“… I love you so much. And I want us to be an official couple from this day onwards.”Millie blinked her eyes a few times, after hearing Chandler’s words. The guy already confessed and he wanted them to be an official couple. And though Millie was so sure that she felt the same way for him, she still didn’t want to engage herself and commit herself into a relationship.Like what her brother always reminds her, she was in no way going into a relationship and she was too scared to let people enter her life. But at the back of her mind, she was trying to convince herself that she could trust her life to Chandler.She was still in trance and was on the process of formulating an answer, when suddenly, the tall guy let out a sigh. “I’m sorry, Millie. I shouldn’t be pushing you into this.”“Oh… uh…” She was still lost for words. He probably felt awkward at the moment and that was the last thing she wanted to happen. “You don’t have to apologize Chandler.”The tall guy smiled again, his dimpl
Millie was feet frozen on the ground as soon as she heard Luke saying those words. What is this guy talking about? Why is he saying these things? Her mind just couldn’t handle it any longer.“I know, Millie. You may not remember anything about me, but I will make you remember me again.” Luke held her hand close to his chest. “I hope you won’t push me away. I’m just doing this to protect you because I know better than anyone else here.”Millie couldn’t speak. She wanted to run away from him because the guy was obviously a stranger to her. But something was telling her that she could trust him. There’s this weird feeling of comfort and warmth that she couldn’t exactly point out. And the way this guy looked into her eyes seemed so sincere that she wanted to believe everything he’s saying.“So please, Millie. Just stay here for this time. I promise to bring you back there by tomorrow,” Luke continued to speak.Millie gulped down and nodded her head.Luke smiled at her. “Come on. I’ll take
Millie suddenly heard bells ringing inside her head after Chandler said those words. They weren’t even a couple yet. She hasn’t even answered him yet. And now, he’s suddenly saying those things. And worst… infront of his parents. What was he thinking? It’s not like she didn’t want him back or anything, it’s just that it’s all happening so fast.She hit her head with her hand, as soon as she got back inside their house. She was about to sit on the couch when suddenly, a voice startled her from behind. “Millie, dear, you’re home late.” It was her dad, sitting on the couch.“Dad? When did you get here?” She asked back, taking a seat next to him.“Just now. I’m sorry I had to be out of the country most of the time.” He patted Millie’s head. “By the way, where have you been?”“At Chandler’s, dad.”“You seem rather… annoyed or pissed at something. What happened dear?” Her dad turned to her, waiting for an answer.“Uh…” She gulped down before continuing. “Chandler… said to his parents that h
Everyone's attention turned to the guy who just walked in from the entrance with two guys holding him on his sides. Meanwhile, Millie's eyes almost popped out when she recognized who it was. "Mr. Stranger Guy?""Mr. Who?" Chandler asked her back, who was still down on his knees."Uh... no one,” Millie answered back, watching Mr. Stranger Guy make his way towards the table of the Kramer's."That must be the eldest son,” Millie's dad muttered on their table."Eldest son?" She mumbled back. So, he is a Kramer? Vince and Jane’s brother? Mr. and Mrs. Kramer's son? She shook her head in disbelief. How could their worlds be this small?"You know him, Millie?" Chandler asked her again, now standing up.Millie just shook her head.Then, an emcee from the stage spoke, catching back the attention of the crowd. Chandler groaned from his post. "My proposal is ruined. You haven't even answered me yet."Millie sighed. "I... can just answer you some other time, Chandler."“But, I want this scene to b
ONE thing that Kassandra "Kace" Larson learned in life was to never trust her brother in cooking. Seeing the over six-foot tall guy attempt to flip the egg on the pan infront of her triggered something inside her, but she just let him do his thing as she fixed her long dark hair up in a bun.“We should’ve just ordered something outside, brother,” she commented, not even disguising her lack of excitement for the breakfast.“Don’t even try to comment Kace ‘cause you’re far worse than I am.” Her older brother, Kristoff would always insist to cook, and yet he never made a decent meal ever.Kace nodded in agreement. “Yeah, well you’re not wrong about that. Let’s just grab something to eat while on the way to school, then.”Kris heaved a sigh. “Fine.” Even though Kris wasn’t her full-blooded brother, she appreciated the fact that he would always visit her, despite knowing how much hatred their stepdad had for her. She didn’t want Kris to be stuck in the middle between her and his dad. But,
DURING lunch, Kace and Nix sat on their usual table in the cafeteria. Chester showed up together with the other members of the editorial board, Kenneth Davis, Brandon Bailey and Maximilian King for their emergency meeting.“So, what do we do Chief?” Brandon laid his tray on the table and sat next to her.“I…honestly don’t know,” she answered him with a bothered look.The three guys felt that their EIC was definitely feeling a lot of burden now. They knew how much she wanted to keep the publication alive.“How about we post announcements for applicants on the bulletin boards?” The round-eyed guy, Kenneth suggested.Max narrowed his eyes at him. “We already did that and it will just be ignored, Ken.”“Then do you have any better ideas?” Kenneth turned to the others.They all shook their heads. Just as Kace was about to say something, the door of the cafeteria opened and revealed four guys approaching in a line. Everyone literally stopped and stared as they made their way inside. Starti
CHEM Lab started after the fateful event in the cafeteria. Apparently, everyone in their class saw what happened, which made Kace feel more horrible. She was greatly affected about what happened. Her friends tried to cheer her up, but they didn’t succeed. Chester glanced at Brandon, who looked at Nix who just shrugged her shoulders. “What do we do?” Brandon mouthed his words in silence.Chester lifted his chin and gestured Nix to move towards their friend. “Talk to her,” he whispered.Nix hesitated at first. But she decided to follow him so she stood up and slowly walked over towards Kace’s table. Their professor was busy reading something on his desk so he didn’t notice her standing up from her seat.Kace was busy focusing her microscope so she got startled when she heard her bestfriend beside her speak. “Kace, are you all right?”She nodded without looking at her.“Are you sure?”“Yeah,” she answered quietly.“Don’t think about it too much. Jules is a bitc-“ Before she could even
