The Victim 60| untitled
S E R I N E"I'm coming,""Can we all come?" I release a huge sigh. "Guys, I can handle this on my own," I say for the hundredth time. I was currently on FaceTime with these people who had the stupid idea of calling me.I mean, who still calls?"I genuinely feel like she's not over the fact that we called her,""You think?""Oh get over it," Levine rolls her eyes. "Look who's talking," She then smiles innocently and I shake my head in return. "When is the... you know, coming?""Round about in five or so. I just wanna get this assignment over and done with honestly.""Same," They both say. "At least you guys have better partners," I say."Excuse me? I have Amber," she says as a matter of factly. "Oh yeah,""Well Nina, seems like you got the best out of all of us," She then shrugs. "Well anyways, I have to go. I'm gonna need those five minutes of preparation,""Call if anything,""Yup! Right across the street boo,"I smile lightly. "Ciao," I hang up. I silently stare at the ceiling as

A N G E L OIt's been an hour and she had not answered.Delivered but not read."You keep checking phone... expecting someone?" I look up to the source of the voice and sigh when I do. "She hasn't answered?" I shake my head, tiredly."She's probably busy," My eyes lock with hers. Not believing what had just come out of her mouth. Instead of her trying to drag her name into the mud, she was doing the opposite. This must be some joke. "Look I won't pretend that I like her. We all know that's true but I am a girl at the end of the day. Don't worry about it,""And since when have you sided with her?""Oh no trust me, I'm not siding with her. I'm just trying to ease your mind a bit," I arch my brow at this. "Why?"She shrugs. "I don't know exactly but Angelo," her voice goes softer. "I'm not as bad as you think I am. I have feelings too.""I'm only human,"***I feel uneasy as I see myself in front of the f
The Victim 62| love hurts
L E V I N E[Flashback]He watched her like she was the only girl he had ever seen. It was the way I wished every man would look at a woman. Like she was everything. Like the Goddess' women are, but only a handful of us can actually say, experienced that. It was the way I wish he would look at me. I guess I finally liked a boy. It was stupid, so stupid. The feeling inside of me every time I saw them together, stupid. It stung. Though I had to keep my mouth shut and my heart safe at all costs. I was never one to actually ever like a boy so easily, and if I did, it was serious. To my bad luck, it was all unrequited. He loved her, he only saw her. I think a lot of people confuse that. Being with a person who doesn't see you as the only one, just know you aren't the only one. I guess I had this crush on since forever. It may be crazy that Levine Arnaud, is crazy in love. Is thinking about a boy that loves her best friend. Love hurts. Someone decided to take the seat next to me wi
The Victim 63| what if
S E R I N E My jaw is slightly ajar, as I stare at Levine in shock.Her brother was coming to visit? His timing couldn't have been worse. "Took the words right out my mouth," She mutters and I soon realized I had said that out loud. I don't say anything and just run my fingers through my curls."Honestly, how do you feel?" I ask. "Truth be told," She looks at me. "like crap. Every thing was going perfectly fine up until now. Me being locked up in jail was like a sign, a sign of more bad things coming my way,""Amen.""May I join?" I look up to see the brunette, Nina. "Sure,""I guess everyone's having a bad day?""What do you mean by everyone? What happened to you?" I look at her. "Well you guys don't even have to say, I can easily tell. I had a little encounter with Amber, David came late and got detention. Darek was sent to the principals office and Angelo got into a little fight," My brows come together. "What?""W- what? why? when?""I'm not quite sure but I heard and I saw him f

K E L L YI watched him place his hand on hers, with so much love and worry all at once.[Flashback]I understood why she chose him. 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

S E R I N E "Angelo, I can explain,""Is this what he meant? Tell me is this what he meant by, I wouldn't call you my girlfriend after what you did? Is it?" 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. "I love you Serine, I loved you." His words pierce into my soul almost.It hurts so much.I didn't know if making it br

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. I climbed quickly and rea

S E R I N E"You?""It's me," I slightly smile. Not even knowing if he could see it through the darkness. "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
