The moment one of the backstage staff had seen the look of helplessness on the emcee's face, he sighs; in defeat; since it looked like the emcee was once again unable to keep secrets. Without much choice, the backstage staff just signaled the emcee- to announce everything since he had already uttered the; biggest secret- that they had been planning.
As soon as the emcee had received the okay signal from the backstage staff, he then gave his sincerest apology since he was unable to keep shut his mouth this time again. The backstage; staff waved his hand as if to tell the emcee- that everything was just okay.
The emcee then looked towards- the pack of students who- were waiting for him; to validate that what they heard from the emcee was; accurate. The emcee- as soon as he had seen the eyes- of the attendees; that looks- like hungry wolve
Inside the coffee shop, Angelo was waiting for Jun as; he was sipping a hot cup of coffee. He was sitting on the far corner of the shop surrounded by ornamental plants- that people would not find him easily.The door of the coffee shop opened, and a young man went inside the shop. He was wearing a black baseball cap paired with a black face mask on his face so- that his beauty- was entirely hidden away from view. The young man went to the counter and ordered his drink. After paying for his coffee, the barista then gave the young man a buzzer- which the young man took and proceeded- to the direction of where Angelo was sitting.The young man was treading with confidence as if he; own the place- to where Angelo was sitting, arriving at the opposite side of Angelo's chair, the young man took a seat. Angelo- who was busy playing shooting ga
The moment Angelo and Mark shook each other's hand, both of them felt a soft electric current run through their body. Angelo and Mark became dazed for a moment; they then look- at each other in the eyes as if they are; in shock by what they had just discovered."But I'm not glad meeting you, dude. And what is this sudden electric current that I'm feeling? Is this a sign that I've found my nemesis?" Angelo mumbled while still grasping Mark's hand."Are you saying something?" Mark curiously inquired as he was bewildered what Angelo was saying in a subdued voice. "Could it be that- you have suddenly fallen in love with me, and it's all because of the electricity you've felt just now?"Angelo sneered at Mark's words, and when he perceived; that they were still clutching each other's hands,
When the traffic signal had finally changed; lights, Angelo tried to follow the direction- in which Mark had run, but when he had gotten to the place, Angelo was met- with a dead end.Angelo felt the rush of frustration travel in large waves through his body as; he; can't believe that the person he thought would be his newfound friend- was someone who would steal his phone."Urgh! That d*mn j*rk. That was a newly purchased phone. It hasn't even been a week since I've used it, and then suddenly, it vanished right in front of my face. How dare that- Mark steal my phone away from me." Angelo disheveled his well-arranged hair as he was so angry. If it's possible to fly into a rage right the instant, he would have done so, but since he was in a public place. Angelo restrained himself as; he; doesn't want to pay- a penalty for damaging public
The school break of Angelo solely focused on his part-time job. Since he wanted to buy- a new phone- to replace the mobile phone that- was stolen by; Mark. Angelo was also unlucky since he was also unable- to retrieve the phone from Mark; even though he had already reported it to the police, so without a choice, Angelo decided to apply for a part-time job. Another unfortunate thing- that happened to Angelo during his school break was that- he was unable to attend the party- that was organized- by their; seniors. Since his phone- which had a special; QR code for the party was- in the hands of Mark. Angelo also can't call Cassandra, and it's all because his phone was in the possession; of Mark. He could only grit his teeth every time he remembered that unlucky day.After a few weeks- of working different part-time jobs, Angelo was finally successful in buying the latest phone model- that w
Angelo waited for a long time for Mark to hand over his phone to him, but even if his arms started to hurt, Angelo still didn't feel the weight of the phone in his palm."How long are you going to rummage your pocket; does it have a black hole in it- that's why it's taking you a long time to hand over my phone?" with a raised brow, Angelo inquired Mark with irritation.Mark just smiled at Angelo before continuing in searching- for Angelo's phone inside of his pocket. It took a few more minutes- that almost half of; the lunch break had- been utilized before Mark had finally found the phone he was- searching since.As soon as Mark had discovered the phone in his pocket, he promptly handed it to Angelo. The moment Angelo felt the phone on his palm, he hurriedly inspected the phone- to be
