Guess what? I'm late again! But I still walked comfortably and normally toward our classroom

"Hi Ms. Dy! Sorry I'm late" I said, still cool. She just gestured for me to sit so I just sat in my chair and I noticed a new-looking man in front

"Continue" Dy said to the man. "Hi! I'm your new classmate. I'm Alexander Collins but you can call me Xander" He said. I rolled my eyes. It's so weird. Why do they always mention that they are transferees? Of course, we know! We're not dumb! at least not me. "Any questions?" Dy asked and no one answered

"President, any question?" she asked and looked at me. "I'm not interested" I answered. "Well, I'm interested in you" Xander said and winked at me. I looked at him with a disgusted face. "And because you're late, Tiffany, you will tour him around the school" Dy said. "What?! No! I don't want! You can't do that!", I exclaimed

" Of course, she can do that" A woman said and entered our room. I rolled my eyes. "Mom! what are you doing here?!" I asked. Yes! my mom came home here with my dad and older brother. "I'm not here for you, young lady" She said which made me roll my eyes.

"Anyway, tomorrow will be Tiffany's birthday and everyone is invited. Here are the invitation card and just pick one if you'll going. Thank you"

"Happy Birthday Tiff!" They all greet. I smiled and thanked them. The party is just simple. It's just in our house and a simple formal gathering with our family, close family friends, friends, and schoolmates are invited. The party started earlier and guess what? I prepared something for Tristan

"Sian, later okay?" I reminded him. He nodded and fixed his eyeglasses. I prepared dinner for just the two of us at the back of our house. Of course, I made sure that it was private and I know he'll going to say yes because it is my birthday!

I looked around the area to search for him and I saw him with his parents. I went to him and greeted his parents

"Happy birthday, Tiff" His mom greeted me as I kiss her cheeks for greetings. "Thank you" I said and smiled at his dad.

"Can you go to the backyard later? I want to show you something" I whispered to him. He looked at me and nodded so I excused myself.

"I already told him. Get ready" I told Sian and Alijah. They just nodded so I went to the backyard and hid in the dark side of it so he can't see me. I waited for minutes then I heard footsteps, coming here so I made sure I'm hiding very well

I saw his build so I came out from the wall but then, someone shouted his name.

"Tristan!" It was Celine. I stopped and watch them talk to each other though I can't hear what they were talking about.

The last thing I saw before Sian opened the lights was...

They're kissing.

My tears fell and both of them noticed the lights and looked at me. Tristan was supposed to come to me but I ran away.

How dare she ruin my birthday? I just want to have a private dinner with him. Does she still need to rub it on my face that she's the girlfriend? I know I'm being desperate because I know he has a girlfriend but can you blame me? I love him.. very very much...

To the point that I can do anything for the sake of this love!

I don't know where to go but I kept on running away from him, from her and from that party. I don't know what to do.

"Tiffany!" I heard Tristan shout from behind so I run faster with my heels. My tears keep on feeling and my heart aches so much that I couldn't breathe. My eyes became blurry because of my tears and I heard a beep of a car. I blinked many times and my vision became clearer, It was a car, approaching me.

My knees became weak and I couldn't maintain my balance so I tripped and fell down. Good thing the car stopped and it's literally in front of me. "Tiffany!" I heard Tristan shout again. The driver came out and went to me "Tiffany! Are you okay?" I looked at him and it was Xander. I never saw him earlier and I thought he wouldn't come. He went to me and supported me to stand up.

"Xander... Xander let me out of here.. Let's go somewhere far" I cried to him. He nodded and he guided me toward his car. "Bro, where are you taking her? Her mom's looking for her. I'll take her home" I heard Tristan say to Xander so Xander looked at him. "You don't tell me what to do. Go away" Xander said and went inside the driver's seat and drove away.

I'm just quiet and looking out the window. Am I that too much? Am I obsessed with him? What can I do? What should I do to stop this feeling? Because it's hurting me so much. I think it will kill me. I don't want this feeling anymore.

"Are you okay? What happened?" Xander asked but I remained silent while looking outside. "Where do you want to go?" He asked. I actually don't know where to go. I just want to go home and lock myself inside my room. "Let's just go home" I answered. He U-turned the car and we came back to our house. He supported me again while walking towards our gate and I can tell that the party was over. The guard opened the gate for us so we let ourselves in and saw Tristan.

"Bro, I'll do it" He said to Xander and tried to get my arms but I refused "I can go by myself. Thanks, Xander" I said and went inside. I saw my parents and their close friends. "Tiffany! Where have you been? We're so worried!" Mom said and hugged me. "I'm okay" I said and went towards the stairs. I stopped when I heard the main door open "Ms. Lim, I'll go now" It was Tristan

"Go home if you want. No one cares. No one's interested and it's better if you're gone'' I seriously said and went to my room.

I wish I hadn't met him and love him so that I won't feel this pain right now.
