Chapter One: The New Girl

“It’s so quiet.”

Gaby sat on the bench outside her university flat. There were several plants and a tree over the fence. However, its branches and shadows were in her flat.

It’s Sunday. Her father took her early to school. She had no idea how long she read on the bench. She checked her watch. ‘It’s a quarter past 6,' she thought. Dinner was coming, and she was alone in the apartment.

A little while later, she heard some noise from the apartment and thought about checking in to see if her roommates were around.

Gaby heard joyful voices inside the main entrance as she approached. She was anxious since this was her first time sharing a home. According to the book, most roommates don’t get along because of their personalities.

Gaby took a deep breath and slowly opened the door. As she walked in and closed the door, the three ladies just stared at her without saying a word.

She said, “Hello!” timidly.

Three ladies inside were screaming, “Oh my God!” Their sudden scream startled her.

A lovely lady approached her in shorts and a white T-shirt. Her haircut looked great on her and suited her features. She said she’s about 5’6" tall. She grabbed her arm and pulled her over to where the other two ladies were.

As she pulled her, she said, “Hello, are you our new housemate?”

“Yeah! I’m Gabrielle Shin Johnson.” Gaby says. “But I like Gaby short.”

“Oh, by the way, I’m Sasha De Leon,” she casually adds. “Her name is Arabella Anderson, but we usually call her Belle and Ashlee Alonzo.”

“Hello!” Gaby smiled and greeted the two.

The two ladies were checking out her face. They’re checking out her neck, breast, waist, and feet. She was feeling a bit uneasy. Belle has this beautiful long, ash-brown, wavy hair like Sasha. She also has a high-bridge nose, narrow lips, and huge breasts. Her hips are pear-shaped, too. She’s got some long legs! Gaby thinks the lady is 5’8”, just like her. Wow, she’s got some hot curves!

“You are so beautiful!” They cheered while staring at her.

“Yeah, it’s like you have no pores, and your eyelashes are amazing! Is that for real? Oh wow, your dimples are unique!“ said Ashlee.

Ashlee is sitting right next to Belle. She’s stunning with these gorgeous short, wavy locks. She’s not the least attractive of her two friends. She’s a Morena and tall, just like Sasha! Her Barbie-like physique is just so flawless! Gaby is really into athletics, stunts, and daredevil sports! But her cousin, on the other hand, always seems to gravitate towards beauty contests because of her flawless figure.

“Gosh, Gaby! You have such beauty!“ Ashlee complimented her.

She giggled at her. “You girls are beautiful as well. I like your body shape, Ashlee. You have a perfect shape," said Gaby. Ashlee is a head-turner. She’s not lying about that!

“But you’re perfectly fashioned, you know. Is my skin color appealing to you? The typical skin tone of a Filipino." Ashlee said. "My body is not as pretty as your body.“

“You’re pretty, Ashlee. Your skin color suits you nicely! Did you participate in a beauty contest?“ Gaby said.

“Yeah, you know, back in junior high, I won,” Ashlee said, smiling.

“When did you get here, Gaby?” Belle asked.

“A while ago,” she said.

“What course are you currently taking?” Sasha asked.

Gaby said, “I’m in my third year of studying civil engineering for my bachelor’s degree.”

Belle said, “I’m in my third year studying for a BS in tourism.”

“Oh, I’m in my third year of BS Business Administration, too!” Sasha exclaimed.

“BS in Political Science,” says Ashlee. “Year three, too!”

She was so close to becoming deaf when those three ladies yelled again. But she couldn’t stop smiling. Her roommates seem pretty cool. Even though she was scared, she got along pretty well with her housemates. She thinks they’ll be her best friends.

“Are you a supermodel, actress, or beauty queen? Just curious!“ Ashlee asked.

Gaby shook her head. “No. I wish to be one of them, but unfortunately, it is impossible.“ Gaby said, laughing.

“Why impossible? You qualify for it.“ Belle said.

Gaby chuckled. “Because it’s hard to be like them!”

“You’re one of the boys' sorts of girls, I guess,” Belle replied.

“That’s what makes you so sexy!” adds Sasha.

Gaby just smiled a little. “You look sexy, Sasha. I’m blessed to have such lovely housemates!”

“We are fully aware!” Belle laughed.

