Marian watched the car drive off. It was her first time conversing with any of her professors outside the lecture room. She was happy that he got to talk to her, "He's calm but nosy," she laughed and continued to her dorm.The following week Marian woke up as early as 6 am looking for what to wear, she didn't understand why she did that, but she decided to go for it since she was already up, she put on a pink Jordan with her black coat. She had only two coats, brown and black. Marian had a spot where she would sit and drink coffee before heading for lectures. Today she sat there looking without buying any coffee. Carried away in thought, she hadn't seen Logan enter the cafe, and when he saw her, he smiled.A minute after buying coffee, he approached her. "Marian?" He called, dropping a cup of coffee on the table. Marian looked out the window, lost in her thought, "Marian?" He tapped, and just then, she looked at him."Oh, my goodness!" She looked around and immediately covered her m

It was a long day at school. Marian returned to her dormitory after a pleasant conversation with Logan. He wasn't so bad to talk to, and she loved his scent and his eyes the most. It made her smile as she approached her dorm.Her birthday was in a few days after, she suddenly remembered, the cafe down the street offered a job, she said she was going to take a look but had forgotten."Tomorrow," she said as she climbed the stairs to her room. She had enough savings. The door opened, "Marian!" Ruby threw the book at her, Marian dodged, and the book landed outside. She looked back at Ruby.Ruby Hans— Her roommate, Ruby, had ginger hair and deep blue eyes. Her hair was packed in a messy ponytail, and she wore white shorts and a pink top."What?" She asked in a low tone."How dare you mess up the room?" Ruby glared at her. Marian sighed and closed the door after her."I was in a hurry, and I had to look-" "Hurry? I returned, and the whole room was so messy. Are you insane!" Ruby yelled.

"Mr Noel would like to offer you a place to stay," she let out. "Miss River?"Marian scoffs and turns around, holding her head. Then it hit her. How did he know about her situation?"Wait!" She turned back, and he stood firmly with the lady she didn't even know. "How did you know -" "My assistant got some information about you," he said bluntly, leaving her speechless. Seeing she had not said anything, he continued, "It's a very comfortable apartment and one of the best in the Philippines," "It's the W's apartment," Grace said, and Marian choked instantly, the W's apartment? This apartment was meant for millionaires, celebrities, and much more... Not people like her, but that wasn't her problem right now, "So -" Mr Noel was about to speak."You asked your assistant to run a background check on me?" She said following a small laugh, "Is this something you did for the whole student? I don't understand, ain't you are my professor - why would you -" "Grace, excuse me," he said, "Alri

Marian looked shocked. How was a professor able to afford this much? "Marian, won't you come in?" Marian watches him enter. From that day, he became part of her life. Not only did he come every day, but he stayed as long as possible. She decided to take a break from school for a week. She wasn't mentally stable and had no solution for her case. Whenever he had a class, he wouldn't come over and promise her he would come that night. They had already gotten close in a week. Marian sat outside waiting for him to come that night. She gazed at the bright sky that shone on her face, and she took a sip from the orange drink she was drinking. She could hear people dancing and singing on the streets, the smell of Christmas had already gotten more muscular, and there were about to go on break for the season. Marian looked at the gate every five seconds. She wondered when he would show up. It was already four pm, and he hadn't come. She stood up from the chair to head inside when the gate

"I lied, I still want you, who wouldn't?" she smile at his face giving him a peck on the lips. "Vanessa" he raises his head."See you soon" she unlocks the car door. Logan looked at her not knowing what he was going to do with her, he knows what Vanessa is like. ____________________________________ "Marian!" Gabby slurred. "Ya!, I have had enough drinks I'm going home" "Come on, we said we are going to my place this night" "I miss him" she cries. "Marian!" they both shouted on the streets. "Yah come on you can't go back to him" "I wanna ask him something" she drops to the ground. "He can't be married" people around look at the both of them. They were both wasted. "I'm going, Marian!" Gabby gets tired. Marian sat on the floor, her chest was heavy she didn't know where to start from, she looked at her bag it was open, her dress was too short, you could even see her underwear. This was Marian falling in love, she didn't know how to tell him she loved him, the
