Sorry Sherin

Elise is staying here in the mansion, I heard that her things are now being moved into Cedrick's room as well of course. The past few days, Cedrick treated me like his younger sister and we don't do sex. I don't think he'll kick me out if we can't even share the bed anymore with the way he's acting now.

I faced the mirror and looked at my reflection. I'm going to go in again now and I'm wearing black jeans and white shoes and a cute pink blouse that I'm tying the ribbon around my chest. I combed my slightly wet hair and put a little makeup on my face.

Just lipstick, eyebrows, and face power to make my face a little glowy and hide my under eye dark circles. After I got ready, I went straight to the dining area because Elise asked me to go with her and Cedrick to have breakfast earlier. Even though I didn't want to, I didn't do anything else because he insisted and it was embarrassing to refuse. I can probably eat at the table with them. And I hope... I really hope... I could.

I carried my bag down while Trevor's hoodie was hanging on my arm. I also put a strand of hair on my shoulders so that my face doesn't look wide even though it really isn't. I was just in the living room when I could hear the laughter of Cedrick and Elise.

I took a deep breath and flashed a smile before heading to the dining room.

"Hi!" Elise greeted me.

I smiled at her. "Hello." I said and sat in front of him, Cedrick was on my left because he was sitting in the center slash the front seat.

When I sat down, I put my bag next to my chair and I hung Trevor's coat on its backrest. When I got ready, Elise gave me an accusing look, switching between me and Trevor's hoodie.

"Why?" I raised an eyebrow.

She teased me with her smile. "So whose hoddie is that? That's a man's thing and based on my observations... that color isn't your hype." She theorized.

I nodded as if what she told me was not a big deal and put a hot dog and tosino on my plate.

"Yeah. That's my classmate's hoodie." I answered him and took a bite.

"There's no man that will lend their hoodie to women unless they like them." She shrugged.

I almost choked on what I was eating so I drank the juice that was next to me. "I don't think so..." I said confidently.

"Really? Why not bring him here?" She said energetically.

I listened to Cedrick cough. "No. She was not allowed to bring men here." Cedrick's authoritative manner.

"What? Are you serious, Ced?" Elise.

Cedrick nodded with his right brow rose. "Yes."

"Funny. Sherin is old. Allow her to date any man out there." Elise is arguing but she is still in a good mood except for Cedrick who is now serious.

"No. That's final." He said seriously.

I swallowed as I simply looked at the two of them and took a bite of my food. They are still arguing and Trevor doesn't like me. I'm fighting, huh? Is that what anyone wants? To be embarrassed in front of your blockmates?

Cedrick and Elise are talking about something now that I don't understand, I couldn't get myself into their topic since I don't honestly know about it. The serious one and it's like Cedrick is laughing angrily... He's so far from the way he looked before. It's really quick to feel relieved when Elise's presence is next to him. And that's love. That's how love moves.

Elise said goodbye first to use the bathroom. I laughed because we were still eating and nature called him. While eating, he was still in the bathroom. Meanwhile, Cedrick is still here, with me.

Using my peripheral vision, I saw him seriously sipping his glass. "I couldn't be able to send you up to the university. Elise and I have a walk today." Cedrick said making my chest feel a little squeeze.

I drank from my glass before answering and nodded.

"Yes sure. No problem." Supposedly I was relieved at the answer

"How did you get to your school these days? I haven't driven you there last week since I am busy." He asked, slicing his meat on his plate. "Did your guy fetch you here?" he added a question that made me cough.

"Guys?" My voice was mixed with laughter.

"Guys?" He mocked me. "He owns that hoodie, right?"

I wiped the excess food from the side of my lips with a table napkin before answering him.

"Yes. Trevor owned that hoodie but he is not my guy." I said clearly and honestly.

"Really?" He was not convinced. "But how did you get to your school these past few days anyway? You have not answered my question." he asked as if I was hiding something from him.

"I go there by riding in a tricycle. And if you're thinking that Trevor is picking me up. Nah. I'm not making him pick me up." I explained to fulfill his doubts. I only rode there once again after our fight and it was because of school, it was against my heart.

"W-What? Tricycle?" He seemed surprised by what I admitted.

"Yeah?" I dipped my spoon again into the rice and sank it inside my mouth.

"Was that the reason why you spent less on your credit card?" Cedrick stopped eating and now seems angry with me.

"You know?" I asked and drank from the glass. He is a bit nervous because his face is no longer a good blend.

"Of course. I monitored it." He said plainly.

