- HAZEL - I hate being on periods. It’s the next thing close to hell a lady passes through every single month. Like a tiny reminder that we’ve got a grudge with nature by not bearing fruits and ‘multiplying’ an already filled up earth. I roll my eyes. Being pregnant is no different. I have seen
- HAZEL - I laugh, covering my mouth with my palm as I stuff it with grilled meat held in a chopstick. Carol and I are in a Korean restaurant and we are grilling our own steak. I like this aspect of this place because I can heat it up to my satisfaction so it suits my taste. “That’s one of the
- HAZEL - Two long hours. If that isn’t enough to curse at nature then I don’t know what is. I finished my take away meal on my way here while checking on Killian via text. I feel so horrible that he had to wait for two long hours for me. I wonder if he’s still here. I hope he is. With the slig

- KILLIAN - I walk inside the hall. The moment I make my way to the front, I hear the chatter slowly die down. I drop my tab and laptop on the desk in front and sigh, my eyes soaking in every student in the hall till it lands on my Hazel. A comforting smile forms on my face. “Hello students.” I
- KILLIAN - Someone knocks on my door. I look up. I really hope it’s not one of the professors or school staff. Worst case scenario, it’s Lorelai. “Come in.” Someone pushes the door forward gently and a figure pops out from the side sheepishly. She finally lets her full body to my sight and I
