– (FLASHBACK) – .... .... ....Isabelle ‘Belle’ Arcadia’s P.O.V.---I change my look, even myself for the better.I started skincare, went to the dermatologist and salon. I always make sure that the day doesn’t go by that I don’t do skincare to take care of my skin and keep it smooth. I also went to the gym if I have extra time, I also exercise and diet to improve my body. I no longer wear enormous glasses, I wear contact lenses and the hair that used to always be braided is now loose and sometimes I curl the ends for a nice look.I do all these things for Alex to notice me. But my number one priority is still to rename John Andrew Cabrera to rank one in our entire batch.Entering the classroom, I immediately noticed my classmates looking at me.“Wow,”“Who are you?”“Are you a classmate of

 - (FLASHBACK: New school year) - .... .... .... Isabelle Arcadia’s P.O.V. -I am still staring at the bulletin board for grade twelve like me.I can not believe it.I read again which section I am in and if there is really only one section for the two of us, but how many times have I read it like that again I still can’t believe that Alex Shin and I will be in the same class this school year.I slapped my cheeks lightly. This should not be a dream.“Ouch,” I laughed, whispering to myself.My little slaps hurt me. It meant I wasn’t dreaming, it meant I could be in a classroom with Alex. I already have a chance to notice him again.I happily left in front of the bulletin board and went to our classroom.During the summer vacation, I tried to forget how I felt about Alex because I knew it had no destination in the end. I&rs

 - (Note: This chapter is the continuation of chapter 34) - .… .... ....Patrice Mauricio P.O.V. -It didn’t at once sink in on me that Isabelle slapped me on. Why did she do that? Have I done anything wrong? Did I have to tell her how hurt she felt?When my spirit awoke to the slap Isabelle gave me, I immediately took my belongings and chased her down the hallway.“Isabelle!”Isabelle didn’t stop walking, so I ran towards her.When he was about to go down, she went down the stairs.“Isabelle, what’s the problem?” I asked directly.When I looked at her face, I let go of the arm I was holding on her. Her eyes are red from crying.“Isabelle, what’s the problem?” I calmly asked. “I do not know.” she calmly answered and then left me confused.What doe

 Patrice’s P. O.V.-I couldn’t speak after Andrew told me why he had the answer key in hand and at the same time, I was amazed by him.The answer key he held is not to him if it wasn’t for one of his friends, whose name was Gabriel Levious. And, if I’m not mistaken, Gabriel Levious, that Andrew’s friend, was already at rank number four in our entire batch.“He was under pressure. He was mentally blocked when he took the special exam during the last prelim exam, so now that our preliminary l exam is near, he is nervous. That’s why he thought of taking the answer key of their exam but I caught him… When I caught him, he was very scared and his whole body almost went cold. That’s why before he could use the answer key he stole and before he would be caught by others or anyone, I had the courage to return it.”“But what if someone else saw you there? What if I didn’t

Patrice’s P.O.V. -“Strawberry babe!” Shin shouted from the other end of the hallway.That is why it is not surprising that the other students here in the hallway also looked at him.“Strawberry babe!” Shin shouted happily.I rolled my eyeballs before continuing to walk. What was his problem or what did he eat and was he so energetic this morning?“Wait for me, my strawberry babe!”Arrgg! Shin’s voice was annoying to add to his calling me his invented endearment.  Endearment that hurts the ears to hear.Entering the classroom, my eyes rolled in surprise as my classmates approached me at the same time until they cornered me in the middle of our whiteboard.“W-Why? Why?” I ask them all.Will they kick me out of this classroom? It’s not possible, and then I did nothing bad to them. I also don’t remembe
