Serine

***

I entered my original classroom and took my seat. It seemed like today I was the first one here. Levine was on my right and she was glued to her phone for the past five minutes.

I gave up in calling her and just stared at the empty white board that was in front of me. After getting bored for a while, I opened my sketch book and IT opened to the sketch I had done earlier. I frowned at the image and tore it out of the book. I gave it one last glance before crumble it up. "What's with the noise dude?" I heard a familiar voice whine.

"At least that snapped you out of whatever had you glued to your phone," I stared at her blankly. "Okay look, It's not gossip." I blinked at her. "Do you think I'm stupid or something?"

"Uhh..." she trailed off and I rolled my eyes. "Oh I know, shut up. You have more brains than I do but I swear it's not gossip. It's real information."

"Ahh, I see."

"Look your sarcasm is not nee-"

"Students!" My head snapped into the direction of the door and ther

    Serine***"He is so hot! Jesus, oh my,""Dude, can you like, chill?" I said and shoved one of books into my locker. "No but I can't. I just simply can't. If you didn't see what I saw, then you weren't seeing anything at all. But it would explain everything, I mean, you were looking at each other like the rest of us were invisible." She smirked with her arms folded."What are you saying?" I rolled my eyes. "I'm saying the truth. And he was the guy who we bumped into earlier, outside the cafeteria, in the hall.""I know very well Liv," I rolled my head back."I'm just making sure that you haven't had any amnesia," I stared at her for a moment before shaking my head and stared elsewhere. "You're crazy,""Well speaking of the devil," I knitted my brows. "Wh-" I turned around but only to bump into something. "Ow!" I hissed. "Sorry, sorry, sorry. I am so sorry." I looked up to the pair of chestnut orbs and realized who it was.Speaking of the devil, huh."It's okay, no big deal." I shook m

    Serine***"So?""How about we sit down," he suggested. "It's either you talk or I'm out.""No- I'll talk. Just don't go,""You don't see my legs moving now do you?" He sighed with his eyes closed before speaking up. "Look I don't want to fight nor argue with you anymore. I'd never jeopardize what we had before. We actually were on good terms and we were communicating in a way, in the most civilised we could. And be fire you say anything, I know that you know all of this and there's not need to go back to it but I just need you to believe me when I say that I wasn't the one who told Kelly about what happened to your dad. Serine I'd never do that to you-""Then who did it?""Ser-""If it wasn't you, then who was it?""I don't know Goddamnit," I jerked my head back and shook my head in disbelief. "You seriously still think that I'll- simply believe you because it 'wasn't you'? Alexander, who do you think you're fooling?"I continued. "For the past few days of you wanting to talk to me,

    Serine***History had begun repeating itself when I was incapable of looking him in the eye once again.Not because I hated him this time but because he had kissed me."Hey what's wrong?" Levine asked."Nothing.""Oh Serine you've been saying that for the past week.""Because it's what's true." I shrugged. "You've been so quiet since the day I left you to speak with Alexander. And you never told us what happened, so tell us.""Yeah. You don't look okay and maybe if you'd tell us, you'd feel better." Sarah said.I sighed and opened my mouth to explain everything that had happened between Alexander and I."He kissed you?""Oh I knew it." I frowned. "You what?""Oh, this is what I get for being friends with two idiots." Levine face palmed."Hey!" Sarah slapped her arm playfully. "Haven't you realized that the schools most hottest boy is head over heels for our beloved, hot ass best friend." I knitted my brows. "Impossible.""No, no, no, it's possible." Sarah said and I glared at her."

    Serine***I closed my sketchbook and put it beside Sarah's soup. "Don't you dare mess on it." I said even though and I knew Sarah was the most cleanest person I knew.I was sitting with my two best friends during lunch time and we were talking about what girls would talk about. Until,"Speaking of crushes," I rolled my eyes and lost all hope for this conversation. "What happened with Alexander?""Oh God." I muttered. There was really no escaping this.***"You? No- impossible. You like me? Your sister could do better than that." I shook my head with an eye roll. "I knew you wouldn't believe me.""Damn right. So why tell me?" He sighed at this and I could see the irritation in his eyes. "Why are you so Goddamn stubborn woman?""I could ask you the same thing." I folded my arms and looked up to him innocently. "Princess why is it so damn hard for you to believe that I actually feel something for you."Princess. "First of all, don't call me that. Second, that's humanly impossible."

