"Cool shorts." He complemented, gesturing his head towards my thighs area.
Oh, the shorts. The very short shorts if I might add.
I've even forgotten that I was wearing something as short at this in the first place, oh well, at least he noticed them.
Not that I wore it for him in the first place, but still.
It means he was checking me out, right? I thought mentally.
The moon has risen fully now in all its glory, tonight isn't the time for half moons and the rest, the moon is a big full one.
Which means the reflection from the moon is reflecting directly towards us, surrounding us in its bright aura.
My mind slowly drifted towards Miguel.
Wait, what?
Why am I thinking about him now?
"Tell me about you." Silas's voice broke the comfortable silence that surrounded us s
"I didn't know anything." I answered."Yeah, right." He replied."Damn, right." I threw back."Fuck, right." He threw back almost immediately."That's right." I replied immediately."Obviously right." He answered back, folding his hands before giving me a 'come on, let's here yours' look."Absolutely right." I dropped out with an eye roll, a small smile breaking through my face."Oof, I give up, savage." He announced with a laugh."Of course you did, that's what you'll still do at the end." I answered with a laugh of my own."Where's Amara anyways?" He asked after our laughter died down.
Some minutes after twelve a.m and I'm still wide awake, staring straight at the ceiling, my mind drifting back and forth.A knock broke into my thoughts and I lazily stood up from my warm bed to answer the door.Who could it be anyways?Oh, it probably Amara.Maybe she decided to come home tonight after all.I thought as I pulled the door open without even asking who the person was.She scolded me firstly for not checking out to be sure it was actually her at first before opening the door but I rolled my eyes and pulled her into the sofa beside me after closing and locking the door firmly."How was it?" I pushed."Well..." She paused for a moment as a dramatic sigh left her lips before she continued."It was awesome!" She let out and we both let out a laugh."Really?"
It's the morning after Amara's date and every where's really cold due to the heavy rain that fell last night stroke this morning.Being in the month of August is still a month for rain to fall heavily if it feels like."Hey Savage." Silas greeted the moment I stepped out of the door.I stopped walking for a moment to gather my breath.So, we really are neighbours."Hi Silas. Good morning" I replied.He was already dressed and ready for school."Anyways, I'll see you later." He called towards me after we exchanged a few words with me mumbling out each replies, he waved at me lightly behind his shoulders as he headed down the stairs.He's probably going to meet up with his friends.I didn't expect his cousin, Marcus to go to school today with him anyways, that one doesn't go to school at all.Am
As expected like everytime, traveling back home was a kinda stressful journey, whereby you have to sit for long hours before reaching your destination.With my headphones plugged into my phone, my favorite playlist playing out the perfectly arranged songs loudly into my ears was pure bliss while I rested my head against the headrest and my eyes shut completely as if I was in a deep sleep.Thankfully, we finally almost reached our destination after battling with thick traffic, passengers who stalled the bus every second we reached a canteen or stall where eatables were sold, it was like as if some people just couldn't control their stomach from getting hungry everytime.Oh, and then there were two or three people who were always stopping to ease their bladder free, always urinating every one hour.Like, why do I have such a shitty luck today? I only wanted to go home in peace.
That's still fair, but bursting the door open and scaring the black Jesus out of me is so not cool."Leave the phone and give your mother a hug." Her familiar voice echoed around the room with the hint of a smile."But my phone is broken!" I replied her grumbling the words out."So?" She asked as she pulled me up, the phone falling off my thighs again towards the floor.Alright, it's official.My mother is a phone killer, I'm sure it's already dead after the second fall if it did survived the first crash.I scowled at her after giving my phone a sad glance before returning the dejected look at her again to emphasize on how much I was pained.Oh yes, I really am painedLike, a phone is part of the soul, loosing it feels like you are about to die.Right.I
"It's the truth. You don't go out, like at all." He answered slowly, putting emphasis on every word.The bastard.Sad, but he was saying the pure truth, I don't go out.Not like I don't go out at all, but I just don't really enjoy going out too much, I prefer being buried in a book instead of being in the midst of annoying people.And, let's not forget that people tend to annoy me a lot.I'll choose Goldie, my dog over a lot of my course mate.Sad, but that's me.Take me like that or still take me, I wouldn't care that much anyway."Hey! I go out, but not that much." I denied vehemently."That's what I said, you don't go out." He replied flatly."I go out, but not every time." I grumbled out.
This would be one tough girl, he could see it in her eyes.He went ahead and told her what he tells his children about the Christmas tree and felt good with himself when her small face lit up with curiosity. She actually bought the wish story and daintily walked towards the tree and did as he told her to.All she only wanted was a sibling.At the age of ten, going on eleven, the envy Fay have been feeling since the house got filled up by kids and kids cannot be explained the way she felt it.She wished for a baby brother or sister for her to be able to spoil, take care of, babysit, share her stuffs with and so on, but unfortunately for her, her parents haven't been able to give her a younger sibling."I hope I get a kid brother or sister soon." She whispered into her fluffy pillow that night before fal
On getting to the hospital, he was barely breathing.They did all their possible best but the amount of sleeping pills he consumed was way too much for his age, making his blood pressure rise too high to a point of danger as well as his breathing coming to almost standstill.Assuming he was brought in a little bit earlier, he might have survived, the doctor explained to them as he consoled them as best as he could before excusing himself.Her mother was broken and cried dejectedly as they finally got home around noon. Their house was already filled up with family members who tried to console Fay's crying mother.Fay sat still on the far end of the room, on the floor as her family members cried around her but not one tear fell off her eyes.She stared straight ahead but couldn't see a thing, all she could see was da
