-- They look good together -- “You look pretty exhausted,” said Jill with worried look on her eyes. She offered to check his body but Wayne politely declined. She looked down and pouted, she wanted to know the problem but he was very distant. “You sure this would work?” Wayne asked. He looked sweaty with blurry eyes but he didn’t want to missed out the classes. He can still feel the ache from his wounds, the sore was still there, but the beat up face is almost fixed with strips of unnoticeable wounds thus he wore a mask today, he also brought a hoodie just in case. They were avoiding Anastasia, who was looking for him since yesterday. “Yeah of course! Not a long-term alternative but works for now. Also be careful, she swore to kill you. I heard those words yesterday.” She told Wayne. Jill grabbed his hand, he looked at her confusingly. “Be safe okay?” “You don’t have to worry that much

- The scum’s wish-   April made a choice to tell him. Even though she knew less about him, it was a spur of moment decision to trust him. The teacher already left with instruction in the board, some were already starting the activity while other are likes, chatting or frolicking around. Wayne watched her as he waited for her answer, his eyes was fixed at her as April nervously exhaled. “W-well, t-this, I mean” she finds it difficult to start her sentence. She had doubts inside her, but she realized there’s no reason to be afraid of. In the first place she had wondered why she kept it a secret.   “Why don’t we keep it as an open secret?” It was her own words few years ago when they just started dating. “I’m really embarrassed talking, y-you know me I never imagined dating or whatever.” She told Jm. But a lot of years has passed and it was kept that way. “I don’t have re

-Is this canteen or hell?-   “Is that Wayne?”  said one of the girls from their class. “Are they bitching on him?” The other mutters. They were all surprised to see the mysterious young man, with cold eyes and timid aura was hanging out with bunch of noise maker in their class. Especially the girls who had crush in them felt defeated. “Maybe he’s dating one of them?” One of them exclaimed. “I think it’s April, I saw them being lovey dovey during class.” “Oh yeah, I’ve also seen them, Wayne kinda kissed her in the cheeks they we’re flirting in the back.” The other agree. As soon they left the room rumors already spread in the entire classroom. From dating to getting pregnant that’s how quick it spread like a wild fire in forest. Wayne was in between April and Jill. He looked around, people there are a lot people.

-Rumors-   He wished the rumors were true. But not everyone's attention, he felt nauseous. The young man could look at their eyes, vision shifted to a blur as heart palpated. April on the other hand didn't like the tone that the girl had, in fact she never once liked her. The girl who likes to spread rumors, who is in love with Wayne and pretty much all the hottest guy, and acts like a queen bee when clearly, she is not. Her name is Pema, a lot of their doesn’t really like her, some even wonder why she was one section one but one thing for sure is that she was backup in their class. "What did you say? I didn't hear you." April glared at the girl, she prepared to beat her up with her fist waiting to land on her face. "I didn't know the tomboy had a boyfriend? Ughhh" A grimace look as if she was looking at a shit. She looked agitated upon hearing those words. April couldn’t help it but land a punch on the girl’s face. Every

- Rendezvous -   I had a dream last night, I pondered at our usual rendezvous with a sobbed eyes and grey lips but I couldn't tell whether I was sad or just lonely. But after a while, the sky change into a palette of colors, I noticed a silhouette from afar, closer, to closer he approached me and brought the bright firmament into a blissful light. I thought he was JM but turns out someone else. A person that I didn't expect to come. Someone. “Wake up sis! It’s 8 am in the morning dummy!” His younger brother named woke up her up, he pulled April from her dreamy slumber.  She was half awake wiping her eyes while his obnoxious brother brought her back to what she defines as a cruel reality. “AREN’T YOU GOING TO CHURCH?” His brother asked. “Naaah, I don’t wanna go today.” April wasn’t in the mood to get up, she yawned before snuggling herself in her co
