It was already seven in the morning and she still hasn't got up from the bed. "You're gonna be late for school. It's already seven—"
“What the fuck!?”
I was stunned when I saw her. She looked sick. Her face was pale, but her eyes were fluffy and red. I thought she's just lying when she said that she doesn't feel good. It looked like she was really sick.
The door of her room opened. Aunt Feling entered the room. The old lady went home before midnight last night. Her face suddenly filled with concern when she saw Caren.
"You have a fever," the old lady said after touching Caren. She sighed. "You can

“FUCK!” I whispered to myself while staring at the ceiling. I'm still lying on Caren's bed. I don’t know why I suddenly felt weak. I turned my gaze to the walk-in closet where Caren was at the moment.Is it possible that I also got sick from lying beside her last night?I almost laughed at myself. Of course, that's fucking far from possible. Did I forget that I’m in my spiritual form?“That’s what happens when you use too much of your energy.”“Fuck!” I muttered when Kairos' voice filled the room. I got up from the bed and found him beside me.“Language, Lucresia.”“You scared the shit

I SNATCHED the bouquet of flowers from Caren. I tossed it in the trash can.Caren strangely looked at me. Her mouth was wide open. "Why did you do that?""I don't need them. Besides, they look disgusting."I glanced at the flowers on the bin. Fuck! I just remembered what Kairos told me. I shouldn't have wasted my energy on these stupid things. Fuck, Lenos! What did he want to tell me by sending those flowers?“Tsk…tsk…" Caren glanced at the trash bin before turning to me. "I can't believe Sir Lenos couldn't move on from you. After all those years…" Caren was smirking at me. "I'm still wondering what he saw in you?"I gave her a glare.

“WHY are you looking at me like that?" Lenos asked me with his eyebrows furrowed.We were studying in the library together. Lenos volunteered to tutor me in Physics when I failed my midterm exam in that fucking subject. It was all my professor's fault. That woman was just good at shaming her students and never in teaching. From the start of semester, I wasn't able to learn a thing from that old hag.Lenos and I were here in the library for almost an hour but I kept on getting distracted. Instead of focusing on the formula Lenos was teaching me, I just can't help but stare at his face.I rested my palm on my chin. Then I smiled at him. “I just want to...”He was wearing his glasses right now. And I coul

"THE important thing right now is that you are here in front of me… that I can see you everyday… that I can talk to you."Lenos' words continued to echo in me. I could still hear everything he said earlier."Huh? He would make it up with me? After what, ten years? Ha! The nerve of that guy." I kept on ranting as I kept on walking ahead.After Lenos' speech, I left him and walked out of the campus. I don't want to see him. I couldn't bear to see him right now.Because of everything he said earlier, all those feelings and memories that I buried deep down in me suddenly came back and crashed me like a tidal wave.I didn't know how long I was wa

“I ALSO paid for this seat. You can't sit here.” Caren stopped one of her classmates who was about to sit beside her.Today was the day of Caren's camping. We were already seated on the bus assigned to her class. I had no choice but to tag along with her.“So, this seat is reserved for me?” I asked Caren, a satisfied smirk on my face. "I'm touched."“Shut up. I just don't want someone to hear me while I'm talking to you," she answered defensively. “I didn’t do it for you." She rolled her eyes and looked at the window. “This whole camping idea is so boring.”“Good morning, class.”What the fuck

"I HATE it here! Why did they have to confiscate our phones?!"Caren irritatingly kicked the dry leaves in front of her. She was in a bad mood after Lenos confiscated her phone before we got off the bus.It took us two hours before we arrived at our drop off point. From there, we hiked for almost an hour until we reached the camping site."Everyone, gather around here."Caren and I both looked at the student speaking in front. He was holding a mini-megaphone. Caren told me that guy is their student leader."We are not just gathered here to contribute to saving the environment, we are also here to enjoy the beauty of our mother nature while bonding with our co-students…"

"CAREN, what are you doing?" Caren stopped from kicking the leaves on the ground when she heard her name being called. We both turned to where the voice came from. A woman a few meters away from us was looking at Caren with a frown on her face. If I remember correctly, that woman is her class adviser. "Go with your classmates, Caren," the teacher said to her. "Help them." I looked at where Caren's classmates were. Everyone was busy building tents. Even the nerd—Marcus, was helping his classmates. Caren was the only one who wasn't doing anything. Caren rolled her eyes and was forced to join her classmates. "Fuck this stupid camp." Ever since her phone was taken away from her, Caren's mood got

“FUCK this signal! What kind of place is this?"I heard Caren say as she kept on swaying her phone to the air. I don’t even know how she got her phone back."We're in the middle of the mountain. Of course, you won't find any network connection here."It was already past dinner time. I looked up and found a cluster of stars in the sky. It didn't rain the whole day and the weather just got better.“I need to call Jake.”My eyes went back to Caren. “Oh, please. That boy doesn't love you."She glared at me. “Just shut up!""How did you get back your phone, anyway?" I asked her. "D

"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.

"HERE is a glass of margarita."I said as I placed a glass of cocktail drink in front of Lenos."Wow," he said, looking at the alcohol in front of him and then to me. "You're good at this, baby."I chuckled. "Come on, bottom's up."He grabbed the glass and drank it in one gulp.We were in Polaris tonight. It was still an hour before the opening so I decided to show Lenos how to mix drinks."When did you learn how to mix alcohol?" he asked after he placed the empty glass on the counter."Hmm, I was fifteen, I think."His lips parted and I bit my lips to stop myself fr

"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. "Melissa was looking for you." I said, talkin

"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.

"I HAD so much fun today, Aunt Cresia." Leah said. "I enjoyed the rides, especially the anchor's away."We were already on our way home. It was already nine in the evening. 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

CAN you ask your Dad what time should I leave the house?I typed on my phone before I pressed send. I pursed my lips as I put down the phone on my dresser.Today was the weekend I asked Lenos for a date. I was already dressed. Leah asked me to wear something peach because she said she's gonna do the same. So now, I decided to wear a peach midi dress and white sandals.My hair was tied up in a French bun. We were going to a theme park so I know my hair will get messy.Leah and I…we've been texting each other since the day of her birthday. Not a minute later, I got a reply from her.Daddy said we're going to fetch you.Reall
