Chapter 70 Guard Dogs and Frying Pan

I feel like I have a bodyguard—no, a guard dog would be a more suitable description of Xander. I guess I am grateful that he is concerned about me and the fact that I am still a little uncomfortable with people talking to me, but that’s just for the people who I am not close with! He almost didn’t let Romeo talk to me the moment we got to class. “If you hadn’t convinced him to let me talk to you, I might have called him an ingrate.” Romeo mutters while we both watch Xander glare and block the school press from taking any pictures of me or getting an interview. “Sorry about that.” I don’t know why I apologized, but somehow, I just feel like it is appropriate. “By the way, how are you doing?” It’s a very late question considering the amount of time that passed. I feel like a terrible friend because I didn’t even manage to consider what the situation had caused him. “Pretty great!” He smiles, which is baffling considering that the scandal might have affected his career. My bewild

Chapter 71 Gutsy Invitations of Hailey May Collins

I just got back to school and thought I’d missed it, but of course, that was me being delusional. I mean, really, who would miss school when you have to catch up on quizzes and exams?! NOT ME! “Sheen, you’re beginning to doze off.” Sandy looks at him with her hands on her hips, looking at Sheen sprawled on the couch. “He was probably gaming all night with his character dressed in a banana costume.” I can’t help but make a comment as I look up from the study material that Xander has created for me. I can’t help but snicker silently. Sheen catches me laughing and immediately sits up and points an accusing finger at me. “It was YOU, wasn’t it?! You were the person who kept shooting at me in that online shooting game!” Oops. Maybe I smiled too much, which gave it away. For the record, it wasn’t my fault that he was an easy target in the game. Who the hell wears a banana costume to a shooting game anyway!? It’s like they are either flexing that they spent money in that game or they

Chapter 72 Are You Jealous?

“You might want to speed up a little there, bud. The zombies are catching up.” I can’t help but say this while Xander is still carrying me like a sack on his shoulder while running away from the students. “Stop kidding around, Hailey!” Xander scolds me like I have anything to do with the situation—in hindsight, maybe I do, but it is not my fault that I am popular. “At least do something to stop them!” “I told you, you have to help me since I can’t beat up this many crowds.” “Can’t you think of other ways other than using your fists?!”Xander's ability to run, scream, and carry me all at once is impressive. He would have fit in perfectly on a sports team if he were not on the student council. “Do something!” He repeats his words to me earlier. Well, I guess I should try doing something. Either I get sick from being carried and shaken too much or I get bored at this point. “There’s a flying cockroach!” Either these students love me so much or my acting was just plain good because t

Chapter 73 A Bit of Misunderstanding

Ever since my identity as Hailey May Collins got out, I no longer bother to dress up as Felisha during my photoshoots. The hassle of wearing a wig and thick makeup to hide my identity is just a hassle, especially since the secret is already out. Romeo is still doing the shoot with me, just like he said he would, until his contract with the company ends. “I heard that you are going to attend the winter dance with Xander and that the great Hailey May Collins asked him to the dance herself.” The moment the last shot of our photo is taken, Romeo decides to bring up the topic. I was glad that he waited until the shoot was over; otherwise, I might have appeared like a fish out of water during the whole photoshoot. It’s not because I am shocked, but because I am embarrassed. “You know, I wouldn’t mind you asking me that question if you were only genuinely curious, but looking at that smirk gives me the idea that you have other reasons than curiosity for asking me that question.” I manage

Chapter 75 Taco Place

I wasn’t aware that my mother called Xander and promised to sponsor our attire for the dance. Knowing how I would have reacted, I guess I can understand why my mother kept it a secret in the first place. Still, it would have been better if she had at least given me a hint. Xander and I are sitting not too far from each other. None of us are even speaking. I am sitting casually and bouncing my legs nervously while thinking of ways to strike up a conversation. From how Xander is busy scrolling through his phone, I don’t even know if he would like to talk to me. It’s always been difficult to read Xander’s mood, so I decided to risk it and converse with him. “The weather is nice.” I start. “It’s raining heavily outside, Hailey.” He responded without looking up from his phone. Well, so much for an icebreaker. I should try another approach. “I didn’t know that you were coming.” “I thought your mother told you that I would be coming for the fitting.” This time, Xander did look up. I c

