In all honesty, Rhianne has zero knowledge when it comes to dating and romance. All the things she knows in this field all came from the romance books and stories online she read before. All those books gave her a small idea about the concept as well as the process of dating between two people. Still, it is not enough for her to truly understand it emotionally.
Rhianne is still struggling when it comes to dating. There is still a shadow in her heart that gives birth to a mentality that makes her think no one will ever want to date her. Thinking about it, Rhianne died single and had no boyfriend since birth in her past life. No one also attempted to approach her or show any romantic interest in her.
She is not pretty and charismatic to be approached by men of her age in her past life. She is just that invisible girl in the background who always watched her peers getting in love and lovey-dovey with each other.
Still, she believes her obliviousness lessened
"Keith, are you now okay?" Rhianne asked as she gently rubbed his back while offering him a bottle of water.But Keith's only response to her is a hum. He is also giving his chest a little massage to soothe the pain he felt earlier in the ice cream shop. He will never forget this day when an ice cream almost ended his life."Rhianne." Keith called her name in a low voice."Yes?""Please stop making me surprised while we are eating."Keith did not know whether he will be lucky to survive next time or not.But of course, he is just exaggerating. But being the receiving end of her confession while a spoonful of ice cream is in his mouth will cause his early death. It was really unexpected and she just said those words out of nowhere. Can anyone blame him if he acted like that when the girl he likes suddenly said those ambiguous words?They are now at the park located b
Keith is feeling mad.Really, really mad.But not to Rhianne. He can never get mad at her. Keith has no reason to get mad at the girl he likes.As for his brother? Keith will not hesitate to burn his precious medical books just to vent his anger and irritation towards him. It seems like his brother exists in this world just to make his life harder than normal.They are now inside his brother's car. Keith is the only one sitting at the back while Rhianne occupied the passenger seat. It was his brother's idea. When they entered his car, Calvin complained that someone should sit on the passenger seat because he is not willing to take the role of their driver tonight. Rhianne probably got tired of his complaints so she took the initiative to occupy the seat next to his abnormal brother. Keith tried to exchange seats with Rhianne but Calvin complained again that he does not want to be seated next to him. Right now, the four-meter st
"Seeing you smiling like that, it looks like you had a good date with Rhianne. Right, Keith?""You bet.""Oh, wow. That's a nice smile. No wonder the freshmen girls we met in the corridor cannot take their eyes off you."Keith ignored Hansel and continued walking back to their classroom. He is in good mood today. He has been like this since his last date with Rhianne. Keith even thinks he can finish their long quiz later in just a few minutes.Although his brother tried to ruin his date, all of the negative thoughts inside his head at that time had disappeared when Rhianne kissed him on his cheeks. That was the first time she initiated such intimacy with him. The closest she did before that kiss was holding hands which is already a common thing for them.It was just a kiss on his cheeks, but that is enough to make Keith feel like he is floating in the clouds. He remembered his brother me
Rhianne is in a good mood when she wakes up. Her mother cooked her favorite chocolate pancakes and topped them with fresh strawberries and chocolate whip cream. The look that Francis gave to her is full of silent criticism on the number of sweets she consumes every day. But Rhianne pretended she did not notice his gaze and proceed on enjoying her sweet breakfast.Her father announced that he drives her to their school today. He mentioned their meeting location today is near their school so he decided to give her a ride and that they can spend more time together. Rhianne knows that her father is busy lately because he is trying to expand their business abroad this year. This will be the last huge project her father will handle for their company before he prepares to pass it on to her brother.Tim is planning to retire as the CEO of their company next year and he will pass all of his work to Francis. Although he is still in his prime and can sti
Rhianne is humming the happy tune she once heard from a TV commercial beside her father who is reviewing the documents he will be needing later in their meeting. Aside from it, Rhianne is also busy texting with her friends right now. Candice sends her a message just now since she is on a break in her morning work at the cafe near their school. She first told Rhianne that today is her mother's first work in the Welfare Agency as their new head cook.Candice also happily shared to Rhianne that her mother has already received her new uniform and she is loving it too much. Thinking about it, Rhianne forgot to ask her mother about it earlier because of her brother who keeps on nagging first thing in the morning. After a few replies, Candice told Rhianne that her mother prepared a special dessert for the children in the Welfare Agency today as a celebration of her new work. She also said to meet her at the cafeteria because her mother packed a special dessert that they can shar