I sighed before explaining my side because now he seems angry. Will I embarrass his image just because I use a tricycle? Is he afraid that Elise will find out and think that he is making me ride a tricycle? I swallowed saliva. "It's the same. I can get there if I ride a car or even a tricycle.

"Nah. Get a grab if I'm not there to send or receive you." he said seriously and drank again.

I nodded solemnly in agreement. "Copy." I said it was like his younger brother. I tried to hurry the food so I could leave. I haven't been feeling well for a while and it seems like the weight is heavy. I don't glance at Cedrick anymore because it seems like when our eyes meet, he will make trouble or hurt me.

Just like Cedrick told me, I used a grab to the university because if he caught me riding a tricycle, he would kick me out of his house. It's obvious that he doesn't want a pure woman in his house, remember that he loves her image more than anything.

I continued walking through the gate until I reached our building. While climbing the stairs to the classroom I was surprised, I often meet my blockmates coming down here but now they are not there, I am the only one walking in the hallway. I was nervous because I might be late but I knew it was still ten minutes early.

The door was also closed as well as the windows of the classroom, which only increased the anxiety building up in my chest. And when I opened the door, I suddenly stepped back in shock when they showered me with confetti and they all shouted... "Sorry, Sherin! I love you, man!" The next thing they thought was teasing and they laughed.

I couldn't help but smile peeking on my lips and I looked for the promoter no'n, and when our eyes were surprised, I was not wrong. Trevor is smiling at me now and full of pleading, as well as his eyes that are now still shining. Something hides in my chest and my heart rate doubles. I bit my lip because I felt like I was about to pee in my pants!

God, Trevor! Why does he make my heart beat so fast!

"Ayeeee!" That was the noise that filled the room as Trevor walked up to me with his arms outstretched, ready to embrace me. I tried to fight the smile so I didn't look like I was immediately taken by his surprise and made him suffer. I punched his chest when he got close to me.

"I humiliated you in their eyes so they should all see how I kneel down to ask for your forgiveness." he narrated while walking. Along with the softening of my face is the melting of my heart.

I felt like I was sitting in a hammock that he was trying to pull me while staring into Trevor's eyes. He knelt in front of me and took out the flower from his back. He smiled very sweetly at me. "Sorry Sherin. I love you, bro." He is repeating what our blockmates shouted earlier.

I stared at his face before answering him. I winced at the joke. "What's that again? I'm not going to go near you because you're going to shift your course?" I imitated what he said the other day. He just laughed so I kicked his thigh weakly.

I held his chin and authority lifted me up. "I'm sorry but... I don't want it. You could have blame me if I ruin your dream in life."

"Gosh! Stop being so cruel! I know you have miss Trevor too!" My eyes widened when, Seyah shouted from the side. "Trevor is missing you ever since you guys stops talking!"

I tilted my lips while looking at him evilly.

"This guy? Missed me? Well, I was still with you last Saturday!"

"Oh wow! You're on a date?!" cried another of my classmates from behind. I also just now realized that they were all holding one balloon each with the colors pink and red. The former was romantic and you thought Trevor proposed to me! But I'm not against it. Just now I felt a thrill again after witnessing such an effort to ask for an apology.

I turned my eyes back to Trevor and caught him staring at me now, if I'm not mistaken he must have been staring at me a while ago because he still grinned and looked away but looked back. "Stand right there!" I yelled, holding him still. Almost every day... he always makes me smile.

When my whole family died, I found out smiling was the hardest thing to do. To the point I also saw my future self never doing it. Sometimes when I'm alone I'm always sad, my heart is always empty. But when I'm in Trevor's arms... You guys give me a different feeling compared to when I'm stuck in Cedrick's arms.

They were both good at me... But Trevor thighs are different. His the kind of man who will lower his flag just for you to win the war. He is that man who hesitates whether to say something bad to you and if he does, he will say sorry and is so proud, his actions are so effortful.

I'm also thinking that how can the whole class agree to this? Like... I know that other girls in my class look up to him. And his initiation of this work is... very meaningful.

Sometimes I thought that he likes me that's why he is like this if he puts effort into something just for me.

When with Cedrick... I always ask myself... Who am I to love and take care of him?

But when it comes to Trevor... What is there in me to treat him like I'm too valuable?

"Hey," I woke up from deep thought when Trevor squeezed my hand. "Are we good?" He is like a child negotiating with me. I looked at his face again and didn't answer him, until... I raised my arms and hugged him around his neck. Telling him that yes... I agreed to his question.
