Leon hid Lili behind his back while trying to back away from the men who came out of the van.
It isn't that far from the Academy but he can't just run towards the main gate with these men surrounding them.
"You gave me no choice uncle," Leon said as his grip tightened on his kendo stick.
The men laughed at Leon but he didn't waste any time and started attacking all of them as he pushes Lili to the side.
It would have been better if Lili could just run towards the Academy, but it wasn't a choice.
As Leon kept on hitting them, his kendo stick accidentally broke and half of it flew near the gate. If only Lili could scream really loud maybe the guard will notice their struggles.
"Let's go, Miss?" One of the men reached out his hand towards Lili as if automatic Lili held into that man's hand and went inside the white van.
"Lili!" L
Lili's POVThe feelings I've been suppressing for a really long time won over me. I couldn't feel anything.As if I was in a void with nothing, just plain darkness. It doesn't matter if how many days passed, t
The guy with the tattoo started to panic after hearing that one of them is not breathing.After falling from the top of the stairs, I am not surprised that he hit his head hard on the ground. They all went to that guy to check on him once again, but blood started coming out of his head."I already told you before. You're all in danger." Leon said even though he couldn't even move from where he is lying right now.I can't go to him since I don't have any more strength in my body.I don't need someone who'll help me get away from this place. I need to end my life here, to end my family's suffering."What took you so long?" Leon a
He swiftly ran towards me and he successfully knocks off Smith to the ground. After doing that, he hugged me so tight. He wouldn't let me go, as if he wanted that hug so badly."Uhm, can we get out of here first?" I quickly pushed Kyros due to embarrassment and that made him fall on his butt.I was planning to help him after realizing what I did. But all of a sudden, he stood up immediately and hid me behind his back."Do you think this ends here?" I shuddered in fear after hearing Mr. Smith's voice.I tried to look at his face, he has bruises and his left arm is bleeding. I thought Kyros already knocked him unconscious.
Two weeks already passed and Castillo's still in a state of coma. The operation was successful, but the doctor said that they're still not sure when he will wake up.I also noticed, during those two weeks the class became silent. I mean not totally silent, but as if they lost their energy.Dusty and Huxley have been quieter than before. You can see that they're all affected by what happened to Kyros.This is much more suffocating than before, knowing that it is my fault why that guy ended up like that. But no one's blaming me which makes it heavier for me."I can't visit Kyros today. Who doesn't have any plans for today?" I heard Zaki asking the others who are left behind in the room. 
I was stunned after hearing that the two of them are in a relationship.He has a girlfriend but he keeps bugging me?! He even confessed that-- I mean he didn't really confess that he likes me, but in a way, he did confess! He said he'll accept my love!"Shut up." Kyros disregarded what Sophie said that made her pissed and then she jumped on top of Kyros."Why are you being mean to me?" Sophie said while straddling Kyros and punching his face with her weak hands."Should I just go home now?" I asked with a serious expression on my face. Looks like he's fine now without me here. It looks like I'm not needed here.
Days flew faster than expected. It's almost Christmas, I didn't expect to survive this long.Kyros's injuries are now completely healed as if he didn't have any in the first place. But the thing is, he keeps on sleeping in my room. As if that's the most normal thing to do after being out of the hospital."If you dare come inside my room again, I'll forget accepting you as a friend," I warned Kyros as soon as we got on the first floor."I didn't expect that Sophie would go here yesterday. That's why I hid in your room but ended up falling asleep." Him and his stupid excuses."Still, respect my personal space." He nodded a lot of times after I said that. He even gave me a salute with a stupid smil
Lili's POVZaki stayed silent even though he got through a lot of things because of me. Is he pretending not to notice? Why?"Ah! I don't care anymore." I said due to frustrations."Are you okay Lili?" Kyros keep on asking me that until now that we're heading to the gymnasium."Why do you keep on asking me?""You look pissed. Did I do something bad?" I looked at him and there I saw his scared expression. I couldn't help but feel bad about it, since I made him feel that way."I'm fine and I'm not mad at you," I said as I try to pat his head b
I ran towards the familiar person in hopes of finding the right gift for Alexis whom I'm not close with. Basically, I'm not close with anyone. I was too busy minding myself before okay."Alexis!" I called his name and I saw how he flinched but he immediately ran away from me. Why the hell is he running away?Because of my natural competitiveness, I chased him until I finally got him. We both gasp for air after running like madmen inside the mall. I'm glad the security didn't label us as crazy."L-Lili, why did you chase me?" He asked. I was astonished after hearing his voice. I think this is the first time that I've heard his voice.I was back to reality after he tugged my shirt.
“How do you feel?” I looked up to Jade after she asked me as I took my seat in the classroom. Everyone was looking at me with worried eyes. Even though I could not answer, Jade patted my head, trying to comfort me. Despite the fear and anxiety, I felt after opening that pink box yesterday, I feel awfully good today. Would it be surprising for them to see me doing better than all the other days? “I’m fine.” Being with Kyros must have had a good effect on me. “As expected, I shall praise your courage and strength, Lily of the valley.” Jade was immediately pulled away by Alexis after she said that. “I’m sorry... for her.” I didn’t understand why he had to apologize. It actually feels good to be praised for being courageous about something traumatizing. It wasn’t offensive to me, at all. Our morning class started, all my classmates were busy trying to please me and all, but there was something weird. I looked at Kyros, he was laughing with Dusty and the others.
