My eyes danced around and I saw students were enjoying the party. I'm seeing a lot of new faces, I guess they're from the other classes. I smiled gently as I sighted Anna, she was laughing with Clinton. What about Ava? I glanced around but I couldn't see her, where did she go huh? Goodness, I shut my eyes resting on the sofa when the lights suddenly went off. Huh? What happened? I clutched tightly to my phone as we waited for the light to be restored.

The lights came on but this time, it's dim, I bet they changed it. It's now a blue dim light.

"Hello everyone" Henry yelled as he walked in and students began cheering.

"So, the movie is about to start and it's a romantic one" he chuckled as Fanscho walked in with a bag. He poured the content down and I saw popcorn fall out. Really? I scoffed as I waited for Henry to continue.

"So, there are going to be drinks. Champagne or whatever you want, they'd bring it soon. You all should have fun as we wait for the movie to start. And mind you, t

    He chuckled before lifting my chin and I shut my eyes not to look at him, "tell me are you scared of me Camila?" He asked in a whisper and I opened my eyes."Of course…no" I whispered back."So, why the cold replies huh?" He asked, now his face was void of expression. I swallowed hard as I thought of his question. Was I cold to him? Well, of course, I should be."I'm sorry" was the only thing that came out of my mouth and he stared at me for a while."For what Camila?" He asked, his eyes not leaving me. "You didn't answer my questions, you only apologized," he muttered."You're too…too close" I whispered but he didn't bulge. "Someone might misinterpret" I added and he paused. He blinked rapidly before moving away from me and as if realizing something, he exhaled."I want a drawing from you" was the only thing he said as he stood up. He ruffled my hair before walking out leaving me on the balcony.CHLOE"So, what was that huh?" I asked as I reached Braden. He actually knows I've been b

    "How come you brought her here?" I stylishly asked Jack as he sat beside me."Could you believe she slept off? She slept off in the balcony" he chortled as he glanced at her. "I only went to the balcony searching for her and there, I saw her" "Ohh" I mouthed as I looked away. He better not ask me any question. I glanced at Camila again and she was curled up on the sofa. How can she be this beautiful, huh? Her lids were closed beautifully and I realized there's a charm on this girl. But she's asleep, isn't she going back tonight?"So, tell me, who's going to be your girl on your birthday?" Jack asked and I snapped out of my thoughts.I exhaled as I remembered my birthday is fast approaching, goodness, "no one, it's not compulsory I show the world one" I answered casually and he laughed."I just think you should get one," he smiled before standing up. I saw his eyes dart around, the sly smile on his lips and I saw him stare at a particular direction for a while."I'd be with that girl"

    HENRYI shut my eyes as I laid on the bed. I was in deep thoughts, when did she leave? At least she could have informed me before she left. Of course, she couldn't. I wasn't even with her. I was with that girl. Goodness, I regret the fact that I slept with that bitch. Oh no, I better control the way I sleep around. I guess I have to get a girlfriend now. But who? All girls are bitches. A message popped into my phone and I shut my eyes seeing it's my manager."Yes?" I texted him."Well Henry, there's a shoot and the organization wants pictures of you""No of course, I hate having to see my face everywhere" I texted back. Another message popped in but I didn't bother to check it. Goodness I'm not a fucking model not a celeb. They should just find people to advertise for them."Are you Henry?" I heard the voice of Jack. I picked the remote, opening the door for him."Now what brings you here huh?" I asked as I stared at him."How did we get home?" He asked his eyes searching through ever

    CAMILAI exhaled as I stood in front of the class and slowly, I placed my leg in. Goodness, I was stressed before I got a taxi. I hate all of this so much. If not that I can't afford Ubers, I'd conveniently use one. I smiled as it glanced around the class and the first person I saw was Henry. He was chatting with his friends. I looked away instantly before I'd be caught as walked timidly inside."Hi Clinton" I greeted when I reached him and he stared at me for a while."Are you trying to sound formal? We are friends, aren't we?" He asked and I nodded as I smiled."Of course we are," I chortled, making use of the seat."So, how was your weekend pretty?" "Common stop it Clinton. My weekend was okay" I chuckled as I blushed."I didn't see you around on Friday. Who were you with? Henry?"I turned to him with a shocked eye, what does he mean? "I was with no one, I was asleep" I told him as I took out my note."Okay" he hummed quietly before resting on the seat."Did you really miss him t

