CASSANDRA’s POV
*IN THE MORNING*
“Hey, I’m going!” I shouted as I walk down the stairs.
Today, I am going to meet him. We will go to the market to buy ingredients for the menu that I will be going to teach him. I did not sleep much last night because I studied carefully what Steph taught me how to cook the Lyon-Style Chicken with Vinegar Sauce and Braised Pork with Pearl Onions and Grapes.
“What!? Where are you going!?” She shouted from the kitchen.
I walk to the kitchen when I got down the stairs. She is preparing our breakfast. I took a piece of bread and grab a bite.
“I just have something important to do. I’ll be back later!” I reply and hurriedly exit the kitchen before she could ask me more questions.
You know that girl. She is so very nosy.
As soon as I got
CASSANDRA's POV"Little girl! What's yours? Fish? What kind of fish?" The vendor asks me as she showed the fish in front of Khai's face. Khai immediately shrieks in shocked. The vendor laughs at him as well as me. Gosh, the face he made was so very funny.I am expecting him to shout at the Vendor but he did not."You okay?" I ask him with a little laugh."Yeah. I'm okay." He stuttered, fixing the collar of his white polo. Fortunately, he is wearing a black polo today. The stain will not be visible."So, are you going to buy?" The vendor asks us again."Ah, N—" I wasn't able to continue my sentence because Khai spoke."Yes. Give us four." He says.Eh? But we are not going to cook fish stuff."All right. Four fish! Hang on. I will pack them for you." The vendor says.I loo
"Already. What's next?" Khai asks me after he puts the seasonings to the fish."Uh... Do you have flour here?""Flour? Oh, sorry, I don't have it in here. Why? What is the flour for?" He asks."You know, to make the fish crispy." I know. Because I once observed Steph while she was cooking fried chicken."Oh, I see. So, what we gonna do? I don't have flour. Should I buy?""Can you?""Sure. I will be quick." He says and immediately removes his apron."Okay," I say, then he exits the kitchen and leaves his unit.As soon as he left, I get my phone and watch the tutorial again. It was then I know, it was really different from the tutorial, what we did was very different from the tutorial I watched. Oh goodness! I need to search for other steps that have flour used.And I found one. Thank goodness!
CASSANDRA's POV"I told you to be careful," I told while I am putting betadine on his cut."Are you worried?" All of a sudden, he asks.I am a liar if I would say I am not. Well, just a friend. Not a close friend. Whatever.I look at him and just slightly rolled my eyes then go back to treating his words. I heard his chuckles."Did you just rolled your eyes on me?""Yes." I instantly answer."Okay. So, are you worried about me?""Don't ask.""Why? Is it hard to answer? You will only answer 'yes' and 'no—""Yes. I am worried." I cut his line. But I am not looking at him. I don't want to see his reactions. But for pretty sure he is smiling."Don't assume. Just because I am worried, doesn't mean..." I was not able to continue my sentence because he sudd
KHAI's POV Shit. I did not know what brings them here. Why all of a sudden? And Steph is even here."When did you learn cooking?" Alex asks me while laughing a little."Now.""Did you bought them alone?" It was Sab who ask me. She is referring to the ingredients on the table."Yeah. I bought them alone a while ago in the market." I answer, trying to sound natural even though my voice is stuttering a little bit.Damn. Cali has not finished cooking the fish yet. What if they will ask me to do it? I do not know how.Cali, help me."I'm hungry." It was Steph who spoke. I suddenly looked at her. Alex also looked at her.What is she trying to say?"I feel you, Steph," Sab added while giggling. "I suddenly feel hungry again when I smelled what Khai was cooking.""Yeah." Steph looked at me. "I haven't eaten breakfast yet so... Go on. Continue the cooking you are doing. We want to eat."D
"Cassandra!? What are you doing here?""Hey, lower down your voice." I approached her."But... But... What are you doing here?" She asks, shocked and confused are written on his face."It's just..." I was not able to continue my sentence when a familiar voice called her."Sab!? Are you there?"Wait... Was that Steph!? Is she also here?"Is Steph is here?" I ask in a whisper. My eyes widened."Yes. She's here. With us.""Oh my god. She can't see me.""Huh? Why?""Hey, Sab?" Steph's voice again from outside of Khai's room."I will explain to you, but please Sab. Save me. Just this once." I hurriedly say, begging her."Okay. Okay. Relax. Don't panic. You are making me nervous." She says."Sab???" Steph called her again. Just then, we heard the door opened. Steph entered."Oh my god. Let us go inside." I say and I drag her to go inside of the bathroom. I locked the door. Steph keeps on calling her.
MONDAY~CASSANDRA'S POV"Has everyone passed?" Professor Frederick asks while he is waving the all papers he is holding. "Yes, Professor." We all answered. "All right. That is all for today. You are dismissed." Professor Fred says and he walks out of the room."Finally, it's lunchtime. I was starving. I did not eat breakfast." It was Sab who is speaking. Steph is in her cheerleader practice, and Von and Khai are also in their soccer practice. The sports fest is on Friday so all athletes are on their practice. They are all excuses for their classes. "Me too. I only eat bread and milk. Steph doesn't have time to cook since we have to leave the house early." I say while I am putting my stuff inside my bag. "Let's go," I say and I stood up. Sab also stood up. "Okay. Let's go." Then we walk out of our room. We are now on our way to the school cafeteria. All of a sudden, a phone rings. I thought i

"Of course, I will," Khai says. He looks at me. "Oh my god! Cass, did you hear that!? Khai will be going to join the club if you want him to. Oh my god. You must tell him now to join the music club!" Sab says in enthusiasm while wiggling my right arm. Oh jeez. Looking at Khai, I give him an are-you-crazy? What-are-you-doing-look, but he just smiles at me, shrugging his shoulder then he turns his attention to his food. Meanwhile, Alex and Von are smiling in tease. All right, they are frying me right now. Seriously, this is very awkward for me. I could feel all of my blood goes to my face."You know what, you should eat now. You are hungry, right?" I tell her, avoiding the topic. "Are you not going to tell him to join the music club?" "Why would I? It's up to him if he will be joining the club or not. It has nothing to do with me." I say. "Of course, it..." She was not able to continue her sentenc
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,
