The brunette girl tiptoed and kissed our sub on his lips?! My eyes aren't deceiving me, right? I didn't know that this guy preferred girls who are a year younger than him, with a busty peach and big watermelons. I peeked at my chest. They aren't that large, but who cares?!
Well, I will not be surprised by that because boys will be boys. He got that gorgeous face of him. The proof that girls swarm at him. Probably he is like someone who's addicted to a…you know, "sexy time". Or am I being judgemental here? Nevertheless, they are such a pain in my ass.Aren't they aware that they are smooching right in front of our campus? Is that really how teens should act? Some juniors were eyeing them as they passed by. Yet, they didn't mind about it!"Mister Gardoz, let's go," I said irritably when I felt that the car's engine wasn't starting.I'm getting pissed for unexplainable reasons. All I wanted is to leave this kind of erot*c scenery. This is the moment where I wish that I become blind, no more seeing such inappropriate scenes.Mister Gardoz pressed the beep noise of the car because some students were blocking the road. In an instance, they crossed the street in haste. But what caught my attention is the grimace in the substitute teacher's face in our car. Since our windows are not tinted, he can totally recognize me from the outside. I frowned at him too, making him smirked.They look sweet to each other. The brunette ran her finger through his neck. Exactly, choke him—the literal one—for me, please. Thank you.Why am I bothered with them?When our car passed by their spot, I simply peered out the window only to see them hugging each other. I just wanna vomit by watching them, it makes my eyes roll. Particularly when the sub gives me an intimidating look while caressing the girl's back. What is he trying to tell me, huh?!As soon as we reached home, I went directly to my room and got changed into my comfy clothes. I hurled myself on the bed and nuzzled my stuffed toy. It's almost five o'clock, yet I still find it early for dinner. The maids are already preparing the dishes for later, the aroma of those occupied my nose as I entered the house.I picked up my bag on the floor and grabbed my phone. I'm not that active on social media so I decided to open my Fisiebook to check some updates. A lot of my schoolmates sent me friend requests, and guys bombed my chat box. This is the reason why I hate opening my account, I don't know how they were able to add me since I made this account private.Is it possible? Or I missed something, and my account is really not in private mode.I only have 100 and above friends, which includes; classmates, cousins, aunt and uncle, and other relatives."Knock! Knock! Pretty Aisie is here!"My eyes widened so I immediately turned off my phone and pretended to sleep. Why is she even here? We just split up our routes earlier at school, and now she's outside my room. That fast?!"Open the door, my dear bestie!"I heard an unlocking noise so I kept my eyes shut. Why do they even have a spare key in my room?"Thank you, Miss Isabelle!""No problem, Ma'am."Did I give her the freedom to barge in my room when I don't want to unlock the door?! As long as I remember, I didn't!"My loveliest bestie, I know you're awake. Open your eyes or I'm gonna throw all of your books out the window!"As if she can. I groaned a bit and cuddled more with my bear."Oh, you don't believe me, do you?"I heard her footsteps so I slightly opened my right eye to see what she was up to. She walked straight to my bookshelf and started rummaging through it. And there she found my favorite romance novel. Getting a hold of it, she sauntered past my bed and then removed the sash-lock before lifting my window."I'm gonna count—""If you throw that book in that goddamn window, I swear to all Gods that I'm gonna kick your ass outta here. That's a limited edition of a hard-bound book so don't you dare. That is more precious compared to your face," I blurted out and sat on my bed.I should punish this little devil."Alright! Alright! Chill, Lushiane." She slowly put down the book on the bedside table. "Everything will not end up like this when you welcome me with all of your heart, my dear bestie," she frantically said and held her chest.The award for most overreacting person in the world goes to; Aisie Winterfielde."What's your intention for coming here? And why did you barge in like that?!""I'm sorry." She rubs her neck. "I just wanna drag you along with me at Le Bon Marché. Christian Louboutin has already released a new pair of stilettos, and I can't contain my excitement anymore. So we need to buy it now! After our shopping spree, we can have a picnic and watch the Eiffel Tower twinkling lights at Champ de Mars."I glanced at her boredly, scanning her from head to toe; wearing a blue tube top, black wide-leg pants, and she's wearing one of her killer heels."Alright. But you will treat me." I yawned. "Or I'll just sleep.""Deal!"I smirked at what she yelled. "Deal then. I will not bring any cents with me."The mall here is located in Paris, one hour drive away from here. Our town can only offer us a mini market for all so every time we