Chapter 3: Chapter 3- The Beginning or The End?
Maurice's POV
I woke up the next day with a painful feeling on my head. I got up the bed and instantly went to the bathroom and went to the mirror. I almost screamed at the sight before me as I realized that I look like a mess. Messy bed-hair, dried saliva on the sides of my lip and... red puffy eyes. That's when I recalled that I had been crying last night.
I opened the faucet and sighed as I felt the cold tap water running through my warm hands. I washed my face for a bit but I then decided that I must take a warm shower. I opened the switch and smiled as warm water began to flow down on my body.
20 minutes later, I finished showering and I went to my closet to pick some clothes. Since I have school today, I have to wear my uniform which is a cream-colored blouse, a light blue skirt and a light blue necktie. I wore my socks and shoes and I head out of my bedroom.
I grabbed a toast from the dining table and head my way towards the exit but then, mom suddenly called me. "Hey! Aren't you gonna stay for breakfast?" She asked. I shook my head and smiled as I opened the door. "Nah, I'm not really in the mood to eat anything." I said and head out of the house.

I ran my way towards school and I was surprised that no one was there right now. I guess people do wake up late and would go to school around 7:45. I looked at my watch. It says '7:00 am'.... well I guess it is still early then. I should just go to the library to read something.
As I arrived at the library's entrance, two people caught my eye. It was Ciel and a girl from my class, Margaret. He was removing her uniform blouse as they were having a steamy makeout session. 'Jeez... this isn't even allowed in here but oh welp, I dont care about him anynore.' I thought as I opened the library door and went in.
I began to read some comics and novels but after a few minutes of reading, the library door opened, revealing the two who are still doing 'that thing'. He placed her on top of a table and hovered over her, trailing some kisses on her body. Margaret moaned and gave me an evil look as they do that. 'Oh so now she thinks that I'll be jealous because of this? Oh hell no'. I thought as I rolled my eyes and went to the comic books section so that I could avoid them
But then, I heard Margaret saying "Wait a minute, Ciel. I'll be right back. We will continue this at my place later." I heard Ciel groaned in annoyance. "But babe, I wanna do this right now. Come on, we still have plenty of time."
A few seconds later, I stopped getting more books as I saw Margaret heading towards me. I gripped on the books tightly as I feel slightly intimidated. She crossed her arms and smiled. "Hello Maurice. I'm surprised that you are here." She said as she pretended to be shocked. What a bitch!
She placed her fingers on her chin as she started to think of something. "Hmm... now what should I do to embarrass you? Oh I know!" She brought out a cutter from her pocket and smiled in an evil way. Is she gonna kill me???
Is this the beginning or the end? Gah.... I'm screwed.
She had torn my blouse and all of the buttons went bouncing on the floor. I dropped the books as I placed my arms over myself to cover my half-naked top. She laughed as Ciel appeared and slapped her. "We're over now. Don't even think of coming near me or Maurice."
Margaret ran away and Ciel and I was left alone in the library. He removed his black jacket, placed it on me and zips the zipper up. "You should go now to the clinic. You have a cut on your cheek."
I sighed. "Ciel, if you are doing this so that we could get back together, we won't. But thanks though." I said coldly and headed to the infirmary, leaving him.
Jace's POV
The next day, I woke up with a frown on my face. I opened my phone and looked at the date. 'October 25'. I realized that today was the day of the party. I sighed at the thought. How am I supposed to tell Panellope? (Pronouced as Pe-ne-lo-pi)
Anyways... If you guys want to know, Panellope is my real girlfriend (Yes... Im not gonna end up with Isabelle). I met her a few months ago at E-cord, a messenger app. Well specifically, at a server of my fave game, Monster League. She was just a clanmate of mine back then but everything changed when she asked me out.
Speaking of Panellope... she is now calling me. I was gonna answer it but she suddenly hung it up. I decided to call her again.
She answered it after a few seconds. "Hey Jace. Good thing that you are awake... I thought you were sleeping." Penellope said. Well actually she is actually my second alarm clock (mom is my first alarm clock).
