CHAPTER 12
Last Updated:
2021-08-11 07:11:14I decided not to go back home just for tonight. I sat here at the side of the bridge with a stranger beside me. She's already in a middle adulthood and she's here because she's selling balut, one of the first exotic food delicacies in the Philippines. She talked a lot and I find myself comfortable being with her. She told me that she came from a poor family and has to sell balut in order for her to feed her family. She even told me everything she do isn't easy, but her family is her inspiration for her to continue this. They are happy even though they are poor. But here I am, I have everything I need, I got everything and I can buy all the things I want, however, I am not happy with my life. Isn't it funny? This just proves that life with money won't always make you happy. It is the life with your family that counts.
A cold breeze touched my skin so I sat with my legs together. I hugged both of my knees and I felt the roughening of my skin.
"It's starting to get cold,

I wanted to move but fear has taken over me. How did this guy even get inside?He suddenly placed his index finger on his lips, telling me not to make any noise."Hey, freak. Why are you awake—" Ella rose up from lying when she saw I'm awake. But then her eyes widened when she noticed the guy that's already between us."Sssshhh..." The guy hushed. We couldn't get to discern his face because it's kinda dark in here, plus, he's wearing a hoodie, so the shadow hides his face. But we can see his creepy smile and glowing eyes.Suddenly, I felt Ella holding my left hand. She squeezed it and I know that she's nervous and doesn't know what to do. I gazed at my side to see the two kids and also ma'am Edeline. My eyes widened when I saw blood on their shirts and even their mouths. T-they were killed?"Now both of you—""You murderer!!!" Ella immediately kicked him hard so he was thrown back a little. I stood up first and helped Ella. She's

"Ella?" I called her while she's washing the dishes. She knows a lot about the household chores whereas I don't. I even asked her to teach me but she doesn't want to do it because a princess like me shouldn't do what maids do. I just rolled my eyes inside my thought. I wished I was a pauper with a loving family than being a princess with a family who didn't care about me."Yeah?""You were about to tell me something, right?" I just seated here, watching her."Am I? Uh, no. It's nothing."I never thought I'd talk to her like this. For the first time, I thought, that she's a friend, someone special to me. And I also think she treats me the same. Or maybe she just needed someone to talk to but when we go back to school, she will return to her old self. Bullying me, with the twins at her side.After washing the dishes, she decided to take a shower. I still feel cold and maybe I'll follow after she's done. I strolled around the mansion. I turned my gaze

I don't get what he meant. What is he saying? For an unknown reason, tears started to form in my eyes."There was this girl. She became a part of our lives. She was the same as you at first. An introvert, she doesn't communicate with anyone. She's also smart just like you. I never thought that she would become more than a friend in Neil's eyes," he started as he placed his hands inside the pocket of his pants. He stepped backwards and leaned on the wall. He lifted his head to the sky like he's imagining what he is saying. I just looked at him as I focused in listening to everything his mouth says."When we were in our senior high school years, the four of us were always close. Close like those four guys we see in the anime Boys Over Flowers.""Boys Over Flowers? You mean the F4?" My forehead knotted as I asked that. Is it just me or there are four guys in their circle of friends? But why did I only met three, Kenneth, Kit and Neil? Who's the fourth one?"

"Gold." He slowly lifted his right hand and placed it on my left cheek."I'm not a good comforter though, but I'll try my best to make you feel better." I smiled.He suddenly moved so I tried to move back but he immediately grabbed my arm and pulled me closer to him. My face is literally an inch far from his face. We both stared into each other's eyes. I can feel his breath. Seconds later, he moved his face closer and closer like he's about to kiss me. Is this it? Will he really kiss me?I cleared my throat and decided to avoid my gaze."Gold. Only you can make me feel better," he stated.I stood up and sighed before I looked down to him. My face showed no emotion. It's like I'm a titan looking down on the villagers."Neil, I am not an ordinary girl. You gotta work hard to get my kiss. This thing's very precious to me." I turned around and took a step away from him. Geez, what the heck am I saying? Hell, I'm a conservative type of girl so ev

"Hey! What made you think that?!" Neil yelled as he pointed the kid."Because big sis Janice is your girlfriend. If big sis Marie is not big bro Kit's girlfriend, then maybe big bro Kenneth's!" The kid pointed Kenneth so the guy lightly scratched the back of his neck in embarrassment."Listen, kid!" Neil walked towards the kid. I sensed something bad so I pulled Neil back. Don't tell me he's going to do something bad to just a kid?"Hey, Gold! Let go of me!" Neil yelled at me but I still won't let go of his arm."He's just a kid!" I yelled back at him."I know he's a kid! I'm not stupid!""Can't you calm down?!"The both of us are yelling at each other. Honestly, I never thought I'd be this noisy though. Why do annoying extroverts like Neil influenced me to become noisy just like him? Should I be happy that I slowly get to blend in with the real world?"You both look like a couple, really," someone commented."No way/ He

