“YES, Dad! I have a boyfriend. His name's Jake."I heard Caren say in a high voice. She was talking to her father who's on the other end of the line. It was Sunday night and Caren was all alone in the house. Earlier today, her Aunt Feling left the house to visit one of her relatives who had an accident and is now in the hospital. The old lady was asking Caren to come with her but the former chose to stay at home. I looked at Caren. Her face crumpled as she was listening to what her father was saying at the end of the line. I couldn't hear whatever her father was saying but based on the look from Caren's face, they were arguing about her having a boyfriend. "Stop telling me what to do with my life

“FUCK!” I whispered to myself while staring at the ceiling. I'm still lying on Caren's bed. I don’t know why I suddenly felt weak. I turned my gaze to the walk-in closet where Caren was at the moment.Is it possible that I also got sick from lying beside her last night? I almost laughed at myself. Of course, that's fucking far from possible. Did I forget that I’m in my spiritual form? “That’s what happens when you use too much of your energy.” “Fuck!” I muttered when Kairos' voice filled the room. I got up from the bed and found him beside me. “Language, Lucresia.”“You scared the shit

“WHY are you looking at me like that?" Lenos asked me with his eyebrows furrowed.We were studying in the library together. Lenos volunteered to tutor me in Physics when I failed my midterm exam in that fucking subject. It was all my professor's fault. That woman was just good at shaming her students and never in teaching. From the start of semester, I wasn't able to learn a thing from that old hag. Lenos and I were here in the library for almost an hour but I kept on getting distracted. Instead of focusing on the formula Lenos was teaching me, I just can't help but stare at his face. I rested my palm on my chin. Then I smiled at him. “I just want to...”He was wearing his glasses right now. And I coul

“I ALSO paid for this seat. You can't sit here.” Caren stopped one of her classmates who was about to sit beside her.Today was the day of Caren's camping. We were already seated on the bus assigned to her class. I had no choice but to tag along with her. “So, this seat is reserved for me?” I asked Caren, a satisfied smirk on my face. "I'm touched."“Shut up. I just don't want someone to hear me while I'm talking to you," she answered defensively. “I didn’t do it for you." She rolled her eyes and looked at the window. “This whole camping idea is so boring.” “Good morning, class.” What the fuck

"CAREN, what are you doing?"  Caren stopped from kicking the leaves on the ground when she heard her name being called.  We both turned to where the voice came from. A woman a few meters away from us was looking at Caren with a frown on her face. If I remember correctly, that woman is her class adviser. "Go with your classmates, Caren," the teacher said to her. "Help them."  I looked at where Caren's classmates were. Everyone was busy building tents. Even the nerd—Marcus, was helping his classmates. Caren was the only one who wasn't doing anything.  Caren rolled her eyes and was forced to join her classmates. "Fuck this stupid camp."  Ever since her phone was taken away from her, Caren's mood got