I chuckled at what she said. "Oh um, I just woke up tho. No worries. And besides, I still a lot of time to prepare for school." I said as I began to think. "Wait, why aren't you asleep yet?"
She laughed a bit. "Oh you know me. I play Monster league until 3 am." I rolled my eyes. It's almost 4 at her place though.
Yes, Penellope and I are sharing an LDR... also known as a Long Distance Relationship.
"But you should sleep though. It's bad for your health if you sleep late. Do it for my sake... please." I said as i'm becoming a bit worried that she might be playing with someone else.
She groaned in annoyance. "Fine, I'll sleep because you told me so. Goodnight, love." She said and hung up the call. Great! she didn't even say 'I love you' and I haven't told her the 'Isabelle thing' yet.
But then, I began to ask myself. 'Do I really love Panellope at all?'
I shook my thoughts away and went to my closet to get my uniform for school. While getting it, someone shouted 'BOO!' which made me jump in shock. It was my cousin Yuri.
"Hey Jace! Ready for school?" She asked. I was still holding my chest as I was still feeling shocked. "Yeah. I'll just take a bath though."
The 14-yr old groaned in annoyance. "Jeez Jace, hurry up. I don't want to be late for school, ya know." She commanded. Actually she is just staying here for a week because her parents and my dad is on a business trip. "Yeah sure, Yaoi on skates." I said, teasing her name.
She huffed. "HEY! HOW DARE YOU USE YURI!ON ICE IN SUCH A BAD JOKE?!" She said as she stormed off of my room. She hates it when I tease her about that.

A lot of stuff actually happened today but I'm gonna skip it cause it is not really that interesting. Well... the only interesting thing was the whole batch found out that I was going with Isabelle tonight. Most guys argued with me though, including my friend, Koru.
I am currently fixing my tie when I suddenly got a message from Isabelle. Can't believe that she uses E-cord too.
I instantly tap on it and read the message. "Hey. Are you getting ready...?" I read aloud.
I replied to her. "Yeah. I'll probs be there in 40 mins."
She replied after that... jeez I can't believe I send stickers now.... gahh...
I hurried in preparing and called my cousin to help me in fixing my hair. She applied a bit of gel in it... well... she isn't that bad though 'cause she always helps me in these kinds of things.
I went downstairs and waited at the living room. A few minutes later, my doorbell rang and it revealed Isabelle in an expensive silver cocktail dress. I gave her a bored look. "Come on and let's get this over with."
I sat beside her on the back of the limousine. The ride was really silent and I feel tensed. Well, probably because I never ride with a car alone with a girl. I held my head as I began to feel dizzy. Fuck you, motionsickness.
Isabelle suddenly held my other hand. "Are you feeling dizzy? You can lay on my shoulder if you want." She said in a flirty tone. I looked outside. "Um, no thanks... I could handle this." She gripped on my hand harder and held my face. "Don't be shy, jeez." She said and made my head lay on her shoulder. This is soooo awkward.
Jeez... is this my beginning or my end?
We arrived at the party a few minutes later and her whole house is packed with a lot of people. Mostly are students though. I was just looking around and walking when Isabelle grabbed my hand and lead me towards he bathroom. "Isabelle, we should just stay outside, cause this is really a bad idea..."
She slipped her hands in my lips trying to stop me from speaking. "Why dont you chill out a little?" Isabelle says in a hushed tone. I instantly turned red. Oh god, don't fall for this, Jace.
I shook my head. "No, we can't do this... I have a girlfriend." That was the only thing that I could say. Isabelle smirked. "Is she a classmate or a batchmate of ours?" I gulped. "No she isn't in our school.
My breathing went on a fast pace as she travels her hands around my neck. "Jeez... no one will see, I promise. And besides she won't know too." She says as she stares at me with a dark gaze.
I pushed her away and I run away. That girl is a damn lunatic. I went to the garden of the house and sat on the swing. I sighed and took out my phone so I could call Panellope. Panellope, I hope you are online ...! But then, I became more disappointed that she isn't online and hasn't texted me since last night.
I groaned in annoyance. I went to the otuside of a gate and waited for a taxi to pass by. I can't wait to go home.
