"Can I speak with you?" Ashley asked Jonathan softly. He stared at her for a while and nodded. He sat on the couch opposite her and relaxed on it. "It's about Alex." Well, he knew that it was going to be about him anyway. "Hmm." "Is there something I am supposed to know about him? I tried speaking with him but he only ignored me. I don't know what else to do." "I feel guilty for causing a mess the other night but since that time, he just stays as far as he can from me. Do you perhaps know why? Maybe it's my imagination or..." Jonathan cleared his throat, "Ashley, I don't want to say much about this because it's Alex's issue. But what I can tell you is that, at this point, I don't even know what to say. You are still young and...I just don't know, Ashley. Whatever your parents tell you or perhaps your sister tells you to do, you should hearken to that. It's probably for your safety." He concluded. Jonathan didn't want to tell her to leave Alex when he kne
"Achoo!" Ashley sneezed as she stood in front of the mirror. She rubbed her nose and blinked her watery eyes before looking at herself in the mirror again. She was so tired and weak, she needed to rest but she knew that doing that was only going to make her condition worsen. She had stayed home for about three days since the night of *rejection* so she just wanted to go to school. She was missing a lot and she needed to make her papers to graduate. It's been three days since she last spoke to Alex or Jonathan. The memory from that night still haunted her and made her feel depressed. She just wanted to sleep perhaps wake up the next day only to find herself at the very beginning of the school's party. Maybe she would be able to change her luck by not bumping into him. Come to think of it, she had always been watching action movies, and scientific movies since she was young. In these movies, there was always something called the TIME MACHINE. Why didn't any exist in reality
"Dear diary, it's been a while since I got back to you. You must have felt unhappy too right? Haha, I guess I abandoned everyone during my moment of delusion. A lot has happened to me and it's quite surprising how a simple crush on someone could build something this huge - perhaps a hole that can't be patched in my heart. Why do I feel like he is pretending, DD? Why do I feel like he is pushing me away? I don't want to step into the Atlantic Ocean again but at the same time, I still don't want to leave. Our memories are precious and the harder." She stood up from her bed because she didn't feel comfortable writing it there. She pulled her chair backward and sat on it, placing her book on her desk. Then she continued pouring her heart into the book. "You know what? When I first saw him, he looked lonely and distant...not wanting to be helped so I was less concerned until that night when he actually saved me. Since that night, fate seemed to have brought us together yet he w
"So what's next now?" Ariana asked her husband as she folded their clothes. Brown was sitting on the balcony with his legs crossed and placed on the small table in front of him. There were multifarious newspapers as well even though he was holding an iPad. He looked at his wife who by now had stopped folding the clothes and was just leaning to the wardrobe to hear what her husband had to say. Brown sighed and smiled faintly. "I don't know what to do yet, Senorita. Sometimes the pressure is too much and since this order is coming from the upper hand themselves, it's hard for someone like me to want to let go of." He replied sincerely. Just a few days ago, Iris had come to gist him about the new work that would be given to all detectives in the city and also cops but since his boss was yet to confirm anything yet, he didn't press on the issue. However, Brown wasn't the type of person who would sit back and watch things unfold with or without his involvement so h
Ashley closed her locker and freaked out when she wasn't expecting someone to be behind it. Her face had turned into a horror one and she had to stop herself from screaming hard after that frightening experience. She looked at those around her with widened eyes and slowly comforted herself. There was this guy in front of her, Jordan by name. They were both classmates but not close enough to be friends because they rarely talked to each other. He was always in his circus of friends. He was also close to Daniel, Sammie's boyfriend. He was the same age as Ashley and had brown eyes with rough black hair. He was not that tall as Ashley was a few inches taller than him. Unlike Alex who had both a feminine-looking face and a bit of masculine features, Jordan was all masculine but good-looking. However, Ashley didn't take any interest in any guy. Alex was enough for her and until she meet someone more gorgeous than Alex, she wasn't going to move an inch. Although, it wasn't

Knock! "I am coming," Ariana yelled from the kitchen and went to answer the door a few minutes later. "Oh, Sammie and Josh. How are you doing?" She smiled warmly at the kids as they entered the house with their bag packs slung across their shoulders. "Hello, Aunt. Good day. We are fine thank you. How is the family?" Josh answered. "The family is great. Ashley!" She yelled. "What?" "Your friends are here!" Ariana then faced them, "You can go and meet her in her room." "Sure." Sammie smiled. As they climbed t

Thank you for reading.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "You will send me the PDF, right?" Sammie pointed at Ashley as they descended the stairs. Ashley was rubbing the nape of her neck and so was Josh. Their eyes had grown weary as well because they have been studying nonstop for the last few hours. Even Jordan had to fall asleep in the middle of the teaching. Eventually, his mum called him home for something important so he left before anyone else. When they came downstairs, they found Jennie seated in a corner with her laptop in front of her. She was wearing a pair of glasses that Ashley didn't know i
It was finally the new week for everyone and things were fast approaching for the students yet the memories of their classes were something they wanted to treasure. Ashley was not in the mood to do anything at the moment other than speak to Jordan and was waiting for him to finish playing basketball ball. Her friends were out there trying to create something fun that they could all do as a form of farewell to their classmates but she was really not interested. When Jordan sighted her, he wanted to come and meet her but she stopped him and reassured him that all was fine - he could continue. She waited patiently until he was done and that was because she had something filling the space for her - her textbooks. She did enjoy a little of the applause and yelling the students gave to support their favorite team or better still their boyfriends. By the time Jordan finished playing basketball, he was all sweaty and excused himself to take a bath. "Yeah sure, no problem.
