It was 4 in the morning when I woke up. After minutes of staring at the ceiling, I finally decided to get up. I only did some workouts, and then took a rest. Afterwards, I took a bath and fixed myself. Luckily, there were still some good clothes left at my cabinet that I can use. When I was done, I took my bag and then left. Mom's still sleeping so I just left a note for her, I hope she'll be able to read it. "Mom, sorry for leaving without giving you a notice. You're still sleeping so I decided not to wake you up. I'll be heading to school now. Please have some rest, okay? I'll visit again when I'm free. I love you."I walked my way to the village's gate. It was still dark outside, well the sunrise hasn't risen yet. I sitted on the bench at the waiting shed, and waited for a bus to pass by. Hoh, it was so cold outside. I didn't have any jacket with me. I looked at my surroundings, there was no one. I was alone here. Before, I really didn't like the feeling of it. I used to call my
Ezekiel and I arrived at the club room, and thankfully, our other members were already there. I guess it wouldn't take us long to wait for the others and then we'll start ahead. I really hope this will be done immediately. The election's already near and yet, we still haven't finished campaigning. I already missed lots of classes because of it. "Hey, what's with the long face?" Elena asked me. Oh, did I make it obvious to them that I am thinking hard? "Oh, nothing, I'm just thinking about some stuff," I said. "I see, I won't question you anymore. I just hope you're not regretting your decision joining us." Actually, that's the thing I am thinking about, I felt like it was wrong for me to join and now I'm regretting it. I just awkwardly laugh at her. Just like what I thought, it doesn't really take us long to wait for the others. Now, since we're already complete, we immediately continue campaigning. Our goal for today is to at least finish half of the remaining classes. Our day
After eating at the cafeteria, Ezekiel and I decided to walk Aleah back to her classroom since it'll be also on our way to the clubroom. At first, Aleah refused but I really insisted so she just let me. This is the least thing I can do for everything she did for me. If it wasn't for her, I really don't know how I would be able to catch up with my missed classes. "Here you go. Thank you again for the handouts you've given to me. You're my saviour," I said as we reached the door of her classroom. Ah, I miss being in class. "Don't mention it. Anyways, thank you too. Goodluck for the both of you. I hope you guys will be back with positive news.""We surely will be, see you later," Ezekiel said as he waved his hand. And with that, Ezekiel and I left, and we walked to the clubroom. This will be another tiring day, yet fulfilling. As soon as we arrived there, it only took us 10 minutes before we were all gathered and resumed campaigning again. Of course, since I am more close with Ezekie
I just woke up to the irritating sound of my alarm clock. Argh! how I really hate Mondays. I had to wake up so early even though it was against my will. Why do schools start really early in the morning? I need to be at the University even if it's still dawn. How draining it is. Hell, I would love to stay in bed longer. Five minutes had passed, I guess, when I heard an annoying noise once again. That shitty alarm clock, I'm gonna throw that away later. Argh! Now I can't sleep. Due to frustration, I just decided to move now so that I won't be late. I've done some stretching to stretch my bones so that they won't be painful when I do heavy work. After stretching, I took rest first before deciding to take a bath. My mom always told me to take a bath first before eating. She also said that I should remember what Baymax had said "One hour rest after eating before swimming" that goes same with taking a bath. Well, I'm not gonna lose anything if I follow her and look, it has become a habit
"Hey man, I thought you'll be late today. You're really changing ah." I didn't notice that Liam was already seated beside me. I just gave him a smile. I don't have the strength to talk, and knowing Liam, he's so talkative, I'll surely lose all my strength for the day. "So, what's up man? How's Aunt Leah?" Liam asked. "I didn't visit her yesterday," I replied. I went home straight from school. I was feeling sick at that time, that's why I chose to rest. I'll visit mom whenever I get some free time. "Huh? I thought you're going? You told us that, what happened?" I looked at him. I don't know if it's right thing to tell him what happened but keeping those in myself will probably make things worse. Also, I want to let these things out of me and maybe, this way will be better. "It's about me and James... Ahm, we broke up." I was expecting a glee sound , especially knowing that they're both waiting for this, but I didn't expect his reaction. He's silent and looks shocked. "T-tell m
I was really exhausted when I entered the room. I literally ran from the cafeteria 'till here, it's so far. As I opened the doctor, I was taken back to see my professor inside. Sh*t, I didn't make it on time. He looked at me with his glaring eyes. No! Spare my life. "You're late, Mr. Valencia." I know, Sir. It's so obvious. I apologized to Mr. Mendez due to my actions and immediately seated on the vacant space. "Hey, what happened?" I heard someone ask me. I shifted my gaze from the front to my back and I saw a woman. Oh! It's Aleah. She's been my classmate since first year college. We've been together for 1 year so we are already fond of each other. "Ah, I forgot about the class." I really need to check my schedule before doing anything else. If I ever continue being this, Mr. Mendez will probably give me a failing remark. Also, I will miss some lessons, that won't do me good. "Am I that really late?" I asked. Well, Mr. Mendez didn't give me any letter so I guess that's not to
Just like what Katherine said, we will watch the basketball game. We are currently at the gymnasium, wow, there's a lot of people. The players aren't here, since the facilitators are still cleaning the court. So why are we here already? These guys are too excited. Anyways, our basketball team will have its competitor for today coming from the other school. Most of the students are dying to watch it since they said that it'll be a big game, like it was some kind of inter high competition. I wish it'll be finished soon because I wanna go home right now. And that will be impossible since the game isn't even starting. Tsk! Fifteen minutes had passed and the game wasn't still starting. Suddenly, I felt like my head hurt. I looked at my surroundings and my vision was spinning. I tried to make it clear by closing my eyes for a second but when I opened it again, it caused me more headache. I don't think I'll be able to stand it especially because the place is too clangorous, it'll probably m
