SunnyThey are all looking at me. What is happening? Why are the students looking at me as I enter our school? I did not cause any trouble for our school, right? Why does it feel like I did?"Oh my gosh, Sunny. Good thing you are here now," Shiela said when I entered our room. "Have you seen your jerk ex-boyfriend's post and his ugly new girlfriend's comment?" she asked.I shook my head. "No. I unfriended Jake after we ended our relationship. Why?" I asked back.Why am I getting nervous? Shiela looks like she is hesitating to tell me the reason. "Why, Shiela? Did something happen?" I gathered my courage to ask her."Your jerk ex-boyfriend posted something on his social media account. It seems like he saw you guys yesterday. He saw Steven fetch you. He even took a photo of you while you were smiling at each other," She shared. "His girlfriend commented, 'How dare you act like a victim when you are also cheating behind Jake's back.' Like, what the hell? So, I am waiting for you. Whether
Sunny We looked to the side and saw a group of men wearing black suits. They are holding bats and a knife too! A man in the center went to our place. "Sir. Gino," He repeated it and bowed a little. "Who tried to harm you?" He asked afterward. "Ahh, actually, not me. Those people said something bad about my friends, you know? Sunny and Steven," Gino replied, pointing at Steven and me. "They posted malicious things and made fun of them publicly." He explained as he told next at Jake and his companies. The man glared at them. "What do you want me to do? Do you want me to bury them altogether?" He asked casually as if what he was saying was very ordinary. Even our section could not help but gasp at what we were hearing. Are we even hearing things right? "Gino." I tried to stop Gino, but he just smiled at me. He looked back to the man he was talking to. "Would their parents and the school find them?" Gino asked. The man shook his head. "Do not worry. The school is under us. We could
Steven"Can you throw that face of yours?" Mavin commented. "You have been frowning since you woke up this morning. What the hell is wrong with you?" He added, complaining.She is avoiding me. She even did not come today with Grandma. I told her not to worry about it last night, but Sunny is Sunny. She will think of it as the most challenging problem in this world."Mavin." I called my brother."What?" He asked."How did you know she was your mate?" I asked him.His forehead creased. "There are many ways in which you can find your mate. You can tell by seeing her that it's like love at first sight. You can also tell by her scent and by your guts. Why are you asking?""I told you before that I saw my mate, right?" I asked again instead of answering his question.He nodded. "You did, but when I asked who and where she was, you did not bother opening your mouth after. You just told me and left me stressed about it. What about it?" He asked again."Do not dare leave me and my questions una
Steven Sunny did not come to school the following day either. I waited, thinking she was late, but she did not come. I tried to message her, but she was not replying, as well as to Shiela. I heard Shiela telling our classmates that Sunny wasn't answering her messages, either. What happened? Is she okay? Our professor was busy lecturing in front when I felt my phone vibrate. I was about to dismiss it when I remembered it could be Sunny. So I fished out my phone and put it down. I do not want our professor to catch me doing it. I was excited to see her name, knowing that she was the one who had texted me or what. 'Hi, Steven! Sorry for the late reply. I just got up, and I am not feeling well. I won't be able to attend our class today. Take care on your way home, okay?' That was her message. So, she is sick. She has not been feeling well since yesterday. That is why she did not come with Grandma. She is not avoiding me because of what happened. Yeah, right. She would not have texte
