Faye's PoV

I woke up because someone was calling on my cellphone. I didn't even bother to look at the caller and answered immediately.

"Hello?" I answered feeling drowsy.

"Good morning Faye, did I ruined your sleep?" someone said on the other line. It was as if my whole mind woke up when I heard that voice. I looked at my cellphone to confirm who was talking. Wahhhh it's Al! Omy gosh! I do not know what to do, I am thrilled!

"Hmm Faye are you still there?" He asked. Wahhh my brain is flying again! I still can't believe that he will call me this morning. When I recovered, I took a deep breath.

"Hmm Yes, good morning Al .." I said shyly. I heard him laugh on the other line.

"How are you feeling?" He asked. I check my neck and forehead. I look ok, my fever gone down. But my foot still hurts a bit. But all in all, I'm ok. More than okay! Hihihi

"I'm fine, my fever has gone down but my foot is still a bit sore hehe .." I replied to him. I can't stop the smile drawing on my lips. I was happy because he called. I no longer want anything else from Al because this is enough for me that he cares about me. And just by the thought of it, makes me happy.

"Ahhh is that so, by the way have you had breakfast yet?" He asked.

"Not yet ehhh, I just woke up" I said as a matter of fact. "Great! Can we go together because I still don't have breakfast..if it's okay with you?" He said with mixed doubts.

Wahhhhhh omygosh really! Is that it? Does he invite me to a date? Yes I am assuming! I'm just super happy! after all, it is Saturday and I don't have something to do. I'm excited! Hihihi

"Sure" I answered casually. I'm really trying my best to be calmed. Maybe he thinks I'm so happy and so excited! Which is true.

"Then it's settled, I'll fetch you after fifteen minutes" He said and ended the call. Wahhhhhhh fifteen minutes ?! Omygoshhh I need to prepare!

I hurried to the bathroom to wash and brush my teeth. Even though my foot was still a bit sore, I couldn't take it anymore. After I was done I got dressed and adjusted myself.

Later I heard a series of knocks from the door. Al is here! I'm excited! I opened the door with a smile on my face. But it also immediately disappeared because of the unexpected person in front of me. I'm so nervous again.

"Wait what are you doing here?" I asked in shock. Why is he here? Where is Al?

He just stared at me. Without saying a word he suddenly pulled me out of my room. Because I did not expect him to do that, I suddenly lost my balance and sank into his chest. Lub ... dub..lub ... dub. lub..dub ... My heart are in speed of beating! They seem to be chasing! I pressed my ear even harder to the chest of the person in front of me to hear it's beating... "It was fast ..." I said amused. "Tsk" he replied then pushed me gently.

Suddenly my cheek warmed up realizing what I had done. What the hell Faye ?! Are you out of your mind ?! Why did you do that! I also don't know myself why I did that. Embarrassing!> \\\ <

I feel a mixture of nervousness and fear right now. My heart is beating so fast because he stares badly at me! Should I say the coldness of his looks. I'm doomed! I think I made him angry! I was already praying in my mind about what could happen to me. Is this how my life is going to end? I'm not yet ready!

When I thought he was going to do something bad, I just closed my eyes. And was awakened by the sound coming from the door due to its closing. I wondered if I was still okay or if I was in pain, but I'm good and nothing happened. I thought this demon was going to kill me because of the evil he thought earlier. I overreacted! who wouldn't be? he's scary!

Later, he pulled me away from my room and made his way to the hallway. "Wait, where are you taking me?" I stopped crawling and faced him. My foot still hurts ahhhh! "Remember you're my slave so you have to follow me." He answered coldly and pulled me again. Ugh! That crap again, can I do it later because Al and I are going somewhere else for Pete's sake!

"Can I come later?" I questioned hesitantly. His eyebrows meet again.

He did not answer me and just continued to pull me until we reached the entrance of the dormitory. Where are we going? Maybe Al is already looking for me!

When we left, I suddenly stopped again. "I'm going somewhere now so if you'll order something, I'll do it later, I promise I will! " I beg. Please it woul work as a reason. Al only invited me once, I hope I can convince him.

"I don't care if–what he was going to say was cut off when Al suddenly came." Hey let her go, we're going on a date "he said smiled at us. What ?! A date? I thought I was just having breakfast with him? but shemsss! my heart flutters!

The demon looked at me. And not just an ordinary look, but a bad one! I just averted my eyes because I could not keep up with his stares. It's suffocating. I can not breathe!

Later he looked at Al. And they barely stared at each other as if they were talking. After staring at their portion, he then released me and made his way out of the dorm. Hayyys, I only breathed when his presence disappeared.

