The bad memories often come back to you in your nightmares, disturbing the once peaceful moments of life.I was always a firm believer of love.Growing up, mom and dad had loved me, pampering my little self to such extent that it was impossible to live without them. Once, I tried to lock myself in the room all angry just because mama hadn’t bought me my favorite chocolate, but then daddy came running with a bag full of sweets and candies.Those days were the best days. No sadness, nothing. As time passed slowly, everything crumbled down, leaving me in utter emptiness.That day when he brought me to visit my dad, the naive girl within me thought he was going to let us live but I was wrong.Extremely wrong.He killed daddy infront of my eyes, slowly yet with immense torture. With daddy, he killed my soul as well. “Celestina?”Stay with me. The film was on repeat, cruelly. His dead gaze had erased me from this numb world. There was nothing I could do. Only to blame myself.The biggest

Destiny can sometimes be cruel. Very cruel.“Another one.”The guy infront me sighed as he rubbed the counter with the cloth. “Are you sure?”Nodding, I slid the glass towards him. “Stronger this time.” Shaking his head, he replied, “I’m afraid not. You’ve already drank twenty-two shots in a row.”Rubbing my temple, I looked at him in disbelief, “can't a human drink away their sorrows?”“You’re underage.”“And suddenly everyone dancing and drinking here---is at legal age.” Scoffing, I hopped off the chair.Digging through my purse, I roughly placed the cash on the counter. “Thanks for the service. Hopefully I never come here again.”Without hearing his answer, I stumbled out of the club.The off-shoulder tightened thigh length fabric around my body made it difficult for me too breathe.“Such a hottie.”Wiping off the sweat, I walked pass the group of drunken boys. “Hey baby, come here.” One of them said.Ignoring, I kept on moving until I was a few meters away from them.“Ignoring, da

Zachariah;Her eyes.Her slightest touch.Everything was intoxicating and addictive. My body yearned to be eaten up whole by her. She was a sweet yet sour candy who everyone wanted to swallow.It was wrong but it felt so right. That day when she had been conversing with those three guys from the other school, had sparked something within me. My hands ached to rip off there arms away from her. It was as if jealousy had consumed my insides.Was I that jealous? She was dangerously occupying my brain.The feel of her lips still lingered on mine. She was one of the dominant kind who wanted to have her way with everything. And I? I let her claim me like a piece of desperate human I was. Sighing, I took a bite of the chilli nugget burger.“-Zach are you even listening?”Tilting my head, I starred at Scarlett who had her both eyebrows arched at me in confusion. “Were you even listening to the rant?” She asked with a hint of anger to her tone.“Huh?”“Zach when are you gonna start acting li

“Tina. Long time no see.” Flora gave me a side hug. The dark bags under her eyes were more evident than usual. Humming, I nodded.It had actually been a while since I last had a talk with Flora. She was always busy with that jock who didn't care about her.She was just stuck in a toxic relationship.“How have you been?” she smiled weakly, the once usual shiny aura dulling with time.“Great. You?”“I’m.. okay.” She hesitantly spoke while fidgeting with her fingers. “I-” Sighing, she leaned back on the bench, closing her eyes. “-I’m sorry.”“I’m sorry f..for ignoring you. I’m sorry for not talking to you.”“Don't worry, Flora. No need to say sorry. You must have your reasons.” I replied, whilst staring at our class who busy playing basketball on the school grounds. “No. I am sorry. I’m such a shitty friend.”She grabbed my hand and placed it on her lap, her fingers intervened with mine. “Les, I’m really really sorry.”Sighing, I mimicked her position. “Are you okay? you look like you've

All of my life, I stayed away from people thinking if I ever got close to them, they would get hurt.Boy, I was right.Father died infront of my own eyes. His men that came to find me were shot dead in an unknown valley. Mother didn't care about me. Ares is god knows where or maybe dead?I hissed under my breath. “Ugh, nuisance.”“Got something to say, Miss Vidal? mind telling the whole class?” Our lab instructor cocked an eyebrow at me. Giving him a forced grin, I shook my head, “just thinking that you could look even more decent if you'd stop wearing those huge sponge bob specs.”Instantly the whole class erupted into laughter whilst I could see a trail of red steam coming out of his ears. “Out, Vidal.”“Oh please. I’ve heard this sentence a millions time. Try something new and I’ll gladly leave.” Leaning back, I checked out my fresh flowery manicure that was done by Flora herself, a few hours earlier.“Should I call your mother?” he gritted out as he adjusted those hideous specs. “

