"You look as if you had a blast last night and didn't get enough sleep because of it." Top jested when he came to pick me up the next morning. I know what he's talking about cause I really looked like a panda when I looked at the mirror this morning. I didn't sleep last night because my mind is too occupied of what happened.
"Shut up." I snapped at him before getting inside the car and leaning the back of my head on the car seat.
"Aow, seems like you woke up on wrong side of the bed. That's new. Everyone who had slept with him always say that his aftercare is wonderful--"
"I did not sleep with him Top! And that'll never happen! Can we just go now?! Please!" I can't help but to raise my voice at him as I feel my head throbbing whilst listening to him.
He seemed shock upon my sudden outburst but knowing me, I'm sure he understood that I'm not in the mood fo

Gabriel's"You've been keeping that face for almost a week now, Gab. Seriously, what's wrong?" Kevin asked one afternoon while we're having our late lunch.It has been a busy week for all of us. The three idiots and their block came up with the idea of putting up the undying marriage booth as their fundraiser. And Mike and I were like, that's all? That's all you can think of? They could've at least put some twist on it but then, surprisingly, the board approved their proposal with much of their luck, if you ask me. Barry said that he and Marvin is too lazy to dig deeper into their creative minds but for all we knew, it doesn't have any creativity at all.They actually tried to get even with us for mocking their idea upon knowing the booth we proposed as our fundraiser. Well, it's a photo booth but with a twist. Instead of simply taking a picture of the client, the client would give us a name of a person that he or

Gabriel'sI was awaken by the loud ring from my phone. So I grunted while reaching for it on my bedside table and look at the caller ID. I can't help but to feel curious as to why Top would call me this early. It's the first day of U Week. Our call time is 9:00 am and it's just 8:00 am so I think that the call is urgent so I answered it."Hello?" I greeted the other line with my morning voice."Finally!" He exclaimed causing me to move my phone away from my ear and look curiously at the auditive."Hey! I just woke up! Don't scream!" I shouted back before putting my phone back against my ear. I even heard him laugh."Sorry. I just wanna ask if you had seen Maze? Their call time is 8:00 am and their performance will be at 9:30 am but then, he's still not here. The other members are already here and they are all nagging me for not picking him up." Top said and I frowned before getting

Gabriel'sI swallowed a couple of times as I feel the tension growing here at the backstage. Everyone who heard what the man said to Maze were utterly shocked. Well, I can't blame them. We just found out that Maze came from a well off family and that he's definitely a high profile person and they are all probably curious as to why Maze kept all these things but that's not the most surprising thing of it all. It's the fact that his father is still alive and Top lied to us when he said that Maze's parents are both dead.But why would he do that?And to sum it all, I can see from their reactions, especially on Maze's friends that this is not a good thing at all. That this is not a happy reunion between a dad and his son as I can see Maze fuming while looking at his dad.But why?Maze's reaction is full of resentment towards the man in front of him. It seems like seeing him was the las

Gabriel'sTop called me and said that Maze must be in his dorm since he doesn't have any places to go so I hurried to go here. But now that I'm standing in front of his door, I don't think if I still have enough courage left to meddle with his issues once again. He probably wants to be alone but I don't want him to feel alone. This contemplation is draining me.'This is now or never, Gabriel Solzeek.'So I sighed before clearing my throat and lifting my fist to knock on Maze's door."What are you doing here?" Startled, I looked at Maze who's standing just a meter away from me. He's holding a pack of cigarette in one hand and a pack of mule on the other.He looked pretty wasted and I can see him still trying to keep his straight face. If I wasn't there a while ago, I will easily believe that nothing's wrong with him and he just wants to do his vices but then again, I am glad that somehow I am a

