"Yeah, man, you're back!" Spencer exclaimed. He and George were seated on the stairs when they noticed me approaching the entrance door. They immediately rushed to me, flashing obnoxious smiles. I gave them a forced smile as we continue to walk.
"You did not inform me that you hosted a party at your place." That was the first thing I spoke to him about as we approached the lockers. I noticed how taken aback he was as he sank into a stupor and shrugged and when I looked at George; he was avoiding my eyes, which prompted me to nod when the realization struck me. I gave them a sneering smile. "Right!" I mumbled sarcastically as displeasure flashed across my face as I walked quickly toward my new locker.
"Wait, man! I-I just..." I shifted my gaze away from him, knowing full well that his explanation w
July 20, 2016 "Archer, have you gotten up yet? You're going to be late for school!" Mildred's voice screamed from the rear of my bedroom door as if it were the end of the world. Because of Mildred, I suddenly realized that my eyes were fixated on the ceiling for almost an hour now,allowing my alarm clock to sound continuous without minding the irritating noise of it grinding my ears. I took a deep breath and clicked my tongue in annoyance before blinking many times to wake up my entire being. I got out of bed and slammed the alarm clock shut. I couldn't believe it was already 5:50 a.m., and our first class is at 6:30 a.m., I'll surely be running off late, but unlike before, I don't have care right now even if I got dragged into the principal's office. Many thoughts race back and forth in the back of my mind, making it impossible for me to digest t
"Nah, I'm not starving." I quickly said to Troy as he followed every step I took down the corridor.I always declined his invitation to sit with them in the cafeteria. Ever will be there, and I haven't heard from the two of them since the day I told Sierra to leave me alone, it'll just be awkward for all of us if we sit in front of each other, and of course, I’m still mad at Spencer. I don't care if I may sound immature, but I am hurt. Whether he likes Sierra or not, he still kissed her back.Rumors of Sierra and Ever dating continue to circulate in Willow, exacerbating my feelings. People seem to have forgotten about my relationship with Sierra, but I've heard some of them say that I'm such an idiot to fall in love with Sierra because they truly believe that I'm all about playing girls' hearts and to know that I was heartbroken after seeing the vid
"What's all the fuss about?" When Miss Patricia's deep, serious voice filled the room when she abruptly swept by, the commotion came to a halt as everyone made way for her."Someone smashed the lock on Ever's locker and put a dead rat inside." Troy was the one who explained everything to her.When I redirected my sight to them, I noticed Miss Patricia stepping closer to Ever's locker as everyone else took a step back. Miss Patricia instantly recoiled and covered her nose and mouth with her handkerchief when she saw what’s inside Ever’s locker that made the crowd shout in disgust."Who was responsible for this? Do you think this is funny?!" Miss Patricia asked angrily as he gave Troy, Ever, George, and Spencer a look as if trying to figure out who was the culprit within their bunch.
"What the hell." Miss Patricia swore.As Ever and I met gazes, he abruptlyhanded me his handkerchief, which I accepted without hesitation and wiped all over my hands, practically ripping my skin off due to how harshly I moved the linen through me. My mind is still reeling from the dead cats in our pool, and now I'm terrified by this dead rat and how I held it; my stomach is spinning, but I'm holding it together by biting my lips so I don't throw up and to not add another disgusting sight for everyone."Is no one really going to admit who did these things?! This is all heinous and unforgivable!" Miss Patricia glared at everyone in the room. "We're going to check the CCTV cameras nearby, and I'm going to make sure that whoever did these get punished!" Miss Patricia's rage grew louder, ringing throughout the room, and she gritted her teeth while shakin
August, 07 2016"I'm glad to hear you're doing well in school again, Archer." Mom welcomed me with a proud smile on her lips. She received a phone call early this morning from our homeroom teacher, who informed her that my grades were improving and were much higher than before. I simply smiled at her and went back to eating our breakfast."Well, I think you should probably rejoin the basketball team as well; your coach asked me again a few weeks ago if you are still willing—""I'm not thinking about going back, Dad." I quickly avoided his question while chewing the food in my mouth. I didn't bother looking at his face because I was already aware that he had a scowl on his face."Why not if it will benefit your studies? I believe you should—"
As soon as I stepped out of my car and gazed at the library in front of me, my breathing became shallow. I stared at it for a long time, seemingly studying every detail of it, but all I could think about were the memories Sierra and I made here. We usually go here after our class, even though we only stayed for a few minutes because she had to go straight to their bakeshop, we still had a lot of fun just talking about nonsense.We constantly talk about the same stuff, like our passions and what we used to be before we met, but I've never told her anything about my family. But it's as if we were both trying not to talk about them because Sierra had never talked about her family either. The last time she mentioned them was the first time we came here, and she hasn't told me anything else about them ever since.I still want to know a million things about her. A da
Sierra abruptly drew away, and from that moment I saw a reluctance sparkled in her eyes, but when she was about to open the door again, I quickly grabbed her waist, glued my other hand on her back, and pushed her to the door, which automatically closed as a result of what I did."Archer, what are you doing?" Her eyes were filled with bewilderment as she murmured to me. While still looking at her lips, I licked my bottom lip. The rush in my veins intensifies, and all I want to do is close the gap between us, kiss her passionately, and touch her all over her body. I miss her, and she has no idea how badly I want to be this close to her again."Tell me to stop, tell me to forget everything about you, tell me to utterly let go of you..." Unlike my heart, which is racing, my voice is drowning in waves, and a tear trickled down my cheek as I spoke. I placed my brow o
August 25, 2016"Would you like to get the strawberry-flavored one as well?" Sierra asked me out of the blue, which made my brow furrow. But I noticed that her focus was no longer on the birds in front of us, and when I followed her eyes, I found an ice cream stand with a few lines. After a moment, she returned my gaze, as if she was waiting for my response.My lips twitched in trepidation as I returned my gaze to the ice cream stall. I'm not a fan of any kind of berry, but I also don't want to turn down Sierra's request. Sierra appears to be a fan of strawberries since every time the two of us go out, if she sees a strawberry or any meal with its flavor, she will buy it straight away. Even though she has never compelled me to eat what she likes, I have the impression that today is different. She asks me purposefully if I want strawberry ice cream, and I believ
