Maxine’s Point of View


    Ahk! I can’t believe this! Even GH knows that Belle and Alyn weren’t really dating! Wow, how could they do this to me? So, I’m the only one who doesn’t know about that. I was thest one to know. Oh, my gosh! I hate this.


    Every morning when I see Alyn and Belleing out of Alyn’s room, it’s scripted. The truth is that Belle sleeps in Giles’ room and then she wakes up in the morning to move to Alyn’s room to pretend that she really slept there. They nned it in the first ce so that I could realize how I really feel. Alyn did that to make me jealous. He can’t express his feelings because I always push him away so that’s what he thought to do. Damn it.

    “Oh, congrats,” GH said as soon as Alyn and I entered the dining area.


    “Huh?” My lips parted. Congrats? What does he mean?


    GH smiled, “Don’t worry, you can still live here even if we find your family.”


    My forehead furrowed in confusion. I don’t understand GH. Did something happen that I didn’t know about? Oh, and about my family. Is he referring to my biological parents? Is he looking for them? When else and why didn’t he tell me?


    I turned to Alyn because I couldn’t understand what GH was saying. Luckily, Alyn noticed that I was looking at him so he turned to me as well.


    “He’s talking about our rtionship,” he said.


    O-Our rtionship? Wait, I confessed to him earlier at school and he epted my confession, so that means… Are we dating now? W-We are a newly couple? And GH knows?!


    My face heated and averted my eyes. Oh, damn it. We’re together now but why hasn’t this feeling haven’t change. As if I’m still liking him from afar. Can’t my heart beat normally? Haa, why does it have to beat this fast?


    “Aren’t you going to sit down yet?” Giles asked now that Belle was next to him.


    “Let’s eat,” Alyn held my hand and we went together to the dining table.


    He pulled out a chair for me before he sat down next to me. While we were eating something suddenly entered my mind so I asked GH.


    “GH,” I called him. “Aren’t you surprised that Alyn and I are dating?”


    “Huh?” He cleaned his lips using the table napkin, “Why would I?”


    “You knew that Belle and Alyn were together, didn’t you?” I asked.


    “Ah…” he nodded when he realized what I meant, “Nope. It was all an act.” Then, heughed, “Am I a good actor?”


    My forehead furrowed, “What do you mean?”


    “Do you think I’ll let you stay on an ind just the two of you if Belle and Alyn are really lovers?” He asked.


    So, what does he mean?


    “You knew they weren’t really together but you pretended you didn’t know?” I asked.


    He took a deep breath, “The truth is, Alyn informed me ahead of time. Before I arrived here he told me everything. He really likes you and he needs to make you jealous so he told me about Belle and their n. And because I’m a nice grandfather, I granted him a wish. However, regarding your stay on the Ind, it wasn’t his idea. It was mine. ”


    Wow, I can’t… My brain can’t absorb all he said.


    I stared at him for a few more seconds before my brain finally absorbed all he said. I turned to Alyn and red at him.


    “You…” I gritted my teeth.


    “What?” He turned to me, “I just did what could make you confess to me.”


    “But you could just confess your feelings to me! Why did you do that?!” I shouted.


    “Because I love you,” he put my hair behind my ears.


    What the- damn! My heart seemed to soften immediately because of what he said. Why do I feel like I’m always weak when I’m close to Alyn? I mean… I’m weak in his handsomeness.


    “B-B-But,” oh, fuck. Why am I stuttering? I don’t want to say what I’m going to say anymore! Even my tongue does not associate with me.


    “Let’s eat, hmm?” He smiled.


    Fuck you, don’t smile at me like that! My heart might melt… Damn it. He’s so handsome and he’s mine.


    I averted my eyes and just looked at my food, “How about Belle and you going out from your room?”


    Belleughed and that irritated me. What the heck?


    “Oh,e on~ Are you jealous of me?” Belle asked.


    “Huh?” My left brow arched, “No way.”


    “Enough,” Giles entered the conversation.


    “Your girlfriend started it first, I was just asking,” I rolled my eyes.


    Giles sighed, “Belle sleeps in my room but she wakes up early to go to Alyn’s room because that’s part of the n.”


    What the? Wow, they are really smart. They are smart when ites to this but they are in thest section in school.


    “What about the others? If GH knew what about Byron, Sid and… Louis?” When I uttered Louis’ name I bowed my head.


    We haven’t talked about what happened earlier, yet.


    “I know about that,” said Byron.


    Sid raised his hand, “Me too!”


    “Yeah, me too,” Louis answered.


    So, he knew? Is what he did earlier part of the n, too?


    “Then, what you did-” I couldn’t finish what I was going to say when he suddenly spoke.


    “What I was trying to do earlier wasn’t part of the n. Don’t ever think of that. I did that because I… I really like you,” Louis said.


    “Hey, shut it. She’s mine,” Alyn said and held my hand.


    “What? I just said what is true,” Louis answered and looked back at his food again.


    I heard Alyn click his tongue. I turned to him and smiled when I saw how dark his aura was. Pfft~ He’s even more handsome when he’s jealous.


    [End of shback]


    I walked down the hallway with Alyn. All the eyes of the students we pass are focused on us. Well, would I still wonder? I’m just in a rtionship with the king of this campus. Who wouldn’t look at us?


    Wow, I feel like I’m lucky. Come to think of it, all of the women who are madly in love with him, am I the one he likes. Talking about likes. When did Alyn really start liking me?


    I looked up to look at Alyn, when he noticed me looking at him, he turned to me and smiled. Handsome.


    “When did you find out you liked me?” I asked, directly.


    “All of a sudden?”


    “Why? Just answer it,” I pouted.Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org.


    “I don’t know exactly when. It suddenly urred to me that I might like you when I enjoy teasing you and I get bored when I’m not teasing you.” He said as he looked down at our path.


    I just bit my lip so hard because I couldn’t answer. I couldn’t answer because of the extreme thrill I was feeling.


    Can I wish for us to stay like this forever? Hopefully none of us will change feelings for each other.
