  Lyra POV   I slam my locker’s door smashing my head lightly on it. I am proudly to say that this is my worst day EVER!   Back on my old home town, all of my old classmate had their rest for this month and for me? I have nothing. I got the Salutatorian place, unlucky me to not attend the ceremony this day and I hate it. The rules and policy about this town was different from others. After graduating in high school, 1 week after the graduation all of the students must enter the University before having a two months-vacation after the first and second semester. But I think it’s kind of cool since we have two months-vacation and back to school again to continue the third and last semester.   I sigh, walking towards the loud crowd.   “Bad day?” I jumped in surprise when a familiar deep voice whispered in my ear, feeling his hot breath that sends electricity to my body.   “Totally.” I groaned removing my head to my locker to look at him.   “Mom told me that we’re going to have a family dinner tonight with your family.” He leans on the other locker as he crossed his hands, smiling a little at me.   “Yep.” I said popping the ‘p’, “Guess like our parents are too close, do you know about their friendship?” I asked putting my right hand in my pocket jeans and lean.   “Yeah. My mom talks so much about them of how great they are being their friends. They’ve been in a fight before and well, they still have this bond of friendship and safe.” What? “I mean you know by the other people who want to separate them especially to their relationship? My mom told me too that someone almost tried to break my parents apart before. But thanks to your parents, they’ve done something incredible to fix the problem.” He said and I stay silent.   How haven’t I known about this before? My parents never mention a bit about their old hometown and about their best friends.   I really thought before that they’re just like me who doesn’t have a friend.   “D-Did you know my parents that much?” I gulped as I asked.   He looks at me in wonder before answering, “Very. They sometimes visiting here before all of you moved in. You didn’t know?” I nodded my head.   “How come?” He asked as I shrugged my shoulder.   “They never mentioned their past lives, I keep on asking them where did they grown up but they're always changing the topic and ignoring my question. I am so confused why didn’t they let me and Levi come with them when they are visiting here. That’s why we didn’t know about your parents.” I said and frown.   I felt embarrassed when Rowena wanted to talk to me, I keep on stuttering and feeling the uncomfortable atmosphere with her. Yesterday, she asked me if I want to go shopping with her but I refused since I have school. I felt sorry about her but she said she was okay with it and there’s another day that I don’t think I can go with her comfortably.   “Right. That’s why you don’t know everything.” He sighed, running his hand on his hair as I give him a furrow brow.       “Don’t know what?”   “Who’s Levi?” I looked up to him and saw his teeth clench. He didn’t answer my question.   “My brother.” He nodded his head sensing his relief.   Okay?   “You will know it soon when your parents are ready to tell you everything. Don’t stress your mind so forget what I have said.” He says and pull himself up to stand straight before dragging me by pulling my arms.   The cells on my skin rushed and sparks erupted when his skin connected into mine. I don’t know but every time he touches me, the same feelings always coming up making my mind go crazy all the time. My mind reminding me that this feeling is too dangerous but my heart keeps on pulling me that I need to embrace it. Like he was destined to me.   But what the hell was he talking about? Don’t stress my mind? How can’t I stress my mind when your parents were hiding something to you?     I just nod my head to him and allow him to pull me towards my class.   Our tracks stopped when a brown haired girl stop in front of us with smirk plastered on her face.     “Hey baby.” She said in flirt tone, putting her hands on chase’s chest.   Chase moves backwards, leaving her hands in the air still smirking. “What do you want, Carol?” He tightened his grip on my hand but not that tight that he might hurt me.   “You really know what I want. I want you.” She said, and her eyes landed to our hands with glare.   Who is this girl?   “That will never ever go to be happen. Do you have no respect?” He asked angrily making me wince of his tone. His voice is hard and cold, wondering what this girl do to him make him angry that much? I actually know that she was a bad influence, a slut based on her outfits, and based on her character she was wearing. Short stripe skirt, white revealing sleeve less top making her boobs pop up and high pointed heels.   “I don’t. Because you don’t have any chance to find her, you will end up being with me.” She said, crossing her arms on her chest.   Find who?   What the hell are they talking about? Can I excuse myself to leave? Because I can find no reason to stay. I can also feel jealous on me and that was really wrong.       “Guess like you’re mistaken. Haven’t you notice?” Chase gave her a smug look.   