AUGUST
“You can do this!” I tried convincing myself that everything’s going to be alright despite the fact that I have no assurance of that. I’m very well aware of the fact that anything can happen under the afternoon sun, especially when you are alone with the school’s number one bully.This is probably the most terrible idea that I have come up with and there’s a high chance that this is going to fuck me up in the face. Ambrose might potentially kill me for real and there’s a lot of factors to consider. First thing, he hated me to the bones. It is very much blatant that he has a lot of anger issues, he has all the arsenal in his pocket and he can easily dish out all of this bottled up anger all on me. Secondly, he’s very much capable of breaking my bones to pieces if he decides to. I believe I haven’t seen Ambrose’s true demon form that’s delicately wrapped in pure wrath. If he&r
AUGUST“What are you doing?” I asked even though I already know the clearest answer to that stupid query. He just got naked and there’s a river flowing right in front of us.Perhaps, this is just my crappy attempt at starting this agreed upon conversation with him. I know the incoming conversation that we are about to have will be interesting but I just want to warm things up. Ambrose appeared to be calm here and he even said that himself, but I still have the feeling that he might just pop off at any given time. I don’t know him that much and I’m sure as hell that I’m taking a few precautions to prevent something that I don’t want to happen. I want to make sure that I make him feel that it’s okay to have a conversation with me even though he doesn’t know how to talk.Ambrose doesn’t seem to have the slightest problem getting naked
AUGUST“Is that the bridge?” My eyes began to look at the serene scenery the moment we reached the top plateau of the boulder. I can see the curves of the river flowing quietly down to which I saw the top of the Mary Heights bridge. I can’t see the whole bridge because it’s covered by the lush branches and leaves but I recognized the top steel bars that completes it.“Yeah,” Ambrose nodded and sat down while I stayed standing as I laid my sight observing the vicinity.I looked down the river and noticed that the water current is strictly controlled by a barrier of rocks equally resembling a dam. This is why the water in this part doesn’t have that rapid current that could potentially pull you and restrict you from actually swimming. The water was clear as crystal given the bright afternoon sunlight. It’s almost as if I’m looking down at a huge magnifying glass or something. I can see all
AMBROSEI don’t know what went through my mind that I dragged August here to my secret spot. I have never brought anyone here before even Phil and the gang doesn’t know about the existence of this beautiful place. I don’t really have a plan to have a conversation with August but hearing him asking me sounded very much inviting. I also have some questions that I want to be answered and this is probably the only time that I’ll get this chance.“Why did you kiss me?” August asked out of the blue and somehow it threw me off the grid. I knew he wanted to talk to me and I haven’t had the time to ask myself why did I even said yes to him in the first place. His words echoed inside my head as I felt my chest pump faster.“I don’t know.” I uttered in response. I did expect this specific question to pop sometime but I was a bit surprised that it came sooner that I thought. Despite of that, I
AMBROSEIt is honestly hard to pretend not to know the way towards August’s house. I’ve already followed him all the way to his house once and my good sense of direction still remembered the way unsurprisingly. My elaborate act of innocence seemed to be playing out well with August.“Just drive straight this road then turn to Marianna Street,” August pointed forward right after we passed the bridge.“Okay,” I nodded.He was riding behind me and although he’s confident enough not to grab on my torso to support his balance, it’s quite enough for me that I can still feel his body right next to mine. This might be gay, whatever they might call it, but I’m starting to like this set up. The wind whipped right straight to my face as I stepped on the gas even harder. August must be lucky that he was the one wearing my helmet instead of me but I am not complaining at all.I felt my c
AUGUSTThey say the universe is full of wonderful things that are hard to explain. There’s this famous question of what lies across the universe? There’s also this question of what lies beneath the unexplored vastness of the ocean? There are even these mad spirits and paranormal occurrences all across the world that science have much difficulties of explaining. And then there’s me. I can’t explain what I’m currently feeling right now.I am standing stiff like a lonely scarecrow at the outer layer of the cornfields as I watched Ambrose slowly disappear out of sight. Ambrose just drove away without leaving me something to look forward to. Why am I even thinking that?I might have to put the blame all on me for that certain action. I don’t really want to invite him inside our house purely based of the fact that we are still technically strangers in so
AUGUST I was gradually growing nervous to meet Rachel and her clique during our lunch break. But more than that, I was starting to grow mad about the shocking things that I have learned today. It has come to my attention that apparently we are a couple now. I don’t know if the whole school have already heard about this theatric but Alyssa’s group have caught it. That’s probably enough for me to come up to this conclusion that a lot people have heard of this bullshit. Me and Rachel, a couple? That is extremely wild to believe considering that fact that there’s really nothing going on. I know I have been talking with Rachel and we have been public about our flirting and all those couple stuff but this is a surprising turn of events. Things are moving faster and faster that I am not able to keep up with everything that’s going on around me. I have a feeling that this is not a simple rumor that was spr
AUGUSTI feel like I’ve just jumped towards the open ocean full of hungry sharks and I don’t even know how to swim. Nicole just announced to the whole world that me and Rachel are a couple and things have just turned crazier. She didn’t asked permission and just ran her mouth without even thinking about the possible ruckus that it will create. Almost everybody who doesn’t know about it gasped like it’s some kind of a big news. Some of the people who have heard it were still gagged but that’s not even a surprise at all. And then my relationship with Ambrose just had a drastic turn. This is going to be one hell of a rollercoaster ride.This isn’t what I meant when I want my high school experience to be exciting and worth remembering. This is a reach but this is the reality that I have to face. I’m just single yesterday and now I already have a freaking girlfriend. T
AUGUSTThe star-crossed lovers. That phrase might sound really superficial and whimsical at the very same time. I would even call it an overstatement but that’s what people call Rachel and me now. Everybody treats us almost as if we were that one couple in almost every romantic movie that has gone through a series of unwanted and terrible circumstances and still being destined to meet in the end. Everyone at school were palpably hyped up about my relationship with Rachel that it has gotten to a point that we are about to have a fan club. This was all, in full honesty, just an over exaggeration purely because of the fact that we are basically a normal couple.A month has already gone and passed and my relationship with Rachel is smoothly sailing across the ocean. We haven’t really had a major fight that’s worthy gossiping for except for our constant bickering about inconsequential stuff. Perhap
