⁂ 𝐌𝐎𝐍𝐃𝐀𝐘.

"And that's all for today, class dismissed" Miss Wong said and walked out of the class.

"Thank you, Miss Wong. Have a nice day" The students echoed out tiredly.

The sky grew dark within minutes as thunder rumbled. Rain began pouring down mercilessly. The rain poured against the roof creating a hum sound.

Lily rested her head on her desk. Her gaze were locked on the droplets of rain which slipped down the window glass.

Her mind wandered off to the conversation she had with Reed. 'Does he like me?' were her thoughts.

'BRNNG! BRNNG!' The school bell rung audibly, jolting her back into reality.

Eva had resumed school but her classmates decided to ease off her work.

*Don't worry, I'll help you to submit our English assignment* A student offered to help.

*I'll help with the physics assignments* Another student said.

*I got you some chocolate bars, just relax like a queen that you are*

"I could get used to this" Eva grinned, munching on the chocolate.

Sofie walked over to Lily wearing a worried look.

"Are you okay, Lily?" Sofie asked.

"Yeah! You're looking moody today, are you alright?" Eva asked worriedly.

"I'm fine girls" Lily said with a smile.

"Okay, if you say so. I got you an early birthday present" Sofie said.

"My birthday is in six months time" Lily chuckled.

"That's why it's called an early birthday present" Eva stated.

"What did you get for me?" Lily inquired.

"Ta-da! A mega sized Froyo" Sofie said, placing the huge cup of Froyo on her desk.

"Wow! This is massive! How were you able to buy this?" Lily asked, already poking a straw into it.

"My mom did an advertisement for the Froyo company and she got this for free"Sofie narrated.

"And I got... two concert tickets for music concert" Eva said.

"Aniyo- (No), you're joking right?" Lily asked in disbelief.

"Nope" Eva said and chuckled when she saw Sofie's pouted lips.

"What about mine?" Sofie asked sadly.

"Abracadabra!" Eva said and brought out the third concert ticket.

"Yassssss! Thanks for not leaving me out" Sofie said with a smile.

"No way! Girl, we're stucked together for life... Group hug!!" Eva squealed as they hugged.

Lily continued sipping from her mega sized Froyo after they parted. It was strawberry flavored and had a chocolate Filling.

'BRNNG! BRNNG!' The school bell rung repeatedly, signifying closure of school. Students hung their bags and left their classes.

A sophomore student ran up to Lily.

"Senior Lily, Senior Lucas wants to see you, he's waiting outside" The student said and ran off.

"Don't you think it's time to resolve your issues with him?" Eva pointed out.

"Don't act like he doesn't exist" Sofie said.

Lily put her books carefully into her bag, zipping it before walking out of the class.

❃❃❃❃❃

➳ 𝐇𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐖𝐀𝐘.

Lily walked out of her class. She saw Lucas but ignored him and just walked past him. He ran after her and finally caught hold of her hand.

"What do you want, Lucas?" Lily asked bluntly.

"It's still raining and I wanted to give you this" Lucas said, giving her an umbrella.

"Thanks for your concern, but I don't need it" Lily snapped.

"Are you mad at me only because I refused to tell you about my past? Or there's some other reason?" Lucas asked.

"Because I know you too well, you actually miss me but pretend like you don't. You feel like hugging me but try so hard to resist and then you end up crying secretly" Lucas stated as her eyes widened.

He just said the truth. He really knows her.

"How did you..." Lily was still asking.

"This is not the first fight we've had and I'm not gonna give up so easily" Lucas interrupted.

They got to the entrance of the school.

"Please accept my umbrella" Lucas said.

Lily was about taking the umbrella when someone held her hand.

"Hey Babe!" Reed called out, shocking Lily and Lucas.

'WTF! Did he just call me 'BABE'?' Lily's mind screamed.

"Oh! Hi Boo" Lily reciprocated, shocking Lucas even more.

"Let's go" Reed simply said, opening up his umbrella and glaring at Lucas.

Reed noticed that Lily was already shivering. He took off his hoodie and gave it to Lily. Lily smiled and wore it.

It was oversized on her but she looked small and cute in it. He placed the umbrella over their heads as they walked away.

Lucas watched on, still in shock.

