The sweet harmony of the chirping birds called my spirit back from its state of unconsciousness and soon I was up.

The warm sun set above the bright blue sky spread its ray across the world, some of it forcing itself through the soft pink curtain decorating the window and touching my face.

I yawned lightly and stretched my body before leaving the bed. Well that was a good night sleep

I realized Nicole's bed was untouched meaning she didn't return back or maybe she spent the night at Damon's.

I laid my bed and strode towards the bathroom to prepare myself for the Saturday.

I dressed in a pair of light blue shorts and a big white baggy shirt. I looked around our not so big room and figured out the balcony will be the best place for my work. I took the materials I needed out to the balcony and set the stand for my canvas up.

Realizing I haven't done the edits of the picture, I took my laptop from its case where it was locked up and got down to work.

I stretched my body and twisted my neck side ways after I was done.

It was getting to noon and Nicole wasn't yet back. I grabbed my phone from the night stand and swiped on the screen and searched for her number.

It went straight to voicemail so I decided to call Damon. Panic started kicking in when he didn't take my call on the fourth ring but died down when he did.

"Andy". He gruffed out and i desperately wanted to scold him but sighed in great relief. "How much did you drink last night Damon and don't tell me you passed the night at the club"

"This isn't how i wanted my Saturday to begin granny" the sarcasm was clear in his morning voice and I couldn't help the eye roll.

"Well you're welcome jerk besides where's Nicole is she there with you?" I heard ruffling of sheets and the sudden tap of feet. "Romero brought her drunk ass back but i guess she stayed at Tiffany's" he explained and I became less worried.

"Alright I'll see you later" I didn't get to hang up when his voice interrupted. "Andy" he called and the tone in which he called simply meant he was uncertain of my answer to whatever he was going to ask.

"What is it?"

"Uhm there'll be a tournament later this evening will-- "Yes Damon I will" although I couldn't see him I could still place the smile on his face in my heart. Before he got the opportunity to thank me I waved him off and hung up.

I pulled my shorts off and changed into a pair of black leggings. Not caring about my appearance i took my flash drive where I had transferred my edited works and left.

I arrived at the school's cyber cafe and luckily it was free of students and occupied Mr Benson who was in charge of the cyber cafe and the janitor. As usual it smelt like ink and coffee.

I greeted the janitor with a smile and walked up to Mr Benson. He is quite familiar with me because i come here to get my work printed.

"Good day Mr Benson" my presence and voice brought his attention to me and a smile appeared on his lips

"My dear, I haven't seen you since the semester began" I smiled and shook my head. "Aren't you being dramatic Mr Benson, it's just a week" he chuckled causing the side of his eyes to wrinkle up.

"Let me guess you are here to print out one of those beautiful photos" he spoke knowingly and got up from the chair to get the printer ready.

"You know me so well Mr Benson"

"Am I ever going to see your paintings I bet they'll be as magical as the pictures" I laughed and shook my head.

''Don't flatter me Mr Benson" he chuckled and stretched his hand to get the flash from me.

"Oh C'mon now, i know your work must be awesome" i smiled at the confidence he had in my artwork.

Once he was done he neatly sealed them in an envelope and handed it to me and as usual he didn't fail to print more than a copy.

On my way back to my dorm i picked a slice of sandwich and a cup of hot chocolate from the cafe

I was welcomed in by the very loud ring of my phone. My hands were full so I dropped the cup of drink on the table and grabbed my phone.

The unknown number flashed repeatedly on the screen making my brows shoot up in confusion.

I ignored it and started eating on my sandwich but the continuous loud ring got me irritated.

The pad of my thumb swiped smoothly across the screen and i place the phone between my ear and shoulder blade.

"You should start packing your bags because you'll be leaving Westview in two days" the voice i thought i won't hear until the year is over boomed angrily in my ears.

How did she--- I realized she called using another phone line. "Mother?"

"You ingrate, how dare you do all those things to Leon and you had the nerves to block my number and disobey me. I wonder how many of them you've slept with Andrea.

I didn't raise you to be a whore young lady, i didn't raise you to be the arrogant and ungrateful person you are. I didn't waste eleven years of my life raising an imperfect daughter. I really don't know who influenced you like this but before I get there on Monday you must have packed your things" I didn't get a chance to yell out my mind she hung up.

The thick tears I managed to block from my glands since the day Romero took me out spilled from my eyes.

Her words hurt like hell cause I wouldn't be receiving such insults if my actual parents were alive.

I can't leave Westview and I'll never leave until I'm done with my studies here. I really couldn't wait to see what Monday will hold.

Ignoring the pain at the back of my head i finished my sandwich and washed it down with the drink. I quickly blocked the number she used in getting to me and switched the phone off.

I pinned the photo to the side of the canvas and let the painting world control my fingers like an architect building their world for them.

I was carried away by the art of what I was doing i didn't know when someone snuck up behind me.

"I'll never stop being amazed by your talents amorè" a light squeal left my lips and I turned around to see it was only Damon. I shot him a glare and smacked his chest.

