Prologue

YESHUA TADA WAS panting when she reached the chief executive officer’s desk. She hadn’t even caught up her breath when she started talking in a raspy voice, “Is it true? You’re really going to watch the competition?” Her eyes were glistening in joy and anticipation about what her CEO was about to answer.Instead of showing any signs of emotion, Bivianne Cordova didn’t tear off her gaze from the paperwork she had been working on since that morning. “Can you please hand these over to the R&D as soon as possible?” She placed two sets of papers on the table and continued, “And this should be handed to the finance.”She eyed the papers for a while, contemplating what she would do with it. “Okay.” She was about to leave the room but chose to turn around and go back to the table. “So, are you really going?”Looking from her computer, she sighed, “You already know the answer. What’s the use of asking?”Her smile widened upon the news. “Then, you’re really going, right? Right?”Bivianne could

Chapter 1

"Please! Please, Bivianne, just this once. I won't bother you after this game." Yeshua pleaded, her hands clasped together as she followed me walking towards our classroom. I didn't turn to show how reluctant I was to fulfill her request. More like, I couldn't.Before I could enter the room, Yeshua slammed her palms against the door, blocking my way. One of her proud traits was her determination. It could be annoying to others, but she didn't care. If she wanted something, she would do everything to get it.I had no choice but to look at her with my usual poker face. We had only recently become friends, but I already knew how persistent she could be. I couldn't stop her no matter what."What do I gain from joining? I could get hurt or seriously injured just playing that game. Are you willing to take responsibility? Are you ready to trade legs with me if something happens?" I raised my right eyebrow, challenging her.She raised hers in response. "What are you talking about? It's just i

Chapter 2

I rode in the car without saying anything. I knew that Mang Kiko noticed my mood that morning, but he didn't ask. I knew that when he saw my mom earlier, that was explanation enough. No need for a verbal one.My mom left early, and she didn't even wait for me in the morning. That's better for me, though. Because I don't want to be with her and receive another sermon. I don't want to get slapped again.When we arrived at school, I got out of the car. I was about to enter when Mang Kiko stopped me. I faced him."Take this." I looked at the lunchbox he handed me, along with a small box. "My wife prepared this for you to bring. The other box has medicine for the wound on your lip."I slowly took it and looked away. "Thank you."He gave me a tight smile before letting me go. I sighed when I reached the room and looked at what he gave me. Instead of being happy and grateful for the small gesture from the couple, I couldn't help but pity myself instead.This is how they've been treating me a

Chapter 3

"Do you know each other?" Yeshua asked while glancing back and forth between us and her cousin.Oxem messed up her hair, making me envy it. "Yes. I accidentally bumped into her and spilled her milk tea, so I bought her a new one.""Lucky she didn't get angry," Yeshua chuckled. "She has a temper when her milk tea is spilled or when she can't buy one.""Really?" I smiled at the amusement in her tone. "Good thing I replaced it then."Yeshua furrowed her brow. "By the way, what do you do at the milk tea place? You don't even drink it?"I shrugged and messed up her cousin's hair even more, leading them into another argument. I couldn't help but watch them bicker, even though Yeshua seemed annoyed, she appeared used to it. On the other hand, Oxem seemed to enjoy teasing his cousin.I am an only child. My mom is also an only child. So, I don't have any cousins on my mother's side. As for my father's side? I would never know. I never met him, so I wouldn't know if he had siblings or if I had

After finishing organizing the papers, I took my bag. I wasn't planning to look at Oxem again, but our eyes met, and I couldn't resist. On the other side, he was sitting, but his gaze was still fixed on me, even though he was talking to Peter. I felt more flustered when he stood up and started walking towards me."Done?" he asked."Ahm… yeah. I should probably go ahead. They seem to be enjoying their conversation. I won't bother them. Where's Auntie? I'll say goodbye."Mang Kiko and I followed him inside the house to bid farewell to his mother. Yeshua just waved goodbye to me as I left. It seemed like they weren't planning to go home yet because they still had many stories to share. I wonder where they're getting all those topics?Inside, we saw Auntie fixing things in the kitchen. She looked at us when Oxem called her."Why don't you stay for lunch?" Auntie asked. "I'm cooking for the kids. There's plenty, and they might not be able to finish it all."I forced a smile before replying

