The school break of Angelo solely focused on his part-time job. Since he wanted to buy- a new phone- to replace the mobile phone that- was stolen by; Mark. Angelo was also unlucky since he was also unable- to retrieve the phone from Mark; even though he had already reported it to the police, so without a choice, Angelo decided to apply for a part-time job. Another unfortunate thing- that happened to Angelo during his school break was that- he was unable to attend the party- that was organized- by their; seniors. Since his phone- which had a special; QR code for the party was- in the hands of Mark. Angelo also can't call Cassandra, and it's all because his phone was in the possession; of Mark. He could only grit his teeth every time he remembered that unlucky day.
After a few weeks- of working different part-time jobs, Angelo was finally successful in buying the latest phone model- that w
Angelo waited for a long time for Mark to hand over his phone to him, but even if his arms started to hurt, Angelo still didn't feel the weight of the phone in his palm."How long are you going to rummage your pocket; does it have a black hole in it- that's why it's taking you a long time to hand over my phone?" with a raised brow, Angelo inquired Mark with irritation.Mark just smiled at Angelo before continuing in searching- for Angelo's phone inside of his pocket. It took a few more minutes- that almost half of; the lunch break had- been utilized before Mark had finally found the phone he was- searching since.As soon as Mark had discovered the phone in his pocket, he promptly handed it to Angelo. The moment Angelo felt the phone on his palm, he hurriedly inspected the phone- to be
When Angelo had finally gotten home, he was welcomed by his parents with many questions- that it had almost drowned Angelo alive in the sea of inquiries. It was past midnight when Angelo had successfully escaped the interrogation- of his parents, and with a heavy body, Angelo plops his tired body on the soft mattress. Angelo was sleeping peacefully that night- that he didn’t notice that it was already morning. His alarm clock also didn’t produce any sound-making Angelo; scurry- over on his feet to get to his classroom. With a disarrayed appearance, Angelo arrived at his class while panting for air. His classmates looked at Angelo with weird faces- curious why their class president had arrived for the first in school late. Seeing; the strange looks that- his classmates had been giving him. Angelo could only awkwardly smile and head towards his; seat. A mere second when he was almost near his; seat, Angelo came face to face with the person who- had caused him a lot of;
That day was the last time both Angelo and Mark talked with each other. Since after their; confrontation- both of them decided to avoid each other. If Angelo would go to the right, then Mark would head to the left. If Mark would use the front door of the classroom, then Angelo would use the back door. They were evading each other, obviously that their classmates couldn’t help but look at both Angelo and Mark’s actions- with frustration as they grit their teeth in nervousness. “Bro, what happened between you and Mark?” Jun could not withstand his curiosity anymore. So he decided- to approach Angelo and inquire about the real reason; why there was so much awkwardness between Angelo and Mark. “It’s not just me that- had noticed the weird atmosphere between the both of you. All of us are walking on eggshells because of the two of you. So to make the air around this room return to its original state, I was tasked with the most important; mission, by our classmates- to gat
As soon as the whole- class was; dismissed. The students then formed into a small group- that is- made up of their close friends. As they gathered into each of their respective groups, they seriously discussed how they would spend their entire afternoon. Some groups suggested that they go to the computer- to play a game, others who didn’t want to spend money suggested that- they spend their time in a friend’s house- that is nearer to the school. While; the majority opted to go to the arcade center to enjoy their time. Since Angelo had had no backup plans- when something such as canceling of class happened. He decided to; follow most people and opt to go to the arcade center together with Jun. Surprisingly, Mark had also joined with them. There were a total of; twelve students- who decided to; go to the arcade center- including Angelo, Mark, and Jun. A total of three taxis was called to fit the students that had decided to go to the arcade center. The destinat
Mark and Jun were eyeing towards the direction of Angelo- who was enjoying his time talking with the girl he had just approached. Jun then began to; squint his eyes; since the girl that- Angelo was talking to was; somewhat familiar to; him. Jun gave a knowing smile when he realized the identity- of the woman- that was chatting with Angelo. As Jun is a person who- can’t keep his discovery to himself, he then shared- his findings with the person beside him. “Looks like the dare we’ve come up is too easy for our class president,” When Jun was sure that Mark was listening to him. He then pointed to the direction of the woman- who was laughing heartily beside Angelo. “See that woman over there? That lady was once the partner of our dear class president during the group date that- had been organized by our seniors a few months ago.” Mark then looks at the woman that Jun was pointing to, his face devoid of any emotions- as if the information given to him by Jun was;
