“Why?”
That was what came out of my mouth after Jada said that. Why does it feel like everything is not going my way? I don’t really like the idea of having Rei around. I don’t like being close to her again, even just the thought of eating with her during breaks makes me want to get out of the place we’re in. But, I know that I can’t leave our group just because Rei is present. I can’t just also ask Jada to take her out of the group.
“Why not? She’s one of the few students here who know about us. She personally asked me to join this group because she wants to teach someone a lesson for killing her cousin,” Jada informed us, and my eyes went wide at the information. I know Rei’s cousin, she was a sweet girl with a kind heart, I didn’t know she was dead! What does her death have to do with ou
I didn’t know if I was being too protective, but it felt like Jada noticed me being too defensive for my girlfriend, so she made the others ignore whatever I am going to say about the “suspects.” Funny of her to do that, isn’t she scared that I can easily dump them and tell Amelia all their plans? But then again, I could never do that. I have only met them for a few months, but what we went through as a group and our teamwork as we work with each other has already made them important to me.They made me understand this important thing called not turning a blind eye over something bad being done in front of you. I know that was what this school has been doing throughout the years, and I finally understood the importance of standing up for the people being hurt by those who are stronger than them.I know that the school’s student cou
When evening came, I ate dinner as fast as I could when I noticed that Amelia hasn’t talked to me ever since she saw both me and Rei too close to each other. I didn’t know what to do a while ago when Rei caught me off guard when she suddenly cornered me on a wall, and as if right on time, there came Amelia, and instead of helping me get out of the situation, she just looked at me, with that expressionless face of hers before acting as if she didn’t see anything.I wanted to yell at her to help me get out of that situation, but knowing how Rei isn’t trustworthy, I acted as if I also didn’t know her. I hated our setup, but I knew she also hated it too, and one thing is for sure, that big baby is jealous.It was the way her lips turned into a pout d
I never had the opportunity to talk too much in my past relationship when it comes to serious topics, I had always been treated like some ignorant bitch who can’t do relationships. It was one of my insecurities back then, I hated how my opinions weren’t heard by the girl I once loved. But now, sitting on Amelia’s lap in our maroon colored sofa that smelled like it was sprayed with rose extract as she was listening to my story made me realize that I wasn’t ignorant, it was just that I was trying to talk to someone before who doesn’t want to listen to me.“Rei was my ex. I don’t know how she was able to transfer here, but I swear what you saw there a while ago meant nothing! I wasn’t doing any nasty thing behind your back, I would never do that to you,” I told her, my sincerity pouring, because I know for myself that when I love someone, I don’t look for other people, and would only focus on the person I love. My mum d
I woke up with Amelia’s arms wrapped around my waist. I smiled at the sight of her sleeping face, she looked so adorable and I badly wanted to pinch her cheeks since it was squished in the pillow, making it appear bigger. I love mornings like this, and as much as I wanted to stay, I knew I couldn’t.Before falling asleep last night, Jada texted our group chat, informing us to go to their room since we’ll be talking about the possible suspect for Rei’s cousin. I wanted to tell them that I don’t want to go since it’s a Saturday, but of course I could never decline or say no. Ever since I said that I would be in this group, the day I agreed, I knew it had become my responsibility. And if my mum ever found out about it, and if she were in my shoes right now, I knew she would always choose the school over her bed where her lover is laying down.
“Where are you going?!” I yelled, but Sea seems like in her own world, and looks like she doesn’t want to answer my question. I wanted to tell her to stop moving away from our school but she was so busy crying that it felt like she could hear nothing but her sobs.I went after her, and I saw how she was shocked when I grabbed her arm and pulled her to a place where there was shade since it was already summer here, and the sun was shining so brightly, a contrast to Sea’s gloomy mood.“Why are you here? You should get back there. Everything’s fine there now, nobody will ever hurt you there anymore,” she told me, a sad smile appearing in her lips, but it soon vanished because she started crying again, and this time, she covered her face so I wouldn’t be able to see her crying.
“No sleeping during meetings!” I heard Jada yelling at me, so I just said I was sorry, and before I knew it, my mind was flying away again.I knew for a fact that when Jada wore her glasses, I wouldn’t be able to go back to my room where Amelia might possibly be waiting for me, still in her nightgown, and she might also be sipping from her daily morning coffee that is so strong I wished to have never tasted it.I messaged her, saying that I am in an emergency meeting with friends, and she just replied with a “okay” and a heart emoji. I sure hoped that it was really okay for her, because I don’t want her to feel that I’m neglecting her. That was far from what I’m doing. All my mind could even think about is her, all I want to do right now is run away from this room and go back to her and give her a hug and ki
‘How much do I know about my girlfriend?’ That was the question that kept on repeating inside my head. I always knew Amelia from what she wanted me to see, but I never totally knew her. It’s like even though we kissed and are even in a relationship, it still felt as if she’s a mystery. A big one. It made me wonder why she hadn’t really opened up to me. I know I shouldn’t force her, but we would always remind each other that we would be rant buddies, but it has always been me who she would listen to, and when I ask her how her day went, she would immediately change the topic, as if talking about it would make her go mad.“What are you trying to hide from me?” I whispered as I looked outside the window. The class is just about to start, and despite wanting to sleep some more, I was glad it was now Monday. Saturday
“The best secrets are the most twisted.”― Sara Shepard, TwistedAfter reading that quote from one of the books we have to read for our Literature class, I couldn’t help but remember Amelia. Of course, I would think of her. She was the biggest mystery I have in my life right now aside from Sea. I wanted to get to know her better. I actually feel guilty because it seems like I was the one who hasn't really done anything to make her share more about herself. Was I too self centered that I wasn’t able to know more about my lover?But at the same time, I was scared. What if the things I found out wouldn’t be what I expected it to be? What if Amelia wasn’t the perfect student everybody thought of her? What if she wasn’t really the best daughter that has ever existed in our town that her family brags about? What do I