Carol look at me with a glare before her gaze landing to our collided hands and look back to Chase who is smirking at her.   “No. This is not true.” She shakes her head like she doesn’t believe on what she saw.   “Believe what you believe, but I’m telling you the truth. Though I didn’t found her in case, I still don’t want to put myself into you.” A pain wrote on down her face, but it suddenly faded and immediately change into anger.   “Why are you playing hard to get, your Majesty?” She asked shaking her head and tears forming through her eyes.   You Majesty? Right. I forgot that he was the most popular guy in the campus who everyone respects.   “Because I am willing to wait to the person who will be mine someday rather than you. If you don’t want to deal with me in a harsh manner, stay out of my sight before I kick you out.” He said coldly, and Carol huff in response before walking away with her heels clicking on the floor like a horse.   “Who was that?” I said when he looked at me.   “A popular slut of the pa-school.” He looked away.       “Okay?”   * * *   “Where are you going?” I asked Levi who is combing his hair, standing in front on his mirror.   He is handsome to his black jeans and white v-neck shirt. Girls will drool and glued their body to his when they see him. I was so proud to have a brother like him, the only thing I don’t want to him is that he’s playing girls around.   “Jack, my new friend invited me to his party tonight. I already told mom about this and she agrees. So, chill.” He ran his hand to his hair to fix it again and grin.   “So you’re leaving me alone with them all night?”   “Nope. I’ll be back in 2 hours to join you there. I want my big sister to be alone with the adults, she will be going to get their stagy.” He scrunched up his nose and smile.   “Ha ha ha. Whatever. Shoo! You’re going to be late and I don’t want to stuck being with our parents tonight with another adult.” I pushed him out of his room, hearing him chuckle before going out of the house.   Now, it’s my turn to get ready. My mom said to be a while ago that I should wear something that makes me feel comfortable and since the Woods family knew me already but still wants to know me better even if they haven’t saw me before. I honestly want to sulk to my parents but I can’t. I know they had a reason for this.   As I went to my room, I took a quick shower since I already took one earlier this morning. Putting my blue short and white off shoulder shirt matching a gray sweater that wraps around my waist, I put some make up but suddenly the door burst open just to see my mom smiling at me.   “Chase is here. He will wait you since me and your dad will be heading now. You know who he was, right?” I nodded my head. “Well then, I’ll see you in minutes.” She kissed my cheeks and added, “I’ll tell him to go here. Be quick.” Before she went out, she gave me a wink making my cheeks flushed.   Shaking my head, I pull myself in the mirror opening my drawer to take my make-up kit. I honestly don’t want to put much on my face, I used to be natural and Levi doesn’t want me to put fake things to me to make everybody thinks that I’m pretty.   I’m just wearing make ups when there are some special events or occasion. No need to wear one in school since it feels irritating on my skin when I wear make-up that long.   I jumped in surprise when the door suddenly open AGAIN and saw Chase smiling widely towards me with his hands tucked inside of his pocket jeans. My eyes roamed his body as I gulp too hard because of how hot he was today. Gray v-neck shirt and black pants…shit! His abs almost see-through!   Someone touched my jaw and I didn’t notice that jaw was opened as he closed it seeing him smirking at me. Looking away to his direction, I cleared my throat before opening my make-up kit to hide my red cheeks.   THAT IS SO EMBARASSING.   “Guess like you aren’t still ready.” He said and I gulp, sensing his body through my back as he came closer to my direction.   My heart skips a beat when his intense scents hit my nostril making my knees weak. “Y-Yeah. I-I just d-do something earlier that’s why.” I stuttered, looking down to my hand that is holding the brush.   “Right.” I nod, and I opened the liquid eyeliner to put some of my eyelids but it was suddenly snatch by someone behind me.   Looking shocked to that person who is holding my eyeliner and smirk plastered on his face, I glared at him when he takes my things surprising me as he puts it back to its place.   “What are you doing?” I stupidly asked at him.   “I prefer seeing you without make up. Lt’s go, you are perfectly ready.” He said and he pulls my hand to go outside my room but stop him by taking my hand out of his grip.   His touch…it gives me too much thrill and excitement inside of me. I also can feel the sparks and electricity flowing up and down to my body.       “B-But-“   “No buts. If I complement to a girl I like, I never lie to her.” My eyes widened in surprise because of his outburst and when he leans his head down to mine. Immediately, he captured a kiss on my cheek almost touching the side of my lips.   What. The. Hell?   What is happening?   Did he just say a girl he liked?   He moves back, smiling at me and drag me again to go out of the house with our hands lock to each other.
