"Eli, can I request something before we leave here?" Stefan asked me. I frowned for a moment and wondered what request he would ask but I just shrugged my shoulders and nodded at him before answering him. "Yeah, sure. What is it?" I asked him. "Let's take a picture together," he replied, then showed me his phone. I suddenly laughed because I didn't expect his request to be just like that, which is why I nodded. "Sure. That's all," I told him. He is like a child who has been granted because I can see the joy in his expression as he puts it on the camera of his phone. When he fixed that, he approached me so that we could fit in the same frame. It had a front camera and he was counting every picture he took, but then he pressed the shutter one after the other, which is why I just hated him because of the number of pictures he took. "It's only one time so I'll make the most of it," he said then put it on the video because I was surprised. "Hi, guys! This is our first video togethe
"Hmm, anyways. Stefan replied to me earlier. He asked me to tell you when you plan to follow him back on Instagram," Clara said to me when she got out of the bathroom. "You should follow him back tonight just to let him sleep with a smile. He's been chatting with me for a while and He's been asking you if you're asleep," she added. "I think I followed him back," I replied. "My gosh! Check it and maybe it's not yet," she said as she busily put skincare on her face. I just got tired and shook my head before I finally took the phone from the side table of Clara's bed. I immediately opened my Instagram messenger and saw that Stefan had many chats with me. I just opened it and took it to his profile to see if I had followed him but I saw that I hadn't so I clicked follow back so we could be friends there. His account is public and I saw a few of his posts there. Some are alone and others are with friends. He also has a lot of followers and I can't believe that even some actors and mode
"Hi," she greeted me. She wasn't smiling at me when she greeted me so I don't know what she meant to me but when I saw her school ID I just smiled at her because we were both schoolmates. "Hello?" I greeted her back and I hesitated because I didn't know her."Do you know me?" She asked me with an arrogant voice that made me frown then shook my head at her."Nope. Do you need anything from me?" I asked her. She took a deep breath and was exhausted before answering my question. "Everyone knows me at school and you don't know me? How is that possible?" She said sarcastically, so I just shook my head. I don't know her. The university is huge and I will not be able to meet and see all the people there. If others know her, then I don't know her. And so what if many people at school know her? What does she need from me? "I don't know you. Another thing is that our university is very huge and I admit that I don't know everyone there. I'm sorry. What do you need from me?" I asked her fra
"My clothes!" I said and didn't even bother myself. "Eli? What's happening here? What happened to you?!" Allison asked, who just arrived there. I didn't think Allison would come here, that's why I couldn't help but be nervous. Allison is braver than me, that's why I'm nervous about what she can do now. "N-Nothing, Allison. It was just an accident," I said to make excuses for her. "What do you mean it was an accident? I don't believe it. Alissa? Did you do this to my sister?!" Allison said one after the other. I looked at Alissa who is Stefan's ex and I saw the fear in her eyes while looking at Stefan. She shook her head as if asking Stefan for help. "Let's leave it alone. Let's not beat that girl," I said. Allison is graduating and maybe because of this fight, she will be destroyed. I don't want our mother to blame me again if Allison has a record in the dean's office. "Stefan, tell me what happened. Is it your ex who did this to Eli?" Allison asked Stefan. "Stefan," Alissa c
"Many people see the two of you and I think we don't believe that you two aren't in a relationship because the two of you are together now," answered a woman there. I just shook my head again because I couldn't get other people. Why do they ask questions and then in the end they don't believe when they are being answered? "Guys, Eli and I are just friends. We're not in a romantic relationship and not because you see us being together does it mean that we're dating. We're not together so stop spreading false rumors," Stefan explained to them one after the other.I just nodded because he finally helped me to explain."The answer already came from both of us, so you should believe us and not hearsay," I said then bowed slightly to leave. "Even here on campus the marites won't disappear," Stefan said, then laughed. I frowned when I turned to him, "Marites?" I asked him."You don't know that term? You probably don't use social media, do you?" he asked me. I nodded and just shrugged my
As I walked away, I couldn't stop grinning especially when Stella called me. I stopped there for a moment because I hadn't gone far enough before speaking. "I'll take care of Mommy and your driver. Josiah, take my sister home too!" I said to them."Yes, Sister Eli! I will!" Josiah answered me with a shout.I just rolled my eyes at Josiah and Stella called me again but I still ignored her. I also know that she wants to be with Josiah because she will not come here to my school just to tell me to go home to our house. Until the parking area, I was smiling because my friend was finally not so clumsy. That's good so that Stella can forget about her rude ex right away. At least, I have a lot of trust in Josiah. "Hi!"I almost jumped in shock when someone suddenly appeared at my side. I was still holding my chest because of the shock and I saw that it was Stefan! "Sorry. Are you surprised?" he asked while still laughing. "Isn't it obvious?" I asked him a complaint so he laughed again.
I was saddened by the story of Stefan's family and I didn't know that despite his cheerfulness, he was carrying something heavy. That whole afternoon we just talked and I was also very angry at the killer of his Daddy even though I didn't know him. He deprived a man of his life and liberty so I can't blame Stefan's family for being angry. "Is the rumor at school true that you and Stefan are dating?" Allison asked me one morning. Mommy is still not here because she's still out of town so we are the only ones at home. Today is the weekend and Clara and Josiah will be here later to visit. "Stefan what? Is he the boy that Mommy introduced to us at the last event we went to?" Stella asked. We are in the living room now and we are doing something. Allison is busy with her school projects, Stella is busy painting, and I am just busy editing hospital equipment using my iPad. I just finished playing with Molly. That's why she is now sleeping next to me. "Stefan and I are not dating," I an
"Well, we don't need to ask permission because Mommy herself suggested that I go on vacation in the summer with you and my friends," I told her."Really?! That's good news. Go ahead and tell Josiah that later. Are we also with Allison?" She asked, that's why I nodded. "Yup, because the more the merrier," I answered then shrugged my shoulders again. "In that case, I'll take Elijah and Stefan with me. They'll probably go on vacation too," she said, causing my chest to heave. "Huh? Why would you take them with you? They also have a different circle of friends so let them go," I told her because it was embarrassing. It would be embarrassing for their friends if we invited them. Maybe the others there are not comfortable with us so they might not enjoy their vacation. "I'll just ask. If they have an outing, then I won't invite them," she answered me then shrugged her shoulders. I just nodded to her after sighing. Clara has already chosen a swimsuit and I have also chosen one. I wore
