Book of Fate

Finally, the two got home already. As William entered their house, he noticed something in the living room because it seemed like there were voices talking, not just one.

He approached, and his mama and papa were facing him as they sat down. What he was wondering about was the one sitting in a chair but facing his parents’. When he was almost there, his mother noticed him immediately, so she called him.

She smiled as he went to William. “William! It’s good that you’re here. We have a surprise for you. ”

William frowned but did not speak first. He noticed that the woman was sitting and suddenly stood up, and when she faced William, his eyebrows met even more. “Charice?”

She smiled and approached him. “It’s been a long time, William.”

“What are you doing here?” William asked, with no look of emotion on his face.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

The happiness on Charice’s lips disappeared from his actions, and she looked at William’s mother. “I’m sorry, Charice, to my son. Maybe he needs to rest first.” She hesitated to smile at Charice before pulling William aside for a moment, as Charice and William’s dad were left standing in the living room.

They stopped where Charice couldn’t see. “What are you when you’re young? Why do you react like that to your childhood friend?”

“Mom, why is Charice here? Isn’t she in another country?”

Clarissa, William’s mother, sighed. “I’m sorry son, if you’re surprised she’s here, but she came home here to study until college.”

“Won’t there be a problem with her moving here?”

“I haven’t asked her yet, but you might want to ask her.” She still smiled at his son.

” It’s just you, Ma. I don’t have time to talk to her. ” And he left his mother, who was supposed to follow his son, but she decided to just let him go first.

Clarissa returned with Charice still waiting. “Oh! You’ll have to be patient with William if he does that, but right now he doesn’t seem to want to talk to you. ”

Charice smiled sadly at Clarissa. “It’s okay Tita, he was surprised, so he doesn’t want to talk to me first.”

“It’ll be okay for him too, but dinner is coming soon. Just have dinner here. Lydia is cooking dinner right now.”

Charice just nodded in response and waited a few more hours before William came out of the room again, but he didn’t expect that Charice was still there and it looked like she was still with them for dinner. And since the empty seat was right next to Charice, William just sat there because he had no choice. He sat up straight and no words came out of his mouth.

While everyone was eating and they were about to finish, William’s dad suddenly spoke. “Son, Charice wants to talk to you after dinner. It’s okay with you? ”

William was stunned for a moment, but also agreed immediately, because when his dad spoke, he needed to follow. After they finished their meal, they went to the garden of the house with the chairs.

William just stood and watched his mom’s plants. “What are you doing here?” William asked calmly.

Charice was surprised when she answered William’s question. “To study until college.”

He grinned. “To study? You have a good life in another country and there are so many good schools there, why do you force yourself to push yourself here?” William said seriously.

Charice’s face showed sadness because of what William was saying. “Can’t I study here anymore?”

William lazily looked at her. “You should finish high school first before you move here.” William looked at the plants again. “And which school will you enroll in?”

“At your school,” Charice said suddenly.

William’s eyebrows met. “Why would you enroll in the school where I was?”

“I just want to,” was its simple answer.

William smiled again at her answer. “It’s up to you where you want, but don’t bother me if you continue to be able to enroll in my school.” William walked away, just past Charice.

Charice’s gaze followed it until it entered the house. “The attitude of what he has changed since I left here,” she said softly before finally entering the house.

Charice and William have been together since they were in elementary school, but they separated when they were in high school and she studied abroad, so William was left here. What’s even more painful is that it doesn’t seem like she can be forgiven because she promised that until they go to college, where one is, the other should be there. But she did not fulfill that because her parents took her to another country to study, but now she will try to regain his trust no matter what happens.

Meanwhile, Daniella, as she was stunned in her room, suddenly felt as if something could not be explained. “Why do I feel like something will happen that I will not be happy about when I go to school again.” Although she was confused by how she felt, she just removed from her mind the negative thoughts that entered her mind.

It was morning and all the students were in their respective classrooms, including Daniella and William. A teacher came in and before the class started, she said. “Okay class, good morning, but before we start our lesson, I want to announce that we have a transferee student and her section is here.”

Bree approached Daniella. “Her? Meaning she’s a woman, Dan, but why did she move? We’ve been in school for almost a month, haven’t we? ”

“I don’t know what the new student’s trip is but let’s just see.” Daniella shifted her gaze to the front of the blackboard and waited for their new classmate.

William felt that he already knew who their teacher was referring to, so he was not surprised if there was a new transferee, but what he wondered was why in the exact section where she was too.

Charice entered slowly, but the sight was of the student and it looked like William was there, and when she saw it, she even smiled at William, which surprised Daniella because she saw how the female transferee smiled at William.

“Oh! Daniella I saw that. It looks like you’ll have a harder time getting William. You’ll have a rival right away. ” Bree shook her head while said to Daniella.

Daniella glared at her. “You know, you leave a word that might me overthink for what you said.” Bree smiled at her and looked at the transfer student again.

“Introduce yourself!” said Daniella’s teacher. She smiled so much that the other students smiled as well. “Hi! My name is Charice Lopez, and it’s nice to meet you all. ” It even bowed to the students.

Their teacher was looking for a seat, but it stopped right in front of Daniella. “Miss Paz looks absent.” She turned to Charice. “Charice, just sit there.” At the same time, she pointed to the empty seat in front of Daniella’s desk.

“And class, tell Miss Paz that she’ll be sitting in the back and not where Charice is sitting. Is that clear?”

” Yes ma’am!”

She turned her gaze to Charice. “You may take your seat, Miss Lopez.” Charice thanked her first before walking closer to the chair, and it wasn’t looking towards the chair, if it was towards William, who was just looking straight at their teacher.

When Charice sat down, Daniella turned her eyes and looked shifted between William and Charice because she was really wondering why, of all the students, it was William who actually looked and smiled.
