Chapter 1

Keila's POV

One week ago

Destiny is mysterious; sometimes what you think is worthless turns out to be a big part of your life.

"This is how you should move your waist." He whispered in my ear while he was behind me. "You dance well; sometimes you just lack emotion."

He slowly grabbed my waist, which caused the hairs on my body to rise. Dwayne's hand seems to have electricity. electricity flowing from the part where he touched you to your entire body. Is this really his effect on women? "Just relax," he whispered again in my ear. "Just relax, Keila."

I closed my eyes and just whispered to myself. I can't relax because of you.

"Dwayne!" A woman screamed. I immediately looked at her, and I was not mistaken; it was Krystal. Just by the shrillness of her voice, I thought she was a witch; you will know that she is.

Dwayne let go of me because of the strength of his voice. Then I fell to the floor.

It hurts; my butt came first. Damn it.

"I thought you were coming with me to my fashion show later." She said sharply and immediately wrapped around Dwayne that you thought she was a leech. After all, she looks like a worm. My head suddenly got hot from what I saw. "What are you looking at there?" She asked me straight. I immediately looked away from her. I can pierce her eyes.

"I'm leaving." I said as I took my bag. I didn't look at them anymore and quickly left the gym. I might be even more annoyed by what I can see and hear there. Another thing I can't stand is Krystal's face. "Fuck shit! really." I whispered to myself.

I sat at an empty table in the canteen. I'm like a volcano that wants to explode. That Krystal is really annoying. No matter what, she ruins a good moment between Dwayne and me. What radar is she using? That's according to her. Dwayne and I would have had a moment.

Damn her and her fake boobs. "It's a shame. Dwayne and I are close to each other." I said it disappointedly.

"Keila!" Jenelle shouted. They came to me.

"You alright?" Marion opened the door. One of Jenelle's best friends. "Why are your two eyebrows meeting?"

"Yes, it's the best." Jenelle's groin. "Didn't you have fun earlier because you and your brother had one-on-one dance lessons? What's the problem?"

They both sat next to me. "What's my problem? It's that, Krystal. She's always been my problem. When Dwayne gets close to me, she'll snap at me. It's annoying. She's good at murdering my brain." They both laughed and nodded at what I said. "She's the kind of person that just thinking about her makes you sick!"

"Just high blood?" They asked together.

"Yes!" I screamed. When I think of Krystal's face, my head gets really hot. "I'll just have a drink later. Will you come with me?" I will ask.

"I have a thesis to finish later." Marion answered. What else can I expect from him? He is just a lesson. He's a nerd, but he's handsome. "Sorry, Keila."

I looked at my only hope, Jenelle. "Dad's birthday is later. I can't come," she answered.

"Okay, I'll be a loner later." I sighed and took my bag. Cloud is probably waiting for me in the parking lot. Jenelle, please just tell Uncle Jeydon happy birthday. I'm leaving, bye."

I quickly went to the parking lot. I can't see her car here. Where is my best friend?

"Hey.." All the hairs on my body rose when I was hugged by a man whose voice I already knew. It was Dwayne. He hugged me from behind. What is he freaking doing? Is he aware that he is hugging me? "I'm sorry about what happened a while ago." Dwayne's voice tickles me. His effect on me is really strong. "Are you mad?"

I? Nope. You are not wrong, but when have I ever been angry with you? I whispered to myself.

"I'm not mad. Wait, where is Krystal?" I said. I don't know why that was the first thing I said. I'm upset because he let me leave earlier for that worm. He faced me after he looked me straight in the eyes, causing me to be confused. "W-why?" I stammered.

"Tell me, Keila. Do you like me?"

I swallowed at his very straight-forward question. I feel my knees shaking. Why is he like this to me?

"Just tell me if you like me." He came closer to me, which made my heart beat faster. "Because Keila, I feel that I—" What he was going to say was cut off by Cloud.

