“WHY are you looking at me like that?" Lenos asked me with his eyebrows furrowed.
We were studying in the library together. Lenos volunteered to tutor me in Physics when I failed my midterm exam in that fucking subject. It was all my professor's fault. That woman was just good at shaming her students and never in teaching. From the start of semester, I wasn't able to learn a thing from that old hag.
Lenos and I were here in the library for almost an hour but I kept on getting distracted. Instead of focusing on the formula Lenos was teaching me, I just can't help but stare at his face.
I rested my palm on my chin. Then I smiled at him. “I just want to...”
He was wearing his glasses right now. And I coul
"THE important thing right now is that you are here in front of me… that I can see you everyday… that I can talk to you."Lenos' words continued to echo in me. I could still hear everything he said earlier."Huh? He would make it up with me? After what, ten years? Ha! The nerve of that guy." I kept on ranting as I kept on walking ahead.After Lenos' speech, I left him and walked out of the campus. I don't want to see him. I couldn't bear to see him right now.Because of everything he said earlier, all those feelings and memories that I buried deep down in me suddenly came back and crashed me like a tidal wave.I didn't know how long I was wa
“I ALSO paid for this seat. You can't sit here.” Caren stopped one of her classmates who was about to sit beside her.Today was the day of Caren's camping. We were already seated on the bus assigned to her class. I had no choice but to tag along with her.“So, this seat is reserved for me?” I asked Caren, a satisfied smirk on my face. "I'm touched."“Shut up. I just don't want someone to hear me while I'm talking to you," she answered defensively. “I didn’t do it for you." She rolled her eyes and looked at the window. “This whole camping idea is so boring.”“Good morning, class.”What the fuck
"I HATE it here! Why did they have to confiscate our phones?!"Caren irritatingly kicked the dry leaves in front of her. She was in a bad mood after Lenos confiscated her phone before we got off the bus.It took us two hours before we arrived at our drop off point. From there, we hiked for almost an hour until we reached the camping site."Everyone, gather around here."Caren and I both looked at the student speaking in front. He was holding a mini-megaphone. Caren told me that guy is their student leader."We are not just gathered here to contribute to saving the environment, we are also here to enjoy the beauty of our mother nature while bonding with our co-students…"
"CAREN, what are you doing?" Caren stopped from kicking the leaves on the ground when she heard her name being called. We both turned to where the voice came from. A woman a few meters away from us was looking at Caren with a frown on her face. If I remember correctly, that woman is her class adviser. "Go with your classmates, Caren," the teacher said to her. "Help them." I looked at where Caren's classmates were. Everyone was busy building tents. Even the nerd—Marcus, was helping his classmates. Caren was the only one who wasn't doing anything. Caren rolled her eyes and was forced to join her classmates. "Fuck this stupid camp." Ever since her phone was taken away from her, Caren's mood got
“FUCK this signal! What kind of place is this?"I heard Caren say as she kept on swaying her phone to the air. I don’t even know how she got her phone back."We're in the middle of the mountain. Of course, you won't find any network connection here."It was already past dinner time. I looked up and found a cluster of stars in the sky. It didn't rain the whole day and the weather just got better.“I need to call Jake.”My eyes went back to Caren. “Oh, please. That boy doesn't love you."She glared at me. “Just shut up!""How did you get back your phone, anyway?" I asked her. "D
"HEY, baby. What's wrong?"I looked at Lenos' concerned face. Lenos caught me in a bad mood when we met today during our break time."Is it Miss Carlos again?" he asked. He was talking about my terror professor in Physics that I hated so much.I shook my head. Miss Carlos was absent from class today. "It's my dysmenorrhea." It was my time of the month and dysmenorrhea was fucking killing me. "I forgot to bring my painkiller."Lenos sighed as he gently caressed my hair."Let's go to the clinic," he softly said to me.He took my bag that I was holding and slid it on his shoulders. "You can rest there first while waiting for your next class."&ldq
"WHERE are you going?"I asked Caren as soon as she got out of the shower.While having dinner earlier, I heard her say to Aunt Feling that she's going to her classmate's house tonight for a school project. But of course, I know better."You heard me earlier, right? I'm going to my classmate's house."I smirked at her. "And do you really think you can fool me?"She rolled her eyes. "Fine. I'm gonna go to Jake's place. Satisfied?" She picked up her wristwatch on the nightstand.I frowned. "At this hour?" It was already eight in the evening."It is Jake's birthday today," she answered me. "There's a pa
“I WANT to have a car just like that one someday!”I said to Lenos as we walked past by a black SUV that was parked outside the bar where I was working. “But I want mine matte," I continued.I stopped myself from yawning. I just got out of work. It was already Saturday morning. My shift got extended for two hours because it's the weekend. I already told Lenos not to fetch me after work but when I left the bar, he was already waiting for me outside.“Just your car?" Lenos asked, his eyebrows slightly raised.I pouted. “You already have a car.”"It's not mine. It's my parents," he said.
