All Chapters of Warmer than the sun: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Hailey's pov; On Saturday morning, As i was waiting for Alex in the cafe, I ordered myself an iced Americano and sipped it while looking out onto the street. The sky was dark and heavy with clouds, and a chill hung in the air. A few drops of rain had already begun to fall, leaving tiny glistening trails on the pavement. I nervously watched as more started to come down, feeling anxious about my fear of stormy rain. I don't want to embarrass myself in front of Alex. Or should I head back home quickly after cancelling the plans with Alex. Suddenly, I saw Alex through the raindrops on the window. My heart skipped a beat as he walked into the cafe, his hair slicked back and his clothes drenched from the rain."Hey," he said, flashing me a charming smile."Hey," I replied, feeling my cheeks flush with excitement."Sorry I'm late. The rain caught me off guard," he said, shaking the excess water off his coat and taking a seat in front of me."It's okay. Um, are we still going to look at hou

Hailey's pov;At the supermarket, Alex exclaimed, "Wow! I didn't expect things to be cheaper. Looks like we can buy half of the list from here."I said, "That's why I brought you here." And placed the tissue rolls in the cart he's holding.As we walked through the aisles, Alex couldn't help but Marvel at the variety of products on display. We bought every essential on the list and made our way to the checkout counter. As we were waiting in the line, Alex excused himself and ran back into the aisle. Did he forget to buy something on the list? I took out my phone from my pocket and cross checked the essentials we bought with the list. When I finished checking, I found out that we didn't miss anything on the list. Then where did he go? While the cashier was scanning the items in the cart, Alex came back with two instant noodles and a box of dumplings and placed it on the counter with other things. He said, "In case we felt hungry." And gave a grin. I pointed at the dumpling and asked, "

Hailey's pov;While I was deep in my thoughts, Riley poked me and said, "Hey, you missed your turn." "Huh, what turn?" I asked in confusion. She said pointing at Mr Grey, "The attendance." Mr Grey was screaming out the names that came after me as I looked at him. I groaned and waited until he called out everyone's name before standing up and walking over to him to confirm my attendance. Riley inquired, "What is it?" when I returned to my seat. "What?""You've been acting strangely since you arrived at class.""I don't." As I took my notebook from my backpack, I said. "Are you hiding something from me?" she said as I glanced at her."No. What do I have to hide from you? You know that even if I tried, I couldn't keep anything from you."She nodded and returned to her workbook. It's surprising to see her giving up easily but it's good. I don't want to make her worried too.At the cafeteria, I couldn't stop myself from glancing around during lunch break. When Riley discovered this,

Hailey's pov;I was dropped from my attendance for the second time in my life because I took two days off from college to let my wounds heal. The first time it happened was when Harry... I don't even want to think about those horrible incidents. I wish I had the power to erase those memories forever. I sighed and copied Riley's notes from her notepad quitely."What do you think you're doing in the middle of the cafeteria?" Riley questioned, taking my notebook. "Don't you see I'm eating here? Girl, if you don't want to eat, fine. But you're spoiling my appetite too!" "Well, my hands hurt after copying notes from every class, too," I inquired. "Are you going to write it for me, then?""Crap!" she exclaimed as she placed the notebook back on the table, "Do it by yourself." "Am I stupid to write notes twice in a row?" And she kept eating her lunch while I kept copying the notes. "Can't you do it elsewhere?" "I'm getting tired of looking at it."When I was finished, I got up from the tabl

Hailey's pov;Nearly every building on this street was familiar to me, yet I was unable to locate the cafe. Does it have some kind of camouflage ability? Or does it have a hidden entrance? Should I call once more? No, I already made two consecutive calls. What if they feel that I am bothering them? I also don't want to leave a terrible first impression. I heard my name being called out as I was seeking for the cafe. Alex was on a bike when I turned around to look at the person who called my name. "What are you doing here?" he questioned as he approached me on his bike."I'm trying to find a cafe. But I was unable to locate it."Can't you find it on the map?""There's a problem with my phone," I said as I held up my phone. "It intermittently shuts down now and then. Now, it ran out of juice and turned off for good.""Do you have an address?" "Yes." and handed him a piece of paper with the cafe address written on it. "Why are you looking for this one?" he questioned as he examined it
