The second day of the exam proceeded early next morning. As Hayley walked the stairs, she heard men talking. She came to a halt. Her lovely brows furrowed, unsure of what was going on. Her uncle is talking to her father early in the morning. Was he merely dropping by to quarrel with her father?
"Big brother, this is ridiculous!" Will you let someone like that marry your daughter?”28Please respect copyright.PENANAr1mM0jDyb7
She's too young to get married, as I have told you. Damon is aware of this. He's only a prospect, a good candidate," Hayley's father sighed.28Please respect copyright.PENANAEhHMnX7JO7
Her uncle was appalled. "He has a ten-year age difference with her.”
"Who cares about age?" Hayley stated. Her uncle was interrupted when she arrived and sat down for breakfast.28Please respect copyright.PENANAyY8W3YdT1W
"Good morning, darling," Hayley's father said, his face softly smiling.
“Good morning, dad. Uncle, what are you doing here?” She said. Then asked for her breakfast. The maid nodded and go to the kitchen. 28Please respect copyright.PENANAhOAveBMsiW
“And you bad girl, you had a crush on him since you were little. Is this your idea?”28Please respect copyright.PENANAKetIg719oW
Hayley fixed her gaze on her uncle.
Her father and uncle were taken aback. "You should not be saying that, Hayley," her father told her.28Please respect copyright.PENANAXNetMW0Bhg
“Look at her.” Is what her uncle said.28Please respect copyright.PENANAu2r5HxeuQk
Hayley just rolled her eyes. Then her breakfast came in. “Thank you.”
After breakfast, she goes to her room to get her bag. 28Please respect copyright.PENANAnX0vQ9la8l
“Stop there, young lady.” Her uncle said.28Please respect copyright.PENANA1HYcnBb8ds
“Dear uncle, if I really stop here, I’ll be late.”28Please respect copyright.PENANAHUS7RgLMzl
“Stop being sassy with me.”28Please respect copyright.PENANAARRnvEPHtL
Hayley rolled her eyes at him, then walked past him.28Please respect copyright.PENANAc58n5dovkE
“Hey! You little punk.” Her uncle said. He’s a little frustrated now. “I am telling you if you decided to marry that cold-face jerk, I swear-”
Hayley stopped going down the stairs. Her abrupt stop almost made her uncle crash into her. She looked back at him and with a funny look on her face she said; “Cold-face-jerk. Really?”28Please respect copyright.PENANAXhahLMl3Kg
Her uncle stared at her like she was an idiot. “Yes, duh.”28Please respect copyright.PENANAmsLbDW9wRg
Hayley just laugh. Then she continued to go downstairs. “Okay, so this cold-face jerk is not worth having engagement to, according to you, my dear uncle. At least give me a good reason before I cut off the poor guy.”28Please respect copyright.PENANAXXtyIUSNgU
“Because he is ten years older than you, and it is a crime marrying a minor.”
Hayley burst to laugh. “Okay, if you say so, my dear uncle. I will let him know right now,” Hayley said. Then took her phone inside her jacket pocket then dialed a number.28Please respect copyright.PENANAqPQAvVd5qI
“Oi! You little-”28Please respect copyright.PENANAEOdJrAQTJX
“Rob, I’m ready to go. Please bring the car to the front, thank you," Hayley said. She was talking to her driver while looking at her uncle’s horrid expression. She was grinning like a little devil.28Please respect copyright.PENANA8ZPkQYPuWJ
Her uncle didn't know what to say. He was dumbfounded, stranded in the middle of the steps, as Hayley ran down the stairs giggling.

"I'm not sure I'll make it through the next three days!" Yuri said, appearing dejected. They were currently eating lunch on the roof top.28Please respect copyright.PENANAU3T4Z3alQU
"Well, you should. "Or else you'll be sent to a boarding school somewhere far away from here," Raeven said.
Yuri sighed sadly. “Before, I think going to a boarding school would be fun. But my friends in London don’t think so. They claimed that the staff was overly strict! No parties after 8pm. And you can’t go out during weekdays. And Sundays they need to attend Sunday mass- it’s a must.”
“Now you know. "You'd better do well these next few weeks," Hayley says as she bites into her cucumber sandwich. She was reading off her notes. There is a science test after lunch.28Please respect copyright.PENANA8ku8HrG3x3
When Yuri noticed what Hayley was occupied with, her mood improved. “Oh! Science is one of my favorite subjects. Later, I'll do better," Yuri promised, a bit thrilled.28Please respect copyright.PENANA0goaPXlAWb
Angel smiled at the optimism of her adorable friend. “That’s the spirit Yuri. You can do this.”28Please respect copyright.PENANAxmBhY2IYny
Oh, how about we all come over to my house and bake before studying, suggested Yuri.
