Claudia quickly stopped her father. "It's okay if Thalia doesn't want to eat. I'll make her a sandwich or something if she gets hungry later. She's under a lot of study pressure right now and might not have much of an appetite."
Seeing her sister stepping in to stop their father, Thalia figured he would not press the issue further. She left the dining table and headed to her room, but she could still hear Henry nagging.
"Your exam is coming up too, right? I don't see you being as stressed as her. You always finish the meals I prepare for you, unlike her. She's so picky with food."
"Alright, Dad, stop nagging. You work so hard to take care of us, so you should eat more yourself," Claudia chimed in.
"If only Thalia were as sensible as you, I wouldn't have to work so hard..."
Thalia was going over her books, but she could not focus on a single word. Her mind was consumed with thoughts of Lucas.
'Lucas. What a beautiful name, just as I'd imagined. Only a name like that could match his aloof and noble demeanor. Oh, Lucas, how can I see you again? Would you still remember me?' thought Thalia.
…
The next day was the weekend, and although Claudia did not have any plans, she suddenly changed her clothes and said she needed to go to school for an impromptu rehearsal.
"Thalia, you'll have to heat your own lunch. There's been a sudden issue with the school's rehearsal, so they've asked us to go for an impromptu rehearsal. It might cause major problems on the day of the competition if we don't go," she explained in a rush.
Thalia realized this was her chance and set down her pen.
"Claudia, I've never been to your school. Let me come with you and take a look. I want to see what a prestigious high school is like so that I might be more motivated to study well," said Thalia.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Day I Kissed An Older Man
This book is a good book, but it’s too short. I hope it has a part two👍🏾...
This book is getting boring now. I loved Jeremy, Corinne, Sonny and Lucas. The story needs to end. or bring back more of Jeremy, etc....
I haven't skipped any chapter at all. Though the story is good, it keeps going back to base one. I think this has no ending at all and somehow after reading more than 2500 chapters it's kinda tiring already. They have drained all the thrills....
Great writing! I almost cried when Helen hit Melody! So sad! 😭 can’t wait to see how the relationship with her and Lucas develops though. So tired of the repetitive problems with different people....
Yikes my body tenses so much, my moods change as the scenes change. It leaves me wanting to continue reading....
my heart breaks for melody, so many ups and downs, i shed a few tears when lucas walked by melody carrying thalia, and melody stayed quiet while watching them leave. i find myself getting into character as if im one. i dont remember ever feeling like that in any other books. im thankful the 10 chapters/day. waiting for the next 10...
We have updated progress from 7 chapters/day to 10 chapters/day.<3...
i love grandma Beatrice, there needs to me more people like her in the world straight forward and to the point, no beating around the bush and worrying about offending anyone, why pretend to be someone your not....
looking forward to more chapters, The same thing is happening to Melody as what happened to Luna, if Luna was back maybe she would set Lucas straight, can't wait to see how Lucas handles the situations that will arrive. Poor Melody....
ya Lucas pay more attention to Melody lets see what happens waiting for more chapters thanks...
