View MoreWhen I was a little, my grandmother always tells me stories before I sleep. Those stories are creepy, supernatural and magical. It is about two guys and one girl. A guy whose name Dark and another guy whose name Light. Dark gives people misery, destruction, and war, in simple word, doom. Then, Light gives people hope, peace, and happiness in their life. And a girl, whose name is Avis, just like mine, weird. It seems like she doesn’t has any power, but her existence was needed. Her existence saves the world. My grandma says she is like the Yin and Yang; she is in the middle who balances the good and bad.
Every night the stories will change, but the characters are still the same, but the ending of that story is also still the same, Avis died, to save him. It made me curious ever since that night. It made wonder who are they. I want to know more about them even if it’s just a story. But the night I went to my grandmother’s room to ask her to tell me a story again, I found out she was dead. She wasn’t breathing.
Up until now that I’m grown up, I still wonder and think about her stories. She would always tell me it’s true, but I would just laugh. Then, she would smile and tell me that I will understand it when I turn to a grown woman. But, I’m a grown woman now and I still don’t get it. Maybe she wasn’t aware that all her stories are just a fantasy, I should’ve tell her that before.
The place she will always use in her story is the school where I am enrolled at now and where I’m currently now. And that’s the reason why I went here. That school always reminds me of her. I miss her.
“You’re going to the library again, Avis?” sadly asked by my only friend, Tessa. I cling my left arm to her right arm and slightly spin us. She hates when I go to the library because she doesn’t have anyone to chitchat with her, beside me. In short, she’s bored without me, so she’ll just go again in the infirmary room to sleep before the 10:30 AM class starts.
I was destructed from the past memories that I forgot I am now in the present and I’m with my friend, Tess.
She hates the classroom because she hates the other girls there who’s like the mean girls, and she love to stay in the infirmary because of her so-called-hot-tall-muscular-young-doctor assigned there. So, I think she is just faking the sad voice thingy, well in fact she is actually happy she got a reason to go in infirmary. I also always wonder what reason she is giving to stay there that long without her getting kicked out.
And me, I love staying in the library because it’s quiet and I can peacefully read there and also, because of Skylar. Ugh! Ever since 8th grade he doesn’t still notice me. And now we’re in 11th grade still in same school. I almost memorize everything about him. I’m not obsessed with him, I just like him. I like him for almost 4 years. At first, I thought it was just infatuation just like Tessa said. That it will go away after 3 months. But, no, he’s still my crush up until now, and it’s almost 4 years now.
“Here’s my stop, Tess. See you later!” I remove my arm to hers and open the door to the library. Before I enter I looked back to Tess and seen her walk away while waving her hands above her head. I giggle.
As I entered, I noticed him right away, sitting in the right corner of the library beside the window. I scanned my library I.D card. “Good morning, Ms. Bailey.” I waved and greeted my second favorite person here in the library. Of course, the first place is Skylar.
“Good morning, Ms. Clove.” She said not looking at my direction. She is always busy, but we’re close to each other sometimes, when I ‘m not returning late the books I borrowed. I shrugged and walks to the direction where Skylar was.
There are 5 rows in the library. First, near the door, second, beside the first, third, in the middle of shelves and in the library, fourth, beside the fifth, fifth, beside the huge window and the very back of the library. Every row there is also 5 tables with 4 seats. As my feelings growing deeply to him, my guts and braveness is also growing too. I am now seating at the fourth table beside the fifth table where he is seating and reading now. Every year I changed seats, I go closer to him little by little. Yeah, I have the courage to do that, but don’t have the courage to confess to him. Tess always teases me because I am a cowardly dog. She said I’m like a dog following him and memorizing the things he does, but scared of barking to him and be close to him. She added that there are dogs that are like that to their new fur parent. Skylar is not my fur parent. I think he is like the other dog in the neighborhood.
I sat opposite to him, so now we’re face to face, but I can’t obviously see his face because he is reading and he is holding his book on his face. The book is ruining the view! Just kidding, I love books. That’s why I’m here. And I like books more than him.
I opened my book. I glanced at his direction again and saw him staring at me. Wait, is he staring or he is just looking and it’s a coincidence that I also glance at him at the same time? Am I assuming? I look back at my book and started reading. Just focus reading, Avis Clove.