    Serine***I frustratingly sighed as another minute went by with me searching for my book. "What ya looking for princess? " Levine asked."My sketch book. I've been looking for it for over an hour and I still haven't found it." I answered ignoring the name she called me. "Did you check the library?""I checked but it wasn't there.""Were you the only one there?""Ye- no. Angelo was with me. I remember he needed to find the library and I took him there before Alexander interrupted. But it was still with me at the time, I'll ask Angelo anyways. "I shut the door, irritated and I made my way to the living room. "Hey Sarah have any of you seen my-" I stopped mid end when I saw a green eyed, tanned skin human being drinking juice on the couch. "Darek?" My voice echoed and our eyes locked and stared at him, confused."I brought some- Serine." Sarah came into the living room through the kitchen and her eyes met mine and went back to Darek. "I- oh my God I-" I smirked as she kept getting tang

    Serine***My heart stopped.Unwanted thoughts clouded my mind as I watched her twirl the book in between her fingers. For the first time in God knows how many years, Kelly had finally gained the upper hand against me.I remembered back to all of times where I was only a junior and she knew who I was because we had gone to the same school even way before."You are nothing.""You will always be nothing."I could hear my own heart beat, loud and clear and I even tried breathing in deeply."Kelly don't- please. Whatever you're going to do, please don't.""Oh no?" I shook my head with pleading eyes and I could taste the blood from my lips that I didn't even realize I was biting. Ever since I built up the courage to face my fears and face her, I'd never thought I'd see the day that I'd be pleading for her not to something crazy.I never thought I'd see the day of me letting go of my pride because of a situation.A Kelly situation to be exact.I swallowed all of my pride at that moment bec

    Serine***Fortunately, the passed few days had gone pretty smooth and I hadn't unnecessarily been stressing on things.I obviously kept visiting my dad on a daily and it was the same old news. Talking to a person, with their eyes closed on a hospital bed I think was definitely a torturous thing because the person was truly still alive because of a man-made machine.It was like talking to the dead who was still living.Did that make any sense?Even if I didn't, it surely wasn't a pretty feeling.I sighed, leaning my head against the wall staring at my wardrobe, puzzled. It was like I didn't know who I was, I didn't know who these clothes belonged to because I didn't even know where to start. It was just another day of me going to school but for some reason, something inside of me just said that something was going to happen. But I didn't know what.I shrugged it off and made my way to my wardrobe and I glanced at the window outside. They sky was already blue- it seemed warm and it

    Serine***I must've been hallucinating.I should have been hallucinating.I wish I was hallucinating because I couldn't take this.This must've been a joke. But it wasn't, the four of them sat down and I honestly couldn't regret agreeing to this more than anything. "Karma." Someone whispered and I nodded. Acknowledging the fact like it was my last day living."How come you're no longer chatty?" I glared at the person who just said that and I caught him smirking. I thought about retorting but I held myself back- inhaling and exhaling slowly.From today on, I wasn't going to give him the pleasure of my anger. From today, I will stop entertaining him and actually be nice to him. All he wanted was my attention and it seemed as though that his favorite was the angry and snappy side of me but I wasn't going to give him that. For as long as I challenged myself."No because today I'm starting a new." All eyes were on me at this moment, some held confusion, some showed a little bit of curiosi

She'd been locked in her room all day, everyday.Amber told me she didn't want to open the door for anyone, but since she had access to the housekeys -- she gave them to me. I still remembered the first time we were alone.It was after I found out what Serine had done. The day where I thought I lost the only girl I ever loved.[FLASHBACK]"Angelo?" I keep my mouth shut as I stare down at the floor. "Angelo what's wro-" Her hand inches closer to my shoulder."Don't touch me," I glare at her and she removes her hand as if I had scared her. "You knew didn't you?""Knew what?""DON'T FUCKING BULLSHIT ME," She jumps in shock and stares at me with wide eyes. I ball up my fists even tighter.

    KellyI rinsed my face off with ice cold water, finding satisfaction with the temperature of the water. The more the tears streamed down my cheek, the more I forced the cold water onto my skin.I lifted my head up and the first thing I saw was my reflection. My eyes were puffy and red, I didn't know how else I was going to explain myself to Angelo. The water was slowly drying up the more I stared at myself in the mirror. I quickly patted my face dry with the nearby towel. I grab my usual face lotion and applied it on my face."Kelly?" I heard his voice from downstairs.I take one more look at myself in the mirror, forcing a smile as I came out of my bathroom. I exit my room and spot him over the balcony. "Angelo," It had been the first time I had seen him months. The rest of my Uni years were bittersweet.And like always, I'd ruined everything.I walk down the stairs, barefeet in a white hoodie. All my blonde strands were tied up into a messy bun. I shoved my hands into the hoodie

    S A R A H A huge howl of laughter escapes my mouth, once I find myself in his embrace. "D-Darek, I think that's enough now love," And to my luck, he stopped.I can't help but fail at suppressing my smile. He always knew how to make me smile. He always listened, he cared for me. Too much sometimes."I'm going to get the snacks babe, you can find a movie,""Already on it," His tan skin was glistening and it reminded me of men in the movies. He looked unreal, out of this world and I couldn't believe that I got a chance to hold him again. The chance to call him mine. His green eyes that fit perfectly- with his olive complexion-- roamed around the TV screen. He wore nothing but a pair of grey sweats- don't ask me how it even got there, but the image always had me distracted.He shifts a bit, his body moving at a normal pace but in my head it was all in slow motion. His dark black hairhair was messy and slightly wet. I smiled, my chest fluttering. This work of art was mine."Beauty,

