I woke up and immediately sat down. Talking to my boss and re-reading my diary was giving me different kind of emotions. Emotions that were too strong that I even dreamt of him for the second time. After all these years, I thought I was doing well. I thought I was slowly moving on but I end up being sucked into my bitter sweet past after seeing Ibarra.
Or was it also my fault for bringing him up during my interview?
I stood up and walked towards my full-length mirror. I slowly studied my physique and I could tell how much different I am now from when I was in high school. I am more confident and definitely more gorgeous than before.
“I wonder what he thinks of me now that I have changed a lot?” I asked in a whisper while looking straight into my eyes. Blooming into this

My High School Romance CH.26 - Bad Memory 1
REBECCA’S POV I never really realized that being at home alone was… lonely. Since I was busy writing stories, I never noticed anything in particular – not even the time, my hungry belly and my unwashed hair. It felt like time was ticking fast and smoothly, making me forget about reality. But now that I am free – well, temporarily, I get to notice every small detail that happens to me, even on my surroundings and I find it a bit… weird. Don’t get me wrong, I love the feeling of spending time with myself and getting more time to relax but I guess since I have been busy for the past few months, I surmise my body was adjusting again to my lazy ways. Anyway… I glanced at my old diary that was lying on my study table. I received an unending nagging from Mirajane before we parted. She kept on reminding me that Ibarra was crazy for letting me go and that I deserve better. I knew at the back of my mind that she was right. But my head was still clouded of Ibarra’s memories. I knew for a f

THE PAST (Different Memory) A loud slap echoed the place. Slowly the pain crawled and spread on my cheek and I tasted blood in my mouth. Mitchell’s slap hit me hard. I even thought that my head would roll off! No matter how much I want to escape this hell hole, I cannot do anything since there were two guys holding me on each side. Mitchell was furious when I reported her and her two friends for locking me in the Science Lab. They were suspended for a week and just when she got back, she immediately ordered these two ugly guys to take me and bring me in this dark and deserted alley. No one goes here much, since it was reported that a lot of bad men lurking around here. “You bitch! You think you can escape me huh?” She angrily snatched my hair and forced me to look at her. “You must have enjoyed your week since there was no one making it hard for you!” “You could have stayed silent.” Marian hissed and also pulled my hair that made me grunt. Marian was the one who was holding the ke

REBECCA’S POV "I told you not to let them bully you." My heart skipped a beat and it felt like the time slowed down. His voice was way different from what I expected. I thought he would sneer at me and laugh like the others but he… he sounded as if he was scolding me sweetly. It felt like I was a kid being reminded again. I knew my eyes were filled not just with tears but also with wonder. His presence was giving me a different feeling unlike the time when I was locked in. Emotions started to rush in and I felt weaker this time but strangely, I felt happy too that he was there with me. Ibarra removed the cloth in my mouth and all the frustration and fear that filled me came out like a querulous sob. He gave me a warm smile but it was also enveloped with a dangerous hint. It was surprising how that didn't threaten me. "Would you like your master to punish those who hurt you?" "Why are you touching that filthy human?" Mitchell asked and pulled Ibarra but he quickly removed her hand

“AHHHH FUDGE!” A short high-pitched squeal came out from my mount when I fell from my bed. It was an inevitable fall. I grunted as I slowly sat down – gently massaging my hurt elbow. I didn’t realize that I immediately went into a deep slumber last night. But it was a good thing… I finally woke up from that nightmare. Was it really just a nightmare? I wouldn't really call Ibarra's kiss a 'nightmare' but the whole experience was indeed petrifying to any teenage girl. I still couldn't believe that I've been through that. I’ve been hospitalized for days and traumatized by what happened. It was a good thing that my friends never left me. Everyone knows how much I wanted to escape being with Judiel but I truly appreciated him during that moment. I could say that that was the time when we were able to be more comfortable with each other… even him with Mirajane. I stood up and brushed the dust that probably stuck on my shorts. I went out of my room and prepared myself a coffee. It was a s

