2024-10-29 19:42:56After school, Hayley was told to submit their activity sheets to the senior high faculty room. Like told, she went there and since Miss Rayze wasn't there, she just left them in the teacher's table.
On her way out, she reached for the doorknob but someone had already put his hand around it. She turned her head to see who it was and her brows immediately raised at Eren.
"I can do it myself," she tells him.
"I know but I'm a gentleman so," He turned the doorknob and pushed it open for her. "An apology for that night."
"I don't need one."
Hayley flashed a smile and walks out. But as soon as she was three steps away, Eren had grabbed her arm, making her look back with a frown.
"Let go of me!" She wiggles her arm but he would not budge. "I'm going to kick your balls if you don't let go of me."
Chuckling, Eren let her go and she glares at him. What the hell is this dude's problem with her? She's already avoiding them but they keep att

In the living room, Hayley and Kenji sat across from each other, their eyes hazed with anger. The atmosphere was filled with tension from them."Now what?" she questions, crossing her arms across her chest. "I'm tired, Ken doll!""You're not tired. You're damn pissed at something.""So, what if I am? It shouldn't concern you," she sneered, looking away. "It's none of your business.""You're my business! Are we really going to talk about this again, Hayley? Are we going back to square one with your rules again? What's wrong? Freaking communicate with me!"Oh yes, her rules... She isn't supposed to care about Kenji and she isn't but earlier. It sent her to her boiling damn point! Looki

On their way home, Hayley could not dare look at Kenji. She is too ashamed about her confession and although he confessed too, she can never trust a guy's words.As soon as they parked, Hayley had her hand on the handle and pulled it. Unfortunately, all doors were locked and she hears him chortle."I knew you were going to go out as soon as we get here."Hayley cleared her throat, withdrawing her hand from the handle and facing front. She chews on her lower lip. There is no escaping it, she has to face him now."Andrea and I don't have any special relationship, Hayley. Yeah, I used to screw up with her but that's about it. Nothing happened last night and if you had stayed longer, you would know I dragged her out.""I hate guys who fuck around," she uttered."If I knew I was going to like you, I would not have fucked them. I would've waited for you. If I could go back in time. I'll stay clean for you. You can't put someone's past

Mafu together with Hayley, Eleanor and Jasper played PUBG mobile during their break. At first, it was just Hayley and Mafu but when Jasper heard the gunshots, he joined them, and soon enough Eleanor downloaded the game to play with them. Their grunting and yelling had called their classmates' attention leading them to circle around and watch them play."Anyone who has an extra first aid kit?" Jasper asked. "Someone shot the shit outa me. I see footsteps surrounding the house!""I got it. I got it! I see the man surrounding you-- Oh shit there's another one on the field! He's crawling!" Hayley shouts, laughing at the player that she sees on her8x CQBSS Scope. "Oh, he's freaking dead. I see him."And she started shooting but as soon as it marked a kill, she suddenly got knocked down and she screamed for help. Eleanor was running to help her but unfortunately, she got knocked down too."Be careful of the sniper!""Seen her. Jasper, m

The scent of roses woke up Hayley and when she opened her eyes slowly she sees a bouquet of Ecuadorian roses at her side. Her mouth instantly curved into a smile as she sits up, pulling the blanket with her. She reached the bouquet of pure red roses and smelt them. How she loves the smell of roses!Moving them away from her face, she noticed a piece of paper at the side and she took it. She smiled with her teeth showing when it had an I love you written there. So she wasn't just dreaming, Kenji did really say them.With the bouquet in her hands, she wrapped the blanket around to cover her naked body before standing up and heading towards the door. Her clothes are in the living room, she forgot them last night. But when she was in front of the door, she looked back and saw the stain on the bedsheet. Her eyes widened. Oh, shoot!Hayley was expecting to see Kenji in the kitchen but he wasn't there and when she checked their living ro

It's been days and Hayley still feels that Kenji is upset with her since that morning. Yes, they eat meals together, they go to school together and even go home together but she could feel the damn chills. That day, she didn't mean it like how Kenji had taken it. And he had a point though. She should be planning things on her own and not become her mother's freaking barbie doll. Darn it! Why are problems coming at her all at once? Even Andrea kept on glaring at her whenever they meet in the hallways. Like she damn cares about getting bullied! All these made her sigh heavily as she rested both her arms on the desk. "You sound like Kenji right now." She raised her head and saw Mafu resting his arms on top of his chair, plastering a smirk. "What's up?" "I think Kenji is upset with me," she answers, "He misunderstood something and now we are like this." "Do you want help?" "What kind of help can you give?" She raises a brow and Mafu plasters

