I am currently standing inside our condo’s balcony while appreciating the city lights in the background. Tall buildings are being lit up as early as five in the afternoon, and now that it’s seven almost eight already, it became more beautiful, plus the cars from below is wonderful to look out.
“I don’t know but your smile sometimes creeps me out.”
I look at my right and saw Everleigh standing with me. Both of her hands are hugging herself while also appreciating the view in front. It’s cold anyway, and I wonder why. We are heading to March but the breeze is still cold as if it’s the month of December.
“I was not smiling.” I said after a few seconds.
Leigh look at me so I return back her stares until she gave me a knowing look then started poking me on my side. “You did something rubbish?”
A little chuckle came up from me before shoving her hand away. “Stop it, I did not.”
Everyone started to murmur around the place as Mister Dawson entered the room. His hair is fine and well-comb and from the looks of him, he absolutely looks like fresh and expensive.“Your mouth.” I heard someone spoke from my right.Later did I know, it’s Nathan and I just roll my eyes at him. “Woah, woah, bad mood?”“Talk with Nicollete instead. Don’t talk to me.” I murmured then look back in front to watch Msietr Dawson move his things on top of the table. He arranged his thing first before looking up in thr class, hands both inside his pants now. “Good morning everyone. I notice that some of your blockmates already sent me their files for their Activity. So as you have notice, the passage is all about William Shakespeare this time.” He grab his book from his table before turning raound to face the white board—writing something on it.“The bard.” He said out a loud the
“M-Mister Dawson…” I called him when I got so surprised seeing him this close. I even almost hit him with the door but he really is smart enough to know the distance in between him and the moving wooden door.I blink my eyes twice when he turns around, leaving me on the same spot. I cleared my throat this time, trying my best not to stutter in front of him. Mister Dawson headed back on his table before he grabs a pile of papers from one of his shelves just a meter away from his table.“Alaric and I would just want to raise a concern about our Thesis topic—““I did not saw your Literary Analysis yet but you are already asking me about your Thesis.”I purse my lips. Here he goes again. Sometimes, talking with this Professor is such a pain in the ass and I can barely survives his attitude knowing that I am a bit frustrated as well.“We are already finalizing about it, Mister. Alaric talked a
Mansrael drove away from the city and I could not hide the excitement that lingers inside me. The familiar aura of green trees, beach and mountains as we come close to the same place wheere we always get wasted in the air is near. It took us maybe almost thirty minutes before we finally went out from the city and the car windows now are open—as we feel the sunlight kissing down our skin.“Bro, almost there.” Rael murmured with a grin on his face. I let my head out in the window to hug the wind. My hair automatically flew away, some covers my face but I remained laughing as Rael keeps laughing inside too.“F*ck life!” I screamed on top of my lungs, now spreading both of my arms on the air. I look at the beach side and the waves are roughly crashing down on the shore maybe because of the breeze on this place. Later on, I found myself closing both of my eyes while facing my face up in the sun, letting the sunlight kiss my skin.&
I look at Rael when he asked me that question. He is still looking in front and not giving me the attention but I know, he is waiting for my reply. With a force smile on my lips, I look down while playing the canned soda on my hands. “I love him so much, do you think I’ll get over him that soon?”Rael chuckled in a little way before leaning back with both of his hands. “Love sh*ts sucks.” He muttered this time before shaking his head from left to right.I smiled a little at him before grabbing his beanie from his head and wear it on me. “Yeah. I fell in love, my bad.” I murmured as I shrug my shoulders.He shake his leg this time while still looking in front of us until his phone rung, making the both of us look behind where the front seat is.“Wait,” he stated before walking at the front seat. “Yo, Bro!” He greeted and just by the way he greeted the caller, I know who he is talking w
I move my eyes as soon as the grip tightens on my wrist and I feel too stunned to speak. I wanted to look at Elric but Mister Dawson’s eyes is telling me something—that for the first time, I can read him though his eyes. His lips are purse together and he is staring straight at me while I am busy feeling all the gazes that are sending us to an obvious commotion after this scenario.Remembering that he is a Professor, I slowly grab my hands back from his hold but he his grip tightens even more, making me want to gasp and tell him to let go.“Excuse me,” Elric muttered before he crossed in the middle of Mister Dawson and I, making the latter’s grip loosen up. “I am grabbing my ball.” Elric then added before raising the ball in front of us before his gaze drop to mine from Mister Dawson.I could not seriously feel my feet on the ground but one thing is for sure, we will be seriously the talk of town later in the university
The moment I hung the squared-thing on the rack, I went to the kitchen where Leigh is and she is now on her phone, grinning. I give glance to the glass window on the kitchen to check if it is still raining outside and it is.“How long will this rain pour?” I murmured as I pour down on my glass with water.“Don’t expect for it to slow down so soon. The forecast says there is a typhoon landing tonight.”I nod my head. “Did you check the heater if it is okay? We might be needing it tonight.”Everleigh nod her head this time before moving the jar of nutella towards my side. “Eat. I still got another jar inside the cabinet.”I make face this time. “You only give me such thing if you have many stocks, thanks anyway.”She hissed and point me using her spoon. “Just be thankful that I offered you some, you ungrateful, bitvh.”I chuckle upon the mention of the w
“Don’t answer it.”I remained staring on my phone screen after Leigh told me not to answer Nathan’s call. She is now back on the kitchen maybe eating her nutella once again to relieve her stress while I am still on the living room as I sit on the couch.“These men…” I annoyingly murmured before putting my phone down on the couch before following my best friend inside the kitchen. Like what I expected, she is with her nutella once again and the crease on her forehead is still visible as if her frustration is still not leaving her mood.I took a piece of pancake from the plate and grab her nutella jar from her hold to varnish some on my food. “You look more annoyed for than I.” I stated without giving her any glance.I felt her looking at me but I remained looking down on my food until she hissed. “I just hate how they can make us worried that way and then we’ll find out that they are having
I look on my left when I heard footsteps coming into my direction. I suddenly feel off on seeing another person at this hour since it is still seven in the morning and I still haven’t fix m y face—hoping to do it right here.My legs took a step back, wanting to hide from the bush and hoping that the person going here will be staying in the other side. I bit my lower lip as I keep my mouth shut until few seconds after, I saw Alaric going down on the bleachers even though it is wet from the rain last night.I silently gulp the lump inside my throat upon seeing him half-naked while carrying his football shoes on the ground. He has this wet look all over his body and is obviously juts got out from his morning routine. I feel a little anxious inside. Should I approach him or act like I did not notice him? But why can’t he get dressed first anyway? I thought inside.I peak on him one more time and wanted to regret from doing so when he stand close to
