The Summer's Solstice

Chapter 1

I woke up from loud knocking on my bedroom door.

"Amiel, where's the breakfast" shouted my cousin Kath.

I scratched my head when I saw that it was only seven in the morning. I got home from work at four o'clock.

I fixed myself before going out. I went straight to the kitchen and saw her boyfriend Raven there. It crawled all over my body. I made him suffer because of what he did.

I started cooking breakfast for the family I was staying with. I was startled when I felt someone caress my leg.

"What?! Get away from me" I forcefully pushed Raven away from me just as Kath arrived.

"Tell your boyfriend, Kath! Wherever the hand lands" I said annoyed.

My cousin laughed at me.

"What are you doing again Amiel. Do you assume that Raven wants you?"

I pulled out my hair and turned away from both of them.

I was ten years old when I went to the family of Aunt Ana, Mama's only sister. My father is Norwegian but my mother also left us. My mother died of lung disease and since my mother had no other siblings, I went to Aunt Ana. They treated me well before, but as time went on, I also saw their true behavior.

As a child I learned to stand on my own two feet. Selling small chichiria pesos at school to somehow save money or writing and making assignments. And now I work part time as a waitress at the bar that Tita Ana and Kath attend.

"Amiel, we don't have groceries there, you buy first" said Kath

"But I'm also last week. Come on now, Kath, I don't have any money here because I still have to pay my tuition" I complained here

"Ah, you're complaining, aren't you?" Kath pushed my shoulder. We're your failure. As long as you buy groceries if I don't see anything later, don't come home" Kath pulled her boyfriend and took him to her room.

I just sat down and got depressed. It looks like I'll make a promissory note again at school. I hope I will be allowed. I'm always late in paying.

After I finished cooking, I also cleaned the house. There is no one else expected here but me. This is one of the conditions why they agreed to let me study, I must still not neglect the housework.

I was about to leave the house when Aunt Ana arrived. It's with a foreigner again. I went out quickly so that he wouldn't introduce me there.

I was waiting for a jeep going to school when a familiar black car stopped in front of me. The car window rolled down and I saw Summer wearing shades. I made him hard and advanced a little.

Even if you are handsome, who are you to me!

The car in front of me also moved forward. Annoyed, I turned to Summer who now had a wide smile on her face. He seems to enjoy teasing me.

"Laina said I need to pick you up. She said she needs a model as in now" he said. I looked at my cellphone when I felt it vibrate.

I answered that right away.

"Beshy please tell me that Brother Yadiel caught up with you. I badly need you right now" Laina said in a panic.

"Yep, he's actually in front of me"

"Oh Thank God. Alright, I know you're bad at my sister, but bear with me please"

"Is there anything I can do?"

"Yes! I love so much beshy"

I put down the cellphone and opened the shotgun seat door.

"Do you know how to seatbelt?" I raised an eyebrow at Summer

"What do you think of me?" I have a stupid question here

"Oh, isn't it? It seems like just yesterday you were panicking to take it. Just keep calm because it's just me" he lifted the shades he was wearing. I shook my head at him

"Who's the Stupid among us? Are you wearing shades when you're in the car? Is there any sun?" Summer's smile immediately disappeared and her eyebrows met. He took off the shades he was wearing so now I could freely look into his hazel brown eyes.

"You're not funny" he said curtly

"If you're funny, if I'm not? I'm sorry, I'm not your typical girl" I said and looked straight at the road.

"Ridiculous" I heard him chuckle before starting the car.

When I got to Laina's school, I quickly got off but stopped. I looked at Summer who had just gotten out of the car.

He was smiling looking at me.

I frowned at this because little by little I felt my heart beat faster

"I don't know where to go" I said here without looking at him. I looked around at Laina's beautiful school.

"You're a hero! There's something you need to know before you walk. Follow me"

I quickly followed Summer's tail as I made my way to Laina.

I can see how women fantasize about him. It's not enough to throw a rose in his path.

That's just handsome but that's a monster!

I smiled at what I thought but it also disappeared when I bumped into Summer's back.

"Ouch!" I hit his back because of his sudden stop. His eyes widened and he looked at me "Why? Is it forbidden in this school not to hit you?" I said rudely here

Summer just laughed at what I said before snorting. I followed where his lips were pointing and saw Laina waving at us.

We approached Laina together.

"Thank you Brother. You are my life savior" he said and hugged his brother.

"Beshy, I'll definitely get back to you after this. I just need a model. I immediately thought of you because even if you're not well-groomed, you're still beautiful" he continued to flatter me.

"Gosh, you said a lot" I said laughing at this.

"Here change your costume" Laina took me to the restroom and changed my clothes there. I wore a white long dress like a goddess type and had a flower crown on my head. When I fixed myself, I also went out. Right after I left, Summer also came out. It also seems to have changed clothes. It is also all white with long sleeves that are folded up to the elbow and the first three buttons are open so that its elegant chest is exposed.

Summer looked at me from head to toe before biting her lip. I threw the tissue I was holding at him.

"You look stupid" I smirked at her before walking away. I even heard his soft laugh when I turned away from him.

"You two are so perfect" Laina said and took us to what looked like their school's garden.

"Ayan, so you two will just post like you Jeah, you will be the goddess and you Brother Summer you will worship her. It's like you're enchanted with her beauty" it explained

"Wait, is it with you?" I asked in surprise and pointed to his twin.

