“Mel, it’s up to you. Would you like to go with him or me?” Axel asked, staring directly at Ace.
Melanie stared at him, her eyes moving to his hand which was holding hers.
She opened her mouth to say something when…
“Melanie!” Lauren called, rushing to the scene
Axel let go of her hand slowly before walking to his car, he slid inside and the car drove off immediately.
Melanie watched as the car drove out of sight before facing Lauren.
“Lauren,” she smiled shortly.
“Melanie, can we have a little chat?” Ace asked.
That was when Melanie realized he was still holding her hand. She threw a dirty look at him before yanking her hand away from his.
“Stay away from me” she glared.
“Are you that dumb to read the handwriting on the wall? It’s clear you already lost your chance with her, so f-__-k off!” Lauren threw an angry stare at him. She held Melanie’s hand and dragged her away.
Ace sighed. He ruffled his hair hard before walking away.

“What was he doing there?” Lauren asked Melanie. They were at the bus station, waiting for the next bus.
“To win me back, but it ain’t happening. I h@ťě him so much now” Melanie said.
Lauren stared at her.
“Why does that feel like a lie?” She asked.
“You still love him, don’t you?”
Melanie sighed and started playing with her fingers.
“He’s my first love, he was my first in everything. It’s not easy to stop loving him” she mumbled.
Lauren smiled and wrapped her arms around her shoulder.
“I understand you, Melanie. The fact that he cheated on you with Paisley must have really hurt a lot, I still get mad whenever I think about it”
“Can you please do me a favor by not mentioning her name anymore?” Melanie said.
Lauren sighed before nodding slowly.
“Just know I’m here for you, okay?”
Melanie smiled.
The bus arrived and they both entered, taking a seat by the window.
Melanie rested her head on the window, thinking about Paisley.
****
“What are you doing?” Melanie asked, coming out of the bathroom.
Paisley quickly hid her phone behind her back and let out a smile.
“Nothing,” she said.
Melanie wiggled a brow teasingly before going closer to her.
“Nothing? That’s a lie, you’re chatting with a guy, right?”
Paisley smiled widely.
“Well, you’re right. My boyfriend” she said.
“Your what?!” Melanie screamed, wide-eyed.
“Keep your voice low, Mel” Paisley cautioned.
“You have a boyfriend and I wasn’t aware of it?” Melanie frowned.
“We just started dating so I kept it as a secret”
“A secret from me, your best friend? That’s unfair, Paisley. The very first day I started dating Ace, you were the first person I told about it. I literally tell you everything that’s going on in my life, but you love keeping yours from me, that’s not fair” Melanie sat on the bed and folded her arms across her chest.
Paisley grinned and shifted closer to her.
“Sorry, huh? Melanie,” she shakes her body.
Melanie scoffed, not smiling a bit.
Paisley smiled mischievously. She set her hands on Melanie’s body and started tickling her.
“Stop! Stop! Pais!” Melanie yelled, laughing her heart out loud.
Paisley stopped and Melanie pulled her to a hug.
“You know I can’t get mad at you, huh?”
“Sure” Paisley smiled.
“So, tell me. Who’s the guy? I mean, your boyfriend” Melanie asked.
Paisley’s body suddenly went stiff and that made Melanie break the hug.
“You aren’t going to tell me?” She asked.
“It’s a secret!” Paisley screamed and ran out of the room.
“Paisley!” Melanie yelled, running after her.
“You have to tell me his name!!!”
****
The memories filled Melanie’s head and tears began to roll down her cheeks.
She never knew the boyfriend Paisley was talking about was her own very boyfriend. The guy whom she loved a lot.
She was planning to accept Paisley back if she apologized to her, she could never let her go like that.
But, it seems she was the only one who took Paisley as a friend.
“Melanie,” Lauren called beside her.
Melanie quickly cleaned her cheeks before facing Lauren with a smile.
“We’re here” Lauren mouthed.
“Oh…”
They got down from the bus and started walking to the school.

MONASH UNIVERSITY, CHEMISTRY LAB***
Axel entered the lab and met a few people there, Aaron and Aiden were present.
“It’s Axel. Gosh, he’s looking so hot”
“I’m getting wet already”
“Is this a human? He’s so perfect”
The few girls in the lab started to murmur.,
“Hey!” Aaron waved.
Axel nodded slightly before putting on his lab coat.
Aiden walked to him.
“You aren’t putting on your mask today,” he said.
“Yea…” Axel muttered. The mask always scares Melanie a lot so he decided not to put it on today.
“Why? Your Mom might see you”
“It’s just for today, she won’t be able to,” Axel said.
Ace entered and walked straight to Axel.
“We need to talk, Axel,” he said.
“About what?”
“Why did you have to interfere in I and Melanie’s business? I still don’t get it, how’s that your business?” Ace asked, almost yelling.
“It was clear that she wanted you away, so I did what I had to do” Axel shrugged.
Hearing that, Ace sighed.
“Do you know how I can win her back?” He asked after a while.
Axel turned to him.
“Are you still f-__-king her friend?” He asked.
Ace went silent.
“If you are, then just forget about it” Axel muttered before going to Aaron who was waving him over.
“You’re still dating Paisley?” Aiden asked, staring at Ace in surprise.
“It’s not my fault, she keeps coming and I just can’t help it” Ace said.
“You’re done for, Man” Aiden shook his head.
“Just forget about ever getting her back, you’ve lost her already” he added.
Ace glared at him before walking away.
“Why? I just said the right thing, didn’t I?” Aiden shrugged.
****
Melanie entered the class with Lauren beside her. Paisley was in the class, their eyes got locked before Paisley finally broke eye contact.
“Why are you standing?” Lauren asked.
“Nothing. Let’s sit over there” they both went to sit down.
A guy who’s at a corner smiled, his eyes fixed on Melanie.
“She’s beautiful, isn’t she?” He asked his friend beside him.
“Very beautiful,” his friend muttered.
“I’d like to date her,” the guy said.
“f-__-k Kylie, so soon?” His friend chuckled.
Kylie grinned, still staring at Melanie.
“She’s just so pretty,” he said.
***
“Melanie, right?” A girl asked, walking to where Lauren and Melanie sat.
Melanie turned to her with a surprise stare.
“Yes… How?”
The girl smiled and sat beside Lauren.
“Everyone’s talking about you”
“Everyone, you say?” Melanie asked, staring at Lauren who was also surprised.
“Yea. Because you’re pretty”
Melanie looked around and truly, few eyes were on her.
“Wow! My baby seems to be popular” Lauren said happily.
“Stop it,” Melanie hits her arm.
“By the way, I’m Julie,” Julie introduced.
“I’m Lauren”
“Do you mind being friends with me? Actually, I’m repeating this course and you don’t have to worry, I literally know everything about this school”
Melanie smiled.
“I don’t mind actually, right Lauren?” She faced Lauren
“Yea, sure. Don’t worry, Momma is gonna treat you well” Lauren winked.
“Momma?” Julie stared at Melanie.
“She’s crazy,” Melanie shook her head and laughed.
Julie laughed too while Lauren pouted.
