The situation is getting damn awkward, so I cannot say that I like where this is going."As much as I'd like to do that, Nick will find it very strange that I suddenly avoided him. However, if you allow me to say the real reason, then it would be much easier for him to understand things!""Trust me, it is more complicated if I talk to that bastard. Have you noticed that he avoided me? And for sure, he also backstabbed me, like what he did to other employees he was so jealous of."Now that things have gotten more complicated, I really feel like I am not going to have a good relationship with Hailey anymore. All I can do is pretend that we are still best friends. I realized the value of Nick when Hailey wanted me to avoid him."Are you still in love with Nick?" I frankly asked. "Stella, if you have fallen in love before, you should know that moving on from someone is difficult! Me and Nick were not the same on many different things, and we have other priorities, which is why our relati
Before going down, Hailey let me borrow one of her extra corporate attire in order to make me presentable when I take a picture for my passport. We headed inside the embassy, and we can see several people sitting on the bench. We looked at each other in dismay about what we had witnessed. She placed her mouth next to my ears."Let me cut the line for you!" she says with a firm voice. As someone who grows in an underdeveloped area, I know that cutting the line isn't right, so I tried stopping her. "Please don't do these! We have one whole day to wait for our turn. I think that these people have been here earlier than the other employees!" I said. She put her arms around my shoulders. "No! We will not waste time waiting with a bunch of losers. We need to prioritize your passport. Don't worry, all you can do is sit and watch me go to work!"She winked at me as if she were sure that I would prioritize. I sat on the end of the bench, and she entered the office. Everyone is glaring at H
At the edge of my sight, I could see some people glaring at us. I understand how they feel because it was unfair that they fall in line and we did not. When I stood up, Hailey sat on the bench. When I went to the picture-taking area, a man in corporate attire waved his hand, indicating that I am the next. There was a curtain in the room separating the private area where picture-taking is happening. I think that is the right thing to do since not everyone is confident enough to let others see them. In fairness, the guy who is taking the picture of me has a face. I mean to say, he is also a handsome and tall guy. He has white skin and a pointed nose. In the side view, he looks like Nick. He leaned me on the wall and then went in front of me. "Please give me your best smile!" he said. I am blushing right now and I hope that this is not over yet. After multiple shots, he took the camera off his face. "Would you like to see yourself?" he asked, smiling with his beautiful teeth out.
I was about to speak when Hailey suddenly speak again. "By the way, my dad wants you to sleep in our house one day before our trip to Japan. For now, let us go to the mall and eat our lunch. After that, we will buy you a mallet and some new clothes and other things that you need!"Right now, I still can't get over John's handsome face so I brought up his name as a topic again. "Hold on a second! I wanted to know more about John! Sorry, but I can't get his handsome face out of my mind!"Hailey started teasing me. "That must be the love you're feeling right now! I know that he is working there but I never mentioned him to you because I thought you are not like the rest of the girls whose eyes are sparkling whenever a handsome man passes by in front of them!""Can you tell me more about this John?" I asked excitedly. "Well, John once courted me way back in high school. I had a crush on him as well upon our first encounter. I guess we misinterpret love and lust because we often feel ov
We are about to go when a traffic enforcer suddenly knocked on Hailey's window. She opened it and asked the traffic enforcer."What is your problem? We are in a hurry so I can't spend time talking to somebody like you!""Hailey, please calm down!" I said as I feel we are about to be apprehended by the traffic enforcer. "Who do you think you are to stop your car in the middle of the road? Have you seen that you caused a traffic at your back?"I turned my gaze at the back and I saw that there were cars who stopped as well. I could see that Hailey raised her eyebrow at the traffic enforcer. "Are you fucking stupid? It is my fault that they did not take over? The road is damn wide so I don't think that I am responsible with them!" Hailey exclaimed. "Please Hailey, you need to calm down otherwise things will get worse!"Hailey looked at me. "No Stella, we are not the bad guys here! We did nothing wrong!"I kept my mouth shut for a while. I can see in Hailey's eyes that she's already en
When I started twerking in front of the two traffic enforcer, every car that passes by suddenly stopped. Hailey peeked through the window and she was laughing at me. "What the fuck is happening to you, Stella? Have you lost your mind. That's really hilarious!" she said, followed by a loud laugh. "Sis! I am doing all of this because of you!"Hailey suddenly opened her camera and takes video of me. Since I am no longer shy, I looked at her camera and dance harder. "Come on! Dance more!" she cheered me up. The traffic enforcer who was about to apprehend us looked at Hailey. "Alright, unless you dance like her I will give you a violation ticket!"Before Hailey could speak up, I opened the door of her car and dragged her down. "Sis, I would rather humiliate myself in front of everyone than to be humiliated in front of your dad. I know that you're not really into this but given the complicated situation, all we can do is to act like stupid and dance!"I opened my phone and played a mu
I played Taylor Swift's song and we both dance like crazy inside Hailey's car. It was indeed the most highlight of this day. It took 30 minutes before we arrived at the mall. Hailey and I went to the most famous restaurant in the Philippines. Hailey and I fall in line and while waiting for our turn, we are both looking at the menu."What would you like to order? One piece chicken? Spaghetti? Burger steak or all of them?"I was craving this time and I decided not to be shy anymore. "Hailey, can we order all of them? I am seriously craving right now and I think I can finish eating all of those food in less than 20 minutes!""Are you sure about that? How about your weight?""Weight does not matter to me anymore. All I want is to eat food. Diet is not something I am really concern about so there is nothing to worry about!""Okay! Let me take care of ordering. Please find a place to eat!"I easily found a table on the corner side. It is good for two people and the table is long enough, s
"Congratulations! Studying is so difficult!""I agreed with that," said Ashley. "My dad is really working hard to send me to school and we don't have enough money to pay for my tuition fee!""I also had the same issues with you! However, have you tried asking some of your possible classmates or anyone in your school regarding that? When I was still in college, I had not pay a single scent for my tuition fee. I only paid for extra curricular activities and field trips!""But I think it depends on the school and course that you will take. Nursing requires a lot of trainings and medical equipment for us to have a better education. I even tried asking anyone in the school and they said that my school has never granted full scholarship and yet once you graduated, they will make sure that you land a job!""Is it okay to ask how much is your tuition fee?" "My tuition fee is around 50,000 for one semester. I almost searched for possible school with affordable tuition fee and they are the one
