Alice's POVWho knew that after what felt like a long time I would be meeting him again? And here of all places?Chris was dressed in his white tennis attire, his right wrist had a red band and his left hand held his racket.On the side, the umpire introduced us the players and went ahead to announce the rules of the final match where the winner will take the trophy.I on the other hand, stared at Chris. Did he even recognize me at all? Would he be glad to see me again?As if he knew what was going on inside my head, Chris raised his racket and pointed it towards the trophy which was seated on a table near the umpire, patiently waiting to be taken by the winner.When my eyes followed his direction and saw the trophy, Chris used his racket once again and pointed to himself.I snorted at the action.This is going to be challenging.The umpire announced Chris as the person who won the coin toss, but instead of serving first as usual, Chris picked me to serve first instead."So you want t
Third person POV6 months laterIn their vast mansion, the dinner room, might as well be the only time this rich family have a good reason to have to have to meet and face each other.It was silent, save for the clinking of cutlery against ceramic plates, the occasional order to the maids to bring or take a way a thing or the other or the sound of food being eaten.The usual sitting was in order, but the silent animosity between them was unparalleled."Grandma," Marissa spoke up. "Although it's only been six months since Zack started working with you at the company, don't you think he is doing really well?""Uhmmm," Grandma nodded as she continued to eat.Marissa looked at Irene with a taunting face, a smirk on her face but was surprised to find that the latter also had a similar expression on."Grandma, you must have heard about the famous Craig Wallstreet, right?" Irene continued without waiting for Grandma to respond. "Chris, through his persistence and flexibility was able to secu
Alice looked around the entrance of the amusement park and immediately spotted Chris' back and blonde hair.She snuck up on him and right when she was about to poke him, Chris turned around and she poked his chest instead.Chris looked at her hand poking his chest and then looked at her with his eyebrows raised. Realizing what had just happened, Alice pulled her finger away and closed her mouth with her hands, her eyes widened."Just how much cuter can you get," Chris wrapped his arms around her as he chuckled."I wanted to surprise you," Alice let out disappointedly."I promise you did," Chris told her. "Good thing you dressed warmly," Chris adjusted the scarf around her neck. "The night air might get chilly on those rides. That is if you don't get spooked out first.""Oh please!" Alice rolled her eyes."I've gotten our tickets. Let's go in now.""The first to scream on the wheel buy all the snacks!" Alice said and the two walked in hand in hand through the gates of the amusement par
Emilia's POVI flipped through the never ending pages, my chest feeling heavy and my frustration increasing with each passing second.I looked up and around the almost empty library.It was almost midnight, so it made sense that that there will be less people right now. Or that was the lie I kept telling myself, when in reality, the reason why the library is more empty than it should be, is because most of my mates have graduated.Only six months ago, I had so much hope I felt like I could shit rainbows. But now I am stuck in this stupid dingy place.Knowing that flipping the page won't get the words into my head, I stood from the chair as I decided to call it quits for the night.The next bar exams in in two weeks luckily, and I plan to pass this time.Trudging my way out, I came out of the library and stood still by the road, looking at the night sky, I realized how late it was.I brought out my phone and scrolled through the contacts before stopping at his name.I pressed dial and
2 weeks laterThird person POVThe ballroom was a majestic space with a high, ornate ceiling and crystal chandeliers that seemed to be made out of jewels. The walls, adorned by tall windows that were draped by opulent curtains, and the floor, a sea of polished marble, reflected the extravagance of the evening.The air was alive with the sweet scent of perfumes, wine and flowers, the soft strains of music coming from the piano, and the hum of conversation, as influential businessmen and business women, wealthy entrepreneurs, and high-society individuals mingled and laughed, their designer gowns, jewels, suits and tuxes spoke volumes of the importance of that night.The atmosphere was electric, filled with the excitement of deals being made, connections being forged, and the thrill of being among the elite.Outside, the evening atmosphere was alive with the flash of cameras from the paparazzi and influencers, all trying their best to take the perfect shot of the rich and famous as they
Rose closed her lipstick and put it back in her purse before turning to face Madeline who had walked up to her. "Long time no see Rose. Who knew we would meet again after so long? You are happy to see me, right?" Madeline smiled brightly. "Depends on your intentions entirely," Rose titled her head to the side. "It's certainly been a long time Madeline. Eleven years if I am correct?" "Eleven years sound like such a long time, but it feels just like yesterday when we clung to each other's arms as we dominated the hallways of our high school," Madeline laughed. "You still think of those times, right? I hear your grandparents passed away not long after we graduated. Are you okay? Must have been devastating. Not having any one of us be there for you. And especially not long after Damian broke your heart," Madeline chuckled. "It was a rough time to go by. But I am more than glad I didn't have any of your fake asses with me. But as you can see, I am doing just fine now. Thank you for
Rose was discussing with Mr. Durant when she raised her head and spotted Zack coming towards her. A smile spread across her lips effortlessly. Zack joined her, standing by her side and Rose immediately linked her arms with his as they continued to talk to Mr. Durant. The night went on, and after a lot of music, food and socializing, it was finally time to go back home and call it a night. "You should come to my place with me. "We should have a few things to discuss between us," Rose suggested to Zack as they got out of the ballroom. "Sure," Zack agreed. "Where should we head to now? Should I drop him off first?" Cade said as Zack and Rose entered the back of the limo. "No. Drop us off at my place," Rose answered. "Yes ma'am," Cade replied, throwing a glance at Zack just as the screen rolled up, making a screen for them. "I could have sworn he glared at me," Zack joked in amusement. "Cade doesn't like the idea of me going home with other guys," Rose laughed. Thinking about how

Third person POVKimberly walked out of her room tying her hair up with a ribbon.She was dressed in a simple flow dressed topped with a jeans jacket with a brown purse slung across her shoulder that matched her brown sandals."Kim, where are you going at this time of night?"
