Chapter 4 Falling Harder

Light

*As Stella started working as Bright’s assistant, her life became worse. His orders were endless and she hardly had any time off. When will this ever end?

 

*Stella heads to her locker with dark circles under her eyes. 

 

Stella’s mind: I could really use some coffee right about now. 

 

*But to her luck, her wish gets granted. She closes her locker and gets greeted by a coffee in front of her.

 

Stella: What the-

 

*She looks up and makes eye contact with a smiling Win.

 

Win: Good morning Stella.

 

Stella: Oh hi Win. Thank you.

 

*Stella takes the coffee from his hands and takes a small sip. She walks hand in hand with him.

 

Win: Are you okay? You seem really tired.

 

Stella: Oh I do? * her face* Yeah I guess I am.

 

Win: Did something happen that I should know about?

 

Stella: *shakes her head* No I’ll be okay but thank you though.

 

Win: No worries. Hey, are you-

 

*Just then Stella gets a text message from Bright. 

 

Stella: I should go. I’ll see you around! *waves to him and runs off*

 

*Win waves to her and sighs to himself. Suddenly Dew appears from behind him and puts a hand on his shoulder.

 

Dew: Looks like you could use a helping hand.

 

*Win turns around and greets him with a handshake.

 

Win: I just want to get closer to her but I don’t know-how. I mean what if I get so attached to her later on and end up getting heartbroken again?

 

Dew: Seems like you need some help. And I’m going to do everything I can to get you two together no matter what. Trust me bro. 

 

Meanwhile…

 

*Stella runs to where Bright is but boy he doesn’t seem pleased. 

 

Bright: *cold tone* You’re late. 

 

Stella: I’m sorry I-

 

*Bright hands her a pocket of money without making eye contact with her.

 

Bright: Go and buy me a pack of cigarettes and also an iced americano no ice.

 

Stella: *murmurs* No.

 

Bright: What did you just say to me?

 

Stella: I said no. Go get your own.

 

Bright: How dare you say no to me? Do you even know who I am?

 

*Stella pushes him getting annoyed by him. She had enough of him and his bossy attitude. 

 

Stella: I’m done being your lousy little assistant. Why don’t you learn to move your lazy and stop bossing others around?

 

*Stella tries to walk away but Bright stops her from doing so.

 

Bright: And where do you think you are going?

 

Stella: Move.

 

Bright: Do you really think walking away would solve your debt towards me?

Besides you owe me 1500 baht for the jacket you ruined the other day.

 

Stella: FYI, that was four months ago.

And I worked my off to make it up to you.

But what do I get in return?

Nothing.

Do you know why?

Because you’re nothing but a picklehead.

All you care about is yourself.

Now excuse me.

 

*Stella tries to walk away once again from the situation but Bright stops her. This time he’s really angry.

 

Bright: What did you just call me? 

Picklehead? 

 

*Bright pushes her 

 

Bright: How dare you call me a picklehead? *grabs her by the collar*

 

Stella: Yeah I called you a picklehead! So what are you gonna do now?

Hit me?

Hit me I dare you!!

 

Bright: Why you little mothering I’ll-

 

*Just then Bright raises his hand at her. Stella closes her eyes and blocks herself from doing so. She panics and pushes him away as hard as he could but to her dismay, he was still holding onto her collar and dragged her with him until they both land on the ground. She opens her eyes and realizes that she landed on top of him but it wasn’t the only thing on top of him. In fact, it was also her lips. She had accidentally kissed him on the lips. Bright screams.

 

Bright: What the did you just do?

 

Stella’s mind: , I screwed up again. Big time.
