Chocolates. Different kinds of chocolates. That was the inside of the box. I was still staring at it. When I entered my room earlier, I didn’t know what to say and what to do. Now, who’s really this guy, huh? I mean is he from my school? And gosh, Sir Greg saw it earlier! His reaction!    I gasped hard and covered my face with both of my hands. I groaned hard and immediately slumped my back on the bed. I heaved a sigh as I stared at my ceiling. The box of chocolates was still beside me. I glanced at the box again. I bit lip and slowly reached for it. I stared at it for some moment. I haven’t eaten anything even though thess chocolates were my favorites. I sighed and checked each of its kind.   I was in that position when a knock came at my door. I almost jumped in shock. I closed my eyes hard before sitting down on my bed. 

Our midterm week was hell, but it passed like a blur. All the distractions that I felt that night when Sir Greg visited the house were just washed aways when the week entered. The whole exam week was really exhausting. What’s worse was that there was a celebration after that. That’s the unified acquaintance that the student council was preparing for how many months already. And as the head of the council, all preparations were monitored by me and our adviser, who was unfortunately Sir Greg. Basically, the thought of having him out of my system because of the midterm week just passed cause once again, we were in the same room, so close that his presence made me flinch already. Damn. “We have barely two days for this. Together with the arts team, we will be spending our time decorating the stage, mandating rehearsals and other things. And let us not forget to thank our hardworking president along with other members who did all the work beforehand.” I immediately bit my lip when Sir

I didn’t know how I was able to survive that dinner with Sir Greg just an inch away from me. The next thing I knew, I already survived the dinner and we were back to the auditorium to resume the rehearsal and the decoration. Thank God, I was able to survive that, too. We finished at almost midnight, I think? Well, that was for the rehearsals. The Arts Club extended for some hour, I think. I wasn’t really sure because I already went to the Home Economics room right after we wrap up the run through. I was so tired already that I already wanted to sleep. Thank God, we had more sleeping beds and there were even beds for the housekeeping subjects. I’m not really sure. I settled on one single bed closest to the door. Right after I cleaned my face, I immediately slumped on the bed. I could hear the other members still chattering while I was just there staring at the ceiling. It’s just weird that I was so tired earlier, yet now my eyes couldn’t even close. Gosh. I gave out a deep sigh befor

His soft lips nibbled mine. My sober mind was telling me to stop this nonsense, but then it was as if my lips has their own mind, and just kept on kissing the stranger. Damn it, Felice! Calm the hell down! I didn’t know for how long that kiss lasted. I tightened my grip on his nape and I felt him tighten his grip on my waist, too. I couldn’t count how many curses I had in my head already. Oh my gosh, this needs to stop! We were in the middle of the dance floor, and it’s a school ground for God’s sake!I took a deep breath and gathered all the strength that I had. I counted to three and quickly pushed him away. I even almost went down because of the impact and the people bumping me from left to right. Damn it. I held my head when I felt like my head was spinning already. I guess it was from the alcohol, the lights, and the movement of the people combined. “Hey, hey.” I felt two massive arms hugging me. I tried to look up to see who the guy was, but then he hugged me tight making me b

“If you’ll give me a chance, I’ll make sure every fear and pain will be worth it, Felice. It will be a rough road, but I will never give up on you. That’s the thing that I could promise.”I slowly watched his head bow down to me. Then I felt my hand being lifted until his soft lips touched the back of my palm. My mouth parted even more. I closed my eyes tight. Shit. “I will respect your decision, Felice, whatever it is, I will hold on to it.” Slowly, he looked up and met my gaze. As if on cue, I felt my heart skipping a bit the moment our eyes met. I felt my eyes watering as my emotions heightened up the moment we looked at each other in the eyes. It was as if all the emotions that I have been hiding from the moment I realized that I like him piled up. It was overwhelming me. I felt like my chest were burning up and it wasn’t because of an ailment or something, it was the prosperous emotions that I have been trying to contain this whole time. I bit my lip so hard that I could alrea