    CAMILAI exhaled as I sat on the sofa, seriously? Did he really have to say that? But…did I really act like I was being forced to talk? I shut my eyes in deep thought. Goodness, I really have to stop thinking. I'll just have something to eat.When I was done, I walked slowly to the store to see the materials. A sculpture? I guess I have to think of using this anytime soon but that …will take so long. I walked out gently to my room and I flopped down to the bed. Should I give Henry a call? Hell no. I know I should apologize but that should be to his face right? Goodness, I shut my eyes as I rolled on the bed. Did I really act like I was forcing him to talk? No, I was even enjoying the feeling of his fingers. I snorted as I picked the phone scrolling to his picture, he's very beautiful. Why would I not want to talk to him, huh?….The next day, I waited for him to appear in the class to no avail. Huh? Isn't he coming? When we were done with the second subject, he walked in majestically.

    CAMILAI stared into my sketchpad once more and slowly, I smiled seeing his face. I couldn't believe I drew it that day. I chuckled as I ran my hands on his face in the book. But now, he's mad. It's been three days since we last spoke. I really can't believe he'd ignore me because I couldn't apologize for what I don't even know. I sluggishly shuffled towards Anna and Ava and as soon as I got to them, they both glared at me."Hi" I greeted ignoring their glares. "How're you doing, huh?" I asked with a small smile but they didn't even care to stare at me. "What's wrong?" I asked, quietly and Anna looked up at me."You're a threat Camila, I don't want you as my friend" she answered and that felt like a bullet in my skin. What?"Why?" I asked in a whisper."Because we hate you. You get all the attention we deserve. Everybody we like likes you. We hate you" Ava spoke meanly and I stared at them surprised."But…you…I don't understand" I stuttered as I stared at Anna but she looked away, avo

    HENRYStaring down at my hands, I couldn't believe it's my birthday. My freaking birthday. I chuckled as my hand instinctively searched inside the wardrobe looking for nothing in particular. My fingers felt something and I pulled it out. And there it was, her necklace. I sighed as I stared at it, it's for her, my late mother. I sniffed as I remembered her. I didn't get to spend time with her because they couldn't afford things with me, I had to go stay with a family member."Henry!" Dad called and I turned to him instantly."Happy birthday Henry" he smiled as he pulled me to him and I hugged him. I know he sacrificed a lot to be with me, "may you live long Henry" he smiled as he pulled away from the hug."Happy birthday Mr." I heard the voice of my so-called step mother. I hummed silently as she reached me with a big box. "You've grown so big" she smiled as she ruffled my hair and I scoffed mentally."Here, a birthday present" she smiled, placing it on the table. "All the guests are d

    HENRY"Happy birthday Henry" Mia jumped on me and I chuckled as I hugged her. "Goodness, I can't believe you're 19 now" she smiled as she ruffled my hair. "I brought a gift for you, I'm sure you'd like it" she chuckled while playing with my hands. I subconsciously glanced around, searching for Camila. Why can't I see her yet?"Oh, if it's not the birthday boy," Chloe laughed as she reached me. I exhaled as I stared at her dress, it's very exposing. What was she thinking when she wore this? "I look beautiful, right?" She twirled around and I scoffed mentally."Well, of course you are" I heard the voice say and looking up, I was shocked to see Braden. Braden? I haven't seen him since the incident that day."You're back" I mumbled as I pulled him into a hug. He chuckled patting my back before he disengaged and I saw him stare at Chloe, eating her up with his gaze. She looked away slightly scared and as she made to leave, he grabbed her hand."I'll go meet Sam" Mia said scurrying off and