Angelo was not convinced of what Mark had said unto him since he felt that- the man was planning something behind his back. He looked at Mark as if scrutinizing the entirety- of the man in front of him; seeing that Mark’s eyes held no ulterior motive in them, Angelo decided to rest his case. He would just let things take its course since whatever is bound to happen will happen in no time. There’s was no need to stress himself in an event- that still wasn’t happening in real-time. Removing his probing look on Mark, he then decided to follow behind Mark. When Angelo got near to; where Cassandra was playing- with the claw machine. He smiled at her and volunteered to get the stuffed toy- that she wanted. But Cassandra rejected Angelo’s; offer and instead looked at Mark with puppy eyes as if- telling Mark to get the stuffed toy in her stead. Mark looked at Angelo first- with a smirk before smiling at; Cassandra with a gentleman’s smile. Seeing how fast the expression on M
The three of them as; soon as they had arrived- inside of their school premises had; parted ways like- the speed of lightning. They didn’t even have a chance to have a conversation with each other before they left for their respective homes. The moment Angelo arrived at his home, he went directly to his bedroom and immediately climbed into the comforts of his mattress. He slept soundly and securely that night since his slumber was devoid of any dreams. When Angelo woke up, Angelo felt able to; sleep- to his heart’s content- last night. Feeling the freshness of morning in his surroundings, Angelo stretched and popped his joints as he walks- to his bathroom. He was; humming the tune of some unfamiliar song while he brushed his teeth; the event yesterday was shoved in the back of his mind. Angelo was glad he was; able to move on fast from the heartbreak that- Cassandra had to incur to; him. Taking a last look at his face- in the mirror, Angelo smiled before changing int
After the conversation with the homeroom teacher that day, Angelo, like usual, busied himself with the various works that- the teacher had assigned to him. While Angelo was trying to; bury himself from juggling- to prepare for joining a; competition and studying for his lessons. He started to question himself as to; why he was trying too hard in school. “Is it really; necessary- for him to; study hard? For whose recognition will it be; is it for his own or the school?” as he was wallowing in self-pity, Angelo’s phone suddenly vibrated. His negative thoughts immediately vanished, and the curiosity of; who had texted him emerged from his mind. Fetching the phone from his pocket, Angelo glace at the name of the person who- had texted him. To say that- Angelo was not surprised would be a lie- when he had seen the; name of; who had texted him. Angelo ignored the message and just shoved his phone back inside of his pocket. He; then continued in answering his assign
It was a typical yet bustling day inside a particular supermarket; the reason for its overly busy day was all because the people were trying to benefit from the clearance sale held inside the establishment. While most people were having a fierce battle in buying the goods that had an enormous amount slashed from the original price, a single distinct person was trying to avoid the large crowds of people.That person is a woman who was distinctive among the crowds of people since she is the only woman wearing an overly large dress and sporting a swollen belly. As she lightly rubs her belly, the woman looks at the crowded people with envy before looking at her big stomach. The woman smiled when she felt a light kick in her stomach. She then turned her body in the crowd's opposite direction and tried to grab a box of cereals in the utmost section of the shelf.The woman tried to stand on her toes as she tried to reach the cereal, and when she could not get even a single bo
“I’m going to go back to my room,” Aimie tried to steady her breathing since she was flustered by Mark’s back hug. “You better leave now if you don’t want to stay on the road driving the whole night.” “I know you’re mad because of what I have told you during the party, and I don’t know what to do for your anger to vanish. Tell me what I should do for you to forgive me.” Angelo muttered as he leaned his face on the nook of Aimie’s neck. Aimie felt the breathing of Mark against her neck; goosebumps instantly appeared all over her body because of how close Mark was to her. For a moment, Aimie doesn’t know what to do with how things progress, it was just a few minutes ago when Mark was leisurely sitting on the couch with a haughty look on his face, but now he was trying to earn her forgiveness. This action of Mark made Aimie feel weird since, although she had grown used to Mark’s loving gestures, it was her first time to see him sincerely ask for forgiveness. Tho
Thinking about those things made Aimie unconsciously shed a tear. She felt that her life would be simple now than when she was still Angelo, but she didn’t expect to experience so much heartache in Aimie’s body.If she had the chance to see the original Aimie next time, she would be sure to ask for a reward from her since all that was given to her was grief when she had possessed the original Aimie’s body. She made a mental note to take all the money of the real Aimie, including her pocket money, to spend it lavishly for her around the world voyage after this whole ordeal is done.Her daydreaming came to a halt when Mark unexpectedly wiped the tears that accumulated from the corner of her eyes. Aimie winced and was about to back away from Mark when Mark had tightened her hold on her waist suddenly.“What do you think are you doing?” Aimie tried to create some distance away from Mark using all the force her body had, and as she did s
