Chapter 11

“Yo, aren’t you going home?” Patrick asked Ella as he stood in front of her desk. Behind him, were Marcus and Anthony who were also carrying their backpacks. “I am, of course. Why?” Ella stopped stuffing her notebooks inside her bag as she looked up to the guy in front of her, who was looking more impatient by the minute.“Well, aren’t you coming?” The basketball ace continued.“No. Why should I? I thought you would be going home with J

“… and then Marcus’s pants dropped down suddenly in front of the class.” Patrick shared as he belted out a laugh, to which Jasmine followed suit with her gentle chuckles. “It was an accident, of course, but the damage has been done, so instead of feeling embarrassed about it, Marcus just decided to own it. Since then, he had been the prankster of the class.”Jasmine’s eyes widened, as she continued asking him questions. “Does Marcus ever get scolded?” Patrick thought she looked so cute doing so.“All the time! I can’t even begin to tell you how many tim

Her tall classmate sighed in defeat. “Alright. I guess I’ll still go with you. Who knows if you’ll still do some dumb shit like that again?” She fixed him with a look and asked exasperatedly, “Are you gonna let go of that or what? Come on! I still have to study!”Patrick grumbled all the way as he marched away from her. Ella followed, kind of amused with how this guy was acting.

Chapter 15

The three boys were huddled around her seat when she arrived at the classroom’s door and they seemed to be talking in hushed voices. Ella could not help her forehead from creasing seeing how weird they were being, and on top of that, they decided to do it in her seat. She walked with the determination to question them about their weirdness when she felt someone pulling her by her arm. When she turned to the person who did it, she saw Tish, Patrick’s number one fan girl in the classroom.

Tish pulled her outside the door where she found her other classmates who were known members of the basket

Chapter 16

The bell rang to signal the end of the class and students scrambled to get the hell out of the classroom to go wherever they needed to go to. For Patrick, it was to somewhere romantic so that he could ask Jasmine to be his girlfriend. Ella was told it was to the Italian Restaurant where he had a reservation for the two of them, while for her, it was to wait for her uncle at the school gate to tell him that Jasmine had to go to Bella’s house for a group study. That was the task Patrick gave her when he saw her after lunch. After that, she had to go to the coffee shop to meet her Math teacher and tutor for their lessons. Everything should go according to the plan, Ella thought.
