"Miss Horizon, your breakfast is ready." I smiled as I heard the head of our

Horizon Cole's Point of View: As early as I seemed to remember, Mom told me to wear sunblock every day. As I was looking for my sunblock on my vanity table, it made me realize that I must buy some essentials especially this one before it will become out of stock since it was summer for sure it will be in demand in the market. I lay down in my bed, but I seated properly after realizing that my hair was still wet. I was so tired of grabbing my white wireless hair blower on my vanity table, but I stretched my arms to get it anyway. I decided to iron my hair since we will be having a practice game with another department this morning, cause if I curl my hair it may take a long time in preparation. I picked high-waisted jeans and a black-one-shoulder-form-fitting-crop top instead of wearing my usual puff-sleeved dress. I was not sure if I still have an extra shirt in my locker so, I brought one oversized shirt just in case. - While
Horizon Cole's Point of View: I felt someone's presence behind my back, as I could smell his perfume I knew that it was Sage, he came where I was standing and helped me back to the bench. I took a glance at Thorn who was sitting on the bench, his gaze was on me. As I reached him, Sage let me sit. A loud contemporary song played around the volleyball court. "You can go now, we still have a class for Miss Leif, we need to pass out output. I'll see you at the gym later." His gaze remained on me for a moment before he finally stood up. He barely tapped my head before he hissed half a laugh. As Thorn made his way out, I could feel the tension between him and Sage I could notice the eyes of my teammates on us, but I reacted as if nothing happened. Coach Moen came near to me, I did not want to make her feel that she had asked
Horizon Cole's Point of View: I could notice the pep squad in Sage's department, that was practicing on the ground near their department building, it seemed like they will about to perform at the basketball game later. There were some students in track and field that were doing their usual warm-up since, every time I went here, I noticed them doing those sets of warm-ups. Someone from the soccer field called Sage, and that was caught our attention as our heads automatically turned where the voice came from. "Sage, the venue will be in the gymnasium of the Business Administration Department. Since our basketball court is still under construction." I think that was one of his teammates. As I remember, the university renovated courts and gymnasium for the upcoming intramural since there were lots of schools from another d
Sage Kade's Point of View: My gaze was on the reflection of Horizon in the rear mirror of my car as she was using her wireless hair blower, I love seeing her without makeup on, she just has dark red lipstick on that accentuated her pale skin. As she that I was staring at her, I remember Jaim. Earlier, before their game was started, I came to their department building. And as I was walking in the corridor, Jaim came along out of nowhere. She wrapped her arm into mine, which was not usual. Though she was Horizon's friend, we were not close as they were. She kept on opening up the subject about Horizon which was weird because I could notice that there was something unusual in her voice, in her eyes that made me worry about Horizon. Last time, I saw Tim, her boyfriend, staring at the Horizon from the distance. Horizon was not aware that I punched him at tha
Horizon Cole's Point of View: I felt that my right foot was numb, I was not sure if it was a good indication or not since I did not feel any pain now. I was playing my favorite pet simulation on Sage's phone. This was my stress reliever, but I decided not to install it on my phone, since it will not be special if I was able to play it all the time. I took a glance at my block mates who were struggling in doing the next step that was step-by-step instructed by Miss Cine. I think now, I must be thankful that I got an injury in our practice game earlier. I took a quick glance at Thorn, I pursed my lips when our eyes met. His gaze was on me now, I hissed and barely rolled my eyes and I immediately saw a curve on his face. - Sage was carrying my bag. I wrapped casually my ar
Thorn Trevor's Point of View: I knew Aunt was not able to meet us for her class since they had a family meeting. They wanted me to join them, but I decided not to, since I got easily bored when we had to attend that formal gathering. As I was making my way to the faculty getting the hard copy of the activities she assigned us to do, consuming our time on her class. "Stop acting innocent! As if you did not like Thorn, but deep down inside, I knew that you wanted him to steal over me." I heard an exasperated shout from someone. For sure that was Xaine, she was usually doing that even to those juniors that were cheering for our department. As I noticed, there were lots of students were looking in the direction where Xaine's voice came from. "Can you just shut up, Xaine." I stopped when I heard a familiar voice, I was sure that it was Horizon. I could hear a firm voice from her now. Xaine laughed sarcastically. "Why? Are yo
