Chapter 71: Not really alone I was absent from class for a month because I had been mourning the loss of my parents all November. I said that to Prem, Boun, and Xenon, as well as to our subject teachers. They understood me and told me to just withdraw from the assessments when I returned to class. Many sympathized with me and even my cousins, aunts and uncles on my Mom and Dad's side went to the house. I wasn’t close to them in the first place but I feel warmth when they all hug me and say I should just be strong and move forward. Honestly, I feel numb. I don't know how I feel if I still feel resentment but the last time I cried was when I was still in the hospital. Mommy G and uncle took care of all the paperwork and such because Mom and Dad had some things left in Canada. They said that they would take care of everything so I don't have to worry. Mom and Dad's secretary also called and found out what had happened because they had also heard about it. Mommy G said that they would li

Chapter 73: Opportunity "So that's what happened?" he asked and I nodded. "I didn't expect all that to happen in your life when I was only gone for a few months." I stared at him and couldn't help but to be amazed. If he used to be so simple, now his hair is colored. It was light brown and I think that adds to how bright his smiles are. He looks so confident and now that we are here in a restaurant, the people around us can't help but look at him. He stood out the most. But despite what had changed in him, his smile was still the same that reached his eyes. I smiled. "It looks like your life is fine now. You look so well raised. You made the right decision to go to Singapore. For the sake of your siblings and Mom. How are they?" I asked and he laughed. "Getting better, indeed. Mom's condition is stable and she is already teaching my siblings when it comes to their assignments. Well ... I guess I made the right decision. My father and I have a pretty good relationship. Of course, I

Chapter 75: Ten years "Two, please back me up here. We're going to get this one down." I hastened to press the moving keys on my keyboard and went to where One was. Three, Four, and Five have also arrived and I think they have knocked down their counter opponents. I smiled when One finally made the last move and lost the opponent's life bar! "And Sunny Snakes won the national championship again in this annual Lit Fire Singapore tournament! These ladies won't disappoint!" "Right partner! With those moves that are amazing, who isn't nervous, right?" The five of us stretched and laughed. These companions of mine’s skills have not really faded. "What for dinner? Chicken and beer?" Myo asked, whose code name was Five. Lai winced, whose codename was Three. "I'm going to have wings because we always have chicken. Why not a hotpot?" "Sure, I'll go with a hotpot. Let's have chicken and beer so that Myo doesn't frown anymore." Guan teased, whose code name was One. And because of that, we

Chapter 77: Photoshoot "Finally! The audience will see your pictures too, Kira!" Lai said happily that I just shook my head. I heard the photographer laugh. "This is the first time that an all-girls team will be competing internationally, of course they will be amazed! Your fans will increase even more, especially the guys out there who have ideal girls that love e-games! " I secretly rolled my eyes and hopelessly smiled at what he said. I no longer know how I should react there. Should I be glad or… nervous? Today, the main Lit Fire agency staff coming from the headquarters in the US contacted all teams coming from different countries to conduct a photoshoot to be posted in all social media accounts. This is the first time that Sunny Snakes will be posted internationally. Since I wasn't allowed to compete often, though I felt sorry for them, so now it's really our first time to conduct this kind of photoshoot. We've been called as early as seven in the morning, sharp. That's why I

Chapter 79: Old friends "It's time for you to come here. We'll tell you more because you've been gone for a long time." I smiled. "It's close. Just a little patience. Let's have coffee?" I asked and showed him my lifted cup of coffee. "When did you love coffee? You haven't wanted that kind of drink since then." I heaved a sigh. "Well, I have to stay awake for several hours for game practices. I'm used to it." Xenon and I continued to talk through video calls while I ate bread and drank coffee. It was so early, five in the morning. Though, about thirty minutes before seven, I will go to the headquarters to practice. Our game practices need to really improve. It looks like my eyes will be drained again… but I used glasses while playing. Since that day, I talked to Prem, Boun, and Xenon, and that has become more frequent. They told me a lot about what happened on recognition day. They even mentioned that everyone was surprised that I didn't attend it even though I’m important in tha
