WAYNE'S POV
After I got abandoned by her. I get stuck in here so I called Lucas.
Calling Lucas.........
Ringing............"Hey bro"
"What's up?"
"She's hard dude"
"I can't believe you're giving up like that"
"What are you talking about? Me? Giving up? Never"
"So how come you couldn't get her"
"I told you she's really hard to please"
"Well You've done a lot like that, why is it so hard, remeber the deadline bro"
"I know that"
"Oww...kay, good luck"
"Tss!"
After I ended the call. I immediately find that girl.
I walked down the streets but still I couldn't find her.
Where exactly is she?
Until....I pass through a cemetery, I saw a girl there sitting on the ground and I can hear her sobs.
I came close to see who it is and I was right it's Bumper. I don't her name so I could only call her by this nickname.
As I stared at her I noticed that she's crying quietly.
She's caressing the grave infront of her, maybe her loved ones.
While I'm looking at her, she began to mumble and said. "I'm sorry mom, I'm sorry dad"
So the grave she was crying for was her parents. She lose her parents?
That's why she's like that is because she loose her parents and I know the feeling of it. When I was a child I lost my dad too, and that hurts me so much too.
So I kneeled beside her and slowly stretching hand, handing her a handkerchief.
But she didn't take it instead she lifted her head and faced me with her messy face due to her crying.
I habded her the handkerchief and slowly she took it and wipe her tears away.
I sat beside her as she began to calm down and sat also properly there.
"Why are you here?"....she asked but in a low tone.
"If you're gonna offer me again better not"...she said and her voice crack.
"Forget the offer right now, I didn't even bring that up"
She didn't say anything but stared only at the ground..
"I know the feeling of losing someone important to you, back when I was a child I lost my dad too"
She looked at me but didn't utter a word so I just jeep on talking.
"I was so sad seeing my dad's dead body that day, I was sad and even miserable, We we're too close back then, he will came to pick me up at school, and we will eat snack before heading home"
"What's the cause of your father's death?"..she asked.
"Car accident"....I said.
"Oh..."...she said.
"You looked calm down, Let's go, It's about to rain too"....I said and she did.
While we're walking, I nituced that she is not making any noise, She's quiet and only the sound of the cars can be heard.
"Are you heading home?"...I asked and she nod at me without sparing me a glance.
"So now, can you accept the offer?"......I asked and now she's looking at me.
"No"...she said, but I really need her. Tomorrow is the deadline.
We have only agreed three days, three days of making her accept the offer.
But now....She's as hard as rock..
As the bus stops, she quickly get in so am I because I didn't even brought my car with me.
She sat on a single one so I have to sit in the back of her. It's not quite I like sitting with her.
"Is it still a No?"...I asked and she only nod at me. "Don't ask fo it again or else I'll punch you, I already said no, and nothing will change my mind"
Looks like I need to give up this time. I did everything and even if I want to, I have only one day left before deadline.
I didn't say anything and leaned my back.
After a deep thinking I felt that my phone was vibrating on my pocket so I took it and open it.
Lucas and Crane messaged me.
Lucas
How did it go, Did she agreed? Hope she does, because you have to give your sports car to us.
Crane
What's up! How did it go? You know what Lucas can't stop laughing of you thinking of what you said earlier, he said that you called him just to say that she's hard to plead. Well bro a dare is a dare.
Yeah it's a dare, we only play it once a week and last week I was dared to date a woman. And they picked her.
And also they've set me up for only three days of dealing with her to make her accept the offer.
He has dealt with every woman they targetted for but it is the first time that he encounter a girl that is really hard as rock.
As the bus stops. She quickly got off the bus so I got out too.
"Hey".....I called her.
"What?"....she coldly said.
"I really need your help"....I said hoping that it will make her agreed to do this.
"Find another, I'm not interested".....still a No?
"You're really not?
"Yes, I said No already"
Is this the feeling of being rejected by a woman?
I've dated many, and none of them rejected me when I asked them out especially when it's only a dare and they are the target.
She walked and I let her. I didn't follow her but instead I got home.
"Wayne, son, where have you been?"...my mom asked and I looked at her.
"I went nearby mom".....I said and walked upstairs.
After I locked the door in my room. I sat on the bed and think.
Should I give up?
No, definitely not, If I gave up, I will only shame myself infront of them.
I will definitely find a way to make her agreed tomorrow.
And besides I love my sports car. I can't even let someone own it.
Just wait Bumper, You will definitely say Yes to me!
