2024-10-29 19:42:56We had arrived at the sushi place and boy was I hungry, we sat at a table for four and I immediately grabbed the menu.
“Foods on me since it’s Kaia’s celebration.” Jake said proudly and Xander rolled his eyes, “I can pay my own meal thank you.” I put a palm on my forehead with a groan.
Now why does this feel like de ja vu?
“Oh free food is the best!” Allison suddenly said calling the waiter and I mouthed a ‘thank you’ to her, relieved that she butts in before a fight breaks in. We all ordered food and started eating in comfortable silence.
“I’m so excited for the school festival, you’re coming right?” Allison asked Jake surprising us all.
Jake looked at me before answering her, “of course, Kaia invited me.” She hummed in response,
“great! The more the merrier, I can’t wait to meet your sister too Kaia.”I choked on my sushi

“Grandma, grandma! Can you read me another story?” Kaia asked her grandmother as she was being tucked in bed, “but I just read you one already, aren’t you sleepy now? It’s late already.”She shook her head and began jumping up and down, “I love listening to your stories! Don’t worry when I grow up, I’ll know how to read long words by then and I’ll read all your books all by myself!” that made her grandmother laugh, ‘that’s great, you better start practice reading… now come here and I’ll read you another one and you’ll sleep after okay?”Kaia nodded and went back to lying on her bed.Her grandmother started the story, and it wasn’t long before she saw Kaia’s eyes began to droop and she fell asleep. She closed the book she was reading before she pulls the covers up to Kaia’s shoulders. She kissed her goodnight before going out the room, turning

Silence... a warning that time was running out. He held her closer to his body."I don't have much time..." Cassiopeia whispered, of course he already knows that. He can't just accept it. He wanted to do something, anything just to keep her alive."Please don't say that." he said softly and touched her face, memorizing every detail of it. She shook her head, “You know I'm bound to die eventually." she said, stubborn as always and he smiled sadly.He's going to miss that attitude of hers, "Let's just---***"KAIAAAAA!" I winced at the loud voice who interrupted me doing my work. I was already on the good part and now my concentration was lost.I glared at my best friend who entered my room panting, probably because he ran all the way here. I looked at him and saw sweat fall from his face. Still, he looked handsome for me. Then he looked at me and smiled.That smile... one of the reasons why I f

"What time is it?" I asked him."It's 3 pm"I overslept, having such a weird dream kept me from my work and now I'm a little behind schedule. I quickly stood up and grabbed my notebook. "Hey, you must have fallen asleep while doing that and yet here you are, writing again. Wow, I'm amazed by your passion.”I rolled my eyes at him. Should I tell him that bizarre dream? Well, it was just a dream but... It felt so unreal."I think you should eat first or better yet, fix yourself first. Your hair looks like a haystack." he joked. I touched my hair and became self-conscious. Seriously Kaia. Just because your best friends don’t mean it’s okay to let him see you look like that."I uh... need to go to the bathroom." I excused myself.I'm so stupid. I know I shouldn't be embarrassed because he'd already seen me at my worse, but I can't help it with him being a guy, much more the guy that I like. I brushed my

Alexander paid for their crepes and was about to go back to where Cassiopeia was, when he saw her fall. There are a few things that scares him, and one of them is seeing Cassiopeia unconscious. He dropped the food as he run towards her, his heart beating loudly with every step he takes. As soon as he had gone to her, some people have already gathered around them. “Cass… Cassiopeia. Love! Wake up!” he pats her face softly hoping she would just wake up. Someone walked towards them and started checking on Cass. When the woman started checking for her pulse, Alexander pulls her away from the stranger.“I’m a nurse don’t worry. How about we take her somewhere less crowded where she can lie down.” He didn’t know if he should follow her orders, but Alexander lead her to Cass’s house and lay her on the bed who’s still unconscious. The woman checked her body to see what’s wrong with her. &

