Nattie was the first person that called me when I was just opening my front door. Never had anybody been on such perfect timing but then again, who was I kidding? We had a connection like that.
“Mr. Jeremy, my favorite teacher.”
I didn’t realize I rolled my eyes until I did. Unable to hold the laughter from spluttering out of my lips, I stopped trying.
“Your favorite teacher?” I asked.
Nattie made a sound low in her throat and the blood shot down to my stomach. I almost forgot how good she sounded and I wanted to fault myself, to look at me with pity for getting turned on just by a mere sound. I would have done that if I didn’t know that what she did was intended to get to me in that way. Why else would she just moan unprovoked, into my fucking ears.
I pushed my door open. “What

STACYMax: I look forward to Mondays now.Me: Nobody looks forward to Mondays.Max: Because they don’t get to sit with you on Mondays.I bit my bottom lip, desperately trying to end the blush that was creeping up my face, spreading from my neck to my cheek and straining till it even neared my forehead. This much redness wasn’t what I was used to so I slipped my phone into my pants pocket and bit my lip again before pushing my dorm door open.I was also trying to trace how and when we got to this point, Max and I. After our class last week, he followed me around campus until I agreed to give him my number, then he walked away when I was ordering a cup of coffee.I remembered feeling some type of way, like he didn’t really like me, like him getting my hunger successfully was just a way to massage his ego because

JEROMENattie’s house smelt like roses and citrus. The familiar scent of the place washed over me as soon as I stepped in and just like that, I had lost to the thoughts. I had forgotten to stop my mind from crossing the dangerous waters, from tethering on the edge of what we used to be, what we weren’t meant to be anymore.Nattie walked around her center table and stuck something on her bookshelf. It was a setup which housed more photos than it was for books.Natalie took a lot of trips during the summer break and she lived to take pictures of the scenery she faced. It didn’t matter if it was a simple beach photo, something as magical as seashells or something as haphazard as her load before she stuffed then into the blue box, she always captured them in ways that made you stop and stare.There were about five of them, two on the lowest shelf level, one on

STACYLisa was in the room with Bridget and I had given then some privacy. Now I knew that the way I felt on the first day I met her, like I was intruding on some private moment, was because I indeed was.The funny thing was we had not properly spoken about it. Somehow, between classes and turning in assignments, we had not had the time to have the conversation and it didn’t seem like a random conversation that could be brought up just in passing. I didn’t want to rush her and I was hoping that she would tell me soon in her own time.I crossed my legs and glanced in the direction of our dorm room. There was no sign of Lisa or Bridget. Today was Friday. The weekend was here again. The party for the new students had been shifted to Saturday instead of tonight for reasons unknown to me.I had heard the news from Karen but Max confirmed it over the phone. And yes, di

JEROMEStacy’s message buzzed my phone. The sound was short but loud enough that it got my attention, vibrating the desk on which I had dropped it. It was back in the room while I was on the balcony, staring at the darkening blue-black clouds.I don’t know who I was expecting it to be. Maybe Nattie, maybe Kingston. They were after all the last people I had spoken to before I got home and met Stacy and Lisa lounged on my couch, snacking on popcorn and watching a reality show. I also thought it could be someone from school, someone from the movie makers and because of all these maybes, I had forced myself to get up and check who was texting me at ten pm in the night.It wasn’t anyone of them, to my disappointment and also to my relief. It was Stacy. The last time Stacy and I texted, I couldn’t even remember the last time that happened.I found myself st

STACY“I hate it.”“I think it’s cute. It’s this little pixie bob look and I think she’s pulling it off well.”“She was better with long hair.” I drape my hands over my chest and read the writings on the material.One word, one word I wished I could be for real and for one person. It seemed that no matter what I did, we always ended up back where we started, fighting in that kitchen.Temptress was written with little glittering stones, bright pink, a shade more bubbly than the rest of the crop top.It was a cute small top and because of how small it was, it made my boobs look at least two times bigger.