I thanked Kenneth for bringing me to the clinic. He smiled and said it's okay. Whenever Kit and Neil are fighting over me, he had no choice but to get in the way. We both headed towards the hut but no one is there. We noticed that something's going on at the back part of the hut so we went there.Everyone was busy decorating the yard. Ella was helping in the decorations, while Kit and Neil were lifting boxes. The two of them aren't talking to each other maybe because of what happened earlier."I'll leave you here, Marigold." Kenneth said as he tapped my shoulder. I smiled and nodded and just stared at his back as he run towards his friends."Hi, dear."I was almost scared to death when grandma suddenly spoke beside me. I never thought she'd suddenly appear right beside me like a ghost."Grandma.""You realized their feelings for you, haven't you?" She asked as she just looked at the people busy with their works.I looked down. Kenneth

"Good morning, sunshine!! Good morning everybody!! Good morning to myself!!" I heard Kenneth shouting so I immediately opened my eyes. Geez, that guy. I hate alarm clocks! I still wanna sleep—"Hey, Marigold!! Wake up, wake up!!" I immediately rose up from lying down when he opened the tent."What are you doing, jerk?!!" Ella yelled at him. She also woke up when she heard his loud voice."It's already 6 in the morning and there are still things to do here. Come on, lazy ladies! Wake up!"I glared at him but he just put on a teasing smile on his face.I tied my messy hair without combing it and went out the tent wearing a usual look of a newly woken up princess."Good morning, Marigold," Kit greeted me with a charming smile. I greeted him back with the same vibe. A normal lady would've fallen inlove with him already the moment he showed his smile so early in the morning. Imagine if a guy like Kit would be the first person you discern, i

I looked at myself infront of a mirror as I combed my long, straight and black hair. Now where should Ella and I go? We should have left this place already. We spent our day with those guys and it would be shameful if we stayed here longer. But where do we go? Should I go home already and accept my parents' punishment? There's no other choice. Sooner or later, my parents will find me.I came to the dining area and they are already there, breakfast was already served. Their eyes nailed on me as I walked downstairs. I can't help but feel uncomfortable. I'm not used to people giving their attention to me.I sat beside Ella and looked down on my lap. They're so quiet and I can still feel their stares on me."Marigold, mind to share us your plan?" Kit suddenly asked so I lifted my head to look at him."Plan?" I asked him. I don't get what he meant."Are you going to stay with us longer? I know that's not what you want," he said."She'll stay for

I was on my way to Neil's house. I was seated here at the back part of the car while my driver's the one driving. I can't help but feel nervous. Neil's parents are that desperate to make him marry Aurelia? But Neil's not in love with her! How can he marry someone he doesn't even love!Suddenly, the car stopped. I asked the driver what happened and he said that a kid was blocking the way. I frowned and went out of the car. I saw the kid kneeling and no one dared to help him. So I walked to him and helped him get up."Can you stand up?" I asked him. He looked like a ten year-old kid. Why is he alone here?"Rence!!" Someone from far away called."Aunt Shiela!!" The kid shouted at her. My eyes widened when the aunt that the kid was referring to is Shiela, one of grandma's daughter who was living at the province. And the girl whom I saw with Neil that night, kissing. Geez, I should have forgotten about it.

"L-let me apologize, Marigold. I know, Neil's in love with you. B-but I still have the guts to come back to him after leaving him—""You don't have to apologize, Janice. I understand the reason why you left him years ago." I cut her off."Gerard told you, huh?" She chuckled but I know, she's just forcing herself to do it because I can still see that she's in pain."You know what? I told Neil that I still love him." She said, smiling. She just focused her eyes on the ceiling.I suddenly felt something stabbed my chest so I held it with my hand."But too bad... he doesn't love me the way he did before. He feels only pity." I saw tears falling down from her eyes. There's something in me that feels happy because Neil no longer love her but I feel sad for her, though. She has a valid reason to dump him just like that! She isn't even betraying him!"I told him to lie so I could die happily. But he don't want to. He just wanted to tell me the
Miss Wallflower CHAPTER 33
I was listening to everything Gerard says. And I can't believe I am hearing all of it. Janice didn't intend to leave Neil years ago. She just thought that leaving him would be the best thing to do.I formed my hands into fists. Why do I suddenly feel like I'm losing? Like I am no longer a part of Neil's life? Why do I suddenly saw only him and Janice?"She was diagnosed with cancer 3 years ago. We thought she's gonna die. She wanted to stay away from Neil, she doesn't want to hurt him, and she doesn't want him to suffer just because of her. She decided not to tell him about her condition." Gerard explained as he was sitting beside me. We both sat here at the waiting area. No other people are here except us. He just kept his eyes on his fingers as they were being intertwined. I can feel that he is nervous as he explained all this."She planned that we should pretend like she was betraying him. She kissed me because she knew that Neil was around. That's when Neil

