CASSANDRA's POV
"Is Khai absent?" Professor Sally asks after we submitted our papers for the quiz. She may be noticed that there is no Khai's paper.
He is not here yet. Our class this morning will end in just a few minutes, but he is not coming back yet. Where did he go?
"No, Professor. He is not absent." It was Von who answer.
"Then? Where is he? Why is he not around?"
"Did he go out?" Sab asks me in a whisper.
"I guess, maybe," I answer while shrugging my shoulders.
"Uh... He went outside, Professor. I don't know why he is not coming back yet." Von answer.
"Okay. Tell him to see me later. I'll give him a different quiz."
"Okay, Professor."
"Alright. This is all for today. You are dismissed."
"Thank you, and goodbye, Profess
"Because I love you,""What?" I furrowed my forehead. "What did you say?""I love you," he repeated, and it makes me laughs in sarcasm, while I wipe my tears."You love me?" I scoffed. "That's off funny. So, you know how to joke right now, huh. That's cool." I sarcastically say."I am not joking, Cali. I am telling you the truth. I love you. I still do—"I slap him again. He grunts because of pain. I don't care if his face is painful. I am angry."You do? You still do? How is that possible, huh!?"He looks at me. Tears are also visible in his eyes. "It's possible because it never changes. My feelings for you never change, Cali.""So, you're cheating on Vivian?""No. I'm not. Okay. This is the thing that you need to know. Vivian and I are not together anymore. Our relationship ended a long time ago. It's a long story, but
[FLASHBACK] THREE YEARS AGO~/But she wears shorts skirts I wear T-shirtsShe's Cheer Captain, and I'm on the bleachersDreaming about the day when you wake up and find That what you're looking for has been here the whole time//If you could seeThat I'm the oneWho understands you.Been here all along.So, why can't you seeYou belong with me,You belong with me/I wake up because a loud voice dominates my ears. Who is that singing in early in the morning? Removing the blanket that covered my face, I slowly open my eyes and saw a girl dancing wildly in front of my human size mirror while singing. "Excuse me? Who are you?" I ask her, and when she turns around, my eyes broadened to see
@MONDAY Our class ended this morning, and Steph and I are here in the school cafeteria eating lunch. Khai is not here yet. He did not attend our class this morning, but he will be attending this afternoon."Where is he now?" Steph asks me in the middle of her eating."He is on his way. Let us wait for him." I answer."Oh, okay. But why he didn't attend the morning class?""I don't know either. He didn't tell me." "Did you asked him?""Uh, nope. I did not.""Idiot. How can you know the reason? You didn't even ask him.""Well, I think it is not necessary to ask him about the reason why. It may be personal or what, so, I don't want to intervene.""Wow, wow, wow! Cassandra, is that you?" "Wh
CASSANDRA's POV"What do you want to talk about?" I ask Vanessa when we got to the school backyard, where no one else but only the two of us."Have a seat first," she invited me to sit on the wooden long chair beneath the pine tree."Thanks," I say as I sit down next to her."The truth is, I wanted to say sorry to you and the others." She started."For what?" I look at her, bewildered."For what happened about your friend, Khai."I gasp silently. Oh, right. She the reason why it happened."Zion is my ex-boyfriend. After our one year and a half relationship, we broke up because he cheated on me. And now, he wants me back." She says, letting a deep sigh. There is no trace of sadness that can be seen in her face but rather disturbed as if she is thinking about how to get rid of her ex-boyfriend.Her situatio
CASSANDRA's POVThe day ended quickly. In our whole classes in the afternoon, Khai did not attend. Probably because of what happened. To be honest, I feel guilty for what I did to him and for what I said, but, yeah he cannot blame me. As much as I wanted not to get angry with him, I cannot. Because every time I remember what he did to me in the past, it makes me want to beat him, in that way I can make him feel what he made me feel before.Particularly when I found out his reasons after three years — why he choose her over. I was even angrier with him. It's really funny."Have you chose a song yet?" Steph raises a question as she sits on the sofa, placing the bowl that has a chip, then she took the remote to turn on the TV. We are in the lounge area, and I am searching for the song that we will be going to perform tomorrow in our music class."Not yet. I'm trying to find
THE NEXT MORNING. CASSANDRA's POVI was walking in the lobby, leading the way back to our room section when I met Vanessa. It's her again. "Hey, Cass!" She greets me with a bright smile. She looks so blooming today, huh? What happened? "Hey," I greet her back. "Are you going to class?""Uh, yes. Why?""Great! Can you give this to Khai?" She hands me a paper bag. "It's a sandwich. I made for it him. I did not catch up with him when I wake up, so, I'll give it to you to give it to him. Can you?"What did she say? She did not catch up with him when she wakes up? Is she saying that she sleepover at Khai's place? "Did you sleep at his place?" I can't help but raise a question. She chuckles, "yeah, I did. Actually, I did not want to because you know it's awkward since Khai is a guy and I'm a girl, but he insisted. Keep this a secret. Okay? I'm going. I'll see you guys later." She says with a sweet smile th
"So, why did you brought me here?" I ask Khai while raising my eyebrows when we got to the field, right here under the mango tree. I don't have any idea why he brought me here.He sits on the grass, placing his small shoulder bag on the grass, beside him.So, he has no plan to answer my question? He was been ignoring questions, huh. Fine. I'm going to leave then."Jeez," I murmur and was about to walk away but he holds my hand."Where are you going? We just got here. Sit, beside me." He says, letting my hand go."Why did you brought me here?" I ask him again instead of sitting on the grass next to him."I'm going to put cream on my wounds." He says, makes my eyebrows lift. Seriously?"You are going to treat your wounds?""Yeah," he answers and took his bag. He opens it and gets the cream inside.I scoff. He is crazy. If that is the
CASSANDRA's POV"Let's sit over there!" Sab beams while pointing the seat at the back of the seat of the soccer players. We are here at the soccer field, to watch the practice of the players. Of course, I will be seeing Khai. As much as I don't want to watch, I have no choice since Steph is in her practice and I have to wait for her. I was supposed to watch her practice, but non-cheerleaders are not allowed to stay inside of their practice room. If I wait for her in the car, it will be boring. Moreover, Sab is forcing me to watch the practice, to support our friends. Jeez, it's not the final game yet, but anyway, since I am here already, we are already sitting on the bleachers, I will just watch.Well, the players are not here yet. They are still at their locker, changing uniforms."Here, let's take a picture!" Sab beams, then she took her phone and positioned ourselves to take a photo."