She exhaled as she continued watching.So, what will happen to Camila's and Henry's relationship huh? And Chloe, she wondered how she'd feel.She was so engrossed in the state's activities that she didn't know when the person approached her."Hey" the voice jerked her back to reality and she smiled on seeing Clinton.The smile left her face when she saw him stare intently at her."What?" She mumbled under her breath. His look was kind of holding compassion but she better not think far."Camila isn't in school?" He glanced around and she nodded to his question. Does he still want Camila?"Won't she come for exams?" She heard him say under his breath and she almost scoffed."Do you still like her?" She found herself asking. The question made Clinton pause because yes, he still wanted her."No" he lied but it felt like he was telling the truth.Anna gave a discreet smile before turning to him

    Braden stared at Chloe as she slept. They had a good time and he enjoyed every bit of it. He came here to make love to her because when he heard she still wanted Henry, he wanted to go mad. He couldn't believe it but thank goodness, he thought of everything.Chloe was just someone who lacked love and Samantha only influenced her. So, he came with the intention to make things clear. He loves her and she needs to know.She moved closer to him and he wrapped his arms around her in a protective manner.…When Chloe woke up, he was still admiring her. Chloe sat up with a blush as her boobs dangled down.Braden pulled her to him before he exhaled, "I love you."His voice was in a whisper yet it meant so much to Chloe. She pulled away from the hug, her shock evident on her face.He said he loves her? She blinked rapidly as she processed it."You…you" she wanted to say but he stopped her with a kiss."Yes, I love you" he declared once more, a happy smile on his lips."Oh my gosh, oh my gosh"

    CAMILAI sobbed as I curled up on the bed. I tried hugging my tiny self as I reminisced on everything.If Henry is angry then, maybe, he might just end things with me.He…he will tell me to fuck off. A tear ran down my face as I thought of it. No, I can't think of losing Henry.The knock on the door interrupted my thoughts and I dashed to the door immediately.My face sank when I saw it wasn't Henry but my face lit up seeing it's Fanscho."Fanscho…" I subconsciously pulled him into a hug.Damn, I haven't seen him for a long time.He chortled as he patted my back which got me smiling."You're really okay, thank goodness."I pulled away instantly and he laughed, "come with, Henry sent for you.""Henry?" I batted my eyelashes as happiness surged through me, "where's he?""Come with me, I'll take you."…My heartbeat quickened as we took every step towards the garden where Henry was. Fanscho was leading the way and I tentatively walked behind him.Will Henry break up with me? No, why'd he

    CAMILAMy heart thumped loudly inside of me and I glanced at Henry but he only stared unfazed. Isn't he scared or bothered?Well, just now dad said he has to talk to the two of us and…I'm scared.I'm scared he's going to end everything between us. No, I don't want that. I don't want to lose Henry."Stop being a scared pussycat" Henry gave a lopsided smile and I didn't know how but…it made me smile. I know he meant something else. He's being naughty while I'm scared huh? Well of course, he became naughty when he came back.You had to see how many times he had me yesterday."Shut up!" I whispered jokingly but paused when the footsteps approached.Dad is coming."Heyy" he sat down and my heart sank at his sight. I hate having to see his arm this way.I held back my tears as I waited for what he had to say."Camila…" he called with an exhale and Henry scoffed."You know you're my blood now and that's affecting your relationship with Henry."A lone tear ran down my face as he said what I e

    HENRYAnger boiled in me as I stared at them. Why did they even leave me in the hospital? I came here with Mia and just at the doorstep, I heard him talk lovingly to Camila. He loves her that much?Of course, she's his lost daughter. But he has never directed such attention to me. Even while Camila was away, he took Chloe as his daughter and he only treated me less than a son."Answer me!" I ordered and I saw Camila flinch. Her lips trembled and I knew she was scared.No, I wasn't her for that, I shouldn't make her scared ."Why did you leave?" I sauntered towards her and she swallowed trying to maintain eye contact with me."She had…" dad tried speaking but I stopped him."I need you to excuse us" I ordered, anger building in me. He only nodded and he ruffled Camila's hair before walking out.Wow! How much he loves her. Now, I'm forced to think he's not my dad."Why did you leave?" I held Camila's jaw as I stared softly at her."I…I…I…please…just go Henry" she stuttered and I exhaled

