I may not be the best guy to give advice and not your ideal man to be with, but I want you to know that there was someone like me, existing in this world, to be with you for all the times you feel you have no one to lean on."I bit my lip hard to stop crying. It's OA if it's OA but I was just touched by what Israel said.At the same time, I suddenly felt disappointed in myself for being rude to him sometimes. So much disappointment for not appreciating his existence...As well as his efforts just to prove that he was solemnly in love with me."I will wait for the day to come when I can watch you on TV, Irene. I am one of those who believe that you will fulfill your dream of becoming an actress.I promise, I'll be the first one in your fanmeet. Fly high, Irene. Pursue your dream, I'm always at your back, supporting you silently.""Why are you doing this?" I asked. "Does that add pogi points?""Besides that," he chuckled."I'm telling you this to give you courage. Irene, if no one belie
This is because it's difficult for someone like me who doesn't have much history about making friends. Because I'm used to being alone and others don't do me any favors.I'm not used to gan'to but... I also don't want to lose them."Okay, do as you wish. Believe me or not, I cherished you all.As I've mentioned before, I rarely have true friends. Letting this opportunity slide is like giving birth to a fool." I hummed."I don't want to lose an important person to me... Never again.""You'll agree too, you made the conversation even longer." Yuwi said."Delancy almost got stressed out," Dylan said with a laugh."Bro, I was told. If Irene doesn't agree, we won't have a hot night later."Using the mirror inside the car, Warren's eyes searched for my presence."So thank you, Irene. You didn't know it, you saved me in the cold night.""When you're really together, it's hard for you to talk straight!" Delancy is interested."If only we didn't need a paper bag carrier, maybe those two wouldn
Everything was all planned. And the mastermind? Only Israel.Buying me those clothes and accessories was truly an order from Magi, but having Yuwi and Dylan join us as well as Delancy bringing me to get fixed was all Israel's plan.He's just going to treat me, why do I need to be fixed?Honestly, that part made me feel bad. Wasn't my appearance presentable at that time so they reached the point that they needed to fix me, to think that I would just stand in front of Israel to listen to his song?The whole trip way back home, I just kept my mouth shut. They were all aware that I didn't like what they did.I truly appreciate their efforts so that the plan doesn't fail, but they missed one.I don't know if it's just me but... I feel like I was the ugliest person a while ago.Maybe I do really need a huge transformation to myself, in that way, I will be worthy to be courted by Israel."Damn, Irene! You're crazy!" I said out of frustration.I appreciate all of Israel's efforts to give me a
"That's why you can't focus, Irene. Your mind is preoccupied, so I hope that even now you can free yourself from thinking deeply. In that way, you could go back to your previous form."Okay... Free my mind so that I could go back on track.I took a deep breath before starting again. I started making the pasta sauce again for the fourth time, praying that this time I wouldn't screw up.Even now, I tried not to think about yesterday's events. I put aside my fear of ruining my life forever when I signed the paper.I don't want to think about negative things right now, because our grade depends on the dish that Harold and I make.My hand was shaking as I started sprinkling the spices while mixing it, but luckily it didn't seem like I put too much or too little.When I tasted it, its sweetness and saltiness were just fine to my taste.Gosh, I made it.Harold and I set about plating, trying to make ours look clean and presentable.My nervousness increased even more when we finally put the d
"Could you please stop acting like a jealous boyfriend? It's irritating." I looked at him and tried my best to remain at my composure."Of course," I heard him 'tsked'."Sorry, my ex is possessive. We don't have a label, I shouldn't be jealous.Okay, I get it.""Even then I should have known where I should be and interfere in your life.This time, okay, I'll give you freedom." He added before turning his back at me.I did nothing but clench my fist in anger.Why am I angry? I also do not know. I'm just disgusted with Israel because of what he did today.I know we weren't okay the last time we saw each other, but is that enough for him to act like that?"I think you need to talk to him," and just like that, Harold caught my attention."I'm not telling you to go after him to talk to him and explain. If you're not ready to do that now, maybe some other day.""You know, Irene... You can't excuse me that you don't have to explain anything to him because you don't have a label.Whether ther
"Your clothes don't fit in your wardrobe anymore, are you going to ask me for more?""There's still space so---""I'm sorry but my answer is no," I passed him but before I got far I spoke again."My true friends gave me that. I won't let someone like you benefit."It felt really good to be able to answer Stacy like this while she was speechless and unable to move to report to her mother.I held them by the neck, thanks to my brain that just got smarter that day.I was outside the house, in the garden area to eat there. I'm used to not being at the table with Aunt Gretchen, I must have been relieved by the looks on both of their faces.At this moment, Tita can no longer order me around and mistreat me like before. It's natural, because he's afraid I'll bring out his stench.Thank you Thank youIn the middle of enjoying my day, my phone rang suddenly. I received a voice message from Israel, I'm still hesitant whether to play it or not."Maybe it's a grunt, ah?"As I built enough courage
"Just like Julia... Fear of commitment.""Then you, you're afraid of being under." Israel was teasing Yuwi there.I just laughed at them to pretend I was keeping up with the flow of their conversation... Even though I wasn't really.As I finished eating the foods I took, my attention was caught by the sudden flashing of a video on the projector."Before the first letter in DWEIYAH gets married, allow us to share to y'all their love story."Eli is now in the front, and he seems to be the mastermind behind the release of the video of the two's love story.While the others were busy watching the video, my attention was aroused by Magi and Dylan on the side of the mini stage. Magi's reaction was so priceless while reminiscing their love story.Utilizing the video that I've been watching, I also learned the beginning of their love story.Just like the most cliché love story we've known back then, they started hating each other. They've become an enemy of each other because of the incident
"Are Magi, Warren, Yuwi and Harris and I on the same side?" Israel's assurance."GG, tol.""Tamo, you are very old, huh?!""Calm down, Harris and Warren." Eli laughed and said."We are both unfamiliar with the game. It's a fair fight because we're all gropers, okay?”"And I think, Delancy picked unbiased." I inserted into the conversation."You can say that because you are sure to win."Alec looked at Harris. "We will play not for the prize but to enjoy, okay? Calm down.”"Let's get started," Dylan announced."To find out which one of us will be first, you pick stones one by one." And what he points to is Harris and Alec."USA," said Harris and they got ready to pick stones.USA means best of three, child's play it seems.After that Alec won, and Harris' group was chosen to go first. We will t-timer them, then when it's our turn they will t-timer us.Standing at the front part is none other than Yuwi, he's the one passing the word on his teammates who now have headphones attached to t