To be continued...............Morning came and I got up early. It's sunday today and I don't know her whereabouts but I do know her address so I will go there and check.And if you're about to ask where did I or who gave me her address, Well, someone didn't tell it to me.We have our research in every girl here in the university including her, well except for the teachers.As I began to fix my hair, I heard my phone ringing. Crane Calling...... Ringing........."Hey""What's up""It's seems that you're doing something""Yup, I need to, for the dare""Well, you really hate giving your sports car away?""Yeah, It's one of my favourite""Okay, finish the dare and your car is all yours""I know, Where's Lucas?""He's sorrounded by the girls again, showing off"
SARAH'S POVAfter he left. I sat on the couch and calmed myself.Thinking of what I said earlier, I think he might not want to bother me anymore. I didn't want too, to be followed by him.As the clock strikes at five I quickly change my clothes and walk to the bus station.When I arrived there, I saw the bus coming so I stood there and wait for it.As soon as it stops infront of me. I quickly walked in and find a single seat , luckily I've got one.I sat there and plugged my earphones to my ears and listen to some music.While listening to it. I turned my head to see the view of the nature. But looking at it is like remebering the past, so I quickly turned my head and focused infront.As soon as the bus stop. I made my way out and walked to the coffee shop."Freind!!".....I heard someone shouting and, It's somehow familliar so when I lift my head to look, I saw Lesley walking near me.She hugged me and I hugged her.
"Sarah"I heard a familliar voice of a woman and that's when I saw my mother smiling at me.I ran towards her and hugged her."Mom"...I mumbled between our hugs."I missed you Sarah"...Mom said and pulled me tightly."I missed you too mom"....I said and my tears slowly escaped my eye."How are you dear?"...she asked."I'm fine mom"....I said and release myself from the hug."Good thing""Where's dad mom?"...I asked"Your dad is there"....she pointed out a par where my dad is so I walked towards ther and I saw my father smiling at me so I smiled and hugged him."I miss you dad""I miss you too, my little princess"....he said."I hope I could stay in here longer""You need to wake up Sarah, he's waiting for you, I can see that he's worried about you"...Are they talking about Wayne?"Mom...Dad....""You need to live dear, I love you"....mom said and we hugged together. "I love you Sara
"Mrs. Smith".....I said when they suddenly came in."Oh god, Sarah dear what happened?".....she immediately walked near me asking me worriedly."We we're worried about you?"...Mr. Smith said while standing on side oart of the bed."I'm okay, Mrs. Smith"...I said and they could just sigh in relief."Thank goodness, but what exactly happened?".....Mrs Smith asked me again and I looked at her."I only got stressed Mrs. Smith, I'm really okay maybe I can't handle that much stress that's why I fainted".....I explained."Are you having a problem about something or in your job?"..her husband next to her asked."No sir,"....I simply replied and they nod.After awhile the door ipened and It shows Lesley coming in."Hey mom"....she greeted her mom and put the medicine on the table baside the hospital bed."Oh right, your medicine, it's already past midnight".....she said and gave me one tablet and a glass of water.A
I looked at him surprised but I manage to maintain my expressionless eyes looking directly at him."Who told you to pay for me"....I calmly said but then he shook his head."Well....it's a pity if I'm onky buying this".....he said showing off his popsicle."Nevermind, I'll pay on my own".....I said and I told it to the cashier.After paying, I immediately open the glass doors of the convenience store and walked out not minding the person behind me."Why do we have to Bump into each other?".....Is he asking me right now?I didn't reply and keep on walking until he asked me a question."Are you feeling better already that's why you're going out like this?".....well...I could say is it a question? Yeah a dumb one.."Yes, I'm feeling better, Could I go out if I'm not".....I answered in a bit of sarcastic tone."Well, nevermind, just checking, I don't want to be blame if you fainted again".."Tsk!".....I could only gave him a gl
As soon as I got here. I quickly started my shift.It's not exhausting like last time becuase now we have plenty but easy to handle customers.••••••••When the clock stirkes 10:00, my colleauges went home one by one ao I was left here cleaning the tables.Karen should be the on whose doing this but she plead me because there was an emergency so I ket her off already.While cleaning I heard someones footstep coming in so I said, "We're closed Sir, You can be back tomorrow"....I announced and I noticed that it is a man so adressed him as "Sir"."Really?"....At his question, I can sense some arrogance on it so I lifted up my head to face him, not to my surprise It's Wayne."What are you doing here?"...I asked."Isn't it obvious?"...he said making me dumb one."And isn't it obvious that It is clearly stated outside that We. Are. Closed. Already".....I answered."But why does it say, We're open, Please
As I got back to my senses....I avoided his gaze and turning my heads focus onto another thing.And then he slowly let go of my waist and supports me until we came near his bike. After that, he was about to hold me agin when I stopped him and get things on my own, slowly lifting my feet to sat on his bike.As I sat properly he gave me another spare of his helmet. I grabbed it and instantly put it on my head.After I locked it he sat there too infront of me and starts off his engine.Before he could start, I slowly looked at him before saying, "Drive Slowly"....I almost whispered and he didn't sapre me a glance but focused only on his driving.As the ride goes.....I felt less triggered...He was driving not fast and not slow but in a right and exact one.A few more minutes passed and then we reached my home.He got off first and took off his helmet while I'm doing the same.After I took it off. I stretched my arm and handed it to him.