MY PARENTS WERE left with no choice but to leave me under Carlie’s care. She was firm about her decision to take care of me tonight. Carlie added that Ibarra would be highly disappointed if she won’t be able to complete her task. Well, this is awkward. My unannounced visitor was just standing beside my bed while I was eating. It felt as if I was a rich girl being taken care of my personal maid. As soon as I finished chewing the vegetable I ate, I looked at her and let out a sigh. “Are you really not hungry? Are you really not going to eat with me?” I asked. She just smiled and bowed her head a bit. “Thank you for thinking about me, but I am not allowed to eat with someone higher than me.” I was left in awe with what she said. For servants to act this way, it must mean that Ibarra’s family is really well-off and known in this country! Then why was he studying in a public school? “Can I ask you something?” “Yes, you may.” She smiled and nodded. “If Ibarra is rich, then why is he

Rebecca's POV I squealed when Ibarra suddenly lifted me up. It was unexpected so I found myself clutching on his shirt. When he laid me down, I was expecting him to finally give me some space but this man was not moving away! Instead, he stayed there – looking at me in the eyes with this lopsided smile of his. It was obvious that he was teasing me but this damned heart was not taking it well. I could feel my cheeks burning as he stared at me and our distance was not helping at all. My lips quivered when he held me tighter. It felt like I was going to lose air! Oh my God! Is this really happening?! “Are you uncomfortable?” He asked even though the answer was so obvious. I want to roll my eyes and utter how stupid he was for asking that question when he suddenly smiled at me! That stunt instantly pulled out my inner fangirl for him. It was a dream come true! It was one of my fantasies being this close to him while giving me this handsome kind of smile. I could die right now! But l

Present Time (Rebecca’s POV) I was intently staring at my laptop with my mind flying elsewhere. I checked the website for my book and there were a lot of comments expressing their curiosity about my high school life. Most of them already finished the book and they were exchanging insights about it. It was nice to see but they were flooding the page with requests for me to either write a book about my own high school experience or write a screenplay about it. If they only knew… I am still in between of accepting Ibarra’s offer but it’s on ‘Eighty over Twenty percentage’ already. Eighty for Yes and twenty for No. Obviously, once I face Nikki and Bianca tomorrow, that twenty percent will soon be reunited with the other. I was already preparing myself for it. Anyway, accepting this offer will help me a lot in terms of popularity and financial. It’s not so bad to be honest. And besides… An evil smile crossed my lips. The thought of finally commencing a ‘revenge’ act for Ibarra excites

REBECCA'S POV I COULD FEEL the stares that my boss and editor was giving me. I could literally see their heads moving from side to side while trying to weigh the possible thoughts that were going through my head as well as the man that was sitting across from me. Ibarra. Yep. The day has finally come when we have to discuss the project he proposed to me. No one dared to speak because the aura of the room was already tense. The way I and Ibarra exchanged glances definitely had an underlying meaning. Yes, of course. I figured out that he would be surprised to see me. Behind his smirk, I knew that he was astonished to find out that his once 'dog' was now ready to bite his hands off. Nikki tried to shake off the awkward silence by letting out a laugh, but it turned out into a nervous one. “Shall we start the meeting?” Nikki politely asked Ibarra who didn’t even bother to look at her, because this man was just bluntly staring at me with a mysterious look in his eyes. The nerve! Does

