?THE
DIAMONDS?
(She likes him,
but he’s cold-hearted?)
Episode 15
By: Faith Lucky
Cali’s Pov:
I remained standing for a long time, thinking of what to do.
How will I walk back to my room half n@ked? What have I done to myself?
I looked around and discovered the area was still dark and quiet and there didn’t seem to be anyone around.
Well, I guess I’ve learnt my lesson.
Slowly, I started walking away.
I turned to look at the window and I found him still staring at me.
G0sh!
Why does he keep staring huh??
I’m pretty sure he’s enjoying the view.
I can’t believe this guy humiliated me this way.
I increased my pace and tried walking faster. I was so scared of turning around to look at him.
I walked and took a turn, going out to a place where there were few students around.
Oh God!
I stopped walking and took a look at my body. Can I walk this way??
I took in a deep breath and thought for a while.
Seriously, I don’t think there’s an escape from this. I guess I’m doomed.
I continued walking, trying as much as possible to avoid eye contacts with anyone.
Well….isn’t this what most ladies wear to swim? And even Fashion Parade?
Hmph.
I scurried pass the students who were turned to look at me.
“Woah!! What an ass!” I heard one of them say and it got to a point I started running.
I ran and ignored all the side talks and forgetting the fact that my a$$ were probably bouncing.
Oh God!
I’ll never forget this day in my life.
Thank goodness only a few people saw me. And they’re people I didn’t even know.
I finally got to the entrance of my apartment and stopped running. Gosh! I was breathing so heavily.
I kept my eyes glued to the floor as I scurried in. At least, even if anyone gets to see me, it’ll be ladies and…I don’t have to be shy around them. Right???
The few I came across kept staring at me like I was weird or something.
*Woah! I bet she just finished a round. But is that the reason she didn’t make use of her clothes?* I heard one of them say in her head and felt like biting her.
I increased my pace, walked and ran and finally, I got to my room.
Oh. Thank you, dear Lord.
As soon as I opened the door and got in, I heaved a huge sigh of relief and leaned on the door.
Thank goodness the lesbians weren’t in the room – just the quiet room mate. She was reading a book as usual and shot me a surprised stare as I walked in..
I left the door and went to my luggage, rifling through it and bringing out something nice and simple to wear.
A shot and T-shirt.
Finally, I’m human again.
Oh! Miquel. Now, I get why everyone is scared of him. I don’t think he has a heart at all.
No; I don’t think so.
Geez!
I recalled that cold look in his eyes when he’d asked me to str!p. I recalled how he’d smirked when I’d taken off my shirt, exposing my halfly popped out b**bs.
Despite my pleadings…
And worst of it all – He’s still got my necklace. Can it ever get worst?? Huh?
The quiet lady had taken her eyes back to her book and I decided to speak with her. She’s the confessor right?
I went to her bed and sat next to her and she displayed a startled look.
“Hi” I smiled, looking at her.
“H-h-hi” she stuttered, almost making me laugh, but I stopped myself.
“Um…do you need something?”, she asked.
“Nope. Just…wanted to say hi” I replied with a shrug and her brows furrowed her brows in surprise.
“Re…Really?” She asked.
“You…aren’t scared of me?”
“And why would I be scared of you?” I chuckled.
“You aren’t a monster, are you?”
She smiled and looked down at her book for a second.
“Well…since I came to the institute, you’re the first person coming close to me. Everybody despises me – they’re all scared of me because they think just a touch from me can turn them into my slaves for ever” she replied and I finally got a grip of what she was saying.
Oh!
“Although,” she continued.
“I’ve been trained and taught on how to control it, but there are still looking at me like the same person I was when I’d newly arrived.
“At first, I didn’t have control of my powers. As we’re seated here together, just a mere skin touch and you’d be confessed. Back then, I’d accidentally confessed four people – two died trying to protect me. And I ordered the other two to go far away because of how crazy they were acting over me.
“As a result, everyone became scared of me and avoided me like a plaque. So…you wouldn’t blame me if I’m surprised you’re coming close to me” she concluded, leaving me speechless for a few seconds.
Wow! I can’t believe she’s been going through this.
What a gift – gift that scares people away
“Well…” I said after the silence.
“I don’t think I’m scared of you. And you don’t have to worry. Soon enough, everyone will learn to accept you. Okay?” I said with a smile, my hand on hers and she nodded.
“So…I’ve noticed you’re always reading. Care to explain?” I asked and she chuckled and stared at the book.
“Well…I don’t any friend or anyone to talk to. So, I just prefer reading when I’m chanced and bored” she replied and I felt so much pity for her.
G0sh!
“I’m really sorry about that – the rejection” I hushed.
“Yeah…its nothing. Thanks”.
I stared into her book and started reading with her and after a while, I went over to my bed and slept.