STACYWe got a cab to campus, then we walked to the dorm, hoping we could kill as much time as possible. Parties like this didn’t start until it was late late and here we were, ready by Seven Pm.Lisa was scrolling through her phone while her speaker blasted the type of songs party animals our age listened to. Songs that spoke about drugs, sex, love, life. A little bit of everything, good and bad with the rock band going crazy and the instrumentals weaving sounds that moved our heads.We stopped outside campus and nestled on the bench we had been on yesterday evening when I waited for her and Bridget.Lisa crossed her legs while I clamped mine shut. Since night was approaching, it was getting breezy and chilly outside. I however wasn’t going to regret my choice of clothes because I knew that in a few hours time, when we will be in the cramped up space, drinking b

JEROMEThings weren’t always this complex. I tried to think beautiful thoughts. I stood in the driver way, staring at the one thing I shouldn’t be looking at in the state I was in, my bike, as I tried to remember something, anything that didn’t make my heart feel like it was closing in on me.I wished that was an exaggeration. I really wished.I wanted to smash my head against the wall, or against the engine. I wanted to kick things until my legs crammed up and felt sore, until my toes broke and smashed behind my shoe. In simpler teens, I wanted to hurt myself.I tried to think of happy thoughts again? Things that didn’t make me crave silence the way I did; it wasn’t death I was craving exactly, it was peace, silence, an emptiness that felt right, that should feel right.Every attempt was sending me back to when Marilyn w

STACY“Me being in UCLA is what ill call a miracle. It was never meant to be.”“For real?”“Yeah.” I draped my hand on the seat and sipped from my cup. I said I was going to get drunk today and I was still on my second cup of alcohol. Typical Stacy character. Say One thing and chicken out of it a few moments later.“So what changed?”“I didn’t even want to send an application to UCLA, it was Lisa who had pushed for it. She has a brother here so it has always been her dream to be at UCLA. It wasn’t my dream.”“So you’re leaving her dream?”I didn’t like how that sounded but I was glad tha the red and blue dim lights hid my frown. He didn’t have to say I was leaving her dream. Maybe, I wouldn’t have

STACYI still couldn’t believe I had agreed to this. A joint date with Lisa? Lisa and Kiera.The thought swirled in my mind as I stood in front of my mirror, staring at my reflection. My fingers traced the hem of the dress I had picked out—simple, yet flattering enough for what felt like one of the strangest nights of my life.Lisa had convinced me, somehow, to go along with this. I wasn’t even sure how it all happened. One minute, we were awkwardly avoiding each other, and the next, we were laughing about how ridiculous it was that we were going on this double date.I heard a knock on the door and glanced at my phone—Lisa, of course, right on time.“Come in!” I called, still fussing with my hair. The door swung open, and Lisa waltzed in, her usual confidence trailing behind her.

STACYI woke up slowly, the warmth of the blankets making it hard to tell where the bed ended and my body began. The sunlight trickled in through the thin curtains, casting soft streaks of light across the room. For a moment, everything felt serene, like I could stay in this cocoon of warmth and silence forever. Then I realized Jerome wasn’t next to me.I rolled over, blinking sleep from my eyes, and saw the empty space where he should have been. The sheets were crumpled on his side, still warm. I heard the faint sound of water running and figured he must be in the shower. I lay there for a minute, listening to the sound of the water and feeling a strange sense of distance. It was odd, waking up without him beside me. We’d spent the night together, but it hadn’t felt as close as it usually did.I swung my legs over the side of the bed and padded across the cool floor, feeling the chill against my bare feet. The bathroom door was slightly

JEROMEShooting that day had been intense. We were working on one of the final scenes, the kind that was supposed to be raw and emotional, but instead of saving it for later in the production schedule, the producers wanted to get it done early for promotional material. It was all part of the business. We had to sell the movie, and nothing sold better than a sneak peek of a climactic moment.The set was buzzing with activity. Lights were being adjusted, makeup artists hovered nearby, and the crew moved around, setting up equipment and whispering about the next shot. I felt the pressure building, but I was used to it by now. This wasn’t my first film, and it definitely wouldn’t be my last.Chase called for a break, and I seized the opportunity to step away for a bit. I’d been on set all day, and I needed a breather before getting back into the set. Besides, I had something else on my mind. I was supposed to meet up with Stacy after we