“Gaby, I’m not boasting, but we were university sweethearts. We were the female counterparts of the renowned guys groups. Almost all the boys at our university are fantasizing about us and want us to be their girlfriends,” said Ashlee.

“Really? Wow, you three are the sweethearts," asked Gaby.

“Yes, and there are four of us today. I’m excited to see the boys’ reactions tomorrow.“ Sasha said.

Gaby giggled. Who doesn’t fall for their beauty? They’re just so captivating! They became distracted as the door suddenly opened. Two guys showed up.

“Hello, ladies! You missed us, didn’t you?“ the man says.

“No.” Sasha merely said.

“Stop being a snob, Sasha. I know you have a crush on me," the other guy laughed.

“Excuse me!” Sasha raised a brow. “You are not my crush, and I shall never have a crush on you! Your confidence chews you up.”

The man chuckled. Their gaze wandered away to Ashlee’s side. “Oh!” said Matt and Riki in surprised reaction.

“I thought it was an apartment. God forbid, I saw an angel!” said Matt with a grin.

Matt reached out to Gaby and held her hand. “I’m not a good person, but God loves me anyway. He even sent my angel. Miss Beautiful, my name is Matt," he said.

Gaby smiled. “Gaby.”

“I just can’t help it, God; you’re so beautiful!” said Matt.

Ashlee and Sasha quickly pushed Matt, so he fell onto the couch. Another guy approached Gaby and held her hand.

“Hello, I’m Riki,” he said, holding Gaby’s hand. “Matt’s right. You’re so hot. You look so beautiful!”

“Hello! I am Gaby.“ Gaby replied.

Ashlee and Sasha pushed Riki, who even sat on Matt’s lap on the couch. “Jeez, dude! You’re so heavy!“ Matt complained.

Everyone laughed and chatted happily at the joke about Matt and Riki, who constantly quarreled with Sasha, Belle, and Ashlee.

-

"Are they the famous gentleman’s group, Heartthrobs?“ Gaby asked.

“Oh, Matt and Riki are just lovely, aren’t they? A lot of women and gay people find them attractive.”

Gaby’s family owns the university. Johnson only has two descendants. Her father is a well-known architect in Canada, Australia, Europe, and the US. Her mom is a prominent cardiothoracic surgeon in both Canada and Europe.

Gaby’s father designed Shin University (SU). It’s considered one of the country's most prestigious and expensive universities. The student flats can accommodate up to four people. The apartment has a nice living room, kitchen, four bedrooms, and a bathroom downstairs; each bedroom on the second level is meant for one person. The students felt at home there. Maintenance might call you to clean the unit whenever they need to.

“Oh yeah! There are four, and there are two others you haven’t met,” Ashlee said.

“Seriously?” said Gaby. “So there are four of them? Like F4?“

Sasha nodded. “Yes. Four handsome, rich guys.“ Ashlee giggling. “They have a luscious body that all women talk about.”

Gaby chuckled. “Really, luscious?”

Sasha giggled. “Of course. Clark and Dylan are even more handsome. They are the most famous of them. Well, Clark’s got a lot of fans.”

‘Dylan’s here? No way! He can’t be my best friend!‘ Gaby thought.

Ashlee said, “It’s easier to get in touch with Dylan than Clark.”

“Are they that famous?” said Gaby.

Gaby remembered her favorite Japanese manga, Hana Yori Dango.

“Yes. A lot of women ran into them.“ Sasha said, giggling.

Gaby couldn’t help but giggle at Sasha’s comment. “Which university are you from? It’s been a few months since class started. This place is perfect for you; it suits you.” Belle said.

Since her dad owns the place, they’ll accept her. “I was in Canada before. I’m interested in studying here.“ Gaby replied.

“Whoa, you’re international!” said Belle, laughing.

Gaby just laughed as well.

