Chapter 24: Siblings Based on what Fern called this boy Fiat, I think this is his brother, then we immediately ran to their house. I just follow them wherever they go. Every road is crowded and the houses are really close together so it's noisy. Various odors also spread such as the smell of cigarettes, alcohol, dishes or spoiled cooking utensils, as well as detergents everywhere. We stopped running until we came to a door. Fern immediately opened the door that I think was their house when… "Surprise! Happy birthday, brother!" We were stunned and I looked at Fiat as well as, I think this is Fluke. His siblings are a girl and a boy. "Fiat said you fainted---" Fern said when her sister Fluke approached him. "It's a prank, brother! We just want to surprise you on your birthday!" she says happily. I was surprised at what she said. So, it's really Fern's birthday today? I do not know! I didn't greet him earlier! "It's a good thing you left, brother. It's like we can prepare a surpri
Chapter 25: Good night I looked at the time on my phone. Shocks. It's already 8 o'clock in the evening! I didn’t realize the time because of my interest in teaching Fluke and Fiat. I stood up and looked at Fern. "Fern, I need to go home." The two turned to me. "Oh, are you coming home now sister?" Fluke asked and I just nodded. Fern flinched. "I didn't even realize the time!" I just laughed. "Maybe Mommy G is worried about me. I should have gone home before dark. I didn't keep the promise. I enjoyed teaching your siblings ..." "Sister, are you going to come back here next time?" Fiat asked. I smiled. "Of course. I can't help it for sure. I will miss your jokes." I said and ruffled their hair. "Hey, I'll take you first. I can't help it because I told your Mommy G that I'll take you home. I don't want you to get hurt again and it's easy for the tricycle drivers in this street to have their tricks on you. There are a lot of crazy people here with us." said Fern and turned to her
Chapter 26: Snatcher ‘Let’s meet at the mall. In front of the bookstore. We just finished our class today. It's a little early so we're just waiting for the permission for us to go home and leave the university.’ I smiled when I received Sera's text message. I immediately typed. 'All right, I'm leaving. Take care.' I got up and immediately dressed in the CR. I went downstairs and told Mommy G that I would meet Sera at the mall. She hugged me and bid goodbye. She wanted me to take some cookies before leaving but I just ate one while walking to the gate of the subdivision. I immediately called a jeep to ride to the mall. Actually, earlier, I chatted with Fern and he invited me to their house again. His siblings said they missed me and wanted me to teach them on their assignments again. Gosh, they're really smart already so I don't have to teach them anymore. I can't even remember their other topics because my brain is really rusting. Fortunately, Fern is helping. I declined Fern’s
Chapter 27: Sweet "It's weird to know that your Patry punched a man in the mall." I kicked him. "Hey, tone down your voice there. Maybe someone who knows him will hear you here and let the gossip spread out… making Patry be famous. You know that the speed of gossip is like a flying newspaper now.” I said and he just scratched his head. "Why did he go to the mall?" he asked. I shrugged. "He told us that his laptop’s mouse was broken.” "Did he buy one?" I shook my head. "No, because he seems to have seen us." "So, he followed?" I nodded. "Is that even for real? Like a real reason? He really is a stalker. I don't really believe in his tactics anymore." I thought about it. "Is it reasonable?" "Maybe he likes you so he followed you?" I frowned. "Impossible. I don't like that topic anymore; I'm really tired of his tripping." I said and laid on my seat. I looked at my watch. It's only 5 minutes and we need to go to the faculty to take a special quiz on Entrepreneurship. It was re
Chapter 28: After all "Have you heard?" I turned to Sera who had just changed her clothes. She just came home from university, while I came home earlier. Our section is done planning regarding what to do at the Christmas Party and on that Monday will take place. The day is really fast and it will be Christmas again. "What is it?" I asked her and stopped typing on my laptop. I'm looking for a good site for an electronic signature that I will pass on to Peak for the magazine. Sera stood next to me and lay down on the bed. "The one who bullied you at the canteen has been dropped out from the university.” I gasped at what I found out. "EH? Sophia?" In the tone of my voice, my cat woke up from sleeping on the mattress. It approached me and leaned on my arm. My sweet Pat. She nodded. "I heard that she’s a mayor’s daughter. Her parents were angry when they found out what happened to her and even more so when they found out what she was doing and going crazy about Patry. She seemed to be
Chapter 29: Christmas Party "What's up? Why are there so many booths?" feeling astonished I asked Fern when I stepped foot in the university. We are just here at the gate and have just entered. Actually, I was the only one who just entered because Fern was just waiting for me here at the gate. What I'm wearing now is a dress, which is what Mommy G chose for me to wear for this party and sandals with low heels. I'm comfortable because the dress isn't revealing, it has sleeves and it looks like the trendy one with a beautiful design. The skirt is even wavy and the color is beige. Just like my type so I was happy to see what she bought for me. I was about to pay for it when Mommy G said it was just a gift for me this Christmas. I slapped my own forehead by what she said because I knew she just wanted to buy me clothes and she didn't really want me to pay for it. Fern, who's next to me, is very handsome in his polo shirt with two open buttons on the front, maong pants that just fitted h
Chapter 30: My queen "AAAAAAAH! GRADE 12!" "GRADE 10! GRADE 10!" "GRADE 11 WILL WIN THIS YEAR!" "Why do you keep on cheering other representatives of other grade levels? YOU SHOULD CHEER GRADE 12, NOT GRADE 10!" "I'm sorry we forgot! Hahaha! Don't shout there! We're just next to you!" "You are a traitor!" I almost frowned at what I heard. We are here inside the gymnasium and we are surrounded by GRADE 10, 11, and 12 supporters of those chosen to model and participate in the pageant. Can’t really avoid the shouts surrounding the gym! I'm just laughing because even our other batchmates here continue to cheer at other grade levels instead of our own representative. By the way, we weren't with Fern today because he chose to go there with her club mates to help sell desserts. He said that Fleur would give him a salary for helping with their booth, talking about his annoying girl. Therefore, he grabbed that opportunity. He said he will come to the gym later when they run out of goods
Chapter 31: Sleeping beauty I woke up with a feeling that my eyelids were heavy. My vision was blurred until it became clear and I was surprised at what I saw. "Mom ... Dad.." My eyes watered and I couldn't help but hug them. "I miss you ... why did you come so late?" "I'm sorry, Kira ... if only we were here that early and we didn’t put our business first." I cried even more when I heard that Mom was already crying as she hugged me. They let go of me and I could also see the sadness in their eyes. "Is it too early for you to return here to the Philippines? You said you will come home on 23. I'm sorry I didn't pick you up at the airport." I apologized. Dad cleared his throat, "We called your number but someone else answered. Sera answered and told us what happened to you at school." "What's wrong with you here, Kira? They've been bullying you for a long time?" Mom asked. I averted my eyes and looked around. "Is this our house?" I just asked. "Yes. Your Dad moved you here when w
