Chapter 36: Good Pair "Shouldn't what we're talking about now is the upcoming exam again next month? Seriously?" I shuddered to say to Fern as I continued to sip my Chucksy drink. He just laughed and just shook his head. "What else can we expect? Of course, they'd rather talk about events than be stressed with exams. You should get used to it." It's the new year again and the Holiday Break is over. The bulletin board announced the upcoming examination days to be held in the first week of February. If we were to assess what happened earlier, our teachers obviously speed up the discussions. No matter what happens and without our will to it, two to four lessons will be covered for the exams. At the end of January, there will be plenty of quizzes again. It was as if we were under stress again after the holidays. But that stress seems to be gone because the students' minds are not on the exams because next month is everyone's long -awaited event. Nothing but Valentine’s Day. It was anoth
Chapter 37: Only "Gosh! The torture of exams is so bad, isn't it? It's like we're going to be killed after enjoying life." While Sera was complaining next to me, I just distracted myself with the cupcakes baked by Mommy G. We had no choice in what was going on. Study, eat, sleep, wake up again. Fortunately, I also finished reviewing and I had nothing to do but eat. Speed really is the thing of the day. First of February and exams tomorrow. We were really showered with quizzes and recitations these past few days. Nothing can stop what is happening, it’ll be over. "By the way, K…" I looked at Sera who was now watching a movie on her laptop. Looks like she's done reviewing as well. "Why? Oh, cupcakes ..." I said and she took what I offered. "On Valentine's Day, what do you plan?" "Plan? Hmmm ..." I think of it. I really haven't thought about it yet. "I'm going to guard a booth that day. Isn't that just one day? Then we won't be having classes the next day? Do you want us to go to t
Chapter 38: Dream "I'll surrender to you in the jail booth so we can be together tomorrow." I rolled my eyes at what Fern had said. Here we go again. He has no other option but to lock himself in the jail booth even in a nonsense way. By the way, I’ve asked our President about the booth and it’s the jail booth I will be guarding. How come that I forgot about that so easily? And now is the orientation for the event. The programs to be held tomorrow are explained by our President in front. Yes, Valentine's Day is tomorrow. "How many times have you said that? Stay away from me first, I'm still a little overwhelmed because of exams." I complained, massaging my temple. He laughed. "I'm sorry. Are you that tired?" I nodded emotionally. "There's not even a break for a day? The event is really tomorrow?" He looked at me and seemed to be sympathetic. "Yeah, they should have announced a break for at least one day. It's time for us to take a break from exams. However, it's only for this ye
Chapter 39: Eh?! "Hey, Kira .." I was taken back in the present when Boom poked me. He frowned at me and was obviously annoyed with me. What did I do here to make him look at me like that? "Why are you stunned there? Wake up! Maybe our captives can escape here." he scolded me so I just pouted. "Is there no one to redeem them? Or do they just really not want to pay?" I still complain while looking at the faces of these lower years. Ghad! Not even wearing an I.D., are they lazy? It's noon and it's really late that we set up the booth but how many did we still catch? This many! "I'm going to pay for Sanchez!" I looked at the girl who shouted who was now looking at the guy inside the cage we had made. The woman paid the fee and the guy she was going to redeem was released. She stared at him and gave the I.D. "You have to wear an I.D.! It's a pity if my money only goes to the jail booth! We should just have a marriage booth!" rebuke of the woman which the guy just laughed at. Sera’s
Chapter 40: Better "Why are you staring at me? Just eat there!" I was shocked when he suddenly shouted. "Patry! What are you fussing about there? Why are you shouting at Kira?" Sera asked him, looking so confused. We both stopped eating because of his sudden scream. "What's your problem?" I asked innocently. He raised an eyebrow at me that we thought was a villain in the movies. "You're my problem. Stop staring at me. I'm annoyed with you." he said sternly. I nodded immediately, "Okay." I sparingly responded and proceeded to eat. But I really couldn’t help but look at him. He is handsome. What Sera told me on Valentine's Day made me wonder. He's handsome enough to be gay. Is he interested in men's magazines? Aren't those the models who are all male and only wear underwear? Is he really fantasizing about that? Wait… he caught me looking at him again! He stood up and glared at me. "I've lost my appetite." he said and hurriedly put his plate in the sink and then he went up the st
Chapter 41: Tamed "Guys! What are your plans for this vacation?" Boun asked. “Us? We're going to work, there's a summer job hiring there at the factory we saw near the plaza." Pres replied. "Who's with you, is it Vice?" Prem asked and he nodded. "Wow, maybe you'll end up together forever, huh?" Boun teased and hugged his boyfriend. I just sighed and thought of it. I would also like to work in case but Mom and Dad will scold me when they find out about it. I don't want to lie to Mommy G and uncle anymore. I'll just add another lie to the secret that I didn't go home with Patry. "Kira." Prem called me so I looked at them. "What are you going to do on vacation?" "We'll call each other. Of course, a couple things." Fern answered so I kicked him. "You really, what are you talking about? What couple things are you saying?" I squinted my eyes and even glared at him. I looked at Prem and Boun, "Maybe I'll just stare at the window all the time and help with the housework." I also thoug
Chapter 42: Confession I was really happy because of what happened so I finished my exams safely. Three- day exam is like a bliss. It's all over and vacation is waving! "You're in a different mood today. It's like you're having fun." Fern complimented me so I just laughed while combing my hair. "I'm happy because we're finally having a vacation." I just said. I heard him sighed. "Are you happy that I'm no longer next to you? You can't have a seatmate like me who's always with you all the time." I just took a deep breath. "Sera and I will miss you. What are you saying? I'll be sad because I’ll no longer have a seatmate that always copies my notes." "When I’m finally in Singapore, I'll call you right away. Anyway, are you ready? Let's go to my favorite place?" he suggested so I got up and put the comb back in my bag. "Let’s go ..." I said and when we reached the door, we bumped into Prem and Boun who were smiling. "Are you leaving? Be careful huh? Don't give in too much to tempta
Chapter 43: Recognition Date "Congrats to all of us!" The recognition ended quickly and our President insisted that he will treat us at a restaurant so we agreed. There's a picture taking going on right now so we're not getting ready to go to the restaurant yet. I was also saddened and at the same time remembered that today, Fern and his siblings are leaving for Singapore. Another reason for my sadness is that Patry didn’t talk nor give me a glance since last night. After he said those words, he immediately went upstairs to his room and did not even leave a text message on my phone. I filled him up with text messages and I didn't even get any reply because I thought he was sulking. I have already explained to him all through text messages but I still want to explain to him personally. I just can’t really find the timing because Sera will see and notice us. Gosh! This is annoying! It’s so hard to tame him. "Why don't you seem happy? You have a medal here." Fern noticed me and held m
