"Let me go, Jacob! I told you to stop following me, didn't I?! Why are you so obsessed with me?!" the girl exclaimed as she tried to free her hand from the boy's grip.
Her statement only made the boy tighten his grip as he heard his cronies behind him laugh. He chuckled in annoyance and slammed the girl on the wall beside them. The girl groaned at the impact.
"Tsk tsk, that's not how you talk to a girl."
Their attention was diverted to where the voice came from only to see another girl eating her bread innocently. She eyed every single one of them, trying to guess if she can fight all four of them just in case a talk wouldn't work for them.
The three cronies watched Eleonna in interest as they whisper to one another. This made her feel cringe, they really had the audacity to check her out while letting their 'friend' harass someone.
"Who the fuck are y
I'm very much honored if you've reached this chapter so thank you! ^_^ Just so you know, you'll never regret giving this book a chance so sit back and enjoy every chapter. Catheleyia loves you!
Eleonna stared at the paper deep in her thoughts that she didn't notice Mace and Fumiya's arrival. The two scanned them in confusion, seeing as they have a serious face."Ah, you're here, Eleonna," Mace said.The girl turned around and finally saw them. Fumiya nodded at her and continued his way into the their wine cellar that was filled with different kinds of liquors. Eleonna heard Audella groan beside her.She greeted Mace as soon as he sat across them. Mace raised his brows at Audella when he noticed her being grumpy towards him."What are you acting like that for?" he asked.Audella didn't answer him and just poured another liquor on her glass. He noticed the envelope that was displayed on the table and looked at her, he finally understood what was going on. "Seriously?"Audella rolled her eyes at
Staying up late indeed is a bad idea.Sitting on her chair with heavy eyes, Eleonna slapped her own cheeks to contain herself from dozing off. No matter how she force her eyes to open wide, the feeling of wanting to sleep is still dominant.Poor girl stayed up late thinking about how exactly Eleanor got into that team that she's currently in.'With strong determination on her eyes.'Why is she determined? And of what? From what she remembered, Eleanor had given up from everything.The morning class finally ended. Eleonna immediately closed her eyes and laid on her chair."Aren't you gonna eat? Let's go to the cafeteria." she heard Nesha said as the girl stood beside her chair. She didn't bother to open her eyes."I want to sleep all day."Nesha sat in front of her and looked at the girl suspiciously.
"You seemed extra energetic today." Nesha commented as she watched Eleonna do their PE exercises so fast. She couldn't believe how her behavior yesterday contradicts today. "Ah, I had a good sleep last night, that's why." Eleonna giggled as she reached out for her water container. "Huh? You done already? Wait for me!" Eleonna grinned and ran away from her. She could hear her call her name which made the teachers look her way. Oh how she loves teasing her dear friend. Yesterday's brawling session was a good warm up for her. It seemed like it awakened her sleeping skill, improved even. She was glad that Celeste didn't take her defeat personal, though. Mace called them for a meeting yesterday to discuss how to get Eleonna a pass card. Turned out, the necklace that she got from Eleanor was not just a fashion necklace, its barcode pendant was a tool to let her enter the unde
After a long day of class and hanging out with Nesha and Liya, Eleonna finally got to lay on her bed. She couldn't help but to reminisce about the things that had happened these past days. Is what she's doing the right thing? How is this gonna affect her life?She groaned and decided to sit on her chair to do her schoolworks. She doesn't want to overthink today, not now. As she was getting her papers, a polaroid fell from the shelves. She picked it up and scanned it.She forgot about this.The picture that she found from her home. She flipped the picture and read the names written on it.Arthur SalvelleJohnson VierroGeorge Donn ValmoraAllerick Hemming"I really don't know these guys..." she murmured to herself as she tried to remember her childhood days if her father had introduced them.
