The Perfect Thief

  ASTRID TALITHA'S POINT OF VIEW I was awakened as I heard the buzzing sound like a train of the alarm clock on my table, right beside my bed. I tapped its snooze button on the top after a few moments. Since, I forgot to set it last night, later than yesterday, so I have decided to go to school early this morning but end up being late after going back to sleep when I should be taking a bath. My phone abruptly rang as I made my way to our department building. I rummaged in my shoulder bag in order to find my phone. Then, I suddenly bumped into someone whom I failed to notice because of being preoccupied with my phone which was still ringing. "Oh, I'm really sorry." His coffee has been poured onto the jersey he

  KOLTEN ZEDEKIEL'S POINT OF VIEW I was walking into a long hallway going to the third floor just to attend our last class for this day, there were just a few students here, probably most of the class had ended by this time. As I looked around, I noticed the newly painted white walls that somehow made it looks wider than it was. I even saw some students who were standing near the trimmed pinboards that were placed on the left side of this hallway. "Let's have a group study after class!" Luke suggested while standing in front of the class. He always liked the idea of doing a lot of activities together with the whole class which I found so boring. He stopped for a moment at took a glance at me as I entered into a squarish room that was well-maintained. I put down my black backpack in the backseat, right next to Astrid's. "Count me in!" I hardly nudged Orion to stop him as he shouted behind me. I did not know how this guy managed to

  KOLTEN ZEDEKIEL'S POINT OF VIEW I rolled my eyes as I heard someone shouting and closed my door even before Orion got up here. I hastily entered into my bathroom which was actually designed by my Mom, from its fixtures, tile choices, and its exquisite finishing touches. She told me that the minimalist design of it was suiting for me. It was really different from all the bathrooms in our house, since theirs were so luxurious inspired. I saw a pile of white towels that were well-folded. It was probably made by my Mom. I saw the shining shower handles and handsets as I stepped into a sleek glass shower cubicle. Its walk-thru shower was custom-designed to have two sets of shower heads, body jets as well as sprays. I remember how happy Orion was after knowing that it was because Mom was thinking about him as she was plotting a desi

  KOLTEN ZEDEKIEL'S POINT OF VIEW "Before I forgot, what's the punishment?" Orion nudged me after she asked while we were making our way outside the transparent glass door of the restaurant. "I'll go ahead. Astrid, I already put my gift in your room." He placed a kiss on her forehead. "Bro, I'll sleep at your house." He tapped my shoulder before turning his back. "Thanks a lot, Orion. Take care." She waved at him. "Drive carefully, bro. There is nothing, buy something first." He cracked a grin before he nodded. I watched him walk back to his car and get in. He beeped before he drove away.

  ASTRID TALITHA'S POINT OF VIEW "Bro..." There was a tall and masculine guy who walked towards our table and talked to Kolten. "Won't you order anything?" He raised his hand and get the attention of the waiter, who immediately walked in our direction. "No need, bro. I'm with someone." Kolten simply answered and slightly tilted his head in my direction. Then there was a sudden change of expression in his eyes, it seemed like teasing him before turning his eyes on me. Kolten laughed a bit and slightly punch his chest. "Astrid, right?" He laid his hand on me. I looked at Kolten before accepting it. I gave him an inquisitive lo