Gabriel's"Love is, when you look at the person, and you knew right away that both of your hearts follows the same beat."I remained looking at the note Maze's mom had left him right after committing suicide. There's a lot of things that she wrote about love but this is the only thing that caught my attention.Maze and I are seated beside each other at the end of his bed. He's up for his fifth bottle of mule and has also finished 3 sticks of cigarette. Even though, I'm worried about his health, I don't have any strength to stop him with his vices cause I can see that it's one of his way to numb his pain. And even if he had already stopped crying, I can still see that he has a lot more to say.He just needs time.And I'm willing to wait.Mike texted me to inform me that the opening of the U Week is moved for tomorrow because of what happened. Which only proves that Maze's

Maze'sI woke up with a light heart and the feeling of someone patting my hand as if assuring that I'm having a good sleep. It was then I remembered what happened yesterday and who's the one sitting beside my bed.I opened my eyes and looked at Gab only to see him dozing off but still managing to pat my hand like he's trying to soothe me even if he's already tired. I looked at my alarm clock and saw that it's already 1:00 am in the morning, yet he's still here to keep me company.And I just found myself staring at him with this weird feeling inside me. I hate to admit it but Gab really made me feel better by simply being there for me. I don't know how he was able to calm the storm within me and made me feel like I don't have to deal with it alone cause I can always count on him.I still remember everything he said.His promise.I am not a huge fan of promises cause I kno

Gabriel'sI was awaken by the sudden knock on the door. I was having such a very good sleep because of the warm arms that are wrapped around me and I feel like I've been disturbed.It was then I felt a hot breath fanning ny face so I opened my eyes only to see Maze's face just an inch closer to mine. I wanted to move away cause my face is too close to his and I'm afraid that I might kiss him if this closeness will last a little longer.The knock on the door continued and it made Maze grumbled while wrinkling the bridge of his nose because obviously, his sleep is also disturbed. But instead of opening his eyes, he pulled me closer to his body and buried his face on my neck and it made my breathing hitched and my heartbeat went chaotic.'Oh, Maze. You're giving me a heart attack.'"Maze?" It's Top's voice and he keeps knocking on the door and I am now contemplating on whether should I wake

Gabriel'sMaze has been unusually quiet ever since we left the dorm and get in Top's car. He's not giving me a cold shoulder neither he's trying to pick on me but more on he looked perturbed. I know that it's because of his Dad and since I also don't know how to deal with his 'oh so powerful dad', I chose to remain silent as I think that none of anything I would say will really make a difference.But there's something in the way Maze looks at me.It's not cold nor indifferent.It looks scared and sad.And he sat on the passenger's seat while I'm at the back seat so I don't have any chance to ask him cause I'm still a bit shy to Top because of what happened earlier and I'm afraid that Maze might not like it if I talk to him right now. So I just sat at the back with my growing anxiety on what's about to come.But seriously, I don't think this whole thing will turn out good

The guy was ranting about how his son learned a bad word after spending a day with Gab.Tim just exclaimed the 'f' word when Top hit the brake and there's only one suspect for that.

Why do people nowadays seems to have no time to at least listen to me?! Am I becoming less significant to them?!'I can't help but to pout and cross my arms against my chest because of the thought.Maze has been totally ignoring me for a week now!

Maze's"Nervous?" I asked Gab though it's already obvious.I can see that he cannot settle himself at the passenger's seat and has been fidgeting his finger ever since we left the dorm. He looked at me and he smiled awkwardly."I-i don't know what to tell her once we're already there." He honestly said and I can't help but laugh because of how cute he is."C'mon, Gabriel. It's not as if you'll be having a chitchat with my Mom." I said and he winced at me."Maze! Of course I want to look presentable and deserving in front of your Mom! You can't expect me to be confident! I'm only second to her when it comes to the people you love." He grunted and even wrinkled his nose which made him cuter.It's now obvious that he's sulking because I made fun of his nervousness. Well, you can't blame me.

I told Maze while trying to hold back my tears.He's looking at me intently and I can see that he's eager to listen to me as I tell him about my past while we're both lying face to face on his bed.

I put the cup of coffee on my bedside table while still looking closely at Gab.Crimson was the one to give him first aid before we brought him here in my dorm.