"M-marigold..." Ella uttered the moment she lifted her head and saw me. I can see bruises on her face. I can clearly tell that she's in pain."Oh, freak. Here's your fellow psycho, by the way." Aubrey smirked as she pointed the two kneeling. I looked at the brother of Ella. He was totally defeated. But why? Why isn't he fighting back? Why does he feel helpless? Why?"Aubrey, Audrey. Please, stop it." I said."No way. We have come this far, freak." Audrey smirked.Aubrey turned her gaze around the people surrounding us."Listen up, people! This girl is just like them! She's also a psycho! Earlier, she threatened us that she'll break up our bones! We don't tolerate that kind of behavior, right?!" She shouted as she pointed me."Yeah! Kill her too!" The people shouted so I closed my eyes, trying to ignore them. I must protect Ella, no matter what.I slowly walked towards the two kneeling. I stood beside Ella, the reason for her to look u

Tears started to form in my eyes as I just nailed my eyes on them. I held my chest when I felt it tightened. I can't believe I'm seeing this right now. It felt like my world just crashed."G-gold..." Neil looked at me when he noticed someone was watching them. And there, totally, my tears fell down. He is looking at me with sadness. He suddenly took steps towards me but I stepped back. Janice, who was standing beside him, looked at me like she's saying sorry inside her mind.I decided to ran away from them, still with my tears falling down on my cheeks. But I wiped them off like what a brave woman does. I shouldn't feel like this. If Neil is into Janice, then fine.I just focused my attention on my feet and I don't care if I bumped into a sturdy structure or even fall into a cliff. What I want is that I should get away from all of them. From both of them.And what I expected really happened. I bumped into someone. I stopped and I covered my face with my h
Miss Wallflower CHAPTER 30
I immediately pushed him away from me. I was totally shocked, I never thought he'd do that. I felt my cheeks burning hot. Even if I feel embarrassed, I still looked at him. He didn't expect he'd do it as well. I gulped when he bit and licked his own lips, like he's trying to taste the kiss."I have to go!" I stood up and ran away. As I was running, I touched my lips with my index finger. He kissed me. What is he thinking? What pushed him to do that?But I can't deny, I liked it. Because I'm in love with him.I went back to the bench where we left the others. I didn't see Janice and Gerard, just the other officers. I decided to sit with them. Their eyes were on me and I can't help but feel uncomfortable. I wanted to leave right away but, I just can't leave here."Hey, you knew officer Vernon and that Janice's past relationship, right?" One of them who's sitting beside me asked."Janice is his past lover. And Marigold knew tha

"Is there something wrong here?" We turned around to face the guy who spoke. I sensed something heavy and dark so I faced Neil beside me. He was clenching his fists. He was frowning, and it clearly tells me that he didn't like seeing the guy. I looked at the guy and he was wearing an ROTC officer's uniform. The difference is that he came from a different school. So he was that officer the others were talking about. He's a good-looking guy and just by his appearance, I know he's a kind person. He was smiling at Neil, didn't bother to look at him the same way how Neil looks at him right now."I'd expected that I'd be seeing you again. You haven't changed a bit." The guy told Neil."What the hell are you doing here?" Neil stated in a cold voice. He has calmed a little bit."Don't worry. I came here for the formation. Not for you.""Neil..." The girl who was sitting at the bench walked past us and stood beside the guy. "Can we talk?"
Miss Wallflower CHAPTER 28
I was sitting with Neil's fellow ROTC officers. They were his senior and all they do here is talk about him. They say he is a good officer. Everyone likes him.I was staring at him standing infront of his platoon on the field. Under the heat of the sun, he's commanding them to do some stuffs. I can't help but smile as I watch him. He looks so cool."By the way, we saw you with him. Are you his girlfriend?" One of them asked.I immediately looked at them beside me and gulped. Something within me is celebrating, or maybe it's just the butterflies in my stomach. They're making me insane!"N-no, I am just a friend," I answered them, feeling a little bit uncomfortable. Imagine talking to an ROTC officer. They look really intimidating with their uniforms on."Are you sure you are just a friend? I don't think so, though. He looks at you different from the way he looks at other girls.""H-he's a bully, and he thin

"So, where's Ella?" My brother asked me the moment I stepped inside the mansion. He was sitting at the couch as he was watching the television. He's also holding a bucket of popcorn. He was focused on it and I don't know how he knew that I went home alone."She... She stayed at one of my classmate's place. We have a by pair project so..." I just thought about that reason just now. I don't want them to get worried. I'll solve this problem myself. I'll surely bring Ella back so we could live together again.I just stared at the ceiling as I intertwined my hands and placed them on my chest. I looked like a dead person with opened eyes. I just can't remove the scene off my mind. Ella's brother was the creepy guy who killed her own family. But she told me before that she didn't know him. She told me he was the guy who kept on following them wherever they go. According to what she told me, she clearly doesn't know him. Was she lying to me?I heaved a