"Faye let's go?" Al had a smile on his lips. Wahhhh! Those smile! it made my day immediately. I just nodded and smiled at him.

We are now at a fast food chain near the dormitory, where students often eat especially on weekends.

Since there are quite a lot of people because it's Saturday, there are only a few tables available. So we don't have any other choice but to just sit outside, well, it's okay though because it's a bit windy. "What do you want to have?" He asked. While queuing at the counter. Actually I do not know what I want to eat. My taste is not quite okay yet because I just recovered from the fever.

"Hmm anything hehe" I replied shyly. He smiled at me and made me sit in our place because he said he was the one to order. We also waited a few minutes before serving the food.

"Wahhhh it's a lot!" I said in amazement. My gosh! Will we consume everything anyway? "Hahaha" he just laughed at me then started putting food on my plate. Wahhh very gentleman really.

"Just eat a lot to get stronger" he said smiling as he watched me eat. Why is he just watching? Will he not accompany me? "Why are you just watching me eat? I thought we were together" I said while pouting. I should not be the only one eating. He was stunned for a moment because of what I said. "Okay I'll eat then, your so cute" he replied with a smile. My cheek automatically blushed because of what he said. Embarrassing! > \\\\ <

We just continued eating while chatting. I also thanked him for what he did last night. We just finished eating. And hayyys I'm full! What did Al ordered was so plenty! It was as if we were going to be hanged. Lol

We are on our way back to the dormitory, When we noticed the students gathering at the bulletin board nearby. To my surprise I immediately asked Al to see what was going on.

When we got there we saw that there was a photo of the three women posted there.

Stela Salazar

Aireen Centeno

Lyka Delos Reyes

Responsible for cleaning the whole dormitory for this week.

I was literally stunned by what I saw. What does this mean? I looked at my roommate in disarray but it just shrugged.

Later I saw Kristel and Misha approaching in our direction while waving. "Faye how are you feeling?" They asked Concerned. I smiled at them "I'm okay, my nurse is really good! I'm pertaining to Kristel. Thank you last night" I told her.

"Tsshh they deserve that" Misha said while her eyes were on the bulletin board. Wait, what is there?

"Why do they have it?" I asked in astonishment.

"Those are the three who did that to you last night" I was surprised by what she said. Them? Why they are need to do this? To be honest, what happened last night is no longer a big deal for me. And who has the gimmick? Suddenly the demon entered my mind. He came right out with the three women, it was as if I was drenched in my own saliva because of the way he stared at me. He seems annoyed.

cough * cough **

"Are you okay Faye?" I was Immediately asked by my friends including Al. "Ahh yes I'm okay" I replied shyly.

I was surprised when the two women with the demon suddenly approached me. "Faye sorry" They apologized. The woman who was a little familiar to me, just turned while crossing arms.

"Aren't you gonna join them?" Al asked her. "Never! I'm not cheap like them!" She artistically replied to Al. He frowned because of the woman's behavior.

"You," the demon pointed at the woman who artistically replied to Al. The way he talk was so scary. You will be really terrified! Especially when his voice rises! You can feel like you are a pitiful creature that he is ready to swallow whole.

"Zac why would I do that ?!" She ssid. Disgusted tone of its answer.

"Because you did something wrong to Faye." Someone said coldly. And like everyone else, I looked at the one who spoke. The way it speaks is very cold. "Al .... I can't believe what he said. I was surprised because I just saw him treat others like this.

"I don't–she didn't finish what she was going to say coz suddenly ..

"Just say the damn words!" The demon said ran out of patience. I was also shocked by the strength of his shout. Shemmms scary!

"Ok fine. Sorry" The girl said out of the nose, it turned to me. I just stared at her because I did not know what to say.

"Let's go girls" she said to her two companions.

"Just like that?" I turned to Al. Is he .... smirking?

"We already said sorry prince, so I guess we have to go" she said calmly.

"You still have to do the task I've assigned to you." Said the demon.

"Wait what ?!" The girl asked in shocked. "But we already apologized to her!" She pointed at me.

"You said if we apologize we don't have to do those things" she added. Al suddenly laughed. "So how does it feel to be fooled?" Its mixed sarcastic response. Is this really Al? What is happening why does he seem to be Zac no 2?

"Ugh!" The girl growled annoyed.

"That's your punishment for using my name to deceive someone" Zac said while smirking before entering the dormitory. Al immediately turned to me and said goodbye while chasing and hugging the demon.

Tsk. They are really bestfriends.
