"How bad was it?"
"I don’t want to talk about it" He leaves the house.
Mirabel bites her lips, recalling the hot s*x they just hard. Even though he was so rough, she’d enjoy it.
"Does that mean we’re back to being f**k mate? Here I was thinking he has a thing for Chloe, and that he is slowly changing, but I guess I was wrong" She giggles, happily.

•YELLOW-SPREE HIGH SCHOOL•
Alexis sits in the chair of her classroom, jotting down something on her notebook.
Candy entered the class, and she smiled when she saw Alexis.
Alexis might be bossy, but Candy and James still considers her as their friend.
"What are you doing?" Candy asked, sitting beside her.
"I am trying to figure out a way to lie to my dad and Chloe, and I found a perfect way to do so, and you know what it is?"
Candy shook her head.
"Since the semester just resumed, I will be needing new textbooks, so I made a graph"
"I don’t understand, Alexis"
"Sure you won’t, cuz you have an ant brain"
"Alexis" Candy pouted.
"Whatever. Well, I will be lying to them about the prices of my textbooks"
"Why Alexis? You already know how Chloe works so hard at her sugarcanes plantation, and also how hard your dad works his butts at the station"
"And does it look like I care? My dad choose to be a cop rather than doing something benefiting, and Chloe, she chose to date a pauper. I need to change the clothes in my closet, but I don’t have the money to, and since Chloe and my dad won’t give me the money for it, I need to lie to them about my schooling, cuz that’s the only way, they’d give me the money"
"If you want to live a fancy lifestyle, then get it yourself. Don’t blame your sister and your dad for not giving you the life you want, cuz they are trying their best to send you to school. Yellow-spree is an expensive school, James and I were able to attend this school cuz of a scholarship. You don’t have the brain to pass a scholarship exam, but Chloe made sure you attend your dream school, and this is what she gets in return? You should focus on your studies, not thinking about how to live a luxurious life!" Candy said and Alexis slapped her.
As if it wasn’t enough, Alexis grabbed Candy's hair.
"Are you trying to rub it on my face that you’re smarter than me? You have no right to lecture me, Candy. I didn’t ask for this life, so why should I bear it? FYI, I am going to get a rich boyfriend soon, and he’d give the life I want!" Alexis shouted at Candy.
"How can you think about having a boyfriend, you’re just fifteen?!"
"Don’t tell me what to do!!" Alexis pushed Candy, and her back landed on the desk.
"If you ever tell my family about my plans, I am going to feed you to the vultures" Alexis threaten and leaves the classroom.
Candy began to cry, cuz she knew despite what Alexis did, she is still going to talk to Alexis again.

•LOUNGE, NIGHT•
Philip keeps giggling from ear to ear as he chatted with his secret girlfriend.
He has a secret girlfriend, who neither Vinson or Damien know.
He keeps telling them he is single, whereas the real truth is that he is seeing someone but chose to keep it a secret.
I also miss having you in my arms
Philip typed on his phone with a smile.
"What’s making you so happy?" Damien asked, and Philip quickly hid his phone, fidgeting.
"When…did you…you…get here?" He asked.
"A while ago, you didn’t notice cuz you were so busy with your phone. Who were you chatting with?" He asked.
"No one" Philip said, sharply.
"Here you go again, if you’re seeing someone, just say it, and stop doing hide and seek"
"I’m not dating anyone. I don’t have time for dating, I pretty busy with work" He said.
Philip owns a web-toon company, and his web-toons series are always the best selling books in New York. He is a very good cartoonist, and his books are always epic.
"Fine, if you say so. Where is vinson?"
"He is with Maya" Philip answered, excepting Damien to say something as usual.
"Okay" He sat down, lighting a cigarette.
"Just okay?"
"Yeah. What else do you want me to say?" Damien asked.
"The real Damien would have mocked him for being crazy over Maya"
"Why should I mock a man who is in love? He should love her with all his heart"
"Why is your language changing? You were never in supportive of romance"
"I got bitten by a love bug" Damien answered, flashing a smile at Philip.
"Are you sick? Or did someone switch bodies with you?"
"It’s still me. Is just that I am no longer myself" He drops the cigarette and look at Philip.
"You’re good at romance, right? Your web-toon series are always the best selling books, so can you give me tips. I have never been in love before, so I don’t know how to make her forgive me"
"What’s going on? I don’t understand"
"I am going to explain everything to you, but right now, I need tips. She is mad at me for what I did, and I want her to forgive me"
"Who is she?"
"The most prettiest girl I have ever seen" Damien smiled.
"Don’t me you are…."
"Yes I am in love, funny right?"
Philip nodded his head with a surprise look on his face.
"So please help me, I dunno what to do to make her love me back" Damien said, but Philip kept looking at him.
He was speechless, cuz he knew Damien was someone who wasn’t ready to fall in love.
How did it happen?

•THREE DAYS LATER•
Chloe came out from the library. She is a novel freak, and her best stories were from Philip’s company. She is big fan of his web-toon series. She also dreamed of becoming a cartoonist.
On coming out from the library, she discovered it’s raining.
"Oh no, what am I going to do?" She muttered, cuz she wasn’t with an umbrella.
She tried calling Brian, but figuring out that he might be at work, she decided not to.
"Maybe I should go home like that" She was about entering the rain, when an umbrella covered her.
She slowly raised her head and sees Damien smiling at her. He likes head-warmers a lot, cuz he was wearing one right now.
"What are you doing here?" She asked, and Damien smiled.
"Is this not a scene where the male lead goes to the female lead cuz it’s raining?"
"We are not in a web-toon, Damies"
"Damies, I like that" He smiled.
"What are you doing here?" She asked again.
"Well, I have been following you all day. Am I not romantic?" He asked, still smiling.
Chloe chuckled.
"Are you always this way?"
"No. I’m only like this when I am with you" He winks at her.
"You are crazy" Chloe said, smiling at him for the first time.
"This is the first time you’d smile at me, and I love it"
"Stop joking around. I will allow you take me home, since you are the only one available right now"
"I am not with my car"
"Why?"
"I purposely ditched it, so I can share an umbrella with you. I heard it happen in those romance web-toon. I’m the male lead and you’re my female lead" He smiled.
"Quit the act, cuz there’s no way I’d share an umbrella with you"
"Really? Then have a nice day waiting for the rain to stop" Damien said, turning to leave with the umbrella in his hand.
"Wait!" Chloe said, wrapping her hands on Damien’s wait, so that the umbrella will cover her.
Damien looked at Chloe's hands that stayed firmly on his waist.
"So sweet!" He giggled, happily.