Thorn Trevor's Point of View Mom gave us the herbal type of juice that up until now, I couldn't appreciate its taste, but Mom kept on insisting me to drink it. She enjoyed preparing those stuff. She required me to drink that when I was 18 up until now, it was also one of the reasons why it was struggled for Yzack to have his meal here. "When will be your game?" Lex asked while putting the pasta on Mom's plate. "Next week, just text me if you want to watch," I uttered. I saw the excitement on her face as she was nodding her head. "Mrs. Colins." I heard a serious voice from Peterson. I stood up as Mom made her way to where Mrs. Peterson was standing. I took a glance at Alexey who was staring at me before I shifted my gaze
Horizon Cole's Point of View Mom called me that they will be extended due to the ongoing project that was launched by our company. I was just hoping that they did not overwork their selves. I had a one-hour class later in the afternoon, I was thinking if I can go to the mall this time at the same time, will not be late on my last. I was about to check some launched dresses on our boutique. Mom told me that she will just bring some home, when they got a chance to get home since she was still with Dad, as handling our company's biggest investor, but I knew how busy they were, so I decided to go there instead, and I was about to buy some makeup essentials. I picked a white dress and chunky boots white my shoulder bag, which was all from El Apparel. I decided, to drive my car, since this was my personal errand, I did not want to disturb someone. "Good morning, Ma'am." I smiled at the young lady with a slender body, I think, she was my heig
Horizon Cole's Point of View The only thing that filled the place was the sounds of the raindrops. I was staring at the green grass and let out a deep sigh. Someone seated beside me, I took a side glance at him. A smile etched on his face which was something unusual, I exchanged a smile with him. "Punched Thorn as much as you want." He advised. I laughed a bit. He ran his hand through his hair. We could see Thorn half running, he did not bring an umbrella as usual. "Can I?" He laughed while nodding his head after hearing what I had asked. "Thorn and his Dad are not on good terms now, but something still stressing him out." He took a glance at me. "That night, Thorn was with the whole team. We had fun but believed me that was exclusively for the basketball team. There was no girl there, not even Xaine. Hear him out, you are the only girl that made my friend draw silly hearts on his notes." He uttered half a laugh
Thorn Trevor's Point of View I was staring at the blue ocean, when I was a child every time I looked at the sky, I felt relieved but this time I think it was not working. I run my hand through my face and my hair out of frustration. Horizon might believe the rumor that was circulating on the EAU's official website. That post was from the unknown but, I knew that it was all Xain's plan. Last night, she knocked on my door, crying and begging for me to love her. It was hard for me to see someone in that state, but I could not do what she was asking, I love Horizon, a big-time. So I refused Xaine, but she hugged me tight, I tried to take off her arms and advised her to go back to her room and take a rest. Then, I turned my back against her and went to my room. I just noticed that she came inside, I exasperatedly asked her to go out of my room and nothing happened that nig
Sage Kade's Point of View I saw a man standing at the seashore wearing a hoodie jacket, as I reached him there, I punched him a big time. Thorn bit his lower lip. I let out a deep breath. I should admit that I let out my anger in that punch. "You don't deserve her, man." He looked away as I uttered those words to him. Early in the morning, some of the students in our department were looking at the new post on the EAU's official website for students, there was no faculty member in that group. There was a post from the unknown that clearly showed a picture of Thorn with a girl, I think that was in her department, and a picture of her went to his room last night. I never told Horizon that I was in her game last time, but I heard Thorn confess his feelings for her. God knows how I wanted to grab her hand away from him, but I knew from the very first time that, Horizon was into him as he was to her. The night in beside the seashore, I saw t
