ログインREBECCA’s POV(CONTINUATION OF THE FLASHBACK)“Why is it that you look so pissed, Rebecca?” Hera sat on my armchair and casually placed her arm around my shoulder. “Your neck’s going to break watching them outside.”Them.Yes, them, as in Ibarra and the girls who have been asking him to be their partner on the prom day. It was our free time when suddenly number of girls walked inside our classroom and asked for Ibarra’s hand. Jeremy was annoyed so he asked them to do it outside. I thought Ibarra would stay behind but to my surprise, he went outside with them.That irritated me even more. Here I thought he was serious about asking me out to prom and yet, he’s surrounded by girls right now.“Didn’t you mention he asked you to prom?” Ginny, who was busy reading her book, suddenly asked.“Which she declined just to remind you.” It was Mira. It was also their class’s free time, so she went to our room to chat.“Why did you say no then?” Hera asked, teasing. She even poked my side and gave
REBECCA’s POV(PRESENT TIMES)THIS IS IT REBECCA…This is it indeed. I took another breath as I tried to calm myself. I couldn’t help but walk back and forth as I anxiously waited for him inside the vacant Science laboratory. I asked the staff to tell Ibarra to meet me here – with no clue if he would even be present to observe the taping today. But I had faith… and well yeah, I was too embarrassed and nervous to ask him myself.Talking to Heiji cleared my mind. Not just it but also my heart. I’ve always known what I wanted but I was too afraid to take action. There was too much to think about, a lot to consider. But I’m done sorting things out. I’m done letting my fear conquer me as well as considering the feelings of others before mine.So now, I will once again be brave and tell Ibarra that I—“Rebecca, you called for me?”My feet automatically shifted to face the door as I took one last breath before nodding. “Y-Yes. I did.”My eyes laid on him. He looked hesitant, more like… carefu
REBECCA’s POV(PRESENT TIME)“YOU KNOW WHAT…”My body jolted in surprise – eyes wide when I gazed at Heiji who just sat beside me. We were sitting on the edge of the stage. He was looking far ahead of us, voice calm but mixed with slight pain. I swallowed to remove the air blocking my throat. I thought everyone left already so I went there to think.“You’re a great hide and seek player. I couldn’t catch you for days, and finally today…” He finally looked at me, and I was immediately rained with his emotions.Pain, love, but it was also coated with understanding.“Today I finally found you…” He added with a soft voice. “Don’t worry, I’m just here to talk.”I felt guilty.I’ve been avoiding him and Ibarra for the past few days because I don’t really know what to tell them. Whenever I was alone, especially at home, my mind would replay scenes from the past and little by little I would get the meaning of their silent stares, that double meaning battle between him and Ibarra and I would oft
IBBARA’s POV“AND NOW! FOR THE last pair… I know all of us are waiting for them! The powerful duo—" The emcee joyfully announced and continued to blabber about us.In a bit, I knew he’d finally call out our section, and yet Marciella – who was obviously not from our section was standing smugly on the other side of the stage. She was wearing a lavish gown that was meticulously sewn by a well-known tailor paired with the shiniest diamonds any high school student could ever laid their eyes on. She looked extravagantly elegant as always, but her recent actions were as rusty as a forgotten ship in the sea.I stared at her and she smirked – completely decided about what she’s about to do right now. I couldn’t help but shake my head in disbelief.We’re really doing this, huh?As if our minds were connected, I got her message – challenging me with her eyes saying: Watch me.I responded with my own signature smirk combined with a: Don’t say I didn’t warn you look.“SECTION 4-16!!!” The emcee f
REBECCA’s POV(FEW HOURS BEFORE)I don’t know why but the moment I stepped inside the school, I got this ominous feeling. Like someone was eyeing me – secretly following my every step as I went up to our classroom. It was still a bit dark, so the room was also in the same state. I pushed the door open, but it didn’t go as wide as it used to be.My brows furrowed and I tried to push it again till I heard someone grunt. That – sent shiver all over my body. It felt like everything went in slow motion. I immediately let go of the heavy eco bag I was carrying before turning my back from the room. I was able to take three big steps until someone pulled me by my backpack and—!BOOM!I found myself lying on the floor – body slammed, and mind completely rattled. Good thing my backpack has costumes inside it, so I didn’t really feel the hard floor. A man was staring down at me. He wasn’t a student. He was not wearing our uniform. Fear crept inside me. There have been several reports where stude
IBBARA’s POV(BACKSTAGE)“Any updates?” I asked Hera as she walked closer to me. I let out another deep breath. I could no longer count how many times I did that. I was trying to calm myself, but instead, it was making me more anxious.She shook her head. “We still haven’t found her.”Out of all the days that Rebeca could go missing, it happened on the most important day of our high school life. The pageant day. I have no idea what happened. We did well during our last practice and I am certain that she wouldn’t go in hiding just because she chickened out.No. No. Definitely not her.I shook my head and once again let out a deep sigh.“I know this is not the time to say this… but you look cute when you’re getting anxious, Ibarra.” Hera teased that made me squint my eyes. She’s the only person who could make fun of me without hesitation.“Your friend is missing; may I remind you.”“I am completely aware. Heiji and the others are already checking everywhere.” Her expression became serio
