Cressida and Kaius had been inseparable since childhood, their bond forged through countless hours of laughter, adventure, and friendly competition. They were each other's confidants, partners in crime, and most trusted friends. Their favorite pastime was engaging in heated matches of tag, hide-and-seek, or board games, always pushing each other to be their best. The thrill of victory was sweeter with the other person around to share it with.
But life had other plans. One day, without warning, Cressida's family packed up their belongings and moved to a new mansyon on the other side of town. Cressida was torn between excitement for the new adventure and sadness at leaving behind the only friend she had ever known. In the chaos of the move, she didn't get a chance to say goodbye to Kaius, and the thought of not being able to play together anymore filled her with dread.
Kaius, on the other hand, was devastated. He had grown accustomed to Cressida's presence in his life, and her sudden disappearance left a gaping hole. He felt abandoned and hurt that she hadn't come to say goodbye or even mention the move. The promise they had made to always be there for each other seemed hollow now.
Cressida and Kaius finally met again after a long time apart. But their reunion was bittersweet, as they were bound together by marriage on paper. Cressida was initially thrilled to see Kaius again, feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness. However, her joy was short-lived as she noticed a drastic change in Kaius's demeanor.
The Kaius she once knew was gone, replaced by a person who seemed perpetually unhappy. His smile was nowhere to be seen, and his face was often shrouded in a scowl. Cressida couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness, wondering what had caused such a transformation in the person she once knew and loved.

Freed But Bound
He always chose pink- not because he loved pink, but because she did. Isaac knew everything about Carrie- her favorite food, her favorite snack, her favorite color. He knew when her smile was truth and when her laughter was only a veil. He could weather her tempers, her sharp tongue, the piercing edge of her voice. He could take it all- every storm she was- without ever questioning why. Yet he never realized his words could bruise her too. Carrie never cared how many times he shattered her heart, she only cared that he was still there to hold the pieces. She learned to swallow her pain in silence, just to keep him close enough to hurt her again. She could endure anything, just as he endured everything for her. Because even when he broke her, he was still the only one who knew how to mend her. He freed her when they were ten, and she's been bound to him ever since. To Carrie, he was everything. To Isaac, she was someone he had simply promised to protect. She wanted nothing but him- his time, his presence, his world. She clung to him like sunlight she was terrified to lose. She was dangerously dependent on his existence, while he was chasing a dream that may not include her. He freed her once. She mistook it for love. Now she can't live without him- and he doesn't even know he's the reason she's breaking.
The Corner Store
I fell for a boy with the kindest blue eyes, and a charming dimple. He made me feel loved, and cared for, and most importantly he made me feel safe in his presence. He came right in the middle of a tornadoe and managed to turn it into blue skies. He changed my perspective and gave me hope and strength." I looked at him, and he was smiling, and his eyes were a little glossy. He took my hand and kissed it, a small tear caught in the corner of his beautiful eyes. "I thought, hey, maybe life isn't so bad after all. Maybe I can finally allow myself to love and be loved, and to live life normally. When we went to your party, you told me to wait for you. But then your perverted cousin made me feel super uncomfortable, so I went looking for you, just to be able to feel at peace again. And that's when I saw it." My heart beats skyrocketed, because this was the moment everything changed forever. "Saw what?" Asked Axel. I took a deep breath, and continued. It's now or never. ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ Sophia Grace is a 25 year old Forensic Science major who recently started working as a cashier at her local grocery store - "The Corner Store".

Period!
"I... Am here to see you.", I told him as I placed my hands around his neck. I could feel my heart beat getting faster but I had to keep it strong if I had to survive this scenario. "What?", Brandon asked completely startled. I leaned in more closer to him. The only good thing in this entire scene was that he wasn't pushing me back due to my creepy behaviour. "Oh... Bran, I was missing you so much, I just... I needed to see you.", I said as I came up with lie. "Are you drunk?", Brandon asked as he leaned in closer trying to smell my mouth. Thank God Fel had given me her mint gum only moments before I went commando and came inside the locker room. "What?", I scoffed still standing extremely close to Brandon. "I just.... I was missing your gorgeous face.", I told another lie. But wait? His face is gorgeous so that isn't a lie. And was I not missing seeing him? I noticed Brandon who just had his eyes popped out of his socket with bewilderment at my words. I decided to peck him on the cheek before I storm out of the locker room. I leaned ahead to peck Brandon who moved his face in my direction and instead of his cheeks, our lips crashed. Brushing against each other, our lips touched. I could feel fireworks exploding inside my entire body.
