Mitch's POV
I'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?
I feel like I've heard that from somewhere before."Kyril." He stopped walking when I called his name. Why does saying his name feels nostalgic but strange at the same time."Did we meet before?" I asked a stupid question but he looked surprised after hearing that came out of my mouth.He was about to open his mouth when Kyros got in between us and disturbed our conversation."Are you trying to drown Lili?" Kyros questioned his twin brother but Kyril ignored him and stayed looking right into my eyes, with that pained smile."Go away!" I was shocked when Kyros pushed his brother and then Kyril's whole body sunk in the water. I was too surpr
"When did I stole anything from you?!" Kyros raised his voice once again. This is also pissing me off, why do they keep on fighting with me in between of them?"It's your fault anyway. All of them liked me because I'm not weak like you. You try to steal them from me but they're always choosing me. I will always be better than you." I couldn't believe what just came out of Kyros's mouth. How could he say that to his brother?"They choose you? Did you really think that way? They chose you because you're dumb and you needed extra care because you're abnormal." I was even more surprised by what Kyril said."STOP!" I shouted which made the two shut up."I know you both hate each other, but can you stop tel
I tried my best to remove that thought off of my mind. I got water on my tumbler so that I won't need to bother going down later if I get thirsty in the middle of the night again.As soon as I got back on the second floor, I noticed Mavis's door is now closed completely. I guess she's asleep now.The thunder and lightning kept on going strong and I can't stop myself from thinking about what happened in Sanjo's Family Villa.I saw how vulnerable Kyros became just because of the sound of thunder. He looks like he went through something traumatizing because his eyes were filled with fear.I don't really want to get involved anymore, but I can't leave someone struggling on their own. Because I would
"Don't you feel nervous at all?" Kyril asked while we're all waiting backstage. We all arrived in the Auditorium just in time.Although it was too shameful to walk in the hallway wearing a gorgeous dress on, it still worth it since a lot of students went to watch."No. We've been practicing for weeks, and I already know my lines so much it makes me want to vomit." Kyril began laughing after I said that. Looks like his nervousness disappeared thanks to me.He's already wearing his costume with his hair styled up like a real Prince. The girls will surely scream when they see him looking all handsome like this.We all heard Mika's voice introducing the Drama Club and our class for the production of
The play continued with great reactions from the audience. They are sure to love it. But shouldn't they stop shouting because the Ambassador of Korea is also watching?We are now finally in the scene where Snow White was poisoned and she's now lying in the flower bed made by the dwarfs.The cute children who are playing as the dwarfs began crying because of me who died because of her own stupidity."So beautiful even in death, that the dwarfs could not find it in their hearts to bury her, they fashioned a coffin of glass and gold and kept eternal vigil at her side,"Mika said."The Prince, who had searched far and wide, heard of the mai
They really like teasing me every single time huh?"I wouldn't be surprised when the two of you ended up getting married," Kent commented while having this smirk on his face as if trying to tease us with all his might. Sorry but that won't happen, not in a million years."Look at Lili's expression. She might be denying that with all her might on her mind." Leon said as he placed his arm on my shoulder.I was about to push him away, but someone pushed him before I could even do it. When I looked at them, the twins are holding both of Leon's arms and pushed him away from me.That made the whole clubroom in chaos. Others are squealing while the others are laughing at what the twins did."This is like that teen drama I watched on tv before," Huxley said while eating popcorn. Who knows where he gets that and what was it again? Teen drama?"CLASS! CONGRATULATIONS!" All of our attention went to the attention seeker near the door. It's no other than
“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
