When We Meet The Diary
Chapter 1"Brandon," I hold his hand in mine as he lay on the hospital bed.He seems so weak. It's hard for me to look at him in his eyes. Brandon was the captain of our high school football team. His enthusiasm for the sport was evident in his eyes. He is ready to push himself every time during practice.The gleam in his eyes as he punches his victorious waves in the air was a sight to see. I was there, in his every game, cheering him up. The smile plastered on his face as he scored the goal still hangs there in my mind.Gone the bulging muscle on his arm and torso, leaving only bones. His eyes that one sparkles every time he smiles replaced with sadness. He is the love of my life and will always be. His view on life was different from mine.
When We Meet The Meeting
TEN people!I have to wait for ten people before ordering two cups of cappuccino.Slowly, pulling down the zip, my fingers touched a thousand things that I chucked into the bag hastily this morning.my eyes widened with a wicked smile plastered on my face as I found the thing that will push the plan forward.Glancing around, I have to make sure that nobody sees me or looking at me suspiciously. Satisfied that nobody is watching me, I throw out the plastic snake on the floor while screaming on top of my voice, like a crazy banshee. "snake, help."With people running around, trying to save themselves from the 'poisonous snake', I moved forward, placing myself at the front.
When We Meet Turbulence
Chapter 3(unedited) The light in the cabin flickered, on and off before going off. Did I tell you that I hate darkness? The only light in the cabin is the light from the thunder outside. My hand closing my ear every time the light brightens inside the cabin. Add that to the list, thunder with flashes of light. Just the right combination for a perfect horror story. Ironically, this is what I pictured whenever I read a thriller or a mystery novel. It's in a situation like this the murderer will come to the heroine, hiding his weapon stealthily under his coat. You will read further with your heart pounding behind your chest as if you want to warn the heroine or the main character, hey look out. As if god is granting my wish, I saw an obsidian shadow nearing me in a very suspicious manner. My eyes flew open, fearing my life. This is not how I expect my life to end. Taking trembling step backwards, I looked around. Someone help me, please.

When We Meet FATE?
The sound of chirping was the first thing I heard as I opens my eyes slowly. Groggily, extending my arms sideways, I yawned. Rays of yellow hues with a tinge of red peeked through the window. As the colours clashed with the glass, a rainbow of beautiful colours splashed on the tiles, creating a stunning view celebrating a new morning with a new day and I hoped for better ones.A ding whistled, signalling a new message. After entering the password, I smiled. Indeed it was a promising morning, with favourable news. The weather has changed for the better and now the flight to Athens continues as normal.Then, a small flicker interrupted the reasonable train of thought. This means only one thing.

REGINA"What happened between the both of you?" Jenna yelled, closing the door with a hard push. "Nothing," I said shrugging my shoulder. "And what is he talking about Brandon being your husband?" Her eyes bored into mine, asking for an explanation. "He made his assumption Jenna." sighing, I showed the ring. Slowly, I trudged the short gap between me and the bed. Sitting on the end side I looked around, trying to avoid Jenna's piercing look. Knowing Jenna, she won't be satisfied until I tell her the whole drama. So, I begin the story with the first incident, splashing the coffee on his shirt. I have to stop a few times when she needs me to repeat the biting episode.I thought she would be angry and the few curse words that she knew will fly out of her mouth and I will be stopping her from going out of this room and punching that asshole that she called her fiance's cousin.

She has this amazing stamina while I have a problem with my heel.It's not like I can lessen the pain by wearing flat-heeled sandals. It's just something that I inherited from my grandma. She had the same problem. The solution is less walking. Which seems impossible today. "Jenna, this is the last boutique. Please." "The last for today. I hope we can find something for you here." she walked inside the boutique that has this lavish outlook on the outside."I'm looking for a bridesmaid dress," Jenna announce to a rather jovial-looking girl at the counter."What colour would you prefer to have a look at?" The same girl asked.Jenna looked around for a while, not answering the girl's question."Any colour frankly and any type of dress," I answered. I'm the one who is going to wear it right?