Chapter 76 Blackmail Photos

“Do you think that they are on a secret date?” “I—” “I think so too. It’s very suspicious.” “Hailey—” “Do you want to secretly take photos of them for future blackmail purposes? I know I would.” I cheerfully as I continue to snap pictures of Sheen and Sandy buying tickets for a random romance movie. “You’re already taking photos of them. What’s even the point of you asking me about it?” I can feel Xander’s tiredness as a sigh escapes him. I believe that his exhaustion comes from him constantly trying to tell me against stalking them, but all his words simply go from one ear to the other. “Let’s go!” I drag him along after the couple finished buying tickets. “Where to?” “To buy some tickets. We’re watching the movie.” “Why?” “...That’s because the movie looks interesting.” Xander gives me a long stare. “You’re still going to spy on them in the cinema, are you?” “...No…?” The words left my lips in a drag, making it sound suspicious. “I mean, I am really interested in watchin

Chapter 77 Mulling Over

The very next day, I was humming as I headed to the student council room after taking my special exams—I’m not going to talk about how well or poorly I did. It doesn’t matter. I feel like I have accumulated enough points to graduate anyway.I met Sandy at the door, and I gave her the brightest mischievous grin that I could muster. Sandy just smiled at me in return before heading inside the council room. I still have the blackmail photo of her and Sheen on their secret date that I am dying to show her. Because my exams are finally out of the way, I have no choice but to participate in my student council duties. I don’t mind doing it these days, and my old self would laugh at me if I admitted it out loud, but hey, I am here to have fun with Sandy. It’s payback for all the teasing that she put me through. “Hey, Sandy.” I smile, heading over to her and plastering on a smile. Sandy gives me a perplexed look. She’s probably wondering why I wasn’t hostile with her today. “Good day to you,

Chapter 78 Loveless

I rarely get into serious situations that I give a damn about. Right now, I badly wish that I was in one of those situations so I could just laugh and ignore it. I guess I have not gotten my luck as Hailey May Collins working yet because the situation in question involves Xander and the others. “You guys are going to disband?” My tongue felt heavy when I said it. I knew what I heard, but I still could not believe it. “Can you tell me why?” “It’s not exactly a secret, but I assure you that it was a mutual agreement on everyone’s part.” Xander looks uncomfortable, making me wish that I hadn’t asked the question in the first place. “I’m sorry. You don’t have to answer my question if you are feeling uncomfortable.” I hastily added and avoided his gaze. As much as I am dying to know their reasons, I should still respect their privacy. Xander’s chortle comes as a surprise to me. I stare at him, wondering what it is that he finds so amusing. Currently, I feel a little conflicted about

Chapter 79 Is it Hot?

As the school’s cool girl, I have numerous people confessing to me on a daily basis, but having someone that I know confess to me, especially one that I like, is just embarrassing—in a good way. You’d thought that I would jump in glee and throw sparkles and rainbows at everyone’s face out of joy, but nope. Before I could even give my answer, Leo and the others came back. The next day, I was so tired. I could not even sleep just thinking about it. We’re supposed to head to the mall today to buy the materials needed to make the design. Of course, Xander is going to be there. Unexpectedly, I arrived at the meeting place earlier than planned. I’ve got nothing better to do because if I continue to stay at home, I might just keep staring at my reflection and recalling the confession. It was a confession, right? I mean, I am almost certain that it was. Before we parted ways, Xander assured me that he doesn’t need an answer right away and is willing to wait. Actually, I really wanted t

Chapter 80 Just A Normal Lunch

Taking a photoshoot with The Pandorgriffs always feels like bliss for me, despite the number of times that we’ve done this before. It seems that I will always be their fan, no matter what. Actually, that’s not the only thing that makes me excited to work with them. It’s also the fact that I get to work with Xander too. It’s only been a day since we started dating, but it seems like I can’t help but feel light and happy whenever we see each other. He keeps meeting my gaze during our turn and giving me secret grins and a wink. If Xander could be an animal, he would definitely be a fox. Sandy, the ever so reigning queen of gossip, managed to catch that Xander and I have been looking at each other all throughout work. This hellhound of a girl literally has been giving us both a look of suspicion and, I swear, I think her nostrils are flaring like she caught the scent of a hot topic. Xander and I haven’t told the others about our relationship yet. We’re not trying to hide it from them
