CXXIII: In the Beach
Sam sat down near the water and the sand, he glanced at the horizon, and soon after, Sally sat next to him.Sam said, “I used to always come here whenever I feel down.”“Like a special place, or is that another one of your lines to get me?”“You are one distrusting girl.”                                                                                             “And you are one dishonest boy.” Sally teased back.“Ouch.”The two of them laughed together. They had been on each other’s throats for a while now, but maybe it was the moment, for just a minute or so, Sam and Sally saw each other’s vulnerability- something they never let anyone s

CXXIV: Know Better
But then, a friend of Sam’s saw him and enthusiastically greeted him, “Hey Sam! I’ve been looking everywhere for you! I heard about the bet you made with Alexander and today’s the last day. How is it going?”Sam glanced at Sally unconsciously, and his friend saw that. He said, “Oh, is this her? The girl from the bet? You must be Sally.”Sally scoffed, clearly annoyed and replied, “Yes, I am that girl. I am Sally. Do you have any business with me?”“Feisty.” The guy remarked, “By the way, Sam, I heard you drove away with her yesterday. Did that mean you win? Did you get into her pants? Did you use the sad, manipulative technique? You know, the one about telling her about your sad family so she’d come naturally lower down her guard?”Sally flinched upon hearing that, she thought to herself, so that was part of his game. I should have known better. Sally rea

CXXV: Apology
“I’m sorry. What now?” Sally argued.Sam calmly replied, “Apology accepted.”“Ha-ha. So funny.” She sarcastically said as she shot Sam a look- an annoyed one. Pedro, on the other hand, just sighed and said, “You’re childish and reckless again, Sam. May I remind you of what you just did earlier?”“No need. I was sober even when I said all that.”Pedro scoffed, “Sure, thanks for clearing up that misunderstanding. It turns out that you were just an asshole then.”“He definitely is,” Sally muttered under her breath, but Sam was able to hear that. Sam protested, “Hey, are you his girlfriend or something? How can you take his side so casually?”“I’m stating the truth as it is,” Sally replied.Sam and Sally were arguing like husband and wife over trivial things, and Pedro was just sitting there as he let time pass by.

CXXVI: Interrogating?
Sam insisted on staying, which made their table extremely awkward.Pedro sighed deeply; he said to Sally as he completely ignored Sam’s presence, “Sally, are you close with the owner of the restaurant? Oli, was it?”“Yes, the owner is Oli. I’m… her work, so I don’t know what you expect me to say.” Sally awkwardly lied, “But do mind me asking why?”“It’s just… there’s something off about Oli. It seems to me like she’s hiding something.” Pedro explained, “Whenever I kept asking about the girl who was looking for her parents, the one you announced back then, Oli would seem frantic about it, and she kept changing the subject too. I’m guessing she… must have met Maya or something and just disguised her identity as someone else. I mean, that would explain why you… said it wasn’t Maya. What if Oli intentionally didn’t want anyone to kn

CXXVII: Friend’s Fight
Sally was looking around to ask for help, and she tried to step in. She said to the two of them, “Okay, I think you both had a little too much to drink, let’s just all calm down-““You’re a sly man, Pedro.” Sam continued, “How dare you bring my mother up?”“Oh, so if you do it, it’s fine, but I do it, it’s wrong? You’re such a hypocrite.” Pedro said, “I’ve always hated Alexander, but I realized just how much I hate you more. You have always been this way, Sam. You point out everyone else’s flaws and secrets just to make sure they don’t see yours.”Pedro shoved Sam as he added, “You’re pathetic, whiny, and immature, Sam. You play with girls to hide the fact that you’re scared of being like your father, who was constantly cheated on by your mother. You’re your mother’s bank while you’re your father’s assurance that y

CXXVIII: Speechless Oli
Ryan was still panting, and it was obvious that he had run his way there. He sighed out of relief and said, “Thank god I arrived on time. Are you okay? Were you hurt? Oli?”Oli was dumbfounded to see Ryan in front of her with his arms wrapped around Oli. Oli never noticed it before, but Ryan’s arms were manly. Ryan hugged caught Oli in his arms in such an endearing manner. She was speechless, but soon, she snapped out of it and said, “Ryan… you’re here.”“You called me.” Ryan patted Oli’s head gently and said, “Of course I’d be here. I was worried about you too. Here, stay back. I’ll handle this.”From behind, Oli saw how wide Ryan’s shoulder was. She always knew Ryan had a manly build, but at the moment, Oli’s heart was racing uncontrollably faster than usual. The two had an ongoing cold war, but with just one call, Ryan came running.Oli and Ryan had always

CXXIX: Sincerity
“Oh, come on, you’re ridiculous, you’re overreacting.”“I would be anything just to make sure I won’t lose you. Get that in your mind and accept it as it is.” Ryan sincerely said, and then he left.Oli heavily sighed as Ryan left. She leaned on the bar and averted her gaze at Sally, and she asked, “How are you feeling?”“Probably better than you are right now,” Sally replied.“You’re not going to scold me or anything like it?”Sally shook her head and simply replied, “I’ll let you sort this one out. As frustrating as it is to watch you be so naïve and all, I know I have to let you figure it all out.”Oli softly chuckled as she glanced outside at the starry night, “I just don’t get it. I don’t understand why Ryan… acted that way. I don’t get it at all.”“Are you sure you don’t get i

She was not mentally prepared for that.What was that about? Does he know? Does he remember me? Sally’s thoughts were a mess. She wasn’t entirely sure whether Sam remembered her or he was just playing to get her to confess?Maybe, it was just some coincidence, and I’m reading too much into it? Sally hoped that was the case.

CXXXI: One of Kind
The next morning, Maya was the first to wake up. Maya looked around and to her surprise, Oli and Sally were sleeping on the floor next to the couch where she slept in. She smiled as she muttered, “Geez, these two….”Just then, Maya heard a knock on the door, so she immediately went to get it, but Ryan was already inside. Maya asked, “Oh, how did you get in?”Ryan showed Maya his keys and said, “Didn’t you know? I have a duplicate. I always drop by early in the morning to make sure Oli’s awake and ate breakfast. Besides, she’s almost always wasted, so I had to bring her back here.”Maya chuckled, “You are truly one of a kind.”“So is she.” Ryan then continued after he dropped off some seaweed soup and bandages, “Oh, these are for Sally. I treated her wounds, but just to make sure it won’t worsen, make sure she takes these medicines.”“Why? Wh

CXXXII: Trying Hard
“We were thinking that Pedro was using this information as leverage against you, I mean, knowing you, you’d come running back, but what if there are no leads and he’s just manipulating you,” Sally continued.Maya calmed down after realizing their point. She said, “I guess that makes sense. I’m just… infuriated. Everything that has been happening to me was because of one guy. I left him, no more accurately; Alexander left me to marry Stephanie. Can’t she see that she’s already won? Why do they have to go and do this to me?”“It’s just annoying.” Maya added as she sighed, “I’ve been trying so hard, and yet I still get caught in everyone else’s mess.”Oli patted Maya’s back gently and said, “Hey, don’t look so glum, we got your back, and you got ours. No matter what, we’re here to stay, okay?”Maya smiled.Sally then sai
