The 10th Ordinance Libra vs Pisces

CHAPTER 1

Confessions

[2002]

It's Isla. The eldest child among five siblings. Mhmm.

My parents are really hardworking. Eyyy!

We live in a simple, lovely home here in Ciudad Real, Spain.

Here I am, a simple 13-year-old, 8th grade student.

This is when I found my puppy love, Vincent.

I had a crush on him not only because of his looks but also for his intelligence, camaraderie, and sense of humor.

No wonder a lot of girls were also attracted to him.

I'd also found my best friend, Adelle, who also got close to Vincent.

For a couple of months, I used to keep my feelings for Vincent.

During those days, I used to text with my classmates, including Adelle, David, Jasper, and Vincent.

One day, I had a conversation with David.

He told me about the disappointment he felt at having personal feelings for me and for Kate, because he was aware that both of us admire Vincent.

After a couple of months, Adelle asked me to confess my feelings to Vincent.

But why would I?

One day, Adelle told me that Vincent also has feelings for me, and he's also aware of my feelings for him.

So now, my status with Vincent is that:

We both know that we have feelings for each other.

But this so-called pride or shame is keeping us from formally confessing to each other.

Due to the increasing expenses of our family, I have had to limit myself from spending money on things that are not so necessary including my phone's load.

So, Adelle used to call me a lot.

"Why aren't you replying to our texts?"

"I do not have a load." I said.

-

A few minutes later, I received €2 worth of load.

Then Vincent texted me, so I knew that he's the one who gave me that load, so I would be able to text him back.

From then on, he regularly initiated providing for my phone's load so we could continue our talks more often.

We used to discuss a lot of things, including our dreams.

He told me that he has this great interest in astronomy.

I also told him about my dreams, including my desire to become a fashion designer.

We both look up to each other's desires in life.

-

One day, Vincent told me about Kate's confession to him.

He felt the need to tell me the truth, even if we still do not have the label.

VINCENT: Kate told me something

ISLA: What is it?

VINCENT: She has a crush on me and told me that she loves me a lot

-

I did not reply, but I felt a bit jealous, so I immediately told Adelle about it.

In just a couple of hours, I received a message from Adelle...