Rhianne did not go straight to her classroom after she entered the gates. Keith informed her that he is just finding a parking space and asked if she can wait for him at the waiting shed. Of course, she agreed to it. But Rhianne did not wait that long since she had already seen Keith walking in her direction.He is just wearing simple clothes today, but Rhianne suddenly finds him more handsome than before. She can't help but stare at him more as he slowly removes his shades. And when he sees her, a handsome smile suddenly appeared on his lips.'Is it just me or Keith's charisma is slowly turning into a fatal weapon for women's hearts?'Rhianne waves her hands to greet him. His eyes quickly travel to her wrist which is adorned with the charm bracelet that he gave to her as a gift. Seeing Rhianne wearing it made his mood become better this morning. Impatient to be with her again, Keith decided to quicken his steps until he arrives in
"Did you know? I heard we have a new student this year? And it's a girl!""Really? In the middle of our semester?""Yeah. I heard from my trusted source that she is a friend of our school dean that is why they allow her to transfer and study in our school.""Talking about connection, huh? So what course is going to take?""Same with us. She is also taking Mass Communication.""Oh, I see. Hmm? Rhianne, are you still with us? You look so dazed just now.""Huh? Ah... I am just a bit sleepy since I finished our individual project last night.""Ugh! That one! I don't think our professor will like mine."Rhianne pretends that she is listening to her classmates although she barely heard what they are talking about just now. Instead of listening to her friends in class, she still cannot focus because the image of Keith while blushing earlier keeps on poppin
Two days have already passed since Donna becomes a new student in their school. But Rhianne's days still remain the same after that. Donna did not try to talk or approach her this time unlike in the past. It seems like Rhianne is just overthinking ever since she met her again.Donna Delgado can be considered as a side character who also contributed to Rhianne Cartel's misfortune in the past. That's why when Rhianne first met her when they were still kids, she was so wary of her. When Donna discovered that Rhianne comes from a rich family, she suddenly made a lot of ridiculous requests from her such as buying the latest items made by the famous brands in their city.Rhianne felt so uncomfortable with Donna because of her requests. Then all of a sudden, they just heard that Donna transferred to another school. That really made Rhianne to let out a huge relief. Soon, she discovered from Dr. Calvin that it was him who made all those troubles.
"For our success, cheers!""Cheers!"Rhianne, together with Keith, Candice, Andrew, and their families, clink their glasses together and give themselves a toast. The soft clinking sounds of glasses can be heard inside the party hall they rented for tonight. Happiness is evident on their faces.Tonight, they are having a graduation party with their loved ones. Rhianne, Keith, and Candice had finally graduated from college with flying colors. As for Andrew, his graduation will be next week but they decided to celebrate its advance. It's because Andrew's professor at his university informed him that he's the one who got the highest mark in their class.Similar to him, the three other graduates tonight are also the students who got the highest grading mark in their courses. When Rhianne heard it for the first time, she can't help but shed a few happy tears. The Cartel family is naturally proud of their little princess. All of her hard work has paid off.It is also the same with the Lances

When Donna woke up, the things she saw in her dreams were still vivid in her head. Donna can remember even the smallest details from that dream. It was as if she experienced it herself. But of course, that would be impossible since Donna was only fifteen when she saw all of it.But her dreams led her to believe that all of them were true. It is because of Rhianne Cartel and Keith Lancester. Aside from the fact that she saw both of them in her dreams, Donna had also met them in her previous school. Although they act differently in reality, Donna knows they are still the same people in her dreams.But she frowned after remembering that this man named Andrew Gartin was not staying close to Rhianne Cartel. When she was still her classmate, Donna heard from the class that Andrew Gartin transferred to a school abroad. It was said he will be staying there until he graduates. That information alone made her feel more suspicious if her dreams are indeed prophetic or not. Donna remembered that