It was as if time had stopped between the adults that were inside the house. No one wanted to break the heavy atmosphere around them, as if they were all comfortable about their hefty feelings. But soon, the suffocating feeling vanished when a loud wail of the child that Aimie was holding was heard throughout the entire house of Rain.They simultaneously looked at the child in Aimie’s arms with a look that was a combination of curiousness, bewilderment, anxiousness, and peevishness. While the attention was still on the child, Aimie glanced at Angelus’s way; her gaze was full of pleading since she didn’t know what to do with the child in her arms.Before the child’s wail could escalate, Angelus had fortunately seen the look of help in Aimie’s eyes. Angelus quickly took his younger sister in Aimie’s arms and carried his younger sister with a bottle of milk in his other hand.“Do you perhaps have a spare room so that my you
The soft and white ball with a pair of chubby hands and feet hugged Angelus tightly, and because of the height difference between the soft as mochi child and Angelus, the lovely child could only hug Angelus’s leg.The child’s big pair of sparkling eyes, completed with plump reddish cheeks, would make anyone feel in love with the lovable child. Seeing the cute interaction between Angelus and the adorable child made Aimie feel jealous since she also wanted to pinch the child’s chubby cheeks.While Aimie was dying in enviousness, the child hugging the leg of Angelus suddenly looked at Aimie’s way, making Aimie flinch for a second before giving the child a friendly smile. Even if she wanted to hug the child but given her current situation, it seems Aimie couldn’t act friendly with the cute child since she is just a stranger.Unbeknownst to Aimie, she gave a facial expression, a; mixture of longing and sadness that the child couldn&rsquo
Standing in front of a familiar place, Aimie’s conviction of living the life of the original Aimie faltered slowly. The once place she never thought she would get to see again was now before her. Aimie wanted to curse out whoever was playing with her conviction. The resoluteness she had of not seeing the parents Angelo had grown up with fell down the drain the instant she was standing right in front of the house that had the memories of the family she had missed so much.As Aimie was standing right in front of the house, recollection of the past flashed through her.Every time Angelo returned home, this house would greet him, and though his parents rarely returned home because of work, it didn’t feel like the abode was empty. The lingering warmth didn’t make him think that this house made him lonely, but why does this house who would always bring him comfort now feel as though it had become melancholic.“Is it alright for me to be here?&r
Suddenly, the memories of the past had flashed through Aimie’s mind. From how friendship was formed between Angelo and Mark. Their unruly days as students and how they formed deep friendships were shattered because of a single misunderstanding. The mouth that opened instantly closed, and whatever harsh words she was about to say to Mark were stuck in her throat. No matter how much Aimie wanted to hate Mark like in the past but seeing the man she had cherished for long as a close confidant, Aimie could not totally despise the man in front of her.Tracing the man’s fine features in front of her made Aimie realize that she had totally fallen for Mark. No matter how she denies it, it can’t hide the fact that she could not hide her feelings. Though she had already realized that she had feelings for Mark when the original Aimie and her met, it wasn’t like this moment when she could not hide it completely.The attraction she had for the man was undenia
After Aimie had sent her resignation letter via the courier service, she made her way to the meeting place that Angelus had texted her earlier. As she went to the area, Aimie’s heart was widely beating since she could finally see her family after a few months. While the car was making its way to the place, Aimie contemplated how she would act towards her family. Whether she would be respectful or nonchalant, Aimie was confused. It has been a long time since she hadn’t seen her own family, the family whom she had grown up to, her original family- Angelo’s family, whom her original self had promised to protect. And one thing that Aimie is sure would be hard to do when she meets her parents is to control herself from not crying in front of her parents.The moment the car that Rain had lent to her had finally come to a stop. Aimie looked at the tall building that was as if reaching the sky because of its height. While looking out of the car, Aimie contemplated h
As soon as Aimie arrived at their meeting area, she could not tidy her swollen face since Rain was already standing a few meters away. Rain had a look that hinted she was curious why the face of Aimie had gotten to the point of being swollen red like she had been crying for a long time.“What happened to you?” just like what Aimie had expected, Rain inquired why she had gotten to the point of being unrecognizable.Aimie wanted to just drop the matter, so instead of truthfully answering that she happened to cross paths with Mark, Aimie came up with another plausible reason why her face was in so much mess.“It’s because of the movie that I watched while waiting for you to arrive,” Aimie deduced that using this reason was more effective than telling Rain that- she had tripped on the air and cried for hours.But it seems Rain didn’t believe Aimie’s story since she was looking at Aimie with scrutinizing eyes, but rega
