2022-03-16 22:31:40I bit my lips that made him suspect. "If you didn't want to eat there, just say it! I'm starving!"
He stomped and put his hands on his waist so I huffed. "Stop complaining about food for now. I saw Aspen inside."
There's no need for me to hide Maddison and Amanda from Mezakiel. Mezakiel silenced himself and he gawked at the fastfood chain that we're facing right now. "Oh, then you should've told me to go away and you can head towards him."
I crossed my arms before glaring at him. He didn't actually see Aspen because he's too focused from choosing at the menu. I was way more useful than him!
"Easy for you to say because you didn't see any!" I returned back and got startled when he poked my forehead. That hurts, hello!
"Ouch! What again?!"
"I should've seen it if you didn't

I was displaying myself in front of the clubroom's closed door and I was panting rapidly and heavily. Jasper and I tried our best to dash all the way here because Aspen's words sounded so urgent. "Here, take it," Jasper exclaimed amidst his breaths. He's lending an unopened bottle of water to me. "You need it more than I do. And I could easily buy another one on my way."All I did was to look at him and not the bottle he's giving. But he looked more exhausted than me. I refused to take his offer. "No thanks, you're more tired than me. And, aren't you going to stay in the clubroom with Aspen? You're his friend, right?" He just shrugged his shoulders, meaning to say he wouldn't stay that long. "No, I've got works in class and I don't want to interrupt your privacy." "Eh? What privacy?! He didn't say that I should be the only person to hear what he's going to tell," I told him in a chopped voice so Jasper ended up waving his b

We had no class sessions for the whole day so I still ended up staying in the musical clubroom but this afternoon, with Aspen and the rest already. We only did random things for fun inside. Even if I got the best opportunity to stay with him this morning, at least we enjoyed the afternoon.I was satisfied, I was still contented with this accomplishment I need to tell to Mezakiel. It was always fun being with Aspen. He's not a boring person, he's nice and he's a listener.While I was taking my stroll on the sideroad all the way back to my apartment, I heard Coraline's repeating call of my name from behind. "Wait! Karin!" I stopped and waited for her to catch me up until we're both walking together. I creased my brows. "Do you really need to run with full speed to catch me up?" I asked worriedly. She just smirked.Really? It's always the good tea that motivates her to approach me as fast as she could. "You're right, ye

Seconds already passed yet Maddison haven't told me what she's about to tell me. I was so sure that she's intentionally plotting a suspense on our talk as if she's making me worry right now. And the only thing for me to do to not show any fear of what she's going to tell was to act calmy. And I succeeded. "Are you actually---" Someone cut her words off when a strange woman, wearing her familiar school uniform interrupted our talk. I heaved a sigh out of relief. What's she going to ask me? Thanks to this someone. Maddison and I were speechless from the sudden intrusion of a girl on our table. Her lips were slightly trembling out of exhaustion and tension. She turned her head on my direction, looking into my eyes. "S-Sorry for disturbing your happy talk and your lunch. But I'm afraid, I need to talk to Karin." She pulled my wrist and I wasn't able to stop her that even Maddison only watched us from exiting the foodchain.

There was this extreme tremolus feeling that has been drowning me. I've been gulping thrice in every ten seconds yet Aspen's more troubled, the way he gripped on my wrist, he was slightly shaking.What's making him worry all of a sudden? Just because his brother appeared and he's unalarmed? I shouldn't judge, they may be siblings and his brother might look formal and nice, that wouldn't make me believe that they're in a good relationship. There's a problem between them. Aspen's not okay with him. "I'll go somewehere else, and don't follow us," Aspen warned him who was just leaning on the car. "You don't need to see me here." He's really far away from the Aspen we're hanging out with. Wren Asher Medina's giving him a cold mode. "Well." Wren clapped his hands once. "Fine with me for I only came here to check your new friend." Aspen's eyes turned into slits. "Have I ever mentioned Karin to you? Never. And I never have any plan for you two to meet." It felt like I was poured with a v

Mezakiel's sudden arrival here was to see me all along but I was surprised when he told me that Sadie informed him about me, walking with another guy. I have no idea on how Sadie had seen us during that moment, what was she even doing in this place at that time anyway? After drinking the water I gave him because he's too exchausted from running--- and he even demander me some, Mezakiel sat properly on the couch. We're parallel."And what's wrong with Aspen's older brother's company with me? We just talked, that's all." "That's the problem here." Mezakiel pointed me. "What's the talk about? What did you talk about?" I gulped. Should I tell him? Of course I must. Although it's reslly hard to remark all those negativities Wren shared about Aspen, I should tell it to Mezakiel. I wanter to assure if Wren's true to what he's saying. If he's not lying. That what if Aspen's really faking? What if he's not really interested when I'm around him. He's just trying to be nice. Stop it, Karin.