REBECCA’S POV (THE PRESENT TIMES)“I never knew your life was this complicated.” Nikki poured me another glass of wine.“And I never knew they could hide something like this from me.” I bitterly mumbled as I took a sip from my glass.It’s been three days since my confrontation with Ibarra, Mira and Judiel. I’m still baffled as to why they must keep secrets from me. I’ve been tumbling over it – trying to figure out the reason but I’ve been hitting the same damn end. Am I not reliable? Do they think I cannot really control my feelings?Was I that stupid?“Could be.”My eyes flew at Bianca who was staring at me. Did my thoughts just leak out from my mouth? I squinted my eyes at her.“I mean… Didn’t they say that even the brightest man becomes a fool in terms of love?”I simpered before taking another sip. “Mind to elaborate?”Mind to elaborate. Hah!Funny how a famous romance writer faces dilemma understanding the truth behind this loophole.“Hope you don’t take this negatively, Rebecca.”
My High School Romance CH.59 - Sick Ibarra
“CHU…” IBARRA REMOVED THE WOMAN’S grip from his uniform and pushed her lightly. He was giving me this ‘pleading’ look as if he was asking me not to think of something weird.I mean, should I?But they’re undeniably close! She even knows Carlie and if you didn’t arrive, maybe she successfully undressed Ibarra!I shook my head to clear these thoughts and worries that was starting to eat me.“Chu?” The woman crossed her arms on her chest and gave me a scrutinizing look. “Is she the one?”Wow.I never felt so belittled with just a mere look. Mitchell used to give me this kind of stare, but it wasn’t that powerful than this. Her cat shaped eyes made it more menacing. The way she also stood there gives this ‘I own this place’ vibe.“Instead of you being here, why don’t you head to the mansion and meet Dad? You are not even allowed here.”She chuckled dryly. “Evading my question, huh? Well, you no longer need to say anything cause I already know the answer. Anyway…” She patted his head and g
My High School Romance CH.58 - The Threat
THE PAST.Rebecca’s POV.“HAVE YOU HEARD?”I looked down as I slowly walk through the corridor. I already knew that they’ll be talking about me. The way that they threw glances at me, their pretend “whisper” that could be heard within a mile… it was obvious that I was – and again the center of the gossip world.Well, it’s been like this for a while now, ever since we’ve returned home from our Recollection.One of Mitchell’s old minions saw me and the girls coming out from the boys’ room the morning we accidentally slept there. And yes, she did saw the whole gang but never mentioned anyone other than me. That witch girl spurted out that I deliberately sneaked into the room and slept with Ibarra, and that news ran like a wildfire.This issue immediately caught the attention of the teachers and of course, we were called to the principal’s office to explain what happened.*** Flashback ***“Is this true? Rumors has been circling around the school that you…” Ms. Leni’s eyes fixated on me. “
My High School Romance CH.57 - Another Mishap
Rebecca’s POV “I WANT YOU…” Without any delay, he passionately kissed me again. Filled with longing, exhilaration, and warmth. I parted my legs and wrapped them around his waist that made him groan. My mind went blank when I felt something there. All my sanity just left my body, and I was ready to give everything to Ibarra at this point. But… “Oh my God!” A frustrated moan escaped my lips as we turned our heads where the squeal came from. Dammit! “Rebecca!” Oh, God! When will these people learn not to appear out of the blue?! “What is the meaning of this?!” Judiel bellowed which forced me to loosen my frivolous clutches on Ibarra. Ibarra covered me with the blanket and slowly stood up beside the bed. Seeing his almost naked body right now confirmed the way I imagined him to be as I traced his toned body earlier. And when my eyes flew down the bulge that has been calling my attention, I ended up swallowing the air blocking my throat and bit my lips upon remembering the feelin
My High School Romance CH.56 - The Pursuit
THE PRESENT (Rebecca’s POV)“REBECCA! HEY! WAKE up!” I felt someone shook my shoulder before hearing giggles. “It’s time to go home, stupid girl!”“Pfft! Let’s leave her here.” I heard Mirajane jokingly uttered that made me open my eyes. I had a glimpse of the girls and their men beside them.“Ughhh.” I grunted and shut my eyes again since my world went spinning. I muttered something that even I did not understand.I heard Hera cackled. “Oh god! It’s been a long time since I drank like this.”“And you shouldn’t do it in public. You do know that you are a well-known model, babe.”Jeremy…I tried to peek by squinting my left eye but instead of seeing Jeremy, Ibarra’s flushed, yet worried face greeted me.“Chu, wake up.” He softly whispered and caressed my back.His endearment to me sent tickles to my heart. I ended up giggling as I buried my face back on my arm that was lying on the top of the table.“That one’s also wasted. Take her home, Ibarra.” I heard Ginny said. “I’ll take care of
