I expected this. I looked down and breathe heavily.
After calming myself, I looked at him and smiled.
“That’s okay, I just tried my luck. Thank you.” I stood up and walked away.
I called my Mom and told her what happened. As expected, she was disappointed.
She told me she’ll talk to the Beatrix to inform them that I agreed to the engagement.
Mom texted me to meet with Brx after my class. I sighed and replied, “Okay,” before putting my phone back inside my bag.
I walked back to our room and sat in my seat. I was staring at the ceiling the whole time our professors are discussing in front.
Drake did not attend the class for the first time. I was a bit guilty because I know it’s because of what I said. I’m planning to apologize to him once we saw each other again.
After class, I went outside the school campu

“Not enjoying the party?” a voice suddenly crack the silence in my head.“Oh heck! You scared the shit out of me!” I turned around only to see a tall and masculine man. He looked like the ones I see in movies. Serious and mysterious. I smirked at my thought.“Oh sorry miss. I saw you spacing out so I kind of interrupted the silence. Uh sorry?”

Love and Madness CHAPTER 3
I woke up with a tear in my eyes. I touched my face and realized that my tears dried up. I have been crying myself to sleep last night. Again.And then I remember, who wouldn't cry when you're sister's friends don't like you. Who wouldn't cry when they made you as their laughing stock? Who wouldn't cry when your sister did not even mind it? Who wouldn’t cry when your sister is laughing with them? Who wouldn’t?“Fely? Are you ready?” I heard Ghale outside my bedroom. Funny how she acts like nothing happene

Drake has been spacing out. He does not pay attention to whatever I was saying. He would just stare above and sigh.“56,” I counted, and at last, I caught his attention. He had been like this since we walked out of the cafeteria. “It’s your 56th sigh.”“You’re counting?” he asked and laughed. “I’m fine,” he said. “I did not ask,” I replied and continued eating. We are in asecr

“Are you okay?” Ghale asked me. She panicked earlier when a car almost hit me. Almost. Almost!Shit!What the heck is wrong with the driver? I was about to walk towards her car when suddenly, a car, driving so fast almost hit me. She was on the opposite side of the street with her car. I just went back because I left my phone and then I was almost hit!“I’m gonna hunt that driver down! Did you see the plate number?” she looked so mad while walking back and forth in front of me. We were beside her car, talking.“No. And don’t w

“You’re not full yet?” I asked Drake who is still eating the food he bought. I haven’t eaten a piece yet because he kept on slapping my hand every time I'd get one.“No. I’m hungry, I told you.” I could barely understand what he was trying to say because his mouth is full. “Okay,” I just replied. I was about to get a burger when he slapped my hands again.“Ow! What was that for?!” I asked him, I was about to eat the burger when he turned pale. He was gasping for air making me panicked.“H-hand m-me the wa-water.” He said, hardly speaking. I immediately grabbed the water and h

Love and Madness CHAPTER 19
I was fuming mad while walking back to our room. Ian was walking behind me. He would sometimes laugh whenever he would hear me groan because of frustration.“Hey,” he called me while obviously trying to stop himself from laughing.I rolled my eyes and turned to face him.“We have a practice after class.” He reminded me making me breathe heavily to stop myself to shout my frustration.I sat on my seat next to Drake while Ian walked to his seat. I saw how his shoulder moved, obviously laughing.“Hey,” Drake called me.I looked at him and raised a brow.“You look mad.” He noticed and I rolled my eyes at him before answering.“I am mad.”Instead of thinking so much about it, I thought about what my parents wanted me to do.I looked at Drake again and saw him looking at me.“Can we talk later?” he immedi

“Why did you call?” I asked Drake on the line. It was past 10 in the evening. I was about to sleep when my phone rang.“Can we talk?”“Drake, do you know what time it is?”“Yes, uhm, don’t worry. This will be short.” I nodded my head like he’s in front of me.“Okay, fire away.” I heard him laughed a little before clearing his throat.“Remember what I told you earlier?”I cleared my throat before answering him, “Yeah,” in a rhythmic tone.I could imagine him smiling when I answered him but I chose to ignore it.Damn, this is awkward.“I wanted you to know that I’m serious about it.” He said, clearly uncomfortable with what he said.I laughed a little, picturing him scratching the back of his neck.“Okay?” I heard him sigh before speaking.“Can I court you?” it took me awhile to under

I couldn’t believe what I just knew.However, what I don’t understand is why. Why didn’t she told me that? Did our parents knew about it?Of course they did, Dad stopped smoking because of it.But, why didn’t she take medications? Second-hand smoke can surely be medicated.Unless, there is a reason behind it.My head hurts because of it. The more I knew something, the more it confuses me.Why do I feel like my whole life is a lie?I sat on my seat beside Drake. He was looking at me intently.I looked at him and smiled a little. Damn, my mind is about to explode.My mind was absent the whole time. I didn’t even listen to our teachers, glad they didn’t noticed that.When the clock turns 4:30, I packed my stuff and went out.Not minding Drake, calling me.I was waiting for Ghale in the

I looked at him flatly while he is still smiling.He was looking at me like he is waiting for a miracle.“Are you on drugs, Drake?” I asked him and looked up.Trying to look for a miracle to happen. There might be a moon that will show up.“It’s morning. There’s no moon.” I answered his question earlier.He looked at me with wide eyes, then he looked down and laughed so hard while holding his stomach.“Shit, my stomach hurts.” He said in the middle of his laugh.“What?” I asked him, confused.“You really are unbelievable. Yo're so adorable and just so cute!” He said and pinched my cheeks.“Ow,” I glared at him making him laugh again.“You don’t know the message behind it, do you?” he asked and levelled his head on mine."I'm not literally speaking about the moon, baby." his voice was husky, making m

“What happened to you after that?” I asked him after a long silence between us.“We didn’t officially broke up. We just… didn’t talked for a while. We didn’t talked about our relationship. We didn’t talk... at all.” He explained.I nodded my head and was about to asked something again when my phone rang.“Excuse me,” he nodded so I answered the call.“Hey, you’re not going home yet?” she asked. Shit! I almost forgot about her.
Love and Madness CHAPTER 14
“Hey,” I heard Drake’s voice behind me.I turned around and saw him walking fast to come near me.“Hey,” I greeted him. I remembered Mom and Dad’s words again.I sighed and when I noticed that he was looking at me, I forced a smile.“Uh, let’s go together?” I nodded and was about to continue walking when I saw Stephanie stepping out from their van.Drake stopped too and looked at her.I continued walking when Stephanie called Drake.“Hi, Drey!” she smiled. Drake forced a smile and waved at her

“Yes, I did asked her to go with me but…” I sighed at him. Looks like he’s struggling to explain to me. I was leaning myself to his car while he’s in front of me.I sighed again and chose to get inside his car.“Let’s go,” I said when he suddenly grabbed my arm. “Fely—““It’s okay. Stop explaining.” He sighed and opened the door for me to get in.We were about to eat dinner in a restaurant but since I’m not in the mood, I decided to go home earlier than we expected.

“Yes? Who’s this?” I asked the person calling from my phone. It’s an unregistered number but I chose to answer it.And I don’t know why. Again.I'm getting weirder and weirder each day!“Good morning, Fely!” a jolly voice is heard from the other line.“It this you Drake?” I asked. His voice seems familia
