12I woke up in the middle of the night feeling thirsty. I stood up and went to my table only to find that I ran out of water. I always keep water in my room because I don’t want to go down every time I get thirsty.Half-asleep, I go down to our stairs but I stop when I saw a silhouette. I scratch my eyes and look carefully who it was.“Dad?” I whisper but he didn’t hear me nor see me. He look around before carefully sneaking out. My brows creased and walk towards the area he left. I look at outside and saw dad driving away.The next day, I woke up extra early. Mom and dad are in the kitchen laughing and cuddling each other. When did dad got home?I’ve become suspicious of him but I try not to say anything because I’m not sure what is really happening. I didn’t told mom nor Faye about it and just kept it to myself.“Why do you keep spacing out?” Faye ask while we’re eating snacks here in the mall.We’re here to watch a new release movie together with Asher and Blaine. This days I woul

14“Oh my Gosh! I can’t believe you guys hid this from us!” I’m in shock right now. “I know you guys really like each other but how come I didn’t notice that you were officially a couple when we graduated.”I’m now ranting to Faye and Blaine who just revealed that they’re a couple a long time ago. I can’t believe that Faye manage to find it from me, and I can’t believe myself for not noticing this.“Calm down, you were preoccupied with your life that I can’t find a way to tell you.” Faye said.“You guys.” I shook my head while looking at Blaine. “Don’t you dare hurt her or else you will be traumatize for the rest of your life.” I said to Blaine.“That’s too much but don’t worry I’m loyal. I’m not like Asher.” He joke that made me roll my eyes. “Oops. Didn’t mean to say that.” He said and gave me a peace sign.“Shut up, I already have a boyfriend.” I said. “But why is he not around?” I suspiciously ask.“He’s always not around, he become busy with his girlfriends.”“Why is that plural?

16“Good morning.” I’m eating breakfast with my mom when Harry arrives.He wanted to fetch me so we could go to school together, and I didn’t expect him to be this early.“Breakfast, Harry?” Mom said.Harry nodded and sat beside me. He smiled and started eating. Mom raised her brows at m,e and I shook my head, not knowing how to react.She always teases me with Ashwhichthis is the first time she acknowledges Harry as my boyfriend. I don’t think Harry is profound to me; I know he prioritizes his career more than ever; I witness that while idolizing him. I think he’s just overwhelmed that there’s someone who cares for him and worships him like I do, even though plenty of girls idolize him.A lot of girls idolize him, but he ended up with me, and I want to make the most of it because this is what I wanted for a long time, but Asher makes me want to rethink if this is right.“You sure you’re okay here?” We arrivarrivedy the classroom, and I could see Asher sitting in the front row seat, b

18“Did you get the text too?” I asked Asher the moment I arrive at school. He’s sitting beside Blaine and Faye on the cafeteria. We don’t really have a class this morning because of some event in the school but we’re required to go for the attendance.“Yeah. What’s your plan? Do you accept it?” He ask as I sit beside him and pouted at Faye and Blaine who’s flirting this early in the morning.“I don’t know. It’s a big project and I doubt myself if I could do good.” I pouted.“What are you guys talking about?” Faye asked when she notice that we’re seriously talking. I bit my lips and told her the information that made her shook. “Oh my! This is good! You should go with it! And you won’t be alone because Asher will be there. Plus, you’re familiar with the set-up, you always go with Harry.” She pouted as she mention Harry’s name. I told her about my fight with Harry last week and up until now I haven’t talk to Harry yet and he doesn’t seem to be planning to talk or make it up for me as

20“You know that Harry is an ass right? He just can’t do this to you. You two are acting like children for being so immature on how you handle your relationship.”“What I did was unacceptable too, Faye. I found comfort in another man’s embrace and he witness that. I’m at fault too.”“But if you two weren’t fighting you would’ve come to him but he was being a jackass and he didn’t care why you were sad, he just care about the part where Asher was comforting you.”“You’re just saying that because we’re friends but what will you feel when you see Blaine embracing someone else too? I bet you would be hurt and think that he’s cheating on you, and that’s Harry’s perspective.” I said that made her silent.“So, what are you planning to do? Are you just going to let your relationship with him slip? Tell me, does he really matter to you? Because right now I think he’s not important, you should be worried about the happenings of your family not him. You’re experiencing family problem and that’s
