Later that night, I messaged Elena saying I'll be coming back to the university tomorrow. I also contacted Aleah to ask for some notes, and she said she'll give it to me tomorrow. Luckily, we didn't have any test so I don't need to worry anything regarding my grades. All I need to do now is to catch up with the lessons I missed. Also, before I went back to my apartment, I already made sure that mom will be fine alone at home. I decided that I'm going to visit her every weekends to make sure that she keep her promise, that she's taking care of herself.
When I arrived here at the apartment earlier, I took a quick nap to gain some rest. Afterwards, I cleaned the room. I am not fond of dirty places so most of the time, I made sure that everything around here is clean. Then, to make sure I don't need to procrastinate, I checked my schedule and the tasks I need to do. Fortunately, I done the other activities before mom got admitted in the hospital. Other tasks were scheduled for5 minutes have passed since I told Katherine about me and Andrei, and that's also how long she's kept asking me if it is true. I mean, how many times do I have to answer her until she gets satisfied? Now I am getting hungry just by doing this, maybe it is a mistake telling her at first place. I glanced at Andrei, he's laughing but not that hard. He's enjoying what's happening, that's for sure. Argh, why do I have to be stuck in place with these two? I can't stand them both. Can someone pick me up? "I'll just order some foods, I'm getting hungry, and please compose your mind now, you're already taking it for so long, " I said to Katherine. She pouted. I passed by Andrei, and walked straight to the counter. He was about to stand to follow me, as he said he'll accompany me but I didn't let him. I glanced back at the two, and saw both of them looking at me. Later on, I saw Katherine leaning into Andrei and she whisper something. Andrei, on the other hand, nodded his
Two weeks have passed since mom was admitted in the hospital. She's recovering so fast, and just like what she promised, she always drink her medicines and keep herself healthier this time. As for me, I already got rid of my backlogs on the time I was absent, and now I am focusing on the campaign. I suffer insomnia back then but I guess it was worth it, I am done. Also, only three days from now and the campaign period will soon to start. We are only given three weeks to campaign before the election so we do really need to do our best here. There's a part of me praying I won't win this.Due to many works in my plate, I don't have much time to go out with my friends, and even to go out with Andrei. I am always in the club room when it's my vacant time doing my work as a candidate and as a clubmate. When I go home, I always do my homeworks and projects so that I won't be left behind with my acadrmics. Sometimes, due to tiredness, I slept straight right after I went home. I
The day has come, and it is already the campaign period. Me and my clubmates gathered here before we started campaigning. Elena said we'll just have a quick recap of the platforms we have, and other important details so that we won't cause any problems later on. I'm feeling kind of nervous because this is the first time I am doing this. I am afraid I might do wrong, give off a bad image towards the other students or make anything that will dislike me from them. In the past few days, I've made up my mind. Working on those documents for almost a month gave me so much understanding about what we are really trying to achieve. I've learned about the responsibilities that maybe put on my shoulders, as well as the role I am aspiring for. Honestly, it wasn't easy that I've been in the situation where I want to give up. However, through those, I also learned about loving it. I know I've been saying a lot to myself, and even joking about it through my clubmates that I don't really want to co
On the following days, my routine continues, campaign. I haven't been able to attend classes that much because of this campaigning. I also don't have time to spend with my friends. Moreover, I am so exhausted and tired. But above all this, I am happy because I can see that the numbers of people supporting us kept on increasing. There are students who are promoting us to others, and I thank them for that. At least we can gather more students to vote for us. Now we're in our last room before getting lunch. I am really tired, I badly need to rest. I hope Elena can sense how exhausted each one of us is. I'll take care of that later, for now, I'll just focus on what we need to do. It took us about 30 minutes to finish, and now it's time to eat, finally. I also wanted to sleep, but I haven't been able to have some decent sleep these past few days. When I went home, I did my academic work, and it's quite a lot so I don't really have time to rest. "Okay guys, you did a great job for toda
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
"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
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
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
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
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
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
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,