I was occupied for the past three days because the preparation for the Campus Festival's just a week ahead. The President of our class was assigned to help the higher officials of the school and as the second person who occupied the position, I was tasked to lead all my classmates for work. With all my exhaustion, I let put a massive breath and settled down on my seat. It's been three days since the last time I saw Aspen. The las time we met was when we went out for dinner and stayed at the Park. I'd never seen him because he's too busy and same as me. Badly, I couldn't contact Mezakiel anymore. He didn't see my texts nor answer my calls two days ago. That guy, he advised me for so many times that I just need to contact him if I need something and he's out of reach now. But it's okay! I don't need him for now anyway. I can handle myself, and there's no time making a move for the stake these days. "Hey!" Coraline tapped my shoulder and she still looked so lively even uf we're both

I properly dressed myself to accomplish the best look I could display for a dinner with Jasper. It's not a special dinner date or anything that gives malice between the both of us. We just wanted to talk about something so necessary. I went outside the building and even the Landlady, Miss Acosta let her mouth agape. She was too stunned to see me in my red dress again. "Good night Miss Acosta!" I greeted happily but she was too stressed to look back at the TV screen of the lobby. "You better go home early! Kids these days in a date couldn't be trusted, you kid!" "Thank you for your concern!" I replied and waved my hand but she just pouted like she didn't care. I left the building and my eyes caught Jasper's figure. He's wearing his casual shirt and pants like it's just a usual errand at all. "You dressed up very well, you're very formal!" he commented when he let me hop into the shotgun seat. He revved the engine. "I don't just go out with a not-so-presentable look." He let out a s

I quickly exited his car when his questiom surprised me and I was so reckless to leave him. He caught me up when I was busy marching away. "Karin!" He pulled my arms and made me face him. "He treated me because he's so happy that all of you will have the best performance today." I gulped when his stares deepened and he slowly loosened his grip on me. Why's he so bothered about it? And he discovered our so-called secretive meet up last night! "I-I was just curious, I'm sorry. We were just worried why Jasper didn't show up to our party last night." He shrugged and we continued walking. "And I was about to ask you on your place. You were together yesterday too so I thought you might know."I lowly gasped and looked at him. Unlike before, he couldn't look at me in the eyes, unlike the previous talks we both had, he's always smiling and straightforward. He's changed---no, he's odd today. "Y-You saw us together yesterday?" "Because Jasper wasn't with us the whole day. And I saw you wit

Love Over Gamble Chapter 40
Tomorrow morning, after we went back home with our farewells, I prepared myself to face Wren and tell him that I'd be quitting the gamble. Mezakiel and I had dealt about my decision and he said it's not on his part to decide because what he wanted was for my sake as well. And it made me appreciate his concern and understanding to my side. Even if I couldn't grant his goal to pay back Sadie using the prize, he still didn't mind his failure. He focused thinking about what's best for me. Since he's the one who involved me. Yesterday, I used all my time explaining the complete story to Coraline to fix my problem with her. Or if we ever called that as a problem since on my part, we didn't fight. There was just a mistake I didn't try fixing with her immediately.So I mended what was needed to be mended between us yesterday. And it also felt so light to share her all the things I've been through. This day arrived, and my plan to meet Wren wouldn't change. There're lots of things I need
Love Over Gamble Chapter 39
Our last and third day in this outing arrived and today, my plan was to talk to Coraline and tell everything to her when we get back home. And of course, I have a plan to talk to Aspen before he leaves and transfers.I wanted to tell him all my fault regarding the gamble as well so I wouldn't be keeping secrets to him anymore before we could even rarely talk and see each other.Yes, things happened so fast and unexpectedly. They happened too instantly that I didn't even get the chance to prepare myself and my decision. Everything occurred too rapidly that we both happened simply, fleetingly and it's hardly acceptable for us. We all went up early to wander the beauty of some rock formations by the beach and to have some viewing of the greatly-built windmills. The windmills were so pretty that we almost stayed for a couple of hours to just stare on it and learn a lot of things about it from our tour guide. And ever since I left our room earlier, Coraline didn't talk to me. I understood

After we enjoyed the speedboat ride, it was unexpected for the rest to try the speedboat and there, the awkwardness began. I introduced Mezakiel to them and Coraline was dead curious why I told everyone that he's a friend and not a frigging cousin. Great, because she knew Mezakiel as my cousin. "What on Earth? Liar!" Coraline pouted and darted me the darkest stare ever. "You lied, you said he's a cousin. Why?" "You know, why? Because it would be very hard for you to believe that he's just a friend to me that time. Who would believe that a random, stranger guy would be the one you'd see in my apartment?" And her lips twitched in annoyance. But I had a point, that time when Coraline caught Mezakiel in my apartment was very thrilling to the point that I just made up my mind, blurting out that he's a relative to me. So we would be far away from issues and suspicions."That still didn't sound good to me. That was a long-term lie," she added which made me very guilty. I held her hand. "I