Sunny "How are you feeling now?" Shiela asked me. She visited me instead of going to their practice for cheer dancing today. "Unlike yesterday, I am feeling better now," I answered. "That rain... I will make sure not to get caught by it again. I hate feeling sick. I kept on vomiting. It does not taste good either." I complained. Shiela chuckled, "Are you crazy? Why would you even taste your vomit? You are not supposed to taste it, idiot." She replied. "Whether you like it or not, you will taste what it is like when you are vomiting," I refuted. "Don't feign ignorance. That's the truth!" I added. "Let's not talk about it now. We are getting nastier as we keep on talking about that." Shiela said. "Anyway, how about Steven?" She suddenly changed the topic. "Steven? Oh, he went here last night after your class," I shared. "He brought me these." I continued and pointed at the cooling gel sheet and some apples on the table. Shiela mouthed an "o" before wriggling her eyebrows at me. "I
Sunny "Are you really sure that you are fine now?" Steven asked for the nth time. "You do not feel dizzy at all or not?" He asked again. I just want to avoid him. He has been asking me these since a while ago. "Sunny, answer me. I am asking you here." He added. I stopped sweeping the floor and turned to him. Our eyes locked the moment I faced him, and he was not budging. I sighed. "Steven." I called out to him. "Yes? Would you like to answer my questions now?" He answered and fired a question right after. I pointed at my head and slid it down. "As you can see, I am walking fine and am able to do everything now. I would not be here if I were still not okay." I told him. "I also told you that I was fine before we started cleaning, and here you are asking me repeatedly." I added. "So you are complaining about it?" He asked back, or rather, I would say he sassed back. "I am worried. Can't I be one?" He asked this time. "You can be worried, Steven. There is no one stopping you, but
Sunny "Mavin!" They greeted each other excitedly and ran towards Mavin. Mavin was surprised at first. I even saw him blink thrice. He was trying to confirm if they were really real. Well, I was staring at them stupidly a while ago too. They are too pretty and handsome for me. I feel like I have been starstruck by seeing them up close. If they were my idols and I saw them face to face, I would faint instantly! "How are you guys? It's good to see you!" Mavin greeted them back. I headed to the kitchen and quickly told Grandma what was happening in the living room. "Grandma, they have a visitor today. Do you think we need to cook another dish for the visitors?" I told her. Grandma looked confused, "Visitor? Why did they not tell me about it? I should have cooked more." Grandma said. "I do not think they know about that either. Steven and Mavin were surprised by their sudden visit here. Don't worry. I will prepare what they can eat. You can just cook more rice for them. I will do the
Steven"Do not worry about me. I will send you a photo if we have finished our practice already. My friend will send me off, I swear." Shiela told Sunny, trying to reassure her about her safety.Shiela shot a glance at me. Her face was telling me to help her. "We can just talk to her friend and ask them a favor. If you are that worried." I told Sunny.Shiela sighed. "I did not mean this kind of help, Steven. Argh, you two are making me frustrated," she replied. "I know I should be happy because you are worried about me, but it feels like you guys are my parents." She added."We just want to make sure that you will be safe." Sunny replied.Shiela nodded, defeated. "Okay, okay. Come with me to the gymnasium." She said.We quietly followed her to the gymnasium. We can hear loud noises from the outside. Shiela opened the door and left it open for us to enter. Her teammates turned to us and quickly waved their hands at the sight of Shiela."Efren, come here!" Shiela yelled and called for th
Sunny "Sunny, how's your class today?" Shiela asked when we met in the corridor. "Have you finished your class?" She added. I nodded. "I just finished my class today. How were your students?" I asked her back. Her smiley face turned into a sour one. "I am dying with Mrs. Fuentabilla's students. They were all noisy and naughty. They would not let me teach my lesson without getting into trouble!" She shared her experience. "If I were not trained well, my arms would fly to hit them all, but I stopped myself from doing so. I still want to be a licensed teacher soon." We are now doing on-the-job training. We will graduate soon, and we are teaching high school students at our university. "This is just training. Soon we will have our students. We must face them daily, so this is a wonderful opportunity. We will learn and be able to take some tips that we can use in the future." I told him as I patted her hands. "You are right. This won't stop me from being a teacher soon." She replied.