"You're such a fool." I was shocked by the sudden voice I heard behind me. I forgot that someone is sitting behind me. I ranted and cried my heart out not knowing that there's a person hearing those. This is so embarrassing. I know that I have been stupid. I have done so many things that hurt me along the way. Things that ruined me. Yeah, I'm such a fool. But hearing those words coming from someone I don't know, I couldn't say a thing. It feels like something hitted me, even though I know it's coming. "Being used by others is the worst thing a person could experience. No one wants to be played. We desire for someone that will reciprocate our worth, " I stated. Elder said that we shouldn't talk to someone we don't know, or simply mean, don't talk to strangers. But as we grew up, we realized, letting go of our feelings by telling it to other people is much better, it'll help us to be free. And that's what I'm doing. I can't tell what's on my mind to those people who are close to

After that conversation I had with Andrei, I immediately went downstairs to help mom prepare the food, leaving Andrei alone in my room. I hadn't even reached the kitchen when I already heard his footsteps behind me. I didn't even dare to look at him so I just continued on my way to the kitchen. "Oh, I was about to call you two. Take a seat," mom said and the two of us obliged. I sat down at the edge of the table while Andrei sat beside me. Mom on the other hand, sat in front of us. Hope that I survive this night without mom noticing anything wrong between me and Andrei. Afterwards, we started eating. "So how's the university?" Of course it's still a university, mom. Or am I unaware that it became a hospital or cementery? "Our schedules have been kind of hectic these past few weeks due to loads of work. There's also many upcoming events that's why we really don't have enough time for leisure, Auntie. Right, Kevin?" What should I do tonight? I made my way here instead of stayin
When I came home, mom wasn't around. I kept calling her but there's really no one answering me. I wonder where she went. I reminded her multiple times to stay only in the house when she's alone because something might happen again to her yet she doesn't really know how to listen. I was about to call her when the door opened, there I saw mom entering the house holding tons of groceries in both of her hands. I quickly helped her with it. "Mom, where have you been? Didn't I tell you to stay put here at the house? I will do those for you, you don't have to do it. You need to rest and be wary of your health. You didn't even dare to tell me you'll go out somewhere. What if something bad happens to you again?" She put down the groceries on the kitchen top and sat on a chair. "I'm sorry, honey, I got bored so I decided to do some shopping. It wasn't easy for me to just stay here all the time. I get bored easily," she said. This is what I am saying. I shouldn't leave her here alone. "Okay,
He looked at me the moment the kid called her daddy. There's no emotion within his eyes, so different from he used to. While me, he surely can see how confused I am right now. Too many questions kept circling in my mind. "Andrei, what does she mean-""Come on now, Nicole." And just like that, they both left, leaving me dumbfounded. I don't know what to say, nor what to do at the moment. It feels like something struck me, making me unable to move. I don't know how to explain what I am feeling right now. Because of what happened, I forgot that I was about to go to the bathroom. Feeling down, I came back to the gymnasium and sat there quietly. It keeps on bothering me that the kid called him daddy. Well, maybe it was really his daughter. But hell, can't he at least say a word to me like, "let's talk later", instead, he just left without saying a word. What should I do then? The game already started, and there I saw him. He looks so serious. As far as I want to fully watch the
Days have passed since Andrei and I had a conversation, well that wasn't really a good one though. We didn't even exchange phone calls or even messages. Since our last conversation, we haven't had a new one. And I'm so busy with the campaigning that I don't have time to message or call him. He's probably in the same situation. However, it's been days since we talked and it was like an argument for me. I need to talk to him now to clear everything. Creating a distance without talking to each other will only create a bigger problem in our relationship. Okay, maybe I'm just worrying over it but at least let me know if we're okay. I don't want any problems with this. I tried calling him but his phone's always off. Maybe because they are really focused on practicing, I heard that the game will be on next week. Luckily, the elections are already done by that time so I'm able to watch it. I decided to just leave him a message saying to call me when he has free time. I hope he's able to re
"You can leave me here now, I can manage myself from here. Thank you," Katerine said when we finally arrived at her club room. I looked inside her room, and just like what she told me, her club mates really like to pry. Hay, I know that Katherine is strong, but in times like this, she is close to breaking down. She doesn't want people to hate her just because of her life choices, especially when it is not even a mistake. Before leaving Katherine, I make sure first that she'll be fine there. I told her to contact me or Liam if something unnecessary happens. Afterwards, I went straight to my club room because I just received a message from Elena saying we'll have an urgent meeting. I wonder what it is about. Hoh, It'll be a long tiring day for us again. When I arrived, all of my club mates were there. I sitted beside Ezekiel, and asked him what must be the agenda of this meeting. He only shrugged his shoulders telling me he doesn't know anything. I really wonder what it is all about
I went straight home. I wanted to take some rest because this day is really exhausting. This will continue for the next few weeks and I don’t know if I can stand it until then. When I arrived, I didn't even think of changing my clothes, I quickly went to my bed and lay down. Argh, so tiring. And at that time, I immediately fell asleep. I woke up and saw that the sky’s dark. Oh, it’s already evening. I looked through my phone and was shocked to see that it was already past midnight. I can’t believe I slept too much because of exhaustion. Well, there’s nothing I can do about it now, at least I got some time to rest.I walked into the kitchen. It was too late to cook for some meal right now, so I guess I’ll just stick up on a cup noodles. It’s fine for me, I just wanted to have something on my stomach. While waiting for the noodles to be cooked, I browse through my phone. I saw that Andrei got three missed calls and one message.[From: Mr. Flashy EyesAre you home now? Call me back w