"What was that for?" I scolded with a tight frown making him chuckle. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to startle to you, I came to check up on you, your phone is switched off and it had me worried" I remembered I turned it off and quickly diverted my gaze from him.

"I'm sorry I got you worried, i didn't want to be disturbed" I heard a light exhale from him and soon he was beside me.

"I've been with you for too long to know that face honey. You either spoke to Nora or that asshole showed up".

I looked down at my feet with a sigh and pushed my weight to my left hip. "It's mother, she said lots of hurtful stuff to me and she mentioned she was coming to get me from Westview" I felt the tears trickle its way down my cheeks.

He scoffed with an eye roll. "Uncle Rodolfo wouldn't let that happen, there's a procedure before one is being taken out of Westview and also before getting in plus you're on a scholarship and if she doesn't have a valid reason that is accepted legally she won't be able to take you out

Your consent is needed and if uncle Rodolfo sees you are being forced he wouldn't mind taking it to court and I bet she wouldn't want her perfect reputation to be ruined" I knew this already cause Mr Rodrigo told me about it the day he invited me to his office but still, I feel worried cause it's Nora Garcia we are talking about here.

"Damon--- "Nope, we aren't going to do this today, you are not going to shed a single tear for either of them and whatever hurtful thing she said to you I hope you don't believe any of them cause that's not who you are besides is it because of her you've been avoiding Romero?" I tensed up at his question.

How did he notice that? His smirk was a prove to confirm his thoughts from me.

"Uhh actually--- "You don't have to explain anything to me honey, if there's someone you should talk to is Romero cause he doesn't like being ignored"

"Why does it matter if I ignore him Damon?" He smirked and twisted his neck a little. "You will know soon. Well since I dropped by I'll just inform you about the time of the game and I left a bag of clothe i got for you" he gave me the information and left me with a kiss on the cheek.

I sat on the stool and continued my work. Despite the beautiful photo of the night scenery in my view one image still occupied my head.

~~~~

I got out of the shower and hurriedly did what i had to do. I got dressed into the simple flowery shorts that was a bit above my knees and the soft pink cut shirt. The look was simple yet beautiful and warm looking blending with the slightly sunny weather.

Knotting my curls up in a messy bun I went with my gloss and slipped into the white toe loop sandals he got for me.

I remembered Nicole gave me a bottle of water last time saying I'll need it so I stopped by the cafe to get one before heading out.

"Sorry" I mumbled out without looking at whoever I bumped into because I was focused on searching for my room card to be sure I put it in. How could i have forgotten that.

"Andrea" the voice of the person made me look up. He had a frown on his face and I noticed he was also in a sport attire which took me by surprise.

I thought perfect people do not get involved in useless activities such as sports.

I didn't want my mood to be ruined before I got a chance to enjoy what the evening held for me so I walked out but he had to be a jerk and pull me back.

"Don't touch me" I gritted out angrily and pulled away from his rough hold. "And where are you heading to?" He doesn't get the message now does he?

"And why do I owe you an explanation?" I raised a brow which caused the frown on his face to deepen

"You've really changed Andrea, what--- I didn't let him finish his statement I gave him a hard slap.

"Don't you ever make that statement in your life. You never knew me, you do not know me and will never know me, for the last time while I am still very nice stay out of my way.

I may be quiet and might have listened to every thing the woman tagged as a mother did to me but I won't hesitate to fight back when i am being treated wrongly, you get that into your empty thick skull" I hissed out angrily and stormed off leaving him yelling my name like a fool.

I got to the arena and i could hear the screams and squeal of the female population already.

I took in a deep breath to calm my raging nerves before getting in. A specular light blue hair caught my attention and when i drew closer to the front seats they were occupied already.

I looked around and found a spot at the back. I made my way through the crowd and climbed up to the empty space.

Much people occupied the front line probably to get a proper view of the hot minions on the court but the facts is that the top seats at the back had the best view.

My eyes caught the tenant that has chosen to live rent free in my head skillfully doing what he has to do.

As usual there was a black mask covering half of his face, a sweat band holding his curly hair in place and giving a proper view of his sides.

Again I was lost in the way his passion led him to carry out his skills on the court and I was filled with the feeling of admiration for him.

I wonder what else he is good at. Bed

My eyes widened like I had seen a ghost cause of the thought that crossed my mind.

This time around I made sure i watched my best friend and just like Romero he is also very good and I was impressed. I also noticed gyeong, Rishi and some other guys from their circle on the court too.

I chose not to spend the remaining minutes ogling him and getting lost in my head so i decided to do something useful.

I took advantage of the crowd taking photos and videos so I stood on the chair and angled my phone properly.

I took so many shots of him and when I was satisfied I locked my phone. I don't want someone i mean Damon or Nicole using my phone and seeing that cause they'll definitely get the wrong idea.

I'll look at the photos later and choose which to edit and work with on my canvas.

The game was over before I realized it. While people tried their best to talk to the players I scurried out because if i didn't leave the janitors will sure be cleaning the pieces of my bursted bladder.