❁❁❁❁❁

➳ 𝐋𝐄𝐄 𝐌𝐀𝐍𝐒𝐈𝐎𝐍.

Lily and Reed walked in. The rain was only drizzling and Reed closed up his umbrella.

"Unnie!" Leon squealed, running up to Lily and hugging her tightly.

"Hey! Uncle Reed" Leon waved before getting down from Lily's body.

"Hi!" Reed waved.

"Where's Luna?" Leon questioned.

"Oh! She's with my mom" Reed stated.

"Okay" Leon smiled.

"I'd be leaving..." Reed was still saying.

"No! Stay. I mean, at least till it stops drizzling" Lily said, whilst playing with her fingers.

"Mn" Reed simply nodded.

"Reed's coming with me" Leon said, dragging Reed away.

"What?! Why?" Lily asked.

"It's Boys time" Leon said from the stairs.

"Ugh!" Lily groaned, plopping down on the couch and turning on the TV.

"Is there anything you'd want, Miss Lee?" A Maid asked.

"Yeah! Snacks... Tons of em" Lily said. Foods always calms her down.

"I'll be right back" The maid said.

"Wait! Also get me a Soju and some fruit wine" Lily requested.

"Miss Lee, are you up to 18? You should drink responsibly" The maid cautioned.

"I'll be 18 in few months... Please" Lily said with cute puppy dog eyes as the maid obliged.

✯✯✯✯✯

➳ 𝐋𝐄𝐎𝐍'𝐒 𝐑𝐎𝐎𝐌.

Leon and Reed were seated facing each other. Leon watched Reed's reactions carefully.

"I have some questions to ask and I want you to answer them honestly" Leon Yapped as Reed nodded.

"Do you like my Unnie?" Leon asked. Reed looked at him thoughtfully.

"Mn!" He simply nodded.

"You really do?" Leon squealed before clearing his throat and composing himself.

"Yeah!" Reed answered.

"Well, My Unnie likes you too... A whole lot" Leon said.

"Really?" Reed's eyes lit up.

"Yeah! And I saw the hugging position you guys were in during your lessons and I gotta say, it looked really intimate" Leon said.

"Would you like to make her your girlfriend?" Leon asked.

"Possibly, Yeah!" Reed said.

"Have you guys ever kissed?" Leon inquired.

"Time out! you should ask questions that are your age and not above" Reed said, standing up.

"Okay Uncle Reed! It's time for my siesta, Bye" Leon waved as Reed walked out of the room.

➳ 𝐋𝐈𝐕𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐑𝐎𝐎𝐌.

Reed got downstairs; he was surprised to see Lily looking tipsy. He ran up to her and squatted in front of her.

"Lily, are you okay?" Reed asked.

"Ooh Oh! it's you, Reed" Lily said, cupping his face.

"Yeah! It's me" Reed smiled. She looked extremely cute in her drunken state.

"I wanna tell you something, keep it a secret" Lily said with a gummy smile.

"I like you, Reed" Lily whispered and palmed her lips cutely.

Reed chuckled at her cute reactions.

"I like you too, Lily" Reed whispered back as Lily blushed hard.

"C'mon, let's get you up to your room" Reed said. Lily readily wrapped her arms around his neck as he carried her in a bridal style.

✵✵✵✵✵

➳ 𝐋𝐈𝐋𝐘'𝐒 𝐑𝐎𝐎𝐌.

Reed walked into the room and made Lily sit on her bed.

"Yay! It's time for home lessons" Lily squealed.

"No home Lessons today, you're drunk" Reed pointed out.

"Drunk in love" Lily grinned as Reed chuckled.

"You need to rest" Reed stated.

"Rest in your arms, Daddy" Lily smiled cutely.

"Fuck!" Reed cursed.

Reed tried leaving the room but Lily held him back.

"Don't leave me, please" Lily pleaded with pouted lips, trapping him on the door.

"I won't go" Reed said.

"Do it! Stop holding back... Do what you have in mind to me" Lily urged, pressing her soft peaches against his chest.

In the next minute, Reed trapped Lily on the door. He wrapped his arms around her waist possessively, pulling her impossibly close as their gazes locked.

"Would you be able to remember anything that happens now?" Reed asked cautiously.

