Kate Ypromoni is a grade 12 student who was involved in a dangerous accident, fell into coma and woke up in a strange world. There, she found herself married to seven men and 2 persistent obsessive ex-husbands after somedays of calmly(not really) observing her somewhat dull life. Now she is about to find out what comes in having seven husbands in this strange world. How will her life change? Will she ever go to her regular life again?
"Kate, we are really sorry about what happened, we-we just can't help ourselves. We fell in love with each other and---"my bestfriend, ex bestfriend to be exact, explained over the phone. I stared in front while driving as I coldly interrupted Jessica's words.
"You don't need to explain that thing to me, Jessica. Drew and I are over, so you can do the things that the two of you wanted to do that you can't do because I'm still there. I will not have a say on it ever again after all, so go on. You don't need yourself to explain, I said coldly, seeming to be unaffected by the betrayal I experienced a while ago.
Jessica was silent over the audio call for a long moment before I heard her cautiously asking.
"Then... are we still friends?"
I let out a cold laugh upon hearing such a ridiculous question. The corner of my lips cocked up in a sarcastic arc, as instead of answering Jessica's question, I fired another question back: "What do you think? Do you think the two of us could still be friends after that 'thing' happened?"
"But you said you don't care about it!" she said, anxious.
I laughed and said, "I don't care about the things that happened between you and Drew. But I very much care about keeping a snake as my friend since I don't know what's the next thing you wanted to steal from me."
"Kate--!"
I did not let Jessica finish what she wanted to say, as her words cut off once again when I ended the call.
A moment of silence filled the inside of my car to give myself time to calm down, but I still did not manage to stop the tears from coming out despite my efforts to hold back. It seems even though I am different from things and will not take any care at all, I will still cry like a normal person when experiencing such things involving the betrayal of my two close friends in this beautiful yet cruel world.
With the winter formal coming up, all everybody could talk about with a smile on their faces was the dance. But here I am, silently crying in my car over the betrayal of my ex-best friend and ex-boyfriend that I have never expected to experience in my entire life. I wanted to forgive them. I wanted to give them a second chance, but I just couldn't bring myself to do it.
'Who said forgiving someone is easy? '
After I am done mourning for this betrayal on this day, I have to go on and do my job as the president of the school tomorrow, signing papers, organizing events, and doing some stuff an energetic council officer should do, acting like I have never suffered such a thing that could lead me directly to depression.
Even if I experience such a thing, I will never be able to give myself time to rest.
'Being a student body council president is also really not too easy'
Everything is just not so easy for me.
I had no idea how long I had been driving there aimlessly, but I felt hugely relieved when I saw an out-of-control truck coming my way. I let go of the steering wheel as I inhaled and exhaled. Closing my eyes, I waited. Until I felt my body breaking apart because of pain. That's when I knew I had fallen into an accident.
Managing to open my eyes to look at my chaotic surroundings with sirens howling in the background, I saw a figure coming in my direction in hurried steps. It is no doubt who's footsteps are it.
I smiled gently for the first time, finally letting myself fall into endless darkness as my eyes blurred.
Silence.
'Hm?'
'Why am I still alive? '
I slowly opened my eyes and was stunned on the spot, seeing such familiar faces.
"Kate, are you coming home with us?" a strange girl asked. I looked straight up at them and saw that these girls in front of me were all part of the student body council.
''Celeste? '' I asked back, confused.
Celeste and the rest of the student body council officers stared at me for a long moment, then switched their gazes down to the paperwork stacked on the table in front of me.
They nodded in understanding and gave me encouraging smiles.
"We will see you tomorrow, then."
They waved at me after saying that. I watched as they filed out of the room, then turned my head to glance at the rain that tickled on the window, then down to the paperwork quietly waiting to be signed.
I sigh and finally sign each piece of paperwork, finally clicking my retractable pen. I am done doing my job as the student body council president for the day.
I don't know why I'm still alive, even though I clearly had a car accident, and I don't know whether I just dreamed of those things, but I felt like there were more for me to find out, so I can only observe my surroundings first. I will take action when I know what situation I am in, instead of acting rashly, which will lead to some bad things.
I slid the files into their designated folders, then stuffed everything inside my bag before I stood up. As I left the office I had been working in, I noticed that it was very dark outside, and the mild rain from a while ago was now very heavy.
Walking through the halls of the school, I noticed that one of the classroom doors was propped open. As a student body council president, I can't stand idly by seeing some supposed closed doors open.
I took a peek inside the propped open door-if this had been a horror movie, I would be the first one to die, I bet. Since my curiosity would lead me to be a monster bait for sure,.
But there were no monsters inside the opened classroom. The only thing inside the room was a hunched figure trembling with 'fear'?
His face was illuminated by the faint light outside, but I didn't recognize him. His curly blonde hair was disheveled, like he had run his hands through it several times.
I frowned slightly,wanting to reprimand such a student for still not going home at this late hour, but surprised myself as I walked up to where he was seated and lightly tapped him on the shoulder. His head shot up so quickly that I thought, for sure, the movement would snap his neck.
"You," I started.
He scowled at me, fear laced in his tone. "What are you doing here?!" he asked rudely. I coldly looked at him in the eyes as I felt the urge to lift my brows at him.
"I was finishing some work for the school," I explained, counting to how many numbers as an effort for me to calm down so I wouldn't lash out. Then I fired his question back at him, "What are you doing here?"
"None of your business" he scoffed. I closed my eyes as I felt my temper boiling over.
I wanted to make another comeback, so I opened my mouth but stopped when the electricity at school suddenly shut down. I looked at the guy who stood at the fastest speed as he looked at me in horror.
Thunder strikes outside the window as panic flashes in this curly blonde boy's blue eyes.
Despite him panicking, I stayed calm as ever, as he had been walking close to me. The lights outside and in the hallway were switched off; the only light in the room was from the bright moon outside.
"What happened?" he asked, fear visible in his tone.
I sighed. "It looks like we are locked in," I said in a scarily calm voice.
Thunder once again struck from outside as the blonde guy in front of me kneeled down, covering both of his ears, his figure huddled tightly in front of me.
Uh-oh.
It seems I am stuck with a scaredy cat.
"There will be no falling in love, we will only act as a loving couple when we are in public, we will share a room to make it believable, but no intimacy, touching is off-limits. We'll only have sex once a month, and that's solely to produce an heir. You won't interfere in my business, and I won't interfere in yours. You will be my wife in every sense and you will not be involved with any other man," he said, arrogance seeping from every word. I watch his mouth move, I'm not ready to fall in love with any man, especially not one as arrogant and egoistic as him. I can handle acting as a loving couple, and as for intimacy once a month. I can agree to that just to satisfy my sexual cravings with no strings attached. "Where can I sign?"