"Yes, come on Jeah just now"

"You thought I wanted to be with you. If it wasn't for Laina, I wouldn't even want to be in contact with someone like you" he said gruffly and walked to the garden first.

I don't know but I felt pain in the way he said the word. It used to be different for me.

I stood far away from Summer but Laina tried to bring us closer.

"Oh come on, you two are still close. I need to pass today" Laina pleaded.

I was surprised when Summer suddenly pulled my hand towards her. I almost fell over if I hadn't leaned against his broad chest.

"Cooperate so we can finish this right away" Summer softly whispered to me. I saw his defiant eyes that's why I reciprocated.

I stood up properly and held his face myself and pressed our foreheads together. I could see the surprise in Summer's eyes because of what I did.

Fuck!!! I made a wrong decision!! Calm down, that's just Summer!!

I could feel my heart beating. I hadn't recovered yet when Summer turned me away from her and wrapped her arms around my stomach from behind. He even placed his chin on my shoulder.

"You want this game. I'll give it to you" he seductively whispered in my ear. I gasped when Summer took both of my hands and placed them on her shoulders. He grabbed my waist and wordlessly lifted me into the air. I raised one of my legs because of the suddenness. While at the top, I couldn't stop looking at Summer's beautiful eyes. Every moment seemed to slow down when our eyes met.

"Perfect!!! I found my perfect picture" Laina said happily causing me to come back to reality.

Summer put me down and pulled my waist closer to her.

"Don't play with me, you might regret it" he whispered to me and I felt his lips hit my cheek before he left me stunned. I held my cheek as I followed Summer's wide back.

I think I'm in trouble.

After the photoshoot, I immediately hurried to leave Jeah's school so I wouldn't be late for class, but I've been standing for an hour and I still don't have a ride. Often only private cars pass by and if there are any, they are already full.

I looked at the clock and held my breath, it seems like I won't make it to my class. I jumped slightly when someone honked behind me.

"Hop in" Summer shouted from the car.

I looked at my watch again and closed my eyes realizing that if I didn't ride with him I would be late forever.

Let's just be patient in the presence of this scumbag

I didn't think twice and immediately got on board.

"How many minutes before your class?" he asked while driving the car

"30 minutes" I answered here and looked at our group chat on the cellphone. Because we have pre-finals today.

No permit, no exam, if there is no promissory note, there is no exam

"D*mn!" I'm weak, it looks like I won't be able to take the exam, I plan to get the promissory note right now, so I left home early because I had to go through Laina.

I just threw myself down on the chair and scratched my head before looking outside.

Haaayy!! It's annoying!!!

"Why?" asked Summer

"Even if you don't hurry, I don't seem to be able to prefi" I said sadly

"Because??" he simply glanced at me because he was also driving

"I didn't pay the tuition and I didn't get a promissory note either" I just closed my eyes. I'll just sleep on the flight.

Before reaching our school, I woke up.

"Just here" I said to Summer but I was surprised when she drove her car inside our campus. The car was looked at because it was obvious that it was already rich.

"Hey, just put it on the side" I complained here because he actually stopped in the middle.

"Baba na" he said and laughed at me

"It's embarrassing that you're looking at us sideways first"

From inside the car, I could see other students staring at us

"You're still shy, aren't you! The car that delivered you is so beautiful. Hurry up"

"You're so arrogant!" I worked hard on him and took a deep breath before going down. I saw the eyes following me that's why I immediately ran away from the car.

When I entered the room, my prof was already there.

"Mam, it's okay, I'll just follow the promissory note" I said goodbye

"Ms. Santos, even if I want to give you permission, I can't. We need to follow the school regulations" she explained to me.

"Just get a promissory note tomorrow. For now, just go outside"

I walked out bowed and sat on the bleachers. I stomped in annoyance.

"You're a bitch, Kath! Instead of taking the exam, I went ahead with it. If I disappear from the dean's lister, I'll kick you out," I complained to the air. I just pulled out my hair in annoyance.

I was surprised when a paper appeared in front of me when I looked Summer was by my side. I looked curiously at the paper he was holding.

"What am I going to do there?" I ask straight here

"Go take your prefinals. I paid your tuition" he said complacently and handed over the paper again. I took it immediately and was amazed to see that he paid my entire tuition for the semester. I stood up in joy.

"Oh my Summer" I was so happy that I hugged her. I felt Summer's seat adjust slightly because of what I did. I broke away from him and looked at the paper I was holding again. I bit my lip and jumped for joy. I even kissed the paper I was holding.

"Thank you very much! I will pay you, I promise. I would like to stay longer in case I have to prefi. Thank you very much"

I got no reaction from Summer she just looked at me and looked at me. I ran away from him but faced him again and called him

"Summer" he stopped walking and looked at me "it's better for you when you don't get angry, you look more handsome" I waved my hand to him and I saw that he smiled because of what I said. I turned and ran into the room.

I am very grateful for what Summer did. I took my prefinals and I can't think about anything else. I will only pay him.

I was walking out of the university when Ivo's group blocked me again.

He threw the yosi in his mouth before approaching me. I hurried to walk past him but he grabbed my arm.

"Yes, long time no see. What can I flirt with?" he tried to bring his face closer to my neck but I pushed him away.
