“Hey, what’s wrong with you” Jace waved at Lucky’s face but she kept that smile there.
“Lucky!” He called and she suddenly returned back to earth.
“What’s wrong? Say something please” he was starting to get scared.
Lucky gulped and shook her head negatively.
“No don’t shake your head, maybe you didn’t hear what I said earlier but I like you” he repeated, feeling a bit scared and nervous.
Lucky still shook her head and began moving backwards.
“I’m.. sorry” she replied before turning around and leaving.
Jace stood there not knowing what to do. They kis-sed that night and she was happy so what suddenly happened now?
◍◍◍◍◍◍◍◍◍◍
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!! I want to die!” Edward cried out, he only just did two sit ups and he was already complaining badly.
“Do you want to have six packs or not?” Dominic who was holding his two feet, said angrily.
“I do!” Edward breathed.
“Then stop shouting, you’ve only just done two so far” Dominic replied.
Edward did one more and collapsed on the floor, breathing as if his whole world has ended.
“Are you sure you’re ready for this?” Xavier asked with a smirk as he was using the trade mill.
“Yes I am” Edward replied, still laying on the floor.
“Then get up and let’s get that stomach in” Dominic forcefully pulled him up.
It wasn’t easy to convince Edward to do ten more sit ups, he was already sweating and crying.
“You’re such a kid” Xavier rolled his eyes and came down from the trade mill.
“My stomach is paining me, I’m going to throw up and die for real!” Edward cried and Dominic let him go.
“If you really want to look good then you’ll have to endure but all you do is complain now I’ll ask you one more time, why are you doing this?” Dominic asked slowly as he stared at Edward.
Edward struggled to pick himself up before sitting on the floor and sighing out.
“You’re right, I didn’t want to do this for myself, I mean I like all these, I love being chubby with soft stomach and big cheeks so each time I feel sad I can grab my stomach and pinch it” he said with a pout.
“Okay that is weird but go on” Dominic replied and Xavier came to sit beside him.
“I like a girl that’s why and I think she might not be attracted to someone like me” he said in a tiny voice.
Dominic and Xavier exchanged looks before Dominic looked at Edward again.
“You want to change your looks for a girl? Did she tell you she doesn’t like chubby boys?” He asked.
“No” Edward replied.
“So you just a-ssumed?” Xavier asked.
“Yes” he nodded.
“Why don’t you try telling her and seeing her reply, if she doesn’t like chubby guys then let her be, changing your appearance just for someone to like you is totally bullshît because you won’t feel comfortable with each other that way. By the time you’re back to before, the person won’t waste a time into pushing you away so if you want someone,like them for them and let that person like you for you and you’d love yourself more” Dominic said.
“Wow, someone is giving out romantic vibes” Xavier smirked and Dominic rolled his eyes.
“You’re right!” Edward stood up but immediately held his stomach with the sudden pain due to the exercise.
“Good, now don’t stress yourself for what you don’t really want and be happy the way you are, there’s nothing more better than that” Dominic said with a smile.
“Thank you Dominic, I’ll do what you just told me now” Edward smiled and walked to the male restroom with his hands on his stomach.
Xavier just watched him leave before turning to look at Dominic.
“How do you know all that?” He asked.
“Because I have a girlfriend now and I know why I was attracted to her” he replied with a proud smile as he remembered Gwen.
He was starting to miss her already.
“What? You have a girlfriend already? Is it Gwen?” Xavier looked surprised.
“You’ll see” Dominic smiled and began stretching his arms.
“Wow, you know I feel like having a girlfriend to, what do you think of Erica?” Xavier asked with a thoughtful look.
“If you think you’re serious about her then go after her” Dominic shrugged before walking to the trademill and climbing it.
“I’m sure, I might not know what I’m feeling but she’s really interesting and I feel like I need to get close like to know more about her” he said.
“Alright Mr Playboy” Dominic chuckled and began running on the treadmill.
“You’re mocking me right? You’ll see” Xavier nodded and went to carry some weights.

When Naomi entered the room, she met Gwen and Erica discussing about something.
“Hey guys” she called and they turned to her immediately.
“Naomi,we were just talking about you come here” Gwen called her over with a smile.
“What were you talking about me?” Naomi asked as she moved towards them.
