“Alright, brother, thank you.” Rai said after he ended the call with Rynier.
“Ah, Rynier… he is always overprotective of his siblings.” Victor can’t help but comment after they found out that it was Rynier who was calling Rai, telling Rai that he (Rynier) will pick up Rai.
“Yes, that’s right… from Rai to Raina…” Reiner muttered while nodding in agreement. “Well, sure, he has to be overprotective of Raina since Raina is a girl. But Raiver?” he said, then made a pause. “Okay, Raiver also needs to be protected since even us guys are not really that safe in this world.” He said.
They all nodded in agreement. Naturally, Victor and Reiner understand Rynier’s overprotectiveness since they have their own younger brothers. Thus
“Stelle.” Kaiser called Stelle before Stelle could enter the comfort room on the second floor after he accompanied Spade and Stelle upstairs for them to use the two comfort rooms here.“Yes, senior?” Stelle answered and turned. He can’t help but think if this is the time that a senior, like Kaiser, would finally talk with a junior, like him, to impart his (Kaiser) insight with him as a graduating student who is going to enter a new phase in his life – like the high school, while for Kaiser it is entering the college?But, facts told Stelle that he thought too much after he heard Kaiser’s unexpected words.“Do you still remember our secret?” Kaiser asked in a low voice.Stelle’s mind turned blank for a moment before he froze after his brain finally processed what Kaiser said. ‘secret’? he thought before his eyes slowly widened when he realized it. That’s right! My secret that senior Kaiser accidentally witnessed and senior Kaiser’s secret which senior Kaiser willingly revealed to me! H
Stelle felt like something had exploded in his head after he heard what Kaiser said. “WHAT?!?!” he exclaimed in shock as he turned to face Kaiser. "No, that can't be…" he muttered as his face turned pale in horror. "You turning to a girl is already unbelievable - " he said as he looked at Kaiser as his heart was beating wildly because of his chaotic emotions due to a reaction to what he heard. " - then there is him being a god - " he turned to Spade who just shrugged his shoulders. "Well, me being a god really is more surprising than me being cursed too to be a girl - " Spade said. Stelle took a deep breath to calm himself. "Then you tell me… that senior Raina… and even senior Sheinna… they are also… also…!" He sharply inhaled when he couldn't take it anymore. This is really shocking, okay?! Him suddenly turning to a girl that day was very, very shocking. But, the goddess Heart appearing and appeasing him somewhat calmed him.Then there is that time when Kaiser accidentally saw him
Midton Residence, Saturday, afternoon.“You don’t want me to tell my brother about this?” Stelle, who came to visit Rai, Shane, and Spade in the Midton residence, looked at Shane with his eyes wide in disbelief. “Why?” he asked, before he turned to look at Rai. Suddenly, he fell silent. “… how can you be Raiver Midton…?” he muttered and sighed. He still can’t believe it.Two former playboys during their middle school days became girls! Who would believe this?! definitely not Stelle, well, if it was before. But now that he was also cursed accidentally to turn into a girl… Stelle has no choice but to believe it. After all, Raina and Sheinna really looked like Raiver and Shane, respectively. So, the truth is not that difficult for him to accept. Especially Sheina is actually Shane, since the way Sheinna acted is really like Shane. Not to mention that Sheinna knows many things that only Shane knows about, including Shane, Reiner, and Stelle’s childhood and about the Wellday family. So, St
Making someone fall in love with you is truly an unacceptable act if you will not love them back. It is being a scum. It is playing with someone’s feelings. And Rai and Shane are already over it as they already quit being playboys. The same with Kaiser, their senior who is a popular playboy in the high school department with Victor – Vince’s elder brother. Rai, Shane, and Kaiser, even though they were playboys, but they don’t want to hurt other feelings. They don’t want to do it in the first place. But, they were scarred, thus they had done it. They hurt people, especially the girls. So, they accepted their punishment for being cursed to turn into girls.But, who would have thought that the solution for their current situation – the way for their curse to be lifted, is to hurt someone’s feelings, when they already quit doing that?! Thus, they can understand Rai’s decision to not do the mission. As for Kaiser, he was actually happy being cursed to be a girl as he can make it as if his
“What’s the matter?” Cole asked when he arrived in their classroom and saw that Stelle looked dispirited. “Do you feel ill? Or is there a problem at home?” he asked. His eyes and voice are filled with concern. He is Stelle’s best friend, as well as classmate so it is just right for him to be concerned for Stelle.Stelle, whose face was buried in his arms as he slumped into his table, turned to look at Cole. “Cole, you’re here…” he muttered, still looking dispirited.“What’s wrong?” Cole asked. “Did something happen?” he softened his voice, which sounded soothing.Stelle’s worry really eased when he heard Cole’s voice. “Well…” he muttered as he hesitated. Unfortunately, he can’t even hesitate since in the first place, he can’t tell his secret to anyone, including Cole even if Cole is his best friend. This made him feel guilty, and he bit his lip. He feels bad for keeping secrets from his best friend. He doesn’t deserve to be Cole’s best friend.Thinking this, Stelle just made himself f
