Giancarlo turned to leave.
Claire panicked.
“Hey! Where are you going?!” She cried.
“Shut up!” Giancarlo was too frustrated to even think of consoling her.
In the first place, Claire had no chance with Keenan anyway. The guy had a superior background even before he was born. Claire was only a common person. She only had delusions that she had a chance with him.
Unlike with Dawn, Giancarlo thought that he had a higher chance to be with her. They had a past together, even just as childhood friends. They were also neighbors and they have recently rekindled their connection.

Moments later, an arm snaked under the blanket.A hand touched her abdomen.Warmth seeped in.Her eyes flew upon. Her breath hitched. She covered her mouth, not wanting to wake him up.She could still hear his even breaths.He was still asleep.Moments later, she felt his hand crawl inside her shirt.Her eyes bulged.‘Uh-oh..’ She had a strange feeling about this.He pulled her closer to him. It was then she f
Keenan took Dawn home before the sun had set.At home, Dawn checked her laptop for any more updates.There were a few e-mails from Wordsmith Literature. They let her know that the books have been delivered in the bookstores and would begin selling on the 23rd.Anyone who wanted to purchase it could have it just in time for Christmas.Usually, it’s not advisable to publish a book during Christmas since people are busy with Christmas events.It would not be ideal especially if it’s an author’s first book.However, Dawn and Wordsmith Literature are confident that her book wouldn&rsqu
Dawn wondered what was the purpose of Claire’s visit. She then remembered that Claire called her earlier.She went out of her room and met her outside. To her surprise, instead of a smile, she was greeted with Claire’s brows pulled together and her lips pursed tight.“Everything alright, Claire?” She asked, her brows now pulled together as well.The other scoffed and looked the other way.Dawn’s frown deepened. ‘Did I do something wrong?’“Are you okay?”Claire seethed in anger.“
Like what Dawn has said to Claire, she can ask Keenan for his phone number herself.Keenan was now sitting beside her in the pew as they attended the evening mass.The church was packed but Claire made sure to sit close to Keenan. Even if it meant, behind him.Dawn was more quiet than usual, making Keenan wonder what had put her in a bad mood. When he arrived earlier to pick her up, she acted as she usually did with him. But once they arrived in the pew, her mood changed. Her lips were pursed and she barely talked to him.After the mass, he followed her and her family out.“Keenan!”He
Linus was surprised when he was told by his mother that they would be celebrating Christmas at another place. He had wanted to bring his family right after his kids’ classes ended but Amaya said she wanted to spend time with her side of the family. So he relented and went with her, with the promise that at least on Christmas eve, they would be spending it with his side of the family. However, he and Amaya got into an argument which then led to her saying that she didn’t want to go to his family on that day. She then brought up other issues which have dampened the mood. Linus had to tell Estela that they wouldn’t be coming for Christmas eve but would try to show up the next day or on New Year’s eve. He was ho
Janus and his siblings were also at ease. They thought that they would feel alienated since they were with adults.However, Keenan’s family was very welcoming. They would even inquire about things that interest them and would even give them encouragement.Dawn’s family could see that Dawn was treated well by Keenan’s family.The two families enjoyed their first joint Christmas dinner.Linus was originally sad that his own family was not with him, but he was distracted by the conversation he’s having with Keenan’s father and uncle, and also his own brother-in-law, Oscar.Linus and Oscar were not particularly close. It was not be
If it was up to Keenan, he would also spend the New Year’s with Dawn.But since it is a family tradition to spend the New Year together in their own home, he couldn’t leave. When he told Dawn about this, Dawn laughed at how similar their families traditions are.After the mass, she was expected to be home as well.Giancarlo noticed that Dawn was with her family only this time. Keenan was not with them. He wondered if Keenan got tired of hanging out with Dawn.He wanted to make his move but because there were too many people in church, he quickly lost sight of her.Claire noticed that Keenan was not with Dawn as well. Though she still wanted to c
The days went by with the students taking their regular classes and spending an hour of dance practice each day for the Junior-Senior prom.Third year and Fourth Year students would be partnered with each other. Those who have wanted to dance with Keenan could only wait for him to offer to dance with them or if they were brave enough, they could take initiative to invite him.Previously, Susana instructed the students to line up according to their height. Two lines for the girls, the Senior and Juniors separated. The same went for the boys.She then asked the boys to stand next to the girls. A Senior boy would be partnered with a Junior girl. And a Senior girl would be partnered with a Junior boy.At this moment, Da
