Just then, Xander passed by us without a glance in our direction.
I looked back at Jake and let out a disappointed sigh, "class ended up late, and I forgot to bring my umbrella and was hoping someone I know would come to my rescue." I joked while looking at Xander's back who's already far.
Realization crosses on Jake's face as he followed my gaze, "oh, is Xander's... does he... dang, I'm so stupid." he muttered with his head hung low.
Somehow, I felt guilty so I nudged him on his side. "Hey, what are you talking about? I was just joking, but seriously I forgot my umbrella. Just incase you have one, maybe I could borrow it so I won't get wet in the rain." I said grinning at him innocently.
He shook his head and grinned b

A pounding headache woke me up and I groaned, I looked at the room I'm in, and I noticed I'm at the clinic. A nurse went to me to check my temperature, I remembered losing my consciousness and heard someone calling my name."Uh, excuse me miss... did someone brought me here?" I asked the nurse after she finished checking up on me."Yeah, a guy brought you here. He stayed a bit long, but he has a class to attend to so he left."My heart beats faster, it was Xander, I'm sure of it."Your fever went down a bit, but you should give it a rest first. I'll give you a pass from your subjects so you could go home already." Well so much for going to school for the quiz, I didn't even get to take it.After she gave me the pass, I gathered my things and leave the room.I was surprised to see Xander walking outside the hallway, he was walking towards my direction, but when he saw me, he stopped in his tracks.We stared at each other for awhi

I went inside the house and saw Kayla waiting at the living room. “Did you see Xander? He’s been waiting there outside.”I shrugged as all my energy was drained again, interacting with Xander can be pretty tiring. “Why didn’t you let him in? and where did you go?” she sure has a lot of questions. I rolled my eyes at her, “why do you care? Don’t you have a party to attend to?”She sat beside me with a sigh, “I was just worried about you… you’re sick and I just panicked when I knew you weren’t with Xander.”I realized that I acted like a bitch and turned my anger from Xander to her.“I’m sorry…” I mumbled putting my face in my hands, “I’m fine… I’m with my friend Jake, and can you stop mentioning Xander’s name? I don’t want to think about him for a while…” she removed my hands to take a good look at

I quickly snapped back to my senses, “Uh… I’m sorry, I wasn’t looking to where I was going.” I apologized and she gave me a smile, “no worries, we’re both fine anyways. I’m Allison by the way.” She held out her hand for me to shake, I was about to say something when Xander arrived.“Hey, are you okay?” he asked, and I don’t know if he was pertaining to me or Allison, but I realized he was talking to her when he looked at her direction.I had never been this hurt, for all those years I’m friends with him, I was the only one he was ever concerned about. Asking her like that in front of me really hurts big time.“I’m alright, I just bumped into her. No worries, we’re fine.”When she pointed at me, that’s when Xander just noticed that I was there, and his eyes widened. “Hey… uh…” he stuttered as he doesn’t know what to s

Cassiopeia couldn't resist to squeal, and she hugged Alexander, Paramore is her favoriteband and is very popular. She knew they’re going to have a concert, but she also knew many people would want to go and that it will be sold out once the ticket was available.Alexander doesn’t like their songs, so she didn’t ask him about it, but now that he told her the news, “how did you managed to get those? And I thought you don’t like Paramore?”He shrugged, it’s true that he’s not a fan of their songs, as he prefers classical ones, but he wanted her to experience this, he knows how much she loves them and their songs, so the moment they announced the concert, he waited patiently and fought through a bunch of their fans and thankfully, he secured two tickets for both.After that, they decided to talk about the book Alexander brought, it was ‘Tuesdays with Morrie’ and turns ou

I blinked my eyes quickly at our close proximity, then I pushed him away blushing.“Oh shut Jake just drive, the greenlight is on.” I said while looking out the window.“You’re cute when you’re flustered.” He said with a chuckle, “Jake… you know I like Xander.”He gave me a soft smile, “I already know that Kaia, but I’m here too… even just as a friend.” I’m really thankful for him always, I don’t want him to think that I’m using him as a rebound of Xander, so I always remind him that I only think of him as a close friend.We arrived at a diner, and I grinned as I craved for some burgers and fries again, “so why did you decide to invite me to eat dinner with you?” I asked him as we sat down by the windows.“I just had this weird feeling that you’re in need of help, so I asked you out to save you.” He joked and that earned him

The first song was ‘That’s What You Get’ and that put everyone in the mood and shouted in glee including me.I haven’t attended any concert ever in my whole life and I only saw this online, I’m not a fan of Paramore but I listen to their songs, so I’ve chosen them in my story. Maybe this concert would turn me into a fan.After the first song, their vocalist I’ve known as Hayley Williams introduced the band and I felt the urge to pee, so I searched for the bathroom while waiting for the next song.I found the stalls and all of it are occupied, so I waited.One opened and I was surprised to see Cassiopeia, “Omg I didn’t know you’re a fan of Paramore.” She said in surprise, and I gave her an awkward smile. “I’ll explain later, I just really need to pee. Wait for me, I’ll be fast.” I said and quickly did my business.When I was done, I was relieved to see

When he got settled beside Allison and everyone got food, she turned back to me. “So, who is this guy?” I looked at Xander nervously and he raised an eyebrow at me.Clearly, he heard everything I said.“Uh, no he’s not from here, you don’t know him anyway.” I said drinking the strawberry milk he bought me.It was very nostalgic for me, as he always bought me this during lunch time. I don’t even drink this before he started giving it to me, but I’ve grown to love it.“Are you okay with only that?” Allison asked, pointing at my drink, “yep, it’s my favorite. I told you, I already ate at the bleachers a while ago.” She nodded and gave Xander a pat on his shoulder, “wow, you got her favorite drink right.”Xander and I looked at each other and I rolled my eyes at him, “he must have seen me drink it a million times. In this school, everyone knows everybody.&rd

Ever since Alexander walked out on her, Cassiopeia can’t help but cry. She cried the whole night, and it was the first time he was that mad at her.She gets his point, but she wanted to explain to him her side and what she wanted to do with her life.She feels like there’s so little time left of her, she wanted him to know that she already accepted her fate. Now, she doesn’t know what to think and do anymore.Alexander was mad at her now…She knew she must apologize to him. She wiped her tears away before letting out a sigh, she has to apologize now. Time is very important for her so she wouldn’t waste another minute weeping. She took a bath and fixed herself, before deciding to bake some cookies. She wanted to give some for him as a sorry gift. She watched video tutorials on how to make the cookies and she didn’t think that it would be very hard.

We 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

“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
