Once Joanna had gone, Liliana grabbed Tania's hand. "We're going to head out too, okay?"Sean watched them with narrowed eyes but said nothing and merely watched them walk away.Seeing Liliana's erratic steps, a flicker of anger crossed Sean's calm gaze.Haha!She was walking really fast. Was she trying to avoid getting mad?She had taken the words he once told her to heart and followed them to the letter.Sean looked down, his eyes catching the glint of tiny, shiny things on the ground. He bent over and picked them up.A flicker of color passed through his deep, dark eyes, but it was gone as quickly as it came.Liliana did not lead Tania very far before finding a quiet spot to sit. Puzzled by Liliana's sudden reaction, Tania noticed that Liliana seemed distracted. She frowned. "Liliana, what's wrong with you? And what about earlier...""I'm okay, really. The show's about to start, right? It's a chance of a lifetime. We can't miss it!" Liliana said, nodding towards the stage.

Liliana was usually the shy type, except when she was with her bestie Tania. She had never met anyone as bold as Keith before.She did not know how to tell Keith she was not interested, but Tania thought Liliana's life was too boring. Liliana did not have many friends besides Tania, so Tania encouraged her to hang out with Keith.Liliana did not say yes, but she did not say no to Keith hanging around either.They were not dating, but Keith was super nice. He always seemed to know what Liliana needed, even before she did.One day, when things were slow at the office, Liliana needed to stop by the school. There was some survey going on between departments.She and Tania had signed up for extra classes to get more credits, but they quickly grew overwhelmed. Liliana had come to school today to fill out a survey. She first stopped by the director's office to discuss her tutoring sessions. Since Tania was not there, Liliana ended up doing Tania's survey too. By the time she was done w

Liliana blushed as Keith and a few roommates watched her. "Sorry, I'll just be a moment...""You really can’t come?” Keith asked.Keith had not mentioned his feelings to Liliana for a while, but he had not given up. He thought Liliana was a great girl, and he had decided she was the one for him. He had been doing everything he could to make her happy.Liliana felt really confused by Keith's hopeful look. She remembered Sean's face and his distant voice. That was the first time she felt so unsure. She remembered Tania's advice to give Keith a chance. With a helpless smile, Liliana thought she should give herself a chance with someone new too.If she stayed stuck on Sean, she would only end up hurting herself. However, she did not really like Keith that way, and she did not want to be unfair to him by using him to forget someone else.Keith did not know what was going on in Liliana's head. He just hoped she would accept him. Even if he could not be her boyfriend right now, he wanted

"Keith, I love you!"In the end, the computer science team won by a landslide and beat the medical team.Keith was the hero, hoisted up and tossed in the air by his teammates as they all celebrated the big win.Liliana watched as Keith's team clinched the victory and could not help but feel joy for them. Keith, beaming with pride, immediately waved at Liliana. "Liliana, we did it!"With a gentle smile, Liliana nodded. "Yeah, I saw. You guys were amazing!""Hey Liliana, hang on a sec," Keith called out, his smile as wide as the sky. "The guys and I are going out to celebrate with some food. You've got to come with us!"Not wanting to dampen his spirits, Liliana agreed with a simple, "Sure.""Awesome! Just wait. We'll go get changed first."As Keith and his teammates headed off to change, Liliana began to gather her things. The stands were emptying out, and she pulled out her phone to see a call from Tania. She pressed the answer button, but before she could utter a word, a sud

Sean's gaze on Keith was intense, and his eyes seemed to grow deeper.He rubbed his hands together, looking calm on the outside. However, those who knew Sean well could tell that was when he was at his most dangerous right now.Keith finished talking, and Sean stayed quiet, but his eyes flickered with something unspoken.Tania had been watching Sean and Keith the whole time. She found Sean's reaction to Liliana's situation odd—it was not the simple concern of an upperclassman for an underclassman.However, Tania knew this was not the time for questions. When Sean got up, she followed suit. "Sean, I can't thank you enough for today. Without you, who knows if Liliana could have had her surgery!"Tania was sincere in her gratitude. Sean just gave a small frown and nodded. "I did what I had to do."After Liliana's surgery, she was moved to a regular room. Tania and Keith kept vigil by her bed, never leaving her side.Outside the hospital room, Sean's deep gaze lingered on the two