"I don't know" Lily shrugged.

"If you remember, just come to me, okay?" Reed asked.

"Mn" She simply nodded.

Reed slowly pressed his lips on hers, tilting her jaw and deepening the kiss. He pulled her closer, making her gasp.

His tongue delved into her as he tactfully explored the corners of her juicy mouth. Her lips had a hint of fruit wine and its softness made him yearn for more.

"Mmn!" A moan escaped her lips.

Reed's hands trailed down to her rounded bums. He squeezed her soft flesh, his touch, lingering there.

He carried her as she wrapped her legs around his torso. He sat on the chair which was in front of her reading table, making her straddle him.

"Reed!" Lily moaned sweetly.

They parted, breathlessly. Their gazes met in a heated stare.

"Mhmm! You took my first kiss" Lily grinned.

"It's also my first kiss" Reed said.

"Really?" Lily asked with brightened eyes.

"Yeah" Reed chuckled but his gaze was somewhere else. Lily traced his gaze down to her peaches.

"Do you..." Lily was still asking.

Reed slammed his lips on hers, this time more passionately and hungrily. He cupped her peaches, squeezing em gently.

Lily's eyes rolled upwards in ecstacy. Reed was the first guy to touch there and strangely, it felt really good.

He nibbled on her lips, Lily tried keeping up with his pace. His lips trailed down to her neck, leaving red lip prints.

Soon, Lily stopped moving. Reed pulled away, wearing a puzzled look.

Lily's head fell on his shoulder, he could hear her soft snores. He carried her and gently placed her on her bed.

Lily took in her lower lip, savoring its taste before rolling over to sleep properly.

Reed chuckled at her cute reaction. He walked out of the room and leaned on the door, closing his eyes.

"I fucking kissed her... There's no going back now" He thought, ruffling his hair and walking away.

❥❥❥❥❥

➳ 𝐋𝐔𝐗𝐄 𝐇𝐈𝐆𝐇 𝐒𝐂𝐇𝐎𝐎𝐋 (𝐋𝐇𝐒)

⁂ 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐍𝐞𝐱𝐭 𝐃𝐚𝐲...

Lily's head still ached from the much wine she'd taken the previous day. The maids made a hangover soup to help her recover.

Memories from that evening came crashing in. She placed her fingers on her lips. He really kissed her; She could vividly remember how he kissed her hungrily like a starved beast.

Lily got into her class, plopping down on her seat and resting her head on her desk.

"Lily, are you okay?" Eva questioned.

"Did something happen to you?" Sofie asked.

"I'm fine" Lily said, she couldn't really fathom how she felt at that moment.

How would she be able to face Reed?

"Girl, spill it! What's wrong?" Sofie asked.

Lily lifted her head from her desk, facing them.

"Senior Reed... He kissed me yesterday" Lily blurted.

"WTF!" Sofie said.

"Whoa! That's huge" Eva gasped.

"How did it happen?" Sofie asked.

"I drank excess fruit wine and it got me drunk. I confessed my feelings to him and he felt the same way too. I- I think I urged him to do what he had in mind and not hold back and he kissed me" Lily explained.

"Wow! I'm impressed. He took your first kiss" Sofie grinned.

"It was his first too" Lily said.

"Another Shocker!" Eva gasped.

"How's it?" Sofie and Eva asked in unison.

"It was really good" Lily smiled.

"That's great!" Sofie commended as Lily and Eva nodded.

"He asked me to go to him if I remember the kiss" Lily said.

"Ooh! I guess it's your cue to find him" Eva said.

*Hah! It's Senior Reed*

*What's he doing here?*

*Who's he looking for?*

*He's so cute*

*Can I get your contact info*

Reed Ignored their comments. He moved over to Lily's seat, shocking the students. He leaned down to her level.

"Meet me in my private class in 30 minutes" Reed whispered as Lily nodded almost immediately.

Reed left her side and stood in front of the students.

"Good Day students" Reed greeted huskily.

*Gosh! His voice*

🗣️ "Good Afternoon, Senior Reed" The students echoed out.

"I've come here to brief y'all on the School's lastest Updates. The School's Chairman would be visiting the school soon and y'all are expected to be in your best behaviors. Work on your grades if you don't want to get expelled because the Chairman won't accept any failures in this prestigious academy" Reed said.