Next_morning.

“Owennnn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” I found myself screaming in the dream and woke up with that same shock.
I panted as I sat up with a full force and my room mates looked at me in a started manner.
Oh my God! It was a dream.
Just a dream!!
Geez!
I breathed in heavily and touched my forehead. It was damn so scary.
I dreamt of my brother – Owen.
He’d gone for a party and ended up dead.
What’s that supposed to mean, huh? Why would I suddenly dream of him??
“Cali, are you alright?” Nina came asking.
“Yeah…I’m fine. It…it was just a nightmare” I replied and she nodded and left , going into the bathroom.
G0sh! That was terrible. Why did I have to dream something like that?
“Did you dream your a$$ was cut out or what?” One of the l*sbians asked and I just shot her a stare and didn’t reply.
Crap.
I left the bed and went ahead to brush my teeth and as soon as Nina was out of the bathroom, I went in and took my bath.

When I returned from the bathroom, I found the l*esbians kssing and laughing on the bed.
I dried my body, put on some clothes and got set to leave.
Nina was sitting on the bed.
“Don’t you have classes today?” I asked her.
“Uh…of course,I do. I actually have one this morning. Intellectual study” she replied.
“Oh! That’s where I’m headed. Come on; we can go together”.
She mouthed an “okay” and stood up and we left room together.
As soon as we got out, I met Diane walking towards us.
“Ah! Thank goodness you’re done already” she said with relief but stopped when she saw Nina beside me.
“Hi Diane” I greeted but she kept her eyes fixed on Nina
“Yeah….good morning” she said.
“Good morning” Nina also said and I figured I’d to step in.
“Um…she’s headed for the same class as we. So, I thought it’d be best if we went together” I explained to Diane.
“Oh! I see. Well, come on. We’re running late for now” she said and we continued walking together.
We walked for a long time and got to the class but surprisingly, all the students were standing instead of sitting.
What’s going on?
We walked in and joined them.
“Why’s everyone standing?” I asked Diane beside me, but she couldn’t even give me a reply.
The female teacher was in front of the class and shortly, Miquel and his guards walked in.
Ooops!!
Holy Molly!!!
The students expressed their surprise and excitement as he sauntered in and stood in front of the class.
“Okay; y’all can sit now” the teacher announced and everyone took their seats.
Oh!!
So, we couldn’t seat while the king was walking in??
My heart skipped as I remembered the previous night’s incidence.
God! Please, I just hope he doesn’t see me. I don’t want him to.
I stared at him from the back where I sat and couldn’t help but admire him – despite his cruelty.
G0sh! His looks were killing.
Hair, eyes, lips, charms…everything!
How can someone this cute be so cold hearted, huh?
But…why’s he even here?
What’s wrong?
“Everyone listen up”, one of his guards started and immediately, my eyes ran into his – Miquel.
Oh, God!!
I found him staring at me!!!
I twitched and lowered my head, feeling so scared to look at him..
“I have an important announcement to announce to y”all – coming from the president” the guard continued.
“Today, you’ll be going on a mission”.
What?