My eyes are blurred, full of tears that I couldn’t see the person who’s coming towards us. I heard Jake arguing with someone, that voice is familiar, but my drunken mind couldn’t decipher who that person is.I stopped crying and wiped my tears, already forgetting the reason why I was crying in the first place. Suddenly, a hand grabbed my arm breaking me out of my daze. I looked up at the person and saw Xander, with a clenched jaw, he runs his hand through his hair.“I’m gone for thirty minutes Kaia. Thirty minutes, and I’d come back to this? What happened? Why are you crying? Did that guy hurt you?”Dang, even though he’s angry he’s still hot.“Kaia! Are you even listening to me? Wait… are you drunk?” I didn’t get to talk, as he argue with Jake once more, leaving me with my drunken thoughts. I felt lightheaded and my stomach started to churn. “Xander.&rdquo

WHAT THE HECK AM I DOING HERE?How did I end up in my story, again?! I just can’t show up in her house with nothing like “Hey Cass! I’m back from my world and I don’t how I ended up here.” I sighed and saw a café, maybe I can buy food and give it to her as a thank you for what she’d done last time.Maybe I can find some clues in her house as to why I ended up here again. Good job ol’ me!I went inside the café and gasped, oh how beautiful this café is! It’s like those Korean cafes you see on kdramas. I went to look at the pastries and my mouth waters at the sight, there are a variety of pastries, ranging from breads to cakes. I didn’t notice I was hungry till my stomach decided to growl.I saw a beautiful woman walked towards me, “good afternoon, see anything you like?” she asked me softly and I looked back at the shelves of food, and

“You what?” he asked still confused, “This henna is from Cassiopeia, a character from my story, the one I’m currently writing.” He grabbed my wrist and examined it closely.“Are you sure you didn’t draw this?” I glared at him, “I’m a writer not an artist, you know I can’t draw even if my life depends on it.”He still didn’t look convinced, so I continue eating. No matter how many times I tell him, he just won’t believe it, but come to think of it, Cassiopeia and Xander were not a dream, they are true and alive, and this henna is a proof of it.More questions started to form in my head and it’s starting to give me headache.“Kaia look, can we please take a break from that story?” he pleaded and all I can do is nod weakly. No use in making him believe me now, he’s starting to get irritated.My phone vibrated; it was from an unknown num

We arrived at home, and he decided to have dinner here at my house. I stared at him as we eat our food quietly and I'm starting to go insane.We never eat quietly, as in never."Can you please talk to me? I'm starting to go crazy here." I said giving him a sad face.He stopped eating then sighed, "okay" was all he said and continued eating. I've waited for a few minutes, but he's still not talking."Hey! I'm sorry about awhile ago." I whined at him and gave him my cutest puppy eyes, hoping he couldn't resist it."You shouldn't have accepted his invitation." He said flicking me on the forehead."But I wanted to go see what's in there, besides, if we didn't come, I wouldn't know about that email." I said and glared at him as I remembered it again.We put the dishes on the sink, and go upstairs. He started to turn on the TV and went to grab some Cd's."What movie do you want to watch?"I gave him a look and he made a 'tsk'

“Alexander, I told you I already dried my hair. Please stop throwing water at me.” Cassiopeia complained but Alex didn’t do anything, so he looked at her with a raised eyebrow.“I didn’t do anything, what do you mean?”Just then, he felt something on his head too, he looked at Jade who is behind him and Jade crossed her arms on her chest, “do you think I would do that?” she muttered and looked at the sky as droplets of water started to pour.“It’s raining, come on inside the car.” Alex said grabbing Cassiopeia’s hand, but she won’t budge.“Never mind that I dried my hair already, I want to play in the rain.” She said happily, “I don’t” Jade said rushing to the car leaving them getting wet.“It’s okay if you don’t want to join me Alex, being here was enough.” Cassiopeia s

"Do you really can’t go with us? We can eat at your favorite restaurant if you want.” Allison said and she kept giving me her puppy eyes look.I shook my head and gave her a grin, “I really can’t Allison, I still have to go with my groupmates. Kierra already ordered food and I was too shy to decline as they did a good job on the announcement board…”She pouted that I felt guilty, “how about you and Xander come to my book uh… I don’t know what it’s called.” I said in realization, is it a book report? Story telling? The two looked at me expectantly, “A book recital I guess… it will be held at the university, I could need some support.” I said awkwardly.Allison squealed, “of course we’re going! Right Xander?” she nudged him, and he gave me a soft smile, “I wouldn’t miss it.”We went back to the room after lunch to do the final touches o

