Bella's POV

"Boo!" Francisco tapped my shoulder from behind. I turned to her; smiling wildly.

"How was the test?" I asked her.

"It was very awesome. Thanks to you" She said."What about you?"

"Not bad as well," I told her and she smiled then she said;

"What a relief"

"Uhn, why did you say that?"

"I didn't see you write anything, your head was on your desk. I thought something was wrong with you, I kicked your seat but I couldn't even get your attention " She said.

"Oh," Oh My God I was so engrossed with looking at Peter.

"I was already answering the test, so I..errm took a brief diverted reflection " I told her then I saw Peter walking towards me.

"Uhm... Francisca, let's go to the library" I stood up and told her..holding her hands already; to make her feel how urgent I wanted to leave the classroom at that moment.

"Uhm...are you hiding anything from me Bella?" She asked me. "Uhn, no. Why did you ask again?" "Hmmm, never mind. I mean I'm just concerned; about being your only friend." She said. "You and Francis, yesterday...or wait is it this morning, it started. Tell me already" I urged her. "I told you before Bella, I really don't know.

    Bella's POV "Do you live in Peter's house then?" Francisco asked me. I was dumbfounded for a while. "Bella" She called out my name. "Yes I am..." I stuttered.."I am living with Peter" I finally confessed. "What? you know, I sort of had that hunch but I never want to believe.." She said but I looked at my feet, kinda panicking. "Why are you living with him?" She questioned me... I began to bit my finger but before I could say a word, she blurted; "Wait! Couple's life?" "No Francisca" I muttered "Yes, you guys are of course; no couple. If you live with Peter, then why won't you..." "Francisca, keep it a secret please. Jeez! I don't have the nerves to tell everyone yet" "What secret? What don't you have the nerves to people? Is it that you and Peter are living a couple's life whenever his parents are absent?" She said again. "No, no.." I shook my head. "Then what..." "I.... I am Peter's housemaid" I finally confessed to her. "What?" She exclaim

Francisca spoke to me while moved to our usual table. "That's right. Arrrrgh!" I "That explains why Monica is clinging around him now" She said and I eye searched for both of them. Monica wrapped her hand around over his neck, he took them over but she did it over again.

    Bella's POV "Hi darling" Monica came over, sat in front of me and smiled at me wickedly. What does she want this time around? "Hi" I rolled my eyes and ate my snacks slowly; trying to avoid her and acting like I do not care about whatever she wanted to say to me. "Oh wow! You have the nerves now! Did you just roll your eyes at me?" I didn't say anything. "Okay, I can see you have been avoiding Peter; just like I have told you but uhm, it's not enough for me to decide whether to reveal your identity to everyone or not" She continued to smile wickedly. Who does she really thinks she is? Does she really think she can control me anyhow she wants? Geez, I needed to be like Francisca. "Are you trying to blackmail me or what Monica?" I voiced out. "You call that Blackmail?" "You are threatening me! Haven't you had enough already?" "Oh no, I haven't" She responded. "Well then, go ahead and tell everyone." I said.. I swear, I didn't know

    Peter's POV The serene became calm. I was a little bit shy, I was avoiding to look into her eyes because she was already staring back. I summoned up courage to face her. Her eyes caught mine and I mistakenly gulped down my saliva. This feeling.."I ..Uhm..." I broke the awkward silence. The door bell rang interrupting the sweet serene too. "Are you expecting anyone?" I asked her. "No" She shook her head. "Probably your usual unexpected visitor, Monica" Bella said. "No... I spoke with Monica earlier" "Sure you did" She nodded like she meant something.

My heart was still beating really fast, I touched my cheeks, I could feel it reddened and hot. I tossed on my bed as I began to recall the whole scenero, I didn't know that it'll make me so nervous. His simple touch, made it look like we were in a romance mood. I kinda love that feeling though. Somehow, I wish we completed what we've started even if it's just the french kiss and intimate cuddle and maybe the romance. I picked up my phone, hissing at it because it ruined that mood. I've forgotten that I was the one who set the alarm. I smirked and unlocked my phone. I noticed that I have a message. Haven opened it, I found out that it was from my mom. ~'Flora is here. Come say Hi to her tomorrow' It reads. Huh
