Sweet Taste

Chapter 39: Heart Raced Day

“The last round will be the day after tomorrow. It will be your favourite food and after that explain how did it became one of your favourites and did it ever change you into someone you never thought you could be. Whoever wins gets his/her own shop at the Eiffel tower.”

The last words of the speaker.

Yesterday was one of the pressuring times I ever had and tomorrow would be the next number one in my list of pressuring times.

As I sit here in the garden beside the blue house, I ponder on so many thoughts.

Where’s Drew? How’s he doing?

What about Blake?

I haven’t spoken to them for a week or two already.

I missed them so much.

Also Desiree.

She got pretty hurt when Drew left to search for his brother.

She barely talked to anyone and if Drew doesn’t come back, she’ll just try to forget him.

I told her not to do that but I can’t stop her. It really hurts her and I understand that.

If I win for Drew and Blake, will they ever forgive me for my choice?

I’m sorry.

That’s all I could ever think to say to them if ever we meet again.

Well, I really am.

I played with the green grass with my feet, swaying it back and forth and feeling the cool breeze blowing at the back of my neck. My hair being swift to my face covering my teary eyes.

When did the situation become like this?

I sometimes wished we didn’t enter this stupid contest.

It cost me my friends, gave me million of problems and also confusion.

Confusion at Chace, my feelings, everything!

And what if he knew I liked him.. What would he even react?

That arrogant guy might throw me off the river you know.

Well, maybe I’m over thinking but I’m sure of one thing.

He might not feel the same about me.

MIGHT.

He show signs that he likes me but sometimes I don’t feel it.

Am I too dense?

Maybe so. But it’s really confusing.

And also Mace!

I mean, he’s doing all these things just to win?

That’s so... Childish?!

I can feel my blood rushing up and I want to kick a can to the sky!

“Hey.” He patted my shoulders.

I hear his voice is equal to total happiness.

That voice I have fallen so much.

But..

If he knew that, what will happen?

I turned to look at him and I found him already sitting beside me!

So I totally looked like a fool looking at the back when he’s already beside me! Turns out as I was daydreaming, he already sat down.

“What a face!” Chace laughed.
