[NARRATOR] Jaz and Drake's professor are currently discussing their supposed task. They will have a group project. "You will be divided into four groups, and the deadline will be next month, so you have one month to finish it. There are 40 of them, so ten people per group. Fate plays a game, and Jaz and Drake are in a group. "So, since I am the leader you have chosen, I suggest we have an overnight study each week to finalize everything we have finished. Do you agree?" Their leader taught this, and everyone except Jaz was left dumbfounded. She thought about her Dad's anger when he found out. "Is it essential to have an overnight study? And whose house will it be?" Jaz asked anxiously. She doesn't want her Dad to scold her again, but the universe is testing her. And why Drake always brings them together. Jaz went straight to her room when she got home. Will she tell her Dad about her and Drake being in the same group and that they have overnight study every once a week and the wor

[JAZ AMANDA] After we had dinner, pronto, I felt Anika's absence. What made me more conscious her friend Gillian was also not around. She has a friend I didn't know, and she let her stay here at her house. Are they that close?My ass was on fire, so I stood up to look for Anika. Every movement seemed to stop when I captured them talking seriously. Gillian's tears became visible, making my chest pound strangely. Something is off. They don't seem just friends in my gut feeling. My heart thumped faster than usual when Anika's hand landed on Gillian's cheek. My whole body trembled at what happened next. Gillian kissed her on the lips, then embraced her with keenness. Shaking, I tried to move my legs to retreat from this unsavory scenario. I shouldn't let myself witness this shit! "Jaz?!" Anika called me, but the thunder inside me was more decisive. I averted and walked as fast as possible, returning to the house. I didn't realize my tears were already streaming. My parents

Jaz has no choice but to sleep over at Anika's place. "I can't believe I'm here!" Jaz blurted out. "Get used to it because, in no time, we will be living under the same roof.." Anika replied. "Hi, Jaz.." Gillian greeted, but she just raised an eyebrow at her. "Sorry, Gillian." Anika apologizes for Jaz's behavior. "You guys look like enemies. And it seems to be my fault. Let me explain to Jaz what she saw last week.." Gillian was referring to what happened in the garage. "There's no need, Gillian. She won't change her thoughts about me.." "Have you eaten yet? I cooked.." "It's fine. I'm still full.." "How about Jaz??" "I'll take care of her, Gillian." Anika follows Jaz after talking to Gillian. [JAZ AMANDA] I really can't believe that girl is here.After all, it turns out that Gwen is not her real girlfriend.What is she doing? What is going on, and she and Gwen are pretending?? And this Gillian, who is she really?? "Hey, Jaz. You can't stay there.." "And where do you pl

[JAZ AMANDA] When I opened my eyes, Anika was no longer by my side. I wandered around, and the moments we shared last night were restored. Something incredible happened between us, this time with a label, and everything was precise, with no trace of doubt. I just smiled at the thought of that. I love Anika very much, and it's like a dream come true. She loves me too. "Baby. Good morning.." Anika kissed me on the forehead as she approached me on the bed. I'm still naked from the last night, and my hair was messed up. "Good morning.." I answered shyly. But why am I ashamed? It wasn't the first time we had sex. "Are you okay? Let's go downstairs. Have breakfast? We're going somewhere.." I'm such a wasted ice cream, melting in her gaze. I'm in the middle of both her arms. "Where?" I asked, smiling, failing to hide how happy my heart was. "You will know.." "But we have school, don't we??" My eyebrow curled. "Hmmm, absent.." Anika replied with a smirk. I quickly dodged just as she

THE FOLLOWING DAY>>> Jaz started practicing with the cheerleading squad for the upcoming basketball game. "Jaz!" Drake shouted as he ran towards Jaz. "Hey! Drake, what's up?" Jaz faced Drake with enthusiasm on her face. "Nice outfit, huh," Drake utter, looking at Jaz full-length. They both smile. "Alright, break a leg. I have to go. Our practice too will about to start." Drake just waved and left. While Jaz was busy, her eyes constantly expected the chance that Anika would pass by. Jaz beeped Anika up last night about her practice, but Anika didn't reply. After almost three hours, Jaz went to her next subject. In contrast, Anika was in the library with Gwen and Mimi. "Are you really going to join?" Gwen asked. "Why not?" Mimi's interjecting. "We were together in elementary for years, but I didn't know that you were interested in writing news," Gwen stated in amazement. "You don't know a lot about me, Gwen.." Anika retaliates. "So guys, are we going to eat now? I'
