ChantriaBecause of Chanel's rage and crying, I voluntarily left the room. I asked dad to place me in a different room. And even though he hesitated, he didn't do anything to persuade me.He said we should calm down Chanel's anger first. But I know, this time, that her anger won't stop anytime soon. The only thing that can stop her anger towards me is if Carleigh comes back. And I wish she would.I don't know what to do without her. I don't know if I can live without her. I love her. I miss her. And I can't imagine a world without Carleigh in it.While lying in my hospital bed, I couldn't help but overthink. What if I'm the one who died and not Carleigh? Maybe everything would be okay for them, especially for Chanel. She really should inherit the company. She also has a dream that she can do any time after inheriting dad's company. Even though she is old, she can still do that.What about me? I don't even know what to do with my own life. Even if I don't inherit dad's company, it's no

ChantriaWhen I got out of the car, I faced Iwatani. He frowned again while looking at me. I guess I need to get used to it because this one looks normal. I couldn't help but remember Joaquin from him. The difference is that he is mestizo and this one is brown."We haven't formally met," I said to Iwatani before extending my hand. "I'm Seanne. And you are?"He looked at me very coldly. It's as if his every gaze penetrates. This one is not serious as dad said. He is grumpy."I know. You already know my name. You don't need to introduce yourself and so do I. I'm here to watch over and protect you, not to make friends."My lips parted because of what he said. I couldn't believe what I heard. He's rude!"It's not like I want to be friends with you! I just want to get to know each other because from now on, whether you like it or not, we're going to be together. If you don't want me to get to know you, then fine! Well, don't." I couldn't help but snort. No one has ever been rude to me like

ChantriaOnly then did I stop walking and take a deep breath. I didn't pay attention to Iwatani who was just looking at what I was doing.I know that he has a lot of questions right now. It's either he didn’t want to ask or he just didn’t care about what he witnessed. It was better because I didn't want him to ask more questions. Maybe what happened in the past was just a relic. I didn't want him to see me weak every time I talk about what happened."Let's take a rest," he said. "We can go on tour another day."I immediately nodded. Honestly, I should have asked him to come home earlier. The campus was too wide and I admit I was tired. I'm not fit enough to continue touring. And one more thing, I still had a lot of time to tour the campus even though it was already school days."Anyway," I said, "are we classmates?" We started walking to the parking lot. We were just next to each other and there was a little distance between us."Yeah."I nodded. "I still thought I had privacy in the

ChantriaI'm so bored listening to our adviser and the rules to be followed in class. He just kept saying it over and over as if we were elementary students who couldn't understand right away.Not to mention, what he says is what we as his students are really expected to do, so why do we need to repeat it again and again? I couldn't do anything other than sit down at my desk and stare into nothingness."Listen," Iwatani whispered."I already know what he's saying. Aren't you bored? We should have started class. Time is wasted."Iwatani just sighed and said nothing. He was the only one who listened for the two of us even though I know he's heard it over and over before. I don't understand the need to listen to this all the time. Almost all the following subjects said this.I turned my attention to the man whose name I just learned. Since the two transferees and I introduced ourselves in front, I found out that he was Gab Guanzon.I just raised an eyebrow at him because I noticed that h

ChantriaWhen we arrived at the gym, there were a lot of people. According to him, many people come here in the afternoon. In the morning, there were only a few. After all, our class is at ten o'clock, I told him it's fine with me if we just go in the morning.That's better because I can't spend the night here. I'd rather wake up early than sleep late."Stretch your body first," said Iwatani. "Then you lift light weights. First, we need to warm up your body. When was the last time you lifted?”I didn't know how he knew I was lifting but I didn't ask. "Three or four months ago?" I answered questioningly."Really?""Yeah, I know. It's been a long time since I stopped. I thought it won't be useful anymore.” I just shrugged because I know it was my fault. No need to rub it on my face."Okay. We'll start from scratch. Let me know when you're done so I can guide you. I'll just talk to Coach Jay."I watched him as he jogged towards the owner of this gym. He’s also a coach here and it looks l
