Chapter 22.5: Love and Predicament
AUGUST
Monday rolled in almost pretty quickly and I don’t know what to feel about it’s sudden arrival. I was wishing for a longer weekend and maybe by then, I have made up my mind. I haven’t drafted any clear plan as of the moment and I’m not comfortable about scrambling and making naïve decisions. This is why Monday’s are the scariest day in a week apart from what most people call Friday the 13th.
I woke up the instant my alarm clock began beeping which was just my typical wake up call. I still have a few minutes to adjust and shake the drowsiness but I stayed on my bed for a while longer instead. The warmth of the blanket draped over my entire body seemed to be hugging me so tight that I don’t want to jump out of bed just yet. I just stared above the ceiling as I deeply pondered about the reality that I’m about to face in the next few hours. Rachel and I did not have the

AUGUSTDuring our first break, the first thing that came to my mind was to rejoin my usual clique. I went to my locker first to return my things and eventually walked towards the bench where we used to spend our break together and I instantly noticed I was the first one to show up. I sat at my usual spot and I thought I was just the early bird for the very first time. I waited for someone to show up and five minutes passed by so quickly but unfortunately no one’s planning to show up. There’s no Victoria, there’s no sign of Nicole, and most of all, there’s no appearance of Rachel.Where are these ladies? I thought, wondering about the girls’ whereabouts. This was the first time since I became part of their circle that they’re not showing up at our usual hanging spot. It’s weird that I was sitting very much alone and things became unbearably awkward that I was eventually forced to leav

AUGUSTI stood still at the farthest corner as I carefully observed the trio group of Rock, Mary and Gustav having their lunch at one of the benches. It was hard to think that I might have lost the connection that I’ve built with them during the first week of school and I’m all to blame for that loss. I was having this pinch of hesitation that they might not recognize, acknowledge or even remember me at all. It was such a short dilemma but I had to shake it all off of my shoulder because I don’t want to have my lunch alone when all eyes are on me. They all seemed to be having their lunch with such delight and it made my heart jump in pure joy. I don’t know why they have chosen to have their lunch here outside the school grounds instead of having it inside the cafeteria. Perhaps they have had enough of the business and the noise, or the constant separation of the cool kids and the invisible ones inside the cafeteria. Perha

AUGUSTMonday turned out to be so much interesting and even though I expected some bullshit to go down, I was absolutely caught off guard. I wasn’t expecting the part where Rachel was upset with the fact that I’m not making some moves towards her. I almost thought things are going to be fine between us and that I’m the one who’s not feeling okay with what happened and that I’m just going to be passive with it. I was dead ass wrong with that. After what happened at the party, I was so sure that Rachel was just wasted and that she just wants to some fun. Turns out that she had some negative feelings towards me. I realized that part of the reason why she forgot about my existence at the party was because she’s pissed off. How did I not see through that? I know I should be the one upset towards her for attacking me when clearly, I don’t to have sex with her.I found myself

AUGUSTComing out to Mary was definitely or more so, undoubtedly the best thing that happened to this miserable day. It was never the kind of coming out that I was expecting, however, I was more than glad and somehow relieved that I managed to let everything out with such ease. I was nervous for the most part; the nerves were tingling my spine but that’s only because I’m having a nostalgic moment. When I first came out back when I was still in Highmont, I was trembling as hell. The nervousness that I felt earlier was just like small ant bites compared to the extremities that I felt the first time.Mary was definitely the right to person for me to come out to and she took it very nicely so much to my expectation. And it’s not because of the fact that she came out to me too, but it was just her good heart. She might be snarky sometimes, a bit sarcastic too but she really has a good heart. I felt

AUGUSTI spent my free time today with Mary, Rock and Gustav and I’m starting to grasp this thought that I may be spending my free time with them for the rest of the week. And if things aren’t quickly combed between me and Rachel, it might extend for who knows how long. It doesn’t matter to me anyway, whether this thing ends up stretching to a month. I’m totally fine with Rachel ignoring me for the whole damn week if that’s how she wants things to be. Of course Nicole and Victoria would always support her and just like what I’m thinking, they are ready to flash their sharpened fangs and claws in order to protect their bff.The bottom line is that I don’t really have some plan on straightening my situation with Rachel. Even though she thinks this whole damn situation was all my fault, but in my eyes, I perfectly know that this was Rachel’s fault. I know my shortcomings that I sh

AMBROSEWhat do I need to know? That was the question that conquered my head and apparently, it burned like hell throughout the rest of the night.What truth could that be? I don’t even have any clue about what my mom’s talking about and it’s bugging more than I ever thought. I’m so confident about my spot and I thought my mom was in it for the biggest surprise of her entire miserable life and that she’d cry over it like how she always does. However, after what I’ve heard downstairs, there’s an unforeseen plot twist and I think I’m the one who’s up for a big surprise. That was something that I did not see coming. I was just feeling like a powerful person at the dinner table earlier knowing that my dad would finally tell my mom that he’s divorcing her and that I’d be free of her. The joy inside of me was relentless up until the moment that my pare

AMBROSEMy life just flipped big time right at the moment that I wasn’t expecting it. I thought this type of bullshit only happens in movies and in dramas but it turns out that it’s not that far from reality. The truth that I’ve just learned just clung onto me like a leech and it’s taking a while for me to shake it off. Well, it’s only been a few minutes since I learned it but it’s looking more like a long term thing.I stayed on the floor while hugging my knees as the scorching tears resumed to cascade down on my cheeks. I tweaked my hair in hopes of lessening the pain but it’s not effective as I thought it would be. I cried for a short while and then I just thought that I have to stop this display of utter weakness. Crying on my knees isn’t the Ambrose that I came to know and I just had to force myself to stop sobbing and be the big tough boy that everybody knows. Big boys do

AMBROSEIn my head, I was already trying to picture some things between me and August. I imagine myself still being out of words as always. I imagine him stepping onto his role of the interviewer and just be the one who keeps on making the conversation going. I imagine myself having to keep my cool with all of the kaleidoscope of butterflies fluttering back in forth in the pits of my stomach. I feel like August’s the only person that I have right now and yet I don’t have him by my side. The blame’s all on me being the asshole who doesn’t want to let him clarify and tell his side of the story. I was just thinking what’s going to happen if I actually see him today. What would I tell him? What would he tell me? Am I going to apologize for ignoring him? Or will he apologize for betraying me?The words that I typed seemed convincing. Moreover, I knew that August wants to talk to me so bad.&nb