    Levine Two years laterI stare at the picture of my dad and I. It was the picture we took on graduation day. The smile on my face then was as real as it could be.Graduation day, wasn't the best day. It was the day where we all thought we had buried my best friend, my sister. My heart still aches, it made me realize how short life really was. She could've died.She didn't, but my dad did. After Serine's birthday party, I was woken up by a phone call.***I could hear my phone ringing, it's default ring tone knocking me out of my slumber. There were pillows all over the room-- and the room I was in, was not mine. I frown, slowly sitting upright and yawn slightly. I grab my phone on chest- off- drawer and answer the call. Not even bothering to look who it was, that was calling me. My palm, rests on my forehead and I tilt my head back slightly. Fuck, I think I drank a little too much last night. "Sweetie," I hear my mom's voice, it sounds so strained. "Mom? Mom what's up?

    I was finally dead.They tried to save my life, shock after shock.I was gone.Every body's tears felt like hot water on my skin. I don't know if it was real or if I just imagined that. Probably the second. I think I was at peace.I could no longer feel and that somehow made me me happy. It was something I once hated- I was numb, a good numb? Is there really such a thing?Well, whatever it was, I didn't mind it. These past years of my years have been a rollercoaster of emotions, most bad but at least I had some good. Maybe not everything had gone to waste.I'm sure everyone had forgotten about me.In a way, it made me content. It used make me feel like I was nothing, it made me feel lonely, helpless and hopeless. It was most definitely the opposite now.I was happier.I rest assured knowing even though they all cried, they'd be okay. They'd heal.No matter how long it took, they'd be happy.And fortunately for them, they didn't have to wait so long."Girl you have to wake up!" I groa

"Why are we always meeting in the most unexpected places?""You tell me," he says and takes a seat next to me on the roof. "What's your name, again?" I put an emphasis on 'again' because I absolutely couldn't help it. He seems taken back a bit. "I'm just kidding. I actually remember you, Louis," His about to say something and I remember."Oh right, Louis Enzo," There's something in his eyes once I say that. It even shocks me the amount of stuff I remembered. "Serine Santana,""Serine, or Rine. Santana is an absolute crime," I joke. "Oh definitely," he says and I gasp. "Hey!" I playfully hit him with my palm on his shoulder a bit. "What? You said it yourself," he grins.It's then I realize, in the dark, that this man is so good looking. He had a peach black trimmed beard that suited him perfectly. I could see the silver ring on his thumb. His dark hair sui

    S E R I N EI push the door open and enter the restroom.My hands rest on the basin, as I stare at my reflection on the mirror. You could tell I had the time of my life.When was the last time I felt so happy?So free?I hadn't let loose like this in years. I haven't felt purely happy. I haven't had a satisfying escape, but tonight was different. The energy was different, not only was I enjoying myself, my girls were too. It brought a smile to my face, a happy, a silly and joyful one.I took one last look at myself in the mirror and left. I closed the door and was met by the loud music once again.The Dj was sick. I grab my phone out of my clutch and send a text to Levine. Letting her know I'd be outside if she ended up looking for me.I shove my phone back in and continued walking. I reach the outside and shake off my heels. Once their off, I prepare to climb. I was glad that I wore short shorts underneath - an even bigger plus was that nobody was around.

My body shivers and I'm helpless.Not even Levine could help me right now. I had to handle this by myself. I had to get through something without someone else's help. I had to own up to my mistakes. The secret I've kept.It was time.I couldn't deny it."Silence says everything,"I can't even bear to look him in the eye. I just can't.I can't face him."WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU DO THIS TO ME?" The loudness of his voice almost makes me shout. I finally look at him. He looks torn -- so broken. It makes me sick how I was the cause of all that. With my hand on my chest, tears blurring my vision, I struggle to find my voice.Just to say that I was sorry.Just to say that, even though I knew damn well it wouldn't help.

A smile overtakes my expression, as I watch him, intrigued.He explained every piece that I didn't understand on paper. I didn't get to hear everything he was saying but all I knew is that it made sense.Whatever it was.He looked so focused and dedicated, he was a smart guy.Who I watched from afar, for years. For as long as I had known him. Alexander was there, but as the guy I thought I liked. Right, thought.As far as I knew, Alex and I weren't together because we liked and wanted to be together, no. It was out of mere desperation. There was no good reason other than just- him wanting to get Serine.No matter how, he had to it. No matter if he had to hurt her in the process. Alex didn't care, as long as he breathed the same air she did. As long as he was in her presence. No matter if he irritated her and how much he claimed to hate her, despite knowi