"So, uhmm," I started. I don't know if it's appropriate to ask because we just kiss then, we let each other fell for the moment together. And, lastly we confirmed each other's feelings. I felt my face heated when I remember our scene back up there, in the rooftop. "Hmm?" He hummed as he looks at me with question in his eyes waiting for me to answer. "Is this our first day that we're officially in relationship?" I finished. When I asked it, I looked on his side to see his reaction. He is looking in front, away from me when I saw him smiled and bite his inside cheeks. He then, holds tightly my hand and say, "Yeah, you can now mark this date on your calendar as our first day, and we'll celebrate monthsary and anniversary." He answered. I giggled at his answer. "You knew about that?" I asked. "About what?" He asked back as we turn to the left of the campus where the parking lot is located. "About monthsary and anniversary thingy." I an
I can feel my heart beating rapidly and unusually fast. I am currently in front of the stairs that will lead to the rooftop. It was still 5:50 pm but I don't know why I was early but I was also nervous to come inside. Skylar was so unusual these days and his actions make me either somehow hope for something or get mad. Those past moments make me actually hope for something, that being with him might be possible, but it all got discarded once i heard penny that I was ruining their relationship. Hearing it made me realize how pathetic I could be, it makes me feel embarrassed and somehow annoyed. I'm embarrassed of how I clung to that possibility, and also annoyed to myself. But now, seeing that note, it made me hope a little but I'm trying my best not to, he has a girlfriend, I couldn't be more pathetic than I was. “Stop it, Avis.” I whispered to myself and did a deep sigh. I looked up at the stairs in front of
I hate Monday’s. It’s the worst day of the week.I got up from bed and collected the papers I’ve left last night while printing it. Being a History major is hard yet exciting and I love it so much. I won’t give this up over mom’s plan for me in her company.I have a presentation later at Mr. Velenzuela’s subject. One of our terror prof, but he teaches well so it’s all good.***I arrived at school 15 minutes earlier before my class starts, so I’ll have time to prepare my presentation.“Hey, Lei,” I called our president in an organization where I joined at. We are also block mates in this subject, she majors in History too. “Can you help me set this up?” ask and points at the projector and my laptop. She went to me and I focused my attention on the papers I’ve printed. I’m gonna hand it out to my prof before I start the presentation.“It’s connected now, you can try it.” Lei look at me and smiled. “Thank you!” I tap her back to show my gratitude.The room is already getting fill up by
“Hey, Sunflower.” Dad called me, but I can’t seem to get my mind out of Skylar, Vaughn, Penny, the party…and the balance. I felt like I dreamed a weird one again last night, when I fell asleep with Vaughn on my side. The word that has been repeating in my dream is ‘balance’. I don’t get it. I’m so confused. And grandma was there in my dream again. “Sometimes dreams are warnings.” Words of Ms. Bailey whispered in my head. WHAT THE HELL! Why are this all problems adding up together?! I played the bacon in front of me as I remember Penny’s words and it is hitting me like steak knives deep in my heart. So, Skylar and Penny is a thing. Then, why did Skylar do something like that? Why does he make me fall hard to him that I can’t ever get out?! I would be probably happy when the news was Skylar and Vaughn is a thing, not Penny and Skylar. I sigh. This is giving me a headache. Glad, it’s Sunday and I do
After the incident, I guided Avis to a private room to have her time. I led her to a sofa while the tears are still running down on her cheeks. She sat down. I can hear her sobs, I know that she is trying to suppress it but she can't. I sighed and hug Avis tightly, I can understand what she's feeling and I felt so sad and angry for what is happening now. I took some water from the pitcher and poured a glass of water to her. I gave it to her and she reached it, her hands are shaking. I sighed multiple times seeing Avis in this state. It somehow also makes me sad for her. She was still shaking and looks so confused but she's trying to conceal it. Avis don't deserve this, she deserves the best but why is she receiving shits like this? "Try to rest, Avis. Don’t worry, I will protect you here." I pat her head and wipe those tears from her cheeks. She nodded and tried to lie down on the sofa. I fixed the cushions on her side and fixe
I both looked at Vaughn and Skylar, all of them looked good and dashing tonight. "All right! So..shall we go inside?" I both asked them because the air kinda feel intense for some reason. I was about to turn my back when a rushing person suddenly jumps at me and clanged it's full body to my neck. Of course, it's Tess. Because I can't fully grasp the sudden situation, it resulted for me to have an out of balance and fall to the ground, of course, with Tess on top of me. "Aviiiiiis! My wifeeeeey!" She hugs me tightly after we got up. "Can you please inform me that you are gonna do that? I nearly had a heart attack. “I said to Tess and she laughs. "I'm sorry, I thought the boys will be there to catch you," she smiled to me and intensely takes a mad stare at both Vaughn and Skylar. "Kidding! Come on in, guys!" She said to boys and she proceeds to link her arms to me, resulting for me to be dragged towards inside the house. Both Vaughn and
I’m finally done! FINALLY! I lean on the back of my seat and stretch my arms widely. I noticed that Skylar is still here on my side, sitting, and he is quietly sleeping resting head on the top of the table. I thought he gone home. I checked my phone to check the time. It’s already 10 PM. Did he actually wait for me? Wow… he is seriously not his usual self tonight. I felt a little happy and contended that he is now talking to me, but still anxious on why he suddenly avid me for past few days. Should I ask him later? I lean closer to him, focusing my eyes on every detail in his face. Why does he look so perfect? He looks so peaceful and like an angel when he is sleeping. I rest my head on the table while still staring at him. This is the longest time I’d stare at him. I move my hand closer to him as I touch his hair that falls in his face. The features of his, I’ll memorize it. His eye lashes that is
"Oh, Skylar..." I slowly said as I saw him. He looks at me with something within his eyes and I can feel goose bumps for no reason. He pulled the chair next to me and sat. I just remained silent and quickly wipe off my tears. "I'll just give this back to you tomorrow," I said, pertaining to his handkerchief. "Tough day?" He asked quietly. I just nodded to him. I closed my eyes for a second because I just realized that he always caught me always in my pathetic state, just why?! And why was he here? Didn't he keep on avoiding me since the beach day? "What makes you come here?" I asked with a low voice. I started to open again the books and proceed to continue my work. "You," he said. I abruptly stopped writing when I heard what he said. My heart skipped a bit and tried to recall if I did hear it correctly. I look at him and I could see him trying to scan some of my paper works that are neatly stocked on th
Arghh! I’ll never drink alcohol again on weekdays. Wrong move Avis. Your stupidity nowadays is hilarious that someday you'll die because of it, Avis! I just finished my afternoon class and I badly need to library because I have a lot of school works to finish today since I’m half day absent yesterday. I should’ve been on my way to home now, but I think I’m gonna overtime because of the stupidity I did yesterday. I also haven’t called or talked to Tess about her plans tomorrow Saturday about her birthday plans. I didn’t also have the chance to eat lunch earlier. I’m hungry, I think I’m gonna cry. I entered my library card and walk over to Ms. Bailey. “Good afternoon!” I said, showing her my most beautiful smile. Please, don’t remember it! Please! Please! “Where’s the book?” she said then remove her gaze on mine and focus on organizing the books on her desk. “I forgot it.
