"What are you doing with your life? I am very disappointed with you Gavriella!" Her father was fuming mad with the anger. She could see in his eyes that he was resisting himself in hurting her. "Trishia convinced me to come. I didn't know she will bring me to that abandoned place with her friends, Dad." She still tried to explain. She knew it was hard to believe but she was hoping her father will believe and listen to her this time. That she regrets coming with Trishia and let be convinced by them in the first place. It was her mistake and she was admitting it. She was even thankful because her Dad came to rescue her. If he did not come Harold might do something worst than that. "Who are those you were with? Are they even students at your school? That boy y

Currently, at one of the bookstores located at the nearby mall searching for materials on her school's project, her attention suddenly got caught by someone who called out her name.  "Gav, is that you?" Her head automatically turned to check the owner of the voice who called out her name. Her eyes widen in surprise when she found out it was nothing but Cedric Miguel Villacencio- the person that bothers her mind for days now. Strange but she keeps on thinking about their encounter at the party.  Funny because there are some days that her thoughts were filled about him. If he had already gone back to London, if she will ever see him again, if he still remembers her- the girl she met at the party. Now she can't believe, he was here right in front of her. Life is really full of surprises she guessed. "Hi!" She gladly greeted.

The first week of September is the start of recruiting volleyball members at their school. It is the moment she has been waiting for to join and be a part of the team. Actually, she has been preparing herself for this. She started practicing a month ago with Kaycee. Funny because it looks like the latter got persuaded in her passion for volleyball because all of a sudden she just made a decision that she also want to join the initiation and do the try-out. They practice all the basic volleyball moves like setting, spiking, bumping, blocking, and serving as preparations for the tryout and they make sure to spend an hour practicing every day.  At first, she had qualms that Kaycee is just obligating herself in joining to please her but when she noticed she is really enjoying their practices, she somehow got convinced.  When the try-out came, she preferred herself to be coachable a

"What made you late in going home this time?" Her father asked that evening.It's been days she intended to come home late. She usually reasoned out her practice for volleyball and sometimes she stays at Kaycee's house and does the homework to skip dinner with them. She remembered being told by her Dad this morning to come home early for they will have special visitors to join them for dinner. She guessed another business associate or might be a family friend so she intentionally came home late to skip it for she don't have any interest to meet them. What for? She doesn't feel like she belongs in the family anyway?"We have a school presentation tomorrow and we're in a hurry to finish it because we're lacking out of time. That's the reason why I'm late in going home." She explained."I told you to come home early tonight because I have an important visitor to come and I want them to meet the whole family."

That night her heart wallowed in deep pain, waling away from the garden feeling imbecile.  Her heart was bleeding in so much pain and bitterness. It hurts so deep like she was dying little by little. She can't even remember how she managed to ascend to the stairs. She laid her body on the bed as tears streamed down nonstop on her face.Of all people, why it would have to be Leanna? Why would have to be the person she hates the most? But Miguel just came back to the country. How did they meet and become that close? Is it possible that they were having communications before? Her mind was full of thousands of questions and this damn pain and jealousy she felt inside was killing her. For how many times she pinched herself wishing that it was only a dream, that it was not Miguel she saw kissing by Leanna but then at the back of her mind, she knew she was only fooling herself. Her heart cannot mislead the person it was beating
