"Dude, wake up! How long are you going to find that girl? You've been searching for a week and you're almost going to miss school if Tita hasn't warned you," A plump guy in black sweater scolded the pale guy beside him leaning helplessly on the table.
"Marco, I'm this close to finding her" Jaiden moves two of his fingers close to indicate what he means to his friend. He has this lifelessness to him, like his body is screaming to give up. But his mind is still going, like he developed a will of steel.
"I'm almost certain that this is where she works. This is the last convenient store around the capital. And look at this table, isn't it exactly the same with this picture?" He had these glowing eyes, despite the dark circles forming around it.
"Seriously, Dude that girl is as light as a feather!" Marco babbles as he jumps on the bed. Marco was now busy removing his shoes and making himself comfortable in bed. It has some nice fluff to it allowing his body mass to sink onto the mattress like he had been flying with the clouds. Meanwhile, Jaiden was busy scrolling his phone looking at Caroline's pictures. "She is funny isn't she?" he said as he remembered the earlier scene. An unknown smirk can be seen from his face. "Ah you mean when she walked there so confidently?" Marco recalled, he made a straight jab and giggled. "That's quite unexpected isn't it? Jaiden can't help release a faint laugh as he also finds t
Her life— She hates it, she despises it, yet here she is still living a damn life. She's been known as Irene as long as she can remember, a name given to her by her deceased father. She remembered how his father told him stories about how she was the symbol of peace her father had been dreaming of since he was a child. The joyful memories became nothing but a tragic truth. Unfortunately for his father, he never realized it. And here she is, in this frenzied place, almost rotting without a future to hold. She gripped tightly on the hand-rails of the rusting stairs, dripping wet from the sudden pour of rain. Sh
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."
A loud techno-like noise resounds on the streets and the road is swarming with people. The feeling is closely similar to those festive days during the previous elections. When political jiggles were continuously played around the streets, forcing you to remember them as it goes on. Now that it reminds me, the barangay will be hosting an event that was currently being developed by the Capital City Mayor, well not that I know him personally but he is the burly guy Matty was talking with a few weeks ago. Erwin Fernandez, former Councilor and Fernandez family's "The Loyal Dog". It has been proven that he is the most trustworthy member of the family, and his governance is truly satisfactory amongst his constituents. Maybe right now they are preparing for the event. Anyways that was their problem and I have m
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
I was confident until a moment ago, I'm afraid that I had yet to comprehend that being suddenly held by him is nerve wracking, my new found confidence just puffed out of the sky like a balloon exploding due to extreme atmospheric pressure. I wished I had known that, that moment the water droplets rain down the summer road, he will come to save me like a prince in a wondrous fairy tale. * * * Standing on the road side, agitated by the mere thought of finally meeting the girl who he had been looking for for the past week, Jaiden brushed up his hair, tidying it to the best of his abilities. He is constantly looking at his watch, even to the point of counting his fingers from ner
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."
She opened her eyes in a sterilized bed, the smell of bleach was reeking around the area, it didn't seem odd as the bed was facing a white tiled bathroom recently cleaned just a few minutes ago. For a moment she was perplexed, but after quickly realizing the event that evening, she sighed. "Looks like I lost to that uncle," she said. Her body was still sort of heavy from the cold, but it is evident that her condition was a lot better now. "I need to get out of here." She stood up from the bed and located her belongings now dried and neatly placed on the corner of the room. The table, and electric fan that she thought she lost was along the bunch of things that were resting th
