Chapter 39: Protector
The bell rings as I close the door from my locker. With a sigh, my feet pace back into the classroom as I get my textbooks close to my chest. My hand dives in to the pocket of my jacket, clasping the cellphone from the inside I pull it out. There is no new messages nor calls, Tybalt did pick me up this morning but he has not texted me after dropping me off. And I still haven't talked with him about that teddy bear.. bringing it up to anybody isn't as easy as I thought it would be. Only Harry and Eve are the ones who know about the stuff toy, if I talk about it with Tybalt now, I'm scared he might get mad at me for taking my time telling him I'd received a teddy bear as well as a note from a stranger, or as Harry and Eve would say, secret admirer.
This is killing me, and really serious. Who, in their right state of mind, would give somebody a toy with a hidden camera? Does that mean.. they have been watching me these days? But who? Why? I don't remember fighting wi

"Hey..." my voice came as sweet and soft as I speak to the phone. Tybalt is on the other end, he had asked to take me out for the day and now he is calling to maybe know if I am all ready. "Are you here yet?"I hear a little noise, and his soft voice that said "Yes, darling." he grunted before adding, "I'm just having a hard time finding for my wrist watch. I know for sure I left it in here.." A soft giggle came out from me. "I'll be out there in a sec, let me help you find for it." I ended the call right away, putting the cellular inside my pouch as I give myself a final check from the mirror. Turning to the side to see if everything looks great, I sure do not want to hear from my date that I look odd or anything. Closing the door behind me, the gray car that is parked just in front of my house came into sight, and I know it is him. Marching over towards it, his head popped from the window, and when his eyes landed on me, his pink lips had drawn a smile across his be

"What!?"I jump. "Shh! Keep it down! We're outside!" Evette pulls me on the arm. "Does this mean, you're Tybalt's girlfriend now!?" "I... don't know.""What do you mean you don't know?" Harry raises an eyebrow at me. "You let him kiss you and you don't know whether or not you're his girlfriend?" "Relax, it's just.. it all happened so suddenly, that I..." My eyes shut closed. "blacked out." "What!?" "You see, I was dizzy! I had a little amount of alcohol, may I remind you? Of course I'd pass out, I was drunk!" "You dumbo!" Harry flicked me on the forehead. "You shall never drink again! Who knows what my brother had done to you while you were out?" The concern and love from Harry's words, I can feel all of them and thank him for it. "Nothing happened, trust me. My mother told me that he's brought me home. Dressed but unconscious." The three of us continued to walk down the halls. Class is already over. We are heading out to the gate
The Last Cinderella Chapter 42: Let's Run Away
Tybalt had never unlinked his fingers with mine the whole ride; but I would not say that I do not like it. It feels like yesterday.. that this guy can barely exchange words with me, let alone look at me in the eyes. They were always anywhere but on me. Our relationship is so cliché— hate to love. I truly disliked him when he was totally against Milo and I, as if he had already predicted we would never last long. Tybalt had never shown me he liked me, not ever. That is why I could not believe it when he told me that he did for quite a while already. It was totally something I never thought could happen, but here we are, locking fingers with the Tybalt John Ellis and dolling myself up for him. I can only wish that we last longer than my last relationship. Arriving at the set, my eyes spotted Odette and her boyfriend. Although sat by each other, they seem very distant. They are not even looking into each other's eyes, there is no fire at all. I thought, love is sweeter the second time a
The Last Cinderella Chapter 43: Anxiety
"Are you crazy?" Milo pretended not to hear, slouching on the seat as Odette speaks. "Didn't you say you'd never tell a soul?" "I wanted them to think." "Milo, you're getting us in trouble!""Relax. Lorien won't suspect a thing, she'll believe whatever Tybalt will say at this time.""How can you be so confident?" Milo shoots her a glance. "Because that's how she is." ***"Where are we?"The door slams shut. Tybalt walking towards the entrance, hands inside the pockets of his jeans before looking over his shoulder. "Come on, it'll be fun." he chuckles, extending a hand as I take it with a smile. It was a skating rink. It was freezing, yet Tybalt seems unbothered, untying his shoe laces and then putting on the ones meant for this place. The second he was done, he helped me with mine. "Take this." A blue thick coat embraced me. Tybalt must have sensed that I am cold and thankful for it. He skates backwards, far from where I sat, then spins beautifully. He sure is different from how
