Sitting on the corner of her bed, Sira was trying to calm herself down after accidentally and unintentionally eavesdropping on her parents' conversation. She heard them loud and clear even though they were trying to be as silent as they could. The two were discussing how it takes no time for kids to get all grown up. They were happy to know how incredible of a woman Sira was becoming and admired how mature she was in taking decisions. How she has always been there for the people she loves, especially her brother Jason. The boy had a lot to go through without a father figure around him. The world is ten times crazier when it gets to know you have no protector. Sira was the one who provided him with comfort and warm emotions when Ms. Drew was not around. Sira honestly smiled to herself through all of their conversation until. "Honey, I know the two kids are marrying each other out of love and I know Sira wants it too. But I just can't resist myself to hide the truth from our girl." Si

While talking with Shaun, Gracie couldn't stop but steal glances from Jason every now then. Observing how quiet and sinless he appeared to the world in those glasses covering his dark amber eyes. His head down, shirt buttoned properly and tucked in his trousers, he's so different in everyone's vision. And the only spectrum that was visible to Gracie was unseen by the people around. She smiled to herself, without listening to anything that the person in front of him was speaking. "And I think it will be best if teachers include that too. Gracie? Are you even listening?" "Huh? Ah yeah! I think pineapples are a big no." She said, nonchalantly. Shaun knitted his brows, dumbfoundedly, letting out a mocking chuckle at how this girl is good at pretending and making answers. "What?" Gracie simply asked. "Weren't we talking about pizza and its toppings?" "Definitely not. That topic was over minutes ago." He explained as he picked his phone from the table looking at the 'oh' expression on

Gracie couldn't stop but think about the moment she had just shared with the rest of the students. In spite of the giddy feeling, her heart was dropping at the thought of being unworthy of everything she had just pursued. It's the uneasiness in her heart that the pursuit she received might belong to someone hardworking and not her. She did not want to or like to take things for granted. Her brows frowning, a line formed between them and lips constantly bitten one moment or another. She was troubled and her expression didn't lie at all. Jason noticed her face for a good while as he carefully drove towards the restaurant where his mother was waiting for them. He never in his life wanted to see such expressions on Gracie's face even if it's while having a rough fuck. He did imagine ruthless fantasies that he wanted to try with her, from bondage to roleplays but never ever he would let a painful grimace appear on her face. Even for a second. And he was observant enough towards her to dis

"Shall I call Sira or no? Shall I call Sira or no?" Gracie chants back and forth, feeling anxious more than ever.With a final grunt, she drops back to her bed and kicks the air multiple times before crying and whining like a toddler who has been denied to buy both toys and is supposed to choose one. Since the competition played a good role in exhausting the souls of the participants and their teachers, the principal had decided to give them a day to relax before they get back on track and bring the trophy to the premises of Blue Lakes High School. But relaxation was the last thing that was on Gracie's mind right now. She had given it a huge consideration about what Sana had suggested to her. And it was the biggest leap for her but worthy enough to admit that yes, she is in love. In love with a boy she had barely known two weeks ago, with the boy she presumed to be a geek with glasses who had nothing to do with the material world. Although she was proven wrong in every aspect about hi

Gracie passes her cousin the glass of cold water as she streams her tears like a waterfall against Jason's shoulder. She would very much prefer if Ellen gave some valid reason for her tears but at the same time, she understood that it was difficult for her to open up, especially when she was weeping for a great loss like now. Or maybe it just looked like it. One thing that Gracie could not wrap her head around and beyond her liking is why she came to Jason's house at this hour of the night. No matter how much she trusted Jason or even tried to be civil with their friendship, as a girl she was more than uncomfortable having her alone with the guy that she loves."What happened, Ellen?" Jason asks again. He pats her shoulder soothingly. Gracie bites her lower lips and grabs onto your robe that she was wearing, trying to calm down her inner conflict and enraging insecurities. She knew Ellen was upset, but knowing her and Jason's past together, she felt very uneasy about their proximity.
