I let him in first. Maybe to conceal what's running on my thoughts. And knowing where both alone here where out of my perception. I almost jumped when he suddenly turned to me.
"Startled huh?" aniya.
I looked up irritably. His lips rose when our eyes met.
"Why are you suddenly looking around!" I pinpoint.
"Just move and find your first aid kit," I look away.
"So I can treat that." my voice was small.

I sighed when his eyes scanned me. I could hardly breathe there. Especially with the two of us getting closer now. The side of his lips lifted watching me. My eyebrows rose at what I saw."I said don't spread your legs, Alforo." I glared at him.A playful smile appeared on his lips. I rubbed the cotton on his chin forcefully, teasing him back."What, it hurts?" asik ko.He chuckled a bit there. The look he gives me is confusing. I looked at him insultingly. His brows furrowed at my sight. I was immediately alarmed there."No," he smirk playfully.I sneezed and averted my eyes from him."Intimidate? I thought you were going to treat me?" aniya.My eyes widened as I focused on him. The image of Alforo watching me this close almost felt surreal. My heart pounded heavily for him eyeing me."What ?! I'm not intimidated by you," I stop mid-way."Your thickness, Alforo." where I am

I shut my eyes tightly. I don't want to recall Alforo watching me closely, like he's too much awe holding me close. I put aside my thoughts as Mommy's eyes sharply criticized me."Who delivered you, Ria?" Mommy uttered as I eyed her.I bit my lip as his eyes met mine. She's not very vocal to boys or to my lovelife, that's why she asked me a question."Uhmm, Klaud cousin, My…" I said swiftly.I saw his forehead frown immediately at me. Daddy eyes were on me now. It's Sunday and we're totally together here on our dining. Often, if they do not do much. I sighed knowing it."Who, Ria?" Daddy concluded.

I sighed and still walk away. My feelings got worse and it's been doubled. I was almost taken aback by the nervousness of realizing who was there. It's Klaud and his girl I don't familiar. Maybe transferee, but still I'm not fond of seeing him anymore. I'm so conscious especially when his eyes hit me.I saw the pity of his lips for a moment. Like he's not expecting me to see here around. But I didn't mind it. I was silent as I headed to the library. And of course, sitting on the chair far from them."Can you help me here, Klaud?" I heard in the distance what he said."Uhmmm, of course."I sighed there. I don't know why his eyes are still sore. But when I glanced back at him, he immediately avoided. I sighed and did not turn to them. I don't know why I don't feel anything for him anymore, depriv

I don't know why my heart ache for a moment. I barely know where my feelings are coming from. And why I felt there's a part of my system riffing at what I heard. I looked up at Alforo. I could see hope springing up in his eyes, but it faded immediately."Here are your chances, Alforo." I said."Voice it out, in one minute." I stated coldly.His lips parted there. He eyed me intently as he step closer. Trembling rumbled in my chest but I did not notice it. I conceal it, even though my chest hurts at him."Thank you…" he said awful.I averted my gaze there. He's like fucking dumb whispering it. I can hardly believe that he is doing this now. Like it's too surreal happening. Like a trance, illusion."You're running out of time, Alforo."

The next day was always like that. I only responded to Alforo if he opened up a topic. I haven't seen Klaud yet, and I'm distancing myself from him now. Even though I know it is inevitable."You want drinks?" he chuckled boyishly.I turned to him for a moment. Just finished practice in the cottillion, but he's here now. Even though I knew he was far from me.Demi whistled at me. I didn't mind her. I irritatedly turned my eyes to Alforo. He only eyed me like there's nothing wrong with his move after all."Will you buy me?" I said frankly.His brow shot up, and leer at me. I sneezed for a moment there."Yes, orange juice?" he asked.My eyes widened there, I did not expect him to predict what I wanted. Not that he didn't st

I scanned my notes after the practice. Though when Alforo watched me I immediately closed it. Alforo's eyebrows rose at what he saw of me. "Need help in that subject?" aniya. I shook my head and finally closed it. I'm just reading and assessing myself for the incoming exam. And I'm quite thankful I studied it whole. Especially since the prom is near. "No need, I just scanned it." I smiled. He chuckled there. His eyes were long on me, and I let that go. Even I don't feel comfortable in many times, but I just ignored it and just ignored it. "If you need help, I can tutor you in that one." he winked at me. I went home there. I noticed the arrival of Demi and Alforo's other friends. I greeted them with a smile and rolled my eyes on Demi.

"My lines got cut, My."It was then a fine dinner, but the confusement arise on me. Mommy's eyes met mine especially. I didn't expect her demeanor at me. And her expression didn't change a bit. It's just calm like she expected it for me."Yes hija. We cut it."My eyebrows rose there. I turned to Daddy, and he just nodded at me seriously."What for?" I questioned curiously.Mommy didn't answer me right away. He lowered the cutlery while gently staring back at me."You can't use that anymore, hija."&nb

I chased my breath as I finally ran away from Alforo. Why he's not uttering it straightly to me? Like he is hiding something from me. I saw him follow me. But I didn't give him the chance to walk towards me, or to reached me."Ria." his voice hoarse when he stated my name.I averted my eyes there. It was as if something touched my chest as he watched me walk away. His eyes were screaming sadness, the way he looked at me. It express sorrow, and the evident were almost his bloodshot eyes. I bit my lip there. Lately, I've been realizing how I'm affecting by his simple stare and it's my bad for letting him near at me.I kept turning my back on him.

I eyed my phone, and it's dead."What?" she asked curiously."What time is it, Demi?" I chuckled.My chest felt like a drum with excitement. I sighed when I heard I left one hour more.

I was sleep through all unrelenting thoughts. Alforo stared at me, as I watched him too long. My heart skipped a bit when I noticed how I'm still intimidated by him. It seems just like before. But the different is noticeable. I can't quite tell it in urgent but I know it changed a bit.I did not smile. I closed my eyes firmly before looking away. I was cold there.

I didn't know that coming this back would be so much painful. I sneezed as everyone turned around. The scenery changed here a lot. My chest tightened as I noticed a few changes as I descended. Rina offered me a stay in a hotel and I agreed with it too. Although I would love to go back to Villa Sierra. I'n not sure if our house were so haunted now. I don't want to think that it looks like that.The image of it lingers on my mind when I heard a taxi. At first I was stiffened at the thought of it. I'm not used to it.
