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.”

    THE PRESENT TIME REBECCA’S POV “Welcome to the Writer’s Secrets, Ms. Javier! We are so elated that you have finally accepted our request to be a part of the show.” I shyly smiled at Maribella. “My apologies that it took so long. The last time you invited me, I was busy writing the High School Love Affair. No matter how much I wanted to accept your invitation, the deadline was chasing after me.” She laughed and patted her arm. “No worries, we all understand that. That is the most and greatest concern of all writers. But what can we do about it? A deadline is a deadline.” I nodded and softly chuckled. “That is true.” “That is why we are so glad that you are here since a lot of our viewers are actually curious about you. Can you tell us more about yourself?” “I just started writing novels recently and I posted my first story online in a well-known reading app. Never did it occur to me that it will attract so much readers and attention that different companies started to contact me

  • My High School Romance   CH. 2 - The Memory Lane

    A FEW YEARS AGO… My heart was pounding loud while standing near the school entrance of Manggahan High School – a public school that I was attending that has around four thousand students. My school wasn’t that big so it only has one entrance gate which made it easier for me to look for my target. I was checking every boy entering the gate while holding the letter in my hand tightly. It was the first day of my senior year and I have gathered my courage to confess my feelings to the person who snatched my heart the first time I ever set my foot in this school. After hiding this admiration for him for three years, I finally convinced myself to tell him how much I like him. But having a crush with the most handsome guy at school was challenging for me. When we were still freshmen, the seniors would visit his classroom which irritated the teachers and other students. Well, it was understandable. Once you laid your eyes on his alluring brown chocolate eyes, you will be mesmerized by it.

    Rebecca’s POV MY WORLD SUDDENLY TURNED slow as he entered the school grounds. His neat brown hair was gently bouncing because of the air hitting his face while walking graciously. His presence immediately called the attention of the girls near the entrance gate and even the guys gazed at him. I unconsciously tilted my head to the side as I indulge myself to stare at his captivating features. Staring at him was my hobby. It enables me to pinpoint any changes that happened to him during summer. Catching his gaze was my goal, but it never happened to me – not even in the past three years that I’ve been stalki--- err… I mean admiring him. Sadly, he never really gave me attention even if we were in the same club. Honestly, it’s not just towards me but to other girls as well. I guess that was really his nature. He was obviously an introvert. Ugh! But I guess that’s what even makes him so attractive! Ibarra was just a few steps away from me when my knees and hands started trembling from

    Rebecca’s POV (GUIDANCE OFFICE) LENI WAS SITTING BEHIND her desk while looking at me with astonishment. She clasped her hands and leaned backwards on her swivel chair. The silence was deafening and I was praying that she wouldn’t suspend me for what I did. Mirajane was already sent back to our classroom and being with our Guidance counselor, one on one, was making me nervous. "For the past few years that you've been studying here, this is the first time you caught my attention for unsightly action, Rebecca. No. Scratch that… you caught everyone's attention by declaring such a vulgar statement." I looked away as anxiety started crawling back into my senses again. The scene where I shouted his name and left a strong note kept playing in my head. "I never imagined that you would do something reckless like that. You're a genius. Star of the class but hid behind the shadows so I didn't know you were capable of shouting your heart out for the boy who doesn't seem to care about the world

    CLASS 4-16 (Rebecca’s POV) “OH, GOOD LORD.” I mumbled as I entered the classroom. All their eyes were fixed at me and the girls were showing how much they dislike the fact that I was there. Ms. Leni pulled me in front and spoke. “Good morning class. There was a last-minute change regarding your advisor and your classmates. Instead of Mrs. Rose, I will be your permanent advisor and we have added two more students in this class.” “If it’s been decided then we cannot do anything but accept that girl.” A lady with a long hair stated nonchalantly. I wanted to run out of the room but doing that will prove that I am just a dumb, wimp, weak-hearted student who talked nonsense earlier. “Please find an available seat, Rebecca.” Ms. Leni said, and I was left with no other choice but to do what she asked. I walked towards the free seat at the back next to a man who was sleeping. I immediately sat down and looked at my desk to avoid their judging stares. I guess it’s better to sit beside a g

    THE GIRL SITTING BESIDE me who was also wearing eyeglasses stood up. "My name is Ginny and I, for one, hate bullies." She glanced at me that made me clutched on my skirt tighter. "Sorry if we made fun of you. It was just mind blowing how you confessed to him earlier. Not everyone has that kind of courage so to be honest, I admire what you did." My lips parted in awe. Maybe… they're not that bad after all. "I like studying, but last year my grades fluctuated because…" She took a deep breath. "... Because I was bullied by my classmates. Ms. Leni is already aware of that so I wouldn't talk much about it. So please, I highly suggest everyone to refrain from bullying other students. You have no idea what it can do to someone." I saw other students nodding, especially girls. "And to answer the last question, I would like to take BS in Biochemistry when I reach college. That's why I plan to do my best and ace high school." She smiled and slightly bowed as curtsy. "I hope we all can get

    THE PRESENT TIME REBECCA’S POV I finally snapped out of thoughts when I heard Maribella laughed. The audience seems to be enjoying my story too but being sucked back to my memory lane was a bit embarrassing for me. It reminded me of how stupid I was when I was young. I think I said too much. “You are quite adorable in your younger days, Ms. Javier. Not everyone can do that. Honestly, while you are telling us what happened, I pictured myself confessing my feelings to the man I’m in love with and it was quite… unimaginable.” She chuckled and slowly shook her head. “I… I cannot do it.” I smiled. “That’s exactly what they said. But I don’t know. Sometimes, when you feel too much love and you started to feel suffocated for adoring someone, you just find yourself blurting out unnecessary things and feel better after… although, it comes with a price.” “Obviously. If you don’t mind me asking, what happened to you after that incident?” I sighed. “Well…” GOING BACK TO THE PAST THE NEXT

    "LOVE? HE'S YOUR BOYFRIEND?" Ginny asked in a whisper. She was also looking at me baffled. "N-No!" I strongly denied but in a feeble voice. "It's been a long time since the last time I saw you. You've become even prettier than before, Love." He sincerely said and gave me a sweet smile. "I missed you." My classmates who were trying to control themselves let out a teasing rumpus. I turned my head and they were all looking at me with a silly smile on their faces. Oh damn! My eyes glimpsed at Ibarra who was just minding his own business. He doesn't seem to care but the people around us will definitely judge me because of what's happening. I felt my cheeks flushed. "Enough with this sweet talk. Introduce yourself." Ms. Leni interrupted and I took the chance to silently sit down on my chair. He beamed as he studied the faces of the people inside the classroom. "Hi! My name is Judiel. I'm the son of Mayor Fernandez reigning in the municipality of Cainta. I ended up here since I final

    “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

    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. “

    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

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

    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

    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

    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

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