    As the sun rose, casting a warm glow through the windows, Gaby emerged from her slumber and approached the staircase. Suddenly, a faint sound caught her attention, originating from the lower level of the house. In a swift motion, her gaze darted towards the staircase, where many individuals came into view. ‘Downstairs is crowded,' Gaby thought. “Oh, you’re awake! I was planning on waking you up. Let’s have breakfast,” Ashlee said. “Why are there so many people around here?” Gaby asks. “It’s just us; no one else is around. Hey, do you remember Matt from last night?” Ashlee mentioned, “They were having breakfast with us.” She was the first to follow Ashlee. Gaby clutched her purse tightly, making sure not to let it slip from her grasp. The weight of her books pressed against her side reminded her of the knowledge she carried with her. As the group gathered around the table, they marveled at its size. The enormous eating table stood proudly in the center of the room, ready to serve t

    “Who are you?” The woman stared at Clark, and it surprised him. She has a beautiful face. She has long lashes which, he knows, are not fake, her perfectly curved nose, and her red lips, and he knows it is not a lipstick that makes it red. Her cheeks are red, and her fair white skin feels smooth. And as she was talking with Ashlee, she was smiling, so he could see her deep dimples on both cheeks. “Clark, you look at her like you don’t want her here,” said Belle. “Her name’s Gaby. She’s our new roommate.” Ashlee said. “A roommate. Why is she here with us?” Clark asked. “She’s our roommate, a sweethearts. She can sit with us, duh!” Belle said, rolling her eyes at Clark. “Gaby, he is Clark. He’s a heartthrob member.“ said Ashlee. “The grumpy one.” Gaby just stared at him, smiled a little, and ignored him. Clark lifted an eyebrow. Gaby didn’t even show a little admiration for him, didn’t even speak to him or anything. ‘Jeez, who’s this girl?’ Clark thought. Dylan sat beside Clark.

    “Gab, what’s happened?” asked Dylan. While walking, the students were staring at them. They run after the eyes like they saw something. Gaby just looked at him and looked back at the road again. “Ever since I’ve been here, I haven’t heard from you. I tried to contact you and Auntie. I can no longer view your social media account.“ said Dylan. Gaby didn’t answer Dylan’s question. Someone called them from behind. “Dylan!” They stopped walking and turned around. Clark approached them, running. Dylan stopped walking so did Gaby. “Are you going home?” Clark asked as he approached. “Yes,” Dylan said. Clark looked at Gaby, but she wasn’t looking at him. She just turned around after he got closer to them. They both walked together. Clark lifted his hand to the back of his head. “What was it earlier?” asked Dylan. “It’s nothing.“ said Clark. Dylan smirked. “Have you given her any hope?” “No, women are just making assumptions,” said Clark. “They will never assume if you don’t give t

He held her hand and dragged her onto the table. “You’re such a different person, Dylan!” said Riki. Dylan chuckled. Dylan sat on the other side of the table in front of her. As she picked up the food, she noticed Clark seated across the table. He looked at her for a sec and came back to his food. ‘He is such a bad vibe for the morning!’ Dylan looked at her, frowning. “Why?” Dylan asked. She smiled at him. “Nothing!” Dylan smiled at her as well. “In all fairness, you two are good together.” The two of them turned to the speaker, and that was Sasha. “Do you think so?” said Dylan. “I do!” said Sasha. Sasha even approaches their table and is about to sit beside Clark, but she accidentally collides with him before she can sit. “Watch your step, Sas

    After Dylan left, Clark and Gaby left at their table. Gaby never even looked at him. She turned to Sasha. They dance happily at the center. She laughed a little because they were still quarreling. “Hey, Miss Beauty.” said the man. It stood in front of her with two other men. “What is your name?” one man asked. Gaby looked at them and didn’t say a word. One even sits beside her. She was looking at Clark, and he wasn’t even looking at her. It was hard for him not to notice that there were males at their table. “Leave. I have friends with me,” said Gaby calmly. “As I see it, you’re by yourself.” the man said. They noticed Clark sitting on the other side, just looking at them. “It seems that you are not close to him, that you sit separately, that you do not speak to one another. But we can talk to you. We can have a long chat if you like.“ The other guy said. “I’m not interested in you,” she said, annoyed. “You are snotty! Let’s get to know you.“ the man said. The man was about t

    They pulled up in front of the big villa. It was the rest home of the Sasha family. From where they are, they can see the vast sea at a distance, the blue water of the sea, and its white sand. “I love the air,” Gaby said after getting out of the car. Gaby opened her arms and savored the robust, fragrant air surrounding her body. The air flew off her hair. “Fortunately, she’s not ice cream because if she is, she’s melting now. You and Clark are truly best of friends.” Matt whispered to Dylan. “The hot stare you and Clark gave Gaby makes her melt away.” Dylan turned towards Clark, standing across and staring at Gaby. It was the first time Clark had stared at the woman, just like last night when he caught Clark and Gaby staring at each other. Dylan smiled as he approached Gaby. He made her smile. “It’s lovely here!” Gaby said, looking at Dylan. “I’ll bring your stuff,” said Dylan. Gaby smiled, and they went in together. Clark got left out, his eyes chasing after them. — It is spa

