Kyros felt his world slowing down while looking at Liliana who is walking down the stairs.
Although the place was filled with loud claps and music, he couldn't hear anything. Only the loud beating of his heart. He can't get his eyes off of her.
"Hey, Kyros." Even though Dusty waved his hand in front of Kyros it wasn't effective. His eyes are still on Liliana.
"If angels really do exist, she must be one of them." Dusty grimace as he cringed at what Kyros said while still following Lili with his eyes.
"Happy 16th Birthday Liliana." The mc greeted Liliana after she arrived near the mc, but her eyes are roaming the whole ballroom. As if she's trying to find someone.
The new semester began just like that."I'm so jealous! I also want to see Lili in a ball gown." Mavis said in frustration while pouting like a duck. She's placing plates on the table for our breakfast."It's okay. It was really boring anyway." I said. "Anyway, where's Ea? I haven't seen her since I came back here.""Maybe she wanted to extend her vacation with her family?" Phoebe said while smiling happily."Kyros! Stop eating my food." Dusty said in annoyance while pushing Kyros's face out of his way. It's early in the morning and they're already being such kids.I ignored them and just helped with placing the plates on the table. While
"Do I have a choice?"Mr. Wilson shook his head while smiling at me. I gave him a fake smile. I want to ask him how could he lose at something like that, but I can't since he's going to cry later."The writer and director chose Zaki, but since he's going to transfer schools they will still pick whoever they want to be the male lead." Mr. Wilson added.Why will they pick the main lead in our class when the ambassador of Korea's going to watch the musical play?Isn't it better to chose someone from the club so that it won't create anymore burden to the whole production? I don't know if I can actually do a good job when it comes to acting.
"There will be slight changes with the script. You can get the new script from Kyla. I'm sorry, I added a new character."I don't understand why the sudden changes in the script. Mika is such a weirdo, well doesn't being a weirdo a big thing for writers? Like most of the famous writers are weirdos.There are only two weeks left for us to rehearse, I hope this won't ruin the play. I'll trust Mika since she's the President of the Drama Club and she has already done this before. I forgot to say that Mika is in a second year."Lili!" I smiled after seeing the little kid whose name is Judy. We got close to each other because she's playing the role of that dwarf who will find Snow White in the woods."I saw
"I'm done packing my things. You should pack yours too, Lili. Since after the rehearsal we'll directly go to Sanjo's Villa." Mavis said in excitement as soon as I arrived at the Okami Complex with Kyros.I followed what Mavis said and went to my room to pack my things. We're not going to stay at Sanjo's villa for a week, that's why I only packed a few changes of clothes and the script so that I can still practice whenever I have time.Might as well bring my favorite book, in case of getting bored and Kyros might bug me again when he's bored. I'll think about how to escape from him.After packing my things, I also checked on my costume to see if there's no problem since tomorrow will be the final rehearsal. I may not look like it but I do feel nervous and anxious,
Dusty's POVI arrived at our family home safe and well. My little brother Denver greeted me with his insane blue hair. What happened to this guy?"Is dad aware of that ridiculous hair of yours?" I asked still in shock. He laughed as he scratches his cheek."But this color suits me well doesn't it? Be honest." He said changing the topic which made me sigh. Does Lili feel this way whenever we act idiots when we're with her?"Anyway, did you see Astraea?" I asked as soon as I remembered the reason up to why I went here. He looked at me with slight discomfort on his face."I've been watching her little brot
Mitch's POVI've been laughing ever since Huxley began doing some funny jokes with his body. It's the first time for me to hang out with them like this.I was never in their circle of friends before, but they always gladly accept me when I want to hang out with them."It's already dark outside, what are those two doing?" Mavis asked with this worried expression on her face. She's talking about Lili and Kyros.The twins are fighting as soon as we arrived here which made Lili nagged them and then Kyros went outside after that. Shortly after, Lili followed him.I even saw how Kyril's expression
Mitch's POV"Who is it?" We all felt intrigued by Lili's answer. Even Kyril is listening carefully to her."Mitch." They all looked at me after Lili mentioned my name."What? Why him?" Huxley asked as if it's taboo for Lili to choose me."Why? I'm cool ain't I?" Royce shook his head intensely as an answer which made me pout out of anger."So what's the reason?" Kyril asked while looking at me intently as if he's trying to figure me out. This is scaring me."Because he's pretty." They all looked at me with a gentle expression on their faces a
"N-No way!" He denied it fiercely but immediately hugged me after another set of thunder and lightning. I can feel his whole body trembling in fear."I-I'm not afraid." He said. More likely telling himself that."Then let go of me," I said as I tried to push him away but the constant sound of thunder made Kyros hugged me even more than before."I-I can't sleep." Instead of getting surprised by the continuous sounds of the thunder, I was more surprised by how close our bodies are right now."Okay okay. I'll lay down with you." I said, trying to reassure him as I try to push him away gently. But he didn't even let me do that. All I can feel now is the severe trembling of his body. Is he that scared?
“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