want to go to a shopping center, we need to drive for an hour or more.I switched my clothes into a simple white tank top, and bluish denim cargo pants, and for my footwear, I just wear my Nike."Let's go," Aisie said and clung her arms to me.An hour later, we arrived at the department store. Aisie excitedly pulled me straight to the Christian Louboutin to buy the heels she wanted. After that, we went to my favorite boutique and she bought me a dozen of spaghetti straps and tank tops. We also purchase some cosmetics, perfumes, jewelry, and bikinis. I don't even know why we need to buy those bikinis, but she said that we can use them in no time.I'm kinda pleased to be spoiled by my best friend. She's really the best!"Where do you wanna eat?" She consulted me after everything was paid."Seriously, I'm not that hungry. It is past eight in the evening already. We can go to Champ de Mars already, and eat some snacks there."Also, we're already having a tough moment carrying our paper bags."Good idea."We put the paper bags in the trunk before we got off. I even puffed out loudly as soon as I felt the comfortable car seat."This is exhausting," I murmured. Now regretting why I came with her."Isn't this fun, bestie? Girl's day!"I rolled my eyes and peered out the window. "I felt like my feet were gonna be numb.""Mine too. But who cares? It's our girl's date."As we arrived at the Champ de Mars, my eyes were entertained by people who were enjoying the night by having a picnic on the greenfield, or sightseeing at the Eiffel Tower.We bought some snacks from different food stalls that were lined up. Also, we bought souvenirs at the mini market, and again, a lot of food. After that, we searched for a comfortable area to settle down."How's your evening ladies and gentlemen? I hope you're having fun with your loved ones as you watch the wondrous night lights of the Eiffel Tower!"My brows creased. That familiar voice always stuns me. I looked at my friend, and her eyes widened."Doesn't that voice sound familiar?" she mumbled. I slightly nod.That voice still lingers throughout my mind."Want to sing with me, gorgeous fellas?"I checked out the surroundings, and there, I saw a crowd around a bench. Some of them are cheering and clapping."Since it's a blissful night today, I'll sing a perfect song for y'all."Aisie tugged me along with her, struggling to get through the crowds while the guitar strums, playing one of Ed Sheeran's songs entitled "Perfect". As we passed the bunch of people, the first thing my eyes saw was the guitar bag on the floor with some money on it. Then next is the speaker and mic stand.I gulped as I heard his subtle voice. It was already night and cold, but it got doubled when words came out of his mouth with a perfect melody."It's Xalent!"My eyes flickered at the man in front of us. The familiar hazel brown eyes are now staring at me deeply, making my knees tremble. I bit my lower lip at his captivating stares.But all plunged in awe as I recognized him.

It's already dawn, yet I still can't get him off my head. Every time I try to shut my eyes, all I can see is his eyes, smile, and everything about him! But of all people, why does it need to be him…the substitute teacher I dislike the most?! Like, are you kidding me? I even asked Aisie why she didn't inform me that the man named Xalent was actually the graduating scholar whom I encountered that humiliating day! Then that girl only answered that she assumed that I already knew him. Like, when did I care about other people, huh? I don't even know some of our classmates. When I figured it out, I almost made a scene at his busking session because I'm trying to shove the crowd just to get away from there. Even though some are already bringing a fuss about it, I didn't dare to talk back with them. The last thing I want to see is that annoying face again! I knew it, my interest in that voice will remain that way. Why does his voice sound gentle when he starts singing while his personality
"Hey, open your eyes and eat." I tightly closed my eyes because the last thing I wanna see right now is him. Seriously, I'm trying to keep my patience long here or else I might punch him. All I wish for is a nap but he's ruining it already. Are we even friends for him to dictate to me what to do? "Your breath is heavy so I'm certain that you're still awake." "Can you just leave me peacefully? I wanna sleep," I lazily said, too tired to start an argument with him. "You need to eat first." I annoyingly opened my eyes and nudged his face. Why is he even close to me?! "Are we friends, huh? Don't you ever disturb me, Mr. Substitute-slash-busker!" Without any counterattack, he made me stop by just putting the lunchbox right in front of me. I looked at him; poker face checked, and put back my eyes on the lunchbox. "Eat." My brows furrowed. "Give that to your girlfriend, not to me. I don't wanna eat, I wanna sleep!"I can clearly recall that he is the reason why I don't have enough s
