CIANA
Waking up with some hangover, I immediately walked to the fridge to drink some water. Lots of it. I also went to the bathroom to wash my face and as I looked in the mirror, I remembered last night.
Airo and I--We--
I touch my lips.
No. Jethro punched him.
“You are such a crazy girl, Ciana! How can you just let it happen? You are not sober to do such a thing!” Hysterically ranting
CIANAMy life felt different today. Almost all the time, I have not talked about anything. Airo and I are not talking and we are distancing ourselves from each other. It’s awkward, to the highest level. It feels weird at the same time, suddenly turning like this. Ciana from a future version of some universe out there just laughed at me the whole talk. She didn’t even notice all my sarcasms.Heading to the library alone, I feel sadder the more I am getting nearer to my destination.“I don’t like this.” I mumble while pouting my lips.
CIANA‘Ciana, how much do you think Airo changed there?’ A sudden text from her stopped me from what I am doing. I’m with Jethro today and I forgot to hide it again. We are in a Japanese cafe sipping some matcha tea. I don’t know what’s gotten into him that he chooses this place to do studying.“You have two phones?” He asks when I put it back in my bag.“Yeah.” I answered as normal as possible so he won’t ask anything else.“It looks more high tech than what we have today.”
CIANAI wake up on Airo’s back being taken on a piggy back ride. All I see are the deadly eyes of those girls who like him.“Hey, you can put me down.” I whisper, tapping his shoulder.“You spilled a lot of saliva on your bag and on my back.” Complaining, he puts me down and gives me my bag.“Why didn’t you just wake me up?”“You are asleep like a corpse. I bet you can’t remember how I tried waking you up.”
CIANAI am just a normal person, not very fortunate with life, not born a hero, powerless, but happy. This is all indeed me but I have a mission. A mission that will surely change my future. I am going to save Airo.Walking in the school grounds, I saw AIro talking to some girl I am not familiar with. She looks happy and they seem close. The image of Airo busy poking his phone came back on my head, so I presume, she is the girl he is busy texting with. How come I didn’t see her before?I greeted my teeth when the girl took Airo’s arm hugging it. So, he likes a pretty face with a busty breast and butt. I c
CIANADays went so normal but fantastic. What makes it a great day is him, Airo. I don’t know what’s going on with me but I think I’m liking him more every single day
CIANAI don’t know if he is trying to identify his feelings or what but he is ignoring me. No matter how hard I try to listen to the professor, my attention is still on him even though I am not looki
CIANA“You are definitely not okay.”
AIRO‘
(THE FINALE)CIANAI can’t help but drink the 2nd mug of coffee empty and massage my temple. Jethro is giving me headaches again. How did I end up working with him, fusing our companies? I put down all the papers I’ve been checking this whole time. Resting my back at the swivel chair, the view outside the building caught my attention. It’s as beautiful as always, taking half of my stress away from my body.The stars are bright tonight surrounding the moon. An image of a man immediately took over the view which made me blink my eyes fast to erase him in front of my eyes.“Ciana.” That’s David, he’s a suitor. He always barges in easily. I moved to turn the chair to him.“What brought you here again Mr. Sanchez?”“You know I’m here for you.” My eyes rolled. His voice is annoying me and I hate his guts. I rejected him many times already but he is still as hard as a rock trying to get me.“Stop this David or I’ll have no choice but ban you,” I said without even bothering to look at him.“Ye

CIANAI missed his cold stares, his natural blank expression on the face. His light brown eyes meeting mine making my heart always flutter. My face is in a state of shock and I’m even unaware a

CIANAHis hand is not the same. They are lifeless and cold now. I can’t move my hand well but I can feel him. Airo is beside me, with eyes closed and body plastered like a mummy. Jethro is still looking at me, at us. He looks happy just like everyone e
JETHROI swallow my own saliva trying to utter a word but my mouth is just halfway open and doesn’t know where to start. I can’t say goodbye yet. I can still wait for another five years.
JETHROWhen did my life start to look like this? These white walls look dark and gloomy. None of these are unacceptable. I’ve waited for years for them to at least give a sign that they are awake. I
