Chapter: Chapter 35“LOOK at that. Even her friends are avoiding her now because she’s a cheater... A liar!” She could clearly hear the murmurs around her, as soon as she stepped out of their room.Nix has probably told the guys about her secret now so none of them dared to approach her nor even tried to demand for an explanation. Maybe they were too mad to even think about that. And she kept on convincing herself that it’s alright because it was her fault anyway.She sat on the cafeteria table and ate her lunch alone while watching her friends from their usual table. She just wished she could’ve told them about it so none of these could’ve happened but thinking about the fact that this was all for her brother, she had no regrets at all.She was busy playing with her food when suddenly, someone startled her from behind. “Kace! Do you want to sit with us?” It was Stephen.“Uh... I don’t know Stephen.”“I don’t know why your friends are not talking to you but whatever it is, I want you to know that I’m sti

Chapter: Chapter 34“KASSANDRA...” She heard her brother speak whilst focusing his eyes on the road. Her mind went completely blank after what happened. She didn’t know whether she should be mad at the fact that her brother just spilled their secret out to Nix or the fact that she didn’t tell this to her friends, not even to her bestfriend.They were on their way towards the Parker’s residence which Kris insisted of doing. She realized that he was just being protective of her, but this was just too much for her to handle.“I’m sorry if I just blurted it out to her like that. She needed to know and eventually, everyone else would find out about it soon,” Kris told her.“That’s why I’m more scared just thinking about it. If Nix reacted like that, then it’d be worse if the others would know.” She leaned her head on the window pane.“Kace, we can’t hide this secret forever... Especially now that I need to closely supervise you. I can’t just let that incident happen to you again.” His face was serious and she

Chapter: Chapter 33IT has been a week since the incident happened. She has been discharged earlier than Luke but she wasn’t able to visit him in his room, not even once. After what she discovered about him having a relationship with Sophie, she felt like she should distance herself from him. They needed time for each other to patch things up, she thought.When Luke entered the room with a cast in his left hand, everyone in the room crowded him and started asking him questions about the incident. They were all so concerned about him. And though she also wanted to come up to him and ask if he’s alright, she decided to just stay still and control herself.He moved towards his chair after entertaining their classmates who just wanted to feel like they care when in fact they don’t. His first instinct was to greet Kace but then, he remembered his note to himself to stay away from her so he just shrugged it off.“Kace!” Someone called her from behind. She turned around and saw Stephen coming her way.“Hi Steph

Chapter: Chapter 32WHEN Luke woke up, he felt his head still throbbing in pain. He could vaguely remember what happened last night. But there was one thing he was sure of... Kace was there to help him. That’s when it struck him... What happened to her?He quickly tried to get up from bed, but when he moved, he realized that his hand was connected to something. Just then, he heard someone speak, “Luke, stay still. You’re at the hospital now.”He looked infront of him and saw his brother standing up. “Where’s Kace?” he immediately asked.“She’s doing fine now. She didn’t have any major injuries so don’t worry. Just rest first,” Lance answered him.“I can’t just rest. I need to see her,” he said, getting up and reaching the IV bottle.“Luke, I already told you not to get up.” Lance warned him.But he didn’t care anymore. He just wanted to see if she was really alright. He continued to get up and when he started to walk, his foot slipped. Luckily, Lance was there to catch him just in time.“You just won’t r

Chapter: Chapter 31LUKE shook his head trying to forget the awkward encounter he had with Sophie the other day. He wasn’t planning to attend class ever since that day she appeared and begged him for forgiveness. He just couldn’t stand seeing her and pretending that everything was alright. But he also didn’t want his brother to worry about him so he decided to just attend their classes and ignore the girl as long as he could.Kace couldn’t help but notice the strange behavior that Luke has been showing the past days. She couldn’t understand why he was suddenly acting cold. When she tried to approach him, he would just answer it quickly and shortly unlike before. She wanted to know what’s going on but she didn’t know how.She has been standing in the middle of the field with her classmates all lined up for the soccer drill. She hadn’t realized that it was already her turn to kick not until someone threw a ball at her. “Aww!” She rubbed her arm and turned to the culprit. It was one of her classmates who la

Chapter: Chapter 30KACE was stunned when she heard Luke mumble Sophie’s name. Did they know each other? She shouldn’t even care whether they knew each other or not but she didn’t know why it keeps on bothering her mind.She was busy answering their worksheet in Chemistry when suddenly, their teacher spoke. “Ms. Larson, you will no longer be Mr. Hansen’s lab partner from now on. Ms. Sophie Young will be his partner.”She stopped for a second trying to absorb what she just heard. Does it mean I’ll have to work alone for the project? Why did they have to do this? She sighed, knowing that she couldn’t do anything about it. “Alright sir,” she mumbled without looking at their teacher.She stood up from her seat and was about to move to another vacant table to give space for Sophie but then, someone stopped her in the arm. She turned to her side and saw that it was Luke.“Sir, we’ve already started working for our project so i don’t think the switching of lab partners is possible,” Luke suddenly said to their
