Chapter 46: A Promise "Hi, Mr. Lovesick." I laughed teasing him. Weeks have also passed since he fell ill. His former vigor has returned because he looks stunning as always. He is now cold and stingy again but not as bad as before. Well, it’s because I already have an ace with him. He's my boyfriend now! Hahahaha! "You look like an evil witch when you speak. When will you stop teasing me? Is that your new hobby?" he even raised an eyebrow at me. "Don't get mad at me, Mr. Lovesick. Hmmm… I really should have recorded what you said to make a ringtone." I teased him again. "Go back to your room, sis might catch us." he scolded me so I just frowned and walked back to Sera and I's room. I just continued fixing myself in front of the mirror as well as the bag I would carry on our departure. According to Sera, Mommy G and uncle allowed us to visit the hacienda again. I am excited to see their grandma and grandpa again on their mother's side. I am still really grateful until now because
Chapter 47: Two in one Our vacation seemed to be sad because of the loss of Mommy G’s mother, Mrs. Gie. They deeply mourned Mrs. Gie’s death. But it seemed like that night was a puzzle to me because I even talked to grandma before she finally left. Is it just her soul talking to me? Even though it was feathery, it became a precious memory for me because she actually left a will about Patry to me before she went to heaven. It is the end of April now and it is filled with my grief for them. Mommy G and uncle are still at the hacienda to continue to take care of grandpa, Mr. Lawrence, while we are back here at home. The speed of time and academic year will enter again. I also need to make the most of it because I'm going to be stressed again. I don't even have a seatmate that I always have with me during quizzes and exams. It's somehow true that I don't need someone to remind me to write notes because it's really necessary so that I’ll not be late for lectures. It’ll be my last year be
Chapter 48: Pretending "Stop staring at me. I'm disgusted." Is this a déjà vu? I just crossed my arms while smiling. "Is it bad to look at my boyfriend? I just appreciate what I have." "Don't make any noise there. Sera might still hear us. Go back to the room. We're about to leave." "Sera is still taking a bath. You're stingy. Don't you want to see me? You said you always miss me--" he suddenly covered my mouth so my shameless brain thought of licking his palm so he immediately took his hand away from me. "What the!" he couldn't believe what I’ve done and I even glared at him badly. "Why are you looking at me so badly there? You're not scary anymore." I challenged him and let my tongue out. I got out of his room and quickly went down the stairs straight to the kitchen. I didn't want him to chase me in the first place but I was surprised when he followed me and hugged me from behind. "You're really naughty." I laughed even more when he tried to bite my ear. Wow, this is the fi
Chapter 49: Will you stop me? "Welcome back, Mom and Dad!" I immediately fired the party popper in front of them and we laughed. Today, Mommy G and uncle are home again. Sera and I helped prepare the meals and even Patry helped because Sera ordered him even though they were always fighting while in the process. Before finishing, Sera's attacks on Patry were so bad that I was just shaking my head because of their naughtiness. "Why did you even bother to prepare?" Mommy G asked. We are now helping them to bring their belongings inside and we all went to the dining table to eat. "Of course, you've been gone for a long time so we just have to prepare for you ..." Sera replied smiling. "She just wanted to ask for money. Her wallet was exhausted from shopping." Patry teased so her sister glared at him. "Why is your money running out so fast? We just give it to you, right?" uncle asked and Sera frowned. "It's not low yet. We just really want to celebrate your homecoming. Don't even l
Chapter 50: New dilemma "Why isn't Fern on the list? Did he transfer to another university?" Boun asked. "You, Kira? Do you know anything?" Prem turned to me so I just smiled sparingly. "He's in Singapore now. He'll be studying there." I said as their eyes widened. They just looked at me and frowned. "Wow, he's really something. I didn't know that what he was saving on was going to another country." Boun said that I just shook my head. "Long story. We're still talking somehow and as of now he's still in the process of his papers for university." I stated. They nodded. "You don't have a seatmate now. But we're here so don't worry. There’s no difference in sectioning either. We still have the same classmates so nothing has changed. We're the ones you can always be with. We're next to each other in the seat ah?" Prem said sincerely so I just smiled. "Thank you." Today is the first day of our academic year as Grade 12 and senior high school subject teachers are now assigning us wh
Chapter 51: Gullible A few weeks passed and things were still going on. Every time I try to talk to Patry, he always says he’s busy. When I secretly peek into his room at home, I always find him asleep. It made me think about how hard the school works he was doing. And another, his classmate who is the daughter of Senator De Guzman. Also in recent weeks, I have always seen them together. I admitted to myself that I was jealous but I’m always reminding myself not to succumb to jealousy. I have to trust Patry. "Kira, lend me your notes." Prem said that I just obeyed and handed him my notebook. "We're going to join clubs again. Which club will you join, Kira? Is it the writing club again?" Boun asked me as I just shook my head. "I'm going to my best friend's club. It's just an arts club. The president of our club said before, the Director won't be sponsoring the school magazine this year so it's better if we don't bother to make a club. " I didn't care about stating it and they couldn
Chapter 52: Good day "What did you say earlier?" We are now in the mini park within the subdivision. He told me through text and it’s late now at night, so only now did I have a chance. I was angry with him and after I said the bold words to him earlier, I walked out and I didn’t pay attention to him. Now I feel like a scared wet chick when I face him. Where was my courage before? Why did it suddenly disappear? I just gulped. "Which one is it? Is it a trap? Because if you haven't heard, I'll repeat ---" "I heard. What I want to address is what you mean to fool you. Are you saying I'm just fooling you? That what I say and do every time I'm with you isn't true? Do you think I'm just pretending?" I just bit my lip and looked at a nearby tree to prevent tears from forming in my eyes. "That's how I feel, Patry. Do you know how I feel now? I don't know what I should think." I said tremblingly and looked at him, "Why ... Why have you suddenly become like that since you met Olivia?" "Al
Chapter 53: Olivia "This is Kira ..." Sera introduced me so I smiled at the guy she said is the new President of the Arts Club. "Hi, Kira. I'm Supremo, a STEM strand also like Sera but we're from different sections. Nice to meet you." The guy held out his hand which I reached for. "Kira May Lucas, ABM strand." As I expected, Olivia and Patry are here again because they are also new members of the Arts club. Though, almost all the members are here today because Supremo said there will be a meeting. Maybe just orientation will happen and some sort of discussions about the plan. I really had the courage to go and not act so childish anymore. Nothing would happen if I just always walked out and ran away. But of course, I couldn’t help but succumb to jealousy because of what I was seeing. Whenever I get annoyed, I always just act like I’m meditating because I’m calming myself down. Who wouldn't be annoyed if Olivia was like a leech whenever she clung to my boyfriend? Olivia’s kind, ye