Chapter 5

"I’ll need you to get an exclusive interview with the owner of the farm you featured on your project," Ma'am Aquino began.I held my breath, fearing she might add more requirements. She could do that, but I couldn't afford it. I already had too much on my plate with all the other tasks."Of course, ma'am. Noted. I’ll secure a document and a short video for the interview," I replied. She seemed pleased with my response, and after wishing me good luck, she dismissed me from the faculty. Yeah, I needed that.I released the breath I'd been holding as I exited the faculty. I can handle that. Editing the video would be easy as long as I had enough clips. But that meant I had to go back to Oxem's house.After our class, I immediately informed Yeshua and asked her to accompany me for the interview. Unfortunately, it turned out that they were working on their own project that day, so I was the only one available. Fortunately, Kenneth offered to come with me and handle the video while I conduct

Chapter 6

Bivianne"What's the matter?" aunt asked. "Oxem, what's going on?"I looked away and immediately took my things to get out of there. I don't want to be rude to aunt but I don't want to stay here with her son anymore. Her son's making me uncomfortable. Really uncomfortable."Let's go first, aunt," I informed. "Sorry for the trouble and thank you very much. I have to go home too.""Okay. Be careful. I'll take you all the way outside."I couldn't look at Oxem anymore and quickly left their house. If I stay there any longer, I might not be able to breathe forever. Fortunately, Kenneth didn't ask any more questions about what happened. I don't know what to say.I said goodbye to aunt again before leaving. Oxem never left their house, thankfully, so I never saw him again.I leaned back in the chair and sighed. What the hell is wrong with that guy? How can he say that without stuttering? Pay him more attention? Why? Why do I have to do that? I pay the same attention to him and to other peopl

Chapter 7

BivianneI sighed when our Earth Science teacher left. Our class is over for the day so I can go home.It's been a few days since Yeshua's game, but the events are still fresh for me. How could I not forget, well, Oxem was there.I sighed again.He has been the stuff of my brain for a few days. I am very thankful that it does not affect my studies. But after my eighteen years of existence, just now I was disturbed by a man. At least it's my brain.There were many people who made me feel bad even when I was in junior high school, but none of them touched me. I had a crush but not so bad that I always think about it wherever I go. I was just so focused with my studies before that I didn't have time for boys.And now that Oxem came into my life, my thoughts were divided. Before, all I could think about was studying and milk tea. Now he is with her. It has become studies, milk tea, and Oxem.And it's like fate is still teasing me because he's here right now in front of me. He was looking

Chapter 8

Bivianne"Bivianne Cordova," called ma'am Teresa who is our Gen Math teacher. "You seem busy lately."At first I didn't get what he meant. But when I saw my grade in the exams last time, my mouth dropped. I felt as if I was frozen in place while staring at my paper."Two mistakes. You know I can't do anything when your mom asks about your grades, right?"I was just dumbfounded and stared at the two circles on my paper as if that would change. But not. Two of my answers are still wrong. And no matter what I read in the questions, that is really wrong. I don't know why even though I know the correct answer now, I still got it wrong on the exam day itself.Until the end of our class for the whole day I was just stunned. There's no use listening to the class. Because I will definitely be locked in the basement again and mom will hurt me. Thinking about it makes me shiver.I remember the last time I had a low grade. She dragged me to our basement and assaulted me there. He doesn't let anyo

Chapter 9

BivianneMy classmates are looking at me strangely again. I know they know what happened even though I don't say anything. It is that obvious. Even if I put on a jacket, I still can't hide my wounds. Heck, I think the jacket is even one of the reasons why I'm getting so much attention right now.So even though it was irritating I still did my best to ignore their looks. It's up to them to stare at that. I do not care. I need to study more and my new Gen Math tutor called me. As I expected, I will have a private tutor.Ma'am Cynthia Joson is said to be a good teacher in any branch of math. She's a licensed engineer too but she says she really likes teaching more. She's one of my mom's few friends in high school.I can't wait to meet her. According to the information I read, he was one of those who tried to beat mom to the valedictorian position in high school. It's like Yeshua and I. I wonder if Yeshua and I will still be friends in the future when we have jobs.Before the class starte
