"Khai!" Von calls Khai, and Khai turns his head in our direction. He looks at Von then at me."Hey, why are you standing there? Come over!" Von says loudly, inviting Khai to join our table.No. No way! Don't come!"Let him, Von. He may not want to eat with us." Steph says. That's right, Steph. Don't let Khai join us."Come on, we are in the same class. We should invite him." Von says and calls Khai again."Why the hell on earth did he invite him?" I heard Steph's whisper while rolling her eyeballs secretly. Khai, on the other hand, walks over to our place."Hi!" Sab greeted him while smiling and waving her hands. Khai just nods his head and sat on the chair next to Von, in front of me. He keeps his eyes on me, but I didn't look at him. What's wrong with him? He always puts me in an awkward situation."Gosh, you're so cold." Sab mumble."Should we order food? I'm hungry." I say, breaking the awkwa

KHAI's POV"Where have you been? What did you do today?" Dad asks me as I enter the lounge area. He is sitting on the sofa with his legs are crossed while reading a newspaper. "Nothing." I response shortly then walks towards the stairs, but before I could reach the stairs he spoke. "Stop right there." He commanded so I stop walking but I didn't face him. I have to hide my face. "So, where have you been?" He asks again. "School," "School?" He questioned suspiciously. I knew it, he called my professor again. It is not new anyway. Ever since he is controlling my fucking life and I'm used to it. "Are you trying to lie on your father now?" His tone is calm but serious. I breathe out before speaking. "I have reasons why I didn't attend my class. I'm sorry. Where's mum, by the way?" I ask him, changing the subject, but seems I failed. "Where are your manners, huh? Why do you turn your back while talking to

KHAI's POVWithout knocking on the door, I enter the clinic. Khim, the nurse was a bit startled. "Hey, do you not know how to knock before entering, huh? What are you doing here by the way? Don't you have a class?" She asks while raising her brows slightly. By the way, she is Khim, my half-sister in father's side. I walk straight towards the medical bed and lie down. "Don't talk to me. I need to rest. I'm sleepy." I say as I close my eyes. "What happened?" She inquires, and I heard her footsteps coming near me. "Why is your wound swollen? Did you fight again?" She asks and I grunt in pain when she touched my face. "No. I didn't." I lied. If she knows, she might call mum. Khim is close to my mother because even if she is my father's daughter with another woman, my mother treats her as her real daughter. But not Dad. Khim and Dad are not in a good term. "Really?" She raised her brows, looking at me suspiciously. I close my eyes again and

CASSANDRA's POVOne hour left and Steph and I will go to Von's place. Here I am, looking at myself in front of my human size mirror after I get dressed. My hair is perfectly curled against my face. After a while, Steph knocks on my door. I lock my door so she cannot enter my room because I am planning to show my outfits to her outside of the house. "Cass, are you done? Let's go!" She shouts from outside of my room. "Just a second! Wait for me in the car!" I shout back. "Alright! Hurry!""Okay!"I push two boppy pins in, one on each side to keep my hair out of my face, then I apply a lip gloss on my lips. Okay, well done. I took my sling bag, and then I exit my room. Walk straight downstairs and got out of the house. As I got out of the house, Steph's eyes immediately meet me and her eyebrows snapped together to see me. Yeah, that is because I am not wearing a party dress outfit. "Seriously???" She questioned unbelievably,

"You came," he says. I gulped as my eyes landed on his mouth and see his smile. All of a sudden, a scenario flashback in my mind.~*~I woke up seeing no one else here in the library but only Khai and me. Oh my, I didn't realize that we were both asleep. I searched for my notebook and found it under Khai's arms. He's leaning on it. I didn't take it because he might wake up. I don't want to disturb his deep sleep. Looking at him while he is sleeping makes me smile. He looks like a baby. I laid my head again on the table to stare at him closely. My eyes traveled to his entire face, and for some unknown reason, I suddenly felt something strange inside my chest. Khai is handsome, smart, sweet, and a good guy. He is also good at everything. I mean, he can play instruments and sing. A lot of girls like him. Well, who would not like him? He is so perfect. So, I can really
