Tulip’s Pov“You finally came out,” Clara said when she saw me walking toward where she was seated.“I wasn’t going to spend forever in there,” I laughed as I sat beside her.“I know, but you took quite some time,” she admitted. “Anyway, how was your meeting with him?”“It went well,” I replied. “We talked about the party planned after the competition.”“There’s going to be a party?”“I just said so,” I answered. “We finalized it today and it’s happening in two days.”“Damn,” she exclaimed. “I’m definitely not missing that party.”“You don’t even need to say it. I already decided you’re coming with me,” I said.“So you can’t attend parties without me, huh?” she joked.“You can stay home if you want,” I replied with a smirk, then giggled.“You know that’s impossible,” she said. “Besides, where’s the venue?”“Here in school, by 6 p.m.,” I answered.“Is there a dress code?” she asked.“Yes. Ladies in red gowns, men in white suits,” I replied. “Masks too.”“That party is going to be craz

Tulup’s Pov“This was the least I expected from you, Tulips,” the principal said angrily as we arrived at his office.“I am sorry, Sir,” I replied.He hissed through his teeth.“I brought you all here to avoid discussing the whole situation out there,” he said.Immediately, he turned his gaze to Danzo.“From what they’ve narrated, I am sorry, but if you don’t try to defend yourself, you will be punished immediately for kidnapping,” he spoke with authority.“Sir, it hasn’t gotten to that extent,” Danzo finally spoke, almost in tears. “I am sorry for the scene outside, but trust me, I wasn’t in my right mind when I did all of this.”“Sir, please don’t involve the school authorities,” he pleaded.“Oh, please, enough with those fake emotions,” Clara hissed.She was about to continue, but the principal stopped her.“Hey, be quiet, please,” the principal commanded, and she stayed silent.By the tone of his voice, I felt scared and exhausted from the situation. All I wanted was to go home,

Tulip’s Pov “This party is going to be lit,” I shouted over the music as soon as Clara and I walked into the hall.“I know, right?” Clara replied, already moving softly to the beat. “The DJ didn’t come to play tonight.”The hall was alive. Colored lights flashed across the walls, bouncing off sequined dresses, polished shoes, and bright smiles. Students were dressed in their best—some elegant, some bold, others playful—but everyone looked happy. Some danced wildly near the stage, others sat around tables laughing and talking, while a few took pictures to capture memories they’d probably post later. Clara grabbed my wrist. “Come on, let’s get closer.”We moved through the crowd, laughing and dodging people until we found a spot with a clear view of the stage.Moments later, the principal walked up, and the hall erupted in applause.“It’s a beautiful day we’ve all waited for,” he began, his voice filling the room. “Tonight isn’t just about music and celebration, but about appreciat

Xavier’s Pov “Cheers to one family!” my aunt shouted, raising her glass.“Cheers!” we all echoed, the sound of laughter and clinking glasses filling the room. I watched my dad smile nervously at me, and for the first time in years. It wasn’t just the celebration—it was the effort, the thought, the intent.After spending a few moments with my dad and aunt, laughing over childhood stories and teasing memories I had almost forgotten, I finally turned toward Tulips and Clara. “Hey, I’m glad to see you here,” I said, extending my hand toward Tulips with a smile.She shook it, but her eyes sparkled with amusement. “You look happy,” she teased. “Are you sure it’s not just the surprise?”“It’s a bit of both,” I admitted, my gaze lingering on her. She looked so beautiful that I almost forgot to breathe.“Can you stop staring already?” she laughed, tilting her head slightly, trying to hide her blush.“It’s not a crime to admire someone this beautiful,” I said, grinning. “Thank you so much fo

Xavier’s Pov After dropping Oliver at the airport the next morning, a quiet stillness settled over the house. The absence of his usual chatter and energy left the rooms feeling emptier than usual, and I realized just how much his presence had become a part of my daily rhythm. I shook my head and tried to push it away. Today wasn’t about him; today was about something else entirely. Tulips was coming over, and I was determined to make tonight special.I headed straight to my room with a plan in mind. Over the past week, I had been thinking of ways to make this dinner perfect, and now was the time to put it all into action. I bought roses, lilies, and other colorful flowers to make the room vibrant yet cozy. Candles, I decided, would add a warm, soft glow to the room. I even found some fairy lights and strung them around the windows and walls.“I really do hope she loves this,” I muttered to myself as I arranged the last bouquet on my desk.I hung a banner on the wall with the word