Morning came and I woke up first, and then I turned to the one sleeping beside me. I can only say she's such a sleepy head.Not wanting to disturb her, I get off the bed and proceeded on the bathroom.After showering...I headed downstaur to make some breakfast.While cooking I heard some footsteps and ywans from upstairs so I thought maybe Lesley, was already awake.After preparing breakfast I headed back upstairs to call her but she's nowhere to be found.I searched the whole room and got nothing.So I tried to look in the bathroom.And I was shocked because she is there sitting in the bowl while her toothbrush was stock on her mouth..Just when did I have a friend with this kind of habits.Even the sound of the door didn't bother her sleeping.So I let myself in and slowly got the toothbrush out of her mouth. I put it on the sink and try shaking her to wake her up.At first she just shrugs and sleep fpe more. Sin
LESLIE'S POV"Omg!! I thought you're not gonna show up"...said the girls while I walk towards them with a smirk on my face."You really think I'm gonna miss a party like this, shut up!"...I said and chugged down the drink they handed me.After drinking, I can feel the heat all over my body. As the music turn up, the party got wild. I danced with the girls. The music is so hyoed that my body just moves on its own.Control? Nah uhAin't going home without being wasted."Let's partyyyy!!!"...I feel like I was drowning while dancing in the middle and suddenly flashbacks of what happened earlier came rushing through me.I felt bitter.The guy I I like.Kissing another girl and worse, its my own bestfriend.Tell me, am I wrong to feel like this?Little did I know, I was lost thinking about everything and before a tear could roll down my cheeks, I drank the whole bottle of alcohol and got out of the crowd.But the thing was, I think I drank a pretty hard one. Right now my head is all around
CRANE'S POV"Sarah"...I called.She was standing there like a statue while the rain soaked her.It hit me, It felt weird.She was just a girl back then that we tried to screw up but now,It's different.She's hurt, and my bestfriend hurt her.It shouldn't be a big deal for me. She get hurt, none of my business.Right?"Sarah"...I called again but no answer so I rushed towards her. She is weak.When I got closer, I slowly held her shoulder to check if she's fine."Hey, It's me--"....."Shit! Sarah!"She fainted.Damn you Wayne, even though you're my friend.I immediately find my keys and carried her to my car. I laid her gently on the backseat and drove to the nearest hospital I could find.........After a while,"Uhm hey,"...I felt a light tap on my shoulder so I immediately lifted my head to see who is it. It's the nurse. I lost track of time since she was admitted."Are you the family of the patient?"...she asks and I nod."Yes, How is she?"...I asked."She's fine now, she
LESLIE'S POV "Hey are you going to my party"...I heard Sheena asked me. She was going to throw a party in her house this week so she was inviting almost half of the school's population. Well her family's filthy rich, why wouldn't she? "Nah~I'll think about it"...I said but then she pouted. "Tsk! You better come or I'll shave your head"...she warned but I laughed at her and left the table. These days were pretty much quiet and I don't get to see Sarah lately. She said she's busy but I can't help wonder how is she so busy that she wouldn't have the time to see me. "I'll just call her"...I whispered and get my phone in my bag. Dialing.... "The subscriber cannot be reach please try again later"..huh? What's up with her? Usually she'll pick up even if she's busy... I wonder what's ta-- "Ah-ouch!"...damn this wall.

