CHAPTER 8
I don't want attention. I don't want any eyes on me. I prefer to be alone and lock myself up in my room. I shouldn't have come here.
I started to take steps backward, starting to lose my sanity. Someone, please, make me vanish. The eyes of the people around me are like those red eyes lingering in the shadows as they surround me and I am in the middle, trying to escape from these monsters.
"Marigold." Suddenly, light appeared. This simple brightness outstands the massive darkness, enough for me to find my way out from this nightmare.
"K-kit..."
"We're out of here." He grabbed my arm and pulled me, helping me to get out from this place. But we stopped when Neil spoke through the microphone.
"Kit. What are you doing?" I can still sense anger in his voice.
Kit didn't answer and continued to walk with me. But I stopped so he looked at me with his forehead knotted.
"Why? Don't you wanna go home?" He asked.
I shook my head. There's st

I stood up from my seat with my chin up. Everyone's eyes were on me as I walk out of the venue. For the first time in my life, I never thought I would be this confident. I never thought that the presence of everyone didn't make me uneasy.When I finally went out the venue, no one was around. I let out a loud sigh as I held my chest. I felt my heart pounding fast. What did I just do? I just saved Ella from the fate that she might possibly be in if I didn't interfere. I just saved someone who made fun of me, who bullied me at school. Am I doing the right thing?"So, how was the party? Isn't it too early for you to be home?" my brother asked me as soon as I entered the mansion. He was watching the TV in the living room while he's drinking something. He's sitting on the couch with his legs crossed."I'm not feeling well, brother," I stated without energy. I walked like a zombie and sat beside him. I watched the TV but my focus isn't on it but to the scene I made at

I felt an electricity that flowed through my veins the moment Neil wrapped his arm around my shoulder. Ella and some of my classmates glared at me. Shouldn't they blame Neil instead? I didn't do anything. Neil was the one who act familiar like we're friends, wherein, in fact, we're not."Oh, Oliver. You're here," Aurelia said with a smile on her face.I was waiting for the moment Neil would remove his arm but it seems like he's enjoying this. Is he crazy? He's doing this infront of his fiancé?"Are you guys friends?" Aurelia asked as she diverted her gaze to me. She's still wearing that bright and beautiful smile of her."Nope. This one's my prey." Neil answered with a smirk on his face.I looked at him beside me with my forehead knotted. But his scornful smile didn't fade when he looked at me. Oh yeah, I almost forgot this guy's a bully here."Prey?" Aurelia's forehead knotted. "What is going on here, Oliver? Are you bullying this cu

"What are you doing here?" I asked him but he just stared at me seriously, his hands both inside the pocket of his pants.He started to take steps to my direction so I gulped, feeling uneasy. Why is he staring at me like that? Did I do something wrong?"Where are you two going? What is your relationship with him anyway? Answer me, Gold. Why are you fixed up? Are you making yourself gorgeous just for Kit?"His continuous questions made my jaw dropped. How am I supposed to answer his questions all at once? And why does he care in the first place?"Can you please stay out of my business?" I frowned, as I took steps backwards. He kept on walking forward even though he's already close enough to me."Your business is my business. Answer me or I'll lose my sanity." He's really looking at me seriously that's why I shouldn't do anything that can make him mad. He's about to explode but he's trying to control himself. Why is he acting like this?"You c
Miss Wallflower CHAPTER 12
I decided not to go back home just for tonight. I sat here at the side of the bridge with a stranger beside me. She's already in a middle adulthood and she's here because she's selling balut, one of the first exotic food delicacies in the Philippines. She talked a lot and I find myself comfortable being with her. She told me that she came from a poor family and has to sell balut in order for her to feed her family. She even told me everything she do isn't easy, but her family is her inspiration for her to continue this. They are happy even though they are poor. But here I am, I have everything I need, I got everything and I can buy all the things I want, however, I am not happy with my life. Isn't it funny? This just proves that life with money won't always make you happy. It is the life with your family that counts.A cold breeze touched my skin so I sat with my legs together. I hugged both of my knees and I felt the roughening of my skin."It's starting to get cold,

I wanted to move but fear has taken over me. How did this guy even get inside?He suddenly placed his index finger on his lips, telling me not to make any noise."Hey, freak. Why are you awake—" Ella rose up from lying when she saw I'm awake. But then her eyes widened when she noticed the guy that's already between us."Sssshhh..." The guy hushed. We couldn't get to discern his face because it's kinda dark in here, plus, he's wearing a hoodie, so the shadow hides his face. But we can see his creepy smile and glowing eyes.Suddenly, I felt Ella holding my left hand. She squeezed it and I know that she's nervous and doesn't know what to do. I gazed at my side to see the two kids and also ma'am Edeline. My eyes widened when I saw blood on their shirts and even their mouths. T-they were killed?"Now both of you—""You murderer!!!" Ella immediately kicked him hard so he was thrown back a little. I stood up first and helped Ella. She's

"Ella?" I called her while she's washing the dishes. She knows a lot about the household chores whereas I don't. I even asked her to teach me but she doesn't want to do it because a princess like me shouldn't do what maids do. I just rolled my eyes inside my thought. I wished I was a pauper with a loving family than being a princess with a family who didn't care about me."Yeah?""You were about to tell me something, right?" I just seated here, watching her."Am I? Uh, no. It's nothing."I never thought I'd talk to her like this. For the first time, I thought, that she's a friend, someone special to me. And I also think she treats me the same. Or maybe she just needed someone to talk to but when we go back to school, she will return to her old self. Bullying me, with the twins at her side.After washing the dishes, she decided to take a shower. I still feel cold and maybe I'll follow after she's done. I strolled around the mansion. I turned my gaze

I don't get what he meant. What is he saying? For an unknown reason, tears started to form in my eyes."There was this girl. She became a part of our lives. She was the same as you at first. An introvert, she doesn't communicate with anyone. She's also smart just like you. I never thought that she would become more than a friend in Neil's eyes," he started as he placed his hands inside the pocket of his pants. He stepped backwards and leaned on the wall. He lifted his head to the sky like he's imagining what he is saying. I just looked at him as I focused in listening to everything his mouth says."When we were in our senior high school years, the four of us were always close. Close like those four guys we see in the anime Boys Over Flowers.""Boys Over Flowers? You mean the F4?" My forehead knotted as I asked that. Is it just me or there are four guys in their circle of friends? But why did I only met three, Kenneth, Kit and Neil? Who's the fourth one?"
Miss Wallflower CHAPTER 16
"Gold." He slowly lifted his right hand and placed it on my left cheek."I'm not a good comforter though, but I'll try my best to make you feel better." I smiled.He suddenly moved so I tried to move back but he immediately grabbed my arm and pulled me closer to him. My face is literally an inch far from his face. We both stared into each other's eyes. I can feel his breath. Seconds later, he moved his face closer and closer like he's about to kiss me. Is this it? Will he really kiss me?I cleared my throat and decided to avoid my gaze."Gold. Only you can make me feel better," he stated.I stood up and sighed before I looked down to him. My face showed no emotion. It's like I'm a titan looking down on the villagers."Neil, I am not an ordinary girl. You gotta work hard to get my kiss. This thing's very precious to me." I turned around and took a step away from him. Geez, what the heck am I saying? Hell, I'm a conservative type of girl so ev
