He could never forget it, the past, the crimes and the joy of seeing them suffer. He took no pity while batting them in their heads, in fact it was pure amusement, a smile and laughter as he enjoyed seeing their faces dyed in blood. He regretted it.

It’s 8 am in the morning dummy!” His younger brother named woke up her up, he pulled April from her dreamy slumber.

He sat on his usual spot where he used to eat with April but not it’s him and the others. “Do you have news about her?” he asked Jill for the fifteenth time and all he got was the same response. A listless look in her eyes, “No, I have no idea.” But Wayne didn’t buy it. He was dead worried, after all he knew they both live near each other. “Something must have happened.” He doubted his words and kept poking for answers. “Nothing, she’s just probably sick.” Jill replied. She soon left them and head back to their class. “Did they just got into fight with each other or something?” Hori suspected. “I don’t think so, that’s impossible.” Joy who knew them both for a long time defen

-It cost a date- Lovely but freezing saturdays, he checked the mirror to see if he looked okay. He wore a black hoodie and maroon polo shirt underneath, a navy chino paired with grey canva shoe. He picked his Retina Vanilla tobacco parfum. Wayne prayed on his lower jaw, chest and wrist. A shallow breath on his palm to check his mouth, a minty fresh feeling implied that he was ready. Jill told her where they live, a delighted smile as he left his room and climb down stairs. However, the glee was cut after remembering how he got April’s address. It was a deal that he finds it hard to accept. After Jill bathe herself on the euphoria of hugging Wayne, she stood up and stretched her arms and legs. “That really felt good.” She told him.

The obnoxious voices from their family were inexistent for the past few days. My family were concerned about April and they seemed to understands what she had been through, they all adjusted for her. They all kept shut and gave her space to mourn and cry. “Sis, wake up and let's eat please?" April’s youngest brother who is the nefarious one, a teaser and prankster was subtle for 4 days straight. April was all alone in her room crying as if someone had died.

She leaned her head on Jill’s shoulder, it reminds of hill and its meadowy scent. “You look well dress, are you going on a date?” “No.” She quickly answered. She looked away and examined the room. It’s been a long time since she came here. She had the same thought as April, she stood up and looked exasperate. “You should burn your room” She suggested. Her eyes roamed again to see if she was right, she gave a nod and said, “yeah! We should burn it. It reeks with Jm’s presence.” April agreed, a lot of things in her room reminded her of Jm. “Yes, I am planning to do that.” She had doleful eyes, and began to wept.

What lies ahead Exams had arrived, casting a blissful spell upon the air. Jill and Wayne found themselves seated together on the grass, their gaze fixed on the open field bustling with fellow high school students. Jill turned toward Wayne, her curiosity getting the better of her. "What do you want to do next? Are you still staying here?" Wayne nodded, a small smile gracing his lips. "Yeah." "That's good to hear. Another school year with you," Jill teased, a playful raise of her eyebrow adding to the moment. "Oh my God, now that you're looking at me like that, I'm beginning to regret my decision," Wayne replied, shaking his head. "Eeeh? Don't be like that," Jill continued to playfully banter. "But I guess school's kinda fun when you're around," he admitted, a warm smile of appreciation lighting up his face. "This semester was unexpectedly fun." "Never imagined the day I would be able to talk with you. I guess all it took was luring you using April, oops," she said, slipping up a

FORGIVENESS THAT HE THOUGHT HE COULDN’T GIVE There was still an hour left before he met his father, but Wayne wanted to leave already. The class was still ongoing as he waited. He was bothered with questions, he did say that he wanted to talk to him, which was something that rarely happens. He assumed that he already went back and heard the news, but what now? Will he call him to come home or disown him? He was troubled the whole time. The classroom was quiet, there wasn't much to do. The teacher writes the lesson on the board, while students copy it without question. Jill noticed the weary Wayne, she tapped on his shoulder to ask what’s wrong. “Are you okay? You seem troubled. Do you want to share your problem?” Asked Jill. The young man looked away, avoiding the answer to the question. But he knew Jill would keep buzzing about it, and so after 20 pokes on his cheeks he opened up. “My fathe

Grateful The midterm was just two days ahead. Students cramping to review to finish the project before the deadlines was a common sight to see. April was one of the tardy student who only does her school requirements few days before the given sate. Alongside with Hori and Joy, the two kept bugging Jill. It was 7 am in the morning. The number of students walking in the pathway keep growing. All had the same depressing eyes, exams weren’t a fan favorite in the school, except for smart ass students. But majority of the student in their school was bunch of students having no clue on what they wanted in the future. Joy sighed when she saw Aizen on the school grounds. She was avoiding him for weeks, and somehow hope that he would come visit her out of concern. Thus, she realized there’s no point of chasing him, the guy he likes clearly has no feelings for her. But deep inside Joy feelings remained solid, but not bright enough for her to confessed. The girl sulk and went back

It’s her first time A sense of jealousy spark inside her, she pouted before she approached the gates. There must be some reason why’s she’s here? The girl pondered. She had the gist that the two started living, and her reaction was flushed and slightly annoyed when she thought of it. “I better find it out myself.” She shook her head and opened the gates. Everything felt surreal, yesterday was a painful rejection but a light of hope when he said it was possible. That alone gave her hope to keep going, the two hasn’t started to confess yet, and thus she believed that she had a chance. He was probably tried to be nice, but that didn’t faze Jill.

It was the old corner in t he back close near the windows, the young man stares in the window while girls that passed by wonders what goes on inside his head. She ignored the random blabbering of her teacher and sulked while thinking of him. April noticed her gloomy friend and decided to sneak beside her. She sat on Jill’s friends; her blank state best friend didn’t notice her until she tapped her shoulder. “Are you okay?” She concerningly asked. Jill stared at the window for a second, she thought about the days they used to hang out, the fun memories, and dates. The girl realized the ephemeral and couldn’t to pout because of it. Everything can turn upside down, life is short, and consistently moving. She sighed and ignored April’s words. Agitated, the impatience friend wanted to smack her in the head.

He didn’t look back, his memories from his home were nothing but fear, pain and suffering. The young man partially limps as he felt the pain from the beating that he got. It swollen badly, but he kept walking away. He finally got a place to rest when he reached the closest terminal. The young man waited for a ride. He sat on empty bench with flickering lights above.

The girl looked at Jill who laid in her shoulder, she took a nap and remind her best friend to wake her up once they reach their house. She didn’t except her response, but Jill heard it clearly. The girl opened her eyes and respond. “That’s kinda dumb April. You just said it yourself, and don’t even try to deny.” April looked down; she avoided looking at her friends’ eyes. She wondered what would happen if she and Wayne started dating. Wayne as a boyfriend, I guess I would be a fool if I said no. He played an important role on my break. He would probably be good lover. She reflected back to their kiss, his soft lips, the expected reaction he had. April bit her lips and giggled. “Maybe it wouldn’t be that bad.” “What?” But she soon regrets

The Monster inside his home. He walked home with expectations. The face of her angered mother, the slap that he would get, the harsh words he’ll receive. He smiled bitterly. He tired of the same shit, the absolute rules and the controlling palm of her mother. He never obeyed her in the first place, he never once became the kind child she expected to be. The son a mother would boast in front of their peers, a son who would prove that they are a good mother. All he did was disobey and rebel, thus the feeling of hate between them was mutual. He knew that, and he expected those response. “I’m already fucked up, why bother following the fucked-up rules?” He told himself. Clenched jaw and curled lip, he had enough of his mother. He wanted to stand up for himself. To end the night of horror, to be free from the anxiety that he has each night. Mother is the cata
