Chapter 95 - Confessions (2/2)

”And you were shipping us before. Now you're against it.”

”But that's because he's an evil sly fox.”

”I thought we agreed the reason why he's nasty in rejecting girl's confessions was because he didn't want them to cling on false hopes?”

”But what if he's not even thinking that way? He just wanted to be…”

Hora pouted. She's definitely not happy by my sudden change of opinion. I'm so sorry bestie, but I just wanted to make sure you're not falling for the wrong guy.

”He took care of me last night when I was sick. He could have taken advantage of me that time if he's really just a horny bratt as you said, but he didn't. And he also put a wet towel on my forehead to lower my temperature. He even played the piano for me so I could sleep peacefully and he held my hand until he fell asleep on a chair! He could have slept beside me but he chose to sleep on a chair! That's because he's being kind and considerate of me. He never treated me badly or did anything against my will. So I don't think he's as bad as you think,” she pouted and said all of that in one go. She's definitely upset with me.

Hearing her words, I was reminded of another thing Kaiden said when he revealed to us how evil Verrill was.

”Don't worry, she's gonna be fine,” Kaiden assured me. ”Verrill only says and does those nasty things to people he doesn't know or like. He is kind to friends like us. And more specially kind to a girl he likes. I noticed he likes Hora so there's nothing for you to worry about.”

But he dared kiss Hora! It was her first kiss, too! The most important one!

Then again… Hora said she was fine with it. And the look on her face when she said that… she liked it. Plus the fact that she's falling for him. Actually, no—she already likes him so she already fell for him.

”Haaaah…” I sighed deeply. Then, in a serious tone, I asked her again, ”Do you really like him? For real?”

Tears could be seen in the corner of Hora's eyes as she nodded to my question.

”Yes, I do. I like him… a lot.”

”Are you aware of Crystal's situation?”

”Yes… I noticed that, too. That's why last night, I cried myself to sleep. Because I feel so wrong and guilty for developing these feelings. But I can't stop it. I wish I could but…”

”Afort words. Truly, dealing with relationships was not an easy feat.

Once done, we went over to Crystal's room which was just in front of mine. We knocked on her door three times, and she told us to come in. When we did, we were shocked to see that she was packing up her clothes!
