"Where have you been? I tried calling you like two times. I almost thought you got lost." Ron said to me. Seriously? two times?? "I just ran into some friends." I smiled. He looked at me weirdly. "Boyfriend?" he asked, his gaze fixed on the road. "I told you, friend." I was busy texting Bella eabout earlier. "You don't want to come inside first?" I asked. "Nah. Kate probably home alone and I didn't want her to be mad at me that long." "You two live together?" I was curious. He smirked and said goodbye. Unbelievable "I'm home!" I said, and Mom greeted me back. I sometimes hate being the youngest. I have two brothers and one sister. They are all in college now. Well, Ron and Rex. Rania was probably still in her honeymoon mood since she got married a month ago. They leave me alone with mom and dad, who's always busy with work. Almost every day I'm home alone. But yeah, I got used to it. Ron and Rex are twins. But they didn't attend the same college. Rex was interested in being a doctor, while Ron was interested in being a businessman, just like my dad. And yes, My mom was also a doctor. I wonder why both of the twins wanted to be like mom and dad? Rania was a full-time housewife. Her husband didn't want her to work because he doesn't like her being tired. How sweet. And me? I haven't figured it out yet about what I am going to be. Although I'm already in my senior year. Yes. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't afraid. Dinner was fine. As usual, They keep asking about how I am doing at school. Dad also told me that if I haven't planned anything for my future, He wanted me to take over the family business just like what Ron is doing now. Well, I don't know. I'm not interested in business. My parents are cool. They're not those strict parents who won't let their children do anything they want. In fact, they let us choose what's best for us. Saying that we can already think of what's good and bad. Yeah, I suppose? I was bored that night. I didn't know what to do. And it's already 10 p.m. I can't sleep. I decided to take a walk around the neighborhood. Yes, I'm weird. Because most people were sleeping at this hour. While me? I'm walking around the stupid neighbourhood because I can't sleep. Mom was back at the hospital. She said they needed her there. While my dad's still up. saying that he had a lot of paper work to be done. tiring. I locked the door and took my coat. The breeze was cold. And I regretted just wearing shorts. Stupid. I decided to just have a walk. When I reached the nearest park, I heard someone singing. I was scared. Is that a ghost? "Hello?" I said, and the singing stopped. I have goose bumps all over me. "Hello?" again. Nobody. I sigh, sitting down on the bench. While I was busy in my thoughts, I heard someone singing again. This time it's getting closer. "Hello from the other side..." I heard someone whisper and when I turned around, I saw someone. I was startled. I was already on the ground. Ouch. My butt hurt. The person laughed. I mean, really laugh. Oh, I know now that he or she is annoying. "What are you doing here at this hour?" he asked, because he sounded like a boy. So he is. I didn't even know who he was, so I decided to stay on the ground. My butt still hurts. "Let me help you. I won't bite." He said, chuckling. And this scared the shit out of me. I reached for his hand when I finally saw his face. He let go of me and I ended up on the ground. Again, My butt is seriously hurting. He laughed again. Hmm, that's an improvement? He rarely laughed at school or even smiled. I managed to stand, but my butt is still hurting. "Ugh. Why are you even here?" I said annoyed. I really am because he made my butt hurt like hell. "Finding someone to kill? Yes." What? When he heard me not responding. He laughed again. Is he high? This Nicolas frightened me...Well, not really. He's weird, but I enjoyed being with him at the same time. "What are you exactly doing here?" He said as he sat on the bench. "Fishing elephants?" I shrug. And I didn't mean to make him laugh, but he did. That stupid remark made him laugh? Wow. He really is something. "That's stupid. Why can't you just tell me the truth?" he said. Huh? What 'truth'? "What do you mean?" I raise an eyebrow. "The truth is that you came here to stalk me." he smirked. Unbelievable. As much as I wanted to stalk him, right now. I just wanted to punch him. with my lips. Haha... I don't know why but he's weird from the Nicolas that I knew at school? "You think so highly of yourself." We sat in silence. I hate being silent when he's around me. "I can't sleep." I finally say. He didn't respond. Nicolas, you idiot, I sigh. "Same?" It sounded more like a question. I smiled, hoping that he could not see me. "You know..." he trailed off. My heart beats faster. My stomach is filled with butterflies. I'm dying. "I don't like you. I will never like you." he added. Wow. His words stung like hell. I obviously wanted to cry, but I kept it to myself. Well, at least I managed to make him hate me. Applause for myself. And when he says never, It hurt me a lot. "You don't even know me, Nicolas Flynn." Yes, I tried my best not to cry in front of him. I decided to leave. "Try me." he said. What? "Never mind. You won't understand it anyway." He said, and why do I feel insulted by his remarks? "You annoying, stupid, ugly tall human!" To be honest, I wasn't supposed to say that.

I’m not a fan of this work at first that’s why I’ve been putting off starting it so long but it gets a lot better as it goes, I can assure you that! And now, this book has become one of my favourite. I really enjoy reading and I highly recommend this. I have no complaints. “Youth” love sure do brings back a lot of memories 😆 and I really love the setting, it’s cute and wholesome, I have butterflies in my stomach the whole time. Still, I wish there’s more of this book...
