Semua Bab My Badboy Knight: Bab 151 - Bab 160

‘The worst part of holding the memories is not the pain. It's the loneliness of it. Memories need to be shared.’ —LOIS LOWRY LEO A little smile spreads on her face, but it does not reach her eyes, which are now looking distant. “Tasha is one of the kindest souls I have ever met in my life.” She continues. “We became best friends towards the end of our fourth grade in high school, and she was always there for me. She even gave me the opportunity to get to know her and her mother, and frankly, I was shocked to my bones the day she first invited me to her house and I saw for myself how close and carefree she was with her mum. They talked like besties, something that I have never experienced with my mum, and that same day, when I got back home, I began questioning everything. That was when I began seeing the loopholes and the cracks in the relationship I had with my mom, but I was like, ‘Tasha’s mum is different from my mum. Everyone's mum is not made to be the same.’ So, I just stu

‘Freedom is priceless.’ –UnknownDIANEMONDAYI wake up with a soft groan to the annoying but loyal sound of my alarm, my ever conscious time reminder. I cup my mouth as I yawn, tossing from one side to the other on my bed.After that tense, emotionally charged conversation I had with Leo on Saturday morning, he left to go see his best friend Ren, and I worked on expanding the concept of the game. Throughout the entire time I spent on the character sketches, I kept feeling so relieved. So featherweight. Leo really paid attention to me throughout the entire session that I just kept talking and talking, and even though I later got caught up in the moment and tried to kiss him, he pulled me back to my fucking senses, despite the clear indication I saw written all over his face showing that he wanted to kiss me too.But I am glad it did not happen. He saved me from complicating things between us. It is funny how I am the one who almost tried to mess up our agreement that I instituted in t

DIANEMy classes for today just keep dragging on and on. During the short breaks in between, Crystal and I tried using the time to discuss a bit about how far each of us has gone in sketching the characters individually for the game competition. I am so glad that Crystal is my partner. She is so serious with this.Eventually, Crystal and I, with the rest of the other students, survive the last class for the day. To be honest, the only thing that kept me going through them all was the pleasure of distracting myself with my mind wandering off to Leo from time to time. During those times, the lecturers’ voices just fade away, becoming a mere low echo to my ears and inside my mind.I didn't care. Afterall, I still branched out once in a while and caught onto some important things that were taught. Now that classes are over, Crystal and I leave the classroom, and unlike before, Dante didn't disappoint us today again by not coming to school. He is in school today, and on our way walking to

DIANE I finally pull away from Crystal, my cheeks still aching from the lingering smile on my face. Her happiness is contagious, and I wish I can continue riding that wave with her. But there is a heavy thud inside my chest. Leo. Thoughts of him keep looming in the back of my mind, tangling up my thoughts and messing everything inside my head. Before I can drift too far into my own head, Dante shows up behind us. The way his eyes immediately seek out Crystal, the way his stupid Italian smile spreads across his face—it's adorable, actually. I raise an eyebrow, giving him a sly look. “Mr Lover boy is finally here.” I whisper quietly for Crys to hear only, nudging her. She is really trying (and failing) to suppress her own blushing smile on seeing Dante. I feel as single as fuck right now. “Hey ladies. Sorry I’m late.” His stupid smile is still there even as he speaks, not dimming even for a bit. “Late?” I scoff. “You’re just in time, Dante.” I say, standing up from the bench. I

DIANEI feel like shrinking into whatever invisible shell I can fucking find on planet Earth.My chest is tightening, my heart thudding loudly as Leo just stands there at the door, our eyes locked on each other. There is something in his gaze, something sharp and unreadable.But it is gone just as quickly as it appeared.He walks towards Crys and I before dipping his hand into the basket. His attention flicks away from me as he gives Crystal's soda to her.“Here you go.” He offers it to her, his voice gentle and warm despite the slight edge I sense in it.“Thank you Leo.” Crys accepts the soda from him. When he offers me a bottle of water from the basket, I take the drink from him without meeting his eyes, my heart still pounding in my chest. His hand brushes mine for the briefest moment, and it feels like a jolt of electricity shoots through me, making it impossible to focus on anything.I am really screwed.Leo moves away to settle on a spare seat near Dante, and Crys opens her soda
