SunnyThe bus sent us home one by one. We thought we would head to our school, where we would separate, but Gino said he wanted to make sure we would be home safe and sound. And also knows we are tired from this trip, and he does not want us to be in any hassle commuting to our home.I think they sent Steven home last because his house is far. "Sunny, are you ready?" I heard my grandma asking me.I nodded. "Yes, grandma. I am ready." I answered."They will be here in a few minutes." Grandma replied.We are currently wearing semi-formal attire. Mom said we should be formal, even though we were in our own house. Rendezcah's family is also not like ours. We can just say that they were rich. This is the least we can do to look presentable.When I got home, our house was already clean. It felt like they cleaned every corner of our house to ensure no dirt. I initially wanted to laugh because they prepared for this dinner, but I think my family wants to be presentable to Mr. and Mrs. Rendezca

Morning came, and Steven went to school earlier than usual, feeling down and uncomfortable. Last night, he was down with a fever again. His wound does not hurt, but the effect is still impactful. Luckily, his parents were still home, and his mother treated him.When the sun was up, his fever was not that great, and he went to school with the help of his older brother, who sent him in front of their school gate. He just put his arms on the table with his face facing the table. He is being awkward and getting uncomfortable.What his father had said last night stayed in his mind after that. He could not shoo the thoughts away. His father might be wrong, but his father must be right. He is afraid of their reaction when they learn about his secret. Would they still act normal if they knew? Or would they throw hate at him?It had been running through his mind since he entered the university. He is still determining what he should do or how to act toward them now."Steven?" Someone called him

Sunny"Mom! I will go now." I bid goodbye to my mother."Tell Steven to get well soon, okay?" My mother reminded me.I nodded before running out of our house. I will visit Steven today in the hospital. I want to make sure he is okay or not. I fished out my phone to video call Mavin."Hey, Sunny!" Mavin greeted her happily. "You are on your way here now?" He asked when he noticed that I was walking out into the street.I nodded back. "I am on my way there. Are Auntie and Uncle there?" I asked back."Yeah, they are still here. Take care on your way." Mavin replied.I smiled and gave him a thumbs-up. "Thank you. See you soon." I said before ending the call.Before I could ride the bus, I bought fruits for Steven. Grandma handed me money and told me to buy fruits so Steven would gain more vitamins with them. I purchased different fruits, such as bananas, apples, and oranges.After a few minutes, I reached the hospital and headed inside. I quickly went to the information desk and told them

SunnyThey are all looking at me. What is happening? Why are the students looking at me as I enter our school? I did not cause any trouble for our school, right? Why does it feel like I did?"Oh my gosh, Sunny. Good thing you are here now," Shiela said when I entered our room. "Have you seen your jerk ex-boyfriend's post and his ugly new girlfriend's comment?" she asked.I shook my head. "No. I unfriended Jake after we ended our relationship. Why?" I asked back.Why am I getting nervous? Shiela looks like she is hesitating to tell me the reason. "Why, Shiela? Did something happen?" I gathered my courage to ask her."Your jerk ex-boyfriend posted something on his social media account. It seems like he saw you guys yesterday. He saw Steven fetch you. He even took a photo of you while you were smiling at each other," She shared. "His girlfriend commented, 'How dare you act like a victim when you are also cheating behind Jake's back.' Like, what the hell? So, I am waiting for you. Whether

Steven"Can you throw that face of yours?" Mavin commented. "You have been frowning since you woke up this morning. What the hell is wrong with you?" He added, complaining.She is avoiding me. She even did not come today with Grandma. I told her not to worry about it last night, but Sunny is Sunny. She will think of it as the most challenging problem in this world."Mavin." I called my brother."What?" He asked."How did you know she was your mate?" I asked him.His forehead creased. "There are many ways in which you can find your mate. You can tell by seeing her that it's like love at first sight. You can also tell by her scent and by your guts. Why are you asking?""I told you before that I saw my mate, right?" I asked again instead of answering his question.He nodded. "You did, but when I asked who and where she was, you did not bother opening your mouth after. You just told me and left me stressed about it. What about it?" He asked again."Do not dare leave me and my questions una
