2024-10-29 19:42:56"TSK, that nerd is really weak."
I heard Caren comment as we walked down the hallway. My gaze automatically went to her classmate Marcus who fell on his knees after another student bumped into him. The eyeglasses he was wearing fell on the floor.
I looked at Caren. “I thought you'll try to be kinder now?" I asked, reminding Caren of what she told me yesterday.
“I just can’t help but hate him. He's so weak. That's why he always gets bullied."
She rolled her eyes and went to him. Caren picked up Marcus' eyeglasses on the floor, then handed them to him.
I even saw her offer her hand to the poor boy. “Get up," Caren said. "What? Are you just going to stare at my hand?" Caren asked him, her eyeb

"COME on, I'll double my payment. Just let me out."I witnessed how Caren was bargaining with the student guards when I finally caught up with her. She was locked inside the jail booth. "I seriously need to get out." She glanced at her watch. "I have a project I need to pass at three pm.""Just try to call one of your friends or classmates," I suggested to her. I looked around to search for a familiar face of her classmates. "Maybe you know someone from there." I pointed at the group of students hanging around a food kiosk near us.She frowned. "I don't know them.""Call one of your classmates or someone.""I left my phone at home.""Wow. That's new." I replied in disbelief.

“WHY would I even think of pushing the doorbell when I can easily go inside. I’ll just waste my energy,” I said to myself while staring at the door of Lenos' house.I was here in front of his house to ask for help. I just learned that tomorrow is Caren’s eighteenth birthday and I wanted to surprise her.I said I’ll help her move on from that jerk of her ex-boyfriend.

"Do you want us to throw a simple party? You can invite your classmates here," the old lady suggested."Don't bother, Auntie. I have a class tomorrow," Caren replied. "Bes

"CAREN'S ex-boyfriend is your neighbor?"Lenos said incredulously as we got out of the elevator."Yeah. I didn't know that asshole was the owner of the unit next to me."I walked ahead of Lenos and stopped in front of my unit. I turned to Lenos to ask him to open my unit for me. But even before I could tell Lenos what my passcode is, he already touched the security pad."Why did you know my pass code?" I asked him in disbelief when he successfully opened my unit.“You always use your birthday as your password,” he replied.I stilled. He's right. I couldn't believe he still remembered that little detail about me.

The day we last talked before you left me…”“Cresia..."I sighed. “I never got the chance to explain everything to you.""I'm sorry…""It's okay," I said to him in a small voice.

After what happened yesterday, I just couldn't see him."How are you?" I asked Caren. She went straight to the bed where I was sitting. She sat beside me.She shrugged her shoulders. "Our physics teacher gave us tons of seat work." She grunted. "But you know what?" Her mood suddenly changed. "I got a perfect score on a quiz earlier." She grinned at me."That's good."

I asked him. "You can just buy one, Lenos."“But we are two,” he whispered, glancing at me.I pouted. “But you know, you're the only one who can see me.”He chuckled which made the teller look at him.Thank heavens he was wearing an earplug on his ear, so everyone who could hear him would think he was just talking to someone on the phone."We're two so I'm buying two."

"CRESIA." It was Lenos who welcomed me the moment I opened my eyes. He was sitting beside me while holding my hand."Lenos…" I felt hot tears streamed down my face. "I'm alive, right?" I look at his face. "You remembered me, right?"He nodded. "Of course," he said. I felt his hand on mine. "You just made me worried.""What happened?" I asked him, confused. I looked at his face. His eyes were red from crying. Why did he cry?"You passed out in the middle of the street," he answered. He brought my hand to his lips and kissed it while looking at me."Thank God nothing happened because I won't forgive myself…""I saw you with Kyla…" I said in a s

"CRESIA?"I was walking on the school grounds of St. Claire when I heard someone call my name. I looked around and then I saw Caren. She was standing a few meters away from me. I smiled at her and her eyes widened as she walked to me."Hi, Caren," I greeted her."It's really you," she said, her face still amazed. "What are you doing here?""I'm bringing lunch to my boyfriend." I replied with a smile. "He works here."I wondered if she'd be shocked if he learned that Lenos was the boyfriend I was talking about."How about you?" I asked her."This is where I study," she answered.

"GOOD morning, Dad." I greeted my Dad when I saw him on the breakfast table. He was already having breakfast."Good morning, hija," my father looked at me. "What time did you go home last night?"I pulled up a chair, sat on it and poured orange juice on my glass. "Almost two, I think." I glanced at the breakfast in front of me. I put some pancakes on my plate."I noticed your car isn't in the garage."I pursed my lips. "Lenos took me home last night."His eyebrows rose. "Are you two together already?"I casually nodded while sipping on my orange juice. "Uhuh…""Ma'am Cresia."One of our helpers entered the kitchen with a bouquet of flowers in her hand. She handed it to me. "There's delivery for you."I immediately smiled when I saw it was black roses. I opened the card and saw Lenos' handwritten note for me.Good morning. I'll pick you up before dinner tonight.

"WHAT are you doing here, sis?" Alfred asked me when he saw me standing outside of my door. I smiled. "I'm just trying to sink into myself that one of my dreams finally came true." Alfred smiled at me. "You did it, Cresia." He said, then gently tapped my head. "Thank you," I sincerely said, tearing up. "This wouldn't be possible without you and Dad's help." I told him. Today was the opening night of Polaris. Alfred and my father came with me earlier this morning at the ribbon cutting. They even surprised me with a cake. And now, Alfred was here with some of his friends. Dad just went home earlier because he needed to rest early. "Nah. It was your idea and effort and money. We just supported you on the sideline," Alfred said. "We're proud of you." I chuckled to blink away my tears. "Don't make me cry. Just go back inside with your friends." I jokingly pushed him away.

"WELCOME to my room, Aunt Cresia," Leah said as we entered her room. My eyes roamed around the room. She had a very princessy room. It suited her. I smiled when I noticed a portrait painting of her displayed on the wall. "How old are you in this portrait?" I looked at her. She smiled at me. "Oh, I was five there." Leah said as she sat on the edge of her bed. She hugged a unicorn stuffed toy we got on when we went to the theme park. "Thank you for the dinner, Aunt Cresia," she said, yawning. "I feel so sleepy already." She said in a small voice while scrunching her eyes. It was already eight in the evening. After pushing Lenos back to his room earlier this afternoon, Leah and I played board games in the garden. Then I cooked fried chicken for dinner. When I checked Lenos in his room, I still found him sleeping. It was a good thing he was having a long rest. I sat beside Leah. "You should sleep now." I gentl

"THERE'S still a space up here for another couch," Melissa told me while she was showing me around the second floor of the bar. "No," I said as I shook my head. "It's already perfect. I don't want it to be crowded." I wanted the interior of my bar to be chic and yet laid back. I looked around the area. We're almost ninety percent done with the interior of the place. Last week, I already made a deal with all the suppliers. I was also done with hiring people that's going to be my employees. I planned to start their training right after we finished with the interior. I smiled at Melissa. She's done a wonderful job in transforming this old place in just two weeks. My brother Alfred didn't lie when he said she was one heck of an interior designer.

It was almost six when we left the theme park."Yeah. You're full of energy earlier, Leah." I chuckled as I looked at her from the rear view mirror. Leah was a ball of sunshine."And you got so hungry you finished two orders of fried chicken," Lenos said, he also looked at Leah from the mirror."Dad, I just missed eating at Jollibee," Leah answered, her lips in purse. "But now, I feel so full and sleepy." Leah yawned and leaned on the headrest.I looked outside. "Don't worry, my home's only five minutes away." We were already inside