Stelle closed his eyes, feeling ashamed. “I am sorry, Cole…” he apologized. He really wanted to tell Cole about his problem. To share this problem to Cole. Not to mention that he feels uneasy in keeping secrets instead of being honest, like he always did, to Cole. After all, Cole is his best friend, and the person that he trusts the most aside from Reiner.Yet, right now, he is lying to Cole. This made Stelle feel like he is a liar. That he doesn’t deserve Cole… to be his best friend, much less even a friend. Because he hid a secret to his friend, who he should wholeheartedly trust, this makes Stelle feel bad. He is a bad person. He doesn’t deserve anybody’s trust, including Reiner’s trust.Reiner… brother… Stelle thought when he recalled Reiner. He closed his eyes and buried his face again in his arms. He felt like he doesn’t have the face to face Reiner and Cole anymore. He can only bury his face in shame as he hides Shane and the others’ secrets. He chose Shane, he knows, over his
“Stelle went with Cole to go to his house?” Reiner muttered when he heard what Stelle and Cole’s classmate said after he asked them where Stelle was since Stelle was not answering his text messages and calls. He felt worried, thinking that something had happened to Stelle. But it seems that he was overthinking it since Stelle actually left with Cole. “Thanks.” He said and then left, going out of the middle school building to send Stelle a message.“Reiner?” a female voice called.Reiner, who was about to send a text message to Shane to ask him if they could go out tonight, raised his head and saw Sheinna standing not far from him. “Sheinna.” He muttered.The ‘girl’ nodded at Reiner and smiled. “Went to fetch Stelle?” ‘she’ asked.Reiner nodded and walked towards ‘her’. “Yes. But Stelle, that kid, actually went with Cole to his house without telling me!” he said and helplessly sighed as they walked away.Sheinna chuckled. “Isn’t Stelle in safe hands?” ‘she’ smiled.“Yes, of course, and
“How the hell can this happen…?” Rai asked and sighed as he and Spade watched Shane leave, looking very dejected, as Shane headed to where Reiner was waiting for him after Reiner texted Shane to meet him.Earlier, just after their class, Shane left to try ‘seducing’ Reiner again and see if he could try the mission. Because he knows that not doing the mission will get him to nothing. It will just be him who will suffer. Also, he knows that the goddess Heart will just do nothing if she knows that they won’t do their missions.And now, after hearing what Spade told him, Shane was really right in his guess. But –“I really can’t do it!” Shane told Spade and Rai as he collapsed on the ground after they went to a hidden area. His tears fell. “Every time I go closer to him, I feel like I am cheating on him even if it is him that I am cheating with!” he said as he covered his face with both his hands. He really wanted to slap himself. “Because I know that it is not me – Shane! I am fully awar
The next day.“So… Cole was actually also a ‘chosen one’ like Spade and Heart?” Rai muttered as they looked at Cole in surprise after Stelle told them everything that Cole confessed to Stelle.In fact, that Friday night, it was supposed to be Stelle who should confess to Cole. And Stelle did, as himself. But before Stelle could confess to Cole as Stella, before Stelle could even escape to change to Stella, Cole suddenly stopped him. And before Stelle could react to ask Cole why did he stop him, Cole suddenly confessed to him, too. Not only of Cole liking him, too, but also Cole as Diamond!One could imagine the shock that Stelle felt that time as he listened to Cole tell him everything, from him being chosen by the ‘gods’ – the King and Queen, up to him meeting Spade and then Heart. But, Spade and Heart don’t know him as Cole, since he appeared before them as just a ball of light.“Yes… I
Midton residence.“What the… hell – “ Rai muttered under his breath as he looked at Vince who was eating his breakfast while seated next to him. A stunned expression is still on Rai’s face while his eyes are wide in disbelief. He really didn’t expect what he heard Vince say to him earlier.“Second is because you are hiding something from me.” Vince said. “It was because last night, you were there as Raina.” He said as he looked at the stunned Rai in the eyes. “You are Raina, Rai. I know everything.” He told him.Rai rubbed his hands on his face, feeling as if he is Harry Potter and Vince is Hagrid earlier as that scene in Sorcerer’s Stone played in his mind where Hagrid told Harry that Harry is a wizard. But jokes aside… &
Compared to the shocking happening on Rai’s side, Shane and Reiner’s meeting is surprisingly calm. Reiner had never found Shane last night, and after a sleepless night, he saw Shane’s message to him this morning telling him to come and meet him. Attached in the message is a location. Reiner then knew that Shane is finally willing to tell him the truth – everything that he has experienced when he was cursed. And he couldn’t thank him more, since he knows how difficult it was for Shane to tell him others about it, including him who he is his lover.Reiner knows that Shane is different from Stelle, who told him about him being cursed. Not only because Reiner is Stelle’s brother, but Stelle is highly dependent on Reiner, too. Stelle is also timid and easily panics, so Stelle immediately told Reiner about him being accidentally cursed. That is why Reiner was surprised that St
But, something unexpected happened on Rai’s side, too. He was just about to eat breakfast after ending his call with Stelle, promising him that he, along with Shane and the others, would see him later. It was then that the butler called him telling him that someone came to see him.“Who is it?” Rai asked as he fixed his clothes to make himself look more presentable.“It was Vincent Dauncy.” The butler answered.Rai’s feet instantly froze when he heard the name. “What?!” he exclaimed. He didn’t expect Vince to come so early this morning. More like, why would Vince come here in the first place?! Is it to find Raina to ask why she confessed to him last night?Rai frowned as he lowered his gaze.