“Good idea.” Raeven said. 28Please respect copyright.PENANASgsveaM28v
So the four young ladies ended up heading to Yuri's house after school. They had just been there for a short time when Yuri's younger brother and nanny arrived.
“Yvo! Welcome home. How’s school?” Yuri asked. She bounced up while walking towards her little brother cheerfully.28Please respect copyright.PENANAtW1sQ15rCD
The little brother is only 7 years old in his prescription glasses. Looking so cute with his light brown hair and small frame.28Please respect copyright.PENANAm6OVXCz9Ez
“Oh, my. Yuri, your little brother, is so cute. She looks exactly like you,” Angel said. Speak the truth, the little boy looks so adorable.
Yuri took her brother's arms in hers and led him closer to her companions. “I know, right? I think cuteness runs in the family.” Yuri said while giggling.28Please respect copyright.PENANAlil88CEnQo
Hayley noticed the little boy staring at her, and so she looked at him, but the boy was startled. He blushed, then looked down. Raeven saw it and then smiled. She can't believe that Hayley's charm can have the same effect on a young boy as it does on adults. Hayley exudes a remarkable charisma.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAUqOkhQYRFL
"Your brother is so adorable. I'm sure he'll be quite gorgeous as he grows up. Can you wait until you're older for this big sister?" Hayley teasingly questioned the youngster.28Please respect copyright.PENANAIfQHH2U7Pi
Yuri held her younger brother, protectively. "No way. Remember that you already have someone waiting for you? A handsome CEO who is mature," Yuri added.
However, it must not be denied that the youngster continued to blush. The fact that the tips of his ears got somewhat red makes it very clear, or perhaps he was just ashamed.28Please respect copyright.PENANAB4gf8h6SVV
Yuri called the girls into her room after a day spent baking and conversing with them about their crushes and schools and decided to treat them to something amusing.28Please respect copyright.PENANAZNJLpYZZx3
The girls looked at a thick girlishly decorated notebook. 28Please respect copyright.PENANA6NvxmiIZmP
"Mom referred to it as a slambook."28Please respect copyright.PENANAbBIQcfUhYn
“Slambook? What, is this where all the bad girls ended up where your mom writes curses and nasty things about them?” Hayley said.
Yuri was horrified. “No. she didn’t do that kind of thing, never!” Yuri said. “My mom said this was pretty popular back then.” Yuri said, then perused the pages inside. “Look.” She said. 28Please respect copyright.PENANA2IFbP7FNnN
“JAPAN? Just always pray at night? What- is this some kind of made up acronym? "Please tell me yes, because I can't fathom this kind of cringey stuff loops around the literature.28Please respect copyright.PENANAcRE1oI7N8g
Yuri burst out laughing. “I know, right? I honestly don’t know what kind of of generation my mom belonged to. However, she asserted that when compared to our generation, hers has been the most interesting and enjoyable.
“I doubt that,” Raeven said and was full of conviction. She will never be subjected to this cringe-worth trend ever. 28Please respect copyright.PENANAza8qg5YZ8o
“Okay, enough with that. Look at what I found.” Hayley said.28Please respect copyright.PENANAkKGhfWrCLn
The girls looked at Hayley, who was a little farther back, leaning against a tall cabinet, browsing in a small collection of thin-looking books. She is also reading a similar book.
Yuri almost cried and dash her way to Hayley. But she was not fast enough to snatch whatever was in Hayley’s hand.28Please respect copyright.PENANA1NE1CeDLeR
“Hey, give that back!” Yuri was already screaming, feeling embarrassed.
Raeven and Angel came closer and peered at what Hayley was reading. Raeven scowled at the book, and Angel cupped her hand in her mouth, feeling scandalized. 28Please respect copyright.PENANASQ8hltCSOG
Hayley replied with her trademark wide grin, "Boy Love comics." She's making fun of Yuri. And Yuri screamed bloody murder.28Please respect copyright.PENANACz1JH3qFng
As soon as the excitement subsided, Yuri claimed that it was just pure curiosity, but that wasn't the end of it when Hayley took out another book from Yuri's collection. Yuri's namesake genre.
Hayley put back the comics. She was now determined. “Come on, girls. This unripe soul here needs some stimulation for it to ripen.”28Please respect copyright.PENANAwTHfMxaozJ
Raeven raised one eyebrow. “And that is?”28Please respect copyright.PENANAEOKb3UpNZB
Hayley grinned as she made her way to the door to leave. She remarked, chuckling, "Of course, she needs to experience being surrounded by handsome boys."28Please respect copyright.PENANATKhnJPnPtQ
Angel felt scandalized yet again.28Please respect copyright.PENANAcSjoa1lwBQ
