couldn’t calm herself as she kept looking away from the lad. Wendy, on the other hand, started to become bothered by the feeling of awkwardness they have during that very moment. She knew something was going on, just by the looks of the other two were emanating... For sure something’s up, Wendy had thought before proceeding to ask Jun once more.“Aren’t you here because you have something to tell me? You called my name.”“Ah, yeah. I’m sorry I was mistaken.”“What?”“I’m supposed to call Xiao,” he mentioned her name but he was looking away, obviously feeling the immensity between the two. Xiao rath
Chapter 015“Xiao!” Wendy was waving at her and it kinda made Xiao confused. Since when did she and Wendy became close, she literally had no idea. It all just started in a blink of an eye. She became close with the squad. What made it more intriguing, where she expected everyone to get her nerves once again, it did not happen. It was truly intriguing and questioning. She started to become more confused with the sudden escalation of things. She thought after what happened during the celebration night for Hei, she’ll be doomed. But what happened was the actual opposite. And even until now, a week had passed, she’s still in perplexity.“Come here, Xiao! What are you standing for over there?” Wendy shouted amidst the ocean of people. Xiao was holding her own tray of food whilst standing in the middle of the canteen, totally left confused. She meant, she hasn’t get used to the squad’s interactive moments yet and still. It was
Chapter 016Some things weren’t just meant for Xiao, as what she had thought; there were just some unfortunate things she didn’t wish to happen yet unstoppable for her to do so. She somehow once thought what she has done in her past life to experience such ill-fated events in her current life. She somehow thought she was cursed for such life. She wasn’t surely happy with how things turned out as soon as she’s born in this world called Earth.Actually, she never was.If she’s given a chance to relive life, she would definitely choose the opposite decisions she has ever made. She would make sure to never repeat the same mistakes all over again. She would promise to her other self, she would grab any chance to be happy and not to live life full of regrets.Because if she wouldn’t, she’ll just reface all circumstances where she really felt miserable and it’d be a loss of chance, totally.“What are y
Chapter 017“What do you mean...” Xiao snapped back to reality as Xander’s voice echoed once again through her ears. She was forced to face him in order to give him the stagnation she wanted for him to see.“Xander, you know what I’m talking about. Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten about yesterday,” she pursed her lips upon the reminiscing memory she has to endure. The sight of something she couldn’t hold on; it was truly tormenting. And it became even worse when she finally found out about her inner intentions. She thought it was just a mere feeling, but she was wrong. It was way deeper, and it was proven upon the sight of him witnessing something he shouldn’t have seen in the beginning. Truly embarrassing. And what’s funnier was, I wasn’t even aware of my feelings. So dumb of me, Xiao had thought, shifting her eyes away from Xander as the latter cleared his throat.“I’m s
Chapter 018Days became weeks. Just few months left for world championship, Xiao couldn’t still believe it. She wasn’t ready. She knew it. But she’s left with no choice but to go on, otherwise she’d remain worthless and failure in the eyes of many. Truth be told, being an athlete wasn’t her dream. It was just like a responsibility she has to carry on all throughout the generation. Since Tatsunumi family was very known for being athletic; starting from their ancestors down to the newer generation, the family is known for that. The family’s strong-willed mentality and the blood itself is within them, and will be staying there for eternity.“I don’t know what to do, Mom,” Xiao whispered while watching the ceiling of her room as well as clutching her necklace at the same time laying on her soft-cushioned bed, “I need your guidance.”Amidst all the scandalous rumours about Xiao, she’s still thank
Chapter 019“Ya, Xiao! I’m here!”“Oh Yerin...”“Gosh, girl, why are you so tensed?”“I have to master my lines.”“What about it?”“You don’t have this in your Personal Development class?”“Girl, we have different teachers in that subject.”“Oh well, but we have a class project and we have to perform a play.”“A play?”“Literally a play. And next week will be the day. I still haven’t memorized my lines.”“Oh gosh... you must be really anxious then.”“Yeah, totally.”“Guess, I have to tell you next time.”“Huh? What next time? What are you gonna tell me? Why not tell me now?”“Nah, I don’t want to add more problem.”“Yerin!” she exclaimed, an indication that she
“Take it easy, take it easy, some things inside the boxes are fragile,” I said as soon as the boys helped me in taking out the stuffs that were supposed to make a ‘surprise’. Oh well, I also have to find a spot for them. Gladly, I already talked to one of the coaches in the university which I discussed with him one of my plans. It was really supposed to be surprise, even my arrival at that matter, but I wasn’t able to make it hidden when my sister had actually asked about my whereabouts. So, I got no choice but to reveal the truth that I’ll be visiting her in Japan. But that doesn’t mean, my 'real’ surprise is ruined. It has to succeed, no matter what happens.“Oh, so you need a place to hide all of your stuffs?”“Yes, just for the mean time. After that, I’ll be taking them out. I’m just doing this for my sister. I supposed you already know who I am.”“Well, just by looking
“Oppa!” as soon as I entered the court, my sister ran towards me like a crying child as if she just lost her mother in the middle of nowhere. I laughed at her and as soon as she reached me, she hugged me tightly which I returned the same, “I miss you so much!” she said as she hugged me even tightly.“Then why not come back home?”She grunted, “You know how much I love this place now!”“Yeah I know. But you said you missed me. Don’t you think it’s time to come back home?” I asked, slightly dropping hints.“Nah. I don’t want to,” she looked away, obviously not wanting the discussion.“Yerin! Coach is looking for you!” I heard someone call, and upon looking at the distance, there I saw Ms. Sunaka’s grim smile.“Ah, right, coming!” Yerin faced me once again, “I have to go. You stay here. I’ll be back
