Kathrina POVWhile we were getting closer to Lita's neighborhood, I decided to sort things out with her. She was quite quiet all through school hours so I wasn't able to talk to her about what happened this morning.The last thing I'm looking forward to is having to choose between my best friend and boyfriend on some occasions."You know…" I started, making Lita glance at me as if I was about to say something upsetting."I think you got it all wrong, Lita.""Hm?""About Hayden." She hissed looking away."Trust me when I say he has truly changed.""That's coming from you who just learnt about his past horrible self this morning," she said and shook her head."What did he tell you after school hours? That he's truly changed since he met you…?""Yes. And I believe him.""Oh, woa!""Rylan is responsible. I know that.""Yes, you know everything, Kathrina." She stopped walking and turned to face me."Look, it's okay if you don't believe me. Let's say Hayden has changed. But how certain are

Kathrina POV"You must be kidding," Lita told me after I told her about what happened this morning as we walked up to an empty table during lunch break."You need proof, this is it." We sat down by the table and I stretched out my phone to her."Check the video." I tilted my head to my phone in her hand."Look, I…" she paused and shook her head as she tapped the screen of the phone to play the video.She lifted her now pale gaze to me some minutes later and sighed. She slided my phone on the table to my side."So? How's the proof?""I'm…sorry, Kathrina." She hung her head. "I really didn't mean to be unreasonably mean to Hayden yesterday.""You've been giving him a cold shoulder like you actually saw him locking me in that storeroom in Zoey's place.""My bad." She lifted up her head and sighed."Hm.""But…it's kind of confusing, you know," she said and I squinted, dazed."What?""Rylan said Hayden knows the reason why he was hounding you. Do you perhaps know about that?""Hey, the ps

Kathrina POV A week later, I've gotten over that horrible night and have been enjoying quite stress-free and peaceful days in school despite Hayden not being in school for some days.On a bright Saturday morning, I had snuck out of the house, taking Morley's bike to check out some places in the town as usual and I was first heading to see Lita when the bike broke down at the junction of my street. "Fuck, what the heck!" I groaned as I tried starting the bike but it didn't work.I got down and kicked the back tyre of the bike. I sighed, staring down the quiet street, hoping my mom wouldn't get to see me if she stared out through a window of her cafe.What am I going to do? Head to Lita's house by foot, which is actually possible and leave the bike here? No. Morley is going to be furious if he finds his bike broken down at the junction of the street.He's going to get out of the house soon and when he finds out I took his bike without his permission, the kid will yell at me and so wi

Kathrina POV On Tuesday,at the cafeteria, I and Lita were talking as we had our lunch. "You know it's going to be hard?" Lita said, taking the last bite of her cheeseburger. "What?" She lifted her gloomy face and met my oblivious gaze. "The exams," she said and smiled. "Oh." "It's next two weeks, after spring break, forgotten?" "Oh? No," I said and chuckled. "You don't look troubled by it like me," she said and I shrugged. "Why?" I shook my head. "Are you a genius?" She asked sagaciously, making me lift my brows. "You know I'm not so intellectual." "Yes, I do. But your vague and calm attitude towards the upcoming final exams wants to make me believe you are an einstein." "I'm average. So why should I worry so much? I shouldn't start worrying myself about our exams now." "O,yes. Sure. You're only worried about your absent supposed-preoccupied boyfriend, Hayden," Lita teased and giggled. Seeing my expression turned grim, she stopped. "Um, I. Am. Sorry," she said and fa

Kathrina POV"What? Tell me it's a big fat lie, Kathy?" Lita requested the next day after I told her that Rylan was Mrs Miranda's son.She had stopped cleaning the table the moment I told her and flicked her gaze to me."It's quite unfortunate?" I asked her, sitting upright on the sofa."Exactly," she said, tossing the rag on the table and sitting on the couch facing me."She's such an ah-dorable woman and the heavens dimmed it fit to bless her with a son like Rylan?""Stop asking me questions which I have got no answer to.""Well it's a rhetorical question. You didn't notice since you suck in figures of speech," she joked and chuckled, holding back herself from laughing. She stared at me greatly surprised."Look, I was awestruck as you now when I saw Rylan's picture in her home. The worst that happened at that moment was when he walked in.""So you left?" She arched a brow."Exactly. Should I have stayed back?"She shook her head."Nah. But…you know what I'm thinking?"I raised my bro
