Rosalind"Trina?" Axel asked, his eyes showing recognition. I looked the girl up and down and suddenly felt insecure. She was wearing a skin-tight body con dress, and it looked like she and her friends were out for a party. They had shiny purses in their hands and had an extravagant aura to them, so I hid behind Axel as they conversed. I don't know who this girl is, but I could tell that she and Axel know each other by the way they gazed at each other. "Yeah, I'll see you at the club!" Trina shouted out to her friends as she jogged over to where we were. She peered up at Axel with shining eyes and displayed a playful smile on her face. "Oh, fuck. It really is you!"Axel frowned and scratched the back of his head. "My friends and I were walking towards the club when they pointed over to a hot guy walking ahead of us. I thought that you looked familiar, and I wasn't wrong. How have you been? I

TrinaI bit my lips and clenched my fists in anger as I looked at Rosalind dragging Axel away from the club. "You okay, Trina?" Deborah asked, trying to console me, but I slapped her hand away and continued glaring at their retreating figures. I closed my eyes and took in deep breaths because I couldn't afford to have an outburst right here. It'll only ruin my reputation. I knew from the start that Rosalind was a good-for-nothing girl. Yes, I was a little bit dazed when I first saw her because she was so pretty—wait, scratch that! She's pretty but not as pretty as me. I hated the way that Axel looked at her and even hated how innocent she was acting. I know deep down that she's just keeping up that persona to impress men. She most likely has a bitchy personality in reality. To be honest, I was really happy when I saw Axel walking down the street, but she just had to ruin it for me. I've liked Axel since high school bec

RosalindI jinxed myself. I told Axel yesterday that I wasn't the type of person who got sick easily, but look at me now. After dancing in the rain last night, we went straight to Doctor Sir Jerry's clinic to fetch Sebastian and get our luggage. They were surprised to see us drenching wet, but we didn't have time to explain or get changed anymore since we were about to miss our train schedule. We boarded the train at 11:00 PM like usual and got changed in the bathroom of the train. It was already 1 AM when we arrived at the palace, so we all fell asleep right away. When I woke up, my head felt heavier, and my skin felt hotter than usual. I groggily got up to take my temperature and groaned when I saw that it was 38.5 degrees Celsius."Fuck," I muttered under my breath while going under the covers once again. My forehead was sweating, and I felt hot yet cold at the same time. "Just sleep," I whispered to myself, but it

RosalindI scoffed, trying to play off the nervousness in my heart. "What are you saying? Me? Liking Axel? I told you that this was about my friend."She gave me an incredulous look. "Sis, no offense, but you don't have any friends.""I do!" I argued, still keeping up with my little white lie. She sighed and massaged her temples. "Okay, let's just say that I believe you."I pouted because it really felt as if she didn't believe me."You're only going to find the answer to your question if you ask.""But what if he doesn't like me?" I asked, caving in. She sighed. "Have you even told him that you like him yet?"I looked down at the table and shook my head.She slapped her hands on her thighs. "See! You haven't even told him! He must be confused as hell too."I threw my head back in frustration. "I'm scared, okay? I've never felt this way before, and it just sucks that I feel like he

RosalindWe were now on our way to Agartha—the place where Luna Aerin currently is. We were already nearing the vicinity, and there were no trains that passed through this area, so we just ended up walking. We were surrounded by tall trees, itchy grass, and different types of exotic flowers. I groaned as I once again scratched my leg, which seemed to be a favorite target for the mosquitoes around here. "Why are you even wearing a dress in the first place?" Sebastian asked, laughing as he watched me scratch my legs for the nth time of the day. I glared at him. "Well, you didn't tell me that we were going to be walking!"He raised his hands up in surrender. "Hey, I disclosed to you the plan yesterday night in your room. It's not my fault that you were not paying attention."I grumbled under my breath and trudged behind them, still feeling grumpy from all the mosquito bites on my legs. We had be