Alexey Laura's Point of View Someone knocked on the door, so I made my way to it, though, I was still wearing my bathrobe. I saw a girl wearing her plain white shirt and high-waisted jeans. I opened the door to let her come in. "Miss Alexey, about what happened last time." I smiled since I knew that she was talking about the night when mom knew everything. "It's fine. Don't think too much about that. To be honest, I wanted to say thank you for helping me. I knew that it was hard for you since it may affect your scholarship and of course your Mom." I smiled back at myself. "You are the only person that called me friend, so I felt like I was a normal college student, even just for now." I held her hand. "I will always be your friend, and if you need anything you can come to me so that I could bring back your kindness to me, okay?" A smile immediately etched on her face while slightly nodding her head. -
Yzack Tan's Point of View I tried to search and browse on the internet what was the best gift to a girl. Alexey was celebrating her birthday today. We were about to attend the intimate dinner celebration tonight. To be honest, I was thinking if it was being the perfect timing to tell everything to Thorn. He knew that I had my date later, but he was still not aware that I will be at her sister's birthday celebration. I looked at the necklace in the box that I bought the other day, but I was still not sure if she will like it. I let out a deep sigh. "Son," my head was automatically turned to my door that was varnished by dark brown when I heard someone knock on it. I saw my Dad wearing his light blue polo shirt, he looked so formal as always. "'sup?" He asked while seating right next to me. A smile etched on my face. "Do you like her, don't you?" He casually asked. I barely nodded my head as a response. "We knew e
Horizon Cole's Point of View: I was able to see the infinite blue sky from here as the bus stopped, I could hear the scream of many students who were excited to feel the fresh air and the cool water of the beach plus the astounding sunset. I could notice some students that were already there. A girl with short-wavy hair wearing a knitted-mini skirt and off-shoulder top wrapped her arm to Thorn's. I felt his eyes on me, but I tried to act as usual. I saw Jaim having fun with some of our teammates. It was not that I tried to void them, I just noticed that whenever I was with them, Jaim was avoiding even our teammates, maybe she thought that I shared the reason why we're not in good condition. I was not able to hear what Thorn was telling to Xaine, but one thing was for sure, he was irritated. I noticed Xaine's eyes were on me. She was distorted with rage as she made her
Horizon Cole's Point of View: "About him..." Sage uttered. I took a glance at him, his elbow was leaning on the window of his car and he rubbed his lower lip. His gaze was on the way. "What about him?" I asked since I knew that he was talking about Thorn. He took a glance at me, then looked seriously on the way. I was still waiting for what he was about to say, but he bit his lips and shook his head. I knew that he wanted to ask something. "You can ask anything, bro," I uttered casually. A smile etched on his face. I noticed something on him earlier. I was not sure if he was not comfortable or what. "Don't tell me, you are scared that I can find a new friend that will treat me every day?" A smile etched on his face and l
Thorn Trevor's Point of View A group of varsity players from other universities was here. And as I noticed, one of the players from SVU was staring at Horizon, which irritated me. He maybe looked familiar to her since they accidentally met last week at the mall. We already knew each other since we already met at the court and our university won, and that was exactly the reason why they badly wanted to win the game this time, but that was not easy for them since they were about to be our opponents for our first game. "What a small world." He uttered with a smile was on his face. I clenched my jaw. I felt Horizon's eyes on me, but I could not manage to check on her. I just wanted to punch the face of this asshol*. I rolled my eyes. "Yeah, do you have your game here?" Hori
Horizon Cole's Point of View There were lots of preparation happened in the university since today was the first day of the intramural week, supposedly we had a meeting with our History professor, but she canceled it beforehand which was good 'cause, up until now I had a headache in some of our requirements in some other courses. I sighed as I saw Jaim leaning on the desk next to my assigned seat. It was not easy for her as well, but yesterday, I saw her with Tim as if they were having a quarrel. Maybe they were still having communication, I did not put too much attention to things that will only cause stress. I had a lot of things in mind and I could not manage to get involved in her life decisions. "Horizon," My head was automatically turned in the direction when I heard a voice from someone. I saw a girl wearing a t