Sunny"But where are you guys living now if you are not staying here anymore?" I suddenly asked. "I thought you went back to the place where you live. I do not know the way there or how I will get there." I added."Would you mind telling me the address to your house?" I asked him again.He laughed and tapped my head. "There is no need to ask for the address." He replied.I pouted. "Why? You can tell me, so if this happens again, I will know where to go and what to do. " I defended myself."As I said, you do not have to know our address. If everything is good already, I will bring you to our house next time. We can't go there for now because of what's happening here." He replied."You know what? I am stressed these days. After what happened that day, I could not shake the memory of your face. You were confused and scared at the same time. A lot of things came into my mind. I was so scared. My mind went blank for a few minutes. I have been thinking about the what ifs." He shared, looking
Sunny "I will go now. You better go home with your friend, okay?" I told Shiela. "And where are you going alone?" She asked back, stopping me from walking. It's been two weeks since that day happened. I smiled at her and said, "I guess it's time for me to talk to him and run to his arms." I replied. Shiela let go of me with a shocked face. She was covering her mouth out of shock. "I am okay now. I think I can go and talk to him about us." I added. A while ago, Shiela would not let me go. But now, she is the one who is pushing me out of our room. "Good luck, girl! You can do this! Oh my gosh! I am so happy for you!" Shiela said excitedly. It's time to get him back. "Good luck, Sunny!" Marco yelled. "Get his ass back! Tell him we miss him already!" He added. "Tell him we need his brain here, and we will have our finals this semester. He needs to catch up!" Our president also commented. I was not able to hear them all because they were talking together. It's been weeks since he sta
Sunny"Sunny, let's have our dinner. Go outside now." I heard my sister calling out for me. I slowly got up from my bed and went out of my room. "Goodness! Look at you. You look like a zombie," she added when she saw me. "Let's go."Fei guided me, and we went together to the kitchen. We had our dinner quietly. Very unusual. It's the first time we've had a dinner like this. No one dared to say anything nor dared to strike up any conversation. We have been like this for days, and I know I am the reason.That day.I woke up, and I was already in my room. I do not know, but my tears fell like a river that does not know how to stop. It's like I could not stop them even if I wanted to. They did not question me at all. They let me cry and cry until I fell asleep. At first, Fei asked me worriedly if Steven had hurt me since I was crying nonstop, but I could tell them that he did not."Eat, Sunny." Grandma reminded. "Do you want me to feed you?" she asked.I shook my head and smiled. "No need,
Steven"Steven... how... what... was happening?""Sunny!""Mavin! Steven!" I heard my dad call us. "We have sieged the enemies already." Dad added."Prile is around, Dad. Have you seen or caught him too?" Mavin asked.Dad shook his head. "He left his troops. He was nowhere to be found within the perimeter," he answered and looked at Sunny, who was unconscious. "How is she? Is she hurt?" He asked."No, Dad. We managed to guard her better." I replied."Good. I will let the others check the house first. Are you okay? Does she know about our secret now?" Dad asked calmly.I nodded slowly. "Yes, Dad. She saw me." I replied."What are your plans now?""I want to send her home first. After that, I want to stay away from her. I do not think she is safe with me, and I am scared she does not want to be with me anymore." I answered."You will be fine. Do not worry. Let's send her home for now. Let's do what you want," Dad said, tapping my shoulders. "Mavin, get your car ready. Let's send Sunny ho
Sunny "It has been said that it is not made by normal people. Many people are saying that a monster or a psychopath could do it. Our authorities are conducting their investigation into this crime happening in our country." "Oh! That's Mavin and Uncle." I said when I saw Mavin and his father behind the talking reporter on television. They were talking to the police and a few men wearing black shirts. "I guess their work is really that dangerous. They are in charge of this case. I hope they are always safe." Grandma commented. "It was also the first time I saw them working. Usually, they just hold their laptop or tablet when I am at their house. I did not know that it was that serious." I shared. "Mavin does not share much about his line of work. He said when he is at home, he does not want to talk about it and wants to have a normal day, so I do not ask about it." I added. As I always say, Mavin and his father are always smiling and know how to follow what is trending today. Seeing
