?STAY AWAY FROM ME ?
EASTWOOD HIGH.
Kimberly opened her locker to take her books when she saw a note inside. Furrowing her eyebrows, she picked up the note.
“AH!” She gasped, dropping the note as she saw its contents.
“STAY AWAY FROM JAYDEN” was scribbled carelessly with red ink. She looked around the students, panting, but couldn’t find anyone suspicious.
Then her phone buzzed. She took it out and checked the message. Her eyes widened as she read it.
“I’m always watching you,” was texted to her by an unknown number. She immediately tried calling the number, but it wouldn’t go through.
Fear gripped her as she scanned her surroundings. She wasn’t the type to get scared easily, but somehow, this situation was getting to her.
Giving up on calling the number when it wouldn’t connect, she closed her locker hurriedly and left.
“Ah!” she yelped when a hand suddenly pulled her. Alarmed, she started htting the person frantically, not caring who it was.
“Kim! Kim! Stop! It’s me, Kim!!” Diego held her hands, stopping her. Kim looked at him, still panting heavily.
“Hey, are you okay?” Diego asked, worried, while she slumped to the floor, crying.
“Kim,” Diego called, shocked, while she cried even more.
Not knowing what to do, Diego squatted in front of her, pulling her into his arms as she wept.
“Wanna tell me what’s wrong?” Diego asked after she had calmed down.
“It’s nothing… I have to go,” she replied, standing up, but Diego held her back.
“Don’t be mad at me anymore, Kim… please,” he pleaded, while she glared at him.
“Get lost, Diego!” she snarled, leaving.
“SHE’S SICK!” Diego suddenly said, stopping her.
“Verna… she’s not in her right senses… she isn’t mentally stable… that’s why… that happened.”
“You call that an excuse, Diego… you’re really sickening… don’t talk to me, I hate you now,” she gnarled.
“But I love you! I still love you, Kim, and I regret everything that happened. If only… if only I could turn back time… then I would have resisted no matter what.”
“You’re too late… my love for you died the moment I realized the kind of bstard you are,” Kim said before walking away.
“Argh!!” Diego stomped his foot on the floor.

CAFETERIA.
Onda raised her head as Jade dropped his tray of food on their table.
“Why are you here?” Agnes frowned, while Jade raised his hands up in the air.
“Cool, young lady. Jay isn’t in school, and I feel super lonely,” he replied.
“So… go eat with those girls you fool around with,” Agnes scowled at him.
“Hey, easy there… you’re my friends, and I want to eat with you. Is that wrong?” he smiled at Onda, who let out a cough.
“Right, Pumpkin? Or should I leave, like she said?” Jade asked her.
“Uh?… ohhh… of course… we’re friends,” she said slowly, while Jade mussed up her hair.
“Let’s eat, friend,” Jade smiled at Agnes, who gave him a glare in return.
“By the way, where’s the lioness?”
“I haven’t seen her since we left class earlier… I don’t know either,” Onda replied.
“Where could she be?” Jade wondered.
“How long have you guys been friends?” Agnes asked.
“We met her during our first year, but she has been friends with Jay ever since she came to this world,” Jade replied simply.
“Childhood friends? But they don’t act like ones.”
“Exactly. Jay is always taunting her. One could mistake them as enemies.
I didn’t believe they were friends at first since they’re always at each other’s throats,” Onda said.
“But even though they fight a lot, I can tell those two really love each other. They just don’t show it.”
“Really?”
“Now that Jay is hurt and isn’t in school, Kim must be feeling down. Look, she isn’t even having her lunch.”
“Do you think she likes him more than a friend?”
“No, Kim likes Diego. She has had a crush on him since middle school. She told me herself.”
“Then what about Jay?”
“Hey, that boy is only after anything under the skirt. He probably doesn’t know the feeling of being in love.”
“And how would you know that?”
“Because he’s my friend. I know everything about him.”
“Not that… That’s how you are yourself.”
“Me? That’s not true.”
“Then do you have anyone you like? Like really like, not just because you want to be with them,” Agnes asked, while he remained silent. He looked around, and his gaze landed on Onda, who choked on her food.
Jade smiled.
“Come to think of it, I’ve never really thought about that.
Can there really be a girl I genuinely like?” he said, offering Onda water, which she accepted.
“You’re impossible, seriously,” Agnes gave him a glare while he grinned.
“Are you okay?” Agnes asked Onda, who nodded.
“But… how do you know if you like someone?” Jade asked, facing Onda.
“Uh?” Onda stuttered.
“How do you know exactly if you like someone?” Jade asked her again.
“But… why… me?” she stuttered.
“You must know, Onda, since you’ve read a lot of books,” Jade said.
“Ohhh….” Onda looked at Agnes.
“Well, you feel nervous whenever you’re with him or her. You feel butterflies, and your heartbeat accelerates.
You also feel excited, and… and you also find it hard to make eye contact with that person.
Being with him or her makes you feel complete, and the thought of him or her makes you smile…” she bit her bottom lip as she said this.
“Ummm…. I see,” Jade placed his hands on the table and stared at her.
“Wha… what are you… doing?” Onda asked, blinking her eyes repeatedly.
“I’m trying to feel the butterflies,” he replied simply.
“Uh?” Onda raised her brows while Agnes nudged him.
“Hey… what are you doing?”
“Why? I’m just trying to do as she said.”
“Why would you practice it on her?”
“Then should I practice it on you?” Jade faced her.
“You wanna die?” Agnes seethed.
“It won’t work with you since you can’t see me like that anyway, so…” He returned his gaze to Onda.
“I’m just going to try it with someone who can feel it,” he said while Onda looked away.
“This won’t do,” he stood up and went beside her.
“Wh… what now?” Onda asked while he only smiled, standing her up.
“Wh_” Before she could say a word, he pulled her into his arms, while Onda broke free immediately.
His arms wrapped around her tightly, and he rested his jaw
on her shoulder, he closed his eyes as well.
