I was surfing the internet when I discovered that one could actually have college classes online. Excited about this, I immediately registered for my course online, which means I have to be on my phone for four hours every day, and if I successfully achieve that, then I am a full college student just as every girl or boy who attends classes physically.I am also happy because it will take my mind off things, and I also decided that I would keep it away from Logan and everyone else…except Tia, of course. Let the world think that they have succeeded in stopping me from being a college graduate. Let my classmates feel that they have succeeded in pushing me away from school, but I will throw them all into a state of shock when all of this is over.I took my notepad and started to write about my routine for the day. I would go for a run every morning, have coffee when I get back, shut myself in for four hours and attend my class, have food, take a nap, read a book, watch a show online-one

Riley applied some sunscreen lotion and lay bare on her patio as she sipped on a glass of cocktail. It has been an interesting week for her, and she could not be happier.Logan has opened his arms to her in desperate need of a reliable shoulder to lie on, and her friendship with Leah is taking a different turn now. She sighed and smiled.Things are really looking good now. She has always been a fighter for what she truly wants. Resilience and persistency have been her driving force over the years, and she is glad that she also demonstrated that zeal with Logan and his intolerable sister, which of course, is gradually paying off for her.Her only concern now is how to get invited to the Secretary-elect’s party which is just in a couple of days. They did not uninvited Alice, and she wonders why considering the girl is a bloody peasant with no poise and class, and an absolute disgrace to the society.She had tried to get an invite, but then, if you did not get an invitation when it was

Logan’s POVThe waitress has just left my room after serving me lunch when the door opened again and Ethan and Leah strolled in. I thought it was Riley, and I already had the perfect excuse as to why I cannot spend time with her this evening already; she has been visiting me awfully too much, and I am becoming bored of her presence.“The queen finally decides to pay a wrecked man a visit,” I jested, flashing a fake grin at Leah. “And the tireless Ethan,” I said to Ethan.“You look a mess, Logan,” Leah said pitifully, then she turned to Ethan and said, “Does he take his bath?”“I don’t know. I think I should stay here with him so that I can tie him up and take him to the bathroom for a good wash every day,” Ethan responded without any humor.Leah did not bother to apologize. “What have you been doing with yourself?” she asked me.“Spending the whole day by my pool and getting roasted by the sun,” I responded and flashed yet another grin.“You look ridiculous exposing your teeth like th

I did not know what exactly to expect at the Secretary-elect of the country success party, but it certainly is not so much class and affluence and elegance stuffed in one event. The flashing lights from bloggers are blinding quite alright, but I could still catch sight of prominent people. In fact, Tia did not lie when she said it was the party of the year, only that she did not express well enough. All of Tia’s descriptions and words and gestures cannot capture the enormity of the sight before me.“Relax, you are just as important as everyone else here,” Logan whispered into my ears, his breath sending warmth into my being. “And learn to smile. The camera’s are all over us,” he added.I opened my shaking lips and forced a smile which I am very sure that if the fucking press paid close attention, they would notice.While we awaited people who came before us taking their stand and snaps on the red carpet, I felt Logan’s hand slide around my waist and rested on the lower part of my wai

Logan held my hand gently yet firmly as he led me to the dance floor. Other couples also joined in the dance as the soft and slow music started to play.“I haven’t danced before,” I told Logan. I had to tell him. The look of admiration in his eyes is just too intense, and since the evening has started out wonderfully well, I would really hate to ruin it.“Not to worry, Alice. Just follow my steps,” Logan said and I nodded.Closing my eyes, I allowed my feet follow Logan’s sway diligently. He locked eyes with mine, and it was as though there is no one else in the entire room safe for both of us. It was like a Cindarella story, only that I am the lucky princess in this story.Or unlucky…But now is not the time to feel unlucky, and so I closed my eyes to enjoy the moment. The music stopped after a while, and I smiled happily.“Do you want to sit down?” Logan asked with so much concern in his eyes.“No,” I said, my heart almost bursting out with joy. “I am doing alright,” I assured him.