“How did you find out that Raiver was also cursed?” Reiner asked as he and Vince walked around the grove to try looking for Shane in case Shane hasn’t left yet."When I saw Raiver changed, too." Vince answered.Reiner was shocked. "You saw him?!" he exclaimed. “Wait, when?” he asked.“Earlier, when I chased him.” Vince said."But based from your tone, you are convinced before that, that Raiver was cursed.” Reiner said as his forehead knitted.“Yes. And I confirmed it earlier.” Vince explained.“… so it was your suspicion before?” Reiner sighed.Vince looked
Reiner was chasing Shane but because Shane ran into the grove, Reiner was unable to find him for an hour. Shane was really good at hiding, Reiner knows this. So, Reiner can only sigh in defeat and catch his breath.“Reiner.” Vince called from behind him.Reiner turned and saw Vince. He was about to speak, only to freeze when he saw that Vince was holding a black leather shoe. He felt speechless.“Raiver’s?” Reiner spoke, though there is no need to ask. Until now, he still can’t believe that Raina is actually Raiver Midton. But Vince would not lie to him, so he has no choice but to believe it.Vince nodded in affirmation and looked in the direction where Rai disappeared. Reiner didn’t speak and just recalled his and Vince’s
Rai saw Reiner and Shane join them on the dance floor and his heart beat even faster due to nervousness. He saw Spade and the other winked at him, encouraging him. Then, he saw Kaiser who smiled at him, mouthing at him to go for it. But, he didn’t see Stelle. Rai doesn’t know whether Stelle has already confessed to Cole and changed Stella to confess to him againas Stella.Rai turned back to Shane and saw that Shane looked very relaxed. Then, Rai understood that Shane must have let go of all of his worries. Rai can’t help but smile, feeling happy for Shane. His nervousness also disappeared.“Rai?” Vince called when he saw that Rai smiled. “Did something good happen?” he asked.Rai nodded and chuckled. “Yes. I feel very happy.” He answered.
Rai and Shane are sitting on their seats along with Spade who is sitting on Rai’s other side while they stare at the food on the round table. Rynier was sitting beside Spade, while Reiner sat on Shane’s other side. So, among them, it is only Rai and Vince who were separated and are actually seated across from each other. But, they know that Shane and Reiner, and Spade and Rynier, are pairs of couples. They just can’t separate these couples, right?As for Kaiser and Stelle, they have already seen them earlier and are waiting for them to finish talking with their friends and classmates before going to their table to share a table with them. With the presence of the alumni of the school, there is no order in the seating nor the tables except that the area at the front is for the teachers and alumni. Rynier should be with them, but Rynier naturally chose to be with his younger brother Rai and
One month later.“Oh, my gosh! The young miss really looks like the live version of Cinderella!” the makeup artists and hair stylists exclaimed as they looked at the girl in front of them who was standing in front of the mirror, staring at herself.The girl’s hair is tied in a high bun with some of her curled hair locks kissing her cheeks that were blushed red. Her eyelashes are long, fanning her blue eyes as she blinks. Her lips are red like blood, which is a stark contrast to her blue ball gown. But, even if her ball gown is not the same as Cinderella, they still can’t help but think of Cinderella as they look at her. On top of her head is a diamond tiara instead of a blue hairband like Cinderella’s.The girl, who is actually a guy inside, pursed his lips in a forced smile. “Tha