    “She’s my best friend in Canada. We separated when I returned to the Philippines.“ said Dylan. “You mean separated? You have a relationship with her?” Belle asked. Dylan shook his head and glanced at Gaby. “When we returned to the Philippines, I could not say goodbye to her,” said Dylan. Gaby was looking at the sea. She didn’t seem interested in what they were talking about. “Why? What happened?” Belle asked curiously. “Because Granddad had a heart attack and was hospitalized, Daddy was in a hurry to get home because of the news,” Dylan explained. “And because it happened suddenly, I never have time to say goodbye to Gaby.” Gaby never said a word. She looked quietly at the ocean. “So you have never returned to Canada?” asked Riki. Dylan nodded. “I never came back. After Grandpa died, Dad took care of everything he left behind. Even Aunt Yvonne didn’t make it back to Canada.“ “So that’s Gaby?” Sasha said in disbelief. “The woman you’re crazy about in Canada?” Of course, Sasha k

They were sitting on the body of the gigantic tree on which they placed it. They were all drinking, except Gaby. Along with Gaby are Dylan and Sasha.

Clark even played with fire with a stick he had picked up earlier. “What happened to you, Clark? You got a splendid aura.“ said Sasha. “Yes, your smile looks excellent. Not fake in fairness.“ Belle added. Clark smiled with two hands over his head. “What do you suppose I’m not human?” he smiled. “Let it go. It’s good, and you’re smiling. At least it won’t frighten us!“ Gaby said, laughing. “What’s your point?” asked Clark. “That you’re

    Matt sat down next to Clark. Matt took Clark's hand of the ice cream cone and handed it a new one. He threw away the melted ice cream and gave Clark a tissue. "I know you're unlucky now, dude, but don't fall in love with me. I know my charisma is strong." Matt joked. "Tsk, you're pure bullshit," said Clark "You're too serious a dude," said Matt. Clark looked to where Gaby and Dylan were. "Don't be jealous now, dude. They need each other at a time like this." Clark looked at Matt. 'Does he know about Dylan?' Clark thought. "Why would they need each other?" Clark asked. "Let's say there are things that are hard to say, just like telling the truth to the person you love," said Matt Clark didn't speak anymore, and he just took a deep breath. Clark was surprised when Matt took the ice cream cone he was holding. "You're wasting food. If you don't want ice cream, I'll eat it, okay?" said Matt.

    Surprised, they all went down to the kitchen after the housemaid called them, as Gaby was busy in the kitchen. The helpers set the dining table while Gaby was busy transferring the food into the bowls. Even Jeff, Isabel, and Franco were surprised. Gaby smiled as she saw everyone standing at the dining-room door. "Good morning …" Gaby said, smiling. "Why are you still standing there? Let's have breakfast together." Everyone acted at once and sat down in front of the long table. Gaby prepared a variety of food. Gaby glanced at Dylan but immediately looked away, and Gaby smiled at Clark. "Why do you look like that? You can't believe it." Gaby said, laughing. Gaby sat down next to Isabel and looked at everyone. She felt the pain of being able to make her look at Dylan. He smiled as he talked to Matt. Unbeknownst to Gaby, Clark was watching her. "Didn't you sleep last night, Gaby?" Riki suddenly asked. Gaby glanced at Riki. "Not so much." "Why? Are you feeling anything?" Franco asked.

Do you think I didn't notice?" Matt said. Dylan took a deep breath. "Notice what?" Matt crossed his arms and then stared at Dylan. "What if I find out what's going on with you and I tell the gang?" "Do it," Dylan said. "Do not you trust me?" Dylan looked at Matt. He knew Matt, he was sure if he hadn't told Matt what he noticed he would investigate, and he would tell his friends what he found out. Matt started walking away from the garage when Dylan spoke again. "One month," Dylan said Matt turned away then frowned. "I- I only have ..... one month to live." Dylan had a hard time saying that.
