“AUDREY?” Josiah called me again and I quickly looked at him, puzzled.
“I’m sorry. What is it again?” I curiously asked. I silently scolded myself for being spaced out.
“I’m asking you if do you want to get married?” he repeated and based on the way they look at me, he was measuring me.
That sudden question from him caught me off guard. I couldn’t open my mouth to speak and just gulp. It took me two minutes before I could process what he just said, but before I could even open my mouth, Bella popped up from somewhere, cutting my thoughts from speaking them out loud.
“Go on, Audrey!” she yelled, drunkenly. “It’s time to forget about that asshole!” she yelled in a drunken tone while raising the bottle of an unfamiliar beverage.
I looked at Josiah with drunken eyes who’s raising his eyebrow at

IT was one week had passed since I have received that message, telling me that I should claim my marriage certificate in an office. My whole world was literally shaken by that sudden message I just received. My eyes went wide as I finished reading the message that has been sent to me. I even screamed ‘What?!’ loud and good thing Bella didn’t hear it because she didn’t go to my room to check what was happening why I yelled. At first, I thought that the sender was nuts so I just disregard the message. What matters to me at that time was that I need to go to school and attend my classes that afternoon. I also think that maybe they just send it wrong to the wrong person because why am I married in the first place? I just had broken up with my boyfriend. Not until if, Felix is crazy enough to hire a lawyer and made a marriage certificate telling that we are married together so I have no choice. Tss. As if. If Felix really makes that kind of tactic, I’ll die

He's drinking coffee with a girl, smiling like an idiot, and acting as if nothing has happened. He didn't just come from heartbreak, for example. He acted as if he didn't care about me at all. These last few days have been hell on earth for me. I tried to divert my attention away from studying for the finals, but sometimes before I could even close my eyes to sleep, my thoughts were drawn back to the heartbreak I was experiencing. I used to have sleepless nights all the time. But it appears that my ex-boyfriend enjoys his life so much that he quickly finds a new girlfriend.My gaze darted from Felix to the girl, then back again. I take a close look at her.

"Pardon me, miss and sir?" said the lady, and I looked at her and blinked three times." I'm guessing she's still in high school."Uh... Are you two... a couple?" the lady inquired, which caused her to look at her with wide eyes open. "Because if that's the case, you two could just share the chocolates. Isn't that what couples do?” she said with a bright smile on her face. What she said made me want to rip her smile off.Both I and the stranger beside me turned our heads 90 degrees towards the lady in front of us.“No!”“Yes!”As a result, I quickly turned my head towards the man beside me. I'd say I'm almost boiling with rage right now. He couldn't possibly do it. Regardless of how attractive you are, mister. I'm not going to give you this box of chocolates. We require this! This is necessary for our brain to function properly!“What?!" I screamed in frustration, but he remained silent. I take a deep breat

“I’M sorry miss for using you. But in this world, people like using one another just to get what they want. If you don’t like someone using you, then use them first.”I blink as my mouth, which had been gaping open, closed. The stranger man looked at me seriously as he said that before leaving me stunned, and I was stuck in my position, not knowing what to say or how to respond to what he had just said.I gulped and raised my head slightly as my brain tried to process what the man had said earlier. It had been a few minutes, but I was still standing in the same spot where that strange man who had stolen the box of chocolate that I was supposed to buy had left me.What he said stayed with me.If I don't like someone using me... then I'll just use them first... Of course, who would like it if they were being used? None. There is no one who wishes to be used. But what about using them first? Not everyone on the planet

THEY SAY that when you're in love, you have to be inspired in everything you do. Perhaps they were correct at that point. Because I was always happy and inspired every minute of my life when Felix and I were still together. He didn't cheat until I caught him. It shattered my world into a million pieces. It was the most heartbreaking experience I'd ever had.I simply adore, but why does it appear that fate does not want me to be happy? Perhaps it is true that some people were afraid to be happy because fate would play on their emotions and hurt them.You are inspired when you are in love. But what if your heart has been broken? You're a frozen corpse? Do you appear to be carrying half of the world's problems? Is that it?If there's one thing I've learned from my broken relationship, it's to never give your entire self to someone, especially when there's no guarantee that you two will end up together. I mean, please make s

I return to my phone to finish reading the email sent to me by my professor, and I sighed heavily when I did. This. Can’t. Be.I even read the email three times to make sure I was reading it correctly. I know the world is harsh to me, but it can't be this harsh, can it?When I heard Bella's scream, I was in the midst of my disappointment. I turned around and saw her outside her room, holding her phone and screaming as if she had won the lottery."Would you please calm down?" I said harshly to her, and she walked towards me."I just can't help myself," she exclaimed, delighted. "I have some exciting news!”"What exactly is it?" I inquired, uninterested. It was good news for her. So, what about me? If she's got good news, I've got bad news.God! Please help me!"Look, I'm going to be assigned to a five-star hot

THEY say that dreaming is free, so keep dreaming. Make big plans. I was in my junior year of high school when I decided I wanted to be an architect. I, too, hesitated at first and became frustrated whenever the thought occurred to me, ‘What if I can't do it?’ ‘What if I don't succeed?’ ‘What if... this isn't the right path for me?’ ‘What if I'm not cut out to be an architect?’And a slew of "what ifs." But, as Bella once said, "How will you know if you don't try?"That question from my best friend irritates me. And I realize she's correct. There are so many what ifs in my head that I forget I'll never know if being an architect isn't for me if I don't try. I was in my senior year of high school at the time, and I was frustrated. I was even on the verge of crying every morning because I was still undecided about which course I would take in college. I was angry at myself because my classmates kn

AFTER our final exams, Bella and I already relaxed because we knew this task would be a nightmare for us. At the very least, Bella was having fun while I was working in the coffee shop where Bella's crush, Jake, was working. Jake, on the other hand, was quiet; we were not even talking to each other. It was strange that we were both working in the same shop but didn't talk to each other. I suppose he's just a shy type of person. I'm not sure what my best friend sees in him that makes her like him so much. Yes, he has good looks, but he appears to be the type of person who would rather bury his face in books all day than be in a relationship."Come on, bestie! Let's go to the bar!" Bella, who has dressed nicely again, grabbed my arm, but I didn't let her drag me out of her condo unit.This is more than enough of a reason for me to look for a new place to live!I've lost count of the number of times she's invited m
