I was cracking my neck as I sat down on my couch after getting a glass of milk.
Kristoff was not having a sleepover tonight because he was in Manila for some business. As much as I wanted to go with him, I couldn’t. I have a lot of things to do in the office.
My phone on the coffee table suddenly rang. My brows raised as I saw who was calling. It was my best friend, Kylie.
What does she need this time? Tsk!
“Hey—” I was cut off right away when she suddenly squealed my name.
“Annabelle!”
My face turned sour as I leaned my back on the couch. “Belle,
Hello! Sorry for not updating for sometime now. I will regularly update this starting today. I would love to know your thoughts about my book. Don’t hesitate to drop a comment. Love lots!
The days were running so fast. It’s already Sunday afternoon, and tonight will be our alumni party.I was already preparing myself for the party. Kylie said that she would just fetch me later so that we could go there together. The venue would be at WaterFront Grand Ballroom at Waterfront Hotel and Casino.It would be my second time to be in their Grand Ballroom. Last time Kylie and I were there for Morrisette Amon’s concert.I went to the bathroom and took a shower for an hour. After showering, I changed into my bathrobe, and I blow-dried my hair in front of the mirror. It was already 5 PM. I still have three hours to prepare.My make-up set was already ready for me to use. After
I was still stunned by what was happening. My hands were shaking. I couldn't believe everything that I heard.“I’m really sorry, Belle. I shouldn’t have forced you to come. It was my fault,” Kylie said when we got inside her car.I didn’t even notice that we were already at the parking lot, inside his car. I was preoccupied the whole time she dragged me out of the Grand Ball. What Scarlet and Kylie said still lingered in my head.I clasped my hand together to stop it from trembling and looked straight to Kylie. “K-Kyl… is it really true? I… I…” I burst out.“You are a murderer.”
“Ahh! Shit! I got only twenty minutes left,” I blurted out after seeing the time on my phone.I was pressing the button on the elevator while looking at my phone when the lift suddenly opened. I hurriedly got in while still looking at my phone. I was putting my phone in my bag when the door closed. I was about to walk towards the elevator button to press the ground floor when I saw a man standing in front of it.My eyes widened, and I froze where I was standing.In front of me was none other than Kristoff.I didn’t see him for the past five years, but I could still remember every inch
I sighed. “I wish I am water. So Josh will just dive into me.” Kylie spitted out the juice that she was drinking because of what I said. Good thing that she didn’t get me wet. What was her problem? She was wasting her drink.“What the fuck Anna Belle?!” She shouted in horror. I just look at her with innocent eyes.“What now? What did I do?” I said, frowning. I leaned down to look at the pool where my crush was swimming with only his trunks and goggles. His abs were so visible in my eyes. Shit! He looked so smoking hot! Should I just join the varsity team? I just noticed that almost all varsity players were so hot.“What are we really doing here, Anna Belle?” She said with irritation on her face. I hated it when she called me by my name. I felt like I was that doll on that horror movie Annabelle. Creepy!I glared at her. “Can you stop calling me that? It’s creeping me out. I told you to call me Bell
From: Unknown NumberYou drop your ID. Just tell me if you want to get it. I’m here inside Jollibee beside Sto. Rosario Parish.Thank God! Someone saw it. I hurriedly replied before they would go.To: Unknown NumberYou’re my savior! Thank you! I’m just outside USC. Be there in a sec!I hit the send button and hurriedly walked towards Jollibee. It was only on the other side of our school. The one that I and Kylie passed by a while ago.
I was scribbling in my notebook when my phone suddenly beeped. My eyes widened when I saw who texted me.It was Josh!From: JoshI told Kristoff that you want to treat us for finding your ID. He said no at first but I convinced him. How about this lunch?I replied right away before they changed their mind.To: JoshSure. Where would you want to eat?“Kylie!” I squealed in a low tone. Where inside our room for our last subject waiting for our professor.“What?” Her brows furrowed while loo
Two days had passed after that lunch fiasco. Kylie didn’t return so I ended up eating by myself and then went back to USC.I let Kristoff have his two days of peace. Because today, I’d make sure I’d get on his nerves.After Kristoff told me those hurtful words, I realized that reality really hurts. But I didn’t let it get into me. Instead, I accept it as a challenge. The more he rejected me, the more that I was eager to pursue him.I let his words pass. I’d make him regret what he said about me. I’d tried anything to pester him until he gave up and fell to my charm.I was not like other girls. I knew what I wanted. And if I wanted it, I’d do anything just to have it.
My smile was so big, even if I knew that I pissed him off, big time.He dragged me to the back of one of the buildings inside the campus and then pushed me to the wall. I winched the moment my back touched the hard wall because he did it hard. He put his right hand on the wall caging me in place.“You don’t have to push me hard,” I said as I touched the back of my shoulder where it hurts.“Why are you here?” he said with gritted teeth. He didn’t even care if I got hurt or not. Such a cold guy. Tsk!“I’m here to see. Are you not happy?” I stood straight and looked up at him. Damn! He was so tall. I just realized it now because we were so close. I was just on his neck level.
