I could still feel the throbbing of my left cheek, "It stings but I need to manage. It will be more embarrassing to let Natalie and Sheila see more of my pathetic self."    I also noticed that my clothes are dusted to a considerable degree. "I stink!" I sobbed as a sour and salty smell developed on my body. I need to freshen up soon.    "So, what do you plan to do with those girls who attacked you?"    She never thinks about these things herself, right now the pressing issue is that she never told me about this. I looked at her, my eyes were like a curious vixen.    "Dunno," she answered haphazardly. "Just let them be, if I continue to ignore them, they will eventually get tired."

  It has been thousands of years since philosophers pondered the question "Who am I?" Yet no one had fully grasped the concept of self.    I sighed knowing this book about existence will be too hard for me to understand. I've been reading quite a number of books already yet all the information I absorbed just entered my brain and exited some other way.    Mrs. Bautista is already staring at me, perplexed on how I'm even trying to hit my head with a thick book, forcing to transfer all the knowledge on my brain.    I'll just go home and eventually think about it.    I held some books in return and gathered quite a number of new books to supplement my studies. After all, given that I ha

  Of course, he was surprised. Who in their right mind will slap themselves, in front of the other party, without prior warning?   I mean for else's sake, I prevented myself from kissing a stranger. Well, I did know him but from his point of view I'm just a girl he just randomly saved, thus a bona fide stranger.    Despite my cheeks starting to appear red, that was a slight punishment for thinking something as kissing him. Still I didn't expect him to apologize because I slapped myself.    "Sorry, you seem kind of startled," he said, puffing his eyes for forgiveness.   I just went on silent mode and walked away slowly. "Just think of it like nothing had happened."   

  "Ugh, Why are there so many customers today?" I said as there are many people entering and exiting the convenience store.    Honestly it is a good sign that many customers are coming, so the owner might decide to increase my pay. Well, that is kinda impossible in reality but there is no harm in hoping.    "Here is your change," I said to the teenage guy who just bought a can of soda.    "C'mere girl!" Someone shouted, I noticed that a university student was hitting on the girl outside the store. It is obvious that he was drunk.    Of course people didn't mind them, they just went about their own business. As for me, as much as I wanted to come to the rescue, I'm afraid that I'm too wimpy for this situation.    I took my phone and snapped a picture, it might be used as an evidence for sexual harassment, I'm also secretly recording a video in

  "Irene! Look here…." Athena shouted as she ran across the hall.    "Ohhh…. That's perfect!" Irene said.    She grabbed the announcement poster glistening from the refraction of sunlight. Holding it on two ends they both placed it on the bulletin board for everyone to see.    "It's definitely a wonderful day….." Irene said as she stared at the paper announcing an extensive feeding-program, her hand was on her waist and a grin was painted on her lips.    It has been two weeks since she started working here, and today, she is no longer a staff member only allowed to do random chores.    Just two days ago, she had been en