My High School Romance CH.55 - The Recollection Night
THE PAST (Ibarra’s POV) A SMILE FORMED on my lips when Rebecca nodded eagerly. Oh, you have no idea what I’m about to say, Chu. “Pfft! I bet this story will be boring. Just like you.” Judiel mocked and laid on his back. “Shut up, Judiel!” Rebecca hissed and even rolled her eyes. “Learning history is fun!” “So, are you going to tell us or what?” Ginny asked who also appeared to be interested about it. “I’d appreciate it if no one longer interrupts me.” I said and stared at Heiji. He narrowed his eyes. “Did I say anything?” I smirked and nodded. “Great! So…” A loud, exaggerated snore echoed the room. “Judiel!” Everyone clamored and Mira even hit him with a pillow. Judiel grunted before sitting upright. “Fine! I’ll listen!” I sighed and started again. “Before World War Two, this place was used as an orphanage. Parents who cannot take care of their child used to leave their newborn in front of the door and nuns would take them in. The institution was handled by a well-known pr
My High School Romance CH.54 - The First Night
THE RECOLLECTION NIGHT (Rebecca’s POV) “WHAT THE HELL?” Mirajane immediately covered Judiel’s mouth and motioned him to stop. “Shut it!” Hera pushed the door wider, and we giggled as we made our way inside the boys’ room. My eyes glistened as soon as I saw Ibarra looking at us bewildered. He was cooly sitting on his bed with a book on his hand. “Mind explaining what you girls are doing here?” Jeremy stood up and blocked us from walking further inside the room. My lips pouted in dismay as I glanced at our class president. Just a few steps past him and I would reach where Ibarra was. Almost! “Oh, come on, Remy! Just chill. We made sure that we were not followed by any student teacher on our way here.” Hera reasoned out that apparently displeased Jeremy. “First of all, don’t call me Remy. No one calls me that. Second, that wasn’t my point. You do understand that you just entered a lair filled with men… yes?” “Men?” Hera chortled. “Really? You’re just a bunch of boys. Men stays up
My High School Romance CH.53 - Hera and Ibarra
Ibarra’s POV MY FACE IMMEDIATELY turned red when I saw Rebecca’s face that peaked from the door. Her eyes flew at me and all I could do was to look away. My hand embarrassingly covered my face like a shy high school kid. Shit… It didn’t occur to me that I have this abashed personality. I’ve been into more embarrassing situation than what happen earlier but the effect of that was incomparable with any of it. “What are you two doing here?” I heard Judiel asked and I threw a glance at him. His brows were furrowed – indication that he’s displeased that they arrived. I was about to react when Hera extended her arm and playfully hit him. I was sitting in between them. “It wasn’t their fault. I called them but I was unaware that you guys are here. It was supposed to be a girls night out, you know.” She motioned them to sit. “What’s wrong with us all being together anyway?” I was anticipating Rebecca walking towards me, but that excitement was destroyed when Heiji held her hand to stop
My High School Romance CH.52 - Mira's Warning
REBECCA’S HOUSE (Rebecca’s POV) “I AM TELLING YOU! That wasn’t supposed to happen!” I was staring intently at Mirajane with wide eyes hoping she could see the truth in it. We just came home and that stupid Judiel asked his girl to guard me. Yeah, I’m a prisoner - AGAIN! Mirajane squinted her eyes at me. “I’m not really sure if you are just stupid or guilty.” I gave her a confused look. “Guilty? About what?’ “Idiot! I know you didn’t plan that to happen, but you seem to enjoy the feeling of Ibarra being obviously embarrassed about that.” “Ugh!” I rolled my eyes. Fine! I did enjoy it! Seeing that egoistic CEO bashful face gives me a weird satisfaction. “What? Did you honestly think I’ll miss that glimmer in your eyes you saw him turned into a tomato?” “Okay! Yes! You got me! But why did you let those thugs take him away?” She simpered. “Nice choice of word. They are indeed going to beat the crap out of him.” I looked at her perturbed. “You’re kidding… right?” “They are going