Kyros placed both his hands on my shoulders. “Look at me.” He said. His tone was gentle; it was the first time I saw him acting like this. It wasn’t his usual puppy act. “I’m here.” When I looked at him, I felt my heart skip a beat. ‘This isn’t the time for this.’ I thought as I took a deep breath. “I-I know.” I gasped, trying to calm myself again. “Have you guys read the letter?” He shook his head. “We left the box in the classroom. Taurus and the others are investigating the situation.” I felt his warm hand on my cheek. “We’re keeping it a secret just in case you might hate people knowing about it.” The way his eyes looked at me… was different. “Also, I’m sorry.” He’s still staring at me with his genuine and sincere eyes. “I should stop fighting with Kyril, Lili hates it, I know.” He said as his other hand squeezed mine. The atmosphere wasn’t even for that kind of thing, but as he speaks every word, it felt like it’s been forever since we last talked face to face like this. “I’
I got up from the bed and immediately opened the curtain to see who was talking to me, but there was no one there. ‘Am I hearing things now?’ I shook my head as I lay on the bed again. “This is getting more and more annoying.” I cursed at the wind and closed my eyes. “Lili? Are you there?” I opened my eyes after hearing Mavis’s voice. Why is she here in the infirmary? “Uhm, I actually heard what happened in your classroom today.” She said as I saw her sitting on the chair in front of the bed. I could only see her silhouette since the curtain’s covering the bed. “I know what Kyros did probably pissed you off,” Mavis said. “But he’s only being like that because he likes you so much.” I opened the curtain and saw Mavis. Her hair was in a mess and it looked like she rushed here. “Did Kyros tell you to say that?” “Of course not!” She sighed. “I can’t bear seeing you two break down just because of Kyros’s social anxiety and how he sucks when it comes to interacting with people.” My
“That’s right.” Hearing that causes me to feel this weird annoying feeling inside my guts. “Lily was— No. I don’t want to say it. I shouldn’t be the one saying it.” Kyril said after almost telling it to me. Why though? Why can’t he just tell me who Lily is? “Why? You can say how you met her.” Kyril must have noticed that I’m really curious about this girl named Lily. “Fine. Lily was a sick girl that I met in the hospital where Kyrara was staying before.” He said. “She wasn’t able to go out because of her fragile body. Although I was irritated with her at first, we became good friends. But Kyros came and snatched her away from me just like how he did to everybody else.” Snatched? “Was she yours?”“I mean… I didn’t mean it like that.” Kyril said. “What I meant is that I was her friend first, but Kyros came and snatched her away.”Does it mean Lily chose Kyros over Kyril? “Did you want her all for yourself?” Kyril nodded. “Let me guess, Kyros wanted to become her friend too that’s wh
“I thought you wanted to get along with Tiffany?” I was dumbfounded after I heard Kyros ask that before I could leave. “What? You saw how she— Do you like her now?” I was pissed. I’m the victim yet it feels like I’m being blamed. “Wait, why do you even like me?” After I asked that, Kyros couldn’t answer. I don’t know if he chose not to answer or if he just doesn’t have an answer, but either way, I’m not sure about his feelings anymore. “Leave me alone.” I walked away and didn’t bother listening to whatever he wanted to say— if he will say anything else, but he stood there in silence. “Do you want to meet Silver?” My forehead creased after Kyril greeted me with that. Did he hear my conversation with Kyros? But wait, who’s Silver? I wasn’t even answering yet, but Kyril already pulled me into his car and drove me to their house. When he said silver, he was talking about the white cat that he adopted. I can’t remember the name I gave it, but it wasn’t Silver. “Oh? Did you think I ch
I didn't expect Taurus to be willing to help me with my plan. "Thank you for accompanying me." Taurus patted my head which caught me off guard. "I know it's already hard being Kyros's favorite. It's going to be okay." He said as he bid me goodbye and walked away. That was rare, but I didn't hate it. Instead, it was really great to let these things out sometimes. Miss Kyrary wasn't home, and only Ethan was there. He asked me about the school, but he didn't dig deeper as to why I was already home when it was still not time for dismissal. I went to my room and slammed my body on the bed. "That was tiring." The ceiling makes me feel drowsy, and now I don't know if I should take a bath before going to sleep. "No." I got up and looked at myself. I'm still wearing my uniform, and some blood that came from my arm stained my uniform. I should just wash this before it stays there forever. As I said, I went to the laundry room and washed my uniform after changing into casual clothes. It'd
Lili’s POV“Are you really okay?”I looked at Kyril, tending to my wound since the nurse wasn’t there. “What?”“Was getting hurt like this part of your plans?”The tone of Kyril’s voice was similar to the one my older brother would often use when I got hurt. “No. It was Tiffany’s decision to hurt me like this.” I said, which made Kyril look up at my face. Why is he looking at me with those same eyes as before? It makes me feel uncomfortable… “Believe it or not, I’m not planning anything like that.”“Was
Lunch break ended, and we all went back to the classroom. We have some free time for ourselves since the next teacher was absent. Taurus decided not to waste this free time and prepare the things we’ll need tomorrow for the science fair experiment. They are trying to ask permission to keep the necessities for our experiment in the science lab.“Lili.”I looked behind and saw Tiffany.Why is she calling my name as if we’re close?“What?” I didn’t care about how I acted since the others weren’t there. Now that I roamed my vision, Tiffany and I are right here.Tiffany glared at me and didn’t answer.
“That’s right. I’m gay.”My attention went to Mitch after he admitted that. But what’s more interesting? The panicked look on Tiffany’s face since nothing was going her way.It’s so fun to watch her taste her own medicine.“What’s more? Your respectable captain’s in a relationship with a guy. And that guy is—“Wow, she’s really getting desperate.One of the upperclassmen laughed and smacked the captain’s shoulder, deliberately cutting off Tiffany. “I freaking knew it. I thought you were getting all mushy, so I didn&rsqu
