Vivienne I plopped down to my bed. I just received a text message from work, telling me I shouldn't come to work tonight. Maybe the workload wasn’t that much. I am a bit dismayed. That means my salary this week will be less. But maybe, it was for the best. I can rest my arm.I went to the bathroom to clean and changed into casual. But while getting clothes from my wardrobe, I saw the coat hanged together with mine.It was Thore’s.Oh! I almost forgot about this. I quickly changed and took the coat from the wardrobe. I grabbed a paper bag in my drawer then I dialed Raylie’s phone. I only had his number because he became my master.“What?” That’s the grumpy voice that greeted me. I just rolled my eyes. Same old“Give me Thore's number.”“Why?”“Just because.”“He was with me. Just talk to him now.&rdqu

 Raylie I was surprised and didn’t realize I slipped my tongue. I turned to Vivienne who was throwing a death glare at me.“I mean nursing her pocket since she was broke, as you said. She accidentally broke my friend's phone.” I immediately amended what I just said.“Oh, I am so sorry for that. Is the problem has been settled? How am I going to repay you, then?”“That’s nothing, Mrs. Alfonso.”“Oh, join us for dinner, then. I'll just prepare the table.”“Mom! You shouldn’t feed this brute. The stocks were just enough for us for a month!” Vivienne yelled at her Mom who went to the kitchen.“Nah! Giving him dinner would not hurt. After all, you are indebted to him.”“Indebted my ass.” She whispered, shooting a dark glare at me. “What book do you need to borrow? Tell me then leave!

  Vivienne “Can I have a moment, Vivienne?” Sheena approached just right until we've got dismissed from the last morning's subjects. “Sure.” I smiled. I was still in deep thought. What Thore said lingered in my head. “What is it?” “Didn’t I promised to introduced you to our club president?” “Oh. I almost forgot!” “Let’s go?” The next thing I knew, Sheena and I were walking out of the classroom. On the way, I saw Raylie, leaning against the wall. He seems to wait for someone else. When we met each other’s eyes, he stands up straight and meets me halfway. “Let’s have lunch together.” He bluntly said, looking straight at me. I was surprised to hear that. I honestly prefer him to act like a brute rather than this all gentlemanly. And what is his deal now? What is he planning to do? Why would he suddenly ask me to eat with him? “Whoa! Did I hear it right? Raylie was asking her ou

Vivienne I stretched my arm and my shoulder while walking down the university’s parking area. We had a two-hour club meeting. I didn’t expect the meeting to be a lot of fun. I thought the club president was so uptight. But it turns out, Jayden knows how to joke around. The meeting wasn’t boring, thanks to him.I yawned. I was near my scooter but a firm hand grabbed my wrist and pulled me somewhere. Later, I was slammed into the wall. My eyes widened in shock when I finally noticed who it was.I narrowed my eyes on him. “Idiot! What are you doing?!” I tried to get away from him. But Raylie used his strong arms to corner me. He leaned his hands against the wall and looked at me intently.I looked around. Good thing no one’s around. I don’t really want to join Raylie’s little show in front of the other students. And what is this? Why would he catch me and

 Vivienne‘I really wanted to eat with you.’What does it mean? Why would he ask me that way? Is he changing tactics? Sure he is. That egoistic brute! He might not be over it. I don’t mean to put him into embarrassment. It’s his fault that he was embarrassed. He toyed me! He should know that I am not the kind who he can play around with.“That asshole!”“Huh? Are you referring to me?”I turned to Aria who got flustered from my sudden outburst. In front of us are the mountains of pieces of denim we are folding.I smiled at her. “Not you. I was referring to my asshole classmate who used to pester me.”
