All Chapters of Sweetest Love (ENGLISH): Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

"HEY, Yannie!" I was startled by Belle, who was beside me, loudly calling me."Seriously? Am I deaf for you to shout like that?" I commented to her while clutching my chest due to surprise."I've been calling you several times, but you've been ignoring me. Kris might just melt with how much you're staring at him," Belle said angrily to me. I immediately felt my cheeks flush from what she said. "You know, friend, it's so obvious that you're in love with your suitor. Why haven't you answered him yet?" she continued, repeatedly fanning herself.We are currently in our school gymnasium to watch a basketball game. It's our school's intramurals, and Kris is one of the basketball players playing today.Kris has been courting me for over two months now. Although I have developed feelings for him, I can't find the right time to tell him. Additionally, I'm concerned about how my parents would react if they found out I have a boyfriend. My father often reminds me that it is not the right time to

Yannie Ace Ruiz"I'm Yannie Ace. But you can just call me Yannie," I politely responded to the girl. Her appearance shows that she's not a student like Veron and me. She looks a bit older, a few years ahead of us.Ate Rica smiled and shook hands with me. Later on, other girls with her approached us."Hi! I'm Renalyn.""I'm Becca.""Hello, I'm Christine!""I'm Jan."Ate Rica's companions introduced themselves to us. I shook hands with each of them and introduced myself in return. Before Veron and I headed home, we joined their group for dinner."So, how old are you, Yannie? Are you already working?" Becca asked me."I'm 20 years old. I'm in my second year of college. Veron and I are classmates," I replied."Really? What's your course?" Rica asked."I'm taking BSOA, Bachelor of Science in Office Administration.""Oh, which school? Where are you from again?" Rica asked while twirling pasta on her fork."I go to PUP Biñan. We're from Biñan, Laguna."Our cheerful conversation continued as

Josh Rain MontezI quickly caught the ball that Ramil threw at me and promptly shot it into the basketball ring. As expected, it went in smoothly, and my game today was flawless."Whoa! You're really amazing, Papa Josh!" Ramil exclaimed with a teasing smile as he high-fived me. I chuckled and sat on our team's bench because the head coach of the opposing team called for a timeout.I grabbed a bottle of water and took a sip. While doing so, I heard my phone making a noise inside my bag. I retrieved it and saw Sissy's name—my cousin Ate Rica—on the screen. Before the game could resume, I quickly answered."Why—" I started, but Sissy immediately cut me."Where are you now?" she quickly asked."Why—""We're going to Laguna. Join us," she cut me again."What?!" I asked in surprise."Hurry up, Josh—""I can't. I'm in the middle of a game right now, Sissy," This time, I cut her off."What time does it end?" she asked."It will be over later.""Alright, we'll wait for you to finish." If she d

Yannie Ace Ruiz"Huh?" my surprised reaction to Jomar.Jomar walked towards me and took the store's padlock. After that, he headed straight outside. "Aren't you coming out?" he asked me, and I quickly moved. I grabbed my bag and followed him.This convenience store only opens in the morning because Mrs. Maricel is still busy taking care of family matters. According to Jomar, it used to be open 24/7, and Mrs. Maricel would watch over it at night or whenever he couldn't make it.Jomar was busy closing the store. It was a good thing he arrived because I would have struggled to lower the rolling steel door of the convenience store. While waiting for him to finish, my cellphone suddenly rang. I checked it and saw Josh's name appearing on the screen. He is calling! I didn't know what to do because it was the first time he called me. I haven't heard his voice yet, and I really don't know why I'm feeling so nervous right now."Who's that?" Jomar asked me, and I didn't realize he had appro

Yannie Ace RuizI don't know how long I've been staring at my cellphone screen. Every now and then, I tap it softly, patiently waiting for the following message from Josh. He mentioned earlier that he had something to do, but almost four hours had passed, and there was still no message from him. I've already returned from the market, completed other household chores, and had dinner, but he hasn't texted me again."Whose text are you waiting for, Ate?" suddenly, Yuri asked me. Apparently, she's been observing me for a while."Huh?""You've been staring at it for a while," she pointed out.I adjusted my sitting position and pretended, "I'm not waiting for any text," denying it to her. In a few moments, my cellphone quickly lit up and vibrated. I immediately grabbed it and checked. However, I paused abruptly and glanced at Yuri when I felt her still looking at me."Tss. She said she's not waiting for any text," she muttered softly, with a slight roll of her eyes. Then, she left my s
