Asteria's POV

I was sitting on my bed in my room, flipping through a magazine which had photos of Aleksander with various models.

He is quite attractive.

Not only that, but the models were stunning. In comparison to these models, I'm nothing. They are extremely well-fitting and beautiful.

And he was stating that these ladies envious of me, they had had nothing to be jealous of. Instead, I was growing envious of these females. They were standing right next to him.

But there was something I observed. He wasn't smiling in any of these photos. His expression was solemn. He didn't smile as he usually does. It's as though he's a different guy here.

Someone barged into my room as I was still staring at his image.

It was my newly found best friend.

"Ria", she shouted and held me, causing both of us to fall fast on the bed.

She eventually gets up and smiles sheepishly.

"I'm sorry", she said, smiling.

"It's fine", I said, laughing.

"So, what were you doing?", she said, her gaze fixed on the magazine.

But she noticed it before I could hide it. She took a peek at the page I was reading or looking at.

"Looks like she's found her crush, huh?", she grinned, and my cheeks flushed.

"No, not at all. I was just looking at them", I lied.

"Of course", she remarked sarcastically.

"By the way, let me show you my pictures from the other day", she remarked as she showed me some of her photos.

"Wow, you look stunning", I exclaimed as I continued to look at her photos.

"And you know what? I got so many likes on these pictures", she said

"Likes?", I wondered.

"Wait a minute, let me show you", she continued, explaining that there is an app called Instagram where users upload photos and videos and engage with others.

And her post has received over 40k likes. She also showed me comments on her posts.

"Can I have that on my phone as well?", I inquired.

"Of course, give me your phone", she responded, and I handed her my phone, which Demi had given me.

It just had Demi and Pàpà's phone numbers. And, yeah, Rita aunty took a few pictures of me after I got ready for the party.

"I've created your profile, and now we need to decide which photo you want to post. Perhaps this one", she said, pointing to one of the photos Rita aunt had taken.

It was a candid shot. Aunt instructed me to twirl as she took the shot. I was smiling and my eyes were down as I twirl.

"I believe so", I said, and she nodded.

"Here we go", she said, posting it.

"I'm sure you'll get a lot of likes on this one. You look stunning in this photo, and I just hope your brother doesn't kill me for it", she remarked.

But before I could inquire why she was saying it, a maid arrived and beckoned us to lunch.

When we arrived downstairs, Demi and Aleksander were already seated. I wave at Aleksander, who looks at me with some emotion.
