CASSANDRA's POV
I was lying on my bed while looking at the ceiling, remembering what happened earlier. I can't forget it. But I want to forget it because the more I remember it, the more I get annoyed.
Annoyed for the reason that I assumed that he was referring to me. It's kind of funny. Why did I assume that I was the reason why he joined soccer? It's funny. Really!
Whatever.
I shoved my face on my pillow and close my eyes. Suddenly, my phone vibrates. I quickly get up and took my phone on the top of the drawer and look at the phone screen to see who texted me, but it was just a chain message.
"Argh!" I muttered in annoyance and put my phone back in the drawer. Who the hell invented that chain message? It's annoying.
Closing my eyes again, in just a minute, I fell asleep.
The next morning.
After our second class ended this morning, the boys exit our room, and
KHAI's POVOnce we got to the field, we approach the coach, and Brayn approaches the old team members who are currently practicing. "Khai and Von, right?" He asks us. "Yes, coach." Von and I answer in the chorus. He looked at the paper he was holding, then looked at us, nodding his head, he calls Brayn. I am not calling him senior because of his disgusting attitude.Brayn stops practicing and runs in our direction. "Yes, coach?""Lead them to the locker room and give them the jersey." He instructed Brayn then look at me and Von again. "We will have a friendly game today. But it's up to you two if you want to join or you can just tomorrow." He says. "Okay, coach." Von answer."Okay. Go get your soccer uniform."We nod our heads. Brayn walked over to us first, Von and I follow him. Once we got to the locker room, he just pointed to the cabinet in which the soccer uniform is placed. "Thanks," Von says to
~*~Khai has been calling me for the twentieth time, but none of his calls I bother to answer. I didn't go to school today, not because I am mad at him or I am lazy to attend school, but because I'm embarrassed to show my face to him. That is for the reason that I got a big pimple on the bridge of my nose. I've been staring at my face in the mirror all day, thinking how to get rid of this pimple. Gosh! Why now??? I tried to touch it but it's painful. Ah, this is disgusting! My phone rings again, and it was Khai again. I just stare at my phone with a long face while it keeps on ringing, Khai's name exposed on the screen. "Don't you have a plan to answer the call?" It was my nanny who spoke. I hadn't noticed she enter my room. Since my mother is working abroad to manage our family business, I only live with my nanny. She's been my
I was packing my things when I heard a knock from outside. Walking over to the door and open it, I saw my mum. "Can I come in?" She asks my permission. I just nod my head, letting her enter my room. I go back folding my clothes and put them inside my suitcase. "What are you doing? Why are you packing your clothes?" She asks me in confusion when she entered my room. "I'm leaving mum," I say. "What? What do you mean you're leaving?" She's a little bit surprised. Picking another cloth inside my closet, I fold it and put it inside my suitcase, and repeat. "I'm leaving the house. I'm getting a condominium.""Why? Is it because of your father? Calm down, Khai. You know him. Just understand him a little bit longer. Okay?""Dad has nothing to do with this. I just really want to have a condo. Please allow me." I say, zipping my suitcase and look at her. "I want to live alone," I added. She sighs out and sits on my bed, across from
CASSANDRA's POV "What took Steph so long?" Sab asked while looking at the entrance door of the cafeteria. "I already sent her a message. Let us just wait for her. She might on her way." I say. "Oh, right. Von told me the reason why they fought with the seniors yesterday." "Really? What is the reason? Tell me." I asked, eagerly. "They made a bet. If the seniors won, Khai and Von will leave the team. But when Khai and Von won, the seniors will stop bothering them and have to accept their participation in the team.""So, does that mean...""Right. There will be no seniors who will bother them from now on." She giggles. I finally breathe in relief. "Thank goodness.""Yeah. I don't have to worry about my boyfriend from now on." She laughs a little."Right," I say, giggling. After a while, Von and Khai go back to our place, bringing trays that have a portion of food. They place the tray on the table and si
KHAI's POVThe bell for the next class rang. Before heading to the classroom, I go to the comfort room to pee, Von is with me.Turning on the faucet, I wash my hands. Von did the same. But I noticed that he is acting strange right now. I mean, he keeps on looking at me as if he has something to tell or maybe to ask me."What is it? Tell me. No, ask me." I say as I turn off the faucet."What?" He pretends to be confused.I look at him. "Come on, what is it? Or should I say, what do you want to know?" I ask him again.He turns off the faucet, takes a sigh. "So, I got caught. Well, I just want to confirm something. Do you like her? I mean, Cassandra. Do you like her? I know you have a girlfriend but...""Yeah. I still like her." I cut his line.He was shocked at what I said."What? Can you repeat what did you just say?"
