TODAY is finally the day of our set ups for Scott and Becca. We already prepared plan A to Z if ever that he failed to say his feelings again, and we are just going to stop if Becca said it herself... That she doesn’t want to do anything with Scott which hopefully, would not happen to our dear friend.
“He’s here! Scott is walking towards our office!” Nathan exclaimed all of the sudden, before dragging me towards the small cabinet in our office.
After we entered, we closed its doors shut, before we waited for Scott to enter the office. When he did, he sat down on the small couch, looking around the place as if he was searching for us. When he couldn’t, he sighed, before his eyes turned into our direction, making Nathan and I to be held back.
Nathan held my shoulders, pulling me away from the hole where we are looking at Scott. T
The continuation... “I’M sorry, Tyler. But I can’t be with a loser like you.” Those words coming from Freeda shocked everyone, including Nathan and I. “What do you mean by that?” Tyler asked. “I don’t want to be your girlfriend anymore. You’re such a cheater. And I’m not coming back to someone who’s not as interested as he is last year.” Everyone was terrified, witnessing the rejection of our school bad boy from the cheerleader captain, Freeda Samson. They can’t possibly believe what is happening, and most of them are holding on to the last string of hope that Freeda can still change her mind if ever. But it didn’t happened. Then again, I remembered that not all set ups could lead into a brighter side of things... Some just ended up like this... To ruin each other’s reputation just like what happened to Becca and our dear friend, Scott. But even so, only one question remain in my mind... Why do Freeda needs to publicl
NOW that Scott is finally back, there is only one person whom we are going to wait for... And that was Becca. The principal advised us to help the other committees in preparing our prom for this year, one thing that most of us are excited about. But yet, we can’t start the meeting not until we are finally complete. So for now, the only thing that we can do was to ask Scott what really happened yesterday.“So... What really happened, dude?” Nathan asked him.“I don’t know. Everything just went extremely fast, and the next thing I knew, I’m already confessing my feelings to Becca. But when she rejected my love for her, stating that she still likes you, I still tried my best to chase her... I mean, literally chase her.”“And what did she say?” I asked, joining into the conversation.“She said that she can’t force herself to love me back, because that was impossible.
WRONG. Because I didn’t do it only for a day. Ever since that moment, Tyler often asked for my help, to the point that he even took me to his home to have our tutoring sessions together. I didn’t tell Nathan about it, since I knew that he wouldn’t allow me to go. And also, I trust Tyler enough that he wouldn’t do anything bad towards me.“Here... Maybe we can do it here. Forgive me for my rubbish home,” he stayed, before clearing the table from the bottles of bear spread across of it.“It’s alright... Can I suggest something? Maybe you could use a little bit lights to make your home brighter. I mean, this apartment is not that bad.”“No. If I were you, I wouldn’t touch anything. My father would be mad as fuck. Sorry for the word.”“Oh... But why? I mean... Is there something wrong with him?”“Do you remember the time that you called me out
“BREAK up with him, Natalia. This is not you...” he demanded, as if he owns my life.“No! Why can’t you just be happy for me, Nathan? Is it because it’s Tyler? If you’re thinking like that because he is known as the bad boy, then think again, Nat. You don’t know him that much. Just let him prove it to me that he deserves me... Just please give him a chance first...”“I don’t know him? Maybe yes, and neither do you.” I rolled my eyes upon him, getting annoyed at the fact that he’s not supporting my decisions in life anymore. And then he said something that completely changed the way I looked at him. He used my manual against me, one thing that is highly unacceptable for myself.“How about your manual, huh? I thought there is a rule written on that shit that you would never ever date a guy? What happened to you, Natalia?!”“I don’t rea
TOMORROW night will be our prom, yet nobody asked me to be their date yet. Tyler is not telling me anything about it, and I also don’t what to initiate something because that would make me look like I was too desperate to have a date for that night. I sighed, before I decided to go to the comfort room, hoping that I can release the nervousness that I have in there. Aside from the prom, I’m also thinking about Nathan and his mom. It was confirmed, they left the country to go somewhere else... Without even bidding a single good bye to any of us, even Scott, his next closest friend. I took a deep breath, before I decided to go out of the cubicle. But as I was about to, I heard a familiar voices laughing outside, making me stop for a moment. It was Freeda and her squad.“Yes, queen. I’m sure that your plan will be successful. All we need is a little bit of within for us, alright?” it was L
“MAY I have this dance?” he asked me.“Of course...” I took his hand, before he led me to the dance floor. He put my hands around his neck, before he wrapped his around my waist. And just like that, the two of us began swaying with the music. I just wish that my bestfriend is here... That Nathan is here to witness everything that we can see tonight.“Are you alright? Why do you look so sad?” Tyler asked me, making me come back to my senses.“Nothing... I just wish that... My bestfriend if here. Nathan is gone, Tyler. Just like that. And the last thing we did together is to fight.”“Fight about me? I’m sorry, Natalia. I didn’t mean to be the cause of that. I just... I wanted to be with you. That is all I ever wanted, Nat.”“It’s alright. It’s not your
SENIORS. Our last year in high school. Everything definitely went into a flash. I never thought that I will nearly survive the most difficult, yet most memorable part of my life. It’s just Scott and me now, though I could still never forget the way how Nathan treated me as his bestfriend before. It’s been a year since he left, yet here I am, still hoping that he will come back for me to be able to apologize for everything... Including when I chose not to listen to him before. I continued sending him mails, and that makes rule number twenty-eight of my manual, which is, “Never give up.” Since it was already our last year in high school, Scott and I decided not to run for the school council officials anymore. We just wanted to enjoy life, the way it is and our last year being in Jackson High. Just like last year, I decided to meet up with Scott first before lo
MONTHS passed by. I thought that I will be able to enjoy my last year in high school but I didn’t, because Nathan keep on ignoring me. I even ask for Scott’s help but to no avail. I’m slowly losing against time since I knew that once we applied for college, there is a possibility that I won’t be able to see him again. The school festival is coming nearer and nearer, so the students became busier than the passed few days. Scott and Nathan became our leaders when it comes to creating a booth for the festival, and they are too busy planning for it so I decided to come home alone. But then, while walking near the parking lot of the school, I stopped, seeing Tyler staring at my direction, while resting upon his motorcycle. The moment that he saw my face, he immediately stood up, before walking towards me.“Natalia...”“Tyler...” I blankly stated, not knowing ho