The Last Cinderella Chapter 44: Business Proposal
"Hey!" Harry pops in front of me without warning, making me jump as he throws a shoulder on me. "What do you say, we stop and grab a bite on the way home?" "Is there never a time that you are not hungry, Harold?" "Yes, apparently, Miss Gilbert. Now why don't we go, hm? My stomach is grumbling." The vibration from my pocket is not stopping. Pulling out my cell, it is a message from Milo. He has been sending me texts and even started calling me, whatever his reason is, I do not wish to hear. Everything between us has already been settled. Does he not have Odette? Why is he being like this all of a sudden? "Lorien?" "Yeah?" Harry is holding out the car door, I realize he was waiting for me to hop in. "You coming?""May... I'll pass today, guys."Evette's head pops out through the window. "Is something wrong? Are you okay?" I nodded. "Yeah! I'm fine! There's just... My mom asked me to go to the supermarket for her today. We're out of tissue paper. I'm really sorry." "Okay then, be
The Last Cinderella Chapter 45: Business Proposal (2)
The loud banging on my bedroom's door woke me up. I checked the time on the clock, 6:45 in the morning. "I told you we'll be leaving early today!" My father yells from the other side. The day has not even started, and yet my mood is sour already. "I want to see you downstairs in ten minutes!" The knocking disappears along with his heavy footsteps. Throwing a towel over my shoulder, I get inside the shower and wore whatever I got from the cabinet. Milo and I already knew each other, what's the point of dressing up? He'll be okay if I wear jeans and a shirt. "Oh Lorien...— what are you wearing!?" my mother exclaims, looking over her shoulder and pulls me back into my room. "You can't wear this! You'll be meeting—""Don't we already know each other? Milo won't be bothered." "Your dad is not going to let you leave like this! Please, do not anger him any more. He's already like this because he knows for a fact that you're against of this engagement." I raise a brow. "Oh, am I? Gosh.. I
The Last Cinderella Chapter 46: AFFAIR
"What color do you think would go with your dress?" mother asks, showing me two shades of lipstick with a smile across her face. Today, I am getting ready for my and Milo's engagement party. Tybalt has been avoiding since the announcement, calling him on his cell never worked once. I can understand though. If I learned that my boyfriend is going to get engaged to another girl, I would be acting the same as him. However, it is just really sad how he tries his best to reject me. "Honey.. I know it's hard. But I need you to bear with this for a little longer." Mom rests her warm hand over my shoulder while I relieve a sigh. "Milo doesn't want to do this either, does he? I'm pretty sure he'll call this off in an instant." "I don't know, mom.." My feet pace around the room, fingernails in between my teeth before running a hand through my hair. "Tybalt hasn't been answering any of my calls. It's making my anxiety worse, and Milo... he doesn't seem to be against of this engagement.""What
The Last Cinderella Chapter 47: What Lies Behind the Lies
"Lorien, I ask you to marry me." Milo kneels to the ground, right hand digging into his pocket and then pulled out a diamond ring. My head turned up once more but Tybalt has already gone, my eyes laid down on my parents, father was mouthing for me to say yes and accept Milo's proposal. Flashes of what I think are hundred cameras surround the both of us, and this no doubt, is being aired live on TV. Milo remains on that position with hopeful eyes, the words he told me earlier plays like a broken record and I just cannot humiliate him here. People already have been hating me for dating him in secret, I cannot add up more to that. "Are you getting this?" "Is the camera rolling?" "We're live, aren't we?" My shaking right hand comes forward, as Milo's face lights up with glee and carefully slides the ring down my finger. His strong arms pulled me into his chest as the crowd begins to roar. This choice was mine. I should not blame anybody for this. ***"Here you are." Milo breaks the