"Is there any bar here, sis? Or anything fun to go to?" she asked while checking her face in the mirror. "None, so whatever you are planning, don't ever do it. Manhattan is much better than here; a lot of pubs. And I know you, you're a spoiled brat who can't be ruled by her mom that easily. You can't do anything here, so why did you come here, huh?" She rolled her eyes. "You're such a mean, Lush. I feel that my eyes will be gratified with such Adonis faces and abs when we head to Paris. Maybe this is the time to kneel if I behold a perfect one for me here." I looked at her unbelievably. Are we really cousins? This one is a hell'a wild rather than me. "Just to remind you, Dey...I still have classes to attend so I can't go wherever you want to go. But don't you worry, we only have a week before the break." "Can we at least go to the winery?" she begged and lay beside me. "Mom said that the wines that your dad produced were the best in the world. I wanna taste some.""Alright. Well,
I was supposed to sit on the back ride, but Xalent preceded me. I rub my forehead and my hands tightened to the strap of my bag."Just sit inside." I could do nothing but go inside. I don't want to complain to him because it is a waste of our time.This isn't my first time riding an automobile. I used to commute when Daddy is using our car. We only had one car before so I needed to take an automobile. But everything changed when I entered high school, since our business had grown so Daddy decided to bought another one. I'm using the old one, while he had the BMW he bought."You... okay, there?" I looked up and saw Xalent glimpsing at me. I also have someone next to me, I think she is Xalent's batch mate. By just looking at her, I feel insecure and I don't know why."Y-yeah," I stuttered in response. I don’t really know why my tongue twists every time I answer him.The autom
The other line becomes silent. But I could hear his every breath. Maybe he was thinking. I placed my hand over my chest because of the unusual feeling that evolving in my heart. Even though he didn't say anything, I felt like I was going to have a nervous breakdown.Be steady Lushiane. You look like a fool."Can you sing for me? Because... I'm awful right now, really. And I want to hear your voice." I smacked my head at my own words.Why am I talking to him? Fuck this dramatic scene and these weird feelings. But Lushiane! You're such an idiot for requesting."What do you want?" His husky voice filled my ears so I was suddenly startled."Anything."Even though I was worried that he might not continue, I still waited until I heard the strum of a guitar. He can play? H-how? Fuck! Probably studied, Lushiane. You are not thinking. But it's really embarrassing that
I heard him chuckled a bit. Suddenly, I swallowed hard and closed my eyes, and still did not face him. I was stunned because of his chuckle. Why... Aish!"You left me on the call," he accused me. I felt even more embarrassed. I also pinched my palm a few times because of nervousness.I lifted my gaze and got shocked when our eyes met. "S-sorry.""Hmm..." I just bowed again. I can't stare at him for long because I feel, every second I look at him, I will give up."Can you look at me?" I was bewildered by what he said and suddenly looked at him. I secretly swallowed hard and my insides were sweating because of the excessive nervousness that he brought to my system.Lushiane, you're fine. Don't be nervous, he's not a monster for Pete's sake."Better," he said and smiled which made me nervous.I'm confused. It seems like we've only just met,
I am currently waiting for my two friends so that we can leave. The day today is Tuesday, and Aisie decided that we will leave for the camp for two days. And I'm really bored right now, because of the two, they are giving me such boredom just for waiting for them. I already said yesterday that they must pack up their things for this day, but they didn't listen to me. Susie decided that we must leave at three in the afternoon because it is not good to be overtaken by darkness in the road."Can you please do it faster!" I shouted and then stomped my feet into the ground. I know they can't hear me, but I just really want to let go of my impatience in waiting. I'm an impatient person.It’s only been a few minutes and I think they’re completely there. I already have my rucksack next to me, my things are complete here and then I also brought a first aid kit, and the tent for the three of us is also here. Incredible! The tent must be on
"What are you doing here?" I asked. I felt him sat beside me but I didn't dare to watch him. I suddenly felt uneasy because of his presence, so I secretly pinched my hand which was starting to tremble.I really couldn’t understand myself every time he is near. I feel like I will be having a fever and I can't find proper words to say."I'm sorry.""About what?" I couldn't help but face him who was now staring at me. I gulped and ignored his stare giving creeps to my vitalities.His defined jaw, thin lips, puffy eyes, and his sharp nose brought out his perfect face. The light coming from the moon further delineates him and molds seriousness. He seems to fit into this place where only the moon shows his very perfect face."Earlier... Uh."I laughed and scratched my forehead because of the awkward atmosphere. "Why are you sorry? It's okay for my name to be
