Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56I 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.

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. My eyes watered when I glanced at him once, I don't know why that was. But se

Practice ended early. It was half-day and it felt surreal that it's tommorow. I can't believe it. And it felt great when the calling time is eight in the evening. But when I recalled something, my smile immediately faded. I haven't asked what time we leave, and I hope it's not that early.I sighed at what I realized. And it didn't help that my feeling wasn't great for Alforo. The more I left, the closer he came to me. I preceded a few while arranging my belongings. And his gaze were on me, I know that.I was supposed to turn around when he called my name. I was immediately taken aback there. I checked my wristwatch as I darted my eyes at him."Ria…" his deep baritone voice made me shivered.

His eyes were weighing what's coming on me. I sucked there. And one move his eyes drifted there. So he's fucking serious huh ?!"I'm just teasing you, Alforo.

I could see the restraint in his eyes. Like it was tainted with something he shouldn't burst out, or else it will be chaotic."Do you know now his name?" his lips were in a thin line.His car stopped mid way. I never noticed that. But when I caught how his eyes shift to bloodshot I was immediately alert. I don't know boys can easily change emotion like him. Not even Klaud, but him it's like so easy."I don't, but he seems familiar." I lool away as the pain sting on me remembering that dream again.Alforo cleared his throat as he diverted his gaze on me.

That's then I realize how it's important to smile for a while. Because you never know what might happen next. To know that forcing a smile a bit where good. Cause deep within me, I know I can't do it again after this."What's your entry?" I asked Sachi.Alforo's stare at me was dry. I smirk and burst a laugh on him. His eyebrows rose there."I really don't know. I'll just support that one on beige shirt." he smiled at me.Alforo sighed there, then look at both of us."You're the one flirting, Sachi." Alforo mocked.I could see the irritation in Sachi's

The wine and liquor were there, I sighed there."What did he tell you?" aniya.I look at Demi straightly. His forehead furrowed sharply as I just stared at him. I bit my lip there. 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. Like everything was so foreign for me the whole time."Where are we?"I bit my lip at the realization. I lowered my shades and saw how the driver gaze on me.
