Everyone sucked in a sharp breath when they heard Rai’s answer. Rai was supposed to say ‘me’, but of course he can’t do that since he is currently a girl due to the curse of that goddess!
“A cousin… I didn’t know that they have a female cousin…!” someone muttered.
“Yes… and it's beautiful, too!” the others added as murmurs and whispers were heard in the classroom.
Rai’s brow can’t help but twitch. Of course he and his elder brother Rynier don’t have a female cousin! Because that ‘female cousin’ is him – Raiver! However, he can’t tell them this. Not only because he is currently a girl and nobody would believe him, but also he recalled the arrangement that his elder brother made for him after his elder
For example, him – Raiver, who is a Midton. His elder brother is the wealthiest man in the country and one of the top in wealth in the world. But, their classmates mentioned him and not his elder brother who was also a top student in their school because he, Raiver Midton, has a stinky reputation in this school as a notorious playboy. People only see the bad and ignore the good.As for Sheinna, she is related to Shane Fornite who is a big contradiction since Shane is both a straight A student and a notorious playboy. The big example of someone not perfect. That you can’t have it all. Thus, their classmates reacted to Sheinna’s introduction. After all, she is actually Shane’s half-sister. They didn’t know that either parent of Shane has another family or that they remarried to another person. And Sheinna and Shane are also the same age!There is also Reiner, who deems Shane as his mortal enemy because he loathed Shane not ‘focusing’ on studying and just played around. Even though Shane
Two hours passed by and two classes were also finished. The bell of the school rang indicating that it is their break time. Rai walked out of the classroom along with Sheinna, Reiner, and Vince. Rai watched the large stream of students heading to the canteen.Rai secretly sighed. He felt like it has been ages since he last saw this scene even though it only has been a day or two. Thinking this, Rai heaved a tired sigh. He suddenly felt exhausted. Even though he has seen this same scene, he is now a girl. This thought makes him feel bitter.“Hm? What’s wrong, Raina?” Sheinna asked when he saw that Rai suddenly looked dispirited.Rai looked at Sheinna and forced a smile. “Nothing.” He answered and shook his head. “Just… a large crowd makes me feel slightly uncomfortable.&rdqu
Damn… why are these two always around us? Rai thought as he looked at Vince and Reiner who were following him and Sheinna as they returned to their classroom now. I just want to be alone with this pretty girl. He thought and looked at Sheinna who was walking beside him. Even though it is bad to lie to Sheinna, who is thinking that he is a girl, Rai could only apologize to her.Who made her be a girl right now? Even he (Raiver) wants to approach Sheinna as a man, well, that is, to hit on her. But unfortunately, right now, he is in a girl’s body. Well, his body was transformed into a girl. So, Rai doesn’t have a choice right now but to approach Sheinna as a girl. Also… Sheinna might not really want to interact with him if he is in his male form.Reiner and Vince are walking behind Rai and Sheinna as they walk back to their classroom. The two have been following them, but they didn’t even buy anything earlier during the break. Now, Reiner and Vince are following them again. Just what are
“Oh?” Reiner’s brow raised as he looked at Vince while they walked towards their seats. “Have you heard of him? Based on your expression earlier when Raina introduced herself before and mentioned her cousin, you didn’t react so I thought that you didn’t know Raiver.” He said.Rai who also returned to his seat with Sheinna perked up his ears to secretly listen to Reiner and Vince’s conversation. And the female students who have finally noticed him on the doorway have scattered and also gone silent, thinking that ‘she’ is angry because ‘her’ cousin was being talked behind her.“Not saying doesn’t mean that I do not know.” Vince slowly spoke.“Then tell me what do you know of him?” Reiner asked with his brow raised. It is because it is surprising for a genius like Vince to actually recall a notorious playboy, or a bad student, like Raiver Midton. He didn’t know that the notorious playboy, or a bad student Raiver Midton would not only be sitting in front of them (though in a girl form) an
Rai’s face is filled with disbelief, but after recalling Vince’s words, he finally had a recollection of it. But, that time, he was just passing by and defended a ‘poor’ student who was obviously bullied. Who would have thought that it would be Vincent Dauncy?! He is not poor at all! He is actually rich and powerful! So how can he be ‘poor’?!If Rai knew at that time that it was Vince, he… Well, he will still help him. After all, one should do good deeds every day. Also, even if it is a guy, bullying is still not good. They are fellow students no matter how powerful one’s family is!Now, Rai understood why Vince didn’t have any reaction after hearing his (Raiver) name from their classmates before. Because he actually has a good impression of him! “So, I – my c – cousin actually…” he muttered and bit his tongue, almost slipping on his words. “He helped you before, so you have a good impression of him?” he said.Vince nodded in affirmation. “Even though he has a bad attitude, his heart
Whoever I give my heart to? Rai thought as a sneer appeared on his lips while he stared at the door where the female student that he had made out just now had left. The pleasure that he felt after his making out with the female student just now was instantly gone after she said those words to him before she left. He treated this as the female student’s revenge because he didn’t take her (virginity) right then and there earlier despite her begging.She obviously likes him, and she wanted to give herself (her virginity) to him as the one that she has chosen. Unfortunately (for her), Rai didn’t take her virginity and just let both of them reach the peak of pleasure and came. So, Rai felt that she avenged herself because of what he did (refused) to her by telling him those words that could ruin Rai’s mood.And now, Rai’s satisfied mood was totally ruined.“Yo~” a playful voice jeered from the window.Rai didn’t need to turn to look who it was. “Shane. Do you have voyeuristic interests now
“I am lucky?!” Shane frowned as he looked at Rai. “I was also turned into a girl!” he told Rai.“Yes, but you can turn back to a guy just by eating apples!” Rai said as he looked at Shane with envious eyes. Earlier, Shane told him that the condition for him to turn back into a guy was to eat an apple or a few of them. Rai thought that was the trigger of Shane’s curse, so it was reasonable. But, if just eating an apple could turn Shane back instantly into a guy, then that would be very unfair to Rai. So, Shane said that the goddess told him that he could turn back into a guy for four hours if he ate an apple. And the maximum number of apples that he could eat are just two.No wonder Rai would see Sheinna, or now Shane, bring apples with him. But, he never ate them. It is because as soon as he eats an apple, Shane would turn back into a guy. And the countdown would then start for him. So, Shane can’t take a risk of when he will turn back into a girl again, that is why he chose to rema
Midton residence.Rai’s expression is complicated as he looks at Shane who is sitting across from him and his mind is still processing what Shane has told him.“What?” Shane asked as he raised his brow at him while looking at him. “You think that I am disgusting because I like a fellow guy?” he asked.Even though his expression looked stern, Rai could see that there is a faint apprehension in Shane’s eyes. “No.” he answered.“Then why is your reaction like that?” Shane asked.“Well… because it was unexpected…” Rai honestly answered. “I mean, I was used to you being a playboy and now, you tell me that you became a playboy to make a guy jealous?” he said and looked at Shane with a bewildered gaze. “I mean… I know that you haven’t touched any of those girls, but my impression of you as a playboy… well…” he muttered as he tried to organize his thoughts.Shane fell silent and his face turned red when he also realized how ridiculous his actions were.“Then, you even want to make Reiner jeal
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
