Julia's POV
I witnessed my mother's furious expression as I opened the front door, holding my baby in her arms.
As soon as I entered the house, she yelled angrily, "Where the heck were you from?!"
I was taken aback by what she had just asked and couldn't help but respond, "What kind of mother fails to remember to pick up her child from school? You haven't given me some money either."
She handed Shan to me right away, "I've spent the entire day caring for your child. Probably, my reason will convince you to learn to go home alone."
I just headed upstairs, ignoring Mom. I often feel as if I don't recognize Mom anymore if she's that nasty and harsh towards me, but who am I to blame her? It's because of me and she's become the way she is.
When Dad came into my ro
Julia's POVI checked myself in front of the mirror in my comfortable oversized blue-striped shirt, which I had paired with my favorite ripped jeans, and I had accessorized with my Chanel belt, and a pair of white sneakers.When I checked my phone, it was already quarter to seven o'clock, and John hadn't arrived yet. Mom is still busy, so I haven't been able to get her permission. Of course, I asked Dad's permission beforehand, and he said it was fine.I grabbed my small sling bag and escorted Shan from the room. I went downstairs to mee
Julia's POVI looked at John as he parked his car at quarter to ten in the evening, and I said,"John, thank you so much for your time tonight. I must confess that I was delighted and very touched by what you did earlier.""It's nothing. I told you I'd take care of everything for you, right?""That was incredible! I can't believe it! And I've never been treated like that before. That is one of the reasons I love you.""I love you, too,"he said gently, and before I knew it, there was just an inch between us, and when I closed my eyes, it was the touch of our lips."That was very sweet.""You're so sweet. So, I'll go inside and you can go home as well. It's starting to get late,"
Kate's POVWhen I spotted the two famous couples on campus, I faked a smile. I really want to smack her. They also were clutching each other's hands. I used to be the one holding John's hands, but now he's been abducted by others.I put my hands over my ears when I heard women chatting."Oh! Julia is very lucky to have found John Anderson as her boyfriend!""YES! I saw them in Hugot Coffee Shop the other day.""Yes, I agree! I initially mistook them for models, but it's just them!"
Julia's POVI began to look for Derek throughout the school. I've looked in every building at the school and still haven't found him. He didn't even know I was missing my necklace since he didn't play yesterday at their basketball practice.I need to find him since he is the only person who is aware of my one and only top secret. Though he is unaware of the necklace, I am sure that only he is capable of understanding me.I'm concerned since I haven't seen my missing jewelry. I couldn't lose it because I knew it was just there on the bench unless someone took it.All I want is for my necklace to fall into good hands and be returned to me without anyone knowing my secret."Derek!"I exclaimed as I approached Derek as he exited from the Theater Art Studio.He turned around and
Julia's POVI was listening to our Teacher's conversation when suddenly Queen called out to me,"Are you and John all OK, girl? Something seems to be going on between you two,"Queen whispered softly to me."We just need space, and we have a serious problem. In any case, it's a long story. We're both busy at the moment, so we'll talk soon,"Queen's eyes widened in surprise at what I stated.Who wouldn't be surprised and perplexed by this? It's happening so fast because it happened all of a sudden. It seems like only yesterday that the two of us were OK, but now, nothing. It's broken because I'm scared of destroying the two of us if I reveal the secret.After a few hours, we were on the final subject when the bell rang, signifying the end of class and lunch break, so I rushed out of school.&n
John's POVIt's Saturday, and I murmured when I heard the doorbell rang. I looked at the clock on the wall and saw that it was eight o'clock in the morning.They have no idea I'm still tired, and they're disturbing my sleep! My parents are also not here because they left early in the morning for Cagayan de Oro.I went downstairs with mixed feelings because my sleep was being disrupted by this guest. When I opened the door and saw Kate, I was gobsmacked."Hey, baby!"she would have kissed me just before I turned away from her."Woah, chill out! What exactly are you trying to do? And, Kate, what are you even doing here?"I'm not sure why she's here. Isn't it obvious that I d

The National Athletic Meet is also near and it will be held in Tagum City."Yeah, Dad told me that. Torture again!"I answered him and he just rolled his eyes.We stood at a bulletin outside the building while waiting for Queen because we had lunch together since we had a whole day today.Now that they're dating, they seem inseparable."Guess who it is,"Queen said changing her voice even more as she cove
John's POVI was sleeping when someone barged inside my room and jumped on me, "Wake up there! Come on, wake up bro!""Oww! Chill! I'm awake!" I woke up in no time because my back hurt, also I got muscle cramps hurt because we practiced, "Your so heavy, bro! What are you doing here? The fact that it's still early," I stood up from my bed and stretched my body."Nothing. I came here because I want to hear your explanation or your side about you and Kate. What really happened?" He said so I closed my eyes because of that."You know, let's have coffee first and that's where I'll tell you all."I got dressed first before we left my room. When we went down, I found Mom who had just finished cooking our breakfast.She looked at us and our Mother said, "Good, you're here,
