Hamaliel – the angel of logic. He brings clarity and harmony to our thoughts. I felt numb, my brain refused to function, my knees felt like they wouldn’t be able to bear my weight any minute. The hall was abuzz with people laughing, chatting, shrieking and singing. But I wasn’t hearing, wasn’t seeing anything. The world seemed to be a blur and everything was moving in slow motion. I felt like I was in a tragic film. And the only difference between a heartbreaking movie scene and my reality was the cinematic score.I blindly walked towards the girls’ room and locked myself up in a cubicle.He’s back. He’s perfectly fine!I felt that moment of weakness as happiness, sadness and relief enveloped me all at once. I silently let go of the tears that I was holding back since I saw his face again.Hunter made it!His operation was successful. He could be whol

Chapter Eleven
“Did you have a fight or something?” Chaise asked. “He sounded like he wanted to ram his car into a tree.”Denise shook her head. “We did not even speak to each other the whole way. He’s just a jerk sometimes. Well, he always seemed angry. He outcasts himself, engages in fights. And in his condition… he should have been very careful.”“Condition?” Chaise echoed as we all went inside my house.I closed the door behind me. I didn’t have to wait for Denise’s response. I know what she meant by Hunter’s condition. He just had a successful corneal transplant. He should take care of his eyes because a simple head trauma alone might cause him to lose his eyesight again.“Hunter had a car accident that killed my aunt, his mom,” Denise said. “It… blinded him.”Chaise’s eyes widened. “Blind? He didn’t look blind to me.”

Chapter Twelve
He looked like he found it literally annoying to have a little bit of physical contact with me.“Are you going to collide with me every single day throughout the entire school year?” he asked with a bored expression on his face. “Let me know the program, so I’ll be prepared.”“I’m… I’m sorry,” I said in a weak voice.He turned away from me and scooped himself some mashed potato. I was frozen in my place, unable to make myself move. I just stood there staring at him with a dazed expression on my face. When he turned back to me, he saw that I hadn’t budged. He raised a brow and then as if realizing I wasn’t going to move soon, he moved past me and never looked back.I stared at the food in front of me, not really finding anything interesting to eat now. I had completely lost my appetite.“Hey, dude,” a guy beside me said. “You’re holding up the line.&rdqu

Chapter Thirteen
Leliel – an angel protector of the night.The minute I called him, he stopped what he was doing but he didn’t turn around to face me. He took something out from his locker.“What do you want?” he asked in a cold voice.Yes. What do I want?I drew in a deep breath again. “Do you… do you know who I am?” It was the only question I could think of… simple, short and direct to the point.He paused for a second, but he still didn’t turn to look at me. I waited for like an eternity before he closed his locker with a stronger force than required and then finally he turned to me. A cold expression was pasted on his face. He stared at me for a moment with narrowed eyes, as if he was trying his best to recognize me, remember me.“No,” he finally said shaking his head. “Apparently, I don’t know you at all.” I thought my heart broke at that instanc

Chapter Fourteen
My heart pounded in my chest at the mere mention of his name. My knees already felt weak and I was sure that my cheeks were turning pinkish. I was quite certain that I wouldn’t be able to eat dinner properly if Hunter was sitting a few feet away from me.“Can we eat first and you call him later?” Denise asked, rolling her eyes.“Denise…” her mother sighed. “You know… Hunter’s having a difficult time coping up with everything. He constantly needs warm company, right Alice?”Susan looked at me, expecting me to agree with her. “I… I guess.” I tried to smile.“Have dinner now. I will call Hunter,” Susan said, not giving any of us time to argue.Denise groaned when her mother was gone. She pulled me to sit on one of the chairs. “Come, eat quickly so we can go to my room!”I couldn’t agree with her more. I was hungry too and I knew that t

Chapter Fifteen
Zaphkiel - archangel whose name means "the knowledge of God."My heart pounded inside my ribcage and I thought I forgot how to breathe. Even without looking, I knew what… or rather, who I bumped into.I stood still, unable to move, afraid to make a sound. I felt him move in front of me. He didn’t take a step back though. Instead, I felt his hand entrap mine against his bare chest, holding me in place. Then, I felt his fingers graze my cheek, almost touching my scars. Then his hand touched my nape lightly. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes.His touch was electric and my knees were slowly turning to jelly, I was almost sure I wouldn’t be able to support my own weight any minute.In the dark… maybe Hunter would remember what it was like between us. Maybe when he couldn’t see my face, his touch would remember who I once was in his life.I feel his breath against my cheek. It smelled fresh and mint

Naya'il - the angel of testing the devotion or faithAs I watched her embrace Hunter, I felt reality sink in. That girl was as beautiful as I was flawed. She looked perfectly matched for Hunter, the way I knew I would never be.I turned away from them, gathered my tray and quickly dashed towards the next exit. Tears blinded my eyes. I tried to blink them back before I had the misfortune of running into either Chaise or Denise who would definitely ask what was going on.For a moment there, I thought that Hunter was going to finally speak to me… that he finally remembered that I was his girlfriend once upon a time in his life when he was not as perfect as he is now.I wiped the tears that rolled down my cheeks. Hunter may seem perfect now that he got his eyesight back, but damn! He was a much more beautiful person when he was blind and had nothing to offer me but the goodness of his heart.I made it through the entire day wit

Chapter Seventeen
I didn’t know what was going on between Hunter and Tania. Whether they were still together or they were fighting. But whatever it was, I only knew that at this moment, it was her running after him, trying to calm him down, easing his pain and making him feel better… not me.I looked up at Chaise slowly. He was looking at the door after Tania. Then he turned to me. “I don’t understand how any girl can keep up with that moron.”I sighed. “Maybe he wasn’t always like that. Maybe he was just having a rough day.”Chaise actually laughed. “I think he was having a bad year!”“Well, Denise already told us what he went through. It’s not easy,” I said. “Trust me. I’ve been there. There are some wounds you don’t recover from.”Chaise reached for my hand across the table. “Whenever you feel like hell, or if your past comes back haunting you… don&

Chapter Eighteen
I shrieked. “What the hell do you think you’re doing, Hunter Vaughn?”He started carrying me towards the gift shop. “You need to get a new pair of slippers, otherwise, you will burn the soles of your feet. I’m taking you to the shop, whether you like it or not.”“Put me down!” I protested and started struggling in his arms.“Sssshhhh!” He tightened his grip on me. “Hush, Allison! I don’t want to drop you.”“Just put me down!”“I will. When we reach the shop—where the floor is cold.”Hopeless, I crossed my arms over my bare tummy and allowed him to carry me. The blood beneath my skin began to heat up and I’m sure that it wasn’t from the sun. I felt particularly self-conscious because of what I was wearing. I looked away from him, afraid that he might see the violent blush on my face.I thought the gift shop was near b

Uzziel – an angel whose name means "the strength of God." The following week, I worked with the local band that Denise hired to perform at the concert. They’re called ‘Dark Rose’. I was quite happy because Dominic, the guy I used to work with at Strung, was part of it.“I have missed you, girl!” he greeted me with a hug.“You too!” I hugged him back.I heard Chaise coughing behind me, forcing me to pull away from Dominic’s embrace.“Oh, Dom, this is Chaise. Chaise, this is Dominic. We worked together at Strung.”Chaise shook Dominic’s hand. I didn’t miss the warning look he gave him. Dominic merely raised a brow, giving Chaise a smirk.Boys! And I’m not even romantically interested with either of them.Dominic turned to me. “You should play with us.”“What?”“Good luck c