"Keila, come on." Dwayne immediately moved away from me. Cloud's eyes met, and it was as if they were going to kill each other with their looks. They were best friends before, but for reasons I don't know, they are best enemies now. "Hurry up!" Cloud shouted.

"I have to go, Dwayne." I waved to him and immediately got into my partner's car.

"I told you to stay away from him!" Cloud preached as I went up to my room. "Don't say I didn't tell you." He said he was annoyed.

I just played music in my room and danced. This is what I do when I'm confused. I'm confused. I'm confused by Dwayne's actions earlier. What did he want to say about what he did earlier? Why would he hug me? Is he playing with me? Does he like me too?

"I'll borrow your car, Cloud!" I shouted as I left the house. Whether he agrees or not, I will still use his car, but at least I said goodbye.

I parked near the seaside at MOA and went straight to Padis. Callalily's song immediately came to fruition.

No more looking back. Are you fed up with this tenderness? You have no reason for why you suddenly left.

I don't know what to do to make you come back to me. You did everything. Why are you suddenly looking?

I can't explain how I feel right now. I feel like I'm flying with my eyes closed. I'm just listening to the band playing here in Padis. I've been hanging out here for a while, but I just saw the band playing today. Their vocalist is even more mysterious because he is wearing a cap, so his face is not visible.

like the world that never stops spinning. Love never gets tired. Like a river that never stops flowing, love never ends.

All the hairs on my body are rising. You can feel his emotions in every line he sings. He sings well. You know he sings from the heart.

"Give me three more." I ordered from the waiter.

I'm also only a moderate drinker. It only increases when I am confused or very troubled.

"Why do I want you so much, Dwayne Lopez? What is wrong with you? You are a playboy and a great bad boy, but I still like you. Because your abs and smile are damn hot, it's debilitating." I laughed and said to myself,

I'm here. You always mess up not only my mind but also my heart, and you've already been doing it for two years. I liked you for two years, but unfortunately, you don't like me. There are many people who like me, but I only see you. What do you have that others don't?

"I'm so into you." I whispered.

I finished three bottles of Red Horse along with a shot of tequila. I decided to stop because I might not be able to control myself. I'm definitely grounded with Mommy and Cloud.

"Want some more?" An offer from a man I don't even know. It seems that he has a bad plan for me because he looks like a fool. I immediately refused and left the seat, but he immediately stopped me. "Don't turn your back on me! I'm still talking to you!" He shouted at me.

"I don't want to talk to you!" I shouted at him.

"It's your art! Let's go!" He insisted. "Come on, babes!" I immediately removed his hand from my arm.

"Babes, your face!" I screamed and kicked his private parts, so now he was writhing in pain. "Good for you." I whispered and immediately turned to leave.

Before I could even step away, I heard people shouting, so I turned my back.

The man was about to hit me with the bottle of red wine earlier when the mysterious vocalist stopped in front of me. He blocked his hand so the bottle wouldn't hit me. The tall man lay down, and Padis security guards immediately approached him. I was about to get closer to the vocalist, but suddenly someone pulled me away.

As I was being pulled by someone, I saw blood on the floor from the arm of the mysterious vocalist. I want to go back to him, but I'm being pulled so hard.

"Let go of me!" I screamed, but he didn't listen. "Let go of me, I said!" As soon as we walked, he let go of me. "Who are you?" I was annoyed.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" My eyes widened when I saw Dwayne. "You're drinking alone?" He came to me after holding my hand. "What if you get hurt?"

I looked into his eyes. He is angry and seems to be worried about me. I don't understand him. Why is he so worried about me now? I'm just nobody for him.

"What do you care about me?" I will ask.

"Are you blind?! I care about you, Keila!" I backed away from what he said, but Dwayne approached me.

"But.." I couldn't finish what I was going to say.

He brought himself closer to me. He is so close to my face that he can kiss me with just one move.

"Damn, I like you. I still freaking like you, Dana."

I didn't even understand why he called me Dana instead of Keila because, at that point, he kissed me on the lips.