~*~My phone keeps vibrating because of Khai's messages and I keep on ignoring them. It is not that I am upset, mad, or angry with him, but I am... with myself. Yes. I am bad at Math and I will be forever bad in this subject. And I hate myself because of me, because of my dumbness, I put Khai in trouble. [FLASHBACK] "How are you going to explain this Cassandra?" The principal asks me in a serious tone of her voice, looking at me intensely than at Khai. "Why did you give her your paper, Khai?"My body is shivering in nervousness and fear. Oh my god. This is all because of me. I was not able to answer my answer sheet so Khai had to give me his paper, and unfortunately, the teacher caught us, and she reported us to the principal immediately. And now I know all of our classmates are bad mouthing me because of what I did, putting Khai
I thought we are going to the restaurant but no. Instead, Khai brought me to his condo unit. I did not know he got a condo. "Drink this first while waiting for the food." Khai hands me a glass of water as he sits down on the other sofa, across to me. "Thanks," I say as I took the glass and take a drink. "So, when did you get a condo?" I ask him. I was curious since we got here. "Yesterday.""Yesterday? So, you just moved in?""Yeah." He nods his head. "I was having a hard time traveling every morning going to school so I decided to..." He wasn't able to continue his sentence because his phone suddenly rings. He looks just at it and ignores the call. Who could that be? Could it be... It was Vivian who called him? Possibly. "So, I decided to get a condo near the school so it would be convenient for me." He continued what he had to say. "Oh, I see," I reply. After a while, the food he ordered for dinner arriv
"Cali? Cali? Are you still awake?""Maybe not.""Good night, Cali. Sweet dreams. I love you."I wake up catching my breath, looking in Khai's direction. It was a dream. Damn, I thought it was real. I let out a deep breath and stretches my arms. Then, I slowly got up from the bed and check the time. 5:30 AM. Oh my god, I need to go home before Steph could leave the house.I carefully walked out of the room so I can't disturb Khai from his tight sleeping, then I went straight to the bathroom to change my clothes. After changing, I get my bag on the sofa and leave his condo.On my way to the elevator, I get my phone, turn it on and I immediately texted Sab to remind her that she should cover me up to Steph later. Just in case, she forgot my favor.The elevator door opened instantly when I got to the ground floor. Walking out, I head straight out of the buildi
STEPH’s POVI woke up early to go to the salon. I suddenly thought of changing my hairstyle. And I'm going to have a pedicure too.I was leaning my back on the chair to relax when my phone suddenly beeps. I got a text message. For sure it’s Cassandra. I did not tell her I was leaving the house today. Well, I don't want to disturb her moment with Khai.Anyway, I took my phone inside my bag and I looked at the screen. I was certain to see her name on the screen, but it was not her name who popped up on my phone screen. Rather, it was from Sab./Where are you? We have something important to do today./My forehead creased after reading her message.Something important to do today? I did not know. Or maybe she was wrong sent?/What are you talking about?/ I replied to her. /Wrong sent?/ I added.Wit
THE NEXT MORNING~It's the weekend. I am presently having breakfast with Khai. He said the food that we are eating was cooked by his mother. No wonder they are all taste delicious."It's delicious, isn't it?" He asks me."Yeah. So good." I reply while giggling."Eat a lot," he says, gently pinching my cheek."Wait..." I stop eating and look at him."Hmm?""I can't eat them anymore. Your mother cooked this for you. She might..." I was not able to continue my sentence when she put his index finger on my lips. Then, he wiped the corner of my lips."There was a sauce." He smiles. "Don't worry, you can eat them. What's mine is yours too. Plus, mum doesn't hate you. I guess you already know that."I take a breath. "Um. I know that."He holds my ha