Hayley could not speak, neither could Mafu, their tongues were tied and their feet felt so heavy like some concrete is stuck there. But then Jasper step forward, his face remained the same."We heard there's a fever. We came to visit," he answers.That's when Hayley and Mafu had their senses back. She had to curse herself for being so shocked at what she saw."It's a mess inside but, do come in."And they welcomed themselves in, sitting on the floor because there was no chair there, just a center table. Eleanor put down her child and faced them. Hayley could feel how shy she is."We brought some medicines and some food that might get him better." Jasper handed Eleanor the plastic bag. It is just then that Hayley realized, they were all medicine for kids. Does Jasper know all along?"Thank you," Eleanor softly said. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you guys.""The kid is cute. He looks like a mini-Elea when you have a straight face," Mafu utte

Lucas lied to his sister. When Cassandra talked him over about studying abroad, he didn't really accept the offer. Because of him, his sister had to marry off someone and he hates when he can't do anything about it. When he told Hayley about leaving, he plans to work abroad. It's just better than accepting any kind of help from Cassandra who would surely slap at his face that without her help, he'd be in the dirt. Today, he is on his way to visit Hayley unannounced. After all, his sister isn't the type to go out so much. If she goes out, she'd be just visiting the orphanage, go to school or buy cakes, that's what she told him. In front of the tall building, he inhaled deeply and blew it out, walking towards the entrance. The guard was looking at him with suspicions in their eyes but he ignored them. He walk to the front desk and asked which floor Hayley Grimroe's unit was. "Uhm... are you related to Miss Hayley, sir?" the wo

Under the beautiful blue sky, Eleanor and Jasper walked out of the church sealing their promise in front of a lot of people. Then they went to the reception where the afterparty is held. It was not as grand as my wedding but it was happier. As the party was over, the newlywed made their way to their car after bidding goodbye to us for their honeymoon. Eren and Greg with their girlfriends went home. Mafu and Clarielle-- which I never thought had something-- had gone to enjoy the night. That leaves us, Kenji, Bren and I to do something fun. Bren was entrusted to us after all. "So, what do you like to do, baby Bren?" "I'm not a baby anymore, aunt Hayhay. I'm a big boy now!" This makes me laugh. Bren is just seven an

Hayley's heart was just crushed the moment she heard the name. She felt everything lost in time and even when it was just a second, to her, she was transmitted somewhere dim and slow. Until Clarielle took her hand taking her back to the real world. "I've heard so much about you, sister! Finally, I get to see you in person!" Clarielle continues to get excited. Is this girl really calling her sister? It could have been sweet if Clarielle wasn't Kenji's new girl but she is. Hayley flashes a faint smile. "It's nice to meet you too." It's nice to get slapped like this, words she can't say so she continues to lift the corners of her mouth higher. "Though I'm not so familiar with you, I've heard your name twice." "Oh, right! I'm so

Before they know it, the trip was over. Hayley thought of staying because she fell in love with the ocean and the underwater creatures. She wanted to keep swimming and submerge herself with the ocean. When she's swimming, she feels like she's floating away from her problems, her painful feelings. But the sun always sets and she has to go home. As they board the plane, they all talked about Jasper and Eleanor's wedding. Hayley had almost forgotten about the date. Luckily, they are discussing everything now. "I hope you guys are free during the practice. It won't take long and it's maybe just two or three times," Eleanor stated. "I'm always free," Mafu said, raising his hand. "But I do need a favor to ask. I'll text you the details later in private." "Are you going to steal Eleanor from Jasper?" Greg joked, softly chuckling which earned a glare from Mafu. "That's why Lily doesn't like you!" "Hey, Lily likes me!" "Oh c'mon!

