Chapter 2

"It's Cleo!" Jeziel said with hesitation.

(Cleo- Cora's crush since childhood)

Cora stopped talking and looks at Jeziel with sad expression. Cora's eyes darken and tear's fall down her face.

"I don't want to accept the marriage, but I can't disobey my father."- Jeziel said with guilt

"It's okay... It's fine really" Cora said with teary smile

"He didn't even like me at the first place anyway. It's okay, You two would be a great couple"

Jeziel hug's Cora tightly while apologizing to her. When the two childhood friends calm down, They knew that the two won't see each other again after this conversation. Because Jeziel's family we're moving faraway from Nicosia, They made a promise to meet again someday, And the two partied their ways.

After there conversation Cora went home to get ready for the party.

While Cora was heading to the place where the party is. When suddenly someone called her name, Cora looked around and saw her friend Angel

"Cora! There you are. I didn't see you in English class this afternoon. Where have you been?"-Angel ask

" English class? That's right I left school too early, I didn't even realize it. I was just meeting a friend and because of my excitement, I didn't even check the time." Cora said

" Your meeting a friend? Or boyfriend? He-he" Angel asked with a smirk on her face

"She's a girl."-Cora respond

" Ohh its a girlfriend then"-Angel

"It's not a boyfriend or a girlfriend. In fact, I didn't even have a crush."-Cora said

" You may not have today but maybe tomorrow you will-have crush"-Angel

Cora looked at Angel with disgusted face

"You're heading to the party right? Shall we go there together?"-Cora asked Angel

"Party? Partying is a waste of time." -Angel respond

"Ha! Why? I thought you love parties,"

-Cora asked

"I do, but not today. I couldn't come, because Im meeting up with my other father ' - Angel said

Cora stopped walking.

"Other father?"-Cora asked

"Will the one I've been calling dad for the rest of my life wasn't my real dad. And now I'm meeting up with my real father that I've never meet since childhood" Angel said with sadness.

Angel looked at Cora then Angel looked up at the sign written in it.

"Isn't this the place were the party is held?"-Angel asked while looking at the sign

Cora turned and look's at the sign

"Ahh… Yeah… It is." Cora turned to Angel

and said "Have a good night with your father."

'Angel smiled and left.'

'Cora arrived at room were the party was held.'

"Cora there you are. What took you so long?"-Luna

" I was with Angel."-Cora

"Angel? (Looks around) Where is she?" -Luna ask

"She's with her father, Celebrating or something"-Cora said (lie)

"Ohh, Okay. Come this way everybody is here"-Luna

They arrived at the table were class 2-A were at.

"Cora!!! I've missed you so much"

Narlea said while hugging Cora tightly

(Narlea one of Cora's group of friend)

"I missed you too but can't breathe"-Cora said while struggling to talk

" Sorry." Narlea said sincerely

Cora tap Narlea's head and after that she saw Melgie and Laurence screaming and shouting at each other again.

"What's your problem!? I already paid you by giving you a hand rewriting your report, Isn't that enough?-Melgie said while screaming at Laurence.

" It's enough, but the problem here is you made my report like a kids comic you draw all over it, you ruined it again!"

-Laurence said

When Cora was about to stop the two of them, when Shaira steps in and twisted their ears.

"Can you two just be friends for a second?"

-Shaira said

"Seriously, when will you two stop fighting?"-Cora asked

" If she's tall enough, If he's kind enough "

Laurence and Melgie said it at the same time.

They looked at each other and starts arguing again, Cora smiles because she noticed that both of them become closer than before.

While Cora was looking at them arguing

she notice that Shu was staring at her.

Cora's mind-[Why is he staring at me like that? Is it because I accidentally bumped into him?]

Cora looked at Shu again and then suddenly Shu stands up and he walks toward where Cora was standing

Cora's mind-[Oh no his coming towards me. What is he going to do with me?]

Cora closed her eyes and wasn't ready on what's going to happen next.

"Come with me"

- Shu whispered into Cora's ears.

Cora was stunned for a minute and just went after him. They arrived at the rooftop.

Cora's mind-[Why are we in the rooftop? Is he going to kill me here? No, No way I won't let that happened.]

"Hey"-Shu

"Please dont hurt me, I'm sorry for what I did to you in the hallway." Cora shouted.

Shu laugh and said "What are you saying?

I didn't bring you here to hurt you hahaha."

"Ha? You didn't? So what do you want from me then?"

-Cora ask

"Nothing. I just want to return this"-Shu

"Ahh? My bracelet!"-Cora said with relieve

Cora looked at Shu with embarrassment, She closed her eyes and said

"Thank you. And I'm really sorry for thinking of you like that. I thought you were going to hurt me for what happened this morning, But I swear it was an accident. So forgive me"Cora said while bowing her head for forgiveness.

Shu looks at Cora with stunned face, He crouch down and said.

" Your ugly when you're begging."

-Shu said without hesitation.

Cora open's her eyes and then punches Shu on the face without thinking about it,

Shu fell into the ground.

"Here I am apologizing while your making fun of me" Cora said angrily.

Then Cora went back from the party leaving Shu behind.

"Cora, Want some drinks?" Luna ask.

But Cora ignored Luna.

"What happened to her?"-Luna ask Carl

"Ha!? Who?" -Carl said

"Idiot, Pay attention look, Look at Cora she seems piss. Did something happen to her?"- Luna

"Hmm... I don't know, I'm not with her the whole time"- Carl

" Then ask your friend over there (points at Shu)" Luna

"Ohh no... He's not my friend but he is a little friendly." Carl

"Then? What are you waiting for go talk to him about what happens between him and Cora"- Luna requested

"Talk about Cora? what are their close?"

-Carl

"Urghhh... Just go talk to him (pushed Carl)"-Luna

[Carl walking to Shu]

" He-hey Shu Hattori the most handsome student in NN high school what's up?"

-Carl said confidently

Shu looks at Carl and thinking of him as a weirdo but Shu ignores Carl like his not even around.

".....Now, Don't be like that to your awesome classmate" Carl said it proudly

"And If this awesome classmate, want something from me, just get into the point. What do you want?" -Shu said coldly

Carl turns serious

"When you ask Cora to come with you, What did you said to her?" Carl asked

"I didn't said anything, I just return something to her"- Shu

" When Cora returns, She looks mad and want to ripped something or someone."

-Carl said seriously

"I'm sorry can you excuse me for a moment?" Shu ask

"Ha??"-Carl

Carl was wondering why Shu left just like that, so he keeps he's eyes on Shu.

Shu was going towards where Cora was.

Carl saw that Shu was dragging Cora out at the party. Carl couldn't believe what he saw, It was like saving his girl from the people who hurt her.