“Look at this empty bed and wardrobe over here, it’s yours” Erica said with a smile.
“Huh?” Naomi looked confused.
“I said that this is your space now, we just talked to the hostel manager and we won’t you to move in, he said it’s fine” Erica repeated.
“Really so I can bring my things and move in now?” Naomi asked excitedly.
“Yes now!!” Gwen smiled.
“Thank you guys, I’ll move in tomorrow morning” Naomi smiled.
“What happened to now?” Gwen asked.
“I have to go see my father, I just came back from seeing Dante” Naomi replied.
“You went to see Dante? What’s going on?” Erica asked with narrowed eyes.
“I owe him a lot, he saved my father’s life by paying for the hospital bills” Naomi muttered.
“Okay what is really going on?” Erica asked again.
“Dante? The same arrogant Dante paid for your father’s bill?” Gwen asked like she couldn’t believe.
“I was surprised to, he kept me companied throu-ghout my stay in the hospital and when I slept off, he wrapped his jacket around my shoulder” Naomi replied.
Erica covered her mouth with her palms as she gasped loudly.
“Maybe he’s not at bad as we had thought” Gwen said.
“Or maybe he has a soft spot for Naomi, even when Dante wasn’t turned the leader of the basketball team yet, you won’t see him being nice to anyone especially me that was his best friend’s girlfriend at that time” Erica said.
“Or maybe it’s just his human side acting” Naomi replied.
“Yeah his human side acting for only you shows he has a soft spot for you” Erica smirked and Naomi rolled her eyes.
“Naomi I also have something to tell you” Gwen suddenly spoke in a nervous voice.
Naomi looked at her and she breathed heavily.
“Dominic and I are dating already” she said slowly, studying Naomi’s face closely.
“Congratulations” Naomi smiled.
“You’re not mad or feeling anyway?” Gwen asked slowly.
“I already told you that it’s fine, don’t you trust me again, I swear I’m for real this time” Naomi rolled her eyes.
“Really?” Gwen asked.
“Yeah, pas-sa message to Dominic to take good care of you or else!” She showed Gwen her fist and Gwen laughed.
“Alright, enjoy your dating life and maybe sometimes gist us about it someday, gotta go” she waved and began leaving.
“Don’t forget to move in when you get back!!” Erica yelled and Naomi just chuckled before leaving completely.
◍◍◍◍◍◍◍◍◍◍
The boys came back from the gym only to meet Jace sitting on the floor, looking like his life is already over.
“Jace what’s wrong?” Xavier asked and gave Dominic a confused look.
“Don’t tell me it’s what I think it is” Edward said.
“I mean I don’t get it, we kis-sed that night and she was happy, she was even happy when she saw me this morning so why did she go back” he muttered.
“What are you talking about?” Dominic asked, looking confused.
“Lucky rejected you didn’t she?” Edward said again.
“Wait, what’s going on between Jace and Lucky?” Xavier asked with a confused look.
“I’ll tell you. The both of us are in love with her, actually Lucky use to be crazily obsessed with Jace but Jace acts like she didn’t exist, no one knows that he was secretly attracted to her too, why she don’t try to hide what she feels for him, he feels the same way but act like he doesn’t care. Then Lucky and I began getting close and I’m starting to get attracted to her but Jace here told me to back off, he even challenged me that I won’t be able to win her over without him doing it first” Edward explained.
“Okay what I don’t get here is that, if you like her so much then why did you take so long to tell her?” Dominic asked Jace.
Jace only arranged his hair backwards without saying anything.
“Were you actually waiting for her to throw you a surprise party by confessing her feelings to you? I also noticed she was into you but I didn’t bother talking about it with you because all you give her is red flag” Dominic rolled his eyes.
“I noticed that too” Xavier nodded.
“So you heard she was in love with another person and you decide to claim her and now she’s not into you anymore, you’ll have to blame yourself for that one Jace” Dominic shrugged.
“Shut up!” Jace muttered.
“It’s the truth man, you were too late and you lost your chance!” Dominic rolled his eyes again and went to the bathroom.
“So Jace is out which means I have lots of chance with her” Edward smiled to himself.
“Yen yen yen, she won’t still choose you!” Jace yelled and stood up before dashing out of the room angrily.
