All Chapters of Tale Through Time: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

“Grandma, grandma! Can you read me another story?” Kaia asked her grandmother as she was being tucked in bed, “but I just read you one already, aren’t you sleepy now? It’s late already.”She shook her head and began jumping up and down, “I love listening to your stories! Don’t worry when I grow up, I’ll know how to read long words by then and I’ll read all your books all by myself!” that made her grandmother laugh, ‘that’s great, you better start practice reading… now come here and I’ll read you another one and you’ll sleep after okay?”Kaia nodded and went back to lying on her bed.Her grandmother started the story, and it wasn’t long before she saw Kaia’s eyes began to droop and she fell asleep. She closed the book she was reading before she pulls the covers up to Kaia’s shoulders. She kissed her goodnight before going out the room, turning

"What time is it?" I asked him."It's 3 pm"I overslept, having such a weird dream kept me from my work and now I'm a little behind schedule. I quickly stood up and grabbed my notebook. "Hey, you must have fallen asleep while doing that and yet here you are, writing again. Wow, I'm amazed by your passion.”I rolled my eyes at him. Should I tell him that bizarre dream? Well, it was just a dream but... It felt so unreal."I think you should eat first or better yet, fix yourself first. Your hair looks like a haystack." he joked. I touched my hair and became self-conscious. Seriously Kaia. Just because your best friends don’t mean it’s okay to let him see you look like that. "I uh... need to go to the bathroom." I excused myself.I'm so stupid. I know I shouldn't be embarrassed because he'd already seen me at my worse, but I can't help it with him being a guy, much more the guy that I like. I brushed my

My eyes are blurred, full of tears that I couldn’t see the person who’s coming towards us. I heard Jake arguing with someone, that voice is familiar, but my drunken mind couldn’t decipher who that person is.I stopped crying and wiped my tears, already forgetting the reason why I was crying in the first place.  Suddenly, a hand grabbed my arm breaking me out of my daze. I looked up at the person and saw Xander, with a clenched jaw, he runs his hand through his hair.“I’m gone for thirty minutes Kaia. Thirty minutes, and I’d come back to this? What happened? Why are you crying? Did that guy hurt you?”Dang, even though he’s angry he’s still hot.“Kaia! Are you even listening to me? Wait… are you drunk?” I didn’t get to talk, as he argue with Jake once more, leaving me with my drunken thoughts. I felt lightheaded and my stomach started to churn. “Xander.&rdquo

“You what?” he asked still confused, “This henna is from Cassiopeia, a character from my story, the one I’m currently writing.” He grabbed my wrist and examined it closely.“Are you sure you didn’t draw this?” I glared at him, “I’m a writer not an artist, you know I can’t draw even if my life depends on it.”He still didn’t look convinced, so I continue eating. No matter how many times I tell him, he just won’t believe it, but come to think of it, Cassiopeia and Xander were not a dream, they are true and alive, and this henna is a proof of it.More questions started to form in my head and it’s starting to give me headache.“Kaia look, can we please take a break from that story?” he pleaded and all I can do is nod weakly. No use in making him believe me now, he’s starting to get irritated.My phone vibrated; it was from an unknown num

I turned around, but my smile faltered. "Oh... Jake, why are you still here?" I asked softly looking for Xander, Jake raised an eyebrow, "the question is, why are you still here? your class ended like an hour ago." Just then, Xander passed by us without a glance in our direction.I looked back at Jake and let out a disappointed sigh, "class ended up late, and I forgot to bring my umbrella and was hoping someone I know would come to my rescue." I joked while looking at Xander's back who's already far.Realization crosses on Jake's face as he followed my gaze, "oh, is Xander's... does he... dang, I'm so stupid."  he muttered with his head hung low. Somehow, I felt guilty so I nudged him on his side. "Hey, what are you talking about? I was just joking, but seriously I forgot my umbrella. Just incase you have one, maybe I could borrow it so I won't get wet in the rain." I said grinning at him innocently.He shook his head and grinned b