Someone had told Eleonna to think of her actions thoroughly before making it happen, because it will either result to something good or bad. Well in this situation, she couldn't really tell if the consequence of her action was a good thing. I mean, she now knew the name of that girl her sister was talking to now that might be a big help for her, but at what cost? Ofcoure to get beaten up and harassed by some irresponsible drunkards. "Here, use this to mend those cuts." Shaun said as he placed the medicine kit on top of the table. Eleonna opened her eyes and sat properly, she groaned as she felt the aftermath pain. Must've been that adrenaline rush that caused her not to realize just how bad she actually got beaten up, 'cause let's be honest, even if this girl knows how to actually fight, that doesn't mean that it'll make her untouchable. Shaun watched as the girl visibly fro
"Woah, that's a lot of bruises and cuts you got there. You know, a lady should take care of herself, specially her face." Celeste said as she dodge Eleonna's punch. Eleonna's brows creased at her statement. Oh, she doesn't want to talk about the cuts. "Just shut it and focus---argh!" she groaned when the girl managed to kick her from behind. Celeste immediately wrapped her arms around the girl's neck as she pointed the knife on her neck. "You see, when you fight with someone, you shouldn't get frustrated because if you do, then you wouldn't be able to focus and think of a good strategy to win against them." Eleonna rolled her eyes at her statement. Immediately recognizing her advice for her when they first brawl. "That's what you said, and it's actually effective so thanks," she grinned as she let her go. "What's wrong with you? It's very bo
Time flies fast, whether you like it or not, it does. As for Eleonna, she isn't that glad of how fast the days passed. For the past few days, the girl didn't have anything in mind but the game. Mace told her that it will happen the day after tomorrow, which is Saturday. Her routine had been the same, school, hideout, home. To say that she's nervous is an understatement. I mean, who wouldn't get scared for themselves if they knew they'll be doing some dangerous shits for the next day? Not to mention, Illegal too. Everytime she goes to that place, she couldn't help but to rethink about her decisions. It felt like what she's doing is not right, but at the same time if it weren't for this then she wouldn't know the things that she discovered now. She couldn't quit now that she's closer to the truth she wants to find out. And maybe, she'll finally find her too. She alr
"Hey," Eleonna greeted as soon as the both of them got inside.Albeit weirded out by the stares they're giving to them, to her specifically. She walked towards the couch where everyone was situated.Mace stood up and went in front of them."So, since everyone is here. We'll be discussing about our new tactics in the game," he glanced at Eleonna, "And as for you since this is your first time, buckle up 'cause I'm gonna tell you things that you need to know."Audella sat beside her. Mace carried the table to the font as he scanned each paper above it."Hotel de Devio is a famous five star hotel in the Philippines, we all know that underneath their luxury profile, there's hell," he showed them a paper, "This is the official list of the members of the group we'll be facing this year."He gave them the paper and let them read it individually. There wer
Focus. Focus. Focus. The word repeated in her mind. Sitting in a class without knowing what was going on, even though the girl attended the whole week, was damn hard. Being clueless about the subject's topic that was discussed in your presence but still not getting them was one thing, taking a test was even a bigger challenge. This was one of the rare moments when Eleonna regretted not actively listening or paying attention to the class. She thought she could have easily aced this one. Guess regrets really do come after deeds. The girl let out a frustrated sigh and leaned on her chair. "I shouldn't have doze off during discussions..." she murmured to herself. She stared at her empty answer sheets beside the testpapers hopelessly. There were multiple choices in it, identification, and essay. She could answer the essays, it was somehow the easiest part for her, not until it she read the direction telling her to say something about what seemed to be a complicated topic. This was o
There is always a good outcome in everything. No matter how bad your situation is, there will always be that outcome that will make you realize just how that bad situation benefit you. Just like Eleonna's decision of joining their team. She may witness how brutal life can be, she still learned how to fight for something and sacrifice, and she knows it in herself that this is not the end of it all. There is still more to this path she chose to take that meets the eye. And she had to get ready for it. Who knows what will happen next? The scent of the salt sea and night air welcome her as she closed her eyes. Her hair was swaying left and right from the harsh yet calming air. She was seating at the back of Yuan's motorcycle as the former drove. It was past eight when Eleonna decided to go home. She already bid her goodbye to the team and spent some time with them. Yuan, as usual, presented to drive her home. It's been a while since Eleonna got to a seashore. The last time she visited on
"Are you sure about this, Suzy?" Eleonna asked in a low tone, worry evident on her voice. The girl was standing in front of her locker. She was crouching to try and hide her phone that was situated on her left ear. If someone saw her, they would assume that she is hiding something. Well, that was true anyway. Eleonna is currently trying to hide her phone from her PE professor. The weather was good today so their PE professor decided to take them to the quadrangle to perform their performance tasks. Eleonna is currently on her red jogging pants and white shirt. Her hair was tied in a bun. To be honest, their activity already started, but the girl managed to find an excuse to take the call. Her professor was too busy nagging her classmates anyway so she didn't pay that much attention to her. Eleonna peeked through the door of her locker before crouching back.