KHAI’s POVI quickly stand up from sitting on the sofa when the door of my unit opened. Cali and Vivian entered. They are both smiling brightly.What happened?“Khai, are you okay?” Vivian asks me with a little laugh. “You seemed to be seeing a ghost.” She added.Cali just chuckled.“What... what happened? Why are you two get along?”“Why? Do you want us to fight?” Vivian ask.“No. I mean...”“Ah, I’m hungry. Do you have food to eat here?” Vivian asks and she heads straight to the kitchen. Cali, on the other hand, approached me.She hugged me, shoving her face on my chest.“Cali...”“Hmm?”“What happened? What
KHIM’s POVI am on my way home now. I left the school after the fireworks display.My shift is over and I have nothing to do there. Also, I don’t think he is coming.But... why he didn’t come?I also cannot stop looking at my phone, hoping that I would receive a message from him even though I know it’s impossible.I’m the crazy one here, hoping for his message.Go back to your senses, Khim. Who are you for him to text?I sighed out.After a few minutes, I arrived at my house. And I saw that there was a car parked outside the gate of my house.Who’s car is that?It’s not Khai, because I know his car. Not mum’s car neither.Unfastening my seatbelt, I got out of my car, then walke
~*~VIVIAN's POV[5:40 PM]My phone rings while I am on my way to the house. It was my mum who is calling. I just now left the airport.“Hey, mum.” I beam as I picked up her call.“Where are you now?” She asks from the other line.Actually, mum should pick me up now but I don't want to bother her anymore. Besides I can still manage.“I’m on my way there mum,” I say.“What?” I knew it would shock her.“Yeah, I already left the airport. Don’t bother anymore, mum. I’m on my way there. See you!” I say and before she could respond, I hang up the call.I want to surprise them, especially Khai. He also doesn't know that I am already back. Well, I did not call him either.
~*~/Maybe it's intuitionBut some things you just don't questionLike in your eyes, I see my future in an instantAnd there it goesI think I found my best friendI know that it might soundMore than a little crazy but I believe/Khai breaks the kiss after a minute, but our forehead remains close to each other. Just then, warm applause wrapped us. It was then I realized that we are surrounded by our fellow students. Oh jeez. I forgot that we are still inside the campus./I knew I loved you before I met youI think I dreamed you into lifeI knew I loved you before I met youI have been waiting all my life/I slightly move my body away from Khai because I suddenly feel shy.Gosh, they just saw that we kissed."You're blushing," Khai says while chuckling.
~*~/Forever is a long time but I keep my words that I save to youTogether we can go far as long as I'm with you/I looked at the guy who is singing on the stage. I cannot clearly see his face because it was a bit dark where he was not until the spotlight hit him./Cause I will fall for you no matter what they sayI still love you I still love youYou'll never be alone now look me in the eyesI still love you I still love youTill forever/“Khai?” I uttered.Wait... is it really him?I take a step forward so I could see him closer.Oh my god. It’s really him. He is sitting on the chair, strumming a guitar, singing while looking at me.Wait... how did he get there? I thought he left the school./If one day you don't recognize my voiceIf
ALEX'sWhat's happening to me? Why did I overreact? Tss. So what is she was harassed by Brayn? That was before anyway. And it was none of my business.That's right.Whatever."Hey, bro!"I was a little bit startled when someone puts an arm on my shoulder. It was Von."It is okay. That is the first stage of confirming your feelings to someone.""What?" My forehead folded at what he said. What is he saying?"Come on. I know you like Steph. You are just still confused." He says with a little laugh.What did he just say?I... I like Steph?"Where did you get that news? I don't like her." I defended.Well, I am certain that I don't like her. Just like what I said before, I don't ha

Of course, we will gonna watch that to support the players of our school.Time check, it is already a quarter to two. Presently, Sab and I are here outside of the Locker room of soccer players, waiting for Von, Alex, and Khai so we could eat lunch together. Steph, on the other hand, I think she is already in the school cafeteria, waiting for us."Hey, I saw that," I tell Sab while giggling. She keeps on smiling and I know the reason why."Don't mention it." She giggled. Her face turns red. No. It is still red."Why? Are you shy, huh?" I laugh a little, poking her waist."Hey! Of course." She laughs."Jeez. But that looks so cute. You are lucky,
