Chapter 102
10 DONUS
“So this is what you want to tell me? Lilac, the cat will eventually be out of the bag. So count your
blessings now.”
“Lulu, we’re classmates. You should know that Shawn is just a good friend of mine. We have a platonic
friendship. Also, I was supposed to tell Felix everything. But I changed my mind because it isn’t
something that will affect my relationship with him.
“Felix and I will be together in the future. No one can change that.”
Lilac’s shameless excuse rendered me speechless. If being platonic friends meant they could make out
or she could yank out Shawn’s shirt, then going to a love hotel must be a staycation too according to her
logic.
Talking to somebody like her was such a waste of time. “Save your explanation for Felix, Lilac. Yes, Felix will be yours in the future. No one can change that. I hope you’ll keep your promise and never make a
decision you regret.”
I got up to leave, not wanting to deal with her anymore. “Luna!”
I stopped in my tracks. “Yeah?”
“I’m spending Christmas with Felix this year.” Lilac bit her lip. She was trying to flaunt.
“Do I care?” I repeated myself in resignation. “Lilac, Felix and I are, and will forever be, acquaintances. Your lover boy is my neighbor. That’s all. Keep your jealousy in check and stop testing my limit. If you piss me off, I might accidentally say something to Felix.”
Jade later told me that Lilac’s face was beet red when I left. Colin also told me that Lilac and Felix had agreed to celebrate Christmas together after the argument.
That day, Lilac was removed from the party. She had a fierce argument with Felix, which was only resolved after Felix said she could celebrate Christmas with him.
However, Felix’s parents weren’t fond of Lilac and refused to let her stay over. They only changed their minds when Felix went on a hunger strike.
I told Mom the whole story and expressed my reluctance to spend Christmas with the Whites. It wasn’t because I was a coward or still had feelings for Felix. Lilac was a two–faced woman.
She didn’t have to be there physically to cause so much trouble for Felix’s family. Now imagine what

she’d be capable of doing when she was present. I felt bad for Aunt Mel.
And honestly, hanging out with Lilac made me want to puke. I didn’t want to regurgitate my Christmas dinner and let someone ruin such a merry and joyous annual occasion for me.
To reiterate. I did not hate Lilac because she was close to Felix but because of her personality. Period.
Mom then told me that she didn’t want to spend Christmas with the Whites either, but she needed an excuse. Dad, being the head of the family, came up with a brilliant idea and said we could visit Oceanum. Just like that, we booked three plane tickets to spend our Christmas in Oceanum.