KACE reached her apartment at around seven in the evening. She stopped by the bookstore earlier to buy some supplements she needed and she roamed around the streets just to get her mind off of the embarrassment she was still feeling. Setting her bag on the couch, her stomach suddenly grumbled. She remembered she still hadn’t eaten dinner yet so she proceeded to the kitchen.As she turned the lights on, a cold face of a guy welcomed her on the counter. “Where have you been, Kassandra? It’s late.” Her brother told her off.Sighing, she flicked the lights on and rummaged on the fridge. “How did you stand sitting here with the lights off?”“That’s not important. So? Where did you go?” Kris asked, still waiting for her answer.“I just went in the bookstore dad,” she emphasized that last part. She always liked to call him that, especially when he was acting like this.Kris chuckled. “Fine. Here. I heard your stomach when you entered.” He pushed the box of pizza on the table.She quickly sn

Luke took a step back as soon as he heard the girl saying those words. “I am not Kace!” His mouth gaped open while trying to process what’s happening infront of him. Was she just pretending? He stared at her for a moment. Nothing changed from her appearance, except maybe for her long, wavy hair which was now hanging loosely down her chest, as opposed to her neatly tied-up hair years ago.Apart from that, he was still seeing the same Kassandra Larson whom he fell in love with. The bold and witty girl with kick-ass taekwondo skills was standing infront of him, only now, that girl didn’t recognize him. Is she pretending not to know me? He wanted to blurt out, but this was definitely not just some silly joke anymore.“Millie! Millie! Is that you?” Luke heard a voice coming from a distance. It must be Chandler already, he thought. But, why is he calling her Millie?Luke looked at the girl infront of him again and he could see how scared she was after what he did. He noticed her hands trem
Millie felt exhausted after dancing to almost all of her friends that night. She specifically told them that she didn’t want to dance, but everyone was just so stubborn especially Chandler, who basically spent all his time dancing with her. She sat next to Brandon on their table as soon as she finished dancing with her brother, who was kind enough to reprimand Chandler from asking her to dance again.“Millie… I haven’t danced with you yet.” Brandon hissed beside her.She turned to face him and saw that the guy was already on high with alcohol. “Brandon, I think you need to rest now.”The guy shook his head, as he grabbed another glass of alcohol on the table. He was about to drink it up, but Millie was just in time to stop him. “Hey! I’m still drinking, Millie!” He yelled at her, causing the others to look towards their table.Chandler and Kris quickly ran towards them and stopped Brandon from raging. “Brandon, that’s enough for now. You need to go to your room.” Kris said, placing an
“Good morning, sleepyhead!” Millie heard someone speaking from her subconscious, but she just ignored it. “Time to wake up!” She was continuously hearing a voice beside her. She rolled on her bed and groped for a pillow to cover her ears. “Mil, wake up! We need to go now!We need to go where? She forced her eyes to open upon hearing that last statement. Her brother was frowning and waiting for her to stand up. “W-Where are we going at this hour?” She asked, yawning.Kris sighed. “Chandler called and said that we’re going on a trip.”“A… a what??” Millie straightened up from her bed and stared at her brother in confusion.“They’ll be here in a few minutes so better hurry up.” Kris messed her hair up before stepping out of the room.Meanwhile, Millie still didn’t move from her seat, trying to process what her brother just said. A trip? Why are they suddenly arranging something out of the blue? She shook her head in frustration and dragged her feet out of the bed to fix herself.Few min
Millie couldn’t keep still from her seat even after they already left the Golf Center. She was so sure that she saw that guy looking right at her. He was wearing a black leather jacket with a cap on his head. She wasn’t able to see his face because he was wearing a facemask. The only visible part were his eyes which were boring into hers, making her feel like she was being threatened.She sighed inwardly, trying to remove the anxiety she was feeling inside. Whoever was that person, she just hoped that she wouldn’t ever see him again in the future. Moments later, she decided to just busy herself looking outside the car window and admire the spots outside the city.“Where do you wanna eat?” Their dad asked the two who were both quiet the whole ride.“Mil, where do you wanna go?” Kris turned to her.Millie just shrugged. She wasn’t really in the mood to eat at that moment. If only she could just tell them that...“Okay, let’s just go eat somewhere.” Their dad smiled. Just then, his phone
Millie sat uneasily at the back of the van together with her friends (as what they claimed their selves to be). She was still really feeling anxious meeting them cause in her eyes, they were all still strangers to her no matter how much she tried to convince herself to be comfortable around them.She heaved a deep sigh, watching the other guys bicker at each other inside the van causing a commotion which seemed to be a natural thing for them already. She wasn’t used to any of these. She was happier being alone and quiet. She didn’t realize that she’d be facing these kinds of people when she got to Florida.“Chief…” Someone called her from behind, startling her a bit.When she turned around, she saw Chester smiling at her. “Uh… y-yeah?” She answered with uncertainty.“You want one?” He offered her a yoghurt.“Uh… no. Thank you.” She said to him, causing the guy to crease his brows in discontent.“Did your appetite change as well? You never turn down snacks like this, or any food for th
