Eliana’s POV
“You should have just let me make the coffee,” I said almost boastfully.
“Hey, I succeeded on the second try,” Hugo countered.
“Yeah, you managed to make it a little less sweet than the first batch. And now you are suggesting we bake some cookies. I am afraid of what will happen in my kitchen, for real,” I said, amusement dancing in my eyes. I probably look like a child right now.
“Okay, fine, no cookies. Maybe next time, though,” he gave up pushing the cookie idea. We have the cake that he brought anyway.
As we were sipping our coffees and eating, he decided to start a conversation. I feel like he thinks that he cannot bore me with silence. I do not think that I would be comfortable with that, either. He is not Lucas.
“So, how is your ankle?” he started.
“Getting better. Thanks again for being a gentleman and a

Hugo’s POV“You do not get to make a rule when you are the one committing fraud!” Katelyn said, basically meant for the character in the movie we are watching together. Submitting the tons of school works and tasks that our professors have giiven to us means our schedule will be a little loosen since we have already passed ours. It also means free cut, for the very considerate and cool professors only, of course. So, we; I, Eliana, Katelyn, and even Lucas, agreed to have something to do, which came up with an idea of Katelyn—watching movies. We are currently at Eliana’s dormitory, which I suggested before they could think of coming into my place. I saw Lucas keenly eyeing me, definitely eager to suggest my place in a cool manner-- eager to investigate. But sorry, my tongue ran faster than his, a very better luck next time if there would be.Eliana shook her head, not taking what’s Katelyn had said. “

Eliana's POVI suddenly had this strong urge of decluttering my closet. I got up early today, with the mission of cleaning my room, like every corner of it, before I get ready for Hugo and I’s hangout later. I sweep the floor using the new broom that I bought online which only arrived yesterday. Along the process, I collect all of the stuff that I own but deemed useless now in order for it to stop taking too much space. I also got rid of the books that I have already read a long time ago. I am planning to give these to Lucas in case something in it would attract his interest. The remaining ones would be donated to public libraries or for children. After sweeping, I removed the mop from my cleaning materials corner, wet it, then proceeded to mop the whole room. I have also cleaned the mess in the kitchen that was made yesterday when my friends came over. The trash would be taken out by me later when I go out.After all of these chores, I debated with

Eliana’s POV[“So are you available today?”] I ask Katelyn from the other line.My mind was awoken first before my body did. It seemed like there’s a task that is still unaccomplished, the first thing I did when I hauled myself up from my bed was to rack my mind with information, and that’s when I remember that all the clothes I have decluttered on the other day was not yet delivered and donated. Based on my calculations, there’s quite a lot of amount of clothes I will be donating so I needed an extra hand to help, that is why I am asking Katelyn.There’s an un audible sound I have heard from Kate’s line, something that could broke my ear by listening so I take my phone away from my ear for second. [“Hey, Katelyn, are you still there? What’s that noise?”] I asked.[“Hey, Yes, I am still here! Could you hear me now?”] Kately

Hugo’s POVToday feels lighter, compared to all the other days that I have had in the human world. I feel better, at peace, and surprisingly… happier. I feel happier. Maybe because Eliana have been warming up to me like the old times. We have been out and about frequently. She now hesitates less in coming to me for help, because I made sure to make her feel that she does not need to hesitate at all. Whenever she calls, wherever the place may be, whatever the situation is, I assure her that I will be there. And this is how things are going exactly as I have planned. But this does not seem important to me now as it did back then. Am I slacking off? This cannot be. I could not lose my momentum. And the worst part is that I do not feel the pressure that usually pushes me to do better, to do literally anything that would help me get back on track. Maybe I really am slacking off.My thoughts were ruined when I realized that my feet ar

Eliana’s POVMy throat is getting hurt from all the laugh I have been doing because of Katelyn’s stories. “Where did you get all these stories from? You said you are busy with something but it seems like you have been on social media, rummaging for all these!” I told Katelyn while laughing. It honestly feels like ages since I laugh this hard. It’s just so funny I could literally roll on the ground while laughing, if anyone would not mind.Lucas in my side is shaking his head. “It’s not even that funny.” He said, his eyes is on laughing Hugo did not escape my eyes, something flickered on his eyes before it was averted from his food. Something that could name like an irritation. Not going to lie, that made my mood shifted a little bit. What is seriously Lucas’ problem to Hugo? It’s been months since the ‘new guy’ that isn’t new anymore cam

Eliana’s POV“I do not like how you are getting too close with that guy, to be completely honest with you,” Lucas said.We are now in his room, with me sitting on his bed while he sat on the floor, his back leaned against the foot of his bed. After our last class, we mutually decided that we needed to talk, and that we should just talk here because it is private. I have just asked him what the matter is when he gave me that response.“Hugo have been with us for a while now. You still calling him ‘that guy’ is just rude, Lucas. Like, what really is your problem? I got it the first time, you were skeptical of his existence because he was new. But now that he have been around long enough already, you are still acting like that. I do not get it, Lucas. He is even nice to you even when all you ever do is breathe down his neck whenever he is in your presence. I am not asking you to be friend

Hugo’s POVI already tried browsing the internet, hoping to stumble with an answer in the homework that our professor assigned to our class but my head hurts from all the terms that was being used to the explanation I have seen related to our homework; the reason why I didn’t get to answer it, for the explanation was vague to me and my mind cannot seem to recognize nor digest any of it. I am already certain that being a student, in the human world, is such a tiresome. Though I should not worry if I flunk or pass, a tiny bit of something is kind of pushing me to strive to study, that’s why I sent a message to Eliana for help.My phone beeped, indicating that I received a message. I open and close my eyes to set aside the tiredness I am feeling. I clicked the link that Eliana included in the text she have sent me for an enlightenment. Had I known that the thing called ‘Youtube’ exists, maybe I wouldn’t stay

Lucas’ POVAn hour. It had been exactly an hour since Eliana and Hugo departed. Kat went straight home, claiming that she still have something important to do. As for me, I went directly to Eli’s place. We had decided that I would just wait for her here, although I insisted that I should come with her. For safety purposes, obviously. But she reasoned out that Hugo and her are both vampires and if I would go with her, I am going to be the one who would need protection.She called me last night, saying that she wanted to confront Hugo as soon as possible. She decided that she would just do it casually, reasoning that there would be no use holding back. She knows the truth now and wants to know everything behind the truth as well.I, too, Eliana, want to know everything. I smiled bitterly. Love really has its way of clouding up your rationality, yeah? In all the years of my life, I had never once thought that I