When Angelo had finally gotten home, he was welcomed by his parents with many questions- that it had almost drowned Angelo alive in the sea of inquiries. It was past midnight when Angelo had successfully escaped the interrogation- of his parents, and with a heavy body, Angelo plops his tired body on the soft mattress. Angelo was sleeping peacefully that night- that he didn’t notice that it was already morning. His alarm clock also didn’t produce any sound-making Angelo; scurry- over on his feet to get to his classroom. With a disarrayed appearance, Angelo arrived at his class while panting for air. His classmates looked at Angelo with weird faces- curious why their class president had arrived for the first in school late. Seeing; the strange looks that- his classmates had been giving him. Angelo could only awkwardly smile and head towards his; seat. A mere second when he was almost near his; seat, Angelo came face to face with the person who- had caused him a lot of;
That day was the last time both Angelo and Mark talked with each other. Since after their; confrontation- both of them decided to avoid each other. If Angelo would go to the right, then Mark would head to the left. If Mark would use the front door of the classroom, then Angelo would use the back door. They were evading each other, obviously that their classmates couldn’t help but look at both Angelo and Mark’s actions- with frustration as they grit their teeth in nervousness. “Bro, what happened between you and Mark?” Jun could not withstand his curiosity anymore. So he decided- to approach Angelo and inquire about the real reason; why there was so much awkwardness between Angelo and Mark. “It’s not just me that- had noticed the weird atmosphere between the both of you. All of us are walking on eggshells because of the two of you. So to make the air around this room return to its original state, I was tasked with the most important; mission, by our classmates- to gat
As soon as the whole- class was; dismissed. The students then formed into a small group- that is- made up of their close friends. As they gathered into each of their respective groups, they seriously discussed how they would spend their entire afternoon. Some groups suggested that they go to the computer- to play a game, others who didn’t want to spend money suggested that- they spend their time in a friend’s house- that is nearer to the school. While; the majority opted to go to the arcade center to enjoy their time. Since Angelo had had no backup plans- when something such as canceling of class happened. He decided to; follow most people and opt to go to the arcade center together with Jun. Surprisingly, Mark had also joined with them. There were a total of; twelve students- who decided to; go to the arcade center- including Angelo, Mark, and Jun. A total of three taxis was called to fit the students that had decided to go to the arcade center. The destinat
It was a typical yet bustling day inside a particular supermarket; the reason for its overly busy day was all because the people were trying to benefit from the clearance sale held inside the establishment. While most people were having a fierce battle in buying the goods that had an enormous amount slashed from the original price, a single distinct person was trying to avoid the large crowds of people.That person is a woman who was distinctive among the crowds of people since she is the only woman wearing an overly large dress and sporting a swollen belly. As she lightly rubs her belly, the woman looks at the crowded people with envy before looking at her big stomach. The woman smiled when she felt a light kick in her stomach. She then turned her body in the crowd's opposite direction and tried to grab a box of cereals in the utmost section of the shelf.The woman tried to stand on her toes as she tried to reach the cereal, and when she could not get even a single bo
“I’m going to go back to my room,” Aimie tried to steady her breathing since she was flustered by Mark’s back hug. “You better leave now if you don’t want to stay on the road driving the whole night.” “I know you’re mad because of what I have told you during the party, and I don’t know what to do for your anger to vanish. Tell me what I should do for you to forgive me.” Angelo muttered as he leaned his face on the nook of Aimie’s neck. Aimie felt the breathing of Mark against her neck; goosebumps instantly appeared all over her body because of how close Mark was to her. For a moment, Aimie doesn’t know what to do with how things progress, it was just a few minutes ago when Mark was leisurely sitting on the couch with a haughty look on his face, but now he was trying to earn her forgiveness. This action of Mark made Aimie feel weird since, although she had grown used to Mark’s loving gestures, it was her first time to see him sincerely ask for forgiveness. Tho
Thinking about those things made Aimie unconsciously shed a tear. She felt that her life would be simple now than when she was still Angelo, but she didn’t expect to experience so much heartache in Aimie’s body.If she had the chance to see the original Aimie next time, she would be sure to ask for a reward from her since all that was given to her was grief when she had possessed the original Aimie’s body. She made a mental note to take all the money of the real Aimie, including her pocket money, to spend it lavishly for her around the world voyage after this whole ordeal is done.Her daydreaming came to a halt when Mark unexpectedly wiped the tears that accumulated from the corner of her eyes. Aimie winced and was about to back away from Mark when Mark had tightened her hold on her waist suddenly.“What do you think are you doing?” Aimie tried to create some distance away from Mark using all the force her body had, and as she did s
