I never had the opportunity to talk too much in my past relationship when it comes to serious topics, I had always been treated like some ignorant bitch who can’t do relationships. It was one of my insecurities back then, I hated how my opinions weren’t heard by the girl I once loved. But now, sitting on Amelia’s lap in our maroon colored sofa that smelled like it was sprayed with rose extract as she was listening to my story made me realize that I wasn’t ignorant, it was just that I was trying to talk to someone before who doesn’t want to listen to me.
“Rei was my ex. I don’t know how she was able to transfer here, but I swear what you saw there a while ago meant nothing! I wasn’t doing any nasty thing behind your back, I would never do that to you,” I told her, my sincerity pouring, because I know for myself that when I love someone, I don’t look for other people, and would only focus on the person I love. My mum d
I woke up with Amelia’s arms wrapped around my waist. I smiled at the sight of her sleeping face, she looked so adorable and I badly wanted to pinch her cheeks since it was squished in the pillow, making it appear bigger. I love mornings like this, and as much as I wanted to stay, I knew I couldn’t.Before falling asleep last night, Jada texted our group chat, informing us to go to their room since we’ll be talking about the possible suspect for Rei’s cousin. I wanted to tell them that I don’t want to go since it’s a Saturday, but of course I could never decline or say no. Ever since I said that I would be in this group, the day I agreed, I knew it had become my responsibility. And if my mum ever found out about it, and if she were in my shoes right now, I knew she would always choose the school over her bed where her lover is laying down.
“Where are you going?!” I yelled, but Sea seems like in her own world, and looks like she doesn’t want to answer my question. I wanted to tell her to stop moving away from our school but she was so busy crying that it felt like she could hear nothing but her sobs.I went after her, and I saw how she was shocked when I grabbed her arm and pulled her to a place where there was shade since it was already summer here, and the sun was shining so brightly, a contrast to Sea’s gloomy mood.“Why are you here? You should get back there. Everything’s fine there now, nobody will ever hurt you there anymore,” she told me, a sad smile appearing in her lips, but it soon vanished because she started crying again, and this time, she covered her face so I wouldn’t be able to see her crying.
“No sleeping during meetings!” I heard Jada yelling at me, so I just said I was sorry, and before I knew it, my mind was flying away again.I knew for a fact that when Jada wore her glasses, I wouldn’t be able to go back to my room where Amelia might possibly be waiting for me, still in her nightgown, and she might also be sipping from her daily morning coffee that is so strong I wished to have never tasted it.I messaged her, saying that I am in an emergency meeting with friends, and she just replied with a “okay” and a heart emoji. I sure hoped that it was really okay for her, because I don’t want her to feel that I’m neglecting her. That was far from what I’m doing. All my mind could even think about is her, all I want to do right now is run away from this room and go back to her and give her a hug and ki
‘How much do I know about my girlfriend?’ That was the question that kept on repeating inside my head. I always knew Amelia from what she wanted me to see, but I never totally knew her. It’s like even though we kissed and are even in a relationship, it still felt as if she’s a mystery. A big one. It made me wonder why she hadn’t really opened up to me. I know I shouldn’t force her, but we would always remind each other that we would be rant buddies, but it has always been me who she would listen to, and when I ask her how her day went, she would immediately change the topic, as if talking about it would make her go mad.“What are you trying to hide from me?” I whispered as I looked outside the window. The class is just about to start, and despite wanting to sleep some more, I was glad it was now Monday. Saturday
“The best secrets are the most twisted.”― Sara Shepard, TwistedAfter reading that quote from one of the books we have to read for our Literature class, I couldn’t help but remember Amelia. Of course, I would think of her. She was the biggest mystery I have in my life right now aside from Sea. I wanted to get to know her better. I actually feel guilty because it seems like I was the one who hasn't really done anything to make her share more about herself. Was I too self centered that I wasn’t able to know more about my lover?But at the same time, I was scared. What if the things I found out wouldn’t be what I expected it to be? What if Amelia wasn’t the perfect student everybody thought of her? What if she wasn’t really the best daughter that has ever existed in our town that her family brags about? What do I
The moment I saw her files, I knew that the girl I love is someone I don’t have much information about. Everything is not what it seems, just like what Rei said. I was scared because I might really agree with Rei this time, and that was the last thing I wanted to do right now. I was also scared not only of Amelia, but also the other students here. It felt as if I trusted them so easily. It felt as if I was a rat caught in a mouse trap because of what I did. And it seems like Rei was the only I could trust in situations like these because she was familiar, she was an old friend back home. I know her, and I know she’s nice… but the other students here? I don’t even know if their intentions are pure or not.“A penny for your thought?”I looked to my side, and saw that Rei was now seated beside me. I would hav
Hiding inside the school’s abandoned building wasn’t as scary as what the stories make it up to be. They said that there were some ghosts who are still lingering around here, and scares the shit out of students. That’s why this building was long forgotten. I’m currently on the rooftop, looking at the football field where students are hanging out.“Here you are!” I heard someone from behind me say, making me glance back. I wasn’t surprised when I saw who it was. Jada. I don’t know what’s with her, but she sure does know where we would always go.“Leave me alone,” I whispered, not looking back and just staring at the football field. Everything feels so small when you’re up here. It makes me want to go back down because it’s kinda scary to be here.
“You don’t know everything…” I whispered, making Jada look at me with her brows furrowed. But instead of explaining, I ran out from the rooftop, but as I was running down the stairs I suddenly lost balance, making me fall. I felt it… how pain embraced me when I was falling and how numbness struck when a loud thud was heard, meaning my family was finally down the stairs. I couldn’t move, everything hurts. I closed my eyes, and the last thing I heard was Jada’s scream.It was dark. I couldn’t see anything. Pitch black. Nothingness. The one I hated most is when I can’t see anything. But I suddenly heard a sound, so I looked around me, and as if there was magic, I was in front of our school again.I held on to my head as I closed my eyes, getting a bit frustrated because I suddenly knew this was a dream based