I fell... right? But why didn't I feel any pain?I slowly opened my eyes and saw Xander under me, "are you okay?" He asked with a groan, and I immediately stood up to help him."You're asking me if I’m, okay? You're the one who's groaning in pain!" I said in concern, his position a while ago was very far from me, so I was very surprised when he saved me from the fall."Oh my gosh you two, are you both okay?" Allison rushed to us; I managed a nod but I still looked at Xander who's holding his forehead."I'm okay.""He's not."We both said and I looked at him to see that he's glaring at me."Well, I'm glad Kaia's okay, so

The four of us gathered at the table and Cassiopeia started slicing and handing the bread to us.“Thank you for making this, Cass.” I said as I received my plate, I saw Jade rolled her eyes and I gave her a smirk.I took a bite of the banana bread, and I must admit, it tastes so good.All of us ate quickly and Alex presented to wash the dishes so Cass could go back to what she was doing. I followed her back in the living room and Jade does the same, she sat beside Cassiopeia again and Cass looked at her in surprise.“You’re not going back to your room?”Jade’s eyebrows furrowed, “why? Can’t I watch you draw?” Cass shook her head, “you rarely hang with me, are you really that surprised that I know how to draw?” Jade avoided her gaze, “I just find it fascinating that’s all… besides, I don’t have anything else to do.” She muttered and I let out a soft laug

I don’t know what to say as I really thought it was Allison’s idea. It was Allison whose adamant save our friendship and Xander was just there with her.So, the feeling of someone brushing my hair away from my face was not just a dream… It was really him.“Did the strawberry milk worked?” she asked carefully, and I gave her a smirk, “I guess that was a smart move to apologize.” She laughed at me, and we hugged each other finally okay.“Are you going home now?” she asked me, but I shook my head, “I have to buy the materials needed for the announcement board.” She nodded in understanding, “maybe you’ll see Xander there, he’s the one assigned to buy the materials too.”I don’t know if I want to see him there honestly…We were still a bit awkward around each other, and I don’t know how to approach him and say that we’re cool now.

They are already done eating and Cassiopeia was about to go home when she saw Jade by the balcony, eating her pie. She told Alexander to wait for her and she went to Jade sitting at the vacant seat beside her. “I thought you already went home?” Jade muttered and Cass just shrugged.“I was about to, but then I saw you here enjoying my pie.” She teased Jade and Jade rolled her eyes, “don’t push it, you’re the one who told me to eat it. It would be a waste not to.” She said grabbing another bite.When Alexander and she ate it for dessert, she was surprised it came out good, he loves it and has eaten 2 more slices. “So?” Cassiopeia asked her, expecting Jade to give her a compliment.“Well, it wasn’t salty.” She teased her and Cass let out a grin, “admit it, it’s the best one you’ve ever tasted.” Jade w

“Is that all?” I asked coldly, he turned my chair around to make look at him.He looked so worn out, “I know nothing can make the situation better… I thought I could get her in time for our presentation, but when I saw, Kaia, I panicked… I don’t know what to do with her. I forgot everything and focused on helping her go back to normal.”I closed my eyes in annoyance, I already know what happened and I don’t want to hear his side of the story.“It’s always about her, isn’t it?” I whispered sadly; his eyebrows furrowed in confusion. “What?” I looked at him with a bitter smile, “ever since you’ve met her, it’s Allison this, Allison that. I know we’ve fought but am I that easy to replace?” my voice cracked.“You’ve always turned your attention to her then you forget about me.” My voice was getting softer till the end, I don&rsq

A sob left my mouth after I said that “Kaia? Wait, are you crying? What’s going on?” he asked in concern.I wiped my tears away, “I… they left me alone… I don’t know what to do Jake.” I cried to him and looked back inside the room, and I can see the teacher is already giving feedbacks to the first group.“Wait, Kaia calm down please? Baby calm down.”That made me cry harder, I heard him cursed under his breath and sigh, “Kaia… please listen to me… take a deep breath.” I followed what he said and that made me calm down a bit. After a few minutes, “are you okay now?” he asked gently, and I nodded but I remembered he can’t see me.“Yes…” I said softly, “can you explain what is happening?”So I did, I told him everything that happened today. I heard him cursed and let out a sigh, “Okay, since we don’t know
