Semua Bab The Charmer and the Beast: Bab 21 - Bab 30

I have done a lot of pieces ever since I joined our school publication before. I've written poems, articles, reviews, and other things that can be put in paper that would get the interest of the readers. When I became the Editor-in-chief, I did pretty much all the work- from assigning my members topics, relaying our adviser's messages to our members, editing the pieces my members submitted, and finalizing everything so we can submit our compiled works for print up.I was never into socializing but being the school paper's Editor-in-chief gave me the opportunity to lead. Even if it didn't help with my being introverted, I can say I've learned something from leading. I can say it's not the best, but it's not the worst either.When Sean, Taylor, and I decided to wrap up our stay at the café, I was a little bit all over the place because I'll be going to the office later. Although I believe it was still early so I just decided to go back to the dorm with Taylor to rest for a bit. I need t

If I look back at my past social events, I wouldn't find myself surrounded with a lot of people, much less hanging out with a huge crowd. It's always just me, or me and my sisters, or me and my family, or me and my very few friends. I've never hung out with almost 15 people. That's already a lot for me. While we were waiting for our orders, I was dreading the time it would all arrive. Because that would mean they will start to ask me questions and I'm not sure if I can answer all of them. I hope it won't be too personal or offensive. I wish it will all just be fun and games, something that won't make me want to hide somewhere. While we're at it, I texted Taylor and told her I'll be having dinner with the Weekly Mirror team. She even expressed her concern and asked if I could handle it. She knows I'm not into this kind of huge crowd. But I told her not to worry. She even left me a message that made me smile. Text me if you're getting out of place or if you're feeling uncomfortable,

For the first time since I entered college, I didn't feel any annoyance towards Flint. I'm not sure if this vexation has already stopped or if it was just on pause. Nevertheless, I was quite glad I didn't have to be cautious about seeing him. Last night when I went back to our room from the lobby, I felt at peace. Taylor was even smiling at me when I entered. I asked her why she didn't come down, and she said she just had other things to do. I didn't try to make it a big deal and just proceeded to bed. And just this morning, I have this weird feeling that I can conquer everything. I'm not usually positive. In fact, I'm usually anxious, especially when I have to enter my first class of the day. I have this weird thought that I'll mess up. But surprisingly, this morning was different. I was so full of energy that when I greeted Sean wh

I was excused from going to the office today because, right after my classes, was the show that I had to see. So after my classes, I bade goodbye to Sean. He even reminded me of the dinner we're gonna have later. His other friends would be there and he said he'd introduce us to them. I just nodded. I'll just mind that later. There is another thing I have to mind first at this moment. I hurried to the AVR to catch the show. I was told it was kind of delayed so I'm not gonna miss anything. When I got there, the venue was already quite full. It was a paid show and we had to purchase a ticket to actually see the show. But in our case, since we're part of the school publication, we were given free passes. I was kind of uneasy because of the flowing crowd. I don't know any of these people. I'm basically alone and I don't like it.

This is probably the time when I can say that fate is really playing tricks on me.Upon seeing Flint and his family, I quickly looked away and tried to calm myself. I don't want to believe this is really happening. It couldn't be true, right?I tried to peek at their table again and confirmed it's really him! And he's with Nathalia! And his entire family, I suppose.Earlier, we were just talking in the dormitory lobby. I remember he said he's going to attend some family gathering. But no way in hell did I ever think he'll be having that family gathering at the same hotel where we checked in. I doubt that Flint would come here specifically because I'm here. I remember not telling him the exact name of the hotel!"I told you, it's really him," Dahlia whispered. I tried to widen my eyes at her so she would shut up. I don’t want my mom or dad knowing about Flint.But upon looking at Mom, there was something different in her. She kept on holding the ring on her finger.“Are you okay, Mom?”
