For The Stars Have Sinned Chapter 23: Small world
That was the last time I talked with Jamaica. When we sat in each other's class, we didn't pay attention. Although there were some group activities after a quiz, we're not fated to be groupmates so we couldn't talk either. I didn't mind it though. People like her who like to control the emotions of other people to gain advantage for themselves were not suited to be with me. Or so I thought... When the afternoon arrived, I went straight to the waiting shed opposite the University gate and waited for my pickup. But, I've been standing there for several hours but still no one came. I called Gerard but he told me he was still taking Mama to the fishing port in the city. "Just take the jeepney, Joy." I looked up at the dark sky. "But it's raining, Mom. I don't have an umbrella." I raised my free hand and caught the raindrops from the roof of the waiting shed. I sighed. "Just call Pipoy. He might have returned home to El Grande." "Alright, Mom." I hang up and dialed Mang Pipoy's nu
For The Stars Have Sinned Chapter 24: Stop courting
Stop courting I didn't say a word but Lyndon didn't plan to let me off the hook. "She's the girl I'm talking about," he said. Kervy was silent while my heart was beating loudly. I didn't want to let Kervy know that Lyndon has something to do with me nor let Lyndon know that Kervy's courting me. How I wish the two would never know each other because I'm ashamed. I was clearly taking advantage of Kervy and Lyndon's smart enough to figure it out soon. "I see," Kervy said after a few minutes. He even glanced at the rearview mirror to check on me. "Rishel's the girl I'm courting, cousin." Lyndon glanced at me and I looked away. I looked outside the window, overlooking the scenery while the car's traveling towards North. I was just surprised when Lyndon suddenly brought his mouth close to my ear and whispered. "You dare to play with my cousin, Miss Larica?" he asked. I bit my lower lip. I threw him a hateful glare which he generously accepted. My shame only deepened. "Shut up," I warne

Wrong call I sighed. I didn't pick up the phone because a guard already did that. "Just throw it away," I said as I entered the mansion. I lied down on the bed and thought of Lyndon's smiling face. Is that man happy that I cut ties with his cousin Kervy? My two eyebrows met. The next day, I entered the University for another set of exams. The result can be obtained on the same day so I got it by afternoon. When I receive the paper and saw the score, my eyebrow raised. "Eighty over hundred? From whom did you copy?" Reun asked suddenly when she glanced at my paper. I laughed at what she said and jokingly hit her on the arm. "You're really mean to me. I did study before exam, okay?" I said and rolled my eyes at her. "Study?" Her eyes narrowed, and she looked at me from head to toe. "Rishell, you're not the kind of person who reviews lessons." I looked at her for a few minutes before snorting. I don't really like to study lessons but since I failed the exam, I realized that I shoul

I haven't seen him for a few days but he looks different. He got a haircut. If before he looked like a domineering CEO, now he looks like a member of the military.It's good for him because he looks like a member of the AFP. I raised my eyebrows when I saw that his muscles were bulging because his clothes were so tight.But my eyes narrowed when I noticed that his forehead was slightly wrinkled while looking directly into my eyes. He doesn't seem to want to see me, huh? When I remembered what happened the last time we met, both of my cheeks suddenly warmed up. I looked away. I suddenly felt ashamed especially since I rejected Kervy less than a month ago."Oh, why do you look at me like that?" I asked annoyed. I folded my arms and glared at him.He looked at me from head to toe. "You don't mind if I see you like this, Larica?" He folded his arms so I frowned even more."I'm dressed nicely," I said.He looked me seriously in the eyes for a few seconds before the corner of his lips lifte
For The Stars Have Sinned Chapter 27: One night near the paddy field
I couldn't save the merch I bought before. Fortunately, I hid the gifts from CLGF fans well so they were not burned along with the other merchs. Even though I wanted to stop the maids but I couldn't because Mama was there, looking like everyone's her enemy.I just sighed and looked at the dark sky.The wind was blowing hard and the rain was pouring heavily. I can almost feel the vibration in the handy umbrella I use. The field of the University is so wide that I have been having difficulty walking since the pathwalk is muddy. I'm afraid the doll shoes will get dirty and I'm going to receive another sermon at home.I shut my eyes and sigh again. The campus gate is still far away but the hem of my skirt is almost wet. I have no choice but to run to the campus gate. I don't mind about the splash of mud every time my shoes hit the wet ground."Here I come!" I whispered and took refuge in the waiting shed outside the campus gate. Finally arrived!I folded the umbrella and shook my skirt. M

"The next food ration is at twelve o'clock," he said. He placed the tray on the bedside table. "Do you need anything else?" he added.I shook my head and sighed. The wounds I got that night were painful even after I took painkillers. The nurse approached the bed and put a pillow on the headboard for me to lean on.I closed my eyes and asked. "Have you contacted my parents?""Not yet. But the department is trying to retrieve your cellphone data." He glanced at me for a moment. "You really don't memorize your parents' numbers?"I shook my head. But I stopped when I remembered something. "That friend of mine. I memorized his number.""Good." He picked up the pen and paper hanging at the foot of the bed. "Write the contact number and we'll tell your friend you're here.""Okay thank you."I accepted the paper and pen and wrote down Tiden's number. His number is the only thing I memorized on my contact list. Suddenly, I stopped writing for a moment. I missed Tiden who was so overprotective.
For The Stars Have Sinned Chapter 29: His care
My parents and the officer who questioned me talked for a while. I didn't inquire about what they had discussed because I was busy listening to Tiden's stories. I just smiled as he talked about his experiences lately, especially the preparation for their upcoming concert in Bohol.After a while, the officer approached us. My parents weren't with him so I think they were busy talking to the doctor. The man closed his eyes. "Many crimes have occurred in the paddy field in Baranggay Masulob-on. Just last night, the precinct received a report. Two women were raped."I looked down. The truth is that I don't know why the officer was talking about that but I breathed a sigh of relief knowing that the police knew what was going on in that area. Fortunately, I ran away from the covered court last night and didn't let the drunk men lay their hands on me. I may have become a victim of evil intentions."What are your plans for the place, Sir?" I asked and played with my fingers."We'll continue o
For The Stars Have Sinned Chapter 30: Tending wounds
After that incident, Papa bought me a new phone. At first he was angry because when I needed the phone it was broken. If only my phone had worked that night, I would have called them. I just shrugged off Papa's sermon as he looked for a good phone that won't break easily.I stared at the new phone. I've changed phones for several times since I went to the dock. I sighed and looked at Mama again. I smiled stiffly and scratched the back of my neck. I don't know if she will be happy or not if I'll ask her to let me go visit Bohol."It'll only be two days, Ma. Besides, Tiden will be there," I said. Tiden has already informed my parents and I know that Mama only gave him her approval because he contacted them when I was lost in Oslob one night.She stared at me silently for a few seconds before looking away. "Did I agree?"I blinked. "What, Mom?"She sighed. "Don't forget that I'm still not willing to let you fangirl, Rishel. Even if we have money to buy concert tickets, it's still not go
