A WEEK before the start of class. Dione has adapted to her new environment, which she didn’t think of she can, quickly. She thought that Jax is one of the major reason on why it happened.Since the incident that happened in the forest, Dione has become more comfortable with Jax. She wants to congratulate herself for finally having a friend. However, as the day of the start of class is approaching. She overthinks that she might be alone at university again. She remembered how popular Jax was at university. But she was surprised because Jax was the only one she knew famously, without social media accounts. He has a phone, but he only uses it for texting and calling.So now, they are sitting in front of the koi pond. Jax and Dione, side by side. While Dione’s two siblings were playing nearby.Dione teaches Jax on how to use Instagram. She made him an account, Jax didn’t want to, but she insisted. So the latter did nothing but agre

WEEKS later…Dione woke up early in the morning, it’s the first day of class. She went to the kitchen to cook breakfast, but when she got there, her mother had just finished cooking.“Good morning, mom. I should’ve just cooked for our breakfast,” Dione said. Her mother smiled at her and got a plate to put on what she had cooked. Dione smiled when she saw the only sunny side up, and the rest were scrambled eggs. Dione prefers the sunny side up, particularly, she likes the yolk of the egg.She helped her mom prepare the breakfast dishes at their dining table. And Dione’s two siblings arrived just in time. They’re going to school too.“Take your seats,” Dione’s mother said to her siblings. After a while, Baron and Jax arrived at the same time. They are sweaty.“Where are you two been, Uncle Baron?” Dione asked, curious. She sat at the opposite of her two siblings

“Who is she, Jax? I thought she’s your girlfriend,” Dione asked. Jax frowned at her, as if what she was saying was impossible to happen. “She’s Amara, one of the family friends of the Hemmings family. She happens to know me on a gathering once, and since then, she’s been clinging to me and calling me her fiance,” Jax explained. Dione’s eyes widened at what she heard and stopped walking. She even slapped Jax arm before speaking. “You, dummy! She likes you! And yet, you treated her like that!” Dione said to him. Jax’s forehead furrowed even more because of what Dione said. “So, do you like me to be with her instead? If yes, it’s a no for me. I want to be with you, no one else,” Jax said seriously, and that silenced Dione. That was Jax’s last rebuttal that could calm shut her off down. They walked again. Dione just focused her attention around. Inside the campus was a bit foggy, and the meadows had dew in it. And Dione loved it, it’s relaxing for

TIME to go home, Dione and Rylie are walking with each other while the boys are at their back again. They were walking out of campus, talking.“Oh, so you’re living in the same house as Jax? Wow, isn’t that romantic? And you know what, you two look good together.” Dione’s eyes widened to what Rylie said. She immediately turned around, thinking they might have heard her. And Jax is just in the back. She just sighed when she saw them casually talking. But when she noticed Jax staring at her, she couldn’t help but be embarrassed.“Rylie! They might hear you!” she stopped the woman. Although she still felt an awkwardness in the woman because of its sudden appearance in her life, she could not drive it away. So why not go with the flow, right? It’s not like it’ll do her harm. Seeing Jax casually talking with them. That just means that they’re good people.“So what? I’m just

“HAPPY Birthday to you, Jax. Sorry we’re kinda late, but at least we made it, right?” said Dr. Conrad, who’s approaching the dining room. Jax immediately stood up and approached the scientist, and hugged him slightly.“Thank you, Dr. Conrad.” Jax leads him to a vacant seat in the middle. While Peter took the vacant seat in the end, beside Dione.“Good eve, Dr. Conrad,” Dianne greeted the old man.“Oh, Dianne! Cut the formalities, you’ll call me dad eventually, so why not now?” the scientist smiled at Dianne. The lady nodded shyly.“So these are your children, Dianne,” said the scientist after looking at the two children and Dione.“Oh yes, dad. This is the youngest, Dia, and then Danny and Dione, the oldest.” Baron introduced them. The scientist looked at them and stared at Dione for a while.“So, you’re the one who wants to