    HENRYI woke up with a flicker of pain. My head hurt and my arm hurt. I tried opening my eyes but my lids felt too heavy.I tried rolling on the bed but the pain in my chest made me stay still. I groaned when the pain increased and the events came rushing to my memory.I was shot…I was with Camila . Camila was telling me to hold on but I couldn't. She told me she loved me, she told me to stay alive but my hands slipped off her face.Am I dead? Is that why I can't open my lids?I opened my mouth to speak, maybe someone could tell me where I was, "anyone there?""Henry?" I heard the voice. A familiar voice.I heard footsteps which meant the person was coming towards me. And…that's when my lids opened.I squinted my eyes as the rays hit my eyes and I saw Mia.Mia? I thought it's Camila. I glanced around as I searched for Camila but I only saw Chloe. Where's my love? Charles didn't take her, did he?Mia reached me and immediately, she took my hand, sobbing lightly."You're okay now.""Whe

    CHLOEI grinned as they all stared at me as the only hope they had. I saw the Governor, no ex-Governor glared at me but I didn't care.When Camila left, I thought about it.She said a few words and her explanation seemed quite true but I didn't believe her. But when she talked to dad, I saw the affection he had for her. Even when they wanted to kidnap him, they took her first so it could be true.And then Henry is in the hospital, he needs my own kind of blood. So, I had to use the opportunity to my advantage. I've always wanted Henry or Braden but this morning, Braden didn't care so I could just have Henry.I know we aren't siblings but only dad and I know that. So…I have to keep it away from Camila to get what I want.I don't care if he's my cousin or not."Tell us, what do you want?" Camila asked desperately."Only one thing, before he wakes up, you get out of his life. I want Henry so you have to step back.""Chloe! This isn't the …" Mia tried saying but I raised my hands and she

    CHLOEI got out and I saw her eyes widened."Camila?" Mia ran out and I ran after her."Mia!" We reached her and Mia retreated in her steps when she saw the person."Henry? Henry?" She bent down and I saw tears roll down her eyes. A tear rolled down when I saw him. Henry. He's covered in a pool of blood.How did this happen? I looked over at Camila and saw…her face was plastered and filled with bruises.Did Uncle Charles torture them this much?"Henry?' Mia kept shaking him but his lids didn't even open."How…how did this happen?" Mia stuttered before she stood up. She grabbed Camila angrily. "How did this happen?"She wanted to speak but all that came out was a gasp. She was choking on her tears."Henry?" I took his hands and saw they were pale already.I saw Camila stare intently at me as tears rolled down her face."Where's the Governor?" Mia asked and Camila paused."Dad…dad…he's inside" she rushed towards the left and I ran after her. Wait, why did she call him dad? We got in an

    CHLOE"Chloe!" I heard the voice barge in and I turned to the person immediately."Mia?" I called as my lips quivered."Where…where's Henry? Where's Camila? Where is the Governor? Are…is the news true?" She rushed her words and I scoffed."I don't know…Mia, I don't" I shut my eyes as a tear rolled down. Is it true? Why'd he confess to it? I didn't even know it was…it was uncle Charles.Damn. He finally caught the Governor. A secret we've tried to bury. Yes, we, I knew about it years back and that's why I struck a deal with the Governor. For his secret to remain with me, he has to treat me like his own. Not like I'd rat him out or anything.And he did…"Where…where are the guards?" Mia asked and I looked up."They…they all left.""Goodness " she shut her eyes, pacing around. "Where…where are they? We have to go save them" she mumbled and my eyes widened. What?"What…what, we have no guards.""Where are they?" She yelled and I flinched."Here, the guards tracked their location before t