*Hah! Chairman is coming!*

*Geez!*

*I can as well start packing up* One cried

*Chairman is really strict, no wonder his son (Reed) always tops his class*

"Understood?" Reed asked.

🗣️ "Yes! Senior Reed!"

Reed looked around the class one last time before leaving.

♡♡♡♡♡

➳ 𝐑𝐄𝐄𝐃'𝐒 𝐏𝐑𝐈𝐕𝐀𝐓𝐄 𝐂𝐋𝐀𝐒𝐒.

Lily slowly entered the class. Her gaze landed on Reed, who was sitting on his swivel chair.

"You're five seconds late" Reed said bluntly, checking his wrist watch. Lily nervously took in her lips.

"You asked me to come here, Senior" Lily said, her head slightly bowed.

Reed stood up and walked up to her.

"Do you remember what happened yesterday?" Reed questioned.

"What? I only remember drinking a glass of fruit wine" Lily blurted, avoiding his gaze.

"Nothing else?" Reed said with softened eyes.

"I- I remembered sleeping on my bed" Lily said.

"Fuck! She still doesn't remember" Reed mumbled, ruffling his hair.

"Did I act crazy?" Lily asked as Reed chuckled up.

"Should I remind you what'd happened?" Reed asked. Lily bit her lips, her gaze met his. She slowly nodded.

"Come here" Reed urged, pulling her closer with his arms firmly wrapped around her small waist.

He leaned in and ceased her lips, she closed her eyes as his lips gently moved against hers.

His hand held her head, gently tilting it to meet his pace. Soon, they moved in a perfect sync. Their breaths, mingling, their tongues trying to gain dominance, Their hearts racing rapidly.

Their lips collided and separated at intervals, making popping sounds. Reed deepened the kiss as his hands got intertwined in Lily's hair.

They parted as their gazes met again in a heated stare.

"I remember what'd happened now" Lily smiled cutely, slowly licking her lips.

"You said you like me... Is that true?" Lily asked curiously.

"Mn!" He simply nodded.

"So I was the girl you described in the car... The one you said you liked?" Lily asked further.

"Yeah" Reed smiled, ruffling her hair.

"You're so naive, took you long enough to figure it out" Reed grinned, revealing his perfect set of white teeth.

"Can we get some Froyo after school? Please Reed" Lily pleaded. There she goes again wanting more food.

"Sure Pumpkin" Reed smiled.

"Timeout guys!" Ethan called out tiredly.

*Senior Ethan, take some water*

*He's so fuckin hot*

*He's dripping*

*Senior Ethan, you're the best*

The girls kept complimenting him; flaunting their sexy curves his way.

Ethan smiled at their compliments but his gaze was locked on someone else.

"So you're interested in Liam?" Ava asked.

"I didn't say so" Danielle said, looking away.

"But you're actions says so..." Ava pointed out, grinning.

"Do you think I like him?" Danielle asked.

"Of course" Ava smiled.

"What about you? You like Ethan, don't you?" Danielle asked.

"Maybe, he's really cute tho" Ava said shyly when her gaze met his.

"Hah! He's coming this way" Danielle pointed out.

"Excuse me Ava!" Ethan said and grabbed her water bottle. He uncorked it and drank from it.

Ava and Danielle watched on speechlessly.

"Thanks" Ethan said, placing the bottle by her side.

Ethan ran his fingers through his hair, pushing his hair backwards, which made him look hot.

*Fuck!*

*What was that?*

*Where did my breath go?*

Ethan walked away. Ava's gaze fell on her water bottle, she picked it up and looked keenly at it.

"Yaa!- (hey!) he drank from your water bottle?" Danielle asked with widened eyes.

❧❧❧❧❧

➳ 𝐎𝐔𝐓𝐒𝐈𝐃𝐄.

Lily skipped beside Reed; they were heading towards the Froyo shop.

"Race you to the Froyo shop" Lily said and took off.

Reed chuckled at her playfulness and jogged behind her.

Lily ran through an empty street but came to a halt when some boys surrounded her.

"Who do we have here?" One of the guys said.

"She's looks cute" Another said, slowly sniffing her hair.