It was as if time had stopped between the adults that were inside the house. No one wanted to break the heavy atmosphere around them, as if they were all comfortable about their hefty feelings. But soon, the suffocating feeling vanished when a loud wail of the child that Aimie was holding was heard throughout the entire house of Rain.They simultaneously looked at the child in Aimie’s arms with a look that was a combination of curiousness, bewilderment, anxiousness, and peevishness. While the attention was still on the child, Aimie glanced at Angelus’s way; her gaze was full of pleading since she didn’t know what to do with the child in her arms.Before the child’s wail could escalate, Angelus had fortunately seen the look of help in Aimie’s eyes. Angelus quickly took his younger sister in Aimie’s arms and carried his younger sister with a bottle of milk in his other hand.“Do you perhaps have a spare room so that my you
The soft and white ball with a pair of chubby hands and feet hugged Angelus tightly, and because of the height difference between the soft as mochi child and Angelus, the lovely child could only hug Angelus’s leg.The child’s big pair of sparkling eyes, completed with plump reddish cheeks, would make anyone feel in love with the lovable child. Seeing the cute interaction between Angelus and the adorable child made Aimie feel jealous since she also wanted to pinch the child’s chubby cheeks.While Aimie was dying in enviousness, the child hugging the leg of Angelus suddenly looked at Aimie’s way, making Aimie flinch for a second before giving the child a friendly smile. Even if she wanted to hug the child but given her current situation, it seems Aimie couldn’t act friendly with the cute child since she is just a stranger.Unbeknownst to Aimie, she gave a facial expression, a; mixture of longing and sadness that the child couldn&rsquo
Standing in front of a familiar place, Aimie’s conviction of living the life of the original Aimie faltered slowly. The once place she never thought she would get to see again was now before her. Aimie wanted to curse out whoever was playing with her conviction. The resoluteness she had of not seeing the parents Angelo had grown up with fell down the drain the instant she was standing right in front of the house that had the memories of the family she had missed so much.As Aimie was standing right in front of the house, recollection of the past flashed through her.Every time Angelo returned home, this house would greet him, and though his parents rarely returned home because of work, it didn’t feel like the abode was empty. The lingering warmth didn’t make him think that this house made him lonely, but why does this house who would always bring him comfort now feel as though it had become melancholic.“Is it alright for me to be here?&r
Suddenly, the memories of the past had flashed through Aimie’s mind. From how friendship was formed between Angelo and Mark. Their unruly days as students and how they formed deep friendships were shattered because of a single misunderstanding. The mouth that opened instantly closed, and whatever harsh words she was about to say to Mark were stuck in her throat. No matter how much Aimie wanted to hate Mark like in the past but seeing the man she had cherished for long as a close confidant, Aimie could not totally despise the man in front of her.Tracing the man’s fine features in front of her made Aimie realize that she had totally fallen for Mark. No matter how she denies it, it can’t hide the fact that she could not hide her feelings. Though she had already realized that she had feelings for Mark when the original Aimie and her met, it wasn’t like this moment when she could not hide it completely.The attraction she had for the man was undenia
After Aimie had sent her resignation letter via the courier service, she made her way to the meeting place that Angelus had texted her earlier. As she went to the area, Aimie’s heart was widely beating since she could finally see her family after a few months. While the car was making its way to the place, Aimie contemplated how she would act towards her family. Whether she would be respectful or nonchalant, Aimie was confused. It has been a long time since she hadn’t seen her own family, the family whom she had grown up to, her original family- Angelo’s family, whom her original self had promised to protect. And one thing that Aimie is sure would be hard to do when she meets her parents is to control herself from not crying in front of her parents.The moment the car that Rain had lent to her had finally come to a stop. Aimie looked at the tall building that was as if reaching the sky because of its height. While looking out of the car, Aimie contemplated h
As soon as Aimie arrived at their meeting area, she could not tidy her swollen face since Rain was already standing a few meters away. Rain had a look that hinted she was curious why the face of Aimie had gotten to the point of being swollen red like she had been crying for a long time.“What happened to you?” just like what Aimie had expected, Rain inquired why she had gotten to the point of being unrecognizable.Aimie wanted to just drop the matter, so instead of truthfully answering that she happened to cross paths with Mark, Aimie came up with another plausible reason why her face was in so much mess.“It’s because of the movie that I watched while waiting for you to arrive,” Aimie deduced that using this reason was more effective than telling Rain that- she had tripped on the air and cried for hours.But it seems Rain didn’t believe Aimie’s story since she was looking at Aimie with scrutinizing eyes, but rega