STACYLisa had been gushing for weeks about how she was excited to introduce Jerome to Kiera. The way she talked about Kiera, with that glimmer in her eyes, made it impossible not to be happy for her.Everything was going to go fine today, I could already sense it.I was on shift that afternoon, taking orders and serving trays like usual. The restaurant wasn’t too packed, which gave me time to glance around, keep an eye on the door. Part of me was hoping they’d pick another spot, or maybe decide at the last minute that a fancy café was better suited for a first meeting like this. But, of course, that wasn’t Lisa’s style. She loved the casual vibe of Burger Trio, and it was one of the few places where she and Jerome could relax.The good thing was I missed my friends and wanted to see them, the bad thing was I missed my friends and wanted to see them.They made working but hard and pleasurable.I was

It was a responsible step toward her finances, even if it meant we had less time together.That evening, after a long day at work and a quick game of snooker with some friends, I decided to drop by Burger’s Trio, where Stacy worked one of her shifts. I’d been by a couple of times before, usually sneaking in to see her just as her shift ended. Tonight, I hoped I was early enough to catch her in action.As I walked through the door, the

STACYI knew I had to talk to Stacy when I was ten minutes into the lecture.The urge was so primal, so hungry that thee was no escaping it.The class had ended in a rush of students gathering their belongings and shuffling out of their seats. I stood at the front, gathering my notes and trying to maintain my composure.I was watching her pack her stuff, watching her move quickly with her hands.“Mr. Jerome!” one of the guys called out. “Do you have the syllabus handy? I think I missed a few details.”He was one of my students, blonde curly hair, a portion of if swooped across his forehead.“Of course,” I replied, pushing my thoughts of Stacy aside. I had to focus. “Here’s a copy for you.” I handed it to him.“Also, can y

STACYThe morning sun filtered through the curtain and pulled me out of my sleep.I stretched my arms above my head, blinking the sleep from my eyes as the day was about to start.Lisa was already up, rummaging through her drawers, her usual energy evident in the way she moved about. I could hear the faint sound of her humming to herself, a tune that was familiar but not quite memorable.“Morning,” I mumbled, pushing myself up and running a hand through my hair.Lisa turned around, her face lighting up with a smile. “Morning, sleepyhead! We’ve got to get a move on. First day back, remember?”I groaned softly, not quite ready to face the world just yet. The holiday had been a mix of relaxation and catching up on things we’d neglected during the semester, but the thought of diving back into classes already felt a bit overwhelming.Lisa, on the other hand, who was not an early riser, was rath

JEROMETime came and went by quickly, stealing through spaces, like a flash and somehow, it was the day for Stacy and Lisa to turn back to school.The day started off quietly, the kind of calm that usually precedes something big. I had to wake up earlier than usual, mostly because I wanted to get things done before picking them up.It was also hard to oversleep when you were seeing the love of your life.They were flying back today, and though I wasn’t exactly looking forward to the reunion, I wanted to at least make sure everything was in order before they got here.My apartment was a mess, and it didn’t take long to realize that cleaning up would take more effort than I had thought. Empty cups on the table, laundry that I had somehow forgotten to do all week, and the constant pile-up of papers and things I should have sorted ages ago. It was all there, waiting for me, mocking my attempts at getting my life together.The f

STACYWe touched down in Ohio some minutes ago, found our luggage and went in search for Lisa’s Mun who was waving at us with a bright smile and a placard that read, COLLEGE STARS.It was so embarrassing and if I didn’t have anyone to drive me to the city, I would have ditched Lies there and then.Sitting in the backseat of Lisa’s mom’s car, I stared out the window, watching as the city passed by in a blur. It was strange being back home, like slipping into a familiar jacket that somehow didn’t fit quite right anymore. Lisa was in the front passenger seat, rummaging through her Mum’s bag.I Could almost still sense Jerome sitting beside me. Almost.The more we drove into the city, the further everything that happened before felt like a dream. The affair between me and Jerome, the fallout with Lisa, the endless exams—it all felt like a dream now, like something that had happened to someone else.
