Chapter 18.4: A Secret Affair
AUGUST
Did I just forgot that I still have a girlfriend?
The question seemed to drill a massive hole inside my head leading me towards this deep and unnerving sink hole that’s called panic. I’m so much caught up with Ambrose’s intriguing attention that I literally forgot about Rachel’s existence. I still have a girlfriend to check upon and that woman’s crazily obsessed with me. I forgot that I’m still playing the straight dude, for Pete’s sake.
I only went to the dining table with my parents for about half an hour, not even close to that, and I already missed this much calls. I stared at the twelve calls that I missed and just by looking at the red text, it appeared like it’s going to swallow me alive. Those twelve missed calls could even mean a ton of things. It could mean that Rachel’s probably upset with me and now I’m starting

AUGUSTI’m not so sure as to why Ambrose had to write a note in a piece of paper when he could’ve easily sent me a text message. It’s the most digital and the easiest way rather than risking things just to drop that note under the bush. I don’t know what’s going on inside that head of his but I guess passing notes in secrecy felt even more romantic than just plainly sending a text message.The day rolled out pretty casual with me still playing the royal role of being Rachel’s picture perfect boyfriend. I don’t even know why I’m still doing this wild theatrical act when I don’t even need the protection anymore. Ambrose doesn’t have this hatred and anger for me anymore. He’s no longer yearning to beat the shit out of me. Perhaps it’s the popularity that I’m still gunning for and Rachel’s not failing at letting the light shining on

AUGUST“Why did you take me to this place just now?” I asked as walked carefully towards the spot where Ambrose had settled down. He was already pulling out the chips that we bought downtown out of the plastic bag.“I don’t know. It’s probably because we weren’t this close before.” He replied almost casually as I sat down right beside him.The breeze was blowing just cool enough that’s it’s almost refreshing. I sniffed the fresh air like I’ve been longing for it and it did not disappoint but rather fulfilled my expectations. I suddenly remembered the lack of fresh air back in Highmont and just by thinking about it makes me feel suffocated.I reached for the bottle of mountain dew and popped it open before eventually pouring some of it down to my throat.“Oh yeah, because we were fighting like we ar

AMBROSEThinking that my life would change and become a little bit better and a little less boring right after confessing my true feelings towards August was too much to imagine. Yes, my life became a little less boring completely because of the fact that we have to hide from the public eye just to spend our time together. But a little bit better was an ambiguous phrase and I’m still waiting for that shit to happen.My daily routine never changed except now, there was the thrill of excitement clinging on to me like a leech. I get up in the morning and go to school, typical high school stuff. But with the addition of wanting to see August everyday made my days a lot more interesting than it was before. I’m sure we are both well aware of the reality that we kept on stealing glances right at each other and it’s making us both conscious of our every move. It is a known fact that I, Ambrose Haylock

AMBROSE“Why are you sitting there at my spot?” Starting to sound annoying, Phil looked me with such tension that I’ve never seen of him in the last few years of our friendship. It was the same tension that had carried on from what happened between us earlier this morning. Phil was sitting at the spot where I used to sit and I want that exact spot because it’s the spot that’s letting me get a clear shot view of August.“My bad.” Phil uttered in absolute defeat. He quickly moved to the opposite part of the table and I can clearly tell he’s trying to keep his cool down to a sensible level.I put down my tray of food and sat down subconsciously moving my sight towards the direction of August’s table. Lunch break was always the hardest for me and it’s been quite few days that I’ve been the one on the outer side of the picture. I looked at Rach

AMBROSEThe graceful pang of disappointment got me chained in its crippling prison for the rest of the night. I had to ride my way home thinking that I’m going to be alone and messed up once again. It was even more asphyxiating to think that August will be having fun with his girlfriend and I’m the one being left and forgotten behind. It’s quite funny that my mind brought that up when I’m always the one left and forgotten behind. I’ve always that one kid who everyone knew but no one cared about. I’ve always been that one person who was always goes home alone because no one wants to do fun things with him. I’ve always been that, and I thought with the arrival of August into my life would tweak things to a better place, I thought wrong. Maybe Phil was right all along. I’ve softened up and for what?The power that I just felt earlier was suddenly watered down in just

AMBROSEDriving out of town was the first thing that came out of my mouth. I guess that’s because I’ve been wanting to go on a ride to the next town and back with the person that I like. I have tried riding out of town before and although it’s quite an adventure, it still felt lonely when you’re on your own. Getting out of town doesn’t sound much of a romantic date that I could offer, unlike Rachel and all her power, but the feeling of having someone you like just grabbing ahold of your waist as you cover tracks was one of the best feeling ever. That feeling when combined with the few beautiful stops that we might stumble through would be considered as romantic to me. I’m sure August would feel that same feeling too once we get out of this town.“That sounds exciting,” August chirped but I noticed the short pause following his remark. “But I don’t thin

AMBROSE The day ended very much early and it had left me with nowhere else to go. I probably have a good five or six hours of spare time before going to that house party that August had mentioned last night. I don’t quite know how would I spend that much of free time when there’s basically nothing to do here in this suburban town. There’s nothing much except for the presence of breathtaking nature. I thought of going out to my secret spot at river and go swimming alone like I used to. I walked out of the room and the hallway was flooded with buzzing people. Everyone appeared to be hyperactive and the noise was just thunderous enough that it could crash the building. Most of them are excited for the weekend, that’s the only reason as to why the upstream energy. If this was on a Tuesday or a Wednesday, everyone’s still probably wearing their saggy faces. However, the lingering knowledge that it’s Friday makes their expression a lo

AMBROSE“Shaun! Shaun! Shaun!”Some of the spectators began cheering this name and I immediately knew Shaun’s the name of Irvin’s opponent. The fight began the moment the referee stepped out of the middle and I can clearly see the advantage that Shaun had over Irvin. The fact that he’s taller and buffer was already enough for me to put my coins on his head. I was just looking at both of them and I instantly know Irvin would lose this. They were both on their fighting stance with Irvin imitating a boxers’ stance while Shaun on the other hand was just standing in his place waiting for Irvin to strike first. Irvin might be brave and I have to commend him for that. Screaming like a kid, Irvin lunges towards Shaun hoping to tackle him but Shaun managed to stop him with both of his hands.The loud cheering continued as I stood with both of my hands crossed over my chest.