Weekends are usually people's favorite. It was the day when you can rest and do the things that you didn't get to do on the weekdays because of your work or studies, but sometimes weekends are just a chance to reminisce about the things that you did for the past days.Eleonna was sitting on their couch while staring at the television. She was not watching actually, she just opened it to have a background noises while she zoon out. She had a blanket wrapped around her body while crouching at her seat. Her uncle and auntie left earlier for their "date".The girl was envy of them actually. It must be nice to have a break from work, but at the same time she misses her own family. Usually on the weekends, the Salvelle family would go out and spend their time together. Their family was an ideal for anyone. It was almost perfect, but ofcourse fate has their own way of fucking people's life up.If you are wonde
After Suzy left the scene, Eleonna and Liya went silent. The loud music from the club served as their white noise. Eleonna was still trying to figure out what the short haired girl is doing here, and how did she even got in the place? As far as she knows, minor's are not allowed in this club."Liya? Are you okay?" the girl asked, albeit concerned about the short haired girl.She had been silence ever since the dark red haired girl left. It was very strange for the girl too. Eleonna was used to Liya for having a lot of energy, she is the type of girl who can smile all day, but what she is seeing now was complete opposite. The short haired girl's face was void of any emotions. Her head was hang low too.Liya lifted her head and glanced at the girl. She forced a smile as she placed the glass of cocktail on the table. She cleared her throat before answering her."Yeah, I'm okay. I am sorry about what hap
Eleonna almost forgot that she was supposed to be meeting Suzy this afternoon. Fortunately, she called her first. The girl couldn't help but to get nervous and excited at the same time. It felt like she was now close to discovering about what her sister did.She immediately bid her goodbye to the team. She actually planned to tell them that she's going to quit being in the team now, but that can wait."Do you want me to drive you back?" Yuan asked as he accompanied the girl towards the exit. He noticed that the girl was in a rush and he couldn't help but to wonder.Eleonna turned to look at him and smiled. "It's okay, I can manage."To be honest, it'll be easier for her if the guy would drive her, but something inside her is telling her not to. Obviously, she followed her inner voice. Yuan eyed her as if trying to figure out as to why she seemed to be in a rush, but failed. When both of them reached
Sitting in class and watching your professor's mouth move everytime they discuss something is pretty boring, don't you think? Especially when you hate the subject. In Eleonna's case, she doesn't hate the subject nor the professor but she just wishes the time to pass by quickly.Her legs were uncontrollably moving, indicating that she's running out of patience until the bell ring. You're probably wondering why the girl seems to be on a rush.The girl's conversation with her sister's acquaintance, Suzy, was currently plaguing her mind. She couldn't help but to wonder what this Black Shadow is nor why did the dark red haired girl mention it. She noticed that the girl couldn't believe when she told her she doesn't have any idea of what she was talking about. She have a bad feeling about this.The girl is planning to call Suzy after their class like what they had talked yesterday. She just hopes that her sch
Eleonna had her eyes fixated on the dark red haired girl in front of her. It may not seem like it, but Eleonna is the type of student who struggles to stay focused on a person talking on the front. You may be wondering how she managed to get high grades, well the answer is simple. She prefers self study, but this exact moment is an exception."Executive of what?" she asked when the girl didn't add anything.Suzy looked at her with a hint of confusion in her eyes. Does she really have no idea or she just wanted to confirm what she heard? Nevertheless, the girl answered."The Black Shadow...?" she repeated but the girl remained nonchalant. Obviously not getting what she's saying. A scoff left past her lips. "Do you not know anything about Black Shadow? Not ringing any bell or something?"Eleonna shook her head innocently, she looked like a kid who denied to her parents about eat
Two days had passed since the game happened. Eleonna had numerous of nightmares for the past two days. Whatever distractions she does, the ghosts of the dead still bothers her. She doesn't even sleep sometimes so that she can prevent herself from dying in her sleep.Eleonna covered her face with her hands as she leaned on her chair. She didn't get enough sleep last night as usual. She wanted to skip class today but her uncle might suspect her for doing something. It's not like she didn't just put her life on the line last Saturday though. Not to mention the failed plan Audella and she made.But come to think of it. Even if she didn't saw that Sy, she met Suzy. Yes, that brutal player who suspiciously protected her and spared her life. That same day when Suzy confessed to her that she had a connection with Eleanor, a phone call interrupted them. Just as she was about to spill some beans, the fate decided to interfere, and now she