Greg for no reason woke up early and head out to see the morning sun. Surprisingly, he saw Kenji in the lobby with a backpack on. Greg frowned approaching Kenji."Yo! I thought you leave in the evening? What's with the bag?" Greg asked."Change of plans," Kenji told him like it's no big deal that he is leaving. "I have something important to do. I'll hang out next time.""Next time? Yo! You said it the last time but we never saw you then, you piece of trash! Don't give me that I'll hang out next time!""Chill bro!" Kenji tapped his shoulder while chuckling. "I'm staying in the country for good so chill out! Just give me this time.""Does Hayley know that you are leaving e

The night was fantastic, the foods served by the resort are really delicious that Bren really enjoyed. Their surrounding was peacefully harmonizing with everything except Kenji and Hayley. They noticed how the two of them are glaring at each other since they were sitting the opposite sides. Guess their sweetness must have expired, all of their friends thought. To lighten the night, Mafu took grabbed his glass and raised it up. "Cheers to us gathering peacefully!" he cheered. When Greg raised his glass, the rest of them just followed so it's not so awkward for everyone. Hayley had a glass of sparkling wine that she raised and when she brought it down, closer to her lips, Kenji suddenly took her drink and drank it. Everyone ha

"Do you think they're alright?" Eleanor asked the people inside the van. "Hayley was so mad, she is going cut your head off, Mafu.""They will be fine! At least she won't have any other escape!""I feel bad for Hayley," Greg stated. "We are sabotaging her.""Just chill guys! We will know what happens when we see them!" Eren told them.But Eleanor was still worried about her best friend. She is a terrible friend for agreeing with the group's plan to bring back Hayley and Kenji. Although she heard Kenji say that he loves her the same, to Eleanor, Kenji seemed changed."Something weighing your mind?" Jasper noticed her blank stare."Yes. I'm just worried about Hayley," she replied, flashing a smile. "Kenji just feels different. Like he is back to being that unapproachable guy who puts a line you're unable to cross.""It's something understandable. They spent four years apart. Any person would try to change bad habits but I think Kenji is

Hayley froze in where she was. She doesn't even know if she should look back and gaze at the face she misses or pretend to be cool about his sudden reappearance. "Yo! Dude!" Mafu cheered that snapped Hayley back. As Mafu runs to hug Kenji, Hayley took the chance to turn to see her husband. Kenji looked way better than when she first met him. He was brighter, more handsome and his wide smiles were back. Tears were starting to form in the corners of her eyes so she looked away. "Man, you didn't tell me you were coming!" Greg yells. They were crowding around Kenji and so Hayley took this chance to go on ahead. She doesn't know how to face Kenji. Everything about him changed and he didn't seem to mind her too. It will only embarrass her if she acts close when they are not close anymore. At the waiting area, Hayley immediately took off the rings on her finger and put them inside her bag. Why did nobody tell her that Kenji was comi

Time flies so quickly and it has been four years since Kenji disappeared on them. Only one semester left in college and Hayley will be graduating soon. The first two years, she was still hopeful to find Kenji, hopeful that he will return but then as soon as she was on the third year of waiting, that hope she has slowly faded. Whenever Hayley asks about Kenji to the guys, they would tell her they don't know where he is at the moment. They said Kenji never once contacted them too. Even though she thinks they lie, she would not blame them. After all, it was her who hurt their friend. Hayley sighed, looking at the big house in front of her. She is using it as a reference for her next project but the fresh breeze and the sky are just reminding her of the meadow. Four years... it has been four long years but the rings were still on her ring finger. "Your thoughts are flying somewhere again!" When she turned to her right, she saw Eleanor who just returned fr

After Kenji left, Cassandra went to her daughter's room. She sat on her daughter's bed and looked at her peacefully resting. There were tears in the corners of her eyes. "Oh my little flower," she softly cries, flashing a sad smile. "I thought I should grow you with thorns so no one would hurt you. I've forgotten that you can also hurt yourself. Despite that, you have hurt the one you love too. "I am very disappointed in you for hurting someone who truly loved you. I guess you took over from your father. I guess it's my fault too for cutting off your wings. I am truly sorry, Hayley." Cassandra sniffled, wiping her tears gracefully. "Get well soon, my love. Let's hopefully bring back the times we missed because of my fears." After kissing her daughter's cheek, she left the room for her little love to rest. Just as she predicted, her daughter did hurt Kenji and she didn't have to do anything... nothing at all. "This is for the best,"
