"CHARAN!!!!!"
Abby said while doing this weird hand gesture as she present the newly cleaned fountain.
When Eugene looked at the direction where Abby was pointing at
"Err??? Can I ask for money instead? I mean, an advance salary or something like that? 'Coz I badly needed one to pay for my tuition fee. I wish to go to college this year. Don't worry though, I will work for it and I will definitely pay you back."Abby sounded more desperate this time to the point that it looked like she was asking for a favor instead of a wish"No need to pay me back. Just take the money."Eugene said simply but Abby declined and refuse to it that way.
"Thank you."Abby said politely after accepting her slip. Then she headed straight to the cashier to complete the necessary steps and finalized her enrollment.But then someone bumped into her and because of that, the handbag that she was carrying on top of her other personal documents fell from her hands and scattered on the floor."Oh, I am so sorry."As if on instinct, Abby apologized right aw
"Hi."Abby greeted the other party meekly just for the sake of being polite. Of course, she did not want to appear rude in front of her crush, of all the people.Candice and Bryan's presence alone was enough to attract so may attention from the people around them.As such, more and more students started to look at their direction.On the contrary, Abby felt like a potato being placed next to two glossy apples."Actually Candice, I think it is better if you would get along with her. She might probably be one of your classmates this term. She took the same course as yours.""Really???"There was a mocking smile on Candice's face when she asked that, then she turned at Abby to talk to her directly."I wonder though how you were able to afford it here???"She said with false concern."I already found a nice job. It is a good paying one so I no longer have to work on multiple part-time jobs."Abby on the other hand gave Candice and honest answer."Hmm... I see... A working student as usual.
"Hello, Eugene. My name is Candice. It is a pleasure meeting you."Candice said coquettishly as she batted her eyelashes like a butterfly. She even put an effort into making her voice sound sweeter than usual.Yet despite all her effort, Eugene just gave her a slight nod to acknowledge her presence. Then he no longer paid them attention and instead turn it back at Abby again."Are you done, Abby?"He inquired as he naturally to
"Woah! Dream on, Eugene!"Abby said indignantly as she pulled away from Eugene's grasp.They never ceased walking but they were no longer holding hands."If I knew, you had been stalking me and that was why you are here. You even followed me all the way here. Out of so many schools out there, you choose to enroll yourself here. Who knows? Maybe you choose to come here as well upon learning that I am planning to attend this school?"Abby teased back but Eugene only scoffed when he heard her assumption."You must be dreaming! Just so you know, I had already been enrolled to this school way before you do and I was just simply doing a follow up to make sure that everything was good on my end before the school year commenced; and since that was the case, was it not only normal for me to assume that it was you who was following me, and not th
"Hey! Come back here!"Abby called out when she saw that the distance between her and Eugene was swiftly increasing.'Why do boys always walked fast???? TSK!'Tsking inside her head, Abby picked up her pace so she could catch up with Eugene.The two walked down the familiar street. There was no longer a need for them to ride public transport going home since their school was just a few blocks away.It was precisely for that same reason, why Abby chose the Euston Academy in the first place.Abby followed silently behind Eugene since the other party was no longer talking to her. She was making face behind him to relieve her frustration."Wait! I know this place..."She said as she tugged at Eugene's shirt."Of course you should. We've been here before, remember?"Eugene halted his steps and replied at Abby with an upturned eyebrow as he could not understand why Abby was making it a big deal."But this is not the way home.""I know that, Abby..."He said flatly then continued walking agai
"Boshaft... Where did they get its name anyway? It sounded foreign.""Malevolent, that is what the name means."Eugene said just right on time as they stopped before a dark and creepy woodland.That was when Abby realized that the forest no longer needed further explanation regarding its name. Just the energy that forest gave off itself was enough to give justice to its name.The forest was definitely living up to its English name, malevolent.Huge trees, contorting into weird angles were just one among the other creepy things that could be seen in the Boshaft forest.Their branches were intercepting one another, forming a canopy at the entrance. Thus far, creating a tree tunnel where one would have to walk through if they wish to enter the place.Due to the crowning and overshadowing of the t
"Can't you loosen up a little bit? Are you trying to rip me off my clothes???"Eugene complained after a while as Abby had been tugging on his clothes for quite some time now and it was getting tighter and tighter as they went deeper into the forest."Don't blame me! It is all your fault for bringing me all the way here without prior notice. I should have at least braced myself first. But you did not give me a proper head's up and just simply dragged me to this creepy place."Abby argued back, but despite how frustrated she was on Eugene, she still did not dare let go of him.So far, they have not encountered anything peculiar yet. In fact, it seemed that they were the only living creatures inside the forest at that time.But then again, Abby did not allow that peace to fool her. She decided not to put her guard down as she reckoned that they were in the Otherworld and anything could just happen in the blink of an eye."Instead of using your mouth to complain, make good use of your eye
"How I wish I could personally wipe that smile on your face. It was so irritating."She thought to herself."Ehem...ahem..."The old man in the middle of the elevated platform cleared his throat and everyone fell silent. He carefully scans all faces present in the hall until it landed on Mu Lingxi and he smiles slightly.When the old man was sure that everyone is already present, he stands up and started the meeting. This old man was no other than the clan head, Mu Ruochen. Mu Lingxi's grandfather.