“Good-luck Edward and make sure this doesn’t break our bromance” Xavier tapped Edward’s shoulders before going to join Dominic in the restroom.
◍◍◍◍◍◍◍◍◍◍
It’s evening already, Lucky just came back to the room, she met Gwen and Erica laying on their beds.
Gwen kept smiling and pressing her phone, everyone knows what the smiling meant while Erica was just doing nothing.
They noticed Lucky’s present and they turned to face her.
“You took so long out there, I’m guessing you two are now a romantic couple” Erica smirked.
“No we are not” Lucky sighed and sat on the bed.
“Why? What did he do?” Gwen asked.
“He didn’t do anything, it’s just that I’ve waited all my life for this day to happen, it finally happened and I just walked past it” Lucky replied.
“So you turned Jace down?” Gwen asked and Lucky nodded.
“What happened to the “yes I’m ready” you were telling us some hours ago?” Erica asked.
“I don’t know what happened, he confesses and I suddenly remembered another person, Edward said he likes me” Lucky replied.
“Edward likes you?” Gwen asked and Lucky nodded.
“Then what do you think of him?” Erica asked.
“Funny, cute, intresting, and I love his chubby face and stomach” Lucky smiled and cupped her cheeks as she remembered Edward.
“So it’s Edward you like then?” Gwen smiled and Lucky stood up with a panicked look on her face.
“Do I like him? I don’t know? I mean Edward is not as handsome as other guys,chubby guys are not my taste” she said.
“But you had a handsome and perfectly built guy asked you out but you turned him down when you remembered the handsome and chubby guy?” Gwen asked with one of her brows raised.
Lucky sat down back, not knowing what to say.
“Accept that you’ve falling for chubby chubby already before another girl takes him, I know girls that are into chubby guys” Erica said.
“And besides Dominic just told me that Edward followed him to the gym, he wants to loose weight for a girl he likes” Gwen said and Lucky stood up again.
“No he’s not losing those weight” she said.
“Then chase after him before you miss the boat, my mom got cheated on five times with her ex boyfriends, handsome and perfect but my chubby dad came the picture and treated her well now they are really happy, their love grows stronger each year” Gwen said.
“Then I would go chase after him!” Lucky stood up and began running out of the room.
“Go girl!” Erica shouted after her before giving Gwen a high-five.
◍◍◍◍◍◍◍◍◍◍
Lucky knocked brou-ght her hands to knock the door but suddenly dropped then back.
“What if he suddenly rejects me like I did to Jace” she muttered.
“Reject who?” Edward’s voice startled her and she turned back to look at him.
He was putting on a tee shirt and pinafore jeans for male and at once holding a bag of food.
‘Why is he looking cuter than usual?’ she asked herself.
“What.. are you doing here?” She stuttered.
“It’s my room” Edward replied.
“I heard you wanted to lose weight, why?” She asked.
“It’s that why you came here?” He asked back.
“Is it because of me?” She ignored his question.
“I mean won’t I look more handsome to you if I lose a bit of weight” he asked back again.
Lucky palmed her face on the face before moving closer to him.
“Why do you wanna change yourself for me? Do you know that if you had done that then I won’t like you anymore?” She said angrily.
“Like me anymore.. what do you mean?” He asked.
“Remember when you told me you like me? I like you too” she said shyly.
“You must be joking” Edward replied.
“I’m serious” she said.
“You like me too? You’re too beautiful to like me you deserve someone more…”
“Edward!!!” She cut him off with a scream.
“I just said I like you too! Is this how you’re going to reply me!? I’m leaving!!” She yelled and turned around to leave.
She was drawing attention towards them.
“Don’t leave! I like you too!!” He yelled back.
His room door opened and Dominic came out with Xavier.
“If you really mean it then show me! Do something!” She said.
“Can I kis-s you then?” He asked and Xavier face palmed himself.
“Do you need to ask bro?” Dominic muttered and shook his head.
“You don’t need my permission, come here” Lucky replied and Edward dropped his food down and rushed to her.
Dominic gasped and covered Xavier’s eyes.
“You don’t need to see that, lesson 2, we need to teach Edward how to be romantic” he muttered and Xavier nodded in agreement.
Jace was secretly watching from the window with a sad and at the same time angry look on his face.
