I was speechless as Sir Greg dragged me towards the President’s office. Oh gosh, how did I even get here anyway? “Come in.” I heard the President say. Sir Greg then turned to me. My eyes widened. I looked at him confusingly. “What?” I mouthed. “Go,” he mouthed back. My eyes widened in shock. What the hell?! It was his idea that we go here, and then he will push me to do this? Oh my gosh, unbelievable!“Sir-” I wasn’t able to finish my sentence when he slightly pushed me inside! Oh my gosh!“Miss Lemuel, Mr. Olivares!” President Martinez greeted. I felt like my whole body froze. I forced a smile at Dean. I heard Sir Greg clearing his throat. “Good afternoon, Mr. President.”“What brought you here? Does the council need anything?” Dean was smiling when he asked that. I felt Sir Greg turned to me but I widened my eyes at him. The brute just bit his lip to hide the ghost of a smile on his lips! Oh my gosh! I cannot believe him! “Uh it’s about the acquaintance, Mr. President. We wou
I didn’t know how I was able to survive that dinner with Sir Greg just an inch away from me. The next thing I knew, I already survived the dinner and we were back to the auditorium to resume the rehearsal and the decoration. Thank God, I was able to survive that, too. We finished at almost midnight, I think? Well, that was for the rehearsals. The Arts Club extended for some hour, I think. I wasn’t really sure because I already went to the Home Economics room right after we wrap up the run through. I was so tired already that I already wanted to sleep. Thank God, we had more sleeping beds and there were even beds for the housekeeping subjects. I’m not really sure. I settled on one single bed closest to the door. Right after I cleaned my face, I immediately slumped on the bed. I could hear the other members still chattering while I was just there staring at the ceiling. It’s just weird that I was so tired earlier, yet now my eyes couldn’t even close. Gosh. I gave out a deep sigh befor
“Oh, you’re happy.” I immediately stopped in my tracks when I heard that? “Mom?” I asked, shocked to see that my mother was actually at the front door. I just got home and I barely have how many hours already before I go back to school again. “What are you doing here? Don’t you have work?” I walked toward her and kissed her on the cheek. She just rolled her eyes and crossed her arms. “Well, I just want to check if you are indeed ready for tonight’s event.” She said with a smirk on her face. I rolled my eyes. “I’m fine, Mom. I got this,” I said, assuring her that I would be fine on my own, but then, yeah she’s my mother, so she never listened. “Oh come on, I already hired someone for your dress!” she excitedly said which made me gasp. “Mom!” I complained, but she already dragged me inside the house. The next thing I knew, I was already in front of her stylist and they were already talking about how I was going to be dressed that evening, and yes, I was robbed of my decision to cho
His soft lips nibbled mine. My sober mind was telling me to stop this nonsense, but then it was as if my lips has their own mind, and just kept on kissing the stranger. Damn it, Felice! Calm the hell down! I didn’t know for how long that kiss lasted. I tightened my grip on his nape and I felt him tighten his grip on my waist, too. I couldn’t count how many curses I had in my head already. Oh my gosh, this needs to stop! We were in the middle of the dance floor, and it’s a school ground for God’s sake!I took a deep breath and gathered all the strength that I had. I counted to three and quickly pushed him away. I even almost went down because of the impact and the people bumping me from left to right. Damn it. I held my head when I felt like my head was spinning already. I guess it was from the alcohol, the lights, and the movement of the people combined. “Hey, hey.” I felt two massive arms hugging me. I tried to look up to see who the guy was, but then he hugged me tight making me b
To say that I was shocked would be an understatement because the truth was I was beyond surprised by what he said. More importantly. I just couldn’t believe it was happening, like we confessed our feelings to each other after we almost made out on the dance floor and what’s worse on the school ground! How fucked up can that be, right? “Felice,” he called and went to me immediately when I almost fell down on my knees. My legs were like noodles. I was staring at the air blankly, still couldn’t believe this is happening. Shit. I couldn’t even count the times that I have been cursing the situation in my head already. I felt Greg assisting me because I really couldn’t feel my legs already. I felt that if I stand, I’d eventually fall. That’s how my knees were trembling. “Come here, let’s go inside.” I heard him say. The next thing I knew, we were already inside a classroom and he let me sit on the teacher’s chair while he sat on the platform. He reached out for my hand which made the
“If you’ll give me a chance, I’ll make sure every fear and pain will be worth it, Felice. It will be a rough road, but I will never give up on you. That’s the thing that I could promise.”I slowly watched his head bow down to me. Then I felt my hand being lifted until his soft lips touched the back of my palm. My mouth parted even more. I closed my eyes tight. Shit. “I will respect your decision, Felice, whatever it is, I will hold on to it.” Slowly, he looked up and met my gaze. As if on cue, I felt my heart skipping a bit the moment our eyes met. I felt my eyes watering as my emotions heightened up the moment we looked at each other in the eyes. It was as if all the emotions that I have been hiding from the moment I realized that I like him piled up. It was overwhelming me. I felt like my chest were burning up and it wasn’t because of an ailment or something, it was the prosperous emotions that I have been trying to contain this whole time. I bit my lip so hard that I could alrea
What happened that night did not left my head the whole morning the next day. We were not given a rest day or something, so we really didn’t have a choice but to go to school. It was a normal day, students were back to regular programming, but as for me, I wasn’t really sure. It didn’t feel normal at all. Damn. It wasn’t normal. I couldn’t help the smile occurring on my lips as I stared at his texts earlier. From: GregGood morning. I’ll see you later. I shook my head. I still wasn’t sure what he meant by this, I mean we’re really going to meet here in the campus? Well, I don’t know. Nevertheless, I just agreed to it. I felt light, to be honest. My heart is like floating in the air right after he drove me home last night. Gosh, I remembered having to make excuses with my Mom last night because I didn’t call our driver to fetch me. I just thank God that she didn’t ask any more details when I told her that I hitched a ride with a classmate. It was pretty chill. My situation with Gr
My week was totally fine, it was wonderful, actually. Since it was an aftermat of the midterms, our professors were usually not present, and if they are, they just gave us some readings and of course some wanted to check our scores. So far, so good. My grades were better, my love life is kind of beautiful, I was not longer a ticking time bomb. Gosh, I’ve never felt so relieved ever since Greg happened in my life. “Felice!” I quickly turned around when I heard our helper yelling. My forehead creased as I put down the book that I was reading. It was a Saturday morning and I was on our living room, reading my favorite book. It was just a chill morning for me. I got nothing to do, so I just spend my time reading. My parents were outside and they seemed to be talking about business again. Well, what’s new? “What is it?” I asked as I anticipated our helper. When she arrived in front of me, she was all smiles. Her left hand was holding a box of heart-shaped chocolate, while the right ha