“Be at my home--sharp at four for the project and tutoring sessions.” My eyes scanned the sentence over and over again, until an alarming bell rang over my head. Fuck I was failing and I wouldn't be able to graduate at this rate. “Wanna head for the club after our preparatory class?” Flora asked as she popped another fry in her mouth. “Tsk, cant. Have plans today.” I replied with a huff, showing her the screen of the phone.“Jesus. You’re actually failing. Better do something about it.” She made a weird face and went back to reading the textbook.The classes ended in a blur and now was the time to leave for home.“Bye Les, see you tomorrow.” Flora waved at me as she ran off to the cheerleaders. “Bye.” I yelled back and made my way towards the parking lot.Getting in the car, I started the engine and raced towards his house.It was almost four thirty and I had no better things to do. These past days my panic attacks and nightmares were quiet frequent. I don't know why but the people

Few hours had passed by.At first Zachariah showed me that he had completed half of the project without me knowing, ofcourse.His notes were detailed and the descriptions of the thesis was extra.Then his mom had came by to pass us some snacks as we studied and surprisingly, I learned about a few topics but Maths was something I couldn't grasp my hands on.For the past few minutes I was stuck on the very same question he had just taught me how to solve it moments ago. My brain being the slowest couldn't understand it at all.A groan left my mouth as I banged my head against the table, “Stupid Maths. Who even fucking invented this piece of gross numbers.”A chuckle brought me back from my depressed trance. Lifting my head up, I saw Zachariah looking at me from under his glasses with an amused expression.An open book resting inbetween his hands.“Having trouble?”“What does it look like then? fun?” Grumbling, my eyes flickered back on the paper. The question making my patience slip awa

A wave of nervousness flashed in my body.His expression were twisted in a weird way making my stomach churn in anxiety. Did I get them all wrong? am I that stupid? Shifting in my position back and forth, I chewed on my lower lip. “Um..”“Quiet for a second.” His words instantly made me shut up.After a few minutes, which seemed to be hours, he finally placed the sheet of the paper down infront of him. His face blank and expressionless.Oh boy. I did disappoint him. “Did I.. fail?” I asked vulnerably, my voice just above a whisper.Sliding the paper towards me, I abruptly placed my hand on the paper, not liking the idea of glancing at a big fat zero.His eyebrow arched, silently questioning why I was being like this. But what can an anxiety filled girl do? she can't see the disappointment in their orbs, specially his.“Let go. And look at your paper.” He stated, gripping the corner of the paper and yanking it away from my hold.Shaking my head vigorously, I turned around and crossed

“The ocean?”Zachariah hummed, looking away. Red tint covering the whole area of his cheeks.We both had left the basement since it was getting a bit hotter with time. Right now, we were seated on the same bean bags but on a different floor. The floor of Zachariah's bedroom. “Why?”“Uh, I don’t know. I have always loved the fresh sea breeze.”“Oh? Really? Well for some reason the color of eyes reminds me of the sea and the greenery within in it.” I blurted out with a small smirk latched on my face. His head turned towards me, wide eyed. “Eh, stop exaggerating.”“I’m quite serious though.” I shrugged, giving him a playful glare.He shook his head and mumbled, “but some people say that I have weird and scary eyes who lure people away.”A gasp left my mouth. “What-?! no way. Who the fuck said such thing?”“N-No one.” He sighed and stood up.His feet led him to the attached balcony.“Zar, you can't let people talk to you like that.” I scoffed whilst mimicking his actions.I walked and st

"I still think this is a bad idea.""Shut your mouth for once, okay?" I huffed as I went through his weird stuffed closet. "I swear Celestina, this is not good." He sighed, leaning against the door with his arms wrapped on his chest.I tsked, ignoring him for the twentieth time."Shush."From the past half an hour I was trying to find something elegant yet attractive at the same time but his wardrobe was filled with simple and cute clothes. Expected from a nerd. "Don't you have something presentable?" Tilting my head, I arched an eyebrow at him."Sorry for not being presentable." He mocked back mimicking my exact same expression."Oh boy this won't do. You need exposure and these pieces are getting in the way." I stated, getting up. Turning around, I exited his walk in closet with him following me behind. Tapping my chin, I thought for a better idea."You have too many bright colors." Diverting my eyes to his body, I carefully examined his aura."Black, dark grey and white would defi