The morning sunray that went through the blinds of her window, forced Ai Hee out from her dreamland.It was so bright that when she opened her eyes, it almost blinded her."Hey! Close the window, what do you want?!"With a groggy head, she inquired at her cat; because when she tried to peaked through her half closed eyes, she saw her cat seating next to their window.Most likely than not, it was the other party who opened the window, with an intention to wake her."MEOW"[ It's time to wake up little lass. Your grandfather has been waiting for you since the break of dawn he and had been sending Yanyan to fetch you. But you simply would not bulge from that bed of yours. ]Nero replied while lazily stretching his back."AHRGG! give five more minutes!"Ai Hee mumbled as she slumped back to her bed and covered her head using one of her pillows. She intended to come back to her sleep, but Nero would not allow her to have it h
"MEOW"[ Let us just forget what we heard. We can just pretend that we don't know where it came from right?]her cat tried to console her but they both feel like they were coyed.Mu Lingxi ignored his cat and instead look at Yanyan who was eating something that resembles Pringles."And what was that made from?" Mu Lingxi became more cautious and ask Yanyan first before tasting one."Well, this one is some kind of tree bark. It was leisurely chipped away from a CINCHONA TREE" Yanyan unhurriedly answered as she takes a bite from the chip.Mu Lingxi finds it more acceptable to eat so she decided to give it a try. It tasted like Piattos' roadhouse barbeque." I never thought that a simple bark of a tree-like this can turn to be a delectable food in this place." Mu Lingxi exclaimed.Yanyan wonders why her young miss acts so strange. It was as if it was her first time knowing this kind of food.Nevertheless, she never doubted
Abby had thought about going back to her bed and resumed her sleep but then she remembered that today was her special day!"I am 18 now!!!! This is the day that I have been waiting for."She said as she bolted up straight from her bed.Without even bothering to wash her face or at least combed her hair and fix its hot mess, Abby immediately ran towards her door.But to her surprise, the door seemed lock from the outside! And no matter how hard she tried to push nor heave the door, it just simply would not budge.That was when Abby started to had a bad feeling."What was wrong with this door?!! Hey! Let me out of here!!!"She shouted at the top of her lungs, hoping that it would catch the attention of anyone from the other side of the door, but her efforts had only gone to naught.... SI
"For your 25, 000-dollar question, what is the name of the plant that could turn the one who devoured them into some sort of zombie and control its minds???"A. OphiocordycepsB. Wolf's BaneC. PigweedorD. Resurrecting PlantThe bald game show master asked Abby. His extremely white teeth made a great contrast with his dark skin as he smiled at her.Abby at the moment was playing as a contestant at what seemed to be a game show where one would have to answer some questions that were prepared beforehand.Rewards were also decided prior to the start of the game and every correct answer would allow the player to get a specific amount of money."Was there really a plant capable of doing that? FOR REAL?!!!"Abby asked the game master in return."Yes, dear. And you have to get the right answer for you
Meanwhile, when Abby heard the other party's abrupt accusation towards her, she was flabbergasted."Mine?! How come it became my fault?! I don't even have an idea that you are cooking here until we heard the explosion."Abby rebutted but Eugene only used her same words against her."Precisely! And that is your biggest mistake. You are supposed to be a servant in this house. It is your task to serve me. You are the one who should take care of all of this. Yet I was forced to cook my own meal!""But I was cleaning back then????"Abby argued back."So??? Is it my fault then?? Is it my fault that you wake up late? I am the master here and you are the servant. Do you suggest that I should be the one to adjust??? Should I just wait for you to finish your tasks and starve myself to death?"Eugene sai
I was suddenly taken aback by what he said. What does that mean? “Do you think I really belong to the Rohan family? I just adopted Alyanna !!! Because at first, my adoptive parents thought they would never have children. Case they made a mistake, they had a son! Your dad. ”“And what happened when he entered my life? He stole all the attention of my parents! He is the good one, he is the kind one, he has all the inheritance and nothing is left to me! ” No one told me about that.“But I accepted that Alyanna because your dad was kind to me. He even promised to share the family property with me… but it disappeared! It disappeared like a bubble because your good mother Allina came !!! ”
"Oh… I'll leave you first… I'm going to cry too!" Then Vander left immediately."And if you need anything, just call me.""I already have what I need Brylle." I held on tightly to the necklace I was wearing. The necklace that my mom and dad left for me. "Thank you."Brylle and I stared at each other for a long time. He turned around so I thought he was leaving. But he suddenly came back to face me again.Then he slowly bowed… and gave me another kiss on the cheek. "I'm
“Do you know, ladies, that we have been looking for the lost treasure of the White Light Clan for a long time? Eighteen years! We have been looking for it for so long! ”“So don't hurt us !!! We will tell you where that woman is so that you can get the sacred treasure you are looking for! ”"But we alam we do not know where he…""Shut up, Cerina !!!" The young man looked at Cerina and then at Seline."And you still plan to fool me?"&n
