CHAPTER 7
MIGUEL's P.O.V
When I got home, I went to my parents room to inform them about Manuel's condition. They had been in their room all morning till now so they knew nothing about what had happened. I was reluctant to tell them,but decided to on second thoughts since Manuel was their son and they are entitled to knowing everything about his present condition.
Just as I had expected, they were alarmed and ready to rush of to the hospital to meet him if not that I had assured them that Manuel was stabilized now and would be home shortly.
I left their room and returned to mine. This weekend was the worst ever, I wanted to call Natasha to help distract me but I kicked against the idea, she was way too clingy and a cheat. I had caught her making out with the best male basketballer in our school and threatened to tell Manuel. But she ended up confessing to me that she didn't love Manuel and just accepted his proposal because they had been friends for long and she didn't want to hurt his feelings when he asked. I had decided to tell her about Manuel's condition so she could at least feel sympathy for him but I only worsened the case, since she immediately broke up with him stating that she couldn't date someone who was at the verge of death. Few weeks after that, Manuel and I had a squabble and he accused me of taking Natasha from him. I was so pissed off and bluntly told him that Natasha was mine since beautiful things belonged to me. That's how I became close with Natasha, just to piss Manuel.
KIM JI AH's P.O.V
🎶N now your song is on repeat
N I'm dancing on to your heartbeat
When you're gone I feel incomplete
So if you want the truth, I just wanna be part of your symphony..
Symphony 🎶
🎶
I sang along to symphonies on the radio as Manuel drove me home in Miguel's car. He had left the keys with the doctor so we could drive home. I heard Manuel singing and I playfully hit his head "keep shut, you have a terrible voice" I lied
"Your voice is actually worst than mine" he said and I gave him a death glare.
"Don't let me murder you Manuel" I warned and he laughed.
We continued with the teasing until he arrived at my place. He parked his car and turned his face to me, without saying a word, he smiled.. I melted... didn't know what else to do, so I leaned closer to him and kissed him..slowly at first and after a few seconds, I felt him smiling on my lips and that intensified the kiss, I pushed my body closer to his, the center console being the only thing keeping our bodies apart, he slowly moved his palm from my fingers up to my shoulders and wrapped them around my neck, we kissed on lust burned in me, but I had to break away.
"See ya on Monday" I said and opened to door to alight.
"See ya"
Mom was still asleep in her room when I went inside, and Sun hae was cuddled up beside her, she got up immediately she saw me and jumped on me.
" silly girl what have you been up to?" I asked scratching her gently, she purred like a cat and got down from my hands.
I took off my Munoz shirt and laid beside my mom, I took out my phone to play games when I heard my mom's voice "oh you're back" I turned to her.
"Ne" I said "How are you feeling now?"
"A lot better" she replied and shuffled my hair "I thought you don't like falling your hair, you always pack it in a tight bun"
My hand went up to my hair, it was disheveled...I always pack my hair.. Miguel.. he was the one who had unpacked my hair saying I look alot prettier when I fall my hair. That had really got into me...rude jerk had really gotten into me. I tried to push thoughts of Miguel to the back of my mind...I like Manuel not Miguel.
'Do you?' a small voice in my head asked me.
"Angel,? Did you hear a thing I said?" My mom asked intruding my thoughts.
"Uhh?"
"I said you look a lot prettier when you fall your hall".... The exact words..mom had said the exact words he said.
Hours later, I decided to prepare dinner because I was starved, I had skipped breakfast and lunch. And the rushing around of today made me woozy. I made cereal for myself and Sun hae before I started cooking.
"Hey...? What's cooking?" Little witch asked coming into the kitchen. She had returned home earlier drenched and all smiles. Now she was covered in a robe.
"Potatoes" I answered grumpily, something doesn't seem right with little witch, for goodness sake, she was talking to me and didn't have a look of disdain on her face.
"Need help with the sauce?" She asked and that caused me to glare at her.. why was she being this way?
"Nope...I'm good" I muttered and continued with what I was doing, all of a sudden, she gave me a tight side hug... uhh.. Little witch has gone nuts.
"Thank you so much Ji ah" she said and I wondered what she was thanking me for and most importantly, confused on why she called my name instead of the usual 'Korean brat' she calls me.
Immediately she disengaged from the hug, I used my left palm to feel her forehead to know if she was running a temperature...maybe she was acting weird because she was sick.
"C'mon Ji ah, I'm fine" she chuckled as she removed my hand from her forehead.
"If you are fine, explain what's going on"
"Alright" she pulled me to a chair in the kitchen and explained how she bumped into Troy days ago and he ended up asking her out of a date, and today was their first date, he had kissed her and asked her to be his girlfriend and finally, he told her I was the one who has encouraged him to ask her out....silly guy.
What actually happened was that...little witch kept giving me death glares at school whenever she saw me hanging out with Troy...so I decided to stick to Manuel. Troy noticed I was always with Manuel and confronted me, so I told him plain face that his song rehearsals were death traps packaged with a bow..and Little Witch's death glares was a special made coffin. He laughed and told me that he was actually hanging out with me because he was nervous to ask little Witch out since he had a long time crush on her. We kept on conversing and I encouraged him to ask her out since she was also crushing on him....and that was probably what happened.
"Thank you so much Ji ah and I'm sorry for acting so unpleasant towards you" little witch said.
"It's no biggie... beside, I also had my dose of fun by naming you little witch." I chuckled
"You didn't.... You Korean brat" she teased and chuckled as well.
"Do you guys want to burn down this house?" Mom's voice interrupted us. We turned towards the kitchen door and saw her walking into the kitchen with a stern expression.....it was then it snapped... and the smell of burnt food hit my nose... my potatoes.... I jumped down from the chair and turned off the cooking stove.
"Ji ah!!" Mom called and I walked up to her.
"What sort of rubbish is this?" She was obviously angry "two girls in the kitchen and none of them noticed a burning food"
"It was my fault" little witch and I say simultaneously then stared at each other...and then we started laughing. Mom had no option but to smile, happy that we were finally getting along.
"Since you are both at fault, I'll advice you finish up and come for your punishment" mom joked and left the kitchen.
I finished making dinner with the help of little witch and we prepared the dinner table together. Step dad should be back any minute now and when he does, he will have his own share of burnt potatoes and sauce.
We ate in silence till the door bell and I offered to check who it was, it couldn't be my step dad because he wouldn't have to use the door bell. I opened the door and there was.....
" Sung mi" i shrieked and jumped on her. She dropped her back to hug me.
"I missed you so much"
"Hello...again" a voice said behind her.
AUNDRE's P.O.V
I saw her again.....I mean the girl I nearly killed earlier.
"Hello...again" I said and that brought her attention to me.
"Hey...you" she called and smiled at me.