As if nothing happened at all, like there was no misunderstanding. That we're okay, like normal friends who'd not look so sorry toward each other at all. That's what we looked like when we met by the van where we'd hop in for a ride. I did expect him to be here with the outing because it was Maddison herself who invited us all. She said it's a trip before they'd transfer and I believe I actually wanted to go because of the fact that I'd regret missing this one after sembreak. Knowing Jasper, Maddison and him would sooner transfer. And we didn't even talk properly to fix some sort of misunderstandings. And to fix what was needed to be fixed at the same time. So I hope, I could at least make a progress at this trip, as my opportunity."I have carsicks when I sit at the backseat," Coraline complained while paying the bags of chips. We're buying the snacks for everyone. "Then don't sit at that part. Try occupying one by the front part." "Will you sit with me?" she asked and why did she
Love Over Gamble Chapter 36
He told me that there's no time to waste, so I dated him. I was affected by the pressure and fear he showed. Because I didn't want to regret that we didn't even have to go out properly before he'd transfer and live across a distance. Because I thought it's also the best way for us, to go out despite being in a relationship. But I was so lost, I was so confused and reckless that I accepted it knowing I've been yearning for a moment where there were no problems. Like, I just wanted to be with him where no one's stopping us. And the date was the only chance we had. But I thought it's too simple to let ourselves go with the flow before we're too late. I didn't even mind too much that we're just dating to not regret things even though we sincerely have feelings toward each other. That was so immature of me. And this time, I was kept on being bugged by his words that we need to stay like that. To keep what we're doing as secrets. And it stings me especially when I saw him with Maddison
Love Over Gamble Chapter 35
Out of my surprise and curiosity, I had no doubts from approaching them both. Good thing their eyes also caught me, there was a flash of shockness in their eyes. Jasper was more puzzled to see me, and let me catch them, dating. If they're dating. "Hey," I called. They both waved and smiled. "How are you, Karin? My, news tells me that you and Aspen aren't still open for communications." Oh, okay. Even she was aware from that issue until now. But I hope she's not aware of Aspen's confession, and our secret date. I nodded but I simply stopped when my eyes caught their hands. They were just holding their hands! I just saw it correctly! They immediately let their hands go when I noticed them so I pretended not to see it. I coughed. "Ah, yeah, haha! But I think we're both okay. This problem between us will pass by." But yes, no matter how optimistic I am from my words, they know almost everything. Maddison's aware that Wren and Kiana were soon to be engaged. That Aspen's still ground
Love Over Gamble Chapter 34
"What? He's merciless!" I complained, Mezakiel and I met once again and went out to talk about how Wren's going to handle the punishment. Mezakiel finished his glass of soda first. "Yes, he's not going to change his mind, the punishment is still running." I sighed. "Why is he so rough? What's the sense of the gamble if he's taking our suspension this long?" I asked, annoyed. He shrugged, it irritated me to see his calm situation. "I don't know, I think he's obviously showing that he doesn't want you to end up with his brother. That dude you like? I mean?""Gosh, I'm aware of that. It's because Wren's going to marry my cousin sooner, for sure." He didn't answer me, he remained silent and enjoyed his meal. Mezakiel's already updated thay my cousin and Aspen's brother who leads this gamble would become engaged soon. And it's hard to stop that. It's not like Mezakiel and I would stop the wedding so I could freely have Aspen and win the gamble. That's funny.Funy enough to annoy me.
Love Over Gamble Chapter 33
A week passed by and the hassle examination finally ended. After the exam, sembreak's already waving and I am dead prepared for it. Gosh, if only I coud go out with my Grandma again to have a trip but I badly needed to find a way to talk to Aspen. The last time we talked was that night. When he confessed his feelings to me. When I realized I couldn't give him the perfect reaction. I was so dumb to run away out of the total startlement. Thank goodness I decided not to jump on the sea and just end my life happily when he finally said he like me. Gosh, that was so unforgettable, he didn't know how I didn't sleep that night! "You freak! Did you really study too much that you almost perfected all the subjects?!" Coraline complained. Of course, I was not surprised when I was one of the topnotchers in the exam's result in our batch! Who wuld I blame when I was too motivated in studying? I was recopricated! "That's odd for you to not believe! It's because I studied very well, unlike you."
Love Over Gamble Chapter 32
As if there's going to be a chance for me to feel comfortable? Are my parents this serious? Of all places and chances for me to get away from the sources of my problems, why did it still follow me? Look, even if minutes alreast passed by, I was still getting suffocated by the intense ambience of the dining place. Despite the jolly presence reining because of the lively talk of our parents, I still could not make myself calm. I tried to swallow my food again and it's very, very hard to do it. Not because it's Kiana's not-so-pleasant cook but because of him. I dropped my fork and spoon before attempting to glance at him. He remained fixated on his food. Never have I ever caught him looking at me. And that's really suffocating me. I sighed again, I think I've been sighing for so many times since the dinner started. I caught Kiana who's already glancing at me and it's so clear that she could understand what's between me and the guy in front of me."Something wrong? Kiana?" Wren interrupt
