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

    "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

    When 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

    After a couple of minutes I glanced again to him. This time he is not looking and his book is placed in the table now. His left elbow is on the top of the table and his hands are placed in his chin. Why he is so…I didn’t finish my sentence in my head when he suddenly turns his head towards me. Shit. He stands up and started walking to me. What the hell! As he reached my table I started to stand up. I’m ready to leave.“Avis, right?” he asked. Wait, he knows my name. How? Why? What? I just nod to answer.“You’re classmates’ with Vaughn.” He added.“Yes.” I answered with a smile on my face.“It wasn’t a question.” he said and looks into his hand holding a book.Yeah, right. It wasn’t a question dumbass. He gets something in the middle of pages of the book. It is a small paper with his name and number on it. Wait, I’m not asking for his number. He

    "I'll be going now." I said, then, quickly walked away. "Where are you going?" He followed me and matched my pace. "Any place without you," I said. I don't know why I am being harsh to him; I think I'm just comfortable to roast him. I am someone who takes care of what people might be sensitive about, I spoke nicely and with respect with everyone except my friends, I sometimes roast them because that's how friends do. "Too bad because I will stick with you from now on," he chuckled. "Don't you have anything to do?" I asked. I'm getting annoyed because I want to read and with him by my side, I won't be able to concentrate. "I have now." He grins. "Then go away, I'm busy." I walked much faster. Of course, he is catch up again. "You are not gonna ask what is it?" He looks at me, pleading and doing cute poses. "No, I am not interested." I directly said. "That's mean," he murmured. "How is that mean?" I

    Back to the present, earlier in the library, I got the nerves to half-way confess. Does he know it all this time? Is he just pretending he doesn’t know? Then, he asks me because he wants to confirm it? Ugh! This is stressing me. “Hey! Tess?” I called then standing up in my seat. “Yeah?” she replied. “Skylar’s hotter than Vaughn. Remember that he is also part of the team in football. We’ve seen his abs when he removed his shirt in the field. Remember?” I rebutted to her comment earlier. I get my tumbler and walk away, before I closed the door, I turn to her. She looked above with her mouth slightly open. “Yeah, right. I forgot.” She said. I laughed. I turn away, now heading to cafeteria. Then, I saw him, Tessa’s and I topic back in the classroom. He is leaning his back in a wall. There are bullets of sweat rolling down from his hair to his temple then his cheeks. His shirt is wet, so I can see his abs forming in his shirt. I not

    "Vaughn, stop, it's not funny" I said but I didn't bother to remove it, I have no strength."Come on, Avis, why are you silent? Do you need to go to the bathroom, don’t worry I can cover for you," he chuckled and let go of my face.What surprises me is a big chocolate pouch drink on his other hand on the front of my face."Sweets can make you feel better when you have loose bowel movement," he told me and put the drink in both of my hands.It made my heart warm and feels good. I clasped it with my own two hands, it made my feelings lighter than before. I just chuckled and tap him on his back, "Thank you."I get the straw at back and put it at the designated hole in the pouch drink. Then we just sat on a bench. I didn’t notice we were on the school park in where vending drink machines are just around the area."You need to dry clean my handkerchief

    Now that I thought about him again, I felt tears starting to form again. I’m mad at him for rejecting me even if I didn’t actually confessed to him, also because he is maybe the reason Penny is back. If she wasn’t back, my friend wouldn’t suffer. I get that Tess is an amazon girl and she is also fearless and a fighter, but she doesn’t deserve what happened. She doesn’t deserve the pain because, Penny is insane. And I…. I don’t deserve this pain given by Skylar because, I haven’t even confessed to him properly. That’s unfair. But, I’m not really confessing, since I was already rejected.Maybe that is the thing about liking someone for too long. Liking someone for too long doesn’t mean they have to like you back too. And maybe, Skylar is really insensitive, he just said ‘stop liking me’ casually. Like it was a line from a movie and he wanted to try it to someone, and then he chose me.Fr

    “Grandma, can I ask a question?” I asked.“What is it darling?” she smiled at me then, held my hand.I looked at her.“In all of the stories you told me up until now that I’m close to a grown up woman, I’m 17 now, if you’re missing it grandma. So, why does the girl in your story always die?” I curiously asked.I wonder why the girl in her story named Avis like mine, always dies. The happenings in the story changes, but the ending is still the same, I’m getting pissed off by that. “Because, she always chooses to save him. She always wants to save him.” She answered as she caresses gently my hands.“That’s how love works; you get to experience sacrificing your own happiness or even own life for the sake of your love ones.” She continued.“Is she

    “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