WAYNE'S POV"Bro?"...*tap*"Hmm?"...I replied in a simple hum and looked at Crane."Are you okay?"...he asked and I nod. "Really?"...he assured but all I did was look at him. I think he got what I meant as he started nodding at me."By the way, here's the list of partners we're assigned today."...he said and handed me the paper with our names on it."Yours is the same!"...he announced and gave me a smirk before returning at what he was doing and I scanned the paper and he was right.We're still partners. ~*~"Okay class, Since you've seen the list, go sit with your partners"...the professor announced so I searched around the room and didn't saw her.So I looked at my wrist watch and 1 hour has already passed since she've gone to see the dean."Mr. Grayson?"....huh?..."Yes?""Don't you have a partner?"...she asked but I shook my head in response to her. "Then why are you still here?""She's not--Oh, she just got here"...I said and stood up to follow Sarah."Now that it's settled, let'
WAYNE'S POV*SPLASH*"An orphan bitch"...sh*t"KLEIR!"...I shouted. I don't know but suddenly I got sorked up on what she said. I felt anger inside me when I heard her say that. "W-wayne?"...she stuttered but I glared at her. "What the do you think you're doing right now?"...I asked. "No! I-it's not what you think Wayne"...she said and then began pointing her as if she retaliated only. "She-...she started it. She hit me with that box full of glasses"...I didn't spoke but looked at Sarah who was wiping her shirt.I wanted to ask her what happened but seeing her like this. I just wanna check up on her. "Are you okay?"...I asked but she ignored me. "Yeah, I'm fine"...yet gave me an answer. That being said. I felt assured. "Seriously! Wayne? Aren't you gonna ask her about what she did?!"...oh, I forget, she's still here I guess. "What is this? You're not like that Wayne? What the hell happened to you?"...well I should be asking that same wuestion to you."Nothing happened you're j
WAYNE'S POVAfter we parted ways, I held on the scarf and feel the warmth it gives around my neck. It feels good."I did it because I want to"Even though I'm not sure if it was really her answer, I feel happy because there was no other reason behind it.As I got home, I took a shower and finally went to my bed. I saw the scarf she gave and held it in my hand.I smiled a little on the thought of what happened earlier. She sure love to do things in her way. After a while I folded the scarf neatly and put it in a paperbag. Tomorrow is monday so I'll just give it to her in the class.I can't believe I'm like this. Arghh! This is bad yet good.~*~KRING!! KRING!!Argh! Noisy Alarm.As I woke up, I scratched my head a bit before jumping out of my bed to head straight to the bathroom.As soon as I get there, I took a shower and got myself cleaned up before heading out.When I got back, My eyes searched through the whole room until it landed on a familliar thing lying neatly on my table.
WAYNE'S POV"What are you doing here?"...I heard someone asked.But to my surprise, It's her."Uh- I might've been at the wrong destination?"...I said lying straight on her face. Sh*t! How do I explain this?Should I just leave, yeah she might believe If I left proving that maybe I got lost.But-"Really? You know, you've taken me home twice, I doubt it if you still think you're lost."...she said so I stopped on my tracks and becane speechless.Right! You punk!"Ah right, haha, maybe I forgot"...one freaki'n excuse again."You left at the cafe' earlier when I went to change, Is here where you're headed?""No-Yes?"...I said unsure of my answer.She was quiet for a while so I guess she didn't care about it.I shouldn't have come here I guess. I'm an idiot for thinking a warm aelcome from her.Well, who would've give that if someone came unannounced."Uh- Maybe I should go"...I said and started walking away.Yeah it's better this way."Hey! Wait"...what did I just hear right now?I sto
WAYNE'S POV"Hey bud!"...Lucas called as he went beside me but I only keep staring at where I am walking.I'm not in the best mood to entertain someone right now."Hey!"...until I felt a tap on my shoulder that made me looked at him. "What?""Are you okay?""Y-yeah, I'm fine"...I said and didn't utter another word."Really? You know you can tell me any--"..before he could even finish what he's saying, I halted. We crossed paths again.I looked at her and she seems to ignore me so I brushed off of it and walk past her as she did the same without looking back."I guess you're not fine"...I heard him mumble but I kept walking as if I never heard what he said.~*~Days have gone and I'm still not used to my life now. No girls.No gimmicks.No pranks.Well it's my fault though. I pulled a stop on it so why would I feel like this.But, honestly.It made me muss those days. It doesn't feel like I'm suit to be a normal guy with a normal life.I miss pulling pranks.I miss strolling late at
WAYNE'S POV"You should go"....I heard our professor so I nod at her and went in the ambulance.I can barely look at her. She's so pale that one qould think all her blood is gone."S-sarah"...I mumbled as I slowly held her hand into mine. She's unconscious right now and here I am, hoping that everything would be okay."How is she?"...I ask the officer who assessed the situation. "She's fine now but she needs an IV drop to regain her strength"...she said so I nodded and looked at Sarah.I want to tease her now. I want to take advantage of her being weak but I can't afford but be worried to this ignorant girl.Seeing her like this, it's like something is stuck on my chest that it's painful. ~*~After we arrive at the hospital, they transferred into the hospital bed and they brought her into the emergency room where I followed.I shouldn't care right? She told me not to!But what can I do when she made a reason for me to break it."Are you Ms. Johnson's guardian?"...I heard a voice be