"You wouldn't mind if we get a taste of you, right?" A guy smirked, licking his lips.

"No! Don't touch me" Lily said with teary eyes.

"Or else what?" A guy asked

"Lay a finger on her to find out" Lucas said from behind.

"Lucas?" Lily called out.

"Ooh! Looks like a friend is here to rescue her"

"Not just one but two" Reed said coldly. He glared at Lucas before facing the thugs.

One of the guys tried to touch Lily but Lucas sent him off with a flying kick .

The other guys got scared when they noticed Reed's deadly aura.

Reed pulled Lily away from them, he attacked the guys with flying kicks and punches beating them to a pulp, alongside Lucas.

A guy got hold of Lily placing a dagger on her neck.

"Reed... help me" Lily cried.

"I won't spill her blood if you let me go unharmed" The leader of the guys grinned.

Without waiting for their response, he threw Lily to the ground and ran off, the other guys scurried behind him.

"That punk!" Lucas cursed angrily.

Reed squatted in front of Lily.

"Are you okay?" Reed asked, taking a look at Lily's legs. She was badly injured.

"No!" Lily responded.

"Would you be able to walk?" Lucas asked, squatting in front of her too.

"I'm fine" Lily snapped.

The duo squatted, backing her; Urging her to get on their backs.

Lily took a while, trying to decide who would give her a piggyback ride. Finally, she got on Reed's back.

Lucas stayed in that position, hurtfully staring at the retreating figures of Lily and Reed. He bit his lips in utter jealousy, sadness and anger.

"Mom, I need some grapes" Eva said from her room.

"Go downstairs and get some" Mrs Choi said.

"Eomma- (Mom)" Eva whined.

She got up from her bed and moved downstairs. She was about entering the kitchen but halted when she saw a figure backing her.

"Hey! Who are you?" She asked in fear.

The figure turned to face her. He had tears in his eyes, his eyes were red and puffy.

"Lucas?" Eva gasped.

He didn't respond. Instead, he hugged her, burying his face in the crook of her neck and soaking her shirt with tears.

"Are you okay?" Eva asked, patting his hair softly.

"No! Don't leave me too... Please" Lucas pleaded.

"I won't. I'm here, Okay?" Eva assured as he nodded.

They parted as their gazes met. Eva held his hand and tiptoed, gently planting a tender kiss on his lips.

"Are you better now?" Eva asked.

"Mn!" Lucas nodded.

"It's just that Lily's been avoiding me like a plague and I'm tired of it" Lucas whined.

"Then you should tell her what she wants to hear" Eva urged.

"It won't be easy but I'll try" Lucas breath.

"Would you like to eat some grapes, I was about going to get some" Eva asked as he nodded and followed her into the kitchen.

Eva opened the fridge; she took out a bowl of fresh green grapes and began munching on it, alongside Lucas.

"Mmm! Tastes so good" Eva moaned, savoring it's taste.

Lucas didn't respond, his gaze was locked on her wet lips.

"What?" Eva asked but paused when she noticed what he was looking at.

"Go ahead... Kiss me" Eva smiled.

Lucas slowly pressed his lips on hers and pulled away almost immediately.

"Mmn! The grape tastes better on your lips" He grinned.

"Naughty!" Eva palmed her red cheeks.

Mrs Choi heard laughter from the kitchen. She moved in to see who it was.

"Lucas? What are you doing here?" Mrs Choi asked.

"Oh! Mom, how did you know him?" Eva asked, wearing a puzzled look.

Lucas recognized her. 'Isn't she Pearl's mom?' His mind screamed.

"Oh! I just heard you call his name" Mrs Choi lied.

'Something's definitely fishy' Lucas thought.

"Okay, he came to see me" Eva said.

Mrs Choi glared at Lucas. Obviously, she doesn't like him.

"Lucas, you should leave soon, it's getting late" Mrs Choi said and walked away.

"It's so obvious, my mom doesn't like you" Eva chuckled.

"She never did" Lucas muttered.

"Mn? Did you say something?" Eva asked.

"No! I'll be leaving now" Lucas said and without waiting for her response, he walked away.

He ruffled his hair; got into his car and zoomed off. 'How the fuck is Eva living with pearl's mom?' He thought.
