Kira’s POVI lost my appetite to eat when Vince suddenly left. Adding to that is the unexplainable tension between each of us here that I can’t understand where it is coming from.That’s why I decided to leave as well. But it seems like I’m not the only one troubled here. Because I also noticed the concern of others.However, I didn’t expect Mikan to join me.Damn.I hesitated at first. But because I didn’t want others to notice my uneasiness towards her, I just nodded and let her be.“What is it this time?” I asked her the moment we got outside the dining hall. I kept my gaze straight ahead while walking quickly. I don’t want to be rude, but I just can’t help it right now. This isn’t like me.I felt her shrug, her arm still clinging to mine. It seems like she doesn’t mind that I’m practically dragging her along. I also noticed the hostile glares we received from everyone we passed by. While the others started whispering to each other.“You said you had something to do. I just want to
Hiro’s POVMy heart aches upon seeing the two of them that close. But I can’t do anything else but dream that she would be smiling at me, talking to me, accompanying me, and holding my arm instead.I clenched my fists. But before I was about to do something that I know I would regret later, I decided to just leave. I didn’t pay much attention to Nicole when she noticed me.She looked so frustrated. But I don’t have time to explain right now. All I want is to be alone and run away from all of them.So, I quickly ran away. I had no idea where I should go.I ran here and there. I walked here and there. I bumped into some people, but they were the ones apologizing to me even though I was the one at fault. Some even bowed down while asking for forgiveness.“Hi, Prince Hiro! Want to have some fun?”I stopped walking when a tall girl suddenly appeared beside me.I gave her a bored look. I didn’t pay much attention to her overall appearance. But she could have been beautiful if she hadn’t tur
Nicole Jane’s POVI immediately sprawled on my bed and closed my eyes the moment I entered my room. I feel so drained and exhausted.“Hey, Nicole Jane Parker! Don’t sleep yet!”Mikan pinched both of my cheeks, but I didn’t budge. My bed feels like heaven that I can just stay here forever and sleep the hell out of it.I kept my eyes closed until I felt the mattress move. I grinned. It seems that she also got tired of bothering me.Exam week has just ended. I’ve been in zombie mode for a week because I rarely had any sleep due to reviewing. All of us didn’t even have much time to talk or bond with each other in the past few days.I was slowly being engulfed by drowsiness when suddenly...“Will you wake up, or are you going to be deaf?”I jolted up as I heard her loud and irritating voice. My ears are particularly sensitive to noise right now.“What the hell? Where did you find that thing?” I glared at her, then at the microphone she’s holding. No wonder my eardrums were almost shattered
Miley’s POVI looked directly into Kira’s eyes and cherished the opportunity to dance with the man I love for the first time. Somehow, this night feels so magical.The events unfolded quickly. It feels like just yesterday when I finally mustered the courage to express my true feelings to him.Yes, I had already confessed my feelings to him. At first, I hesitated because I was afraid that he might distance himself or avoid me.But I took the risk. And to be honest, the result is not what I expected it to be.Even though I didn’t receive a response from him, it’s just fine. It wasn’t a question that he needed to answer anyway. Secondly, I know that his heart still belonged to Nics. It still hurt. But I promised that I would help him get over her.We had a proper and serious conversation. He explained everything about him and Mikan to me. He also told me that Mikan is just a friend to him.But me? I am somehow what they call a special friend. Knowing that I’m special to him brought enoug
Nicole Jane’s POVTwo days have passed since the party happened, and everything has returned to normal. Most of the students are engaged in conversations about the recent exams. Some are hanging out in the field to rest, while others are playing games.They are all enjoying themselves and laughing. However, you won’t hear them talking about the previous student’s night.I walked towards our classroom with my head down when someone suddenly grabbed my arm. I looked up and saw Mikan pouting beside me.“What really happened last Friday? The party didn’t push through, but no matter how hard I think, I can’t remember anything. It’s weird,” she said, tilting her head and holding her chin, lost in thought.I just shrugged my shoulders and continued walking until we reached and entered our classroom. Mikan kept talking until we sat down, but I couldn’t understand what she was saying. My mind was preoccupied with so many things.Even when the class started, I remained silent, contemplating the
Kyle Ethan’s POV“I’m sorry, son. But none of them is the one we’re looking for. I haven’t seen anything suspicious in their past or even in their thoughts,” Dad’s face showed disappointment.“It’s okay, Dad. You already did your part. You should go back now to the palace and take some rest. It will take some time for you to regain your strength again.”He nodded and gave me a gentle pat on the shoulder. I then turned to Althea, who was growing weaker in a corner, supported by her twin sister, Athena.“You too, Althea. You’ve used up a lot of your powers already.”She just managed to give me a weak smile.Our companions, the protectors and royal guards, escorted the students back to their respective rooms after which they will lose some of their memories again.“Is Nicole still not back? Too bad, I haven’t seen her today,” Dad looked around, and I did the same.I sighed when I realized she hadn’t returned yet. “Seems like she’s enjoying her chat and hanging out with Steph somewhere. D
Nicole Jane’s POV“Where are we going?” I asked Kyle, furrowing my brow as we walked along the path leading out of the academy.“You’ll see,” he smiled and reached for my hand, giving it a squeeze.I was about to say something when I yawned involuntarily. It’s only 7 a.m. in the morning, and I’m still sleepy. Why did he suddenly come to my room at six in the morning to disturb me and invite me to go out?I rubbed my eyes, but they kept getting heavier.“It’s probably better if you get some sleep. The journey ahead will be quite long. I’ll just wake you up once we get there.”I simply nodded. I wasn’t in the mood to argue anyway. I trust him no matter where he takes me.I leaned my head against the window and soon drifted off to sleep.I didn’t know how long I had been sleeping. I just woke up to the feeling of someone tapping my cheek.“Wake up already, sleepyhead.”I blinked, trying to adjust my sight to the sunlight that greeted me. But my eyes widened when I saw how close his face
Nicole Jane’s POVI’ve been staring at the ceiling for a while now, contemplating whether I should even go to class or just stay inside my room all dayIt’s been four days since Kyle planned the surprise for me to see my parents. Kyle also accompanied me to the airport on Monday to send off Mom and Dad. After that, we went straight to the academy.I woke up early this morning to bid farewell to Kyle and our friends because they have plans for the day. But since then, no matter how hard I try, I couldn’t fall back to sleep.“Nicole, I’ll be going to the palace. The king summoned me. I’ve already informed our teachers that I won’t be able to attend today. Are you okay staying here?”Steph startled me when she suddenly spoke. She’s been staying with me in this room for a few weeks now, but I still haven’t gotten used to her sudden appearances or when she speaks out of the blue.“Yes, of course. Don’t worry. I’ll just stay here in school, and I’m not going anywhere.” I smiled and winked a