It is already dark and the lamps around the park are now giving light to their surroundings. The people who visited this place are starting to leave one by one. Still, there is a certain person who hasn't left the park yet. Donna remains in the same spot where Andrew left her earlier. Her eyes are unfocused and she looks lost right now. Donna ignores the soreness she feels on her legs and waist as her mind tries to replay the conversation she had with Andrew earlier.'Enough! Stop speaking nonsense to me!''I suggest that you should wake up now.''This is the reality.'Donna closes her eyes tightly and thinks about where did it go wrong. Or rather, when did it start? This is not what is supposed to happen. These things did not appear in her dreams.Yes, dreams. It may sound silly to others, but Donna completely believes in the things she saw in her dreams. Donna truly believes she can see the near future in her dreams. It is because of the people she met in it as well as the possible
Soon, Donna brings Andrew to a quiet place away from the park where the others are gathering. Andrew feels confused and skeptical about this woman but he did not yet voice out his thoughts. He decided to wait for what does she needs from him. Soon, Donna turns around and gives him a smile."I think this distance is enough for us to talk. No one can hear us from here." Andrew heard her say."Huh?"In an instant, Donna's expression changed. Although she is still smiling, but it is no longer polite and kind. Instead, she is looking at him with a confident smile on her lips."So Andrew, what were you planning to do now?" Donna asked."...What?" Andrew asked her late."Oh, please. Stop pretending, Andrew. I know that you can also remember everything.""..."Andrew gives Donna a weird look. Keith had already warned him about the woman yesterday. Keith told him that Donna looks suspicious and he doesn't want her approaching Rhianne a lot. He also shared with him the story of how Donna tried
"Please don't leave me...""Karl, I need to go.""Then what about me?! Are you going to leave me? Just like that?! Catherine, you know how much I love you.""But it's not enough!""...What?""It's not enough, Karl. Love is never enough in this world. You should know that.""Catherine, I can't understand. Why—""Is love enough to feed us in the future? Is it enough to make this world move on its axis? Is love enough to make all things better? Is it the only thing we need?!"Karl tries to open his mouth to speak but he doesn't know what to say. "You can't say anything, right? It's because you know that I have a point.""Catherine, I will—""Enough with your promises, Karl! I'm so tired of it." He looks at the woman in front of him. Karl wants to touch and hug her. He wants to tell Catherine that everything is gonna be alright. But he also knows that it is something that she didn't want right now. "Karl, you know that I love you so much. You should know how much I truly care for you.
"Andrew, you really surprised me! I did not expect that you would be back today.""That is my intention. And besides, I already told you that I'm going to have a vacation here in our city for a few weeks, right?""You should have told us your schedule so Keith and I can fetch you at the airport.""You are missing the point here, Rhianne. If I told you my flight schedule, then my surprise would be a total failure.""Hmm, alright. You win now.""That's more like it, Little Auntie Rhianne.""Hey!"Rhianne is really happy to see Andrew again. It has been a long time since they saw each other like this. Although they always communicate through video calls, emails, and voice calls, nothing can still beat seeing your friend up close like this. To her happiness, Rhianne can't help but give Andrew another hug."I really miss you, Andrew!" Rhianne said with a smile."Well, this is nice. I feel so welcome now." Andrew joked as he returned her hug. "And yes. I miss you too, Rhianne."After their
"Is it really okay?" "Hmm... I think so." "But what if that woman tries to sabotage your project?" "Then Donna is also sabotaging her own grades. We're groupmates, after all." "What if she put all of the blame on you? You are the group leader of your group, right?""I think she's not that bad. And besides, we have our own things to do for our project to become successful." Candice just looks at her friend who looks so carefree right now while eating her pizza. They are spending their time break together in the cafeteria. Keith will not be joining them today because he has a long examination today in one of his major subjects. While Candice is busy cleaning the tupperware where her mother put the food she brought for Rhianne, she mentioned that her class will be having a group project and it will be submitted by next week. Their group project can be called as easy to make. Their class was divided into five groups.
"Rhianne!" Turning around, Rhianne sees Keith rushing towards her. When he finally reached her, Keith suddenly put his hands on her shoulders and starts looking at her from head to toe. He even moves her body from side to side as if looking for something. Soon, Keith let out a relieved sigh before looking at Rhianne who has a confused look on her face."What is it?" Rhianne asked. "Did something happen?""Rhianne, are you alright?" Keith asked instead of answering her question."Yes. Why? Do I look like sick to you?" Instead of answering, Keith just let out another relieved sigh before he tries controlling his breathing. "Are you done tossing and spinning Rhianne like a life-sized doll?"Both Rhianne and Keith look at Candice who is standing beside them with crossed arms. Candice shakes her head before gently pulling Rhianne towards her. She is now thinking that it was wrong of her to send a text message
