Book of Fate

Chapter 23 Tears



Nothing much was done that day because everyone was preparing for the school program in which Daniella participated as a candidate for the Most Beautiful Woman in their school. She and Bree talked about starting practicing at Daniella’s house every weekend if Daniella had the opportunity and no tutoring.

Bree and I were walking home when they saw William coming to meet them and looking straight at her. “Can we talk?” William asked.

She turned to Bree and just nodded at her, which meant to get away from them first so they could talk to William. And when Bree was gone, she immediately asked William, “What were you supposed to say last Saturday?” She asked as if she didn’t care and just looked straight ahead, but not at William’s face.

“I would like to say first why I…” William couldn’t continue what he was going to say to her again because she already knew what she was going to say. “You had something to say last Saturday, right?” What is it, and please hurry if you can, lest darkness overtake me on the way?” Disappointed, William just let out a sigh. “That I won’t teach you every Saturday first because you might need that day to practice. You can’t do that every time there’s a class, so I’ll let you practice first.”

She looked William in the eye, but she didn’t last long either, so she avoided her eyes right away. “That’s all you’re going to say. Why did you say that last Saturday? I also don’t expect to wait for you for three hours.”

“So I want to talk to you now about it. Also, let me first explain why I’m late that day,” William pleaded, but with a calm face.

She started walking and stopped behind William, so now they both turned their backs on each other. “I don’t want to hear your explanation first because Charice has already told me why you didn’t go to the plaza that day.”

William was startled and faced her, but she did not try to face William again. “So, don’t bother to tell me your reasons because I already know.” Tears welled up in her eyes, so she started to walk, but she didn’t expect him to touch her arm and face her.

Their eyes met and William saw Daniella’s eyes wet from the suppressed tears, and in William’s mind was, “I’m sure Charice said something, so this is just how Daniella is acting.”

Daniella grabbed her arm in his hand and turned to William again. “I’m going home.” She walked away again and pulled Bree’s hand away from that spot.

William just stared at Daniella until she came out of the school gate. And William, who quickly went to a part of the school where he knew Charice was still there. He saw Charice was walking and looked like she was going home when he saw it stopped for a moment and smiled at him. And as he approached, “Will you come home with me so you’re here?” She was still smiling up to her ears.

“No,” he replied simply, which made her smile fade away.

“Why are you here?”

He looked at Charice seriously. “What did you tell Daniella why I didn’t get to the plaza right away?”

Charice looked at him innocently. “All I said was that we were together last Saturday, so you didn’t come right away.”

He just closes his eyes to what she says and tries not to shout at her. “I’m Daniella’s tutor and she’s the one I teach, so we have to meet every Saturday and with what you did, it might get to the principal if I don’t do what I have to do because of what you said to her. She can complain to the principal if she wants!” he shouted sharply.

“I didn’t know you were his tutor.” Clueless, she looks at Wiliam. “Again, don’t interfere in what I’m doing, especially since you don’t know what it is and don’t use my parents just for your own personal gain,” he said before he left Charice with a look on her face that was offended by what he said.

Meanwhile, while Daniella and Bree were walking home, Daniella couldn’t stop her tears from dripping, which Bree noticed immediately, so she sighed. “Your courage an hour ago in front of Charice, but why are you crying now?” she asked calmly.

“I don’t want to be… a loser in front of her because I know exactly where my place is for William,” she sobbed in response.

“Why don’t you just stop your feelings for William and not to hurt like that.”

She smiled as tears welled up in her eyes. “It’s easy to say but hard to do, Bree. I’ve had a crush on William for a few years. I’ve only just cried because of him.” She wiped the tear from her cheek.

“It’s just a crush, Daniella, so you can forget it, especially since we’re leaving our school. We will have a few months and we don’t know where we’re going to go to college and you don’t even know where William will study.” Her tears dripped again, and at that point, they were constantly flowing down her cheeks. “Crush! Do you think Bree that the only crush I have for William is. ” She shook her head a few times. “No Bree because I already love him. It’s okay even if you judge me because I’m too young to feel the love that should be until I crush, but what can I do? I can’t stop my heartbeat just because of how I feel now. ”

“So you just let it hurt you like that and now that there’s another woman, you know, is heavier than him because they’ve been together since they were kids. Who do you think William will choose between the two of you? You never know, maybe William has a secret glance at her or you, who are always present but he ignores you. Yes, he’s your tutor, but it looks like it’s just Daniella. ”

She looked Bree in the eye and saw that her tears were already welling up. As much as they are friends, her grief is like Bree’s grief because Bree also feels the pain of the situation.

“What do you want me to do? I’ve already given up.” She waited a few minutes for Bree’s answer.

“No.”Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

She suddenly turned around, confused. “What a no?” Bree took her hand and they are now facing each other. “You are Daniella I know who is brave and can endure everything as long as she can, but I won’t tell you to stop because I know you can still do it, but when you feel that there’s no hope, just stop. Do you understand? ”

She wiped the tears from her cheeks and eyes. “Promise I’ll stop when I can’t.” She raised her right hand in a sign of promise and smiled as far as her ear to Bree.

“That’s right, so just go because I won’t be the one to get hurt in the two of us. It’s just you.” Bree smiled at her and started to walk again.

She narrowed her eyes at Bree, who had turned her back on her. “Tsk. I can’t understand Bree sometimes. I’m just the one who will be hurt here and not her.” She ran after Bree, and she suddenly bumped her body into Bree’s, so on the way home they were both laughing.
